William Walsh Makes Address,

William Walsh, superintendent of
the Kahului Railroad Company, spoke
before the assembly of the Maui High
School on Thursday of last week, on
the ARTERIES of Commerce" He said
that railroads and ships with airplanes
trucks, etc, compose the arteries of
commerce.
Steamships were invented by Robert
Fulton, an American who ran his first
ship in Paris in 1903 and a little later
ran n in America with r. r. Living
ston. Since that time there has been
rapid advancement in steamships un-
til now there is every convenience on
them.
Railroads originated with the tram
ways used in mines in the 10th cen
fury. These ran on wooden rails and
it was in 1857 that the first steel rails
were made. The first real railroad
constructed in the United States was
in 1928 and that was not very long.
In the statistics of 1918, there were
100000 miles of railroad in the United
States and her territories. In olden
times a man could walk as fast OF
faster than a locomotive while now
the locomotives go at the rate of sixty
miles per hour. The Baldwin Locomo-
tive Company, a great concern for the
making of these engines still keeps
as a relic the first locomotive made
by them in 1882.
Since the invention of these two
great means Of transportation, trans
p%ortation from II place to another
is much quicker. Transportation of
~c11nn1ine aud tVnnpr ,r-,- q r,,-v MOOD
factor in the recent gre war.
To prepare for work in either of
these branches of transportation, one
needs a good, general high school
education and later more study is
needed along a technical line.
The railroads offer a better ppor-
tunity than the steamships as in the
steamship branch it is harder to OBJ
tain a higher position. However both
branches offer good salaries.
