THE "MORKlffGOKEGOfflAN, WEDNESDAY, OQTOBER 17, 19$0. HE SCORED BRYAN Stirring Address by General Clarke E. Carr. CROWD PACKED THE TABERNACLE OiatlngmtBhed Speaker From Illinois Talks on the Issue Before the People. Entlmsiaxn over an eloquent enunciation of Republican principles, cheers and laughter at the telling points made against the Democratic party by General Clarke E.Carr, in his direct, forcible style, enlivened oy a Quaint, unaffected humor, "were the characteristic features of the large mass meeting at the Tabernacle last evening. The building was crowded from the main floor to the gallery. Fully 2500 people wero assembled. General Carr won the hearts of the audience from his opening remarks on the unity of the East and the West, to his closing sentences prophesying the great future of the Western Empire. The speaker could not ihave received a greater reception, and the applause he received, was generously shared with Mrs. Rose Bloch Bauer, whose singing of "Tha Btar-Spangled Banner" and "The Red, White and Blue" brought the entire assembled thousands to their feet. In cheers of tumultuous ap preciation. General Carr has a ready wit. When discussing the free-silver policy of Bryan &e answered an interruption from a Bil Ter Democrat in such an effective manner that the climax of the meeting in laugh ter and cheers was reached. "I have a great respect for Mr. Bryan as a man of strong convictions," said General Carr. When Democrats say there is no danger of Bryan changing the gold standard they are mistaken. Put in a Democratic Administration, and they'd do it If they tried. Andrew Jack son broke up the United States banks when the law was against him. Your honored citizen, George H. Williams, has pointed out how Bryan could put the country on a silver basis. Senator Alli son has pointed out "the danger of a change of the party balance In the Sen ete and the House of Representatives. I know Bryan "too well. Too many times have I heard him Jump up in the air, crack his heels together four or five times, end tell what he would do. As I say, he Is a man of strong convictions, and I respect him too Wghly to doubt that he would forsake free silver if elected." Voice in thfs audience No, he won't go back on it, as .McKinley did. General Carr -McKinley may have changed his "views, but X iiaxe a few words Just for you, my friend: Wise men eometlmes change their opinions, but fools never. General Carr was escorted to the pa vilion by the Rough -Riders Club, under Captain McDbnell, led by the Third Regiment Band. With flambeau, cym bals, dinner-pails and natty uniforms, the Rough Riders are adding a picturesque element to the campaign rallies, and the organization is daily growing In strength. The meeting was opened by Mrs. Bauei-, who sang "The Red, White and Blue" in her sweet, clear soprano, completely fill ing the large auditorium, responding to the uproarious applause with "Old Ken tucky Home." P. W. Mulkey. president of the County Republican league, Introduced the speak er In a few forcible remarks, pointing out that those fighting the political bat tles of peace should be as loyal ana patriotic as those serving their country in the battles of war. On the platform were leading Republicans, among them, Senator Simon, George H. WHHams, May or Rowe. O. F. Paxton, Peter F. Ward, Colonel James Jackson, General Beebe, David M. Dunne, W. D. Fenton, George Steel, W. T. Mulr, and W. S. Dunlway. In opening, General Carr briefly char acterized the feeling of unity existing In the United States, caused by the fact of drift of the sons of the East to the West in the pioneer days. "This senti ment existing between us as a people, he feeling of the people of the East for you and you for them, is the strongest bond that binds this vast Republic to gether. Although Illinois is 2000 miles away, let one stand up in Oregon and "talk disparagingly of Abraham Lincoln, John A. Logan or Richard Yates, all feel ing of sectional differences dissolve in a moment. With us it is the same. I went to California in 1859 with Governor Yates on the Pacific Railroad, Just com pleted, and wo talked of the wonderful development of the country, and speaking of that railroad, remember that It owed the Government a large amount of money never collected and never able to be col lected until William McKInley was Pres ident. Then I plumed myself, in a speech, on our great manufactures, J3.700.000, equaling all the manufactures of Great Britain. Today our manufactures are 512.000.O00.O00 every year, two and one-half times those of Great Britain, and greater than those of Great Britain, Germany and Trance combined. Last year we earned $14.000.000 000. one-half of which was by organized labor. Wo earn everv half day JM.OM.OW. the amount paid Spain for the Philippine Islands. In Iron and steel in dustries we surpass the world. In coal we haWireached that anomaly of send ing coals to Newcastle. We have not only the resources, but the brains and brawn, the thews with which to throw the world. Our artisans and operatives produce per capita twice as much as the artisans of Europe. "S-uch has been our increaj in wealth; such the development