tos cuya AUTHENTICATED es incontroverti
bile, que Portasanta Sc llamaba Porto
santo cuando el glorioso nauta, sin
otro gu1a que su inspiration, sin otro
caudal que su fe, sali6 de Galicia para
|desempenar ell prowidencial encargo de
integrar ell Planeta.
Pero hay algo, y aun algos, con tan
ia fllerza como ESQ, tai vez con mas
fuerza que todo ESQ, para probar que
ell Almirante era gallego. En- algunos
de los pueblos citados, habitan Cole
nes y F'onterosas, es decir, habla quie
nes llevaban los .apellidos de Colon en
la epopa del descubrimiento, segun
consta en- manuscritOs de entonces, que
no son sino testimonies de pactos &C
lebrados por ascendientes del descubri
dor de America. 5Que pals puede pre-
sentar t1tulos de tan alto valor para
inscribir en- el registro de la Historic
la patria de Colon?
Mucho dice tambien, en- favor de la
causa que sostiene ell senior Garcia de
Ila Riega, ell apodo que el Almirante lie
|puso q su nave. Sc dfffamaba "Santa
Maria y por ESQ, sin duda, 8 por algo
|que con ESQ Sc haya relacionado, lie pu
so ell sobrenombre de la "Gallega''
Il Que empeho, senor, que empeilo pod1a
ltener Colon en- recordar perennem ente
IA Galicia, como no fIera para dedicar
|le las ofrendas que le deb1a? iQue re
cuerdos dej6 en- ell Nuevo Mundo para
otros palses, 9 para los pueblos que pc
lean todavfa por la honra de haber me
I edo su cuna?
Si en- NADIA de ESQ sc encontrase ra
z0n para asegurar que Colon era gale
go, algunas Sc encontrarlan Ell sus Me
morias, donde hay frases, originaltn ente
galaicas, como verbigracia, "el sol tie
ne espeto'', expression que fue torpe
mente alterada por quienes no la enten
dieron, 8 maliciosamente correglda por
|qulenes la hayan entendIdo. SQue
|quiere decir, entire algunos aldeanos de
Galicia, "el sol tiene espeto','? Quiere
decir, sencillamente, que Ell sol quema 8
abrasa. Y en- tai sentido empleo Co
lon esa Erase, que lie pareci6 de molde
para decir cuan picante es el sol en- las
Antillas.
q como yo no pod1a decir nada mas
ia mi interlocutor, porq11e NADIA mas re

PRIMITIVE SURVEYING.
Beers With the Fieetest Horses Got
the Biggest Farms.


According to legend OF Shutdown.
n. Y. the township was originally
measured Off by primitive method
The first settler was one Smith. who
bought from the Indians as much land
as bull could go around in day
Now. Smith had smart bull. trained
to carry him and to half trot and half
lope at n rapid pace That day the
bull was up TO the mark BY night he
had inclosed so much land that the
amazed Indians nicknamed its rider
Bull Smith.
This tradition has its counterpart
among the Beers OF South Africa.
Their runs" as the farms of these
Dutchmen are called, contain, general
" speaking. from 1000 to 6.0O0 acres.
of which only few acres are under
cultivation Small monuments OF
stones piled up Mt certain points mark
the boundary lines.
The first settlers. knowing nothing
Of surveying. measured of their
runs" by horsepower. Having piled
up n lot of stones. the Beers would
start from them and ride in straight
line for half an hour as fast as their
horses could carry them.
Hating. each rider would build an
other beacon and again ride for half
an hour nj right angles TO his first line.
Then he would pile M another stone
beacon. Two more turns and an hour
more OF riding brought him back to
his starting point
The square tract inclosed within the
two hours ride and the four beacons
became his farm. or course the Boer
who owned the fleetest horse obtained
the largest tract of land.-Harper's

DOUBLE TRACK
WILL Be FINISHED
FOR EXPOSITION
PRESIDENT LOVETT SAYS CON-
STRUCTION WORK WILL BE
RUSHED TO COMPLETION.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 2.-That
double-tracking of the trans-conti-
mental lines of the Southern Pacific
and Union Pacific is to be completed
for the Panama-Paciflc exposition is
the statement made by President
Robert S. Lovett, of the Hartman
lines, on his arrival here.
The railroad chief declared the
decision to double-track the system
was the result of an inspection of
the business condition which would
have been made at this time, no
matter what the location of the ex.
position had been. The work will
be prosecuted. according to Presi-
dent Lovett, in sections, distributed
over such a period of time that 10
stringency will be caused by the
expenditure of such huge sum.
The actual work will be in charge
of Vice President E. E. Calvin at
this end, and Vice President Ban
croft on the eastern end.
Judge Loyett declared the rate
decision of the interstate commerce
commission would have no effect. He
admitted that some investors have
been frightened by the decision, but
he said that only series Of such
decisions could harm the railroads
That the sober business sense of
the country would prevent such a
series was the declaration of the
railroad head.
Beginning last night, Judge Lovett
expects to hold several conferences
with local officials of the Southern

victims. He testified that every
thing was normal with the cages
when he first operated them. After
S:15, according to Lundlee, the col
lar of the shaft was like unto a
smoke stack. He further testified
that on presumption he refrained
from lowering the cage "the last
time owing to the fact that he had
previously hauled eight load.
Later the witness stated there
were two sudden jerks when bring
ing up the last load. Once there
was a stop, which indicated that
man was falling off at a wall
plate; again this was repeated and
again it was stopped, indicating that
another body had fallen off.
Mr. Lundlee stated that it was
absolutely believed by him that one
man fell off on the first stop and
that the second jolt four men were
lost.
He stated that the shoes on the
cage were bent on both sides, show
ing that men fell through on either
side.
Mr.. Ryan asked: why did yol
assume that all on the 100000
level were out?"
Because we have a certain mum
