This road will never be a general passen- ger line across South America. The dis tance is too great. It will. however, be the short cut from the Pacific ocean to the upper part of the Argentine republic, and will be Bolivia's outlet to the At lantie.
 Chilli has plans and surveys already made for several very important trans continental railways south of the pres ent line from Valparaiso to Buenos Aires Some of them will have their termini at Bahai Blanca, the Argentine port on the Atlantic ocean, days ride south of Buenos Aires. and one will connect Talcahuano. the great commer- eial and naval station near Conception with that port This road will cross Chilli from Conception to Antuco, and thence go on into the Argentine, where it will connect with the roads which have their termini in Bahia Blanca.
 This transandine road will be about 200 miles shorter than the road now in operation between Valparaiso and Puenos Aires, via Juncal. It will be easier of construction and will cross the. Andes through tunnel, which will be less than mile in length. The gov ernment has already granted subsidy of S1,000,O 900 to be paid at the rate of 5000 per lilometer, as it Is opened to traffic, until $600,0 900 have been paid, the remaining $400 GOO to be held until the line has been joined up to the Ar genuine system. Some of this lines is al- ready. in operation, and 1t is steadily proceeding. The Argentine section is being arranged for. Another Toad to Bahai Blanca, which has already been decided upon will have a length of $50 miles. This will go via Donquimai.
 Between these southern transcon- tinental roads and the transandinc road now in use. several roads to Buc- nos Aires arc being considered and sur veyed One of these from Valparaiso via Maipo. is about 1000 miles long. Another from the port of San Antonio to Buenos Aires is 90 miles and third from the port of Llico, still further south to Buenos Aires. is 10S3 miles long. In addition to these there arc three others planned to go through the Colorado route. which would connect them with the port of Constitution These roads are each about 1000 miles long.
 One reason for the anxiety that Chill has for more transcontinenta routes Is the fear that the Panama cana will reduce the shipping via the Strait ,s.s,.-As,ss- As AIaspx.s.es -zhips thal now come through the straits will pass through the canal and down the west coast of Chilli. and the country will not have as good facilities by the straits as 1t has now. The new roads will hring the country into close connection with the Argentine, and the future

Every man who gets more than about s1o00 year receives his appointment directly from the President and the others are selected by the gen. eral manager with the advice uf his sub ordinates. This makes every railroad of fee a government job. and all appoint ments, from the administrator to the brakeman and track layer, are more or less affected by pull. I have talked with many people here concerning the service. So far I have yet to meet an unprejudiced observer who believes thu. governmept ownership Is good for the roads or the people. Indeed. the railway question Is one of the live ones of pub He discussion and the figures show that the most of the lines are annually worked at a loss Of several millions of dollars.
 The difference between the receipts and the expenditures does not show the whole deficit arising from government management. There is an enormous addi- tional loss In the wear and tear on the roads and the rolling stock, owing to carelessness and waste. This is great that Chile has recently passed an act appropriating more than s200c0.oO0 to re- equip and reorganiZe the system. A large amount of this will go into new cars and will result in large orders from the United States. As 1t Is now, most of the cars have come from our country ald as origi- nally shipped they were the best of their kind. They now show the effects of the long lack of repairs. These in which I have travelled need paint and varnish. The windows rattle and everything seems riclSety. shabby and going to-seed I have been in Pullman cars where the fine veneering of the ceiling ha so cracked and blistered that It hung down like wall paper of damp building. and in some coaches the rain dripped through. The freight cars are in a bad way and no one watches the leaks. Others of the cars are more comfortable, the dining and sleeping car service being fairly good With the new appropriation there should be no lack of money and conditions will probably improve.

The freight rates are high, and more than half of the earnings come from freight. The ex- tra charges for baggage are much greater than in the United States and on the central system per cent of the total earnings are made out of luggage.

Harlow Brokerage Co.
Starts FaI Sale

The Harlow Brokerage Company has
put on another one of their remark
able Fall and Winter sales, which in
the past have charactiZed this store
and won for it a reputation for giving
bargain counter sales not found any
where else in town. Heretofore, this
store has bought enormous stocks
from bankrupt concerns which handled
foreign made goods and have thus been
able to put the very highest quality of
material in reach of the working man
and woman who could not afford to
pay the high prices for the same goods
rat other places. However, the war in
Europe has checked the importation
of foreign made goods. but Mr.. Har-
low Is an astute farseeing business
man and he has not overlooked any
opportunity to supply the demands Of
his trade. His latest efforts to please
his patrons was the purchase of $751;
900 worth of American made goods at
price which will allow him to give
to his customers the same all round
bargains they have been accusomed
to getting in the past. Mr.. Harldw
has enlarged his store twice during
this last year and now he has fitted
up in exquisit style all Of the ground
floor of the same store room and is
ready for the grand rush which is sure
to come during this and future sales.
Miss Reed, Mistress of the Millinery
department anticipates the greatest
hat sale for the fall and winter trade
ever before heard of in Tulsa and she,
with her force of experienced assist
ants, is ready for the business. Don't

men are doing with great success both
major and minor operations without
administering choloform or ether.
This Aueosthetic is proving to be a
worlds wounder, and If 1t does 1t
will be one Of the greatest discoveries
of modern surgery. DR.. Morrison has
been working upon this anesthstic
for FIVE major operations, but one was
a very old man and the other had a
very bad heart. DR.. Smith declared

would die. DR.. Morrison suggested

The Color Line In War.

Ia an article printed In the Inde-
pendent, Count Won Bernstorff, the
German Ambassador, expresses him

the use of Asiatic and African troops

When Germany went to war with
the British Empire she must have ex-

and not merely a selected part of the
population the color of whose skin

1t is natural enough that Great

Wit & Wisdom

On looking over the Negroes OF
this town and after sizing them up
man for man. | arrive at the con-
clusion that there are surprisingly
large number whose hearts are so
saluted with envy and all its kind
red evils that speaking well of an in
dividual is lost art with them.
Don't abuse the poor things they
can't help speaking evil as long as
they carry an evil heart. You must
not expect good to come out OF
evil.
Some women who have husbands
that are drunkards make great
mistake in telling their husband not
to come home drunk They should
tell him to be sure to come home
as soon as he gets drunk. Then they
would have the pleasure OF going
through his pockets instead OF some
out side woman. It's natural that
men who get drunk will get robbed
aud it's better that the wife do it
than any other women.
