marked than that OF railway construc-
ton.
During the last session of the Chilean
congress. which closed in February, a
bill was passed providing for the con-
structlon of railway over the Andes
mountains. 10 connect Buenos Ayres
with Santiago and Valparaiso. This
will he the first line to cross the conti-
nent OF South America.
This railway was projected 20 years
ago, and since that time some sort Of
measure dealing with the question has
been before each session of congress:
but each in its turn failed to pass one
or The other branch of the law-making
body until on February rs last, when
the above-mentioned bill became law.
A railway extending from Buenos
Ayres to the Cumbre of the Cordillera,
at Uspallatn Pass, TO connect with the
line from Valparaiso. is being con-
structed by the Argentine government.
Work on the new road is being pushed
forward on both sides of the noun
tains, and prospects are bright for al
rect railway connections, within few
years, between the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts. over the Andes, by line exend-
ing through the heart of Chile and Ar
gentina. This road will shorten tho
time between Europe and Chile by sir
or eight days. MS traffic is now via thu
Straits of Magellan.
The railway from Buenos Ayres il
completed as far as Puente del Inca,
short distance from the Cumbre, and
the line in course Of construction in
Chile is completed as far as Salto del
Saldado, also near the pass over the
Andes. and during the summer months
November to April--traflic is carried
on over the mountains, along the route
of the proposed railway, by mule cara
vans. 1t requires only one day to make
the trip between the railway terminals.
The pass is crossed at an elevation of
10 900 feet above sea level; but the route
as surveyed for the railway provides
for a tunnel through the mountains,
which will reduce the altitude of the
highest point reached by the railroad

August Zimmerman Becoming am Ea-

Anglers for the gamy black bass
along the Potomac river are now en-
ioying the finest sport imaginable.
The stream is lined daily with fisher
men, who report large catches. some
of the bass taken weighing three ana
four Lounds. A number OF Martins
burg people are camped along the
stream near Falling Waters, and the
stories of big catches which come
from that point indicate that there
are some wildly luxurious magma
tions among the fishermen or that they
have been imbibing too freely Of river
water. August Zimmerman reports
one string of four in an afternoon,
the largest of which weighed three
and one-half ounces. Other big catch
es are reported by the members OF
his party. Everybody seems to be
having good time.
