Railroad DEVELOPMENT.

The statistics compiled from official
sources and published in the Railway
Age Gazette in it's issue of December
| % shows that one has to go back for
Is years. namely, to 1897, TO find a
year in which as small a railroad mill
cage was built as in 1872, and one has
to so back six years, namely to 1906,
to find a year in which as large a
number of freight cars were ordered.
The marked increase in activity along
Industrial lines during the last part
of 1912 is shown by the fact that be-
tween two and three times as many
freight cars were actually built in
1912 as in 1911, and third more To-
comotives were actually built in 1912
than in 1911.
The official figures compiled by the
Railway Age Gazette for the number
Iof railroad receiverships, the number
of railroad foreclosure sales and the
amount of block signal mileage, all
give indications of the same condi-
tions that are illustrated by the extra
ordinary small amount of new rail-
to go into new railroad enterprises
and that the prosperity Of the last
half of 1912 is taxing existing railroad
facilities heavily.
notwithstanding the fact that 1911
was considered a very unsatisfactory
year for railroad building, there WAS
1906 miles of new track built in 1911,
while in 1912 there was only 1897 miles
built. The 2, 997 miles built in 1912 was
built in Al states, no new mileage at
all being built in Alaska or five
states. The largest mileage was built
in North Dakota, in which state 347
miles of first track was built. with
Texas second, in which 336 miles was
built.
The figures discussed in this article
may in my opinion fairly be accepted
as the preliminary indications of a
changing financial situation. The hea-
Wy crops and the recurring talk of car
shortages strengthen the force of this
prediction. One should, however, re-
frain from too great optimism thus
early in the period of recovery. for
even though gross earnings continue
to increase, an increasing proportion
must be absorbed into expenses to
compensate for the severe economies
that many of the roads have been
practicing for the past two years. Yet
that the figures of net operating rev.
enue per mile will in the absence of
unforeseen and disturbing causes, show
an increase during the calendar year
1913, over those of 1912, seems more
than probable

A Happier New Year?
The brilliant young journalist who

in the pudding sauce-or was it the
entire lack of brandy? We don's

something didn't set well on the lit
tie editorial tummy.
And our prediction is well founded,
for we have long noticed that when

one who opposes the rum trust. He
objects, seriously at times, to any
such opposition. He takes it to heart
when booze trust statements are re-
futed and its sophistries analysed and

lack of Christmas cheer which we
have caused in the Wall Office. We

From the Charges of Obadiah Gardner-=fiis
Letters to Gardner and the Public
Should Be Read by Every
Patron.

I Grange Senator Gardner stated that II
the Patrons of this state would contrib
ute $1,000 a parcels post act was assured.
! Immediately the oranges, by collections
and entertainments, began to raise and
forward the money.
1.-TWO or three months later we are in
formed from the same source that this
measure which we have been working
for for years is all wrong, and that pos
get anything else it would be. a lemon.
Some of the patrons are asking What
has become of our money sent to aid the
cause of the parcels post?'
BY the way, this lemon that the
senator speaks of seemed to be great
ly enjoyed, and the subject of much
congratulate ton at the recent meeting.
No implication of Senator Gardner
was intended by myself in writing the
letter. | was prompted To do SO after
receiving a circular letter sent out by
him in which he claimed support of
the Patrons of the State, and it was
written TO defame no one, but for in
formation.
/ believe if the senator had been as
honest and fair minded as he claims
to be he would have taken up the
questions at that times and made re-
ply.
Now, is a man to be called an out
rageoUs liar for asking for an ac-
counting of a public fund which he
has helped to raise?
There were patrons who contribut-
ed to this parcels post fund who
would not support such radical
measure as postal express at this
time, and were interested to know if
this money was used to support par

No gentleman or honorable man
would call another liar at public
meeting especially of a fraternal ma
ture, in the others absence, even if he
had positive proof to that effect. |
challenge Senator Gardner to cite one
statement in said letter which can
be called a falSehood.
When a man comes out as Senator
Gardner did in his open letter of Aug.
% to the farmers of Maine and under
the clause of reciprocity states al OPP
posed reciprocity with Canada, etc.,"
when only a few months before we
have his letter stating 81 am an
avowed exponent of reciprocity with
Canada, etc." and giving reasons in
each statement.
And again, when he goes before a
State Grange and misquotes part of
an audience as he did before the
Maine letter of a patron in vindiea
ton of himself / would ask him what
he did with his delicate sense of per.
sonal integrity?
1t must have been very trying TO
that same sense of integrity to have
held back an expression of his con-
demnation of myself for nearly four
months and is it to be wondered at
that he warmed up to the subject"
as one of the reporters puts it, when
this great volume of four months
suppressed indignation found vent?
