In its issue of last week the Engineering News published statistics showing the progress of railway construction in the far western states. According to the statistics, which cover ten states and territories, there have been 1.404 miles of track laid since Jan. 1,1890, and there are now 2,017 miles under construction. 3,920 miles under survey, and 4,977 miles projected for future construction. The greater part of the active work is confined to the states of Washington, Montana and Colorado, and is being carried on by the Northern Pacific, Croat Northern and Union Pacific companies. Over 44 per cent of this year’s tracklaying and 40 per cent of the mileage under construction is the work of these companies.A very interesting table of the number of soldiers engaged in the late war
