Efficiency Of Railroads.

julius Kruttschnitt, director of
maintenance and operation Of the
Hartman lines, recently delivered
an address before the graduate
School of Business Administration of
Harvard University on Efficiency of
Public Service of the Railways"
During the course of his talk Mr..
Kruttschnitt gave some very inter
esting figures on American railways.
Among other things, he said:
ITO form an adequate conception
of the magnitude and intricacy of
these great transportation machines
and of the results of their ceaseless
operation, we must resort to sta
tistics. The railways of the United
States had in 1909 about 235,0OO
miles of main line, nearly as much
as the mileage of the railways of all
other countries combined, to which
must be added over 1O7, 900 miles
of extra main tracks, yards and sid
ings. OF these $4,000 miles of
track, aggregating nearly IA times
the length of the earth's equator,
$4,000 locomotives were busy haul
ing nearly $4,000 passengers and
about 2,25O,OOO freight cars cover
ing about 100000 miles a day, or
the almost inconceivable total of l.
100 million train miles per annum.
"The mind fails utterly to grasp
these figures. Some conception of
their significance may be formed,
however, by considering that if the
earth were girdled by a railroad
track at the equator and trains dis
patched on this track every IL min
utes, each of them would have to
be scheduled to complete it's $4,000
mile trip around the globe in "a
hours in order that all of them in a
year should run up a train mileage
equal to that of the railways of the
United States. Measured in units of

by the snow-clad peaks surrounding
Payette Lakes. Think of the pros
perity that will ensue, and the hun
dreds of visitors that will travel to
that place for their summer outing;
of the diseases cured and lives re-
iuvenated because of the wealth
produced by the water stored in
Payette Lakes. Ponder these mat
ters we'll and then tell us If there
is net another side to this question.
at is true that many property
owners around the lakes will be
damaged, but that damage can be
reckoned in dollars and cents and
should and would be paid. All
other damage is pure fiction. 1t
has been stated that the waters
would be raised about 70 feet; that
is pure nonsense. The water can
be raised 20 feet, which will sub
serve all the purposes intended and
will not mar the beauty of the
scenery nor foul the purity of the
water.
1--WE do not speak from hearsay.
We were at the Payette Lakes before
any of the present residents were
there. We navigated "Jewsharp
Jacks" boats when they were the
only boats on the lakes, and we've
handled most every boat ever built
there except the steamers, and we've
rode in them. And we're going
back there again this summer and
hope that the lake will be made a
reservoir and cut out about a hud-
bred feet of sand that we have wad-
ed through for the past rs years in
order to get to the lake. And we're
going to have session with Dad"
Mccall and Williams and Blackwell
and Boydston that will probably not
be published"

wEIsER SIGNAL ALARMED.

The Weiser Signal is greatly ex-
cited over the alleged dissertation of
the Payette Lakes by the Black Can
yon Irrigation district. The editor
of the Signal has been a resident OF
Idaho for a few months and there
are many things he does not know
Lakes. Among the many other
things that he does not seem to
know are the facts that nobody
wants to injure or destroy the
lakes as a pleasure and summer re-
sort; that only about 700 acres
now covered by underbrush and
scrub timber will be submerged;
that the beauty and healthfulness of
the lakes will not be injured in the
least.
In this Connection it is interesting
to quote from the Parma Herald,
whose editor has lived in Idaho for
25 years or more. The Herald says:
During the past rs years the
editor of the Herald has spent many
happy days on the beautiful waters
of the Payette Lakes and on the
streams and wooded slopes surround
ing, and we hope, during each re-
curing season, as long as we have
the health and strength, to add to
life's enjoyment by returning to
visit this delightful spot We have
many friends there, including the
McCalls, Yeakel, Boydston, Williams,
Blackwell and others. We would
not see a single one of these suffer
wrong in any manner.
but there is another side to the
matter. Think of the homes that
would be created and the millions
of dollars worth of property that
would be produced by the water
that can be stored IN that reservoir.
Think of the thousands of acres of
desert that will blossom as the rose
at the magic touch of water supplied

reason to consider the management
highly efficient.