of the country. It might have been more. It ought to have Deen more, but for the set-backs of two Democratic Administrations. We did not get on much in ihoe ssd, Forrowf ul yeara. In 18t6 the menace of the possible elec tion of Bryan Bet everybody wrong. Look at the prosneritv before ikv -rvmi years before I went ."broad, and watched affair? closely. Times were dull. Then Iread of a bill introduced In Congress. Over there they called It the horrid Mc KInley bill. It finally passed. "McKinley has not always done what I wished him to do. Time was when Abra ham Lincoln did not do what we wished "him to do. But, like Lincoln. McKinley always came out right, and was success ful. Since he entered Congress every time the people have disregarded his ad vice and admonitions, every time they have seen adversity. We recollect how he fought the Democratic tariff bills Every time his policies have been fol lowed the people have enjoyed prosperity beyond measure. His bill was not all tariff. It introduced reciprocity, and the principle of introducing free articles we do not raise ourselves. "When I went to Denmark I was set on introducing American pork. I found I might as well try pouring poetry down a rat hole to draw out the rat as'tb talk about It. I was afraid I couldn't come home and look an honest, self-respecting boy In the face. Along came the Mc Kinley bill and reciprocity, and the battle was won. "I came back in lS92ond saw prosperity everywhere, and heard the Republican Macedonian cry, "'Men wanted." My only fear of Bryan's election resulted from that experience. The American people forgot their prosperity. "We are volatile: we forget our benefits and thus let slip the very thing we are striving for our prosperity. Such times as the depres sion of 1S93 were never conceived of. Sam uel Gompers then said more, than 3,000.000 men willing to work were unable to find employment and were fed by charity. "But then, say now. There is the strike. But did you ever hear of anybody strik ing when he didn't have a Job? "This reminds me of a recent address by William J. Bryan, before an audience composed mostly of women. He noticed this and said: 'There -are not so many men here as when I spoke in 1K95. I should like to ask the cause of this? A little boy answered, Thonea's all work ing.' "After lS93ibey started another panacea. Free silver would fix It all up lovely. With free silver, prosperity; no free sllvir, no prosperity.- Keep the gold standard, said Bryan, and suffer misery, poverty and adversity. One reason peo ple voted for McKInley was that they thought things couldn't get worse and might Improve. But the gold standard is the standard of the world. Every coin issued by the United States should come up to the standard of gold. .We put that in our platform and carried it not that we xixe against silver. The Republican party is the real sliver party; It makes silver good, and provides-plenty ofit; but it keeps It at par. Do you know when the 'crime of. '73' was committed there were only 6,000,000 sliver dollars, and that now there are 600,000.000? Why change when conditions are Improving every day? The speaker effectually demolished C. A. Towne'g "consent of the governed' argu ment and his answer to the South Caro lina negro question, that the negroes were to be allowed citizenship when bet ter educated and able to take care of themselves and to respect property. "So with the Filipinos," said the Genera). "When they are capable of self-government, we will give It to them, but not before. Who ever heard of our securing the consent of the governed in our ter ritories? But we did quell a revolt In New Mexico after one of our Governors and United, States soldiers were- killed." Referring to the war, he vigorously com bated) the idea of retiring from the Phil ippines and losing to the Nation and to the Pacific Coast entry in to Asiatic com merce. His reference to Theodore Roose velt aroused great applause. "When the war opened, a message went across con tinents and under seas to Admiral Dewey at Hong Kong, which read, 'Find and capture or destroy the Spanish fleet. Was there ever in all the history of the world a more terse message than, that? The man that, wrote that order, was the As sistant Secretary of the Navy, known the world over as Teddy Roosevelt." He closed with a brilliant peroration as to the future of the Pacific Coast, when San Francisco, Portland, Seattle and Tacoma should be what Paris, Lon don, Hamburg and Liverpool are to Eu rope. . . " Hon. George H. Williams speech for Saturday evening was announced. . LOSING VOTES EVERY DAY. General Carr's Views o Bryan's Can didacy at This Time. , Speaking of the general political situa tion. General Carr, in an interview last evening, said: "The more Bryan says, the more excite ment he raises by his speeches and meet ings, the greater will be President Mc Klnleyfs majority. Bryan's chances are falling off every day. Every day he is arousing more intense opposition by an tagonizing some element or section. Three months ago probably he might have been elected. Now his chances are hope less. The only danger that I can see ahead of President McKInley's