Persia's first railroad has been
opene4 to traffic. It runs from Jhulfa,
on the frontier of Russia Transcau-
casia, to the ancient Persian city of
Tabriz, a distance of 93 miles. Speed,
apparently, is not its specialty. Com-
mercial Attache Henry D. Baker of
the American legation at Petrograd,
who has the distinction of being the
first regular passenger, says that it
took 12 hours for the train to travel
from one end to the other of the line.
By carriage, however, the trip would
! have taken three days, he adds.
Mr. Baker gives this Interesting ac-
| count of the new railroad:
! "Thousands of people, Including all
the foreign consuls and other officials
; In the city, came to witness the en-
trance of the first train into Tabriz,
and there was Immense excitement as
I the blowing of whistles announced Its
! approach. In front of the locomotive
was a huge emblem showing the Per-
sian lion with the sword, with the sun
In the background. The train con-
sisted only of freight cars, the rail-
road being at present Intended not for
carrying passengers, but for military
purposes.
"The great crowds waited to see the
train ft art on its return trip. Through
the courtesy of the Russian military
authorities I was permitted to be the
first passenger on this first train, on
its return to the international boun-
dary, one of the freight cars being
specially furnished for my accommo-
dation. The train left Tabriz about
five o'clock In the afternoon, and the
distance of 93 miles to Jhulfa, on the
Aras river, separating Russian Trans-
caucasia from Persia, was covered by
five o'clock the following morning,
i "After the train left Tabriz It was
Interesting toxwateh the excitement oc-
casioned among the rural population.
I In the different villages the people
| climbed up on the roofs of their mud
houses to see this great spectacle; It
I was probably the first time that most
' of them had ever seen a railroad train.
The sheep and cattle and teams of
horses along the route were greatly
terrified."
(ff| The rallrond may possibly be ex-
Jg* tended to Teheran, the capital of Per-
^"7sin, and thence through Ispahan to
Beluchistan, where it would connect
with the railroad system of British
India.
It Is expected that the new line will
bring an enormous commercial devel-
opment to the region of Persia which
It traverses, where there are many
mines not worked up to now on ac-
count of transportation difficulties.
The railroad will probably divert traf-
fic from the caravan route via the
Black sea port of Treblzond to the
railroad route via Tlflls in the Cau-
casus.
Tabriz, terminus of the line, Is the
world's leading carpet market, and has
*bout 200,000 Inhabitants.
Engine Treated Master Kindly.
A yard engineer at Van Wert, O.,
left the cab of the locomotive, while
waiting on a siding, laid down along
the track with his head on the rail
and went to sleep. A leaky valve per-
mitted the engine to move three feet.
The wheel pushed his head aside but
ruined the cap he was wearing.

English Invention, It It Claimed, Will
Save Ninety Per cent of the
Material Used.
An apparatus has been in use by an
English railroad company by which
it is claimed that 90 per cent of the
oil and grease held In the pores and
on the surfaces of waste, rags, and
wipers used In keeping machinery
clean Is recovered. The arrangement
Is a skillful adaptation of the steam-
turbine and the centrifugal, or hydro-
extractor, as it Is sometimes called.
The centrifugal consists of an outer
containing fixed cylinder, and an In-
ner perforated cylinder, which Is made
to revolve at a high speed. The ma-
terial to be dried Is placed In the per-
forated cylinder, and when the latter
Is revolved the material to be dried
Is carried by centrifugal force against
the perforated wall of the cylinder,
and fluid which It contains being car-
ried through the perforations Into the
outer containing cylinder, from which
It Is drawn off. In the apparatus un-
der consideration the oily rags, etc.,
are placed In the revolving cylinder,
which Is driven by a small steam tur-
bine, the exhaust from which Is led
Into the revolving cylinder of the cen-
trifugal, where it melts the grease,
loosens the oil, and helps them to
free themselves from the cloths. The
waste wipers are also recovered, either
directly after treatment In the centri-
fugal or where the cloths are dirty as
well as oily, after subsequent washing
by ordinary laundry machinery. Where
clean oil Is used only, the waste Is
ready for service directly Its oil has
been squeezed out
Powerful Headlights Ordered.
The Interstate commerce commission
sustained the rule requiring that all
railroad locomotives be equipped with
1,000-feet headlights between sunset
and sunrise.
At the several hearings held by the
commission, railroad officials said it
would cost at least $5,000,000 to put
this rule Into effect.
The rule, which was favored by the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
follows:
"Each locomotive used in road serv-
ice between sunset and sunrise shall
have a headlight which will enable
persons with normal vision In the cab
of the locomotive, under normal weath-
er conditions, to see a dark object the
size of a man for a distance of 1,000
feet or more ahead of the locomotive,
and such headlights must be main-
tained In good order."
