OBSTACLES OVERCOME
IN BUILDING RAILROAD
Member of Staff of Pan-Amer.
ican Union Describes
One in Bolivia.

a member of the staH Of the Pan
American Union. writing in the Bulletin.
the magazine published by the union, de-
scribes the completed portion Of the lat
est trans-Andean railway. running be-
tween the Pacific coast and La Paz. capt.
tai Of Bolivia. The writer Of the article
has recently made trip over this noun
tain railway and some Of the obstacles
which have been overcome IN its con-
struction seem unbelievable.
The road was constructed by two
American engineers. Wheelwright and
railway reaches an altitude Of nearly 15.-
600 feet above sea level. A stretch of
twenty-eight miles Of the road is the
cog railway, such as Is seen at Pike s
peak, this being, it Is said. the longest
continuous stretch Of rack railway" in
the world.
Water Line Cost $4,000, 900.
Among other obstacles to tho construc-
tion of the road was the cost Of water.
1t was found that In order to obtain a
continuous water supply the construction
Of pipe line, five inches in diameter.
running clear UP to the region Of per-
petual SHOWS In the high mountains, was
necessary. This line cost 100000 to
construct, but as without 1t water would
have had to be brought down on mule
back at q cost of about s. a gallon the
pipe line was a necessity.
Mineral resources of the region ira
versed by the new railway are rich and
varied. and include vast fields Of almost
pure sulphur, rich copper deposits. q field
Of borate Of soda-borax-averaging two
feet in depth and covering about q 600
acres and QuarrieS of exceptionally fine
onyx. Large silver and lead workings
along the line produce quantities of ore
and the deposits of common salt are SO
extensive and so pure that the salt is
mined in f1fty-pound blocks and marketed
for domestic use without being refined.

Expect Authentic Data.

1t is pointed out that theo fflcials OF the
bureau will not attempt in any way to

Is believed that when Investigations are

comparisons Of remedial legislation will
give the bureau authentic data on the
situation. with the result that valuable
suggestions may be made to prevent the
continuance OF unsatisfactory conditions
When the bureau gets under way, II is
said that the work will be so systema-
tized as to bring results impossible to get
under the present system. whereby yari-
Gus states working along different lines,
attempt to ferret out the cause of unde-
veloped children.
That children in many localities, par
ticularly in manufacturing centers. live
under conditions which greatly hinder
their development is admitted. and Off

the cause Of the trouble, as well as to
make detailed reports Of the actual con-
