VAST EARNINGS OF COUNTRY
Railroads Contribute 49, ,o57, 141 in
1e16-Increase Is Seen for Cur.
rent Year.

The magnitude OF this country's ac-
tivities and industries Is impressively
indicated in various annual reports
and statements which have Just been
published for 1915. Here are the fig-
ures that briefly tell the story:
Total operating revenue Of railroads,
$3,6o2,O57,14 III.
Volume OF business OF the United
States Steel corporation, $1,231,473,-
ITO.
Total operating revenues Of the Bell
system, telephones, 1894, 600, 1000.
Gross earnings Of national banks,
5000, 100000.
When 1t is remembered. observes the
Manufacturers Record, that the rail-
road data included only railroads hav-
ing annual revenues Of S1.OOO,OOO or
more although their gross earnings
constitute % per cent Of all in the
United States), and that the bank
statement does not include either
banks with state charters or trust
companies, the great totals loom up
even more wonderfully.
And every n Of these will proba-
bly, show ever larger totals at the
end Of the current year.

RAIL ROADS USING MORE OIL
Previous Year-Interesting Sta
tistics Given.

A decided increase in the use of
petroleum as locomotive fuel by the
railroads of the United States in 1916
is shown by statistics compiled under
the supervision of John II. Northrop
and just published by the United
States geological survey, department
Of the interior.
Reports submitted by So railroad
companies, comprising all that operate
oil-burning locomotives in the United
States, show that the quantity of oil
fuel so consumed last year vas
+ .1o6.417 barrels. a gain Of 5,477.951
barrels, or 10 per cent. over the con
sumption In 1915.
This increase shows the steady ex-
pansion in the United States of the
market for lOw-grade petroleum from
Mexico rather than any appreciate
increase in the use as fuel of low
gravity crude oils from domestic
sources. whose value for refining is
just beginning to be recognized.
The total distance covered by oil
burning engines in 1916 was 1io.i3i,-
56G miles. and the average distance
covered per barrel of fuel consumed
was 1888 niles. Oil-burning locomo-
tives were operated in 1916 over 81
$50 miles Of track in p states.

the life Of most cities, vet these
past GO years in the life Of
Seattle have seen It's develop
ment from primeval wilderness to a
city OF worldwide importance. The
era Of development started in 1852,
when a group of hardy pioneers, one
of whom Is still living in Seattle, land
ed on the wide beach at Al-Ki point,
just outside the entrance OF the har-
Dor. Here the first rude cabins were
built and the first homes of the future
city established. But soon, in seeking
better protection for themselves from
the storms Of the Pacific, better means
Of wrestling q necessary livelihood from
the soil and the waters, the pioneers
rounded the wooded promontory Of Du-
vanish, entered the harbor and estab-
1ished their settlement on its eastern
shore.
As new settlers were attracted by
the fertility Of the soil, says Earle
Gage in Grit, the advantages Of the
harbor location and the soft, equable

here that all manner of undertakings,

A Review Of the Work Of the State
Government at the Capitol and
at the Various State
Institutions.

OiAN.
When South Dakota entered the list
of statewide prohibition states on July
l, 1t automatically was provided, un-
der an act OF the last legislature, with
q unique state law enforcement force,
made up OF the sheriffs of the various
counties, acting under the direction Of
a state sheriff. This force Of county
sheriffs is expected to prove as effec-
tive a law enforcement force as the
famous Texas rangers or the Canadian
northwest mounted police. For this
important office Gov. Norbeck appoint
ed John c.. Shanks, OF Parker, S. D.,
for some years sheriff of Turner coun-
ty, n Of the most populous OF the
state. State Sheriff Shanks had long
since proved himself one of the most
efficient officers in the northwest.
The law creating the office OF state
sheriff also authorized the enrolment
OF all the county sheriffs of South Da-
kota as a state co%nstabulary, to be un-
de- the direction, as occasion de-
mands, of the state sheriff. The duties

the criminal laws OF South Dakota, to
cause filing Of criminal complaints
against persons charged with viola
ions Of the ame to assist in detect
ing and Investigating crime, procuring
evidence against violators of the law,
and arresting and prosecuting those
charged with state law violations.
The state sheriff also is required,
under the law, to suppress riots and
preserve and enforce law and order
throughout the state. He also must
supervise the members OF the state
~constabulary in the discharge of their
official duties, and will cooperate with
and assist the governor Of South Da-
kota in the performance Of his con-
stitutional duty of seeing that all the
law OF the state are faithfully en-
forced.
A part of the attention Of the state
sheriff and his force of county sheriffs
Will be devoted to a strict enforcement
OF the state law carrying into effect
statewide prohibition. They will, If
possible. make the state bone dry"
as is contemplated by the act of the
legislature carrying into effect the
statewide prohibition amendment to
the state constitution. which was
adopted by the voters Of South Dakota
at the election in November, 1916.
