of the giant intellects that constructed
this marvellous industry and a journey
along the pathway of its development,
illuminated at every mile-post Of its
progress by the lightning fashes of
brilliant minds, will be taken at very

A brief statistical review of the in

The telephone service of the United
States is the most popular and efficient
and its rates are the cheapest of the
telephone systems Of the world.
We are the greatest takers on earth.
We send so per cent of our communi-
cations over the telephone. The world
has about 100000 telephones and Of
this number the United States has ap-
proximately 9,540.000, Europe 4,020,0 900

Our transportation facilities are the
most perfect product of this great COM
mercial age and the telegraph and tel
ephone systems of this nation crown
the industrial achievements of the
whole world. These twin messengers
of modern civilization, born in the
skies, stand today the most faithful and
efficient public servants that ever
toiled for the human race.
They are Of American nativity and
while warm from the mind of the in
yentive genius have, under American
supervision, spun a network of wires
across the earth and under the seas
Telegraphy, in it's early youth, mas
tered the known world and the tele-
phone has already conquered the
earth's surface, and now stands at the
seashore ready to leap across the
ocean.
No industry in the history Of the
world has ever made such rapid strides
in development and usefulness, and
none has ever exerted more powerful
influence upon the civilization of its
day than the Telegraph and Telephone.
Their achievement demonstrates the
supremacy Of two distinct types OF
American genius-invention and organ
ization.
The industry was peculiarly FORUM
ate in having powerful inventive intel
lect at It's source and tremendous
minds to direct its organization and
growth. 1t Is the most perfect fruit
of the tree of American industry and
when compared with its European con-
temporaries, 1t thrills every patriotic
American with pride.
Ambitious youth can find no more in.

the accepted distance from the earth
to the moon. We had in 1911, the
last year in which figures for all
countries are available, on the
earth's surface, 639, 1881 miles of rail-
way divided as follows: United States
241 ,199, Europe 207, 1872 and other
countries 1880 The United States
has 38 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 $50,000,000,-
900, divided as follows: United States
$13,000,000,000 Europe $25 $50, 100000
and other countries $11,350.000,00
Reduced to a mileage basis the cap
italization is as follows: The world
$4,000, United States $4,000, Europe
$124,000 and other countries $4,000
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 $3.50,
France $1.44, Germany $1.44, Russia
92c. Austria-Hungary $13O, Italy $3.50
and Switzerland 1882
The average yearly pay of all rail-
road employees in the principal coun-
tries is as follows: United States
$7s7, Germany 1892. Italy $345. Aus
tria 1922. Great Britain $279, France
$3.50 and Russia 1904
About 80 per cent. or $4,000 miles,
of the railways of the world are
government owned. About half the
railway mileage of Europe is govern
ment owned.
comparison of the economy, in
time and money and the convenience
in travel, will be made in later

In discussing the commercial
achievements Of this great age, we
shall approach the subject as the
historian chronicling events. This Sc
ries will endeavor to record in writ
ing the supremacy of American men
and industries in the worlds 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 worlds
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, Elk
press, Public Highways, Steamships,
Street Railways, Interurban 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
ly managed of the railways Of the
world. They stand az monument to
the native genius of our marvellous
builders, and most of the railroads in
foreign countries have been built
under American orders.
The railroads represent larger in
vestment of capital than any other
branch of human activity. The mile
age in the United States exceeds

This is commercial age and civ

fruit in America. We are noted for
our Industrial achievements as Egypt

Shorty Becomes a Hero.

Editor Nezperce Herald:
Would you please publish in your
paper the following:
Shorty Goddard, who has been up
in that country during the past sum-
mer, made one Of the most heroic
rescues at Anatone recently when F.
C. Moran's house burned. Mr.. Mo-
rams daughter, Nellie, aged 10, was
up stairs and all hope Of saving her
had been given up, when Shorty
came On the scene and was told
about it. He looked at the crowd,
and, shouting the one word, "cow-
ard s" rushed into an almost certain
death. After two or three minutes
of GREATNESS suspense he brought
her out to safety.
He was very modest about it, say
ing it was no more than any one else
should have done. His right hand
and arm were painfully but not SER
iously burned.
Yours,
Clyde Moran.

PLANE MOTOR CONTEST
Aero Club Wants United States
to Solve Problem.

To develop better aeronautical
motors a 100000 competition has been
proposed 20 the Navy Department in a
letter TO Secretary Daniels from Alan
R. Hawley, president of the Aero Club
of America. The governors of the club
are convinced that such a competition.
similar TO those held in France, Eng
land and Germany, would afford a
prompt and economic solution to the
serious problem of building sufficient
aircraft for the navy, the army and the
organized militia.
The Aero Club suggests that the
competition should be for three classes
Of motors from 90 20 100 horsepower.
from 100 TO $50 horsepower and from
$50 70 $50 horsepower. Since the de-
STABILITY of having dual power slants
is generally recognized, the develop
ment of the 60 to 100 horsepower class
should be encouraged as much as
motors Of higher power. The club also
believes the prizes should be substan-
tial enough TO attract the best builders.

worst. Although many improvements

there is still room for a great deal OF
improvement, the visitors agreed as
