day. President DiaZ starting the first
freight train across the iSthInuS of
Tehuantepec, a great many people
heard Of the enterprise for the first
time. Perhaps it is it's rivalry to the
Panama canal as il system of trans
portaton from ocean to ocean that
gives the Mexican undertaking its
chief interest ON this side of the ill.,
ternational boundary line. It is the
opinion of some who have studied the
question that when President Diaz
pressed the button at Salina Cruz. thus
putting the new road in operation, he
started competition that will sevcr

competition between the Ewo will. it is
thought, prove beneficial to the inter-
estS of trade. The Tehuautopec route
is on an average about 1,250 miles
shorter than the Panama voyage bc-

or Honolulu or Japan.

Proof Day

May 20 was proc f-day before q.
5. Commissioner, Byron L. Glow.
About thirty claimants came in on
that date and the day following to
offer evidence in support of their
final communication proofs. In most
cases the evidence shows d more
than usually strict compliance with
the requirements of the laws in
regard to residence upon and cul-
.tiyation of homestead lands.
The ifnpro m en- t S in some
instances have not been very
extensive. This very naturally
results from the difficulty hitherto
experienced by the settlers in OBJ
tanning the materials with which
to make desired improvements.
A recent communication from the
commissioner of the General Land
Office gives the impression that the
Government is inclined to be less
strict in its requirements in regard
to improvements by settlers here,
than in localities more closely Id
touch with transportation facilities.
