WashlnKton. July 21 The Panama
railroad run Klve pointers to any sys
tern In in.; lnlted States on the matter
Of handling a maximum of business on a
minimum lenRth of line. During the
fiscal year of 1907 it handled 43,456
trains over Its 50 miles of line, and
when the work for the present fiscal
year Is summed up it will probably
show that ncarlv 100.000 trains have
been handled. The Isthmian canal com
mission is now hauling not far from
7 Odd trnlnloads of Ulrt a month, and
the Panama railroad Is probably running
50 per cent more trains than It did a
year ago. This would make over 8,000
trains a month on a railroad only 60
miles long. ,
-The ncoulsitlon of the Panama rail
road by the United States Represents Its
first incursion Into toe field of govern
ment ownershln of railroads. When
Uncle Sam bought the holdings of the
French for ftO, 000,000, he got, among
other th niia. the l'anama railroad. L n-
der existing laws the road could not
have been operated on a commercial
basis excent as a nrlvnte corporation
the United States merely owning the
stock, while an operating company,
made up of government officials, would
have conducted its affairs. If it had
been acquired In the usual way every
dollar collected for freight and passen
ger traffic would have had to be turned
mo the treasury, and every dollar paid
out would have had to be appropriated
by congress. Furthermore, wnen trie
Panama Railroad company wanted an
engine, a car. a steel rail, or a dozen
ecei for Its comrnlssarv it' would have
had to advertise for bids.
This led to the present plan, which
uts tne railroad safely beyond the nun
la of red tape that so often hinders
economical methods. The railroad Is
therefore operated Just like any other
railroad, and Its fiscal affairs are con
ducted the same way, except that the
president and thft board of directors do
not own a single share of stock, and
that the Isthmian canal commission is
allowed to run Its trains on the Panama
railroad line.
s. a."
Zone's "P.
One familiar with the Pennsylvania
railroad In the states is forcibly re
minded of It when on the Isthmus. Here
and only the keystone Is missing froirt
the lettering on the freight cars, else
the uninitiated miitht Jump at the con
clusion that the Pennsylvania had ex
tended Its lines to Panama. The coaches
are painted the same cplor, aitd are of
tne same modern design as those or tne
Pennsylvania system. The engines are
of a heavy type, but with small tenders.
No railroad in America ever under
went such wonderful changes in ho
short a time as the Ianama railroad has
undergone. When Colonel Ooethals firtd
went across the ltshmus four years ago
he found the jungle touching boughs
across tne raiiroan, rorming a tree
arched way almost from Colon to Pan
ama, the road bed was then as crooked
as the Chagres river, and that Is the
superlative degree of crookedness. The
builders had followed the line of least
resistance from one side of the Isthmus
to the other, and that classic railroad
Joke about standing on the rear platform
and lighting a cigar from the headlight
of the locomotive might well have been
perpetrated by a passenger on a Panama
rauroaa train.
The rolling stock was antiquated, and
the whole outfit was at least 25 years
behind the time. They did not even
have a telegraph line, but carried 11'.
tle telephone outfits like the one a
"trouble man" carries, and would stop
the train and ring up the dispatchw
whenever they wished.
Purchase of Engines.
When, the United States took hold
there had to be a good railroad. Wal
lace and Stevens each contributed bis
share to making it good. Wallao
bought the heavy engines which were
criticized at the time. Stevens double
tracked the road, established an up-to-date
block system, and In short, turned
over to his sucressors a railroad which
will compare favorably with the aver
age road in this country.
The improved condition of the road
is shown in the increased business H
enjoys. The total earnings for 1907
were almost double those or the pre
vious year, and the indications are that
the annual report of the present fiscal
year win make even a Detter snowing.
The Increase In freight carried was
about 40 per cent, and the passengers
carried in 1907 were about double the
number carried in 190(5. Here again the
indications are that 1908 will set a new
mark. Neerowi do not lose their pro
pensity for travel just because they are

