Traffic Handled by Rail.

A very modern railroad now cares for the
traffic that was to have made the cana,
the iveliest commercial pathway in the
world. Unlike most of the railways in this
section, this is of standard gauge and Is
equipped with cars and motive power equal
to the majority of the roads In the United
States, all of it having come from Amert-
can builders, whose names are indicative Of
excellence in construction. The railroad ex-
tends to the harbor, which is shaped like
the letter L." Along the base of the ~
are great wharves ready for the flow of
business that was SO sure to come, and for
which the docks are gaping in enforced
idleness. Every hing is here but the traffic
and the canal, which was to make this
great trade a possibility.

The stores face the tracks and the Wharyes

POST FRAME AWNINGS.
Permitted Only when Maintained
According to Regulations.

The attorney for the District. Mr. A. b.
DUvall. was asked several days ago by
the Commissioners TO advise them as to
their authority To cause The removal of
lGet Cram" awnings where the inspector OF
buildings is unable to serve on n nom
resident or absent property owner notice to
cover the frame remove it, in accordance
with section ., article S, of the police regu-
latiuns.
Post frame awnings, states the attorney,
are licensed distractions of the sidewalks
so long as they are maintained in accord
ance with the regulations, and no longer.
The property owner, in his opinion, has no
absolute vested right III their maintenance.
In such a case that mentioned by the
Commissioners Mr.. Duvall says. the notice
should be sent by nail to the last known
address of the owner. and a similar notice
should be served upon the tenant or person
in occupation of the premises, requiring
compliance with the police regulations, and
further notifying him that in default of
such compliance within the time limited in
the notice the frame will be removed by
the District.

must receive education. With this class
of people Salvadors rich mines of gold.
silver and other metals, and her great
agricultural resources. including large pro-
auctions of cotton, are being developed.
Foreign investments are being made. and
our country is proud OF the fact that never

stating that, whereas some nations stand
in awe of Intervention. Salvador always
stands ready to accept the Intervention and
the friendly consideration of her great and

this will rebound to the good Of our coun-
