w The Railways of Guatemala -


the line from the seacoast as far as the town
of Esqquintla This was COMPLETED about
1880, and little later lie received conces-
sion TO extend it to the capital. This road is
we'll built and well ballasted I took a run
down over it few days ago Its steepesr
grade is about ; IL per cent, but the average
grade IS not more than ~. Nevertheless,
III going from here to Esquntla, distance
OF ~ miles, the fall is nearly 1000 feet.
The ride down to the coast abounds in fine
scenery. There are numerous horseshoe
curves, which equal those OF the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, and you are always in sight
of volcanic mountains You wind your way
out OF one valley into another through hills
covered with cattle now and then seeing cof-
fee plantations and in the lowlands great
fields of sugar
About an hour or so from Guatemala CITY
you reach Lake Amittlan, above which the
towering volcanoes Of Aqua and Fuego look
down and the scene reminds you of Switzer-
land. Lake Amititan is five miles in length
and not more than two miles in width Its
water is beautifully clear. and here and there
are hot springs, which bubble up and breathe
runs in and out along the shores Of this lake,
and in one place it crosses it. At the time
this section was built c. P Huntington was
furnishing the capital, and he was surprised
at the money it took The story is that he
sent word that if the engineers could not find
enough rock they had better wire New York,
and lie would send down silver dollars
enough to make the fill
The West Coast
The western coast is BY far the richest part
of Guatemala 1t has MANY large coffee
plantations. and the coffee traffic forms a big
item offreisht. This will be increased when
the Panama canal IS completed. Recently,
many cacao orchards have been set out, and
this industry is reviving. About 50 years
ago the cacao was carried northward to
Mexico on mules and III some years the
amount sent was millions OF pounds An
other export was coehineal, a dye made from
a bug which covered the cactus about Lake
#Amititlan That dye brought in something
like million dollars yeaR
During my stay here in Guatemala have
talked With the chief railroad men OF the
country, including F. G. Williamson,
manager OF the Guatemala roads; D. B.
.Hodgsdon, manager of.the Central, and
w. +. .essup, the superintendent of the Cen
trail lines. Theyall speak enthusiastically of
the prospects of Guatemaan development.
Mr.. JJesssup estimates that there are 2000
square league OF land in this country which
will grow sugar cane, and that the coffee
plantations might be enormously increased.
He tellsme that there are large forests in the
mountains and extensive tracts which will
grow grain. There are also cotton lands and
tobacco lands and large tracts fitted for the
grazing Of cattle. There is a great deal Of
land belonging to the railroads, and the gov
eminent has much Wild land which may be
acquired by concession.

This road has guaranteed income Of
100000 a year, the concession providing
that the government will insure the 5 per
cent dividend on the 100000 invested in
it. In addition TO this, last year il made
more than 100000, and the traffic is seadi-
" growing.
Port Barrios to Guatemala City
It was over this road that | came into
Guatemala. | landed al Port Barros on one
Of the regular steamers which call there on
their way from Panama to New Orleans.
The port has wide and deep larbor, and
vessels OF the heaviest draft can come to its
docks. The railroads pass for 500 10 miles
through the rich banana plantations Of the
Unite. Fruit company. and carry their
freight right 10 the steamers While Istayed
at Port Barrios about 100000 bananas
were loaded. and on my way over the road
we were some hours passing through the
plantations.
Leaving Port Barrios, the cars go RIGHT
into the jungle They wind their way
through the Met;wua valley, where the soil
is rich, sandy=loam, about | 5 feet deep.

the vegetation is the most lnxuriant to be

such scenery, You enter the great banana es-
.tates, and the cars ian the leaves OF banana

miles OF such. riding. and then You come TO
the mountains where the vegetation IS dryer

Like Arizona
The scenery now suddenly changes II
is almost like crossing from the Valley oil
the Nile into the desert. In the valley the
rainfall is over loo inches per year On ii,
highlands there Is almost no rair. and as
you ascend the mountains you rss through
a region like the desert lands OF New Mexico
or Arizona The ground is dr. and caeti
abound The trees are silver gra, There
does not seem TO be enough moisture 10
color the leaves The only green spots are
along the beds OF streams. We can still sec
the Motagua river but beyond is banks IS
the desert. In its upper course the river
look not unlike the Jordan, and the vegeta-
ton is no more luxnriant than that which
lines the famed river OF Palestine.
Still farther inland the mountains make
one think OF the Rockies. They are bare.
ragged and torn by ravines ard canyons
There are thirsty trees. upon which hang
thirsty air plants the orchids Of the desert.
Now and then you pass little valley with
irrigated patches along the stream running
through it. Here are matched huts, the
homes Of the Indians Such valleys are but
few hundred feet wide, and tle population
IS scanty.

