is my belief, however, that 1t would be
better now to sell all of the school lands
and invest the proceeds. A person who has
school land under lease Is not as particu-

owned It. In the latter case he would
rotate his crops and take care hat he did

is not so much at stake and the lessee is in
cases liable to wear out his land in an

RAILROAD INTO L,svAN DESERT
New Line That Adds Fertile Province

The new railway which is to bring
the ancient Osages of Kharga into

Hamadi. the celebrated sugar center,
and proceeds through the most ba.,
rem country. On the way one passes
countless Roman ruins, and the seen
cry right along is of the most bold,
fascinating and varying type. For
most OF the journey the line follows
the old caravan route. A great deal
OF difficulty was encountered during
the construction, owing to the pres.
ence of limestone and rocks In sever.
al places the embankment had to be
built up to the level of the rocks. This
was due to the fact that if the line
had pierced the rocks it would have
| been rendered impossible at certain
periods of the year on account of the
sand, which drifts with the wind and
covers up all apertures on the face of
the desert. The work will result in
the addition of new provincc-tl:at

that the railroads consumed, in one

the old impression has survived
through changes in the channels of
consumption of which iron and steel
manufacturers ought to have kept
closer track. The change is due large

it would appear that the importance
of railroad buying, as foreshadowing
the future of the iron and steel trade,
