All OF these roads are comparatively new and

far south as Medina where Mohammed came after his
flight from Mecca. and where hts tomb is Medina has
something like 10000 people, and 1t is one of the

another is one which connects with the railroads of
Smyrna and Constantnople at Adana. The latter
crosses the country above Aleppo and strikes the
Iigris at Mosul running down that river to Bagdad

deemed about 100000 acres in Egypt
His scheme includes irrigation works in the
plains of Mesopotamia and also navigable canal from
Bagdad on the Tigris to point on the Euphraes ist
below Hit. This would save seventy-hye miles OF
railroad and would make Hit the terminus with the
rivers of the Tigrs and Euphrates to draw from AZ
water transportation routes It is claimed that this
road would pay largely from the freight franc and
that it would have also large. pilgrimage business

Persia to Mecca. 1t would get many passengers who
now travel by the Suez canal to India When the
present system is completed they could go from Paris
to Constantnope by rail thence by this route to
Hit and Bagdad, from where they could steam on to
the Persian gulf and across to India
1t is claimed that the line will not cost more than
$4,000 per mile, about $4,000 600 from Damascus
to Hit.
