Those who have been most interested in promoting the movement here are deeply grateful to them and their names will be kept in memory not only in McHenry, but also in Dublin, New York and Paris, where the list of Ireland's friends will be recorded. Sincere appreciation is felt as well towards the solicitors, who did their work so well that other places will find it difficult to equal. After all it is well to remember that America owes a debt to Ireland and that we in buying Irish bonds or in selling them are merely doing our part to repay that debt. It will never be entirely repaid until Ireland is free and frefe it will be, God willing, through the untiring efforts of liberty loving America. Once more our grateful acknowledgment to-our' own townsmen and townswomen who have extended a helping hand to Ireland rising from her bondage of nearly eight centuries to take her place among the free republics of the tern world.

Heimer, Prop, They couldn't be built now for £vice*7i,ooo When the talk turns from politics to railroads, and the traveler with the cocksure air breaks in with, "There's an awful lot of 'water' in the railroads," here, are some hard-pan facts to give him: American railroads have cost $80,900 a mile --roadbed, structures, stations, yards, terminals, freight and passenger trains--everything fvpn the great city terminals to the last spifce* A good concrete-and-asphalt highway costs $36,000 a mile--just a bare road, not counting the cost of culverts, bridges, etc. Our railroads couldn't be duplicated today for $150,000 a mile. They are capitalized for only $71,000 a mile-- much less than their actual value. Seventy-one thousand dollars today will buy one locomotive. English railways are capitalized at $274,000 a mile; the French at $155,000; German $132,000; even in Canada (still in pioneer development) they are capitalized at $67,000 a mile. The average for all foreign countries is $100,000. ....,4. - ' Low capitalization and high operating efficiency have enabled American Railroads to pay the higHest wages while charging the lowest rates. $us advertisements published by the dissociation of Railway Executives 7%m« dtsirimg information trnttrniug tkt railramd sitmstim **** Hferaturt hy writing I* Tkt Atuciatitn rf RmUwy £Mmtivn^ 4I Bnmdmv.
