RAIN ON HE DESERT.

Friday a slight sprinkle occurred in Mesa and immediate vicinity, but not enough to more than frighten the men who had hay on the ground. At Superstitution mountain and for sev- eral miles this side quite a heavy rainfall occurred also, there was q strip about a mile wide this side of Buchanan's where the desert was GOV cred with water. For time the weather was quite threatening at Mesa, but, fortunately for those who had hay and grain down, passed be- yond the cultivated area.

None too soon a popular movement has been set on foot in Australia to preserve the gigantic stringybarIs, various species of eucalyptus of that country, which far exceed in height the famous "big trees" of California, and are the tallest trees in the world.

Advertising the Northwest.

SEATTLE-Of the many effective
and novel exhibits to attract the at
tention of homeseekers at the Chicago
Land Show just closed one was more
popular than that of the Oregon
Washington Railroad & Navigation
Company. By the aid of motion
pictures and lecturers, life in the
Pacific Northwest was demonstrated
in concrete manner. More than
hundred thousand people visited the
Oregon Washington S exhibit and re-
ceived authentic information about
what this section of the country offers.
This form of advertising is rather
expensive; but it gets results. People
will not readily forget the moving
pictures of farm and urban life in
Western Washington and Oregon as
shown by these films. They are
bound to stimulate interest in this
section. AS foilow-up the Oregon

if the roads we're good and that this
excess of cost is entirely wasted, a

States and communities have en-

proved roads have been constructed
throughout the country. about 10 per
cent of the little more than 1000, 600

have resulted in the enhancement of
land values, in more intensified farm

localities where they have been con-
structed.

Federal Aid for Good Roads.

American Automobile Association,
which was held at the New Willard
Hotel, Washington, January 10 and
II, by far was the most comprehensive
National gathering of road enthusi-
asts and road workers ever held in
the United States.
The principle and specific work OF
the convention was given to the
thorough discussion of government
participation in road building, and to
the effort to settle upon some definite
plan which shall be satisfactory to
the thousands who now believe in the
principle of Federal cooperation in
highway work.
There must be consideration of the
fact that some thirty measures have
been introduced in the present Con-
gress providing for appropriations for
road purposes under various plans
and that in all probability consider
able number of additional bills will
be presented. These measures all
possess points of excellence. and all
recognize the propriety of Federal
action on the subject.
With the general public in a large
majority of the States favoring Federal
aid in building highways, and with a
probable majority OF the members of
both the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives inclined to carry out the
wishes of their constituents and their
own ideas at the same time, the only
question would seem to be that of
working out measure which shall be
just to every section of the country,
and so command the support of all
fair minded men.
The people of the United States
have never baked at progress. When
the welfare of the Nation, in its
material development, required trans
continental railways. property now
valued at more than seven billions of
dollars was donated by the Govern
ment. These donations made possible
the development of an empire so
magnificent in its vastness, and in its
powers of production that the most
glorious history of previous civiliza-
ton falls into insignificance in COM
parison.
The Federal aid thus given was the
result of wise craftsmanship in Con-
gress, backed by the wisdom of the
people of the country. The object
for which it was given has been
achieved. American civilization has
cultivated the prairies, reduced the
woodlands harnessed the streams and
dug into the mountains, all in the
pursuit of the wealth that has re-
sponded so bountifully.
But there are definite stages in pro-
gression. Another stage was reached
when the utility OF the automobile
was demonstrated. in addition to the
ornamental and pleasurable functions
which we're earlier developed. 1t was
seen that the motor Car widened the
horizon of mans usefulness, made it
possible to achieve more commercial
ly, professionally, or in the pursuit
of pleasure, than had been possible
heretofore. 1t was also found that
the most profitable use of the me-
chanical vehicle required a better

RAILWAY WAGES AND
RAILWAY EARNINGS

There were substantial incre asses in
the wages of railway employees dur
ing the fiscal year 1911. Reports filed
with the Interstate Commerce COM
mission show that the total compen-
sation to the employees of railways
over 500 miles long was $1,O0527, 24O.
The total wage cost to the railways
for the year was greater by Sal, 1868, 800
than it would have been at the rates
of pay in effect during 1910, and great
err by 1855, 297, 67S than it would have
been at the rates of pay in effect dur
ing 1909.
Notwithstanding an increase of
2, 108 in the miles of railway operated
there were fewer employees on the
payrolls June 30, 1911, than on June
80, 1910, by 31,037, yet the total COM
pensation paid to employees during
1911 was greater than that paid during
1910 by $49,976, 216. This is greater
than the increase in the gross earnings
of the railways by S22,595,i2l. The
net revenues of the railways which
are what is left after paying operating
expenses, fell off by $40, 989, $50 during
this same period in which compensa-
ton increased nearly fifty million
dollars.
These figures are summarized from
bulletin No IS of the bureau of rail-.
way economics, which is based on
official reports made by the railways
to The Interstate Commerce Commiss-
ion, and which exhibits in detail
comparison of the aggregate compen-
sation to different classes of employ
ees, the number of employees of differ.
ent classes, and the relation to rail-
way traffic for the fiscal years 1909,
1910, and 1911.
The summary of revenues and ex-
penses of the steam railways over fifty
miles in length for the month of De-
cember, just issued by this bureau,
shows that for the calendar year 1911
the total operating revenues were less
than for the calendar year 1910 by
S27, 69s, 1850 aud the net revenues less
by 81, 1867 4.
