Make a Direct Saving In Cost of Trans

Indirectly Serve to Lower Railway
Carrying Rotco.
Tho clulm has been made In previ
ous articles and facto and figures
glvon to support the claim that wa
terways carry freight, morn cheaply
than tho railways do or enn, and that
thoy compol the railways to carry
frelfjht more cheaply than they, other
wise would, malting a saving of hun
dreds of nilllioiiH of dollars a year, oven
under present conditions, and indicat
ing n vast Increapo i . that wiving if all
waterways should bo Improved. And
then tho surprising assertion was
mado that the surest way to enlarge
the business and Increaso the profits
of tho railroads or tho I'ultcd Htutcs
Is to Improvo tho waterways of tho
United States. Tho best guide to tho
future Is tho experience of tho past,
so let us see what has actually hap
pened to railways when waterways
have been Improved.
That the improvements in the chan
nels and harbors of the lakes lmvo
been of great benefit, both to tho rail
ways which parallel their shores and
to those which run from lake ellles to
the Interior, Is a fact so plain that
It needs no argument to support It
There aro no moro prosperous and
profitable roads in tho country than
those that servo the region tributary,
to the lakes. Hut no ono qucstlotH
tho wisdom of continuing tho improver
metat of tho lakes, or of our ocean
harbors.. The real question Is ns to
tho improvement of our rivers, and if
wo, wish to study tho effect of river
Improvement, either on railway reve
nues or national development, we
must go to Europe. ' '
Results In Bohemia. 1
During the fifteen years that Im
provements were under way on the
Elbe river, in Bohemia, the rivor traf
flc, as n natural result of the better
channel, Increased fivefold. But traf
fic on the competing railways In
creased still moro largoly and the div
idends on tho main line, from Teplltz
to Ausslg, rose to 16 per cent, per
annum.
Similar results followed the canali
zation of tho River Main, from May
ence, on tho Rhine, to Frankfort,
which was finished in tho latter part
of 188G. The river traffic, which
amounted to only 150,000 toitB In that
your, began to grow and has kept on
growing, being 1,273.000 tons in 1902.
Tliero are two railroads between
Frankfoit and Mayenco, one on each
side of tho river. What happened to
them? Did their business show u se
rious falling off? Or were they forced
Into tho hands of a receiver? On the
contrary their traffic, which was 911,
000 tons In 18SC, also begun to grow,
und by 1902 hud reached 1,909,000
tons, or more than double what it was
when the railroads had a practical
monopoly of tho business of Frank
fort. The more statement of the In
creased tonnage does not tell the
whole truth of tho matter, for the
tonnage was not only more than
doubled In quautlty, but greatly
railed In grade, so that It could pay,
and did pay, a much hlghor rate per
ton per mile.
Fine Qerman Waterway .
Practically all the railways of Ger
many are atate owned and state oper
ated. Out of a total of 35,000 mtlea,
In round numbers, only about 2,500
miles are operated by private com
panies. Germany also has one of tha
finest systems f waterways In the
world, and n study of the balauce
sheet of tho German railway system
shows that tho results which followed
tho improvement of tho River Main
are not an exception, a mere coinci
dence, but aro tho natural outworking
of a principle of gencrul application.
In tho calendar year 1907. after paying
for operation, maintenance, repairs,
renewals, new equipment, Intero t on
bondb, contribution to tho sinking
fuud, and every other item which tho
most careful bookkeeping required to
bo charged up, tho Gorman railways
turned $10,000,000 of absolutely not
revenues Into the treasuries or tho
various states. This was $." 050 per
mllo of lino operated, while tho corre
sponding figure on United Slates rail
ways for tho fiscal year lflOd-7 was
only $1,907 a little over one third as
much.
Much the greater part of the total
revenuo of tho German stales h de
rived from their railways, 7l cents out
of every dollar received by l'nth-la in
1907 being so obtained. Vol German
statesmen keep on, year afier .ar,
spending money earned by their rail
ways in building and Improving water
ways to compete with those same rail
ways, on which thoy depend as tho
principal source of national Income.
In tho light of tho facts given abovo
It will not do to say that theso Ger
man statesmen do not know what thoy
arc about. On tho contrary, thoy are
acting, as has been woll said, "In fur
therance of a policy the wisdom of
which tlmo and experience have fully
confirmed."
Always nnd everywhere tho result
Is tho same the Imptovoment of a
waterway Is a benefit to competing
railways. For this result, ns for any
other, thero Is a good and uuiTJclent
j reason, but it must bo left for anutlior
tlmo to tell what that reason Is.
IT IS not many years since "Kitchen Furnishings"
1 would have been a ridiculous phrase, for at that
time there were no conveniences in kitchen furnish
ings. But today there are cabnets, ranges and vari
ous articles thathelp to make a back number of the
old adage "Womans work is never done".

Cabnet and Scotch Linoleum.
- -
We wish to call your attention to a few facts about our Scotch
Linoleum. FIRST It is far more plyablc than the Linoleum made
in this country. SECOND It is still plyable in cold weather.
THIRD It does not roll or hump up in creeses.
FOURTH The predominating color of the pattern goes through to
the back while the domestic Linoleum will crack more easily and
the pattern wears off twice as quick and leaves you a dusty red
floor covering.
