BILE of St Paul, general passenger

his first official visit. While here he
said:
Business is generally good in the
passenger department, showing in
creases over last year. OF course, it
is quiet in some spots, but the good
crops of 1911 gave the farmers lit
tie extra money. Many inquiries are
being received from persons inteest-
ed in Washington, Oegon, Idaho and
Montana.
"The indications are for a heavier
colonst travel this spring. This
probably is due to the crops of 1911
and to the advertising through the
western governors special train
which traversed all over the east. The
land shows also greatly exploited the
country.

suits of such policy, find itself guilty
OF serious negligence. The alternative
OF such a delay Is unframed direction
with the subsequent possibility of Sc
rious accidents and mistakes which
will alarm the shipping OF the world

'If Congress wants to avoid all prob-

to the prestige OF the United States. 1t
should Immediately authorize Colonel
Goethais to get ready for the completed

Goethals and his stan, who are on the

plainly said to me and others, l would
not be surprised to see Colonel Goethals