election by an overwhelming majority is apathy in the Republican ranks and a failure to turn out a large vote. "Out here there Is heard talk of Bryan carrying UMnois, Indiana, andNew York, for which there is not the slightest basis of fact. President McKInley will carry Illinois by a large majority, and his vic tory In New York and Indiana will also be decisive. Bryan's active speech-making campaign will only stir up interest in those states and help arouse the people and the Republicans to the danger of his election." ' General Carp left his home in Galea burg, HI., October 4, and made' his first speech In Albuquerque, N. M., where he was called out from the train. He has made speeches In the orange" districts of Southern California, the Fresno ralsln produclng region, San Francisco ana Stockton, and .Ashland. Or. In all these places' he has found the people1 opposed to any change in conditions, and the "gen eral trend In favor "of the re-election of President McKinley. General Carr Is one of the oldest trus tees of Knox College, and was Instru mental in securing the appointment of President (McClelland, of Pacific Univer sity, to the head of the Galesburg insti tution. "We hated to take him from Oregon," said the General, "but we had to have him." General Carr leaves this morning for The Dalles, and is also scheduled' for speeches at Kelso, Puyallup and Ever ett, Wash., before his Seattle speech. Republicans Plan for Bis Rally. THE DALLES, Or., Oct 16. Prepara tions are being made here today by the county central committee for the Republi can rally tomorrow night, at which Gen eral Clarke E. Carr, of Illinois, will de liver an address. Hon. E. L. Smith, of Hood River, whose acquaintance with General Carr is of many years' standing, will preside at the meeting. ROBBERY. OF MRS. RUBENS The Plot Said to Have Been Hatched in Havana. HAVANA. Oct 16. The police of this city have cabled the French authorities -thatnSeptember 12 two well-known and suspicious characters, Jlmlnez Capote and Hernandez Febles, sailed for7Spaln on the same steamer as Mrs. -Horatio Rubens, who was robbed of money and Jewelry estimated at more than $20,000 in value, on a train between Madrid and Paris. The rollce authorities in Spain were also Informed that a third man on the steamer is alsp suspected of knowing something about the robbery. It Is Delieved that a plot to rob Mrs. Rubens was concocted in Havana, and other persons were con cerned In it Thp latter are believed to be n the United States. The Spanish authorities wore advised, prior to the ar rival of the steamer Cludad de, Cadiz, at Santander. October 2, that It was prob able an .attempt at robbery would be made. The suspected persons were not arrested. One of the suspects, a- Cuban, wxs on the same train as Mrs. Rifbens when the robbery occurred. A new Cuban Chief of Police was ap pointed by Governor-General Wood yes terday. . " Explosion of Rubber Cement. DETROIT. Mich., Oct 16.

UECTION IN" DAWSON POPULATION VOTE FOR REPRESEN TATIVES FOR IjrRST TIME,' SUners to Pay Less Taxes, jSCercaaats, Landowners and Steamboatznea Mere News ln General. DAWSON, Sept 25. (Special correspon dence.) Uncle Sam. is by no means having a-monopoly-of -election campaign excite ment at the present time. Yukon Terri tory is now passing through its initia tory tribulations along that line, and In a few days will elect two members of tfoe Yukon Council the first election In its brief history. The remaining five mem bers are appointed at Ottawa. Prior to this year, Dawson has been exempt from taxation and representation. Henceforth it is to have both. By taxa tion is meant a property and income tax. The royalty on the gold output and the fees paid by miners have heretofore supplied the revenue of this territory, but 'the merchants and landowners and steam boat companies have escaped taxes. This Is to b'e changed now, the politi cians say, for the benefit of the miner, whomust be relieved of a large portion 'of this great burden. Inasmuch as the majority of voters are miners, both par ties are industriously catering to their in terests. But after all it's the old story of the ins wanting to stay in and the outs wanting to get in. Opening the country again to reloca tion and the return of many Klondlkers from Nome has revived confidence' in Dawson, and now there is a building boom on, and prices of real estate are steadily going up. Of course, this can only be temporary, for the town Is now large enough for the country Burroundlng it A new strike of fairly good pay has been made on Clear Creek, a tributary of Stewart River. The new diggings are shallow butf extensive in area. Clear Creek Is about 100 .miles from Dawson, In a southeasterly direction. Much prospecting will be done this Win ter In the Tanana country. From well founded reports of discoveries during the past Summer It seems likely that, a great mining district of both copper and gold will be developed there ' within a few years. Two conditions operate against Summer prospecting in that district, viz., expense and difficulty of transporting sup plies, through the Interminable marshes and bogs, and the great quantity of water