posed route has been thoroughly exam
iHed and although contracts for the work

THE completion of a rail route to
Randsburg will give great impetus
to the opening up of that portion of the
desert The field there for individual
enterprise. both by locating and develop
ing the mineral deposits, is vast one
and cannot help reacting in a most ad-
vantageous way to this city. 1t will
mean the location Of small towns and
mining camps over a broad section of
territory, all of which will make this
city the base for their supplies and help
build up a trade hitherto unthought of.
The one great drawback at present to
that section is the scarcity of water, but
I think before long that defect will be
remedied and water found in sufficient
quantity to even make the country a
desirable place to settle, from an agri-
cultural point Of view.

itself throughout the east in almost
every line Of business and from appear

more stable way than formerly. Conf

which seems to have received a black
eye Is that of the railroads 1 do not
think there will be much extension of

greatly to blame for this state Of affairs.
They have been calamity-howling about
the blighting influence railway corpora
tions are exerting on the people, and the
people have believed ~ that has been
published. Consequently the latter are
drawing their purse strings tighter
whenever railway project is men
toned.
This is decidedly wrong view to
take of the matter. because the roads
are as much dependent on the people
as they are on the roads. BY working
together mutual advantage is obtained,
and I think that fact will be shortly
realized and railroad extension take a
new impetus in the future"
