WILL HAIFA BE PALESTINE'S
GREAT ports

The great need of Paiestine is Il
good port, says the London Morning
Post. Its long coastline contains onl!
three harbors. and those bad ONES
Jaffa. Acre and Haifa. The last NAM
ed. which was unknown i'll ancient
times. is destined to be the great port
Lot only of Palestine, but of Southern
Syria. and of the great wheat-bea ring
lands on the other side of the Jordan.
The broad gauge line from Kantaril
to Hnifa was. finished in January last.
Haifa is connected with Damascus by
Turkish gauge line. which joins the
Mesa railway at Dernn.
But the great railway that is to con
rect Egypt and Africa with all parts
Of Europe and Asia will not run by
Damascus, but from Haifa, in a
northwesterly direction to the south
of Mt. Herman. The Haifa- Damascus
line will. however, continue to be OIL
great importance. and is OF much
greater utility for tapping the district
than the rack-aud-opinion railway from
Beirut to Damascus, which Is OF hard-
ly any use for the goods traffic. inc
Damascus line, it is to be noted, brings
10 Haifa the wheat of the Hauran'
which is destined to be Of one OF the
most productive wheat fields in the
world in the course of time.

with an increased population, will soon
rival the GAIA district. Again, while
Jaffa can only be the outlet for the
south, Haifa, altho in the north of
Palestine. will really be In the center
OF the country, as il will tap great
district extending to the north of
Beirut. Even before the war great
quantities OF goods from Medina and
damascus found their natural outlet
at Haifa. but Jaffa has no fertile
hinterland with undeveloped pOssibili
ties Even Jerusalem before the war
used to receive large portion of its
goods from Haifa.
Acre is the only other port on the
coast of Palestine, and its bay is the
only indentation along the entire lit
toral. Hither came the navIgators of
the Middle Ages, for, bad as the har-
Dor was, any recess in that inhospit-
able coast was welcome. When, in
later times, rice became the staple
food of the country. the importance of
Acre. the only avenue by which II
could regularly enter. increased. The
Lord of Acre may. if it so please him.
cause II famine to be felt even over
all SYRIA The possession of Acre,
therefore, was essential to every war
rior who desired to gain the country,
and it has had more sieges and been
more closely connected with Europe in
consequence than any other city in the
country. But for modern needs this
old city, the most picturesque in Pal
estine, is useless. Its connections with
this hinterland are bad, and the arch
aic structure of the town offers serious
Inconvenience to its growth as IA big
port, while its best merchants have
cmigrated to Haifa in recent years
since that town became the port lot
the Hedjaz Railway. 1t will thus he
seen that neither Jaffa nor Acre can
claim serious attention as the future
great port of the country.
As vet there is little to be said fnr
the town of Haifa itself in relation
to its port. No industries of any i'm
rortance yet exist there, as at Jaffa.
There is no large wine or fruit export
Soap making is the sole industry. anu
there are two factories. one jewish.
the other German-American. The pro
duct of the former is sold locally
that of the latter is sent to America.
The olive used in the industry comes
from the neighborhoOd. while the
caustic soda was imported from Ger
many. Modern Haifa is II congest.d
area. sodden with filth and incapable
of lateral expansion. But IA glance AZ
the situation will show that with Il
town-planning scheme on Carmel the
new Haifa would have u superb resi-
dental quarter. accessible by one or
more funicular railways. Haifn had
already begun to compete with Jaff;i
before the war by the erection of an
| important Jewish technical high school.
while large grounds have been bought
| for surfing new Jewish colony.

of the Constitution, conceived the idea
of gathering the complete returns in
a single night 1t was without parallel
in the history of American journalism

dertaken in any land. Emory Speer
and Dr. FELTON, were both Southern

the Republicans many times, which
did not set well upon Democratic
Georgia politics in general, just emerg-
ing from the shadow of the reconstruc-
ton period. The situation became
more or less desperate. The campaign
in these two districts was waged with
all the fervor of the days of Henry
Clay, and as it proceeded the interest

make the fortune of the paper than
undermine it.
Now, in order to do this big thing,
it became necessary to not only plan
the thing with Il great deal of skill,
but desperate certainty as we'll If it
rained hard, the Jig was all up. There
were required in the scheme more
than 900 couriers, all paid men, 400
horses, and three locomotive engines
beside the construction of four special
telegraph and three telephone lines
The plan was to have the couriers
gather the returns as fast as counted
and hurry away horseback for the
most part to the nearest designated
station, where for certain territory the
returns were concentrated by lOcomo-
tive, and then relayed by wire to AT
lanta. Some of the couriers had to
ride from ten to forty miles along the
bleak trackless mountains OF north
and northeast Georgia, and in many
places the roads were not only dis
mally black with night. but desperately
difficult to travel even by day. The
mind of today can scarcely pick up a

again the details of that wonderful
piece of newspaper enterprise. In this

interesting things done by the press
of the country at various times. The
SpaniSh-American War brought out a
number of remarkable featS in news
gathering, but somehow. with events

what one or Two newspapers did was

war there were so many big things

that were done. albeit many of them
were quite remarkable.
