WASHINGTON, March 14-With
the opening of spring, what promises
to be the greatest railroad develop.
ment ever witnessed in a given time
has been mapped out for western Can
ada, according to official reports re.
ceived here from American consuls.
The railroads of western Canada plan
to expend over $1OO,OOO,OOO in an eff.
fort to relieve the freight congestion
now blockading traffic through the
Dominion. Even with the expendi-
ture of this vast sum, it is freely pre-
dicted that the situation will be only
partially relieved on account of the
rapid development of the coal and
grain regions. Canada's railroad needs
present the most convincing proof of
the steady and wonderful advance of
that country.
One OF the greatest improvements
will be an immense coal-handling plant
at Fort William, a 25.OOO-ton freight
shed and a new dock for lake ship
ments. The present coal handling
plant at Fort William was designed
to take care of the trade for twenty
FIVE years hence, but is now woefully
inadequate. From Fort William west
doubietracking will be rushed as fast
as steel can be laid. A new terminal
will be built at Coquitlam, b. c., a
new station. new wharves and an
overhead bridge at Vancouver.

Things are moving toward the

San Francisco Call, March 16. -
Frank S. Cairns, first assistant to w,
Morgan Shuster in that young Ameri-
cans regime as financial minister OF
Persia, who later succeeded to the OF
fee of Encouragement Of the nation
after Shuster had fled from Teheran
arrived in San Francisco yesterday on
q visit to his wife and son. He is
through with Persia forever, he says,
and is now en- route to the Philip
pines to resume his post as collector
of customs at the island port of llo-
lilo.
Ten months he was in the Persian
capital with Shuster, quartered in a
magnificent stone pile of palace and
in complete charge of the taxation
system of the country His story of
the intrigues and plots that threaten
ed them daily, and of their final down
fall when Russia and England found
the Americans were gaining too much
power, reads like romantic novel OF
adventure, the scene of which is laid
in an impossible country and in an
impossible century. But, according
to Cairns, anything can happen in
Persia.
Along with Shuster and several
others, Cairns was recommended by
President Taft in response to the APP
peal Of the Persian government for a
few Americans to come over and
straighten out the financial system of
! the nation. They reached Teheran in
April of last year and commenced
work.
Telling the remarkable story OF
their administration, Cairns said:
"The country was and is in an
anarchistic condition. The population
is composed Of lawless tribes under
powerful chiefs, who rule them like
the feudal barons ruled in Europe
1000 years ago. Corruption existed
everywhere It is their national attri'
butte.

the commander-in-chief of the Roose-

The Senator from Montana still re-
tains the cocksure attitude of a sea-
soned campaign manager, but he
makes his assertions with less show
of confidence than when he first took
charge of the headquarters.
His optimism today seemed to CEN

most a unit in saying that Taft will
sweep the state at the popular pri.

President Taft is making gains IN
sections of the country where they
were least expected. For example, lie

In South Dakota the Roosevelt
cause has appeared so weak that the
Roosevelt managers within the last

contest and left the field to Senator
La Toilette and President Taft. In
North Dakota, too, the outlook is un-
favorable for Roosevelt. Senator
Gronna went to North Dakota a few
days ago and will personally lead the
La Toilette fight. The issue is the
activity of the International Harves

not prosecuting the harvester trust

The activity of Georgt w. Perkins

MAN WHO WAS TREASURER

Sinister was encouragement and

arrived Russia and England, who
control the cabinet to man, gave US
a grudging recognition. I guess they
thought We couldn't do any good.
"Shuster started in to do things,
and he had wonderful success. The
Russian minister became jealous, and
so did the British ambassador. We
we're doing too much good, and they
saw it was only a question of time
before We would put Persia on her
feet. That didn't suit Russia and it
didn't suit England, for they wanted
Persia for an easy prey.
well, they have her. First they
tried to get the parliament to throw
us out, but the parliament wouldn't
act against us. Then they made the
cabinet abolish parliament. That was
early in January.
Feeling was running high, and for
more than a month Shuster and
had an armed bodyguard of $50 men.
The Nihilists were after us, hoping to
draw the American government into
controversy and possibly into war
with Russia, because our state depart
ment had notified st. Petersburg that
we were to be protected, 1t was a
nasty situation.

it was only the work Of an hour to

Some business men fear that all

confusion The fact is recalled, how
ever that Premier Asquith in recon-
mending a minimum wage in the coal

Industries, and therefore occupied a
unique position from the point OF view
of the state.

DR.. DIESEL, maker of the DIESEL en-
CINE, lecturing before the Institute OF

"Oil, both mineral and vegetable"
he said, will be used more and more.
England will continue to live by it's
coal, but in the form OF gas, coke and
oil, and the last will be used in driv-
ing engines to generate electricity in

coal being wasted, as now, every

opportunity to allow the people TO

Fresh trouble has been started for
the Roosevelt managers in Wisconsin.
Senator La Toilette has persistently
refused to allow the delegates who
