From the panorama view of the tops of the Wasatch mountains as pierced by the totalled Alpine highway, one can gain an Idea of the yajnes of that region which, for a comparatively small amount of money, could he made accessible to all motorists. Below are a couple of mountain lake and at the right (center), a sturdy pine tree whose growth has been confined mostly to . spreading out rather than up, owing to the fierce blasts of winter.

(By Elisha Lee, tire president rennevl. railroad, in the New York Sun ) present-da- y .developments 'a transportation surpass in importance the rapidly avowing uss of motor vehicles as common carriers, part'iuilorly In the ' freight service. Public discussion of the subject, however, often goes astray It dealing with the motor truck exclusively as a ids si or competitor of the railroadi. The Inference seems to be that It ean live only on proflte taken away from the rail llnre. and that Its future Importance to the country must be Judged from that aspect. Personally, 1 do not subscribe to these views. The Importance and value of commercial motor traneport to the country as a whole will not He (n menacing or Injuring the railroads but in the V tent to which It ts capable of aiding them to greater usefulness by assisting In the improvement of their Indlspensshle public service and in the solution of their problems of operation and earnings. The railroads are evolving into whole sale transportation machines They are becoming more and more adapted to the In of commodities and handling goods bulk to the movement of full carloads and long trains. This development ts a natural response to the needs of a Country having such enormous quantitiesdis-of freight to transport over suchdo vast tances. s great The railroads still deal of purely retail business home ot It perhaps pays Its way, but much of It unquestionably entails a loss, either directly or by reason of the bulk traffic which it crowds out.
