Blazers of the Way


 Times change; the world is nov ing fast, though how fast we do not
 ealize until something happens and we look back and draw comparisons with few years ago.
 On Saturday last plane dropped down in Stewart with Col. J. M. Rolston, who is in charge of the re- connaissance for the proposed Pacif- ic-Yukon Highway, and W. K. Gwyer, provincial public works en- gineer for northwestern B. c. Start ing at Burns Lake about 1O:3O a. n. they flew north to Babine Lake, thence northwesterly up it, thence west over Hazelton and down the Skeena to Kitwanga, thence north again into and up the Naas, to Mezl- adin Lake, and from there to Stew art. Leaving Stewart early Sunday morning with Col. Rolston, the plane proceeded into and up to the headWaters of the Naas, through a large portion of the Groundhog and down the Klappan river to Dease Lake, landing there just three hours after leaving Stewart. Thus was seen in a few hours hundreds of miles of country and several possible routes for the highway. In June last the same plane arrived in Stewart form the east, carrying c. P. R. en- gineers. Leaving Finlay Forks after breakfast, they too looked over hun dreds of miles of country and sever al possible railway routes from the Peace river to Stewart, in a single day.
 Thus in 1880, in a few hours, work is accomplished that in 1910 or as late even as 1920 would have taken months; months of hard and dangerous work. 4 few score men would have been employed, and many horses. They would have had to crawl along existing trails. doing ten to fifteen miles per day with horses or, with packs on their backs, would have had to scramble through the bush, doing only a few miles each day, and at points by the use of rafts and canoes worked their way around lakes and down rivers which today are hardly on the map, to face unknown rapids and can yons, carrying as they went their lives in their hands.
 Such were the conditions that pre- vailed when the first men came across Canada looking for routes for existing railways. Many of these men after months of the severest hardship and hard labor, lost their lives in some rapid or canyon, died of disease, accident or starvation, and in some cases were frozen to death.
 Times have changed, and with the change the product of mans in genuity is being applied to t h cracking open of this great north country in a manner not dreamed of twenty years ago. What then took weeks and even years to accomplish is now done in few hours or, at the outside, days. The romance of Cana da's exploration will in twenty-five years be an epic in the building of

jungle Over Everything.
"Coba is virgin soil for the explorer.
White men had been there before US,
but they had left no trace. The great
growth of the jungle was over every
thing. The stagnant water of the
lakes, without outlet and fed only by
the accumulations of the rainy season,
lies there just as it did when the Mayas
built their temples about it. The rot
ting matter of the days gone by gave
the town its name, and the rotting
water OF today bears ample testimony
as to the appropriateness of the name.
THE surface of exploration at Coba
has not been scratched. What those
ruins can tell the explorer I cannot at
this time say, but that they do have
tale to tell is evident.
There is no evidence left of the
commercial life of Coba 1t is not be-
lieved to have been a trade center, but
rather a meeting place for religious
emissaries from all over the Western
World of the time of the Maya affiu-
ence and civilization, on their way
along the system of stone roads to the
sacred well at Chichen TIA, the heart
of the Maya religion.
Thousands of people must have lived
at Coba. / do not care to estimate the
number of people who lived in the town
in its greatest days. The thatch houses
of the Indians of today last but few
years. and it is easy to presume that
the dwellings of the residents of Coba
were eaten up by the voracious jungle
in few years after it was evacuated.
Temples Not for People.
1.-THE temples and pyramids of Coba
were not built for human habitation.
They were structures put up purely for
purposes. How they were
built no man knows. We can only sur
mise that tremendo' amount of slave
labor went into the construction of
those gigantic buildings, of which only
the remains now are to be found The
Mayas from what we can learn today,
had no knowledge of the use of the
wheel, nor did they use domestic ami
mails, and without those two aids it is

the immense blocks of stone that went
into the building of the religious editlces
of Coba."

is treating the Indian better.
There is a great field for exploration

Game was plentiful, there being
deer, wild turkeys, doves and any num-

also caught fish in the lakes. The In

The bees there have no sting, and their
honey is easy to get. In fact, we ate
everything the Indians did until we
found them picking out grubworms ana

Their shores still are lined with sharp
coral rocks, and we were careful Whne

ut was one morning soon after we
got to Coba that l discovered Indians

was, from all accounts, reverence Tor

and refinement of sun worship. They
were really above the primitive sun
worship stage.

