AMERICAN RAILWAYS.

The progress of American railways
can best be realized by comparison
with the railway systems Of other
countries The most efficient railways
Of Continental Europe are those en-
braced in the Prussian- Hessian sys-
tenn in Germany The combined area
OF Prussia and Hesse is nearly the
same as the combined area Of the
states Of New York, Pennsylvania.
New Jersey. Delaware and Maryland,
and the Prussian-Hessian railways
embrace approximately the same mile
age as is operated in this group Of
states
The Prussian- Hessian roads have
the advantage of serving a territory
with am average population of Pa per
square milo, as compared with 16S in
the American states. They also have
the advantage Of very much lower
wage scale. In 1907, the average daily
wage paid to their employees was but
sc cents. I'm the same year the aver
age cmpIoye below the grade of gen
cral officer Of the roads i'm the states
mentioned received s217 per day, and
since that year wages on the Amer
lean roads have been materially in
creased. Notwithstanding this very
great difference in wages, the Ameri-
can roads carry more than twice the
volume OF freight a mile of line at
rates that average just about one-half
the average Of the Prussian-H essian
roads. I'm 19OS-the latest year for
which Prussian statistics are available
tho average revenue for ton a mile
on the Prussian-H essian system was
i27 cents. in the same year the av-
crage revenue for ton a mile on the
roads Of the states was but sixty-four
one hundrcdths OF a cent.
Comparing wages and freight rates
on the two systems. we find that. in
order TO earn enough 10 pay an average
employe for one days work. the Prus-
SIAN Hessian roads had 10 haul only
CD tons one mile. while to pay an av-
orage employe for a days work the
American roads had TO haul 500 tons
one mile.

glad IL we could know exactly where

could charge and just what we could

with conditions as they exist I'm each
county and being a great believer in
the possibilities of the upper PENN
sula viii put forth the kind of effort
that viii count in che. way of actual
development.
II is my intention in managing the
affairs of -he bureau TO conduct an
absolutely honest campaign" said
Mr. Quinby i'm an interview The
state geologist, r. c. Allen, informs
me that Of the ten million acres of
undevelopcd land in the upper penin-
sula. over seven million acres are
splendidly adapted TO agriculture This
being true. / know of no other section
of the United States that offers equal
~ attractive opportunities TO settle,
and for TIE investment of capital
and it won't be necessary TO lie ahou;
upper peninsula lands in order TO sell
them.
AS soon as possible It Is my pur-
pose TO get out an advertising book
let. i'm which I shall erdeaver 10 get
as many statements from farmers, set
ting forth what they have actually
done i'm an agricultural way, as pos
sible. There is quite general inn
preston all over tile country that
nothing is or can DC raised i'm the
upper peninsula, and one of my first
efforts will be TO disI5use the minds
of outsiders Of that impression. The
most convincing proof of what can Zee
done i'm upper Michigan is the cold
i.ndisputat lc statements of what
farmers here have actually raised and
prcdlc,G.
since entering the upper peninsula
this week. l have been impressed with
the enthusiasm of the residents for
the development movement and / am
certain more than ever now that il
will be a bigger thing than its pro-
moters realized. None of us know as
yet what the ultimate results OF this
movement may be. but l predict thai
they will he far greater and far more
reaching than anyone anticipates at
this time.
4 find that there is an idea among
many local people that this bureau
has been organized solely for the
benefit Of the large land owners. This
is an entirely erroneous and a very
narrow view TO take Of the PROPOSE
zion. Development agricultufally is
not the only purpose of the bureau 10y
any means. and even if it were, there
is not a merchant or a taxpayer in q
city of the upper peninsula that
would not be benefited by substan-
tiol increase i'm the farming popula-
ton of the district. 1t is easy to DEM
onstrate that one farmer in the vi
cinity Of a city is worth more to the
city than several factory hands, for
ne is both buyer and a seller and
the townsman makes profit both
ways.

There are men whom the London
crowds will cheer more enthusiastic
Ically than they do the German EN-
peror, but there is nobody they will
turn out in greater numbers to see.
ordinarily there must be a pageant
of some sort to attract the Londoner.
During the recent visit of the German
Emperor and Empress and their
daughter, however, they were greeted,
wherever they appeared, by thousands
of spectators, many of whom stood for
hours simply to see the visitors. on
the night of the gala performance
at Drury Lane, which did not con-
clude until half an hour after mid
night, the Strand and other streets
through which the Royal carriages
passed, were lined with people, al
though the carriages were closed and
only the merest glimpse could be
caught of the royal occupants.
While Anglo-German rivalry con-
tinues, the bitterness is disappearing.
largely due to the efforts of the mem
bers of the Royal families and men
of influence in the political and COM
mercial world. The visit of the Ger
man Crown Prince to India and his
whole-hearted expressions of admira
ton of British rule and of the Eng
lishmen he met, had a good effect I'm
helping to overcome the anti-German
prejudice here, a movement which has
been taken a step further by the visit
of the Emperor and his family. The
visit reminded the British public that
the Emperor is closely related to their
own royal family, and his attentions
to the young Prince of Wales, in whom
every Englishman takes a great pride.
were very warmly appreciated. on
the whole, a distinct improvement can
be noticed i'm the feelings of the Brit
sh people toward Germany, even. IL
the governments have not succeeded
in bringing the points of view of the
two foreign offices into harmony on
world politics.
