The engine of the. Sunday train on
the Rock Island broke down half mile
south of Extra. The passengers were
compelled to walk to town while new

seven. On the return trip to Atlantic
the engine broke again and the train
did not reach Atlantic until after two
o'clock. A similar accident befei the
noon train on MONDAY and it was
annulled, We are wondering if the
approaching democratic administration
had anything to do with the train SER
yiceand the weather of thepast week.

common cart here has wooden wheels with
holes IN the center for the axles, and it is
drawn by oxen yoked by their horns. The
loads are pulled by the head instead OF the
shoulders and necks. and the treatment Of
the animals seems cruel to an extreme.
American axes are gradually coming into
use, but the most OF the cutting of the light
er sort IS done with the machete, much like
corncutter. Every native Central Ameri-
can carries machete. It is good weapon

enables him to make his way through the
Jungle. 1t cuts his grass for hav and the
green corn for his cattle After the cattle
are dead, the machete chops them up to
make beef and is also employed in hog kill
ing. 1t serves to cut out the weeds from the
corn patch and with it the native punches
holes in the ground where he drops the
grains of corn at planting time. He then
covers the corn with his heel, and sitting
down, lets nature do the rest

1t IS a big task to start a banana planta-
ton, and the plans must be carefully made.
The estate is first surveyed and paths and
roads are laid out, the same being connected
by tramways and railroads. And then the
farm settlements have to be built and in
each there must be a store, carpenter shop
and a blacksmith shop and also the stables
and the homes of the workmen. Some of

The green mahogany IS not easy to fell,
and the bringing Of large tree to the
ground is a days task for two men. The
cutting is done about 10 feet from the base
on account OF the wide spurs which project
from The trunk and platform or seaffold
has to be erected where the sawmen and

After the trees are felled roads have to be
made To the rivers and the streams on the
way must be brdged. Much of the wood is
hauled upon rude trucks which have wheels
Of solid wood sawed from the end of log
and having iron boxes fitted into the center.
Much OF the work is lone in the night by
torchlights OF pitchpine All this is in the
dry season. The rafting is done in the late
summer or fall and the camps break up
about the middle of December. After that
the laborers return to Pelize and they then
receive the balance due them. which results
