tance by way of the Tehuantepec rail- road would be 5,700 miles, and any rail road rate across the isthmus of Te- huantepec less than $5.70 per ton, should take this business from the Suez route. In addition it would save the time that it requires an ordinary cargo vessel to steam 5.700 miles. minus the time required to transfer the freight across the isthmus by rail. This would make an actual saving of time of at least fifteen days. even al lowing the maximum of four days for the tsthmian transit.
 From New York to India and China points. this route would not be so material as the line of least resis- tance from a traffic standpoint would be over the transcontinental lines through San Francisco, Seattle or oth- CT Pacific ports.
 From Liverpool to points in the far east where the distance is the same. the Tehuantepec ship railway could charge the Suez tolls. which are approximately $200 per ton, and com it. Re'e Tor the business with fa'r pf0'-
 Turning to the ports, however. in the United States, the advantages giv- en by this route are also remarkable. From New Orleans to Hong Kong. the saving would be 4,S00 miles over the Suez Canal route. and would yield thu Tehuantepec railway $4.S0 a ton on the basis of equivalent charges by the Suez route. in addition to saving from twelve to fourteen days in time
 From New Orleans to Yokohama the saving over the Suez route would be S,400 miles. which would enable the Tehuantepec railroad to charge $S.4O per ton for the transit of freight on It's railway. on an equivalent basis with Suez and save approximately twenty four days in time.
 From New Orleans t0t Australia. the port of Sydney, the figures would prac- ticaliys behthe same.
 "As there is little question of the ability of this railroad to handle freight from ship to ship for $2.00 ton or less it's ability to build up an enormous bus mess to the far east in competition with the Suez route is plainly manj- fest.

ENGINEER WALLACE
 ON TRANSPORTATION

An address was recently made before the Illinois Manufacturers Associa- tion, by John F. Wallace, late engt- neer-in chief of the Panama canal. It is entitled Some phases of the Pan- anna Problem" and among other mat ters, it touches upon a phase of the subject which is likely to be of ever increasing interest to the people of the United States and that is the Tehuan- tepec Railroad. which is nearing, com. pletion between Coatzacoaicos and Salina Cruz, and in view of the general interest on the subject, MT. Wallace's address with reference to this particu- lar railroad, is herewith given. It is headed The Tehuantepec Railroad in Competition with ''SueZ and Panama.
 While the construction of the Pan- anna canal will confer great benefits on the commerce of the world, the com mercial interests of Great Britain have not been blind to the possibilities of project and route which will, in a large measure, anticipate the future benefits of the construction of the Panama ca nal and give immediate results pending its accomplishments, with strong probability of being able to retain the trade if once secured. I refer to the railroad transportation facilities which are about to be completed in the inter est of British capitalists across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, a distance of about l76 miles
 This railroad is being. constructed in a most substantial manner, and pro- vided with the very best facilities. equipment etc, in order to handle large amount of traffic at the minimum cost per ton. Modern machinery and methods will enable this railroad to conduct a profitable business at rate of not to exceed $2.00 a ton from ship hold to ship hold, and with the best modern loading and unloading facili- ties and terminals the time from ship to ship should not exceed an average of two days.
 It is fair to assume that modern car go steamers are able to handle the average run of ocean freight with prof it on a basis of one tenth of a cent per ton per mile, or in round figures, $1.0O per 1000 miles. The advantage of the Tehuantepec route over the existing route to the far east by way of the Suez canal are as follows:
