CHAUTAUOUA'S BULLHEADS.
Tons Of Them Caught Through the Ice
only One Dait for Them.

LAKEWOOD. N. Y, Dec. 20--A winter
sport peculiar to ChautaL qua Lake 20 far
as the waters Of this State are concerned
is fishing through the ice for bullheads.
The bullheads there do not hibernate. as
are as lively and active In winter as in
summer. Chautauqua is the only county
in the State in whose waters there are
no pickerel. so the nom alternating bull
heads OF Chautauqua Lake come as IL TO
compensate for the absence there Of pick
erel fishing through the ice. which all the
rest Of the State enjoys.
These bullheads present a notable H.
Illustration OF the Influence Of environment
on Ash species, They originally came TO
the lake from the Erie Canal.
In the canal into which the fish entered
from Lake Erie, none OF the bullheads
ever grows to be Of a weight more than
half pound. In Chautauqua Lake it is
no uncommon thing for descendants Of
the original stock to weigh four pounds.
There are large bullheads in other in
land waters Of the State. notably in York
Lake, Sullivan county, where they attain
to a weight Of three pounds. but the fesh
Of the big ones Is rank and unfit for the
table The meat Of four-pound Chau-
tauqua Lake bullhead, however. Ia a. sweet

was seriously questioned and there ia no
likelihood that any attempt will ever be
made to carry II out
The Tehuantepec Railroad will have
the same relation to the worlds commerce
as that which the Panama Railroad has
30 long borne; but it will have important
advantages which could not possibly ac-
crue to the more southern route.
Its history has been filed with trials and
tribulations. As far back as is4i the Mexi-
can Government gave q concession TO Don
Jose de Garay to build a railroad across
the isthmls. He did not even begin work
When he threw up the contract the con-
cession was given to p A. Hargous, an
American capitalist, who organized a COM
pany to carry out the enterprise; II was
knocked on the head. however. by the
Mexican War. in 1887 the concession passed
into the hands OF Col W. H. Sidell without
result and finally in 1870 Mr.. Simon Stevens
OF New York acquired the concession with
a fair subsidy pledged by the Mexican
Government, for every kilometre OF the
completed route. In ten years he built
only about twenty-five miles Of the road
and the contract was then annulled, the
Mexican Government deciding that II the
road was ever to be built it must carry out
the work itself.
The Mexican Congress voted the nee
essAry credit and the national enterprise
was begun in 1882. The line was extended
from sea to sea by 1893. a total cost Of
~ 900 900 pesos. The track is 100 miles in
length.
Unfortunately the harbors Of Coatza-
coalcos and Salina Crux needed a large
expenditure to make them available for
important ocean trade. The Government
was 80 short-sighted as to begin operating
the line without making the improvements
that would certainly bring large trade
to 1t; the result 10 that the railroad has been
operated at an annual loss Of about
1850 900 pesos.
The Government concluded very sensibly
in 1897 that 1t was not a success as a rail-
road manager and 80 It leased the line for
City years to the Arm Of s. Pearson 4 Son.
Limited. Of London. This firm pledged
itself to make all necessary improvements
In the two harbors and to provide all modern
facilities for the handling Of freight, in fact
to make the harbors thoroughly available
for tho business OF the largest ships In the
world.
The Arm also agreed to place the road In
hrst-class condition and 10 provide the very
best modern earn for carrying freight and

II is intended always to maintain between
thirty and forty feet Of water in the chan
mel. The new quays are two-thirds Of a
mile long, so that eight large vessels may
simultaneously discharge their cargoes
There are now thirty feet OF water In the
harbor Of Salina Cruz, which is protected
by a stone breakwater nearly three-fourths
of a mile long. The harbor will easily
accommodate at least ,oOo, 900 tons OF
shipping year
1t il interesting to observe the favorable
position Of this railroad between two great
oceans for serving the worlds trade inter-
ests. The railroad will shorten the sea
distance from northwest Europe TO San
Francisco by 5000 miles. The distances
between our Atlantic and Pacific ports
will he l 200 miles shorter than by the Mic
aragua route and 1000 miles shorter than
by tho Panama route. The route from
New Orleans to San Francisco by the 18TH
mus of Tehuantepec will be only 2 500 miles,
which is only 700 miles longer than BY the
Southern Pacific Railroad between these
cities. The Mexican Government has stip-
ulated that the Tehuantepec railroad charge
from ship side to ship side shall not ex-
coed - per ton, which is 81 less than the
charge OF the Panama railroad. The cost
Of the Pacific Ocean part Of the journey
is not to exceed S2.50 a ton between Salina
Cruz and San Francisco. which will make
the total charge for freight from Coatza.
coalcos, on the Gulf OF Mexico, to San Fran
cisco $50 a ton. Our transcontinental
railroad lines charge from Si2 to SIS a ton
from ocean to ocean.
1t is said that the unloading Of vessels

the work will not consume more than one
to two days. This rate OF speed Ia some
what astonishing, and 1t remains to be seen
how nearly it can be Appropriated. At any
rate. he transaction Of business Ia not to
be iinpeded a minute by custom houses or
consular formalties. The railroad is to be.
first and foremost. a most important means
OF transport for the commerce, duty free,
Of all commercial nations.
There can be no doubt that the railroad
may confidently count upon carrying q
large amount Of freigh from our Atlantic
and European ports to all the great Pacific
ports, and that much Of the t-ade from
the ports on the Pacific Ocean will use this
new highway for reaching the Gulf and
Atlantic coasts Of America and the ports
Of Europe.
