KAILKOAD8 OF THK WORLD United States Operate S3 Percent of the Unes of the World \ * Wherever thsre is traffic enough to jutrtify the expense, or whero tho re is h probability of developing such a volume of traffic, civilized man the world over depend upon railroads to do tho heavy hauling demanded by commerce und the development of nat i ura) resources. From the frozen stretches of tho Arctic to the outpobW, of civilization far below t^ie Line, railroads of many different kinds go steadily about tho biisinesa of carry ing traffic and people from one place to another. According to figures compiled by tho Bureau of Railway Kconomic* thero were, in 1923, 751,045 miles of railroad in the world. Of this amount the United States had 251,* 158 miles of main line or about 3J? percent of the total, and North Amer ica had 316,344, or about <11 percent. The "furthest north" railroad is in Russia- -a line from Fotrograd to Kola? about 17 f> miles within the Arctic Circle. The United States Government Alaska Railroad termi nates about 100 miles south of tho /Arctic Circle. From tho frozen north the railroads stretch away to those distant tropical countries whoso very names Hie as sociated with strange customs and tho glamour of romance and adven ture. Trains run now to Damascus and Jerusalem; from Basra to Bagdad, aiTT from Bombay to Delhi, Lahore and Peshawar. The road to Manda lay is now a railroad extending north from Rangoon far up the Irrawaddy. From Singapore, in the Malay States, a railroad runs to Bangkok in Siam, through the country of "pile built villages" and '^gentle, yellow pirates" where so prosait a thing m a railroad scorns out of place. Algeria, Bechunaland, Zanibar, Tanganyika, tho Gold Coast, Mozam bique, the Congo, Kamerun, Mauri tius and Rhodesia, each has its rail roads, which bring down to ports or river landings, from outlying planta tions and lonely trading posts, queer products that find their way later into the commerce of the world. Australia has 29,628 mites of rail road and a population of 13,341?, 000. Europe with a population of 412, r, 00, 000 has 236,1)5 miles of railroad. This means 5.7 miles of road for 10,000 population and 6.9 miles for every 100 square miles of area. Such names as Czocho-Slovakia, Ksthonia, Jugo-Slavia, Latvia, Lith uania and Poland are vivid reminders of the great struggle that gave these new nations their place in the sun. In South America the Argentine Republic has the greatest railroad mileage,' the total being 18,156. Bra zil is second with 18,704 ipiios. ' The^ Argentine has the "farthfafc south ^ . railroad ? a line running northwest from Puerta Deaeado, about 1 ,700 miles south of the equator. In spite of the fact that railroads are gradually being pushed, back into the little known places of the world plenty of opportunity for railroad building still remains. Considerable areas in our own coun try are without railroad facilities. Asia, the largest continent of all, and the one with the greatest population, has onljfc 80,474 miles. of railroad. Af rica has only 37,080 miles and South America only 55,301.. <?T Railroad building in those conti nents may be said to have just begun and will undoubtedly be greatly in creased in tho future. And because American railroads give better and cheaper transportation than those of any other country there will be a con tinued need for Americans to build and operate new road* f the far plact s of the world. The government subsidy. voted Knghsh coal miners to prevent a strike, is increasing. The figures are: September, $9, 000, 000; October, ^13, 250, 000; November $1 3.2.' 0.000; De v ember, $16,000,000.

II, Townsend, presiding at court here this weok, to life imprison meat in the state penitentiary. Wright had become enraged with his daughter because of her elope ment with and marriage to H^nnie llousard, a 20-year-old youth of Con way, it is said. Ho had Hounard ar rested and carried the daughtor home. On some pretext he sent hi? wife to a neighbor's house and taking his shotgun emptied the'loftd into hi* daughter's back as she sat sewing at a machine, killing her instantly, ac cording to evidence. He then went under the house and cut his own throat. For weeks afterward. Wright lay at the point of death in the county jail here, but gradually recovered.
