MIR. MILAN EXPLAINS.

This paper never desires to do any
man an injustice When word was
brought to this office that the work
done on state road No. 10 was incom-
plete and the road impossible to travel,
we at once wrote to Mr.. MILAN making
inquiries as to the reason why, as it
was known that he had charge of the
construction. Mr.. MILAN very cour-
teously replies to that letter and from
his statement it will be seen that no
blame can be attach ed to him, as he
was working directly under instruc-
lions of the state engineer:

Tn discussing the commercial achievements of this great age, We shall approach the subject as the historian chronicling events. This SC. ries will endeavor 10 record in writ ing the supremacy of American men and industries in the world affairs and perptuate an appreciation of our marvellous industrial achievements by presenting simple facts. figures and comparisons that are overpowering in their convictions.
 America holds her proud place among the nations Of the earth today on account of her supremacy in trans portation facilities. The mighty minds of the age are engaged in the prob lens of transportation, and the great est men in the history of the world s commerce are at the head of the transportation systems of the United States
 In the discussion of transportation, let us consider separately our Rail ways. Telegraph and Telephones. Ex press, Public Highways. Steamships Street Railways, lnterurban and other forms of transportation. and this ar ticle will deal with railways.
 The United States has the largest mileage, the best service. the cheap est rates. pays labor the highest wages. and we have the most efficient fy managed of the railways of the world They stand as a monument tC the native genius of our maryelou; builders, and most of the railroads il foreign countries have been bull under American orders

The United States has 3S per cent of the worlds mileage, seven per cent of the estimated pop ulation and about five per cent of the area The total capital invested in the railways Of the world is S50,000 000,- 900, divided al follows.

Reduced to a mileage basis the cap talization is as follows The world $7S.O00 United States $54,O00 Europe Sl24,000 and other countries s59000.
 A comparison of rates is equally as interesting and the United States takes the lead in economy and serv- ice. The average rate per ton per hundred mile haul IS as follows: United States 76c, Great Britain s253, France s144 Germany $144, Russia 92c. Austria Hungary Sl30. Italy $2.3O and Switzerland s2S2

All of the material used by the chron-

ing by their messages the nations MIS-

The parallel account of the reign OF
