Seventy Lines in Country.

Seventy lines now operate over the
country. all but one east OF the Mis-

"Why, Gen. Pershing has 1900
trucks damaged or ruined over on
the other side" said Mr.. Blakeslee,
telling Of the growth of the system.

hand, or an arm, or a leg, and we
can use them all. too, in good work
at good pay, that they can do. Con-
gress gave us 100000 to work with.
and If we had the earnings of the
lines themselves we could expand
almost Indefinitely. AS 1T is, Sd
OOO.OO0 will be requested by the dl-
vision for next year, and think 1T
will be appropriated. People realize
what we are doing.
Operating at night is the most
profitable, and we have but two ma
chimes doing that, out of New York.
The typical route is about $50 miles
long, 90 miles out and 80 miles back.

the mail service allowing almost any
thing to be taken. The mail trucks
go, come rain, storm or anything,
and so the traffic develops. Rates
are also pretty high. the lowest being
about 500 ton. That is what makes
the surplus revenues.
