WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-C. A.
Prouty formerly Interstate Commerce
Commissioner, who has charge OF me
Commissions task of making physi-
cal valuation of all the railroads OF
the country, giving the first authorita-
tive outline OF the gigantic job under
taken by the Commission, estimates
that II may be Ave or six years before
the work is completed. and that 1t
may cost the United States Govern
ment as much as $12,000.000.
1T should be possible" said Mr..
Prouty for the people to know upon
the completion OF this work what 1t
would cost to rebuild It's railroads new
and to what extent these properties
have deprecated as compared TO
new"
Mr.. Prouty said that the country
ought TO realize the fact at once that
the physical valuation of railways In
wolves something more than deter
mining the cost of reproduction with
out depreciation.
81 am not saying" he added, that It
may not finally come to pass that the
cost OF reproduction will be the con-
trolling factor: many people so IN
sist Others urge with equal earnest
ness that the true test of value, so Tar
as it can be ascertained, is the money
no opinion upon any OF these PROPOSE
tions. / simply call your attention to
the fact that the Commission is re-
uulred not merely to ascertain the
cost OF production, but to state the
value OF the property, and that in at
tempting to do so many delicate and
difficult questions may be encoun-
tered"
Mr.. Prouty cited as an instance the
San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake
r ,ilroad which the Commission mas
already undertaken to survey in its
physical valuation inquiry. Most OF
this road has been built in compara-
tiyely recent times, and the eircum-
stances and cost of construction are
fairly we'll known.
Mr.. Prouty points out that certain
section of It was located when origl-
nally built where no man thought II
ever could be disturbed by floods Yet
shortly after ii was opened Hoods
came and carried out this portion. it
was at once reconstructed upon
new location supposed to be safe, but
there was a recurrence of the disaster,
and hnaNy 1t was built upon third
location. Mr. Prouty assumes that
the people who we're interested in Its
construction were rea sonablS prudent.
as prudent as the Government Itself
would have been.
at has cost a large sum. more to
rebuild this road" said Fr. Prouty,
than II would have originally cost 10
construct it where it is to-day. Now,
in determining the value of this prop
erty what, If any, allowance is to be
made for this experimental outlay?

The existence or a larger suppiy a.

effects of discouraging many pro.

Weevil Is Whipped
Before It Crosses
Georgia Boundary
State Chamber Of Commerce Sends
Thousands of Pieces of Mall
Telling Remedy.

The Mexican boil weevil. that once
nearly bankrupted Texas. Louisiana
and Mississippi, is practically
whipped so far as Georgia is COM
cerned, before it puts leg over the
frontier Practically, not wholly. For
to be effective the work begun must
be continued. And money Is the
sinews of war.
1t is very largely the Georgia
Chamber of Commerce that has done
the work. 1t has gone down into
Southwest Georgia, where the pest
will make it's first appearance, and
for months 1t has taken the news of
the approaching invasion. with the
sure means to fight the invasion, to
every man, woman and child in 23
counties.
The State Chamber has issued from
its headquarters In Atlanta a con-
densed statement of what it has al
ready accomplished in its campaign
against the weevil.
Here are some of the remarkable
figures included in the statement:
$4,000 pieces of literature sent out;
1.100 school teachers sent personal
letters; 200 preachers also reached
personally; 5000 small merchants and
storekeepers sent letters, literature
and posters; 1000 billboards through
out the territory placarded with six
by eight feet posters; hundreds of col
umns of literature furnished to the
daily and weekly press of the terri
tory from the chambers headquar-
ters in Atlanta, and canvassers, with
horses and buggies, sent out among
the farmers.

Pre-Holiday Covering
Holds Cotton Steady
Absence of Speculation in New York
Restricts Business-CabIes and
Spots Very Firm.

