MARCH RESUME OF
 RAILROAD BUSINESS
THE NET OPERATING REVENUE SHOWS AN INCREASE OF $5o9,- SOY, OVER MARCH, 1911.s

Washington, D. C., May 27.-(Spe cial to The Yuma Examiner). For ninety per cent of the steam railway mileage of the United States the az gregate of the operating revenues for March showed an increase of $12,661,- 901, as compared with March 1911. Operating expenses showed an in crease of $12,152,394, and net operat. ing revenue an increase of $509,5O7.
 This increase in the total of net op- erating revenue was due solely to the larger returns incident to an increase in railway mileage When the returns are measured by the average per mile, the only basis for comparison, the net operating revenue shows de crease. The average was $306 per mile of line for March, 1912, and $309 for March, 1911. This average for 1911 was twelve and eight-tenths per cent less than for March, 1910.
 Railway taxes for March amounted to $9,576,575, of $44 per mile, an in- crease of eight per cent over March, 1911.
 These compilations are made by the Bureau of Railway Economics from re- ports of the railways companies for the month in question that had been filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission prior to May 18th.

4. \. A. ROUTE CALLED
 TRAIL ID SUNSET"
NEW MAP SHOWS TURNS, FORKS, LANDMARKS AND RAILROAD
 CROSSINGS VERY ACCURATELY.

Ninety strip maps are included in the 1912 edition of the A. A. A.
 Trail to Sunset" route just issued by the American Automobile Associa- tion from it's National Touring Blu reau, at 437 Fifth avenue, New York City. The complete route from Chi cago to Los Angeles, including the Santa Fe Trail, and thence to San Francisco, contains all necessary in icy, embracing turns, forks, landmarks md railroad crossings. The first edi- ton of a year ago contained only 65 maps and concluded at Los Angeles.
 In addition to going through to San Francisco, the new addition has two complete routes between Phoenix and Los Angeles, the new one by Yuma, the Imperial Valley, and San Diego. The 1912 book also contains all the corrections noted by A. l.. Westgard, A. A. A. official field representative, on his third trip across last fall. Among the improvements is a short line from Omaha to Kansas City, via the new Plattsmouth bridge, saving about 30 miles, as compared with the route formerly used.
 A new A. A. A. transcontinental map, showing all the practicable routes in their correct geographic re- lation, is nearly ready for publication

CHAIRMAN IF GOOD ROADS BOARD
 ARGUES THROUGH ROADS FIRST
RESOURCES OF REGIONS THROUGH WHICH THEY PASS COURAGE ToURING-RoADs SHOULD BE BUILT UNDER SUPERVISION THUS NsURNG UNIFORMITY EXCELLENCE

Several purposes are served by first
 building through routes between i'm
 portant points or populous centers, one the arousing of public sentiment to the necessity of better roads. An other is the accommodation of the rap i'd and constantly increasing motor traffic, and the consequent advertise ment of the resources of the regions through which they pass. Still an- other is the broadening of the econo- mic feature of our progressive civil ization, in that the people of each section of the country are getter bet ter acquainted with the others.
 A noted newspaper man and writer, (Col. P. Donan, formerly of the Con- federate Army, some years ago stat ed that the Civil War was "latitudi- nal ,controversary." At the same time he stated that the then existing pov- erty, and lack of development for want of capital in sections of the west, was an exemplification of "longitudi- nal ignorance Had the Colonel lived 70 see the present development of the automobiles, and the consequent inter- change of traffic between the differ ent sections of the country he would have hailed it as fOrerunner of the millennium in the United States, when all it's peoples should know and appre
 iate each other.
 Twenty years ago Uncle" Rufus Hatch, a Well street multimillionaire, md veteran western railroad builder, advised his friends and others to ac- Iuire a prairie yacht" in the form )f private car, and take in the beau -ies of this country, instead of annual ly attempting to secure ''tail hold" )n foreign nobility through the "blow- .ng" of good American dollars.
 These two men had an intellectual grasp of conditions which may be look cd upon in the light of prophecy. Both i passed away when motor traffic was in it's very early stages, and before | the touring car, in it's present condi- l ion of usefulness, was thought of.
 Now the legends of "latitudinal con- are becoming forgotten, and the longitudinal ignorance" is becom- ing dispelled through the operation of | yachts" which will not only traverse )raries, but climb mountains, and l

