siderable data relating to the public it'll
ity corporations lie has been taking the
records Of the developments Of these com
panies and comparing them with the rail-
roads and industrials. Commenting on the
situation yesterday he said:
"A few years ago public utility issues
were considered in the light OF an expert
ment, so far as the public was concerned.
But that time has passed. To-day gas
and electric light, heat and power com
panies are established in the minds OF
the investors, and the securities of these
corporations have reached degree of pop
ularity which is not excelled by even the
railroads and industrials.
1T Is entirely natural that public utilities
should increase in popularity, as every
man and woman who lives in a town or
city where gas or electricity is in Use
nand which the growth OF population is
constantly showing for gas and electrici-
~. Then there is feeling OF security
that comes from the fact that these is

THE MAN BEHIND THE GUN.

With the opening of the overseas
railroad exhibit at Key West today,
another advance step in railfoading Is
being celebrated. Henry NJ. Flaglcr
was the man who decided that the
work should be done, but j. X. Par
rott. president of the Florida East
Coast Railroad. is the man who SAID
that il could be done.
After Mr.. Flagler had looked over
the ground-or water--he asked Mr..
Parrot if he thought it possible To
build the extension. The latter an
swered, unhesitatinely: YES. Flag

PARROT did the rest. and did it well.
In modern railroading there has not
been a similar situation as confronted
PARROT. But he was equal to the
task, and with brilliant skill he mar
shalled his engineers and men and.
under his direction the stupendous
difficulties were gradually. but surely
overcome. until today this railroad
over the sea is an accomplished fact,
and one of the wonders of railroad
construction.
During the first three years OF the
work. 10000 men were taken to the
keys. Most of these were poor work"
men, and about 1000 men were all
that could be kept at work at an!
one time. Thus the task of supplying
laborers for the undertaking was one
which required the genius of man
of ability. This, however, was not the