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 21.-Infiuenced
by better Liverpool cables than due and
covering by shorts over the triple holi-
day, the cotton market opened steady
to-day, with first prices at a net ad-
vance of 2 to 8 points from last nights
close. Otherwise there was no feature,
and after the early range had been
sharply from the early high, in the alb
sence of speculation in the New York
Exchange, out of respect of the late
George W. Neville, former president of
the exchange, whose funeral was held
to-day.
The market was dead after the first
hour. outside business being almost
wholly lacking. Little cotton was of
fered and shorts had to bid for what
they wanted, this bringing about rally
in the closing hour.
While the feeling in local cotton cir
cles favor a further advance, based on
the firmness of the Southern spot mar
kets, there are those who believe cot
ton is in debatable ground, with condi-
tions favoring decline. However, II is
argued that figures must advance. 1t is
also pointed out that Liverpool is far
above parity with New York futures and
that>is advanced as another reason fol
expectation that the Northern market
should rally. which would bring about
further upturn here.
At the close the market was steady
with prices at a net advance Of to
points from the final quotations of Fri
day.

Wheat Bulls Look
To Argentine for Aid
Australian Shipments Deny Japanese
Absorption of Their Crop-corp
Market Uncertain.

CHICAGO, Feb. 21-Quietly but
persistently' the exporters at the sea-
board are absorbing wheat. Whether
this interest is taking grain because
they were owners of freight room for
this month or early next month is not
known. There is still considerable
wheat in a position in the South
west for export, and as it is the kind
wanted by the importing countries
it is safe to predict that 1t will be
absorbed sooner or later.
The larger shipments of wheat by
Australia last week show that the
stories in circulation that Japan had
absorbed liberal portion of their
surplus were incorrect. India, how
ever, sent out no wheat last week
The bulls in wheat are now giving
the Argentine situation much at
tention.
The corn market at the moment is
on debatable ground.

ROOSEVELT'S RETURN CREATES
STIR AMONG PEOGRESSlVES

New York, June 24.-The homecom,
ing today Of Theodore Roosevelt
caused almost as much of a stir
among Progressive leaders and
friends of the former President as
did his return on May 19 from South
America. Today as last month Col.
Roosevelts opinions on political ques'
tions drew Progressive leaders to
this city and for some time the Roose'
welt home at Oyster Bay will be the
scene of many conferences.
From the Imperator have come wire
less messages that Colonel Roosevelt
had spent much of his time since
the big liner sailed working on the
speech he will deliver on June 80 at
Pittsburg. The eX-President has been
under the care of DR.. Bossius, the
ships physician, and appears to have
recovered entirely from the attacks
of fever which had given his friends
much concern.
On account of fogs the Imperator
will not reach quarantine until to-
night. Colonel Roosevelt planned to
leave the ship at quarantine and go
direct to Oyster Bay on board
yacht.

PRESENT SCHEDULE
A. B. & A. REQUESTS PERMISSION
TO TAKE OFF TWO OF THE
"SHORT TRAINS

A meeting of considerable interest
to the people of this city was held
at the board of trade yesterday to
hear request from the A. B. & A.
Railroad that they be permitted to
remove two of the present passen-
ger trains In the unswick-Thalmann
service.
The members OF the Transporta-
t1on committee of the board, several
of the directors and few of the
members were present. General Pas
senger Agent w. w. Croxton of the
A. B. & A. was present and stated
the position of his company, in a
very brief, yet very impressive fash
ion. The fact of the matter is that
the short line service of the company
into Brunswick is a losing PROPOSE
ton and the line is now maintaining
eight passenger trains per day into
and out of this city. The manage
ment figures out that the withdrawal
of trains and 10, leaving Brunswick
at 915 in the evening and returning
at 11:15 will work less hardship on
the travelling public and the city gen
orally than would be the case with
any Of the other trains and on the
ground of economy, etc, that request
is being made Of the city.
The matter was discussed In a thor
oughly informal manner and it was
finally agreed to call a meeting Of the
full board of trade at the city hall
at II o'clock Friday morning to take
the subject up for final answer. At
the meeting yesterday, the general
impression among those present was
that the request of the company, un-
der the circumstances, was not an
unusual one and that it should be
granted.
Mr.. CroXton left for Douglas yester-
day afternoon, but he will return 20
the city for the meeting Friday