 to the travellers, but to the people of
 the localities through which they pass.
 The touring traffic has great rami-
 fications. Every automobilist, one
 time or another, in whatever section
 of the country he may live, becomes tourist, and the comfort of the tour
 ist depends upon the excellence of the roads. Consequently every motorist
 is a Good Roads advocate. Every other man who possesses reasonable intelligence becomes a Good Roads ad- vocate, as soon as he begins to com pute the cost of the use of roads which are not good.
 The benefits to accrue to the general public from through, or trunk, lines of road, seem to have been first ap- preciated by the thrifty people of the New England States, and they began some years ago, to build roads reach ing to the principal centers of popu- lation and to various summer resorts These roads were built and are now being extended under the direction of the state authorities, and, in wnole or in part, at state expense. They heavy traffic, both To- cal and general and add greatly to the commercial activity of the states through which they pass. Other east ern states are following their exam pie.
 The economic logic of the situation demands that these trans-state and other extended highways be built un- der the supervision of state officials, | and either in whole or in part, at state | expense: als that their maintenance be a matter of state supervision.
 The whole state is benefited by | the advertising which such road gives. The people of the cities, who pay fair share of the state taxes, dT0 dInO1S IHOSc WHO uSS SuCH HdlH lines, and thus get their moneys worth. The business interests of the people of the whole state, the yalua- ion of real property, the welfare Of he citizenship, all are enhanced by he construction of main line roads. If built and maintained under state uniformity of excellence $ achieved, which is one of the chief charms of a good road.

The Wallapai Indians have come to- gether at Kingman for a big pow-wow, the members of the tribe coming here from all parts of the county. It is understood that the purposes of the meeting is to select a place for a big cry that is to be pulled off with in the next month or two, at which Moquis, Navajos, Supais, Chemehue- wis, and maybe other tribes will take part. During the past year many of the Wallapais have died and it is to propitiate the gods that this big cry will be held.

HE LIKED YUMA

An Irishman, who had been living in and around Yuma ever since he can remember anything, was blown up into the air while engaged in blast ing rock on Prison hill. When he came down he was unconscious. A doctor was called, and after several minutes hard work, Pat was brought out of the stuper. He blinked and, turning to a fellow-workman, he ask ed:
 Mike, how long was I up in the air?"
 "Oh, about three or four seconds" !" replied his companion.
 Gee! Ain't that long time to be away from Yuma?"

Thousands of Birds Now Scattered
Throughout Country.
(By w. I. MATTER

Conservation of the fauna including
the game birds Of the United States
requires the strict enforcement Of
laws intended to control the shooting
and marketing of wild birds, and nee
essartly limits both the period during
which they may be hunted and the
number available to supply the in
creasing demands of those who desire
those table luxuries
This lack may be remedied BY the
product of aviaries, preserves, and
private parks, devoted to rearing of
domesticated game, the marketing of
which under suitable safeguards is
already permitted in several OF the
states, indicating that American mar
kets will open more and more to
these domesticated substitutes to the
fast disappearing wild game.
At present there is no lack of de-
mand for pheasants for various pur-
poses. Owners of private preserves,
and state game officials, pay profitable
prices for certain species for stocking
their covers, geological and city parks
and owners Of private aviaries are
ready purchasers Of the rarer and
more beautiful species. and large

found lying dead upon his bed by his
landlady. The day before he accom-
panied Messrs. Henri de Regnier, Vic

poem which he had written in honor
of the anniversary. He left the cafe

said: "Ah, we'll, | would be going to
