ANDINE R. R.
(By Associated Press.)

Valparaiso, Chile, Nov. 2s.--The de-
partment of public works has again
seriously taken under consideration
the proposition of constructing the
Chilean end OF new Trans-Andine
railway. The line, which official re-
ports say will be built at the earliest
possible moment, will connect the Ar
gentine port of Bahia Blanca with
Lebu and will cross the Andes in the
foreign regions of Lonquimay. The
Argentine end of the new trans-con-
tinental has been completed to within
thirty kilometers Of the Chilean from
tier where work was halted to await
a like development on the western
slope of the Andes.
That Chile has not as yet built her
section is due to difference of opin-
ion among government engineers as to
the most available route. Two counter
projects have been urged in the cham
ber Of deputies. These call for lines
across the mountains of central and
northern Chile, but the exhaustive re-
port OF Senior Domingo Duran, gov
ernment expert, which has just been
submitted, seems to have settled the
matter In favor of the southern pass

INDIA NEVER
SO PROSPEROUS
(By Associated Press.)


simla, India, Dec. 26.-Travelers in
India today constantly near business
men make the statement that never
has India been so prosperous. Sir VIII
liam Meyer, minister Of finance. says:
Economically India is more prospect
Gus than she ever was before. Accord
Ing to western ideas she is still a very
poor country, but she IL advancing, as
/ can testify after a service OF thirty
i've years here. There has been great
development in Indias agricultural and
Industrial enterprises, and the govern
ment has just recently taken another
step in the appointment of a strong
commission to consider the possibili-
ties of further Industrial development
"since 1900 the progress has been re-
markable. Between 1900 and 1919 the
number of cotton mills increased from
1T to 210 and the persons employed
from 145,0oo to 2l5.0O0. The produc-
tion of yarn rose from S43,OOO,OOO to
5s3, 900, 900 pounds. and Of woven goods
from 95,00O,o00 TO 215,000,000 pounds
Jute mills increased in number from
thirty-six to sixty and the persons en-
ployed from 10000 to 100000. Further.
the percentage of manufactured goods
imported into India as compared with
the total imports has been steadily fall
ing, while the per cent of manufactured
simultaneously rising. Agriculture, of
course, Is the main industry OF the
country, and during the ten years under
question the net area estimated TO be
un0er crops rose LEOH 4oVIVVV'VVV ~
223, ,00o, 900 acres.
1--WE have suffered, naturally. in vari-
Gus directions from the war and at one
time we were threatened with crises
affecting the cultivators in respect of
the tute and cotton Industries. These
have, however. been successfully sur
4 mounted and at present these INDUS
! tries are in a prosperous condition. ana
the cotton ryot in particular is getting
very good prices for this produce"
AS to how the additional wealth
which has accrued to India was distrib-
uted, Sir william said:
"A good deal of money is boarded,
| since the traditions which grew up dur
| ing many generations of insecure gov
| ernment are not easily shaken. but de
| posits in banks have increased consid-
erably. There has been very consid-
! erable increase in the standard Of com
| fort of the people. and the rise in pric-
| es, which has occurred in India as wei!
as in western countries, has materially
| benefited her agricultural and indus
| trial population, though Ii has pressed
| hardly on members of the professional
middle classes. There are also GER
| tain number of capitalists--mill own
| ers, jute manufacturers and the like
! who make in some years very large
profits. The fact remains, however, that
! taking India as a whole, she Is still
very poor as compared with western