vation to keep It out of the waters of
the Oittun dam. It will require 12,000.
Oim) ruble yards of earth to make the
necessary fills, and nearly all of this
will come from the canal prism. The
fills will represent a pile of dirt UP
proximately one fifteenth as much as
will have been taken out of the canal
from the time the Freneh, under e
Lcsseps, turned the first shovel of
earth. lUitl! the ships are ready to sail
through the channel.
Plrst Days of Line.
The rush of gold seekers to Cali
fornia led to (lie building of the, rail
road across the Isthmus. William H
splnwall, in whose Honor Colon was
named ANDlnwaJI, and some other New
York capitalists got the money together,
and then secured the necessary con
cession from the New (Jranadlan gov
ernment. This concession was after
ward made to run 1 1 H years by the
Colombian government. When t lie
French Cunal rumiuny decided to build
the canal they bought ihe railroad,
acquiring si xt y-elgli t-scvent id hs of the
stock, paying JUfiO per share for It,
after tne American stockholders hail
stripped the company of lis cash In
other words the transaction netted the
American- stockholders J.'yi per share
at a, time when it had been Helling at
but little above par.
When the road was completed the
first-class fare across the Isthmus was
$25 In gold. Baggage was charged for
at the rate of 10 cents per pound, and
If a passenger carried an overcoat or
an umbrella, whether he took It with
him Into tile coach or not, he had to
pay baggage rates for It. Kresidents
of the Isthmus were given monthly
passes upon tha payment of $50 flat.
First-class freight was carried at $3
per hundrenwelght.
When the Americans took charge the
Fas.-enger rate across the Isthmus was
5; today It Is $2.40. It now costs more
to check one's baggage across the
Isthmus than It does to buy a first
class ticket. A trunk weighing 1,'0'
pounds will cost $3, while a first-class
ticket costs a half dollar less. A falr
slsed suitcase will be taJten across at
a cost of $1. I
The intention of the United Stntes Is
to maintain the Panama railroad as an
adjunct to the canal. The tourist who.
In the coming days, does not wish to
spend some ten hours going through
the big ditch can take a train which
will carry him across In a few hours
Tbe stnetglc Importance of having
means or rapid communication on the
Isthmus Is perhaps the Impelling motive
or tne government in preparing a mod
ern. well-equipped permanent railroad
along the canal.

Last year one fourth of all the high

reason to believe that an even greater

the number of graduates Is nearly a
half larger thiin last year. Another

Oakland. Cal., July 21. Accused of
habitual Intemperance by his wife, Ed-
t-'ar A. Mllnor Is today suing for divorce
m a cross-complaint in which he alleges
that be was forcod to resign his posi
tion in the Portland schools because of
the humiliation and disgrace heaped
upon him by the waywardness of his
spouse. He was formerly principal at
the Chatsworth grammar schools near
,os Angeles and at one time a resident
of Seattle.
Mllner went to Portland in 1897 and
taught In the schools there, until 1900,
when, he alleges, he was forcod to leave
because of the conduct of his wife. Go
ing to Chatsworth Park he taught In
the grammar schools from July 31, 1900,
to June 20. 1907. He then came to Oak
land, where he remained a short time
and then moved to Seattle.
While they were living at WoodJawn,
a Portland suburb, Mllner alleges, he
discovered his wife was visiting cafes.
Stories about her got Into general circu
lation, he says, and caused him to hand
In his resignation and leave the- city.
His health was broken and he was
forced to take medical treatment while
he was here.
After going to Seattle. Mllner says,
his wife sent him frequent appeals for
money, representing that her daughter
had appendicitis.
Mllner is the third husband of the
woman is suing for divorce. He says
he but recently heard that under the
name of Mrs. Clara Williamson she was
married to Charles Pogard. a Southern
Pacific conductor.
Mrs. Mllner has two children, a daugh
ter, Mrs. Cecile Dumarls, 22 years old.
and H son, Wayland, 19, by her first
husband, Williamson.
In connection with these children Mll
ner tells of an exciting experience. He
says when he upbraided his wife on
one occasion the son hit him with a
heavy coffee cup and the daughter at
tacked him with a knife.
Mllner is well remembered In Port
land, having for a number of years been
principal of the Woodlawn school, which
