When the talk turns from politics to railroads,
and the traveler with the cocksure air breaks
in with, '.'There's an awful lot of 'water' in
the railroads," here are some hard-pan facts
to give him:
American railroads have cost $80,900 a mile
roadbed, structures, stations, yards, termin
als, freight and passenger trains everything
from the great city terminals to the last spike.
A good concrete-and-asphalt highway costs
$36,000 a mile just 'a bare road, not count
ing the cost of culverts, bridges, etc
Our railroads couldn't be daplicated to
day for $150,000 a mile.
They are capitalized for only $71,000 a mile
much less than their actual value. Seventy-one
thousand dollars today will buy one locomotive.
English railways are capitalized at $274,000 a
mile; the French at $155,000; German $ 132,000;
even in Canada (still in pioneer development)
they are capitalized at $67,000 a mile. The
average for all foreign countries is $100,000.
Low capitalization and high operating effici
ency have enabled American Railroads to pay
the highest wages while charging the lowest
rates.

I left oyer the Northern Pacific 10
i days ago, expecting to join Thomas
i Yallup, a prominent Yakima Indian,
; at Pasco.

having blown out the gas, according
i to information reaching the agency.
; Whether Yallup was with him or he
; was making the trip alone has not
been determined. His body will be
sent here for burial.

ho was also known, lived on hia land
inout one mile Eouih of Adams. He

land in that section and also had an

ints, a Msler of the late Chief Umap
Ine, and a 1 5-ye'ir-old-d;ughter, Jo
sephine, who is attending the Catho

"He was wealthy, very smart and
very shrewd," Major Lee Moorehouse
former Indian agent said of Yumsnm
kin today when appraised of his un
timely end. "He always held onto
hiit land and wanted the other In
dian to do likewise. He wa on his
vay to Washington to personally seek
relief from the iystem which allow!
(lie Indiana to noil out and then find
themselves without Innd or money."
