Ilarrlnian's AKirrrnslve Polley. Harrlman announce a cham;'! of policy in the Union Pacific pome time ago. and this is being carried out. The firt work I none ny itarrinian after acquiring this great artery of tho natioli was to improve the main line so the traiiscontinenf al ton- nage could be hauled at the least expense. To do this he spent Jll.OO.0Oij building bet ter roads In Wyoming, and ran his track In a straight lino across Bait iAke at a cost of KOnO.OOO to save forty-three miles. He Is spending $3,500,000 rtsjht under the eyea of the citizens of Omaha to save ten I miles of an ox-low Into Sarpy county. He j Is spending millions In doubu? tracking this ' main line, and as this work Is progressing lie rjas decided to build feeders for his main artery and to try- to develop the agricul tural country along the line of the 1'nion Paclflo. I his strife for the Vuslness of the west has made many changes in tho railroad maps of the country in the lust few yc-rs. Hill controls to- the north und Harrlman lontrqls through the central west., but George Gould la not to be outdone and U building a line .which .will have few grades and which will give the Gould system Its own rails from coast to coast, from Balti more to Ban Francisco. The Western Pa cific Is being built as fast as money and the laborers hich can be secured cun build It. A scarcity of labor Is holding work tack, and It has been estimated that it would lake 60.0MO additional men to meet the de mands of the west for laborers for railroad work. George Gould said wljile in Omaha . the other day th&t he was building a road . which woulube a surprise to many. Uarrlmaa Outlet to South.

A lino was needed to the south, however, for. the grain which this groat agricultural belt produce and Harrlman was figuring on building a line of his own. This would- have .been ready, for some of the business which'' tho Panama . canal would be euro to bring to the southern towns. There Is nd dntibttbo southern gateways will bo of greater Importance with the completion of the canal, for roany boats from across tho Pacific will un doubtedly, be . unloaded at the southern ports, and -these cities being nearer by rail than tho eaM or the west ports to the great middle west will furnish an Im mense amount of traffic to the. porth and south railroads.. Klnre Harrlman has gained control of, the Illinois Central, which completes a north and south line for hi in and connects the eastern terminus of his Union Paclflo and (Southern Pacific roads, he may abandon the plan of building the line from Kansas City south. Residents In the grain belt had hoped this road would be built, for It would provide a direct outlet for the resources ot this state and Kansas. From Onlaha to Kaasaa City. Within two years the Union Pacific will have a good line between Omaha and Kansas city, a line which will pass throifgh tho oupltals of both Kansas und Nebraska In making the trip, and the line la being built of he heaviest material mid on a par .with tho renowned main line between Omaha and Ogden. A new line is betng built across country from Topeka to Maryvllle. and the line from Marvvllle to Lincoln Is being rebuilt and put above tho reach of water. The greatest help to Omaha Is the air line which will bo built between Lincoln and Omaha. Engineers of the Union Paclflo have made three sur veys on this to try., to get a short line Railroad construction In the United States, Canada and Mexico exceeds all estimates this year and what the Increased mlleagn. will be for 1907 no one seem to want to hazard. That it will be enormous as compared with previous ears no one seems to doubt and that it will run to tens of thousands of -miles In these three countries stems certain. - This-, for steam roads alone, and besides thousands of miles of street-railways will be built. The de mands on the steei mills, furnaces and mines for the supplies of materials- can be readily seen In advance to be of record breaking proportions. It Is estimated that the construction work of three or four of the large systems wMl exceed in 1117 the entire construction work in tne t'nlted States of any year of the last decade. Harrlman is doing the most work In Mexico in the construction of the Bonora and the Hlo Yaaul dc Pacific Millions for Improvements. Itenides the new construction the rail roads are spending millions In improving their property. Aa Instance of that Is seen In Omaha, where the Union Paclflo la spending 5,0uu,000 at , the present time. A complete automatic; block system wlU fcoou be In operation on the- Northwestern s dc utile track line between Omaha and Chi cago and during the next year the Union 1'aclflc will build over 4u0 mile of additional track between Omaha and Wyoming. The business demands it, for without the double trtL''k th roads would soon be congested with the Increase of business which every monthly report of 'the roads show. The Harrlman lima between Omaha and Ban Francisco will soon be fitted with lbe UtuM Uctrtc: block systtmis. All these Improve, meats are being made In the great fight for supremacy In the west.

Secre tary Taft. who returned today , from his Inspection trip .to western forts, ssjs he round Fort D. A. Russell, Wyo., amply pro vided with all the land necessary for the accommodation of a full brigade and with ample room for exercises and maneuvers. There are fcOOO acres of land at the post and another reservation of J2.0TO acres, distant thirty miles, where maneuver were held this falTi Cutting across the country the ps-rjy struck the railroad 100 miles to the north and came to Fort Robinson, Nob. This- post has 10.000 acres with another reservation of 12,000 acres, distant twelvo miles. Sftcretary Taft concluded that It will bo necessary to purchase the Inter vening ground to mako this a brigade post. Fort Sheridan, near Chicago, " was next Inspected and Incidentally the secretary looked into a complaint that the target j range there was' an Injury to adjoining private property. The secretary concluded that Fort Sheridan could not properly bo mode, a brigade post, owing to the limited sixo of the reservation; the high price of the adjoining land that would have to be acquired; and other considerations. There la no Intention, however, of abandoning the post, which will be maintained on a regimental basis. At Fort Leavenworth the secretary saw 2.X00 men Under arms. The reservation of MOO acres Is too small for a brigade pout, hut Secretary Taft believes It wlil be pos sible td purchase additional ground at a reasonable price, making the post largo enough for a brigade, while the troops could have fhclr maneuvers at Fort RUcj-, not far distant. Bis; Reserve at Port Hlley. The secretary was particularly pleased with Fort Riley With Its .X acres at the postj and a fine plant already accommodat ing a regiment of field artillery,. a regiment of cavalry and a battalion of engineers, so that the place Is already under brigade basis, congress, having allotted money to build headquarters lor an engineer depart ment. . At Fort Sill, Okl., the secretary found the largest army reservation, save one. namely, Fort Aaslnabolne. Fort Sill has 6,000 acres at. the post and the troops have the use of the 40,000 sores comprised In the adjoining Wichita mountain forest re serve. There are accommodations for only a squadron at the post now, but it will be enlarged In view of the .splendid location, the good water and other advantages. At this post are the 238 Oeronlme Apaches, technically prisoners of war. At, present a majority of older Indians are anxious to return to their old homes In Arlsona and New Mexloo, but the younger men de sire to remain -where they are.