The rule was promulgated on Octo-
ber 11 last year, but the railroad presi-
dents of the country asked for and
were granted several hearings. They
vigorously protested.
In addition to the heavy cost, they
argued that the powerful lights would
blind and bewilder persons crossing
railroad tracks.
THERE was one rich and un-
ruly realm the Spaniards were
glad to rid themselves of fol-
lowing the battle of Manila
bay. The huge Island of Mindanao,
pronounced as though spelled Mlnd-a-
now, known in the Philippines as
Morolaud, had the reputation of being
largely unconquered, as much by the
military as by the missionaries. The
Moros clung to their religious beliefs
as tenaciously as they opposed Span-
ish domination In government, writes
Monroe Woolley In the Utica Satur-
day Globe.
But the Moro archipelago today Is
not what It was when we first took
up stewardship there. This means
that It is not the unconquerable em-
pire It was when the Spanish essayed
to rule and run It. For a long time
we sought to make the Moros obedi-
ent by whipping them—by killing
them off. Hundreds, thousands of
t them, were slain In periodic cam-
paigns, yet the fiery Mohammedans
j lost no opportunity to treacherously
murder our troops and officials at
times when pacification seemed ap-
parent.
I Military operations falling to a con-
siderable degree, and mindful of the
hopeless task of the Spaniards, an-
' other method was devised to win the
' people to new government and to new
I ways of living. At first the Philippine
government smoked a peace pipe with
the sultans and dattos, chiefs of com-
: munlty factions, seeking In tills man-
ner to make Itself popular with the
masses. As much good will as pos-
sible was thus literally bought. Cost-
ly gifts and junketing trips were be-
stowed on the tribal chiefs, and they
Were fawned upon as loyal subjects
are wont to do with royalty. Later,
brute force was wholly abolished.
Kindness and diplomacy were finally
substituted theiVfor, and with this en-
lightened new system we are gradual-
ly and thoroughly remaking Moham-
medan Mindanao.
Known to and thoroughly explored
by white men for centuries past, Min-
danao is today Just beginning to be
lifted from a savage past Into the
limelight of civilization. The rich
realm has never been exploited be-
muse the Inhabitants were always hos-
tile to any outside Interference. Min-
Mindanao has a larger colony of
American planters, engaged mostly in
hemp cultivation, than any other spot
In the islands, notwithstanding that
the people there have always been
hostile to trespassers. Many of these
have been wantonly murdered, but the
fatality list is growing less right
along, an evidence that the people are
being converted to a new order of
things. Many of these brave Ameri-
cans started business on what they
saved from a soldier's wage, and to-
day not a few of them are Oriental
nabobs.
Responding to Education.
For centuries the Moro thought the
only kind of effective government was
that having force behind it. To be
kind to him, in his opinion, meant that
you feared him. But to be kind, with
a means of making kindness accepta-
ble through a standing military force,
has completely wrought a change In
the warlike people. Under good lead*
ers the Moros are good people; under
bad ones they, too, are bad.
The Mohammedan religion teaches
that to slay a white man, or a Chris-
tian, is a sure way to get to heaven.
Therefore, In Spanish times, and dur-
ing our early occupation, fanatical
Moros used to run amuck, chopping
down as many foreigners as they
could with their wicked knives. Often
It has taken a dozen bullets, well-
almed from a high-power army rifle,
to kill the crazed followers of the
Koran. All Moros hate pork as a bull
does a red flag, and the military offi-
cer who placed the dead body of a
fanatic Inside a pork carcas and
strung the two up In the plaza for
the Inspection of others effectually
kept "running amuck" within bounds
In his territory.
But today the Moros are laying
aside their war krlses and spears, are
discarding their tight-fitting, gaily
colored costumes for modern dress,
similar to the Filipinos, and are send-
ing their children for the first time to
public schools. A decade hence there
may be Moro professional men, such
us lawyers, doctors and scientists.
A committee of Moro chieftains who
went to Manila recently to meet Resi-
dent Commissioner Manuel Quezos of
Washington, himself a Filipino, told
the commissioner that schools were

Speed of German Train.
The fastest German train Is said te
be the express train (D-Zug 20) be-
tween Berlin and Hamburg. It takes
194 minutes to cover 178.20 miles, and
has consequently a speed of 55.15
miles per hour. The express train
(D-Zug 8) on the route between Han-
over and Prussian Mlnden takes 43
minutes to cover 30.76 miles. The
third fastest train Is the Munich-
Nuremberg express (D-Zug 79), which
has a speed of 54.80 miles per hour.
