RUSSIA'S NEED OF RAILROADS
The Dura Considers Bill to Allow
Private Lines to Be Built In
the. Empire.

The Russian government has intro
duced bill in the duma permitting
railways to be built by private COM
panies. 1t states that in Russia the
railroad mileage is only one-tenth that
of America and one-ffth that of west
ern Europe. The supporters of the
proposition claim that the increase of
the Russian network of railroads is
absolutely necessary for the further
development of the productive forces
OF the country. The government on
its own account cannot, 1t Is stated,
increase its railroad building program,
owing to a large number of unavoid
able expenditures, hence 1t finds it
necessary to grant concessions for
private railway construction
To private railroads of Importance
and significance the issuance of gov
ernment guarantees will be permitted,
the administration accepting the cap
ital Of shareholders not exceeding 3
per cent These private railroad com
panies will receive remuneration for
the outlays made on preliminary rail-
way surveys and determination of d.
rections and locations from the cap
ital stock. The time limit for the
purchase Of private line by the i'm
perial government is twenty-five years.

DINE AT RAILROADS. EXPENSE
Thrifty Frenchmen Have What Might
Well Be Termed "Good
Thing"

On the state managed Western rail-
road Of France there is one class OF
passengers from whom the line should
get nothing but praise. Only they are
very chary about praising too loudly.
1t is this way.
AS the advertised time of arrival
can never be depended upon, passen-
gers who have to change cars miss
very often the connecting train, and
if this happens about lunch or dinner
time their meal is paid for by the
railroad administration and they have
only to go to the station buffet or the
nearest hotel and send the bill to the
chief officers of the line in Paris.
This is beginning to get known in
the country districts, and the artful
and thrifty Normandy peasant, when
he Is not over busy, buys cheap
third class ticket for a short distance
involving a change of trains and so
gets an excellent lunch at the ex-
pense of the Ouest-Etat If the delay
at the intermediate station Is too pro-
longed it is only necessary to make
little disturbance and the adm1n1stra-
ton will provide horses and carriages
to take the place of the train.
These little entertainments, it is
said, cost the Western line hundreds
of dollars a week.
