Gradually the harsh tones melted to
soft, endearing phrases. The car had
become very crowded. 1t stopped at
Van Ness
The conductor, wedging among pas
sengers, midway of the aisles could not
see the rear steps. With his hand on
the bell cord he suddenly yelled:
How is it back there now"
Its all right: we've made up again"
impulsively responded the young man.

creation of the lake; but since all this
territory lies beneath the level Of the
sea, it is even possible for engineers
to change the course Of the lower
part of the river, so that 1t would
carry water from the Gulf of Cali
fornia to assist in the lakes compile
ton. 1t may be remarked in this con-
nection, however, that there is no
probability at presen' of such series
of possibilities being permitted to
materialize. In the light Of present
considerations, the value of the land
and its products far outweighs the
possible benefits of such lake and
inland port. Nevertheless it is mat
ter worthy of consideration 80.
ITO fill this sunken area with water
from the Colorado River would re-
quire many years. The average flow
of the river during year is said to
be about $1,000 cubic feet per second
This entire amount conveyed into
the lake would be subject to a very
great shrinkage from evaporation.
and it is even possible that this loss
would become so great after the lake
had spread over a certain area as to
equal the inflow from the river, al
though such is hardly probable In
any case, all attempted computations
of such nature would necessarily be
very inaccurate, and may as well be
omitted"

A representative of the Woman's

greater part of ten days with John
d. Rockefeller at his Cleveland home,
says of Mr.. Rockefeller. 1T is no
exaggeration to say he (Rockefeller)
is the most hated, and most interest
ing man in America" In estimating
the multi Millionaire wealth, the ar
ticle, which is graphically illustrated
with photographs loaned by Mr..
Rockefeller, contains this interesting
statement:
When millionaire Marcus DAILY died,
he was generally said to be worth
$5o,ooo,ooo. When his will was pro-
bated, it showed about $4,000, 900.
Senator Hearst was popularity report
ed to be worth, when he died, from
forty to eighty millions. The facts
showed about seventeen millions, and
so. on. So Mr.. Rockefeller's wealth
would be more correctly represented
by about one quarter of the billion
which he has so often been charged
with possessing, and more than half
of this has come of the advance in
many judicious investments long
years ago.

All attempts to control the Colo
RADIO River having failed, it is well to
look the possibilities of the situation
in the face, and to inquire Just what
kind of an inland sea we are likely to
have in the Colorado Desert. This
is done by Charles Alma Byers, of
Los Angeles, California, who writes
thus of it in The Popular Science
Monthly:
This sea would extend from Vol
cano Lake in Mexico to a point a
few miles north of Indio, California,
and would spread over an area of
100 squart miles, with maximum
depth of $50 feet. 1t would be fed by
an irrigation canal intersecting the
Colorado River near Yuma, Arizona,
and its overflow would be carried into
the Gulf of California by the lower
part of the same river. 1t would SUBJ
merge many acres of irrigated and
irrigable land, about a dozen fair
sized towns of more or less impor-
lance, several miles of the Southern
Pacific Railroad, and a number of
rich deposits of valuable minerals.
And the ability to create such a sea
or lake lies simply in abandoning the
present effort to regain control over
this irrigation system.
Dealing still further with posi-
bilities of this nature, it may be
pointed out that the feed-canal of
this inland sea could be widened and
dredged; and thereby could be crea-
ted channel sufficient in dimensions
for the entry of boats from the Gulf.
This would make it possible for coast
steamers to ply between ports on the
Pacific Coast and lake port that
might be established near the present
site of the town of Indio, at the foot
of the eastern slope of the Sierra
Madre Mountains, and with latitude
almost parallel with the city Of Los
Angeles. 1t is true that if the effort
now being made to regain control
over this rebellious system of irri-
CATION should be abandoned to-day,
and nature permitted to reign SUI
preme and unaided by man, it would
be several years before the Colorado
River could possibly complete the

From the New York Journal of Com
merce we learn that construction was

because of complications between an
American contractor and the Mexican
government. the franchise being tor
feited in 1882 A few years ago an

was reconstructed and brought to
completion at cost of more than
$25,ooo,ooo. Says the Journal of Com
merce:
at is calculated that the tonnage
carried over the Tehuantepec route
will be 100000 tons the first year and
will increase progressively To an
extent it will compete with the trans
continental railroads of the United
States and act as a regulator upon
their rates. The control of the Mexi-
can government, which has fifty
year contract with the English COM
pany, upon the expiration of which
the state will have possession of the
railway, can be counted upon to pre-
vent any combination to restrain this
competition. There is every reason
to believe that this line will become
an important factor in commerce be-
tween the Atlantic and Pacific until
the Panama Canal is open Then we
shall see what happens May the con-
summation not be too long delayed"
From the Louisville Courier Jour-
nal we learn further:
"The eastern terminus is but about
$50 miles from New Orleans or less
than half the distance to Colon, the
eastern terminus of the Panama
route; while its Pacific terminal is
correspondingly nearer San Francis
co and other American Pacific ports.
New Orleans and St. Louis have di-
rect railroad connection with Coatza-
coalcos, the eastern terminal, and
large mineral and agricultural portion
of Mexico will find outlet for its pro-
ducts in the same direction"
The St. Louis Globe Democrat
thinks that even the Panama Canal
when completed, will find this Mexi-
can road " rival of some conse-
quence."
