more additionsto the toll of lives. The
property loss runs up into millions of

 Throughout the summer, when work be press cd most rapidly, the commission experienced the ef fleets of this shortage Between $500 and 4,00O men could have been employed and will be needed next spring, but only 2,5O0 engaged.
 Next year difficulty will be experienced by the builders of the great northern transportation tenn in obtaining all the workers they desire Crews undoubtedly will be made up long prior to the open- ing of the construction season and work will com mence with full forces the ground.
 To date 312 miles of lines the southern dvi. sion and 140 miles the northern division have finished and now in operation. There is an 84- mile between the ends of steel in the Broad district and 50 miles of the rght-of-way remains to be graded.

seems only fitting that, upon the occasion of this celebration, the people of the United States should make substantial and suitable acknowledgment of their appreciation of the bonds existing between the two countries by offering to the Brazilian Nation a token of friendship which, in commemoration of notable past of amity and esteem, beckons onward to an ever more alluring future of increasing prosperity, untrammeled freedom and material grandeur
 gift, which we may hope will have scope sufficient to symbolize the progress made in the past, and imagination sufficient to presage the development to be expected from the Century beginning, and for which, we may indulge the fond hope that it will enshrine our country in the hearts of Brazil ians in some such manner as the Statute of Liberty has brought France nearer to own as, by the daily sight of it all BraZilians shall be reminded of Americas great regard.
 The nations of the earth are planning gifts on this occasion: Portugal, which per- haps shares with the United States the warmest friendship of Brazil, is gathering fund for this purpose, which already has passed the sum of half million dollars. <
 For the reasons above expressed it seems that the. obligation of the United States to give as greatly any other nation, and to fttingly commemorate this occasion is clear to anyone who has studied the trend of events and knows the necessity of preserv- ing our pre-eminient position, along with the spirit of our National Idealism.
