Washington a Railroad Center,

Washington city is seldom thought of
or alluded to as a railroad center. Yet
the capital in one. and that an important
sense. has become the railroad center
of the United States
Washington is the home of the inter
state commerce commission, with which
all common carriers engaged in interstate
commerce or in commerce within ter
ritory of the United States must treat
The powers of the commission since the
passage of An act to regulate COM
merce.' approved February 4, 1887, have
been steadily enlarged. until at present
1.-The commission has jurisdiction, on COM
plant and after fun hearing. to deter
mine and prescribe reasonable rates
regulations and practices. and order
reparation to injured shippers; TO require
carriers to cease and desist from unjust
discrimination or undue or unreasonable
preference, and to institute and carry on
proceedings for enforcement of the law.
The commission has the authority to in
quire into the management of the bust
ness Of common carriers and to inspect
their records aKd accounts.
The Commerce Court. created by an &C:
of Congress of June Is. 1910. has exclu-
sive jurisdiction of all cases arising
under the act to regulate commerce. eX-
cept cases for the collection of forfeiture
OF penalty, criminal prosecutions AMI
reparation cases.
The result of all this is that every
common carrier In the United States
doing an interstate business and every
common carrier doing business in ter
ritory of the United States must do bust
ness in Washington. i; would be safe to
say that every interstate transportation
line in the United States has legal rep
resentative at Washington. OF course, in
some instances many lines are repre-
Sented by the same attorney.
Another factor tending to prove tina I.
Washington is an important railroad CEN
ter was the organization here of the
bureau of railway economics, an institu-
ton conducted by railroads. This burea Ii
deals mainly with the collection, prepa-
ration and dissemination of railroad sta
tstics-statistics showing operating rev
enues, operating expenses. cost of MAIN
tenance of way and maintenance of
equipment. and all figures relating to cost
of transportation and railroad income.

thus saving distance and avoiding perils.
Canada is exercised over two big canal
projects. One is tire long and oft pro-
posed Georgian bay canal, which would
connect Lake Huron with the st. Law
renee river near Montreal by means OF
French river, Lake Nipissing and the OF
tawa river In east-west shipping this
route would obviate the navigation OF
lakes Erie and Ontario. The other project
is an enlargement of the Welland cahal
connecting lakes Erie and Ontario.
Russia is pushing its project or wa
terway between the Baltic and the Black
seas. She wants to be able to unite Al
will the war fleets of these two seas. for
that i'm the Black sea cannot pass the
DardaneIes and thus get into the outer
world 1t would also be a shortcut meT-
chant route. 1t would start from riga
on the Baltic and follow the Duna 1or
about 200 miles to Vitehsk A canal Of
sixty miles would continue to kopHs on
the Dnieper From kopys the Waterwa!
would follow the Dnieper until II de-
bouched at kherson. on the BLACK sea.
The length of this water course is to De
1900 miles. The canal will be 40 feet
wide at the bottom and 300 feet at the
surface. Its depth will not be less than
thirty feet. The cost of this canal, to
he called the Car Nicolas canal, Is es-
timated at s275,OO0.000.
France has long been thinking of a
canal and river route between the Medi-
terranean and the English channel. by
which it's shipping might avoid the guns
of Gibraltar and the storms of the Bay
Of Biscay. At present in France there
is much talk of the revival of this project.