The total reserve held by 1877
national banks at the close of bust
ness on June 7, date of the last
call by the comptroller of the cur
rency, was $1,47a,140,795, an aver
age of 22.10 per cent, and $121,-
87O,S15 above the amount required
to be held by law. The percentage
in the central reserve cities has
increased to 27.37 per cent.
Compared with their condition on
June 80, 1910, the national banks
show an increase of $486, 423,977 in
their total resources; $1O8,679, 900
in loans and discounts, and $780,
774,844 in individual deposits. The
only decreases in any items are in
United States government deposits
and rediscounts, but these are slight.
In comparison with their condi-
ton on March Z, 1911, the date of
the previous call, the combined banks
show increases Of $52, 799,7S6 in
loans and discounts, $SS,295,4S1 in
cash and $173,367,O65 in deposits.
New York City shows a loss in
loans of $12,351,123, but gains in
cash of $1O,522,OS0 and in deposits
of $84,2O1,O20. The other reserve
cities in the eastern states show
gains in loans of $4,886,79O in
cash of $S,S37,S91 and in deposits
of $27,114,767. The country banks
in that section show gains in loans
of $11,446,955; in cash of $3,51S,-
924 and in deposits of $2O,163,933.
A summary of the eastern states
shows gains in all as follows:
Loans, $S,9S2,623; cash $780,
s97, and deposits, $131, 479,721.
The city of Chicago shows gains In
loans of $5,325,243; in cash, $9,-
142,7S7, and deposits, $13,44S,7S6
The city of st. Louis shows a loss
in each as follows: Loans $4,21S,-
649; cash, $1,O61,614; deposits,
$62O,OS4.
The other reserve city banks in
the middle western states show gains
viz: Loans $2,9O8,320; cash, $3,-
$50, 969, and deposits, $6,816,18S.
The country banks in the middle
west show a loss in loans OF $34S,-
$50, but gains in cash of $2,784,S64
and in deposits Of $613,236.
All of the banks in the New Eng

public service performed, the pas
senger trains run sos million miles
per annum, carrying an average of
81 passengers in each train and
thereby performing a public service
equal to giving every man, woman
and child of our 80 millions a ride
of 325 miles during the year; and
the freight trains in their runs move
the equivalent of 1879, 415,2 24
loaded and empty freight cars one
mile
After discussing the relation of
the public to the railways and ad-
hitting the right of the people to
discipline the railway when it is in
the wrong, Mr. Kruttschnitt argued
for calm and dispassionate action,
saying that passionate and resentful
action and wise action usually are
incompatible"
Speaking of the efficiency. of the
American railways as compared with
the railways of other countries, Mr..
Kruttschnitt said:
every dollar of capital which
the owners of railways in the United
States have invested renders four
and a half times the service that the
same dollar does in the United King
dom, one and half times as much
as in Germany, three times as much
as in France and two and a fourth
times as much as in Switzerland.
at will be noted that the net OPP
Grating revenues per mile of road
that is the net earnings or annual
rental paid by the public for the
hire of captain the railways of
the United States are smaller than
those of any of the other railways
with which comparison is made. For
every dollar of net earnings the
railways of the United States rem
dered two and half times as much
service to the public as did the rail-
ways of the United Kingdom and
twice as much as did the railways
of France. The Swiss and German
railroads are owned and operated by
the government: and yet for every
dollar of net earnings the railways
of the United States rendered from
one and fourth to one and a half
times as much service to the public
as did the railways of Switzerland
and Germany. And they did so
while charging the lowest average
freight rates in the world. In other
words, the owners of the railways
of the United States received less
profit in proportion to the amount
of service that they rendered to
their patrons than did the owners of
any of the other railways; and the
amounts that they charged shippers
for rendering these services were
smaller than the amounts charged
IhC ohAppCl6 NY INC IdllWdyS VI any
of the other countries.
"Let me try to indicate the results
by another comparison. For the net
amount earned by each dollar of
capital, the railways of the United
States moved a passenger and about
five and a half tons of freight one
mile, those in the United Kingdom
a passenger and only .85 of ton of
freight and those in Germany a
passenger and three tons of freight.
Because the owners of our roads
received less in proportion to the
services rendered than did the own
ers of any of the other railways,
they might very we'll pronounce the
management of their properties
comparatively inefficient, but the
users-the public that received
more service in proportion to what
they paid than did the users of any
of the foreign railways, have every
