From Cairo one line follows the west
Hamadi, where 1t crosses to the east

in upper Egypt serving the irrigable
and fertile core of the great sand

I'm the beginning of the English ad-
ministration. the Egyptian State rail-
was out of repair. its equipment Sc
riously deteriorated, and it's locomo-
tives and rolling stock were mostly
out-of-date. Its income was not suffi-
cient to keep it in the ways of prog
ress. British army engineers were put
in charge, and just before the present
war the railroad had become one Of
the governments principal sources Of
revenue.
There were, at the wars outbreak.
LOO miles of trackage open to traffic
in the state railway system. Port Said
was connected with Cairo a distance
of 145 miles, on an express schedule Of
four and e-half hours. From~Alex.

the winter tourist was rushed through
to Cairo in just three hours. The
Egyptian system was linked up with
the Sudan government railway to
khartum and beyond by steamer
service between Assouan and Wadi
Halfa.
Thus the long British frontier from
the blue Mediterranean to the darkest
wilds of interior Africa, was bound TO-
gether with steel bands before the
worlds peace ended, and now these
lines of rail form one of the highly inn

Cross Into Serbia.
In our motor truck we circled Lake
Dorian, and a mile from the station
came to a stone obelisk. When we
passed it our guide on horseback shout
ed to us that we had crossed the boun-
Diary from Greece, and were now in
Serbia. The lake is five miles wide and
landlocked, and the road kept close to
the waters edge. 1t led us through
little mud villages with houses of mud
and waffle and some of stone with tiled
roofs and rafters and beams showing
through the cement. The second story
projected like those of the Spanish
blockhouses in Cuba and the log forts

were no hyphenated Americans, our
forefathers fought the Indians.

they were occupied by English army

reached it, to consist entirely of artil-

BARES UTILITY
SCHEME TO GET
S. DEPOSITS

Privately owned utility inter
ests are trying TO saddle a IS
deposit charge on all light and
power customers. by having the
state public service commission
make new ruling. Assistant
Corporation Counsel Walter =.
Meier said Thursday.
The city will fight the plan.
IL would take s. cash, in deposit.
from everyone who is connected up
for light and power in the state.
Meier returned Thursday after at
tending the conference between
utility representatives and the pub
lie service commissioners for one
day.
He contended that ownership of
premises or the signature OF guar
antor was sufficient to establish
the credit of customers. A deposit.
he said. might be demanded in de-
fault OF either of these.
The conference was in session
two days before Seattle was repre-
sented. Corporation Counsel Cald-
well said his office was not notified.
Meier will go carefully over the pro-
cedure of those two days. He OBJ
tanned the right to contest, In writ
ing. any action deemed unfair to
the people Of Seattle.
The commission is maneuvering
to get the municipality owned utili-
ties under its control. all right"
said Meier That's what the cor
poration-owned utility people want
badly. The commission only has
the right to govern our electrical
construction rules. They plan to
combine them with the general
rules. In this way something will
be slipepd over on good many
little towns that own utilities.
They will blindly follow all COM
mission rules"
The deposit features is regarded
as a profitable play on the part OF
utility corporations. Thousands of
dollars in deposits are accrued an
nually by gas and electric compa-
nies because the deposits are taxed
on minor technicalities, or absorbed
because the depositors forget
about the deposits.
Rules on electrical construction
will be considered at continuation
OF the hearing. In Seattle, at the
Chamber OF Commerce December 8.