which prevents the prospector from get ting to any considerable depth without first making drainage ditches. Both these difficulties can be easily overcome in Wln terf and when the pay is once located It is an ideal proposition for Summer work ing, for the ground is not very deep, the pitch of the bedrock Is generally good, and the water supply Is ample. The finest of pine and spruce timber grows along the Tanana and Its tribu taries, and thousands of acres of mea dow lands, producing the tamous Alaska bluer-stem or red-top grass", stretch away to the eastward toward the Yukon JRlver. Wild cranberries (both the high-bush and vine varieties), red raspberries, red and black currants, grow there in great pro fusion. The smaller streams teem with grayling, and in the more sluggish, rlvera and lakes are to be found plenty of plck- .erel. The moose, the caribou and the ptarmigan are still plentiful In the woods. I might remark, also, that the festive mosquito flourishes there to an extent and perfection -unknown in Oregon, even along the Columbia Slough and Sauvie's Island after a big June freshet. ,. Custom-House figures show that over 60,000 tons of freight have "been brought to Dawson during the open season of 1900. and it is now arriving at White Horse faster than steamers and scows can take It away. Three weeks will prob ably mark the close of the -freighting season. Notwithstanding tnese large im portations, prices continue high. Flour commands ?6 per saok, eggs 75 cents and $1 per dozen, potatoes 14 cents per pound, and other goods in proportion. Eighty cents per hour, -without-board, are the best wages, now being paid, ex cept In few Instances, and many employ ers are paying considerably less. I would advise laboring men not to leave Oregon and come to Dawson. The average Klon dike mineowner Is not to be compared for a moment with the Oregon hopgrower In 1900, provided the hopgrower doesn't pay interest on a mortgage and hold his hops for 20 cents when he can sell for 15 cents. A movement originated some time ago in the Dawson Board of Trade to reduce commercial gold dust from ?1G to $15 per ounce, but one of the leading companies withdrew from the agreement arid dust still continues to be received at $16 In payment of all bills In Dawson, except when otherwise specified. JOHN O. BOZORTH. EARTHQUAKES IN ALASKA. Did Great Damage to Property Only One Life Was Lost. SEATTLE, Wash., Oct. 16. Advices re ceived here today by the Associated Press from Kadiak, Alaska, tell of a series of earthquakes which were felt In that place on October 9. The tremblings began at 2:25 A. M. and lasted at Intervals for six hours. Much" damage was done to prop erty, but only one life was lost, so far as can be ascertained at present . At Karluk, 90 miles from Kadiak, the bark- Meron, loading salmon for San Francisco, broke from' her moorings and was driven on the shore in the flerco storm which accompanied the earth quake. One sailor, name unknown, was drowned) but the rest of the, crew -were saved. The cargo, consisting of 12,500 cases of salmon, was lost. The first shock felt at Kadiak created havoc In the stores' at that place. Trie Alaska,- Commercial Company "lost about $200 worth of drugs. At Wood Island the North American Company lost a quan tity of breakable goodB. The wharf at that place was also destroyed. Other peo ple at the different places also lost break able goods. In all, 27 distinct shocks were felt, and the earth was In a continual tremor for six hours. The first shock was most se vere, lasting three minutes. The vibra tions were from east to west and were accompanied by a low, rumbling sound. AMERICAN SIDE. Mines in Mount ,Balccr District Sur vey by Canadian Government. VANCOUVER, B.'c, Oct 16. The sur vey of the disputed . boundary line at Mount Baker has been completed by Provincial Surveyor Deane. The line places all the mines of Importance m the district on the American side, al though a mile of extra territory is given to British Columbia. The chief Importance of the survey is that a Canadian Government Commis sioner, by locating the boundary line north of the 'mining camps, compels .all Canadians sending In supplies to the camps to pay duty,, and this practically diverts the large trade to mines from Chilli wack, B. C, to Sumas, Wash. ALASKA MURDER AVENGED. Alexander King: Hanged for Killing; Herbert Davenport. SEATTLE, Oct 16. Dawson advices re ceived today tell of the hanging of Alex ander King, October 2, for the murder of Herbert" Davenport" on the" Yukon "River July 15. King passed a good night preced ing the hanging, and-never once showed the slightest sign of fear. He walked ,to the gallows steadily, and required no as sistance at anytime. rHo was cool enough to talk to the hangman in a-Jokirig way while the latter was adjusting the noose. When asked If he had anything to say, he replied: "No, nothing to raise a sensation no lies to tell. Be sure you fix ItMght; 'don't strangle me," he continued to the- hang man. He died without a quiver when the dropwas sprung. ? - Hehaji no property or relatives, so .far asknqwn. He was about EOyears old, and"haot been a prospector'alljhls dlfe.

