VALPARAISO HAReOR.

The commerce of Chill centres al Val
paraiso After il became certain that the
canal would be built, the Chilian men Of
trade and some Of the men of affairs
hogan to study the question, and decided
that Valparaiso was not outside the
radius OF the canal If it had been, there
would have been additional reasons 10"
providing il with better shipping facil!-
ties. i'm order to hold it's commerce against
the canal competition But the saner
view was taken-the shipping facilities
SHOULD be strengthened both to get the
fullest benefit of the canal and in order
to offset such incidental loss in he
worlds commerce as might occur through
the tendency of shipping always to seek
good harbors
After the earthquake Of 1906 Valparaiso
began to rebuild itself in manner be
fitting its commanding position. The re-
construction is still going on, so that in
some parts modern city has been
created This was another reason why
the port facilities should he modernlzed.

hundred years old. but as harbor 1t

a formidable total. but the figures do not

The first step was taken when Jacob
Kraus. the Dutch engineer, and his as
sistants made very thorough technical
studies and presented complete plans.
Yet for a long while nothing was done

Congress was never quite ready TO vote
the necessary money Tentative tenders
would be called for, but contractors OF
port works would find there was no
money available. and would lose their in

the canal much faster than anybody ex-
pected and its quickening influence on

ONLY LIVING PORPOlSES IN CAPTIVITY

Forty-eight hours after leaving the
treacherous cape the porpoises found
themselves in new surroundings. and the

Perhaps the sharp difference between

PROTECTING PUBLIC DOMAIN.

For example under my administration

adopted by the men DESTROYS Of stealing
the public domain was to carry the de-
cision of the Secretary of the Interior

action. and only by so doing, we were able
10 carry out the policy of properly pro-
tecting the public domain. MY successor
not only took the opposite view, but

Other honorable and well meaning Presi-

people, and can do nothing, no matter
