Observation-Disclosures
Peru's New Railroad Lines.

The long-awaited railroad connect
ing the west coast OF South America
with the Amazon seems at last TO be
almost in sight. The Peruvian gov
eminent has granted a provisional
concession TO a German firm, and sur-
lyeys will coon begin.
The Amazon, IL will be remem-
bered, nearly cuts South America in
two. Navigation is possible clear up
to Iquitos, at the eastern foot of the
Andean slope, only about 400 miles
from the Pacific. There has never
been either railroad or wagon road
from there westward.
AS a result, Peruvian products des-
tined for Iquitos are generally taken
all the way round to Liverpool, re-
shipped to Para, and there reshipped
again. Peruvian rubber is carried
down the Amazon and shipped as
Para rubber, instead OF going out by
way of the west coast.
The new railroad will bring Iqultos
within ten days of the Pacific coast,
instead OF the six months from a
Peruvian port to the Amazon head
quarters. In short. this little strip
of railroad, only about 400 miles
long, will mean to Peru and the
upper Amazon country very much
what the first transcontinental line
meant to our own western states.
The plan - to build the road in from
the port of Paita and over a pass at
an attitude of 1000 feet. This is
extremely low for the Andes-the
Oroya railroad, a little farther south
in Peru, climbing 1880 feet in
order to cross the range. The Cost
will be about SIS, O,OO0.-Collier'
Weekly.

TURKISH
CABINET RESIGNS on ACCOUNT
OF FAILURE.
Policy of Premier Does Not Suit the
Young Turk Party at All.

Constantinople, Dec. 29.-The
Turkish cabinet resigned. following
the resignation earlier OF Hilmi
Pasha.
II is reported that serious con-
flicts have occurred at Bagdad. This
is not confirmed officially.
The cabinet was constituted May
8. last, and parliament, with scarce
ly a dissenting voice. voted conf
denee in the ministry, after the gov
ernment's policy, including econo-
mics 10 meet the financial deficit and
the eradication of the cause of the
kdana outbreaks was explained.
The committee on union and pro-
gress. which was the moving spirit
in ttat overthrow Of the former
sultan, has, since the change of adj
mipistration, retained a grip on the
government machinery. Recently the
committee demanded the resigna-
ton Of the minister of public works
and this was complied with.
The grand vizier's program did
not satisfy the wishes of the Young
Turks.

SUGAR CANE CULTIVATION
An Interesting Description Of sugar
Cane and Syrup Making.

Sugar cane belongs to the same
general family as sweet or Indian
corn, and from purely physical
viewpoint resembles them closely. In
appearance the chief distinction Is
the body, or stalk. When ordinary
corn is ripe. the body. or stalk. is
intensely green. whereas that OF the
sugar cane Is purple.
Those who have never caught n
vision OF a full grown Louisiana
cane field swinging gently 90 and
fro with sea-llke rolls and undula-
lions; who never heard the gentle
rustling and musical murmurlngs OF
the millions of bright green blades
swaying lazily to the bidding Of n
fragrant. seml-troplcal breeze; who
never saw one flooded with the soft
rays OF an autumn moon or glisten
and sparkle with dew drops at early
morn like a royal diadem-these
have missed the most inspiring sight
II is mans privilege 10 witness.
Il is from the stalk that the lus-

The plot OF Gust Woman's

of young wife with radical views
as to the sanctity of the marriage

seems triumphant. During the &C
ton OF the play, which finally brings
the true wife hard won victory, ex-
tremely strong situations occur that
hold the attention of the audience
until the drop of the final curtain. A
humorous little love story running
through the play, between two very
enthusiastic young people, furnishes
a pleasant vein of comedy and re-
lieves the play from too great pathos.

