Railroads

W tn Canal

Washington, d. c.. April 2S.-Figures
which have been prepared by the gov
ernments experts showing that in
19os, Si0.OOO,00 worth of traffic was
handled by the Isthmian railways in
transporting goods from the west to
the east coast OF the country, are caus-
ing considerable CONSERVATION in off
cial circles here. II is believed If this
amount of traffice is kept up The va
r'ous transisthnian f4.lwevs viii come
into serious competition with the Pan
anna canal when It is completed.
At present there are two railway
lines operating across the narrow neck
of land connecting North and South
America. One crosses the Isthmus of
Panama and belongs to the United
States government; the other crosses
the isthmus Of Tehauntepec The Pan
anna road is forty miles long and the
Tehauntepec road is 1870 miles in
length. The one at Panama, being
owned by the government is now
largely devoted to traffic growing out
of the building Of the great canal. The
one at Tehauntepec was constructed
chiefly with British capital and is con
trolled in part by the Mexican govern
ment and was built expressly for han
ding freight between the Atlantic and
Pacific
Some idea may be gained as to the
profits accrued by the Tehauntepec
road when it is remembered that it
has only been opened two years ago
it carried during 1907 and 1907 be-
tween $60OOO,OOO and $70,OOO,OO worth
of merchandise passing between the
Atlantic and Pacific ports of the Unit
ed States. The Panama railway, en-
gagged chiefly in canal work, carried
in 1907 about 100000 worth Of mer-
chandise originating in the United
States.
Although it was planned before the
earliest transcontinental railways in
the United States, the Tehauntepec
railroad was not completed from ocean
to ocean until 1894, and even then
was so badly built that a partial re-
construction became necessary. The
road was reconstructed and modern
steel docks and piers were provided
at the eastern and western terminals
by which transfer from the hold Of the
vessel to the car direct is accomplished
by steam and electric power.

lowest ebb, and in this country, where
womannood Is the highest ideal of the
nation, it has reached its most ex-
alted state. And California is ahead
of all the states of the union in it's
regard for womanhood, and its broad
clean civilization,

Sympathy Led to a Cure

when my little boy was seven
weeks old, eczema began to come on
his face. 1t caused him intense suffer-
ing, and we had three or four different
doctors and tried as many different
medicines, but still he grew worse all
the time. His face became one en-
tire scab and his head was nearly
covered with the eczema, and there
were patches on his back and shoul-
ders- One day a neighbor looking at
him with tears In her eyes, said:

things that had done him no good.

Hoods that bought a bottle. This
was in April. and by August there was
no trace OF eruption on his head. back
or shoulders. only a very little on one
cheek and under his chin His appe-
tite improved wonderfully. and he is

whatever of eczema. Naturally we
