That the railroads of America are the greatest Institutions in the world and lead thoee of all other coun tries Is the opinion of Charles Ev sob, Commissioner of Railways ol Queensland, Australia, according to an Interview with a reporter of the New York Evening -Sun, "Oar railroads in Queensland arc owned by the government because that 'jras the only way we oould get railroads," said Mr. Evans.
