Fir Railroad R lilt In Korea Was by Americans In 1897-99, and Ameri can Capital and Material Will En ter Largely Into the Thousands of Mi leu or Railroads Now Building j and Projected Nearly Nine Miles of Railroad Bridges. Tokio, May 5. One of the chief features of the opening up of Korea to foreign trade Is the building of a system of railroads through the "Her mit Nation," which the Japanese have undertaken. When these facilities for the transportation of goods and pas sengers have been provided, it Is be lieved that Korea will become an im portant center for the extension of trade in the Far East and the little peninsula will assume a prominent position, commercially, which will at tract the Berious attention of the world of business. The Seoul-WIJu railroad-was opened for traffic on December 1. last. The Japanese had constructed in 13 months 310 miles of railroad, a feat of which they are with good reason, no little proud. Immediately after the beginning of the war with Russia, they had begun the work on this line and it Is now practically completed. Yonssan, a little village on the banks of the river Han, two miles from .Seoul, to the southwest. Is to bo the future railroad center of Korea. Here 165 acres of land have been set aside as a railroad reservation, and the line for WIJu and the new road to Gansan, the principal port on the east coast, start from this point. The Seoul-Fusan and the Seoul-Chemulpo roads Join with these for through connection, the trains of all four running to the capital on com mon tracks. It is intended, further, to run a broad gauge road over the route followed by the military line from Antung to Fang Weng Cheng and beyond, and to bridge the Yalu at a point above that place. With tracks laid from Antung to Mukden, the rail way In northern Korea will become a section of the great trunk line. The total of the new roads to date has been, roughly estimating, about S15.000.040, and an additional 110. 000,000 and four years' work will be required to put the lines Into final shape. While at present but one tun nel, 657 feet long, has been construct ed there will eventually be 18, with a total length of 18,860 feet. The standard gauge, 4 feet tM Inches, has been used for the Seoul-Wiju and Seoul-Gensan railroads, as for oth;r railroads In Korea and this fact fur nlshes a striking example of the gen cral Introduction of American meth ods and materials where once a foot ng hns been obtained. The American Trading Company built the first railroad in Korea In 1897-99, using the American gauge, American engines and American cars and materials throughout, and the Japanese bought out the original con cessionaires and, to insure uniformity, built on the same lines. Of the 60 pound rails used some came from Ger many, but most of them came from the Carnegie works In this country. The ties came largely from the United States and the spikes from the Illinois Steel company. The bridges are now chiefly of wood and built on piles. Their total length Is 44.80') feet, the longest being 2785 feet. The construction has been very difficult, owing to shifting bottoms, swift currents and frozen streams In winter, ice floes in spring and the summer floods. The greatest obstacles were met at Anju. where two rivers met. The bridge materials are large ly American, although Borne were im ported from England and the Osaka Steel company of Japan supplied a rr.iall proportion. RIG SWINDLE AT STANFORD. Pretentious Huildlngs Were Very Poorly Constructed. A news Item from Stanford univer sity, at Palo Alto, C'al., says: The dilapidated condition of the one time splendid buildings of the Ice land Stanford Jr., university, as a re sult of the earthquake Is the subject of uncomplimentary discussion by members of the faculty. Some of the professors hint that the earthquake has shown that the buildings were ln- dequately constructed and give weight to a rumor current In Palo Alto during the past three years that the specifications for the proposed magnificent buildings and arches were Ignored In an effort to erect preten tious but In reality cheap and ginger bread structures. Six million dollars were set aside to construct the library, the museum and memorial church. Experts who have viewed the ruins of these buildings declare that they could not have cost more than three million dollars. for pulling the train; that in our houses ordinarily not more than one seventh of one per cent of the fuel en ergy is actually transformed Into elec tric light; that gases from the blast furnaces of the country are now lost In the atmosphere that would yield continuously, If properly utilized, more than 2.500.000 horse-power; and that by-products might be saved from the 40,000,000 tons of coal which we now convert Into coke, that would have an aggregate yearly value much greater than of the coke Itself. These