Railway Statistics for 1915 Z
Fewer miles of new railroad were built in the United States during 1915 than in any other
year for over 50 years, or since 1864, and more
miles of jailroad were in receivers' hands during the year than ever before, according to the Railway Age Gazette's summary of its railway
statistics for the year,, compiled from official sources and published in its annual review number. There have been only three other years since 1848 when the increase in railway mileage was less than 1,000 miles and they were the
Civil war years of 1861, 1862 and 1864. V In 1915 the total mileage of new railroad con structed in the United States was 933, as com
pared with 1,532 in 1914 and 3071 in 1913. There
was also a large reduction in the mileage of second track built. In addition to the new line
there was built 356 miles of second track, as com
nared with 565 miles in 1914. and 1.264 in 1913.
and 65 miles of third track, fourth or other
multiple track, making a total of 1,354 miles of
track, as compared witn z,izy in iyj.4 and 4,w

were buiir m 37 states while none was built in li states. Canadian roads built 718 miles of new first track, as compared with 1,978 in 1914. In Mexico 36.5 miles of new line was built as against none reported for 1914. In commenting on these figures the Railway Age "Gazette says in part : "The extreme situation which has existed is not attributable to general business depression, for the general depression has not been as profound as it was in the 70's or the 90's. It is not attributable to the war, for the decline in railway building began long before the war. The "outgo of the roads has been increased enormously .by advances in wages and taxes and by regula-
wvjh kjj im- o Let auu uaiiiuiiai guvci IllllCltbO.
Their total earnings have been restricted by reg
ulation of their rates by the state and national governments. Ground between these upper and nether millstones the income available for in
terest and dividends has tended downward for i over nine years. It has not become relatively as
small as in some earlier periods, but in those periods the roads were not subjected as they are now, to regulation, one of the main avowed pur
poses of which is to restrict their net earnings.
In consequence, in those' earlier periods capitalists and railway managers were encouraged to, continue to4 rrmke in vestments in . permanent improvements and in new lines by the hope and expectation that y after the depressions had passed away they ..would be able to make large prof its which would more than .offset the losses
incurred in bad times.' The -present system of regulation has effectively discouraged such hopes and expectations. The situation which actually exists, demonstrates beyond., question that capitalists are not disposed to invest in railways." Educational Co-operation. ' The appeal of the school authorities asking that business men and manufacturers co-operate in enrolling students in the night courses deserves to be heeded. There are hundreds of young men and girls in the stores and factories of Richmond whose worth to themselves and to their employers will be increased wonderfully if they enroll in the night courses. ;
The plan of study is so arranged that men and women whose schooling has been neglected or in
terrupted may obtain the training they lack,
Whenever an employe develops the resources of his mind, the employer indirectly becomes the
beneficiary. Business men and manufacturers
might do well to call on their young men and women and ask them to take advantage of the
courses.

Lord Derby's Recruiting Plan.
The failure of Lord Derby's plan to recruit enough men in Great Britain to answer the need
of the military authorities has forced the British
cabinet to advocate a modified conscription plan which has aroused intense opposition in Ireland
and in many parts of Great Britain proper. "Derby's plan" has caused so much discussion in Great Britain and in America that an exposition of its scope follows : ,
When Lord Derby was put in charge of the recruiting in England he outlined a plan by which men might volunteer for immediate or subsequent service. The recruits who enlisted for service at a later date were divided into groups. Those who enlisted for immediate service at the regulation army recruiting posts were sent into training at once. Preference was given to single men. Those who enlisted under the group system for service were divided into "starred" and "unstarred" men. The "starred" men were the ones unfit for active service, but who could be in the arsenal or elsewhere under the direction of the war office. The "unstarred" men were the ones available for use as soldiers at the front. In calling up the groups of "unstarred" men the youngest unmarried men will be called upon first, the married men being left till the last.
Y Walter 1 Ratliff Is "one' of the nearly 150,000 volunteer crop reporters and special correspondents now aiding the bureau of crop estimates of the -department in the preparation of its estimates of crops and live-stock pro
duction of the country, according to the annual report of the bureau which has Just been issued.. The actual number of these volunteer assistants is 147,327. In addition, there are 151 paid employes in the service of the bureau. The total appropriation for the work for the fiscal year ending June 3G, 1915, was 1275,580. The bureau has enlarged its work during the fiscal year by assigning one of Its employes to the work of investigating truck crops. The crops for which "acreage estimates were undertaken by this specialist include watermelons, cantaloupes, cabbages, onions, early potatoes, tomatoes and strawberries. Other crops are to be added as the work progresses.
It reads as follows In designating the tract: "The southwest quarter of Section 29v Township .14, Range 1, west of the meridian line running from the mouth of the Kentucky river in lands of the United States in territory northwest of the Ohio." " The original owner rode on horseback to Cincinnati to secure the patent, which was sent to that city from Washington. The ownership of the land has passed down through - three generations of Ratliff s, each of whom has had the surname of Cornelius.

At Movies Tonight
ARCADE. Director Collins, who supervised the production of "Children of Eve" the Edison drama released through the Kleine-Edison Feature Service and billed as the chief attraction at the Arcade tonight, needed four pushcart men for a certain scene, and sought them on the lower East Side of New York. They happened to be thrifty and their carts were well stocked with novelties and necessities that find ready sale in tht part of the city. In the scene they .were supposed to do a thriving business in a very, very busy street. Mr. Collins had engaged forty or forty-five young folks to enact the role of purchasers, but neglected to stipulate that the transactions were only "make believe." and that all articles supposedly bought , from the pushcart merchants were to be returned. Now he's sorry he neglected to make that stipulation because the "buyers" depleted the four stocks of merchandise in Jig time, and what is more to the point, forgot to return the neckties, hose, ' etc.' to the pushcart venders, who when they received only pay for their services, made a vigorous protest and explanations followed. Mr. Collins is now familiar with pushcart prices at a cost of $27.00. The production of hemp in China, the original home , of the hemp plant. Is greater than that of any other nation except Russia., --v. .

POTATO PRICE SOARS TO LUXURY GLASS
Potatoes will soon become a luxury if the price of the ever popular "spuds" continues to soar skyward and the chances are that before the winter is over that there will be few of them on the market. They are now quoted on the market at $1.25 a bushel and an advance on this price is anticipated at any time. January of 1915 there was a plentiful supply on hand and they were being sold at 90 cents a bushel. The heavy rains during the past summer ruined many crops entirely and damaged others causing a heavy loss to farmers. Then too large shipments have been made to European countries engaged in the war and sold at fancy prices. Dealers are preparing for a potato famine which they declare will come before the snow stops flying.
