turers from all sections of the country.
Commissioner Lane. Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. is chairman OF
the special committee.
Probably no single question In the
traffic department Of the railroads gives
the traffic officials as much trouble as the
question Of demurrage on cars. There is
no universal system OF demurrage. one
railroad having one system and schedule

another line has something else For In
stance. the Pennsylvania system will
have one set Of charges and days OF linn
itation the Baltimore and Ohio another.
the New York Central another. and so
on through the entire list Of roads.
Patrons OF railroads in ali sections OF
the country are opposed 10 the demurrag &c
system on cars, as il Is enforced by the
railroads Of the country, asserting the
roads do not grant them sufficient time TO
unload their goods before the demurrage
tax is put on the cars. This demuTrage
o.
becomes burdensome and Is unjust. and
should be so modified and reduced. and
the time limit for unloading extended ~
justice and equity are TO be had.

ELECTRIC ROAD TO
MT. RAINIER

r. Green, San Francisco promot-
er, after spending 10 days ON Mount
Rainier and vicinity, declares an cleo
trio railroad can be run 10 the top
of the mountain, and he says he will
organize company at San Francisco
to build the line. The road he con-
templates will be patterned in part
after the line constructed from Cal
cutta to Darjheeing, and which
reaches an altitude of $4,000 feet,
states an exchange. The summit end
of the road would have its terminal
in the crater and one of the features
of the line would be a large hotel in
the crater, which will be constructed
of stone from the crater rim.
Green declares the road with the
hotel will be one of the greatest seen
ic features of the world. The plans
for the hotel contemplate a massive
structure with sanitarium attach
ment and every advantage taken of
the unparalleled view. Green, with
capitalists back of him, is now ma
terializing his ideas into plans and
says he will at once ask the govern
ment for a permit for the line. De-
tails of construction will be kept Sc
cret. The power for operating the
line and supplying light and heat in
the hotel on the summit would be
generated at a power station which
will be operated by water from some
of the mountains waterfalls. Green
believes that the Mount Rainier re-
gion will within few years have a
greater travel than the entire Yellow
stone National park.
The route selected for the road
leads from Reese's camp up by Alta
Vista to snowline and thence across
the wide snOwfield wastes to Camp
Muir and thence along the crest OF
the cleaver separating the Nisqually
and CowlitZ glaciers to the foot of
Gigraltar rock The rock will be tun-
neled, the bore emerging on the ice
cap of the mountain above Gibraltar.
From this point a straight-away up
hill climb to the crater is contem-
plated.
