RAILROAD ARTICLES
IN SANTA Re FOLDER
Feature of New Publication VIII Be
Appreciated by Travellers.

In order to give the travelling public
an insight into the problems Of trans
portation and railroad service. and to
present certain facts on the efficiency
Of American roads when compared
with lines of Europe, the Atchison, To-
peka 6; Santa Fe railroad folder, issued
on the goth of last May, has depart
ment devoted to such Information. I'm
der the head of Facts for Americans to
Consider" and American Railway Eff
ficiency." short articles are inCorpOrat-
ed into the folder, such as are occa-
sionaliy found in current magazines. In
a part of the folder devoted to this fea-
ture. the following statement appears:
Experienced travellers and shippers
know that while the general trend Of
transportation charges on American
railways has been downward and the
tendency Of operating costs especially
wages) has been upward. there has
been, from year to year, a steady I'm
provement in facilities and increase in
efficiency of operation"
An interesting comparison is made
between United States and Prussian
railways. The writer says:
The most efficient railways Of con-
tinental Europe are those embraced in
the Prussian-H essian system Of Ger
many. The combined area Of Prussia
and Hesse is nearly the same as the
combined area Of the state of New
York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Della
ware and Maryland, and the Prussian-
Hessian railways embrace approxi-
mately the same mileage as is operated
In this group Of states.
The Prussian- Hessian roads have
the advantage Of serving a territory
with an average population Of 279 per
square mile, as compared with 1873 in
the American states. They also have
the advantage of a very much lower
wage scale. In 1907. the average daily
wage paid to their employees was but
&c cents. In the same years the aver
age emplOye below the grade of gen
oral officer Of the roads in the States
mentioned received s217 per day. and
since that year wages on the American
roads have been materially increased
Notwithstanding this very grea. differ
ence in wages, the American roads car
~ more than twice the volume Of
freight per mile Of line at rates that
average just about one-half the aver
age Of the Prussian- Hessian roads. In
1908, the latest year for which Prussian
statistics are available. the average
revenue per ton per mile on the Prus
SIAN Hessian system was I.27 cents. In
the same year the average revenue per
ton per mile on the roads of the states
above referred to was but sixty-four
one hundredths of a cent
comparing wages and freight rates
on the two systems. we find that in
order to earn enough to nav ar aver
age employee for one DAYS work tho
russian Hessian had to haul only
siAty-three tons one mile. while to paw
an average employe for a days work.
Arizona republican. [volume] (Phoenix, Ariz.) 1890-1930, 1911-06-13

the American roads had to haul 339
tons one mile
The American roads are able to per
form their services at one-half the
Prussian rates while paying an aver
age Of nearly three times as high
wages"
The following paragraphs. selected
from a lecture delivered at Harvard
university. April 20, 1911. by Mr.. julius
Kruttschntt, director Of maintenance
and operation Of the Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific companies, are in
serted:
Efficiency from the standpoint of
the railway manager often is not the
same thing as efficiency from the
standpoint of the public 1t is often
not practicable to move freight with
the maximum speed and regularity. and
at the same time hold cars and engines
at terminals until the maximum car
load and the maximum train load have
been obtained II would be easily
possible for the railways to haul a
much larger average load of mail per
mail car, but under regulations of the
postal department, postal cars are lin
lted to a carrying capacity Of only
about three tons, whereas express cars
can easily be loaded to the roof with
twenty to thirty tons of express. Again.
in the passenger service, the reason
why the railways on the average haul
only fifty-four passengers per train
when the average train has a Capacitv
Of at least $50 passengers, is that the
public demands. and properly. that it
be given frequent and regular service
and frequent and regular service is in
compatible with the maximum loading
of trains. Now, when the public insists
on kind Of transportation which is
Incompatible with the most economical
operation, no one can justly criticise
the railway managers for complying
with the public's demands and for that
reason failing to operate the properties
with the maximum possible economy.
DO you fully appreciate what the
present average rates of 1872 cents per
passenger and Of O.76 cents per ton mile
means? The former is a little less
than the value of a two-cent postage
stamp, yet for the cost of this small
stamp. the railway transports a passen-
ger and his luggage one mile. and in
addition. $500 pounds of vehicle to seat
him, $50 pounds Of vehicle for his lug
gage. and 1000 pounds of sleeping.

creasing his comfort For the same
tiny stamp the railway carries two
and three-quarter tons of freight one

The shooting followed a fight in
the bunkhouse, in which Larsen pum-
meled Patterson, aged 65. They were
separated by the camp cook, and when
Larsen attempted to renew the attack
Patterson shot him.
Patterson admits that he has a pris-
on record, having been senenced 16
years ago to serve seven years in the
penitentiary for shooting William
Farrell. a Marble creek rancher, but
was pardoned after 10 months i'm
prisonment. He has a wife and four
daughters at 7101 Indiana avenue,
Coeur d'Alene. He was working for
the lumber company to get enough
money to send his oldest daughter to
the Lewiston state normal school.

with the Nez Perce commissioners to
keep Patterson in the jail here until

the depot grounds.
Other Suggestions.
In commenting upon the Roundup
park Mr.. Weed declared that tract to
have great possibilities for a land
scape gardener. By the proper plant
ing of trees and shrubbery he held
that the tract recently purchased by
the Roundup management could be
made place Of beauty as we'll as a
good Roundup grounds and athletic
stadium
The levee should be converted into
a promenade for the accommodation
of the people. 1t would be imprac-
ticable to make a driveway of the le-
wee for the reason that it is not of
sufficient width, but the speaker de-
clared that at but slight expense the
levee could be made into a beautiful
walk. He also suggested that by the
planting of proper shrubbery rock
garden could be created.
North Side Cemetery.
Applause burst forth from the au-
dience when the lecturer took up the
subject of improving the old north
side cemetery. He advised that the
tract be converted into a park and
suggested that the graves be removed
and that a suitable monument be err
ected there in honor of the pioneers
who have been buried on the spot in
days gone by.
In discussing Olney cemetery Mr..
Weed advised against the erection of
fences or concrete work about the
graves. Such work makes an elab-
crate and expensive cemetery but not
q beautiful place.
Private Homes.
The subject of improving the pri-
vate homes of the city was also dis
| cussed by the speaker and while he
praised the city for certain features
he commented critically upon the
failure of people to observe some of
hthe principles of landscape garden
| ing. Too many householders, he as
| serted, spoil their lawns by the pro-
miscus planting of trees and shrub
berry. All shrubbery should be mass
ed along the borders of the lawns or
| by the house foundations. BY this
! course the lawns are made to appear
Expansive and more beautiful.
