VICTORY MEANS HIGH RATES
RAILROAD HEADS ADMIT INTENT
TO ADD TO INCREASE.
Burlington Vice-President and Coun-
sci Qualify Statement With High
err Cost Argument.

Chicago.-The hope that a victory
in their fight for increased freight
rates will gives them an oppor-
tunity to make still further advances
is the reason given by the western
railroads for the tenacity displayed IN
the battle they are waging before the
interstate commerce commission.
This was admitted by G. G. Burn
ham, vice-president Of the Burlington
railroad, in charge of traffic, and by
Attorney Dawes, counsel of the road,
at the hearing.
The admission was qualified, how
ever, by statements that the increase
asked for in the present hearing
would only Offset reductions that had
been made by the commission in re-
cent cases and that the further adj
vances would furnish the roads the
money declared necessary to meet
ever-mounting expenses and the cost
of needed improvements and equip
ment.

Before the years outing season is
over nearly half a million persons
will have sought recreation and health
in the national forests. The use of
the forests for recreation is as yet
in its beginning, but is growing stead
lily and rapidly-in some of the forests
at the rate of 100 per cent. per annum.
The day seems not far distant when
100000 persons will annually visit
them. The records show that the sea-
sonal use of the forests runs from two
months in a Colorado forest, such as
the Routt, to IL months in an Alaskan,
such as the Tongass. But the uses
differ. In Colorado the 1000 visitors
entered the forest to fish, to camp, to
climb and to drink the medicinal wa
tiers; in Alaska, the 1000 almost sole
ly to hunt and fish. The q, ZOO per-
sons who went into the Conconino for
est, Arizona, during nine months went
to camp or to enjoy the scenery. The
most popular of the forests is the
Pike, containing the famous peak of
that name.

An uproar followed these words.

Finally, M. Brisson, president of

The official census-statistics give
Chicago a population of 2,1S5,293, a
gain of 4S6,70S in ten years. This is
doing very well, as the returns show
Chicago to be the second city in the
United States in number of inhabit-
ants, ranking next to New York both
in population and in rate of increase.
Yet Chicago is not satisfied. The me-
tropolis thought it should have at
least 100000. Apparently the only
way to get such a total is to annex
some more of the outlying territory.

to earth in the twilight at the close
of the international aviation meet at
Belmont park with the Paragraph reg
istering a new worlds record for altl-
tude. The little machine of only 80
horsepower had been UP 9,714 feet, ex-
ceeding by 528 feet the height attained
in France on Oct. by Henry w. Wynn
malon of Holland
The Wright brothers were jubilant
at Johnstone's success. 1t was the
first time he had ever flown their tiny
machine, and he had set a new mark
for aviators of the world.
But Johnstone's sky climbing feat
was not the only notable incident of
the closing day of the meet. Claude
Grahame-White, the athletic Britisher
who carries away the Gordon Bennett
trophy which takes the next interna-
tional tournament to England, sharp
ened the sporting appetite with a
challenge to John B. Moisant of Chi
cago. for another race from the park
around the Statue of Liberty in
New York harbor and return.
Moisant, who won $4,000 for his
fast fight around the statue Sunday,
ignored the challenge.
Then Grahame-White, denied anoth-
er chance for visit to Miss Liberty
sent a thrill through the spectators,
when at the close of a speed race with
J. A. d. McCurdy of the Curtiss team,
his propeller snapped, his monoplane
dug into the ground in front of the
grandstand, turned turtle, and buried
the aviator underneath. He was un-
injured, and won the race.