Then come three express trains mak-
ing the Journey between Berlin and
Halle at the rate of 54.80 miles per
hour.
Immense Saving Possible.
The coal bill of one railroad In this
country, and not the largest, for last
year was $0,531,592. One shovelful of
coal saved out of each ten, which Is
not a difficult or Impossible achieve-
ment, In view of the existing wasteful
methods of firing locomotives, would
effect an annual saving of $653,159.20
without Impairing In any way the effi-
ciency of the railroad.
Fast Mail Train.
A train without a single operator
aboard will carry London's mall
through the nine-foot tunnel which the
city plans to build. The train will
travel at the rate of 25 miles an hour,
and will stop at little platform sta-
tions along the route.
; danao, with the Sulu archipelago—
| the Mohammedan empire—Is well
worth reconstruction, and It Is per-
haps this fact which has made us so
persistent.
Largest of Philippine Islands.
' Mindanao itself is the largest island
by far in the entire Philippine archi-
pelago. It is about the size of our
own state of Mississippi, and Is big-
ger than Indiana or Ohio. It would
make seven states like New Jersey,
and Is by far much larger than sev-
eral of our Atlantic const states com-
bined. To be precise, It hns an area
of 40,721 square miles.
In ancient times the Moros had lit-
tle, If any, business sense. They had
a woeful lack of the appreciation of
money. To overcome their antiquated
ideas of trade we have established
markets for them in the leading towns
where they meet to buy and sell.
, Some day Mindanao will be one of
the leading countries of the world for
1 the production of rubber. The rubber
tree grows wild there In great pro-
fusion. Although the Industry is as
yet undomestlcated, exports from a
single locality have reached nearly
1.000,000 pounds In a year. The Island
also produces much hemp, as well as
tapioca, cocoanuts and other tropical
fruits.
We have been successful In giving
railroads to that part of the Philip-
pine archipelago occupied by the Fil-
ipino, even though foreign capital had
to furnish the money, but we have
yet to lay the first steel rail In Min-
danao, the greatest and richest of the
Islands of our Insular frontier. Bor-
neo, distant only a stone's throw from
Zamboanga, Mindanao's metropolis, Is
far ahead of Moroland In everything
ssve natural wealth.
Intensely popular, and asked him to
say to congress that as long as that
body was disposed to furnish school
books that the Moros themselves
would furnish the schools and the
scholars. Datto Plang, one of the
powerful chieftains, has himself erect-
ed two costly schoolhouses In Min-
danao solely at his own expense. A
Moro doing anything of this sort In
olden times would have been hanged
by his own people.
Baseball Has Helped.
Baseball has helped wonderfully
with the Moros, as It did with the
Filipinos, to cement affections for the
Americans. It Is claimed by a learned
Filipino who recently toured Min-
danao that in two decades the vis-
itor In Moroland will not be able, so
far as dress and manners are con-
cerned, to distinguish a Moro from a
Filipino. No American baseball fan
really knows what fun Is until he Is
privileged to see a hotly contested
game of ball between Filipinos and
Moros and gives an attentive ear to
the game vernacular as It Is spoken
by our wards In the excitement of the
sport.
With the awakening to dvlllzatlon
the Moro Is acquiring some chivalry.
One of the sultans thought he had
reached the acme of politeness when
he asked the popular daughter of one
of our ex-presidents, at the time vis-
iting his palace, to become No. 1 In
his harem. Of ccurse, there was a
blushing declination, at which the
dusky ruler was probably chagrined.
But the Incident goes to illustrate that
the American, as well as the Christian
Filipino, is for the first time making
himself and his Institutions accepta-
ble to the remade Mohammedans of
our farthest flung frontier.

Three Hundred Million
Bushel Crop in 1915
raratr s pay for (heir land with on* year's crop
and prosperity was aever mo great.
Regarding Western Canada as a grain
producer, a prominent business man
says: "Canada's position today is
sounder than ever. There is more
wheat, more oats, more grain for feed, 20% more cattle than
last year and more hogs. The war market in Europe needs
our surplus. As for the wheat crop, it is marvelous and a monument of strength
for business confidence to build upon, exceeding the most optimistic predictions."
Wheat averaged In 1915 over 25 bushels per acre
Oats averaged In 1915 over 45 bushels per acre
Barley averaged In 1915 over 40 bushels per acre
Prices are high, markets convenient, excellent land, low in price either im-
proved or otherwise, ranging from $12 to $30 per acre. Free homestead
lands are plentiful and not far from railway lines and convenient to good
schools an ft churches. The climate is healthful.
