tenn, which in addition to ensuring the control of the country, would develop it's boundless resources. Unfortunately, the physical con- figuration of Mexico made railway construction anything but an easy task; but, with confidence in it's rulers and in it's future all difficul. ties were overcome, and Mexico has now 22 302 kilometres of railway equipped and in operation. This was yesterday, and represents prin- cipally the mileage in the eastern States. Today the development of the West has begun, and from Sonora on the north to the isthmus of Tehuantepec on the south, there exists stretch of territory which for richness of its mineral deposits and the potential wealth of it's agricultural resources could not perhaps be duplicated anywhere on the American continent.
 It was the wonderful possibilities of this rich west coast which in- duced the greatest owner and builder of railroads America has ever known, Mir. E. H. Hartman, to decide that as far as possible this territory should be made sub- sidiary to the southern Pacific sys- tenn. For that purpose he con- tracted to build no less than 1,472 miles of railroad, the greater part of which was planned to traverse Sonora, and most of this work was completed before his untimely death. Already the effect of this development is being seen on every hand; hamlets are growing into towns and mining camps into cities, whilst seaside villages are rapidly becoming important ports. In no case is this wonderful devel- opment better seen than at Guay- mas, the chief port of Sonora, Scarcely known a decade ago, it is now port of the first rank from which start no less than five steam ship lines to various important centres of the Pacific coast.
 The generous treatment and the security which General Diaz and his colleagues have ensured to ] foreign capital invested in the country, as we'll as his equally , generous treatment of the railroad constructor, has already more than ) realized the Presidents widest : dreams of his country's progress. Yet, to those who know Mexico, and especially the Western States, this development is only in it's in- ) fancy, and Mexico should soon see herself recognized as ranking very little, if any, behind the United States as one of the greatest pro- : ducers of the worlds mineral and , agricultural wealth.

THE MAKERS OF MEXICO.
(From the London Morning POst)

after hls election as President ot the United States, was a pictures que exchange of international courtesies on the Rio Grande with the beloved and veteran President of Mexico, General Porfirio Diaz. It is now stated that President Taft is to demonstrate still further his respect for the Father of Modern Mexico" by commencing an exchange of visits.
 The result of such a visit it is difficult to forecast. But, there is no doubt that our American cous- ins, who have already reaped en- ormous profits on their invest ments in Mexico, regard it as diplomatic move of supreme com mercial importance. Until recent ly, English investors were inclined to reward the States east of the Sierra Madre as the "Ultima Thule" of good things. The Ameri- cans. on the other hand, willing followers of Horace Greeley's ad- vice, "Go West, young man," have found abnndantly remunerative ground in Western Mexico for their capital, whether the investments sought were railways, agriculture, or mines. The thousands of in- vestors who have interested them selves in Mexico with such satis- factory results both for the capital ist and the country, since Por6rio Diaz took up the reins of govern ment, will be greatly interested in this visit to the veteran President.
 The life of Por6rio Diaz has been so closely linked with the rise of his country as to make the story of the man and of the nation almost inseparable. Originally intended for the priesthood, Diaz forswore his ecclesiastical career for that of a soldier. He was barely twenty when he joined the army, and from that moment the advance ment of the nation and of Diaz have been almost constantly up- ward and onward. For a quarter of a century, beginning with 1850 Diaz led many an internecine struggle, and the history of Mexico during that period might be de. scribed as one broad red stripe oI carnage. Through all this strug- gle the figure of Diaz towers; a per sonality so virile, a will so deter mined, courage so unrivalled broke down in the end all opposi tion and allied the warning factions into the united whole which is the Mexico of to-day. It was not unti the autumn of 1876 that Diaz was made President of Mexico, but witt an interregnum of four years wher Sehor Gonzalez, was elected, he hal been President ever since.
 Diaz has proved himself not only a brave and efficient soldier, but { wise and able statesman. The law that he promulgated were admins tered and, being administered swept aside the hordes of highway men, established schools and pun ished political corruption. He wa able to arrange for the efficient col lection and expenditure of nationa revenues, and has placed his coun try's integrity upon an enviabl plane-for it is known that Mex ico's laws, pledges, and concession stand for just what they say, an'