Steamer With Passengers and Trea's- , nre--Boats In Winter Quarters .SEATTLE, Oct 16 The steamship, Hum boldt arrived today from Skagrway, bring ing $700,000 In Klondike treasure and 200 passengers,' including'a number of prominent-mining operators. Of the gold, the Canadian Bank of Commerce owned a consignment of $506,292 85, sent to the local assay office. J. E.lIcAlpln is owner of .$80,000, and the remainder distributed among a number of passengers. The Humboldt's passengers report that in . Thirty-Mile River, early in October, Benjamin Stone, of Victoria,' mate of the river 'steamer Clifford Slfton, fell over board, and was drowned. Thp body was recovered. All upper river steamers on the Yukon have" gone to Winter quarters except the Bailey;-Sif ton, Ora and Zeolandla, These Intended if possible to make another round trip between White Horse and Dawson before ,tho t close jo navigation. Large' quantities of jlce ore already float ing in the river. ' YUKON TELEGRAPH SYSTEM. Line. of the United States Will Be T ,. i Completed by Christmas, SEATTLE, Oct 16. Advioes from Daw son state that steamers jt in from St. Michael bring word that the 'United States telegraph system, in the Yukon will be completed from Nome to Tanana by Christmas. The line from Dawson north ward to Eagle, on the American side, will be completed a month hence. The line between Dawson, and the outside world will be completed in two weeks. So by Christmas the stretch between Eagle and" Tanana alono will remain to be bulltto connect Nome with the world at large. That stretch is 800 miles. . The United States Gpvernment will dis patch mall from Dawson to Tanana every week this Winter. This will bring Nome materially, nearer thcoutsldo world than it was last Winter. , ' The telegraph constructors of the United States line are scattered along the Yukon from Eagle to Uulato, at the point of be ginning of the overland cut-off to Nome, In numerous crews. One or more crews were seendally by steamers coming up the river. Trying: Experience of Alaslcn Miner. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 16. J. B. Raw lings, a former Inspector of Mines in Utah, who left Seattle for Alaska nearly three years ago, was picked up by the United States steamer Pathfinder two weeks agoat the mouth of Toglac River, Alaska, arid brought to this city. When picked up, Rawllngs was In an exhausted condition. In' company with Frank Weber he started out In a small canoe to reach the schooner Brlnggold, en route to Dutch Harbor.' The canoe was swamped, Weber was drowned, Rawlings' belongings were lost, and T he barely escaped with his life. He wandered for- days across th3 wilds of Alaska, seeking refuge. How many miles he traveled he cannot tell. For days the lost man had nothing to eat but the soft bark of the willow trees that grow In the swampy flats along the rivers, and nothing to drink but snow melted in his mouth. Natives of "Alaska Rapidly Dyinsr. . SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 16. The United States steamship Pathfinder has arrived here from Alaska. For several months the vessel has been engaged in surveylrg work at Norton Bay.

