steamship service on that side.
Costa Rica is one OF our little neigh
bors whose recent development and
present progress are worthy OF more
attention than they have received. Her
population numbers only about 100000,
but her commerce In 1904 amounted TO
about $4,000, 900, with trade balance
Of $500, 900 or so In her favor From
1901 to 1904, inclusive, her favorable
trade balance amounted to about
3e5OO,OOo Her exports consist chiefly of
bananas and a superior grade Of coffee.
We are good customers for her banana
crop, and England takes about rs per
cent. Of her coffee. In 1904 her coffee
brought her some 100000 and her
bananas another $3,0OO,00O. During the
fiscal year 1905 we bought from her
A,3OO,0Oo. represented largely by ba-
nanas. and sold to her sl,7eS,a7s worth
OF miscellaneous merchandise.
The great need OF the country is the
same as that Of so much OF the area
lying southwark OF the United States
population and development by for
eign capital. The altitude Of most Of it's
area Ia such as to make it decidedly
habitable and healthful country. The
national finances are now in good shape,
and the future, II not assured, Is at least
highly promising. Costa Rica's inter
oceanic railway will not endanger the
interests OF the Panama Canal, but 1t is
probable that it will catch some Of the
trade current which the canal will bring
to that immediate neighborhood.

Costa Rica's Interoceanic Railway.

The completion Of the 100 mile trans
Mexican railway line known as the
Tehuantepec will be followed, probably
within short time, by the opening Of
n road from sea to sea in Costa Rica.
HE Costa Rican Railway, recently leased
to the Northern Railway Company, an
American enterprise, now runs from
Puerto Limon, on the Caribbean, to San
,Joef. tho capital Of the country. For
scmo time the Government has been at
work and has spent large sums of money
IN the construction of road from the
capital to Punta Arenas, on the Pacific
coast. This is now reported as COM
rl.ted with the exception Of short
break on the Pacific side Of the noun
tains. We are unable to give the exact
length OF the route from coast to coast,
but II is probably not far from 1875 miles.
When the line is finished and in full
operation, Costa Rica hopes for some
share in the transisthmian traffic, both
freight and passenger. There is GER
tainly much to recommend it as q route
for travellers. The region is exceedingly
picturesque and the greater part Of the
run is made at an altitude which insures
a high degree of physical comfort.

Steamship Tramc in the Philippines to BE
Given to Commercial Lines.

WASHINGTON, Sept. e.-The Government
monopoly of interisland steamship traffic
in the Philippines has been broken, and
hereafter the transportation Of freight,
mails and passengers shall be given by con-
tract to commercial lines, over routes which
can support such lines. To points where
there is insufficient business to support a

Government freight. mails, DC, by Gov
ernment transports will be retained.
According to the last annual report OF
the Secretary of Commerce and Police Of
the Philippine Government there has been
some complaint by owners Of commercial
steamers that the large use Of Government
vessels took 70 much of the business that
the commercial lines could not find enough

to an announcement made at the Bureau OF
Insular Affairs to-day, the committee found
in favor of the complainants.
The Philippine Government has been
operating seventeen steamers, called coast