by-products would Include ammonium-sulphates sufficient to fer tilize our farms, creosotes for the pres ervation of our timber, and pitch enough to briquet our slack coals, roofing our houses and repairing some of our roads. How appalling that such waste should continue after we know that It exists. Unfortunately. It is not always clear even to those who best understand the nature and uses of coal how such economies may be effected. No methods, for Instance, are known by which more than one sixth of the nitrogen In ,coal can be saved in the manufacture of coke. There is no subject touching the wel fare of the human race on which re searc his more needed than economy In the use of fuel. Drove HOW FUEL IS AVASTED. Statistics Interesting and Alarming Are Presented. Washington, D. C, May 4. The re port of the geological survey of the United States, Just Issued, contains some interesting facts In regard to the terrific waste of fuel In this country, which statements axe of special Inter est owing to the probability of a gen eral coal strike In the near future. After Mating that the people of the United States expend approximately 11,600,000,000 a year for fuel for the production of heat, light and power, the report says: The losses In the utilization of fuel for the development of power, light and heat under existing conditions are so great that In a ton of coal energy Is available for the actual work of manufacturing; that In any ordinary locomotive only from three to five' per cent of the fuel energy 1 obtained I.eulHton School Statistics. There are 28 teachers In the Lewis ton public Bchools and the aggregate of their salaries Is nearly 12200 n month. The current expenses per month for running the schools Is from 12750 to $3750. It has now been two months Blnce the Smith report was made and the expenditures as shown by Treasurer Thompson's report have been $3756.- 38 for March and $2728.73 for April The receipts for March were $4411.38 and those for April were $844.89. The receipts for March were swelled by the tax money amounting to $1207.91, by license money $1940.77 and $1050 from J. W. Poe on account. The April receipts were light, but In May the license money alone will amount to something like $3400. The balance on hand March 24 was only $1127.02, but $3400 will be re celved from the county licenses this week, making a balance sufficient to carry the school to the cloBe of the year. With the demand for new ward schools and additional teachers It Is estimated that the salary list alone for the next school year will reach $3000 per month.

Babies a whole tralnload of them dear, sweet, cooing little things. some of them rosy and happy in spite of excitement and exposure, others thin, pale and drawn, showing too Plainly the misery that has already come Into their little lives, says the Denver Post. Think of it! A tralnload of babies from the Golden West, some of them minus their mothers, and others sent away for safekeeping until the worst is over. i'retty, blue-eyed babies, with soft, fluffy, golden hair, and oth ers dark-eyed little darlings with scarcely enough clothing to cover them, are coming to voice their appeal In baby shrieks and cries and Just watch and see what the generous- hearted people of Denver are going to do for them. "A tralnload of babies tonight at 10 o'clock. Have good supply of clothing ready," was the telegram which came to C. L. Varney, In charge of the relief work at the Union sta tion this morning, and promptly deft hands were at work preparing dainty white nighties and wrappers for the tiny things so helpless and appealing, By tonight It is hoped that gar ments enough to outfit 500 babies will be at relief headquarters, and It Is certain that enough to go a good ways with tho work will be In readiness. The babies who come to Denver to seek shelter under the smiling Colo rado skies are the little ones from the foundling asylums which were tern porarlly established at San Francisco Immediately after the disaster. The nurses who have them in charge came all the way from the Pacific coast to find a place of safety for their little charge.. The foundling asylums looked after tho stray waifs and numerous babies that made their appearance during the excitement, and now they are all on the road to comfort. Mothers may yet get trace of their offspring and the babies are kept together with this Idea In view. As soon as the tiny morsels of hu manlty reach Denver they will be taken to the nursery which the Wo man's club haB provided at Nineteenth and Wewatta streets, and there they will be washed and made ready to start again on the trip In case that Is the plan. Hero the clothing will be In readiness for them, and plenty of It, too. If this appeal reaches Denver women in time. THE COMMISSION MEN'S TRVST WILL HAVE A RIVAL. Found, at Fergy's, Kaiser', dog.