The new train would take the place of one of -the trains now running between Ta coma and Seattle and Tacoma and Gate Cly, on. the Gray's Harbor line, so the additional mileage for the new train will not be great, about 112 miles. The dis tance between Portland and Seattle Is 185 miles by tbe most direct route; via Olympia and Gate City, it would be about 15 miles longer. While the Portland, officials .of the Northern Pacific do not speak so confi dently of the prospect for a third train, no secret is made of the fact that the present trains handle a very heavy pas senger traffic. ' Indeed, nearly half the time train No. 3, arriving in Portland, at 8 P. M., is behind time, and a Btub train is run down from Seattle, so that to this extent there is already three trains on the Pacific division. Tho necessity of at tending to the heavy local business is what puts No. 3 off Its schedule. When it Is three hours or more behind time, the extra train Is brought down from Seattle. Usually passenger business slackens late In the Fall, but this year an unusual ly heavy spurt is expected when the fleet from Nome shall get In. About 20 ves sels are scheduled to bring full loads of passengers back from the , north, and thhso will begin arriving soon, and all will be-in early In November. This is ex pected to make a considerable rush for the transcontinental lines for, a few weeks. It will undoubtedly increase travel between Portland and Puget Sound, though It cannot be that this circum stance figures to any considerable extent in the proposal for new train service. Under the new arrangement, It Is said the dining and- observation cars, now brought into Portland by the North Coast Limited at 7 A. M will be dropped at Seattle on the previous evening and brought through to Portland on the new daylight train, which will serve to relieve the through train of two heavy cars use less at night, and make the new train convenient and popular. Connections for South Bend and Gray's Harbor points will be mado so as to keep Portland on an even footing with Puget Sound towns for trado there. It is said to have been fully decided that the two through trains between Portland and St. Paul will continue through the coming Winter. Hitherto it has been the practice to withdraw one of j these trains for the Winter season, when travel was comparatively light and the difficulty of running trains greatly in creased GREAT NORTHERN'S NEW BiOVE. Hott It Proposes to Do Business on Vancouver Island. The scheme embraced In the Great Northern's application for terminal fa cilities in Victoria and' trackage rights over the lines on Vancouver Island Is of considerable magnitude. The present British Columbia terminus of the Great Northern Is at Liverpool, on the south bank of the Fraser River, near -New Westminster. It has large wharves there, and facilities for handling ffKat quantities "of "freight, which nowbreaks bulk at the dock and goes forward to Vancouver or Victoria by steamer. The train ferry project contemplates the de- livery of freight in Victoria without breaking bulk at all. Trains would be transported by the ferry out the south? ern mouth of tho Fraser across the Gulf of Georgia and through the passages be tween the numerous Islands to S'dney, near the extremity of the Sannlch penin sula and a little less than 20 miles nor h of Victoria. That is the northern termi nus of the Victoria & Sidney railway, which would afford trackage Into Victo ria. From there the Esquimalt & Nnna mo line would give access to the best de veloped part of Vancouver Is'and, north ward about 75 miles to the coal mines of Departure Bay, Wellington, Newcastle and Nanalmo. The ferry trip would he about 60 miles, and Is pronounced to ,be entirely practi cable. No longer train ferries than this are In operation, but one across Lake THE ACADEMIE DE HAS ("THE QUEEN A'holl At the Head of All the Waters Examined for Purity and Freedom from Disease Germs." r Those who subscribe now for the 1901 volume of T Youth's Companion Sending $1.75, a year's sub acriptlon price, with this slip or the name of this publica tion, will receive, YTfiCada a11 1he "mala A i C737 lns.1900 issues from the time of subscription -.

By taking its trains across to Vancouver Island, the Great Northern would make a bold move Into the territory of the Canadian Pacific. There is much speculation as to whether this move of the Great Northern is-made in good faith or is merely an invention to attract attention. Greatest Money-EarniaBT Corporation Chicago Railway Age. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company is now the greatest money-earning corpora tion In the .world. In the 12 months ended on June 20. 1900, the gross earnings of. the system reached the vast sum of $80,304,331, an Increase of $13,1S7,7E6, or nearly 20 per cent over the corresponding period in 1898-99. The London & North western Railway Company, which until recently was at the head of all railways In respect to earning capacity, reported for 'the calendar yeir 1S09 total receipts of $IM,1S7,423. 6r $14,000,000 less than those of the Pennsylvania for the year ended on June 30. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company operates but 27S1 miles, but the system which this company directly oon trols aggregates 10,392 miles, with a pro prietary Interest In a large additional mileage not covered in its reports. Tho London & Northwestern operates only 1928 miles, so that Its earning capacity pe mile of road is vastly greater than that of any American road averaging last year over $34,300 per mile.

The forward end of the car Is equipped with wide vestibule, and the ob servation room has big windows on the sides and large plate glass windows at tho end. Passenger and Ticlcet Asrents. BUFFALO, N.