American Railway Men.

This train had an American engineer and
an American conductor and this is the case
with the other railways OF Guatemala. The
natives have no experience, and they cannot
be trusted TO handle the trains The con-
duetors receive SlO0 gold per month, and
the engineers have similar salaries The con-
duetors tell ME that the Guatemalans are
great travellers and that both the first and
second-elass passenger trafficis good First
class fares are il the neighbofhood OF ;
cents gold per mile, and the seeond-classs
are about half the first-elass. The Indians
patronize the roads and the conductors say
that they have TO watch them carefully to
collect all the fares. They are smart and
will try 10 cheat their way from station to
station man will buy a ticket for a short
distance, and then change his ticket while en-
route, taking that OF passenger who has
a ticket for longer slipping the tickets
back and forth SO that he gets good part
Of his ride without pay. Many men buy
tickets short Of the station where they ex-
pect to get off, trusting that the conductor
will forget them | wonder if this is not
sometimes the same in our country.
The Guatemala Central Railway.
The railroad from Guatemala City to the
Pacific ocean is known as the Guatemala
Central and connected with it are the
tensions which run northward almost to the
boundary OF Mexico. This system has three
or four ports on the Pacific, the most Of
which are open roadsteads, SO that passen-
gers have to be frequently landed in baskets.
It was at San Jose that Secretary Knox was
let down out OF our war vessel as St. Paul
was let down from the falls of Damascus, in
a basket This is the only similarity | have
ever observed between st, Paul and the sec
rotary.
The Guatemala Central was the first rail
road built in Guatemala. It was begun about
1877. when an American William
Name, who had been general manager of
the Costa Rican railway, came here and built

Shall tell you where and when?
On the map Of the world you will find

With sword or nightier pen;
Not with powerful word or thought

But silently, cheerfuliy. bore her part,

But, oh, their battles, they last so long

New Railroads of Central America.

Everywhere | go in Central America |
hear the people talking Of new railroads.
One of the projects OF Panama is to build
line from Panama City TO the town OF David
the largest place III the northern part of that
republic. Costa l2lca will eventually be con
nected with Panama, Nicaragua and Hon
duras, and the concessions for the extension
OF the roads here have already been granted,
Both the old and new lines are practically
owned by Americans and from New York
to Panama the indications are that the lines
will be under American control The presi-
dent OF the Pan-American extension to
Guatemala is d O. Thompson, who was
formerly Our minister to Mexico The rail-
roads OF Costa RIGA are owned BY the Keith
syndicate, and the same is true OF the rail-
roads OF Guatemala All Of the lines have
been planned by Americans and built by
Americans, and there will probably be one
American company operating the whole.
From Ocean to Ocean.
Guatemala has now an intercontnental
line from the Caribbean sea to the Pacific
This is, with the exception OF the Panama

Zacapa is the biggest city between the
Caribbean and the capital. 1t is 100 miles
inland, lying at the foot of the mountains,
and only 600 feet above the sea During the
next 90 miles we went upward over 1000
feet, and here at Guatemala City we are just
about mile high.
Railroad Scenes
The scenes on the Guatemalan railroad
are interesting The passengers consist OF
Indians hal-breeds, or ladinos. and whites,
who are few and far between The cars
are first and second-class, and we had at the
end Of the train a little parlor car, the extra
charge for which was about sos per day. /

passengers were Indians or negroes They
were dressed in cotton, and the Indians had
high straw hats with crowns shaped like
sugar loaf There were many bareheaded
Indian women. Both men and women were
smoking cigars or cigarettes Their baggage
was hung UP on hooks over their heads. An
Indian newsboy n his shirt sleeves passed
through the car. selling candy and beer.
