ARIZONA EXHIBIT
 AT SAN DIEGO

J q through her commission to the San Diego exposition. has select ed her site and if the reconmen- dations of the commission are carried out Will expend $55O,OOO on her exhibit.
 The commission visited the site ot the exposition and examin- ing the plans and grounds, select ed two and a half acres on the most prominent part of the sec tion allotted to states. This site IS to be covered with lawns and trees and III the center will be the Arlzora building, structure that Is to cost at least $75,OOO. Arizona has always been liberal m her particpations at exposi- tlons, but on this occasion argues that no other state is in position to derive as much benefit from the San Diego exposition as is Arizona, owing to hercontiguous situation her resources and her opportunities. The exposition is to appeal to those interested in i'll reclamation, conservation, fOrestation and the attraction of immigration. These four things coupled with mining in- dustry, Arizona is gi> ing the greatest attention. For this reason the commission holds that she must make an extra effort and that her section in San Diego must be the most ex- tensive of any statein the union, she being a large part of the Southwest, a part et the terri tory of San Diego and the state having the greatest undeveloped oppor tunities.
 Work on the section devoted to the Southern counties of Cal lfornia is progressing satisfact orily. Flowing and grading is going on and the plantation Is to start just as soon as Com missioner Wilson, of the south ern counties board can get at 1t. The engineering force of the eX- position is working on plans md specifications for the build ing, which will cost nearly $1OO, 900.
 Otter work going on at the exposition site includes grading for the main east entrance, tor the main prado, finishing ot >ervlce buildings and emergency held hospital, propagation at huge nursery, where are now over $3OO,O0O worth of rare plants, ferns and trees, and en- gineering work for the great bridge. Plans tor the California building are also being prepared. This structure will cost about $5OO,OO0 if present plans are carried out.

MOTORS DON'T HURT RAILROADS
Union Pacific General Freight Agent
Denies Auto CRY,

Chicago, Nov. Isl. A. Monroe, general
freight agent of the Union Pacific, de-
clares the cry that the automobile is in
juring the railroad by cutting into the pas
sengor traffic is far from the point. Mr..
Monroe says:
Everything that makes it more con-
venient for the people is for the general
good, in which the railroads must inevI,-
ably. share. I have thought over this
subject of automobiles very carefully. 1t
seems to me there are four factors in oar
modern life contributing to the general
convenience more than any other. These
are the automobile, the electric light, the
telephone and the bath tub. These factors
mean that the advantages of the city have
been transferred to the country. That
means the development of the country to
a degree heretofore unimagined.
Automobiles mean good roads Good
roads mean that the farmer can get his
produce to market from sections hereto
fore unavailable. The telephone mears
that in Nebraska and Kansas the farmer
is no longer dependent upon Liverpool
prices for wheat. The more such factors
We have for the development of our coun-
try the better off the railroads are, d-A-
spite any trifling loss we may suffer in
local passenger traffic on Saturdays and
Sundays because people use their own cars
for short excursions.

The milling industry of Kansas is
the subject of a paper included in the
collections of the State Historical So
ciety for 1911-12. There are two
hundred and fifty-five mills in the
state engaged in flour producing. Ac-
cording to the figures, Topeka is sec
ond in the state in point of volume
of production, Kansas City, Kan, be-
ing first. Topeka has an average
daily capacity of $3.50 barrels.
In the northern part of Shawnee
county there is large amount of horse
radish grown, says the Merchants
Journal. This crop has just been har-
vested. The farmers raise three or
four tons to tn acre, and it sells for
$50 per ton. This makes a yield of
$240 per acre, and the cost of care is
not very large. Horseradish promises
to be one of the most popular crops
in the north part of the county.

its conclusions were so involved and
numerous that they cannot be sum
married. The Investigations regard
ing the compensation to capital, the
intercorporate relations of the rail-
roads, their present earnings, their fu-
t1re possible earnings, and other fac
tors. were so complex that the board
was, unable to arrive at conclusion
regarding the ability of the roads to
pay an increased compensation.
1t was determined, however, that a
reasonable wage should be paid. Dis
regarding, therefore, the claim of the
railroads that they We're unable to
bear an increase, the board agreed to
the nrinciple that the engineers should
be paid fair wage.
In determining the basis of fair
wage, the board took the point of view
that the existing facts regarding the
relation of wages Of engineers to those
of other classes of employees in the
train service in the eastern district and
in other parts of the country should be
the guiding principle. The boards dis
cussion of facts in this connection led
it to the conclusion that general in
crease of wages on all roads was not
warranted upon the basis of the evil
dence presented.
1t was concluded by the board. how
ever, that on some roads and for GER
tain classes of service. the compensa-
ton was too small; and therefore the
board introduced into the award the
principle of a minimum wage for the
entire district in question.
The board states as it's belief that
the engineers should be granted a fair
compensation. 1t further states it tic
be probable that the great majority of
the railroads in the district consider
ed are able to pay a fair compensa-
ton. If they are not able to pay such
compensation with existing rates, the
report says, there is just cause for
them to open again the question of an
increase of rates with the interstate
commerce commission.

FREIGHT TRAINS FAST ENOUGH
President of Burlington Says Speed Is
Dangerous.

Regarding the appeal or suggestion
of the interstate commerce commission
that the railroads operate freight trains
faster, as a means of preventing car
shortages or famines. Darius Miller,
president of the Burlington, said:
Figures worked out today from the
records of our car accountants office
showed that in October the averag e
movement of freight cars upon the
system was 35.6 miles per day. In Sep
TENDER last the movement was 1871
miles per day. These are remarka bly,
high averages, especially at this period
of the year, when so much is heard
of congestion and car shortage.
1T is interesting to have some sort
of standard to measure results by, and
in view of the appeal lately made by
the interstate commerce commission
for an average movement of more than
25 miles per car per day, our figure
for october of 1916 miles per day speaks
for itself. Expressed in percentage, the
performance of the Burlington in NOV
ing its freight business in October last,
was 42.4 per cent above the figures
mentioned by the commission, but this
result was not and could not have been
produced by unwise efforts to increase
the speed of freight trains. The com
mission, in my Judgment, is wrong In
urging any such action because to fol-
low its suggestion would merely mean
waste and more instead of less delay
in movement

LOWER BAGGAGE RATE IN EAST
TranscontinentaI Passenger Men Re-
wise Rules

Chicago, Nov. 25.-Travelers on railroads
operating eastward from Chicago will en-
joy a lower excess baggage rate if a
proposition to come before the Transcon-
tinental Passenger association at it's meet
ing in Chicago on Dec. carries. PasseI-
ger officials of the railroads will consider
a recommendation that, effective JAN !,
excess baggage rates via the differential
lines between points in Central Passenger
and Trunk Line association territories
comprising the region between Chicago
and Atlantic coast, be computed on a
class oneway fare per 100 pounds ac-
cording to the route of the ticket.
Heretofore the practice has been to base
the excess baggage rate via the differential
lines on the fares of the standard lines
Discontinuance of this practice resulting
basis of the lower differential rate would
effect reduction in the excess baggage
rate
Many other important topics will cone
before the Chicago meeting, as shown by
the docket of subjects which has Just been
ventions on the Pacific coast during the
season of 1913. summer tourist fares TT
the Pacific coast for next year, conVen-
ton and summer tourist fares eastbound

fares for movement of special car, deliv-
cry of cash with ticket deliveries and The
transportation of racing automobiles and
aeroplanes used in giving public exhibit
tons under the theatrical baggage tariffs.
A number of rate division questions on
immigrant, colonist, homeseekers and
around-the-world business also will be
