endless variety. One house has been

OF Maine, and even into the British pos
sessions.
The best houses still find a steady de-
mand for the classic and the antique.
Drawing and modelling are now 30 widely
taught in all sorts Of schools that famous
subjects from classic periods are used in
great and increasing numbers. Local mu-
seums, provincial artists, libraries and
private persons buy copies Of the antique.
The South especially is waking up to the
Importance Of the plastic art, and many OF
the best known works OF Grecian sculpt-
ure are bought by institutions and private
persons south Of Mason and Dixon's line.
But almost everywhere, outside few
great cities, there Is prejudice against
the nude in the plastic art and demand
for draped figures.

pieces are the Venus Of Milo and the Winged

MAP BE NEW PACIFIC PORT.
Mexican Concession for . New Railroad
Limo to California.


Limo to California.
MEXICO CITY, Sept. "a new Pacific
port will be opened to the traffic Of Mexico
and the United States II the Southern
Pacific decides to avail itself Of a conces-
sion recently granted by the Mexican
Government. One Of the clauses OF the
concession that gives the Southern Pacific
the right to build line from one point on the
northern boundary to another point on the
same boundary provides that the company
may extend the line southwest through that
territory to the port Of Ensenada de Todos
Santos.
The first object OF the Southern Pacific
in obtaining the concession was to make
possible a new route to California. The
track that will be built through the northern
portion OF Lower California will be but a
section of a much longer piece Of Southern
Pacific property. Surveys for this work
are already In progress and the construction
will be begun soon. The extension OF
the line to Port Ensenada de Todos Santos,
which Is about 100 miles south Of the border,
will not be commenced until the other
work is completed
According to the terms Of the concession.
the company must notify the Government
within three years whether it intends to
build the branch to the coast. After
the company has notified the Govern.
ment Of its intention to build the branch,
construction must be done at the rate Of
fourteen kilometres year and the entire
line must be completed within six years
from the date Of notification.

One reason for this Is that the Prairie
Oil and Gas Company Is not a common
carrier; 1t Is q producing company with a
pipe line department. There are some
influential producers who think, for various
reasons. that it should be common carrier,
and 1t is more than probable the Legislature
next winter will be asked to declare It one.
When a company discovers oil the Stand
ard. through Its agents, lays pipe line to
the we'll and takes the oil, not until, how
ever, the company makes the following
