Recently the surveys for the Kansas
City, Mexico & Orient railway through
the Sierra Madre mountains in Mexico
were concluded and it was proved that
the tracks OF the new railway could be
laid on grades not exceeding 2 per cent
at any point. The feat was declared
impossible by many railroad men, and
the least skeptical asserted that a pass

necessitate surmounting grades of at
least IA per cent.

Mr.. StilweI has just returned from
Europe. where. in England and Hol-
land, there are many capitalists inter-
ested in the Orient project. AS a re-

names have been added to the list of
stockholders in the enterprise.

with no funds or backing of any sort
except from private Individuals con-
tinued Mr. Stilwell Thirteen million
dollars already expended, less than on4
million in bonds issued, and plenty OF
means in sight to complete the road.
To accomplish this it has been neces-
sary to see personally 5000 men of
means and convince them of the merIf
of our undertaking. The result is that
the Orient is owned by the people, and
not by Wall Street. OF the 5000 capt.

More than 1900 of them are residents

Mr.. Stilweu says that all formidable
problems of construction had been
solved with the successful crossing of
the Sierra Madre mountains. and that
practically all of the force of surveyors
and engineers had been discharged.
