L c. c. Report of Railway
Valuation.
PrOuty Says Total Costs VIII
Amount to Huge Figure.
HEAVY INCREASE IS ASKED
Appropriations for the Next
Few Years TO Be Large.
Other Items of General Interest
in the Traffic World.

The chief of the valuation division
OF the interstate commerce commits
sion has given out some estimates of
the, probable cost of the work of val
uing the railroads of the country.
The commission for the next fiscal
year asks for 100000. The last
annual appropriation was $2,0OO.OOO,
and 100000 had been appropriated
before that. The cost Of the current
work now going on is about $2.OOO,O00
a year, of which about 100000. &C
cording to the report, is what is called
overhead expenses. The desire TO
carry on the field work faster has led
to the demand for a larger appropri-
alton. There are now at work forty
parties. eight parties in each of five
districts. These men go over 1000
miles of road month. The valua-
ton chief, Mr.. Prouty. desires to dou-
BILE this rate; that is, to make 1t about
$4,000 miles a year; and even at that
Ii would take at least four years from
next July to finish the work. At the
present rate, $2.OOO,OOO year for
$4,000 miles, the total cost to the gov
eminent for all the roads would be
around $21.O0O, 900. Possibly if the
overhead charges do not increase in
proportion, the total might be a mil
lion or two less. The smaller figure,
however is more than six times the
amount of the estimates which were
common when the valuation law was
first discussed by congress.
Speaking of what the railroads are
doing. Mr.. Prouty said that at pres
ent they were doing more talking than
work, but some of them. he says,
have made a good deal of progress.
The Boston and Maine is expanding
on this work an average of 500 a
mile. Other roads, however may have
more complete records and likely will
not have so large an expense for new
surveys. At 500 a mile, the 1885,
900 miles of road in the country would
cost $25.0OO,00O.
In another part of his statement
Mr. Prouty says that the government
is spending about half as much as
the railroad companies. This would
make the total expenditures of the
railroads in the country somewhere
from S36.0OO,OOO to S42,OOO,OOO.

REDUCE BREAD PRICE.
New York Bakers Will Wholesale

New York, Feb. 25.-The wholesale
price of bread. which was recently
raised to cents a loaf, il to be re-

The fact that there was much agi-
raised. followed by Investigations into

REDUCING COAL LOSSES.
Special Agents Kept Busy During the
Winter Season.


According TO NJ. L. Long. chief spe-
cial agent for the Rock Island with
headquarters here, coal thefts have
been kept to a low limit this winter.
Mr.. Long says that conditions in the
Kansas City yards, where a large
number of railway special agents are
employed. have improved wonderfully.
The chief source of trouble has been
tramps breaking into boxcars and
stealing small articles of merchandise.
Catching the men responsible for the
thieving and convicting them are two
different matters.
During the past few months they
have succeeded in reducing the losses
from $1,000 a month to a few dollars.
The men avoided making arrests
whenever possible. Men who were
caught were often given chances Of
making good before prosecution was
brought. The yard men were told to
avoid violence whenever possible.
Tramps were told to keep off the right
of way, and arrested only when viO-
lence was threatened.
At any rate, petit losses and coal
thefts have been on the decline this
winter.

The Drug Terror at Hip.
For many years reformers and So
cial workers, have been waging Wig
orous warfare against the two great
social evils. Alcoholism and White
Slavery, but it is only recently that
they have awakened to a full realiza-
ton of the fact that almost without
warning a third vice has sprung up
and assumed such proportions that it
bids fair to become the paramount is
sue they will have to meet.
This is the widespread use of tissue
wrecking, nerve destroying, soul scar
ing drugs, principally opium and it's
derivatives. So rapid and insidious
have been the advances of this loath-
some habit, that today it permeates
our social structure from the society
woman at the top, to the woman of
the slums and the gutter rats below.
All these conditions are shown up
most clearly in the great motion pic
ture story 1.-The Drug Terror" which
will be exhibited at the Hip today, to-
morrow and Saturday.

IMPROVE LANES
AFTER SEWERS ARE LAID

Puiwa and Park lanes. opening into
Nuuanu street and Laimi road, as well
as Laimi road VIII be paved and side,
walks will be constructed In the near
future. This was the agreement reach
ed by Mayor Lane and the supervisors
following an inspection of the roads
Saturday.
The street improvement, however,
will not be made until sewers have
been installed. The officials reported
a dislike to pave roads where sewers
had not been installed previously and
the Nuuanu valley lanes will not prove
an exception, they declared.
James T. Taylor, at whose behest
the inspection was made. stated that
II was his desire that the sewers be
installed Immediately and the work
probably will be done under the front
age tax Improvement statutes, follow
ed by paving and curbing.
