As no city has a convention hall
larjce enough to hold al the exhibits,
according to V. R. Hawthorne, secre
tary of Division f, American Rail
way Association, he proposes the
erection of a temporary structdre lo
accommodate the 25 or more rail
road bodies which would hold con
ventions here under the plaj.s. An
other suggestion I t0 hold 11 t'Hn"

numlier of smaller celebrations held
simultaneously in other cities, mak-
ing Cliicago the 'center of a great
railroad centennial wheel.
American railroads will participate
in in the English celebration
of the opening of the first railway
in the world, conducted by the In
ternational Railway Congress, but it
is the desire of the American Kail
wav Association also to commemor
ate the American centennial, which
comes In 11)28.
The truckage of the American
roads, according to the Interstate
Commerce Commission, is- ;i70,9i)2
miles, not including switches and
terminal lines. According to 'these
same figures, there are now in op
eration approximately 70,000 locomo
tives, 2500,000 freight cars and (io,
000 passenger cars.
"Although . there - were, railways
in the western hemisphere. It was

I says the Chicago Association of Com

commemoration. "When Charles Car

of the Declaration of Independence,

.Mills, Mil., for the firfcti seven miles
of railway between Vinegar Hill and
