GAIN OVER LAST YEAR

That the railroads stand out as the
greatest upbuilders of the country is
shown clearly by the figures just issued
western railroads. covering the work
of these roads during the 1910 colonist
season, which closed two months ago.
During the brief period between
March and April Is, between 10000
and $4,000 colonists, according to the
statistics of the railroads. found new
homes in the Pacific Northwest. in
California, Idaho, Montana, Nevada,
Utah, Colorado and wyoming.
In Record Movement.
The spring movement of colonists is
regarded as having broken the record
made the previous spring by from Is
to 20 per cent. With the exceptions of
figures prepared by the Hartman
lines, however, those of the other roads
are the estimates of their own Off
Gals, which probably are not far from
being correct.
The statistics prepared by the Har-
riman lines may be regarded as con-
sentative and very close to the actual
the six weeks of the spring colonist
found homes in the various states ira
versed by these lines.
During the same period of 1909 only
13,947 colonists moved through the va
rious gateways fed by the Hartman
roads. This is an increase of 2,5s5
for the six weeks during which the
colonists obtained special low fares, or
approximately 16 per cent. This COM
parfson, however. does not tell the
whOla story ia ri, O
1909 continued fourteen days longer
than during the present year.
Season Was shorter.
Last year reduced rates were in eff
feet from March 1 to April 30 For
some reason the railroads this year de-
cided to reduce the colonists' period
from two months to six weeks. Ac-
cordingly comparisons can be made
only between the entire period this
season and the corresponding eight
weeks of 1909.
The increase in the total movement
for the entire period this year was not
sufficient however, to make the move
ment greater than that of a year ago
Between March 1 and April 80, 1909
a total of 1926 colonists moved their
homes into the territory indicated
above over the Hartman lines, as
against 16,542 for the entire period
| this year, which was shorter by two
| weeks.
Had the co1onist season this year
extended to April 80, and had the aver
age of the entire period been main
tanned, total of $4,000 colonists
would have gone into the variou:
northwest states. They would have
| represented full 20 per cent increase
| over last year. Estimates regarding
| the movement to the southwest are
not attainable as yet.

Railroad Building Greater Than in
Any Other state.

Railroad Bu1l0ln& OfeStteF 1iidl III
Any Other State.
Railroad building in Texas in prog
ress is greater than in any other state
in the Union. The Atchison contem-
plates building in the next two years
almost 500 miles of line, supplement-
ing its present mileage. The Coleman
Texico cutoff, ESQ miles long, is now
building. This will connect the Gulf,
Colorado & Santa Fe with what is
known as the Belen cutoff and will,
when completed, establish a new gulf
forecast line. In addition there are in
course Of construction or contemplated
twenty-five new lines or extensions of
existing lines which when completed
will open up territory heretofore lack
ing railroad facilities. Especially is
this true west of Fort Worth. In 1891
there were 1854 miles of railroad in
the state. In 1909 there were 1910,
with gross earnings of $50, 900,
against S35, 666,000 in 1891. In 1891
net income aggregated only 100000.
In 1909 it aggregated $22,384, 900.
The first railroad constructed in the
state was the Buffalo, BayoI, Brazos
& Colorado, in 1853, distance of
twenty miles from Harrisburg to STAFF
ford. In 1861 there were 800 miles of
railroad. BY 1863 this had been in
creased to 3S5 miles, to $50 in 1859,
and to I'll in 1870. In the next ten
years construction progressed with re-
markable rapidity SO that in 1880
there were 3.293 miles of line within
state limits.

SHIPPING IN THE MExICANs.
Santa Fe Bringing Carloads of Them
to Kansas.

Emporia, Kan, June s.-About
three hundred Mexican employees of
the Santa Fe we're paid off in the
freight Office here the other day. 1t
is estimated that probably two hun
bred more of these laborers are yet
to be paid. One hundred and eighty
Mexicans came to this city on passen-
ger train 116 Wednesday noon. Two
cars on one of last nights trains were
damned so full of Mexicans that they
had to stick their heads out of the
windows to make room for all that
wanted to ride.
The people who came through this
city on Santa Fe passenger trains the
last week, are probably inclined to
think they are in Mexico, instead of
Kansas, when they stop at the depot.
