long, the shortest of all the roads which con
meet the Atlantic and Pacific oceans Its to-
tai mileage is less than 20 and il runs from
Puerto Barrios on the Caribbean sea to
Guatemala City on the top Ct the pass
thence on over the mountains and thence to
san Jose de Guatemala the port on the Pa
ciic The distance from Barrios TO the CAPT
tai is lbs miles, and from here to San Jose
it is just under Is miles.
Regular trains are running over both these
roads, and when Secretary Knox was here
he crossed the continent that way. He was
taken from one ocean to the other on special
cars, with pilot engines running along i'll
front to forestall any danger OF accident,
and--the hnkind say-to be sure that no
dynamite mines had been planted to blow
up the train. The road was decorated for
the occasion, and was lined with palm
branches, flags and school children process
sions from one end to the other There were
bands at all Of the stations and. when the
cars passed along the shores OF Lake Amitit-
Ian. fleet Of canoes manned by Indians
went through certain maneuvers in his
honor
The Guatemala Railway.
The road from Guatemala City to the At
lantic is now largely owned BY Minor c.
Keith, and other capitalists, supposed to be
associated with the United Fruit company,
and ! am told that they have made arrange
ments to acquire the other roads OF Guate-
mala. This is the Guatemala road which
was formerly called the Northern railway.
Its first section was laid out and built by an
American engineer named Miller 1t was be-
gun in 1884 as a government project and it
was then provided that every Guatemalan
should pay 81 i year to aid i'll its building.
The work was started but war broke ont,
and the funds for the railroad had to be used
to support the president.
The year following another contract was
made, and along III 1892 the work was again
under way. At that time 10 per cent 81 the
salaries of the public officials, and 5 per cent
OF all the town revenues, were ordered to be
set aside for railroad construction The CON
tracts were let and along about 1896 or 1897
five sections had been built extending from
the seaeoast $50 miles up the mountains
At that place the road stopped II began
at the ocean, and its terminus was a Jungle.
Many OF the ties rotted and the rails rusted.
until 1904, when Sir William Van Horne,
Minor c. Keith and General Tom Hubbard
got new concession for it, and pushed it
on to its completion
1t was finished in January, 1908. and it is
now one of the best roads in Central
America
This Northern railway is we'll built The
gauge is three feet, and. with the exception
of one place, the greatest grade is per cent
For short distance it is more than per
cent. The road has over 800 steel bridges,
one of which is more than 600 feet long and
another 743 feet long The latter bridge is

~ w 1t already comes to the
MSs-..1M boundary OF the republic and
AA22LSSNM only Is or 30 miles OF track
are yet to be laid to connect
it with the Guatemala Central, which COM
prises the lines running from here to the
port Of San Jose, on the Pacific, and those
which cover the western slope OF this coun-
try. Indeed, travellers can now go to Mex-
co City by rail, piecing out the short break
Of a days ride on mule Moreover, extern
sve plans are under way to extend the
Guatemalan railways into Salvador and Cos
ia Rica, and within a comparatively short
time we shall be able to reach the Panama
canal by railway.
BY Tram to Guatemala.
In this way Guatemala City SONY within
about four DAYS from Mexico City When
the break is completed it will be only three
days. and the time to St. Louis will be less
than SIX days, while that to New York will
be just about one week. From Guatemala
City to St. Louis the distance is 1921 miles.
To New \ ork il is 1884 miles. III only about
700 miles less than from New cork to San
Francisco. 1t needs only an extension OF
little more than 50 miles to connect the
roads here with those q Salvador, and the
day seems to be fast coming when the Pan
American railway from New York to
Buenos Aires will be in operation. The
distance between these two points by rail
will be only little over 10000 miles, and
OF this between 5000 and 1000 miles have
already been buit Add to that an extern
sion equal to the distance between here and
New York, and VIC shall have this great i'll
tereontinental railway with several hundred
miles to spare.

HAD NOTHING ON
Ole HANSON

Bowman Pioneer: Ole Hanson the
Bowman justice OF the peace and reaI
, estate man, returned last week from
Bismarck, where he had been in at
tendance at district court. Mr.. Han
son was charged with having obtained
money under false pretenses, and his
trial came up at Bismarck last week.
Before the first witness for the state
had completed his testimony the pre-
siding judge dismissed the case
against Mr.. Hanson.
The case grows out of some mort
gage foreclosure matters in Bowman
and Billings counties. Mr.. Hanson
had collected the money from parties
against whom mortgage foreclosure
proceedings had been started, and
sent it to the parties holding the mort
cages with the request for a release
of mortgage. a.
There were two of these cases, and
Mr.. Hanson sent in a draft for one
and a check for the other. The re-
lease for n party was sent, but not
the other, so as Don as Mr.. Hanson
found this out he stopped payment on
the check and demanded the release
before he put up the money. This
did not suit the Bismarck parties and
a warrant was issued at Bismarck
charging Mr.. Hanson as above stated.
Mr.. Hanson stated at the time that
they were trying to bluff him, and it
appears that such was the case.
Mr., Hanson's enemies in this cOun-
ty have made considerable of a blow
about that gentleman being arrested
a criminal charge. 1t is now up
to them to come out and make a co..
rection. ,
1t Is possible that Mr.. Hanson may |
bring a suit for damages against the !
parties.
