Interesting Facts Gleaned From
Recently Published Report of
the Great System.
Some Idea of the vastnesB of the
Pennsylvania Railroad system and its
vital relationship to the territory
which its lines traverse may be gath
ered from figures in the annual "Record
of Transportation Lines,' Issued April
10th by the Maintenance of Way De
partment of the System. This pam
phlet shows that on December 31, 1908,
the Pennsylvania Railroad controlled a
total of 11,2.15.81 miles of line and
23,977.41 miles of track?.
The total population of the union
January 1, 1909, according to the esti
mates of the Governors of the respec
tive states, was 89,770,120, and that of
the states through which lines of the
Pennsylvania Railroad run 44,936,622-
almost exactly half the total. '
Reports compiled by tha Company
show that during 1908 the Pennsylva
nia Railroad carried 142,676,779 pas
singers an average of over three trips
for every inhabitant of the states
through which its lines run. Likewise,
during the year the company bandied
334,429.541 tons of freight over its
23,977.41 miles of track an average of
nearly eight tons to every person living
in the states it serves.
During the year the various compan
ies also carried 3,551,301,092 passengers
one mile which means that the com
pany carried an average of 316,093 pas
sengers over every mile of Its line. The
total freight conveyed one mile ag
gregated 29,353,934,199 tons, or an
average of 26,216,310 tons passing over
every mile of the company's line.
Of the total trackage of the system
14,089 78 miles are east of Pittsburg
and Erie, while 9,887.65 run west of
those point. During 1908 the total
trackage Increased 405 miles, while the
155 miles were added to the total mile
age. The system's lines now have 3,326
miles of double track, 784 miles of triple
track, while for 604 miles, four tracks
have been laid. There are also 8,065
miles of sidings owned by the various
companies. ,

Chairman Appropriation Committee.
The average annual appropriations
for the army have leaped from less
than 124,000,000 a year for. the eight
year period immediately preceding the
Spanish war to an average of more than
$83,000,000 for the eight year period
ending with the appropriations made
by the late Congress, and during the
same periods the annual average for
naval appropriation" has tnoreased from
a little more than $27,500,000 to more
than $102,400,000. The increase in
appropriations for the army lor the
periods .named exceeds $473,000,000
a Bum sufficient to cover the whole cost
of constructing the Panama Canal on
the basis of the latest estimates for that
gigantic work, and with nearly $150,
000,000 to-spare. The increase in the
sums Congress has voted for Uin navy
for these same period amounts to
$598,689,333 88 a sum greatly In excess
of the total appropriations for the
support of the whole government for
any fiscal year prior to that ol 1908.
The combined excess for the army and
navy thus exhibited for the pight-year
periods named amounts to $1,073,099,
741 02 a sura exceeding by more than
$158,000,000 the total interest-bearing
debt of the United States. By Conai-esi-tiinn

The Smicksburg Quadrangle, Surveyed
by the Federal Survey and the
Stat Co-operatively.
The U. S. Geological Survey has re
cently published a map called the
Smicksburg quadrangle covering a
portion of western Pennsylvania, lying
between Punxsutawney and Dayton and
comprising "bout 225 square miles in
Armstrong, Indiana and Jefferson coun
ties. This completes the mapping of
an interesting seotion of country as the
adjoining quadrangles on three sides
are also available, the Punxsutawney,
Indiana and Rural Valley.
This region Is a well watered, fertile
country with a prosperous agricultural
population. The principal towns are
Dayton, Smicksburg, Plumvllle, Saga
more, Marlon Center. Covode, Horatio,
Perryville and Ringgold. Its great
est wealth, however, is in the large
amount of coal, oil and gas foui.d in
many places.. The Punxsutawney-Wal-Bton
coal mines which He partially in
this quadrangle are one of the old and
welt known fields. A ne v field, just
being extensively opened up at
Sagamore is euqlpped with a strlotiy
modern, high-class plant. Many smal
ler mines are being operated with
limited capital and equipment. On the
northern edge of the map is found the
Ringgold gas field from which large
quantities of natural gas ire being
piped to Pittsburgh and adjoining
cities.
The Mahoning and Little Mahoning
creeks are tne principal streams shown
on this map. They join near Smicks
burg and flow northwest finally erup
ting Into the Allegheny river. These
streams are much polluted with sulphur
water from the mines but could be
utilized for power development to a
considerable extent.
The Smicksburg map is only one of
many in Pennsylvania that are avail
able. Index Bheets showing the maps
already printed will be furnished on
application to the Director, U. S. Geo
logical Survey at Washington, D. C,
and the maps of this or other quad
rangles desired can be obtained from
