Few Miles Of Railroad Built
in 1913; Sparsely Settled
Sections Get the Bulk.

- ORT WORTH, Tex, Jan. 31.-There
were 4241 miles of new railroad
L built in Texas during the calen-
dar wear 1913. and this new mileage
was secured by raising bonuses Of ap-
Droximately 100000, according to data
Complied by the Texas Business Men
association
The new mileage was constructed at
a cost of $I0,6O0,O00, but It enhanced
the value Of contiguous property &C
cordinE to customary estimates ap-
proximately S27,O00,O0O.
Railroads known as Independent
Ines are credited with the greater part
Of the new trackage. The santa re
and the Southern Pacific are the only
"svstem companies that punt new
mileage. These two roads constructed
1867 of the 1913 mileage, and the IN
dependents built 2S7-4 miles.
Record of Previous Years.
The mileage constructed during the
calendar year 1912 was 1856, ana 55S-f
in 1911 Prior to 1911 no data nave
been kept of the construction Dy cal
endar years
Practically all the roaGs built during
1913 have been into new and thinly
settled territory, and the builders have
trusted to the future to provide tonnage
to pay interest on bonds and DIVIDENDS
on the investment. The density Of pop
ulation in the counties along the route
averages persons to each square mile
of area, according to the latest federal
census.
The railroad made its initial appear
ance in Bailey, Gillespie, Hockey,
Lamb. Live Oak and Motley counties in
1913. and many residents of these coun-
ties heard for the first time the Whis-
tie Of a locomotive. Texas still has p
counties without a single mile of rail
road and their combined area is 80 900

Germany's Commercial Loss by War.

From the Engineering Magazine.
The United Kingdom, the United
States, Austria Hungary. Russia and
France are Germans chief customers
for partly manufactured and p,anufac-
tured goods. The first two countries,
OF course, will seek to direct into home
channels the trade that has hitherto
gone to Germany, while Austria. Rus
STA and France are not likely to re-
quire anything beyond food and war
materials and equipment so long as
the war lasts, even if the inhabitants
of these countries had money to spend
Oh other articles Of commerce. But
Germany's trade with the neutral
countries of Europe, or that portion OF
the trade which the home manufac-
turers cannot supply, is certain to pass
pro TEN either into English or Anne =
lean hands. Figures show this trade
to be worth S422, per annur. and
if one adds to this total the value of
German trade in Central and South
America, S155,237.0O0; in Asia. $780,
1000 and in Africa, 81, 02e 900. one
obtains the respectable total of s72O,
114,00O as the annual value of the trade
W which is now open to English and
American traders aud manufacturers.
In practically all branches of this
trade there are great opportunities
for English and American manufac-
will be required to obtain the greatest
possible advantage from tho present
situation. Whether England and
America can retain, after the war, the
trade SO won from Germany, will de-
pend altogether OIL the energy and re-
and statesmen, in the period that
elapscs before Germany can again en-
ter the arena AZ a strong competitor
for the world trade.
