YANKEE PENETRATION OF SOUTH
 AMERICA

The greater states of South America
 are rapidly advancing in their railroad
 facilities. The latest figures from Bra
 gil tell of 13,611 miles in operation and
 16S3 under construction. of which the
 federal government owns $500 miles,
 the states controlling the others. And
 now the Brazil Railway company has the right to build and operate 570O more miles to connect Rio with the va riOus states.
 Argentina has 25.140 miles in opera
 tion. of which 2220 miles belong to the
 state. The remainder is owned by companies with capital of $S50,000, 900, of which $750000 900 is British
 Until a recent period the enterprise
 of the British has largely been at work in railroad enterprises in South Amer ica, but now we find the Yankee as serting himself in this business of con- struction and operation for the future as in the case of the Brazil Railway company, the Bolivia Central and the Argentina railway Also. to the Yan- kee has gone the right to navigate the Amazon, by the Amazon Land and Col onizatiOn company with territorial con- sessions, and the society of the Port of Para, at the mouth of the Amazon. The Argentina and Bolivia Central are also American, with q capitalization of S5O.- 1 GOO, GOO.
 According to translation in the Literary Digest writer for the Espana Moderna of Madrid. Spain. has become almost hysterical over what he calls this new Yankee penetration of South America" He thinks all the railroads of those states should be owned and controlled by the various governments. and: If the great net work of inter- communication between the South American states be relinquished to the Yankees they will be found eventually to control the economic life of the na- tions and turn the countries thus con- trolled into mere colonies of the North American monopolists''
 This writer, Professor (of course) Vincent Gray, handles his topic as though Spain, the original mother country, were still interested in these states of South America. He seems to
 have found fair reason and excuse for the monopoly of this enterprise in earlier years by British capital but most positively resents the present sit uation, with the Yankee taking a strong hold And this, although one of the liiitol dtOIIilIleUtS or Y aIDaralSO, Chile. 1 is splendid statue of that great early l Yankee" captain of industry in Latin America, William Wheelwright, erected 1 in 1876 by popular subscription of grateful people of Chile and the Ar genuine He was a native of New l buryport Mass.

that there was at least some truth in

weed seed in agricultural seeds, even
when reasonably clean, is greater than

but the people had carried out so

sovo, and the legendary exploits Of the
hero Marko Kralyevich and his horse
Sharats, are Of Homeric proportions,
and, sung to the accompaniment Of a
guitar with cords of horsehair tails,
have kept national feeling warm for
centuries. In recent years the Servian

One Street Sure---Severa,
Probabilities..-Much Sewer
Work

Although but one petition for th'
improvement of streets has as ye
been received by the City Commis
siohers it is highly probable tina
as the season advances several NOR,
will be submitted. Those that ar,
most likely to fall in line are Walnu
street from Lincoln to Steuben
four blocks on North Washington
possibly the same number on NORTH
Lafayette, probably about three
blocks on South Wilson.
Should these streets be improved
il is likely that either brick or con-
crete will be used for the paving
material. A resolution for the
paving of West Third street was
passed few days ago, paving not
to exceed thirty feet in width. The
property owners who are paying for
the street seem to be nearly all of
the opinion that the street should
be thirty.six feet in width on ac.
count of the subway which they
hope to have through there within
few years. The probabilities are
that the resolution will be changed
as to the width. Alternate bids will
be received for improving the street,
with concrete or brick.
West Third street will be paved
from South Forest to South Kansas
avenue, four blocks, one of which
is slightly more than six hundred
feet long.
Four sewers are under way in the
Second Ward to connect with main
sewer number three, and it is likely
that several more will be laid within
the year. They are not very long
but extend the sewer district by
good many blocks.
During the year 1912 a consider
able amount of paving and macada.
mlzing was done. The following
streets were each finished in the
year 1919 although one or two were
commenced In 1911.
Four blocks on South Forest we're
paved with brick, one on West Elm
paved with brick, four blocks on
South Highland paved with brick,
three blocks on South Grant paved
with brick and one block on West
Chestnut paved with brick.
The following streets we're mac
adamized: West First, two blocks;
South Ashby, three blocks; South
Lafayette and West Second, eight
blocks.
Street work is not scheduled to
commence before April Ist.
