CARRYING GOSPEL TO'MINERS
Pittsburg Evangellats Have Novel Plan
for Religious Work In the Depths
of th Earth.
Tho carrying pf tho Oopel hundiods
of foot underground to miners tolling
In tho darkness and gloom with their
picks and shovels is the Intost scheme
of tho Pittsburg ovangellntlc commit
too. This movement Is without precedent
In tho history of tho rcllglotiH world.
It will be enthusiastically backod by
moro than a score of men prominent
In tho business, financial and profes
sional wnlks of life of that city.
No mine In the Pittsburg district
will be overlooked. It is expected to
havo a largo onough band of workers
engaged to enable tho committee to
tako tho Gospel down tho various
BliafU beforo long. It is expected to
havo tho Gospel workers enter tho
mines during tho mining hours and
maki! their way through the various
passages, leaving pamphlets nnd cards
w.lth tlfo workers.
, ,AtjLho noon hour an. open air meet
ing .will be held. Addresses will ho
made to tho minors In different
tongues by evangelists of their own
nationality.
"Pins and Needles."
After being for a long time In a
constrained attitude a peculiar numb-',
ness and prlcklnr is often folt in tho
arm, leg or, foot. This Is caused by'
some interruption to thn circulation
1 and can usually be removed by rub
bing or exercise.
The reason pf the vensatlou, which
In decidedly ItncomfortahtA wlill I!
I larts, Is that pressure for a certain,
length of time deadens the senatbll-l
ity of a nerve. When this pressure!
Is suddenly removed (an straighten
ing out the leg after sitting, with it
doubled underneath the body) sensi
bility gradually returns to tho ncrvo,
and as each nerve-fiber composing
the trunk regains its normal condi
tion of sensibility a pricking sensa-
i Hon Ih fell, and these successive prick
ings fioui the successive awakenings
I of the numerous fibers have not In
aptly beef) called "plus nml needles"

EFFECT OF WATERWAY COMPETL
TION ON THE RAILWAYS OF
THE COUNTRY.
DIRECT AND INDIRECT SAVING
Conssrvatlve Ectlmatc Is That In a
Single Year It Would Be More Than
Enough to Dlschargo the Entire Na
tional Debt.
It was fclaled In a previous nitlclo
that waterway produce both dlreei
and Indirect ;,vlut?s In the am of
transpnt-lii Inn and n'tio ert what
may he called a cn-atlvo efTect. A-i
an liibtniice of The direct savins It
was shown that the 1 00,000,000 tons of
fi eight handled on tho great lakes
In 1907 were carried for ICiO.OOO.OOO
less than It would h.ivc cost by rail.
If the opinion of the United Htntes
army engineers Is correct and this
opinion Is based upon rosults actually
achieved on tho rivers of tiuropc
we havo a number of rivers on which,'
when properly Improved, freight can
bo carried for less than an the lakes
and mnny rivers on which It can bo
carried for much less than by rail.
If, therefore, the plan advocated by
the National III vers nnd Harbors
congress should ho carried out which
Includes the Improvement of nil our
rivers to such extent as shall bo found
ndvisnblo after expert examination
tho direct saving in cost of transporta
tion would be vastly Increased. It
would probably be Increased tenfold,
but If it were only doubled tho direct
saving in a slnglo year would ho moro
than enough to pay off the national
debt.
But this is not the end of tho bouu
llts which the general Improvement of
our waterways would bring, It Is only
tho beginning. Ileslde the direct sav
ing there Is nn indirect saving which
results from the effect of waterways
on- railway freight rates, for rates
are 'always lower on railroads which
meet water competition than on thoso
which do not, The amount of tnls savt
Ing lo not everywhere the same, owjng.
to difference in conditions, but we
can get ft good general Ideu of It from
h study of some sumplo insianwejiCw )
Freight Ratea Affected. '
Freight rates from New York "to
Salt Iako or Spokane are much high
er than to San Francisco or Seattle,
although the dlstnnco Is much loss, be
cause goodB can be carried to the Pa
cific coust by water, around Cape
Horn, while there Is no waterway of
any kind to the Inland cities named.
It is not the ocean alone that affects
railroad rates. Compare the rates on
lirst class merchandise to river towns
and inland towns situated about 250
miles from St. Louis. Towns on the
upper Mississippi get a rate of S!i
cents a hundred, Inland towns pay fill
cents: towns on the Ohio pay II emits,
inland U) ns In the same region
pay S7
A still more sti Iking Instance, and
one hhov. lug the direct result of wa
terway Improvement, Is to be found
ou the Columbia river. lief ore the
locks at tho cuscades were built
freight rates on nails, and that class
of goods, from Portland to Tho Dalles
were $G.40 per ton. As soou as the
locks were finished and the steam
boats could get through, the railroad
rate dropped to two dollars per ton
less than one-third what it was before.
That the difference waa due to tho
river improvement is shown by the
fact that rates were not reduced be
yond the point to which the steam
boats could run. For Instance, the
rate ou suit in car load lots was J 1.50
per ton to The Dalles, and $10.20 per
ton to I'matllla $1.50 per ton for the
H8 miles with water competition nnd
$8.70 per ton for the next 100 miles
without. These rates have since been
reduced as the Improvement has pro
ceeded, and when the work Is llnlshed
and boats can run fur up the Colum
bia river and to Lewlston nnd other
point In Idaho ou Its principal tribu
tary, the Snake river, tho people In
all that region will benefit not only
by iho direct saving on goods carried
by water, but also by the indirect sav
ing through the reduced rate on goods
carried by rail. Kxactly similar re
sults would follow the radical im
provement of rivers all over the United
States.
Indirect Saving Large.
There Is, however, no possible way
of finding out Just how much this in
direct saving -would be. Hates onsomo
freight would be reduced greatly, on
some freight slightly, ou some, per
haps, not nt all. Hut wo enn get some
Idea of tho amount of freight which
might bo iulluenced. In the lineal,
year ending June DO, 1007, the total
amount of freight handled by the
railroads of tlie I'nlted States was
lJitC.MO.Orj'J tons. Some of this was
hauled n short dlstatico, some a long
distance, and some was handled by
moro than one road, but it vas equul
u .ouuutrju,iu,i ions named one
utile. If tho comprehensive Impiove
mem of our waterways should make
nn average reduction of ono mill per
ton-mile tho difference In Hie rates
on salt given above Is 70 times as
much, or seven cents per ton mile I.
would make a saving of oVor $23G,C0O
000 on tho value of business handled
In the fiscal your. r
At first glance, it looks us if thnt
would mean disaster to tho rallways
but that Ib the exact opposite of tho
truth. Strango ns it may seem, the
Rurost and speediest way to enlarge
tho business and lncreaso tho profits
of tho railways of thd UtjUed Stages
is to improvo tho waterways of the
united StatcB.
