This need was recognized 10 certain extent prior to the with Chile AS far back as June, 1863 the national assembly authorized the president to enter into contracts TOT the building Of railways, and in 1868 a con- cession was granted to a citizen of the United States to build a railway from Cobiji to Potosi with government guaranty of seven Der cent on the capital invested In addition the conces- sion carried grant of land league on each side of the line. number of other concessions were made in 1869, 1873. 1874 1877 1878 and 1879
 In 1904 the Bolivian national office of immi- grafton and statistics issued volume of nearly 400 pages containing the acts decrees and con- sessions in aid of railways. covering the years 1880 to 1904. Every effort was made by the gov ernment during this period to induce capital to invest in railway construction in the country Perhaps nowhere else in the world were such in- ducements held out by any country to secure the end sought as by Bolivia following the termina- tion of the with Chile. These inducements were offers of land, mines, exemption from taxa tion and customs duties. government guaranties financial aid and exclusive privileges. But unfor- tunately for Bolivia the offers were not made in the right quarter.

 In 1904 all that Bolivia had to show in rail- ways a result of 40 years legislation and in- numerable contracts the Guaqui and the Antofagasta roads. The former gave an outlet from La Paz to Lake Titcaca. whence passengers and freight were transported across the lake by boat to the Peruvian port of Puno and thence by the Peruvian railway to Noflendo on the Pacific The total length of the road from Alto of La Paz to Guaqui Lake Titicaca was 87 kilometers (54 miles). The gauge was meter (393 inches) and the rails weighed IS kilograms per meter-about 12 pounds per foot
 The Antofagasta, Bovia's first railway had total mileage of 925 kilometers (573 miles), a gauge of 75 centimeters (29.53 inches) and rails weighing TAO Kilograms per meter or about Il pounds per foot.

RESULT of having lost it's Pacific seaboard province of Antofagasta, follow ing the war with Chile in 1879, Bolivia found itself shut off from the sea and de- pendent upon it's neighbors for an outlet to the great world
 Great as was the blow to national pride, for the Bolivians felt the loss of Antofagasta more keenly than even the French that of the Rhine provinces, and serious as was the loss to the national treasury of the revenues derived from the rich nitrate fields of the lost province, yet the blow was perhaps less heavy than the Boivians themselves then thought.
