President Diaz is now &c years OF
age, but he is equal 10 the administra-
tive tasks Of a man Of Sc. For more
than 80 years he has been the central
figure in the national affairs OF MexL
CO, and Of that time 80 years as an
active soldier. Since he came into
power the country has known absolute
peace, where before Il was in constant
revolution. Railroads now run in
every direction, developing great in
dustries and opening up the wonder
ful mining districts OF Mexico. Miles
upon miles of telegraph lines are
given in figures that astonish foreign
ers. To President Diaz was given the
honor Of completing the great work Of
the drainage Of the valley Of Mexico,
which has made the capital 50 notably
healthy in comparison to former years.
This important engineering problem
was commenced 300 years ago. but
owing to insurmountable difficulties
the project never m~Rterialized until
the preesnt era of peace and enlight-
eminent. To President Diaz is also
due the Inauguration OF numerous
great port works, besides many other
enterprises during recent years.
