Particular significance attaches to
the find because of its location near
rocks on the Ford Hodgman County
line. There in 1865 seven men from

First TranscontinentaI r. r.
NOW

Today there are nine railroad
lines in America known az
transcontinental. The latest is
the Grand Trunk Pacific Of Can
ada, known as The Farthest
North Line" which is nearly
completed. Without counting the
eastern connections. the lines
now operating through TO the
Pacific coast have an aggregate
mainline trackage OF over 3d.
600 miles, over which some 200
through passenger trains are
constantly in motion. The
Farthest North Line" extends
from Halifax on the Atlantic 10
Prince Rupert. only a few miles
below the southern point of Al
aska. Much OF the line is above
the 52nd degree. and traverses
q land locked in snow and ice
through long winters. The road
has been over ten years in build
ing. Three years were devoted
to search for low summit, the
engineers finally falling upon
Yellow Head Pass. with an alti-
tude Of 3.712 feet. as against
1851 feet. which Judah accept
ed as practicable in the Sierra
Nevadas. The original transeon-
tinental line. and many other
western roads. have been prac-
tically rebuilt on the mountain
divisions in recent years to con
form with the present policy of
railroad building avoiding high
grades and sharp curves, even
al the expense Of long tunnels
and enormous cuts.

READ AND THINK

Governor Harmon, in his last mes
sage to the general assembly, paid a
tribute to the work Of Attorney Cen
eral Hogan that comes to few public
officials. Every friend of Governor
Harmon's knows how sparlng he was
in praise, and word of commentator
from him has great Significance. The
following is the message:
1T seldom falls to the lot OF a pub
lie officer to do so much for the inter-
ests and good name Of the state as the
present Attorney General has done. Az
ter prolonged litigation and decisions
first adverse, he has established the
right to recover from bondsmen unlaw-
full gains made by officials from the
use Of public funds. Through his ef-
forts graft and defiance of law and or
der have been punished and evil doers
generally put In wholesome fear"
This Is the man that the Democracy
of this state proposes for the United
States senate. He merits the support
of every good citizen of this common
wealth.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Oct. 26-The
Public Service Commission will to-
morrow hold the first hearing upon
the application of Missouri trunk line
railroads for authority to increase
their passenger, freight and excess
baggage rates. The Commission has
refused to allow the roads to put the
new schedules into effect. The hear
ing is to determine the reasonableness
Of the proposed new rates. The pre-
sumption Is that. the commission will
permit the roads to present evidence
upon the question of fallen revenues,
put its experts ON the books Of the

"THE EXCHANGE RATE"
(Leslie's WeelSly.)
Sincerely yours,
EDWARDS RITCHIE.

(Leslie's Weekly.)
presume that many of my readers
pay little attention to "the rate of ex-
change" and have no Idea that il is an
important factor bearing on the ques-
tion of the opening of the New York
Stock Exchange. When the Old
World wants our gold as IL does now
1t bids for 1t and exchange rates go up
as they have been doing since the op,
enlng of the war.
We are a debtor nation and must
pay our debts abroad in gold. The
warning nations all need gold, and to
get 1t are willing to sacrifice their
enormous holdings of American Sc
curities, If the Stock Exchange were
to reopen foreign holders would liquid
ate their securities and the drain upon
our gold resources would be heavy.
On the other hand foreign nations
need our cotton, wheat, corn, meats
and now especially are calling upon us
for extraordinary supplies in the way
of clothing, shoes and products that
they usually produce at home. Fol
these commodities the foreigners
must, Of course, pay us in gold. II
4, we can sell more to them than they
can sell to us the golden stream will
flow inward and not outward.
Whenever conditions are eQualizet
exchange will so back to norma
basis and then the stock exchange will
be opened and we can meet all the de
mands that may be made upon us
Hence the reason why the rate OF OK
change has such an important bearing
oil the opening of the stock market