IoilCJ was uCpICCldICu Oy Ldll, du- visers were not wanting who urged the repudiation of her debts. hut Diaz stood firm. He added G20 GOO. 900 to the annual revenues of Mex leo, which up to that date amounted only to g3,000000, and yet con- stantly lessened the burden of the taxpayer.
 To-day in his eightieth year, he is still the strong man. During recent discussions on the proposed amendment to the mining law, cer- tain clauses were embodied by Congress which were considered inimical to the foreign investor in Mexico. When presented for his signature, President Diaz reported this new law back to Congress with the objectionable clauses eliminat. ed. In no way could the members have better expressed their respect and loyalty for the aged President than by their immediate accept ance of his amendments.
 The Vice President of Mexico, Sefior Ramon Corral, is one of the most whole-hearted supporters of General Diaz, and it is not an un. important coincidence that both
 President and Vice. President hail from the Western States. Ramon Corral is native of Alamos, in the wonderfully rich State of So-
 nora. It was this State which was the scene. of the late MT. Harri- mans activities in connection with the Pan-American line, and his important extension and consoli- dation of Southern Pacific inter ests. The Vice. President also acted
 as Minister of the Interior, and in
 that rOle has had a great part in
 the administration which has led
 to the prominent position that
 Mexico now holds among the na-
 tions of the world.
 The discrimination of the Presi.
 dent shows itself in the high char
 acter and exceptional ability of the
 Ministers occupying the great
 offices of State in Mexico. Itwould
 have been difficult for any of the
 European Powers, with their cen
 turies of precedents and accumu lated financial knowledge to have , produced wiser or more skilfu Minister of Finance in the inter ests of his country than Senor Jose Yves Limantour.

OUT LOOK FOR AIR
LINE IS PROMISING
Burt Fitzgerald, President
of Gary Investment Co.,
Is Optimistic.

Burt Fitzgerald, president of the
Gary Investment company, was in Gary
yesterday on real estate business, in
connection with his firm. Among other
large deals which he reported Mr.. Fitz-
gerald brought the news to Gary that
the Chicago New York Air line was
now able to finance their line through
to Gary and that the work would start
at once
For the past few days officials of the
company have been negotiating with
real estate dealers for a right of way
from WestvilIe from which place they
are now extending their line towards
Gary. Mr. Fitzgerald, who owns four
hundred acres Of property near Lake
station gave the company the right of
way through his property with the pro-
vision that they were to build the line
within nine months or the property
would revert back to the owner.
This means that within the next year
cars will run from Gary direct to La
porte. All of the contracts with prop
erty owners have been on the nine
months basis so that there is little
question but what they are about to
complete the gap between the Gary
and Laporte space. Mr.. Fitzgerald also
expressed his opinion that they were
able to finance this section Of the road

MARSHALL MAY INVESTIGATE
STATE TREASURER'S OFFICE
Report Current That Discrimination Has Been Shown
Toward repositories No Shortage of Funds
Anywhere Hadley and Marshall Talk.

Just why this alleged discrimination
was made was not stated by those
who talked about the matter.
HadIey Denies Determination.
Hadley denies that there has been
any discrimination in favor of the
Frenzel institutions. He says that the
posit only about $4,000 of the state
funds, while the Capital National bank
has nearly double that sum. The Cap
ital National bank is owned by DAN
lei G.. Reid of New York, formerly OF
Richmond.
HadIey also denies that there Is any
of the states money on deposit any
where except fnNstate repositories.
Hadley says the depository law does
not require him to maintain proper
tionate deposits in all of the state de-
positories. A member of the legisla-
ture declares that the section of the
law relating to maintaining proper
tionate deposits refers only to coun-
tbs. cities, etc.
Whether there is anything else back
of these rumors or whether there is
anything else wrong in the treasurers
office cannot be learned. But there
