NEW EssPEE LINE IN MEXICO.
An Extension 900 Miles Long VIII Be
Asked From Government.

| Guadalajara, Mexico, Nov. 1.-The
| Southern Pacific company will soon
make application to the federal gov
eminent for q concession to extend it's
line from Topic to a connection with
the Pan-American and the National
Tehuantepec railroads, a distance of
about 800 miles.
The route of the proposed extension
will be down the Pacific coast region,
in some places hugging close to the
ocean in order to obtain a passage
way The grading force upon the di-
vision between the Santiago river and
Topic has been increased and it will
nor be long until trains will be run
ming into the latter city.
The extension of the line to the
isthmus of Tehuantepec will be of the
greatest value and Importance to a
vast part of the country that is now
isolated from the remainder of the re-
public. 1t is stated that the Southern
Pacific has received assurances that a
liberal subsidy will be granted by the
government in aid of the proposed ex-
tension.
Much heavy construction work will
be encountered, as the mountains jut
down close to the sea in many places,
particularly in the state of Guerreo.
Many rivers must be crossed among
the larger being the. Cohuayana, Bal
sas, Ometepec and Verde.
When the line is finished to Topic
the construction work will be concen-
trated on the division between that. city
and Orendain, near Guadalajara. The
latter division lies through the Sierra
Madres, and is made up chiefly of d
series of tunnels and bridges. Several
months ago the Southern Pacific was
granted a concession by the govern
ment to extend its line from Orendian
to the City of Mexico via Guadala-
lara, and it is stated that this con-
struction work will be started as soon
mis- nd
mally approved by the federal govern
ment.

W. C. 7. U. FOR SUFFRAGE
National Body Pledges Itself to Sup
port of the Cause.

Milwaukee, Wis, Nov. Woman suf-
frage was endorsed by the National w c.
T. L. convention today in the following
language:
Because it is just, and believing that
the best interest of humanity will be con-
served and advanced by the ballot for wo-
men, We pledge ourselves to work for
their acknowledgment on equal terms with
men,"
Other resolutions which touch upon total
abstinence, prohibition purity, peace and
legislation also were adopted. The one on
prohibition declares in part:
LAS loyal citizens of the United States,
we declare that for the preservation and
development of our free government the
liquor traffic must be destroyed. We re-
iterate our f0rasr declarations that state
and national prohibition of the manufac-
ture and sale of alcoholic liquors imbedded
in the constitution is the only solution of
the problem of deliverance from the evils
of intemperance.
1--WE therefore pledge ourselves to in
augurate campaign for state and ma
tional constitutional prohibition, and for
the election of officials pledged in their
platforms to the enforcement of the
same"
The resolution under the head of "Puri-
ty," urges drastic legislation against traf-
fic in women, improper use of the mails
and impure or suggestive bill board ad-
vertiSements.
International arbitration is favored and
the senate of the United States is asked
to support the pending arbitration trea-

More Than , Cents a Mile Diff
ference in Transportation.
PUBLIC PAYS BILLS.
Cost of Canal Construction With
the Taxpayers.
Other Items Of General Interest
in the Traffic World.

Probably 999 men out of a thousand
think that transportation on internal
waterways is cheaper than by rail,
says the Railway Engineering Review.
And so it is, in many case, If the
price paid the carrier only in consid-
cred But the canal or canalized river
costs large sums to construct and
maintain. The entire public pays the
bill through taxation, for interest on
cost and expense of maintenance, The
actual cost of carrying freight by wa
ter embraces these large items as well
as the rate collected by the carrier.
The real question is, is it economic al
and just to tax all property owners for
the benefit of a comparatively s1na l
number? If one man derives a benefit
in rates from water transportation,
another man pays what the first man
really ought to pay for himself. It is
really legahzed and sugar-coated rob-
berE.
The bureau Of railway economies has
done a good work in taking up this
subject and preparing a bulletin on
THE Cost of Transportation on the
Erie Canal and by Rail" It shows
that the total cost of transportation
on the canal is SCI mills per ton per
mile; while on the competing railways
it runs from 81 mills to IA mills. The
cost on the canal really exceeds that
on the rail by from Is to 40 per cent.
And as the canal carries only low grade
material, which is far the cheapest to
handle, and the railway figures include
hlgh-grdde merchandise. which is most
expensive to handle, the difference is

P. O. PAYS A PROFIT.
Department Shows a Surplus for the
Last Fiscal Year.

Washington, Nov. For the first time
since 1888 the postoffice department dur
ing the fiscal year ended June 30, 1911,
was conducted at a profit. In "a months
the conduct of the postal service has re-
suited in changing a deficit of SIT, 479, 77t
for the fiscal year, 1909, to surplus of
$219 lis for the fiscal year, 1911
During the last fiscal year the audited
revenues of the department were 1921,
S79,S23 and the audited expenditures, 1927,
64S. 926.
These facts are detailed in a report or
Charles A. Kram, auditor for the post
office department, in a report submitted
to Postmaster General Hitchcock.
During the fiscal year, S1,9O6,015 do
nestle money orders were issued aggre-
eating $780, 0S4 1872, and 4,060,413 interna-
tional money orders were issued, aggre-
eating $685. 211.
A large amount of money is available
for the postoffice department the report
showing that more than 100000 is held
BY the treasurer of the United States and
assistant treasurers for the use Of the
postal service and that more than &c.
100000 is similarly held for the use Of the

SMALL GAIN IN MO. p. REVENUES
For Third Week in October Road In
creased Per Cent in Gross.

New York, Nov. For the third
week of October the Missouri Pacific
railroad reports an increase of $4,000
in gross revenues This is equivalent
to an increase of per cent or at the
same average ratio of improvement
shown for the fifteen weeks of the
present fiscal year to October 21.
Since July 1 last gross has increased
$335,0O0. In the second week of Oc-
tober the increase was SCI, 900, or 81
per cent.
President Bush states that his main
difficulty is in getting sufficient freight
equipment with which to handle the
traffic. Deliveries on the 5000 new
freight cars of various kinds recently
ordered have not yet commenced, but
these can be counted on to relieve the
situation in the coming months. All
but 1000 of the 5000 bad order cars
found to exist on May have been
put in standard condition by the new
management Corresponding Roadway
has been made in repairing the 800
locomotives at that time out of service.
Improvement and betterm ent needs
of the property have proved so large
that all of the funds secured from the
recent sale of $4,000, 900 notes was
needed for these purposes. A large
portion was used to wipe out the float
ing debt Under these circumstances
it is not improbable that cash for pay
ment for the new equipment will be
raised by sale of equipm ent trusts.
The amount may be around $4,000, 600
and will permit a scorresp onding
amount of the companys treasury
cash to be used for the other purposes.

FAVOR ROCK ISLAND STRIKE.
Vote of Shopmen on Question Asked
for a WaIkout.

Chicago, Nov 1.-The strike vote,
taken recently among employees of the
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific rail
way, was in favor of a strike, officials
of the road were informed by a COM
mittee representing the workers. A
conference was asked looking to a set
tlement of the difficulty, but because
of the absence from Chicago of some
railroad officials, the conference can
not be held until next week.
Wages and the railroads withdrawal
from operation of certain shop rules
are given as the basis of the trouble.
Inasmuch as the international Off
GERS will be at a conference of the
m etal trades branch of the American
Federation of Labor at Atlanta, Ga,
November 10, the employees desire to
have an answer from the railroad be-
fore that date.
Wage increases of approximately 10
per cent and a restoration of the union
shop rules will be insisted upon at the
conference, declared the employees.