We seldom hear of the soldier
horseshoer in the United States
army, writes a correspondent of the
Horseshoer's Journal. When / was
an enlisted man we had very poor
pay, but notwithstanding We had a
good many real Al horseshoers in
the army.
We had poor material as well as
poor men to work with. Our shoes
were of the heaviest kind. generally
all made over one last, as the say
ing goes. had to juggle the old
fashioned good enough" shoes and
nails. The tools issued to us were
very few and OF the most primitive
kind.
In the last few years this has all
changed. Tools and shoes and nails
are of the latest and best.
The war department established a
school for farriers and blacksmiths
at FIT. Riley. Kan. A young man
enlisting nowadays and claiming to
be horseshoer is sent there and il
found promising is instructed theo-
retically and practically for six
months without expense to him.
Very good men are being turned out
from these to serve their three years
in the army.

This comparison does not show
that the actual cost OF living neces-
stiles have decreased. while, on the
contrary. ii shows an increase in the
principal staples, such as bread, live
stock and provisions.
II Is on the basis OF this increase
that the increase of wages Is demand
ed. The railroad operators claim
the Increase is not sufficient to war
rant a raise in wages and figure II
only az .27 per cent.
The plan OF railroad accounting
forced on the railroads by the inter-
state commerce commission will be
advanced as another reason why the
wages of employees cannot be reduced
This objection was explained by a
prominent railroad official today.
''The railroads cannot charge to
capital now many Of the improve
ments and equipments that we form
erly charged to that account" said
this official. "Over in Indiana.
where a railroad bought new cleo
trio headlights. they were charged to
operation, and not capital invested
under the new order of things. Charg
ing such improvements to operation
leaves less for division and less for
employees salaries This is only pne
instance of how the new accounting
affects the wages of railroad en-
ployes."
Another proposition which has
been advanced by the interstate COM
merce commission. and which is ag-
itating the railroad managers, Is the
limiting Of the payment of dividends
on the value Of production only. The
outstanding securities of most roads
are many times the reproduction

PRESENT TABLE SHOWING DE
CREASED LIVING.
President Underwood, OF Erie, Says
Workmen Are Unreasonable I'm
Demanding More Pay.
WILL GET NO MORE WAGES.

New York, Dec. 29.--Following
the statement of William c. Brown.
Of the New York Central. that the
railroads would meet the advance in
the cost OF living by an increase in
wages II IL was found on inyestiga-
ton that the cost of living had ma
terially increased, II became known
that the railroads are convinced that
no substantial increase In living
prices can be shown.
Railroad presidents in the city
would not discuss this phase OF the
labor situation confronting them.
but President +. ID. Underwood, OF
the Erie, frankly declared that no
such increase In the cost OF living
to railroad employees existed.
These men do not live in the
large cities like New York and Chi
cago, where the prices Of food and
commodities have gone up" said
Mr., Underwood. "The great bulk OF
these million and half employees
live in communities where food and
provisions are cheap. They live In
agricultural centers along the rail-
roads. For instance. the men on the
Erie do not live In Jersey City. Many
Of them live In Port Jarvis. The
problem OF the cost of living affects
those who live in large cities and APP
plies less to railroad employees than
any other class OF laboring men.
There is no danger OF a general
railroad strike" continued Mr.. I'm
derwood. There will be no general
demand for increased wages by rail
road employees. Every wage Garner
wants to have his wages increased,
but railroad employees are reasonable.
They are perfectly willing as a mass
to wait until the railroads have re-
couped from the hardships of the
last panic in a measure.
There is no reason why the rail-.
roads men should have an increase
at the present time. Their wages
were not reduced during the panic.
and only those who were paid By
mileage suffered. They simply got
less work. The bulk OF the railway
employees were unaffected financially
by the panic"
In spite OF Mr.. Underwood's as
surance that there would be no gen
eral demand for increased wages by
railroad men. II was reported that
the Brotherhood OF Railway Train
men intends 10 ask for increases
ranging from to 90 per cent. next
Monday on roads east of Chicago
Such an increase would affect the
wages OF $4,000 men.
Mr.. Browns statement that the
railroads would assume no arbitrary
position in meeting the demand for
an increase in wage. has left the
way open for amicable discussion OF
the problem OF the cost OF living
The railroad managers have fortified
themselves. however. with state
ment showing that the cost OF var.
ious staple products Is lower at the
present time than before the panic in
1907.