ION this particular morning 1 went
from my hut early and found before
ono of the big monuments of the ruined
town two burning candles-a curious
mixture of present-day religious ritual

put the candles there.

They still sacrifice birds and some ami

villages of the Indians have secured
old statues from ancient Maya ruins

WEST THINKS EAST
is TOO OPTIMISTIC
Wheat Prices and Prospects Held
Biggest Factors in Business
Outlook.
Special Dispatch to The star.


KANSAS CITY, Mo-, September 20.-
Influenced perhaps too much by the ex-
periences of the Summer and inclined
to be doubtful, the interior believes the
East too optimistic OF improving con-
ditions.
The Aact is that the major influences
of business activity move from East to
West, and any material change in finan-
cial trends starting at seaboard reach
and affect the Middle West about 90
days later. This was true Of the serious
upsettings of the past, and it is the
logical movement because of the time
needed for causes to make themselves
felt at a distance half across the
country.
Wheat continues to be the premier
subject for discussion, with the planting
Of the new crop somewhat delayed at
first by drought and later by wet fields.
However, with delayed Winter approach
the sowing can continue for six weeks
yet. and seems likely so to do. Primary
market price Of 65 cents is discouraging
selling, and the wheat belt probably
has so per cent Of the seasons crop in
the farmers hands, compared with a
normal 35 per cent.
Lack of increase in price Is causing
delayed inclination to purchase COM
moditieS and trade is less active than
ordinarily The corn crop of Missouri
is about 40 per cent of normal, that of
Kansas and Nebraska about so per
cent-though much immature acreage
can be used for roughage and so aid
the stock interests.

Preferred Stocks
BY GEORGE r. HUGHES.


(This is the third of a series Of studies
in preferred stocks by Mr.. Hughes for
the bsns Ct his readers snsgsss
discussed and gives facts about the cor
porations behind the securities. The
process. certain securities Of high grade
being used for the illustration.)
Two Railroad Preferreds.
Representative of the highest type of
railway preferred stocks the senior
share obligations of the Atchison and
OF the Union Pacific may be cited. Both
sell to give return not much higher
than to be had on high-grade bonds.
Atchison preferred is per cent nom
cumulative. and Union Pacific preferred
is 4 per cent non cumulative, and both
are of 500 par value Atchison pre-
ferred sells in the market around 105,
where the yield is Ats per cent. and
Union Pacific preferred sells around SO,
where the yield is ass per cent. Both
stocks have equal voting power with the
common shares of their respective cor
porations. Dividends of both are pro-
tected by wide margin of safety and
both have long unbroken records for
payments.
In the last 10 years net available for
Atchison preferred ranged from 1882
to $49.15 share, the lower amount in
1920 and the higher in 1929. During
the same period earnings available for
Union Pacific preferred have ranged
from $31.44 a share to SAC .48 a share,
the lower in 1921 and the higher in
1929. The Atchison has paid the pre-
ferred dividend without interruption
since 1901, % years, and the Union
Pacific has paid its preferred dividend
regularly since 1900, matter Of 80
years.
On this showing there is little to
choose between the two. Both are suit
able for those who require the highest
degree of safety and are content to sac
rifice return for quality. This. however,
Is only part of the story. The reason
why these two preferred railroad stocks
sell on so low a yield basis is because
the Atchison and the Union Pacific are
consistent earners for their common
stocks and consistent payers of divi-
bends on those common stocks.
The Atchison has paid dividends
ranging from $3.50 to $40 a share on
The common since 1901, and during that
time every change has been upward ex-
cept that in 1908, following the de-
preston of 1907. The rate was cut
from Sc to SIS a share The Union Pa
cific has paid dividends on the COM
mon for 80 years, but the rate of dis
has been more irregular,
ranging from $3.50 to $11.50 a share,
with the higher return in 1917. 1t is
-hese outposts of safety in the way of
common dividends which give investors
so much confidence in the preferred
stock.

Slump in German
Bonds Ascribed to
UnfOunded RumOrs

Special Cable Dispatch to The Star.
BERLIN, Germany, September
20.-In the opinion of the Ger
man government, the information
al slump of German bonds and
shares, especially reparation
bonds, is caused exclusively by
unwarranted rumors.
Whatever is the solution of the
coalition problem, radical de-
parture from the present dnan-
cial and foreign policy is con-
sidered impossible, as it would
bring about complete chaos.
The election results are not &C
curate reflection of the peoples
view on Chancellor Heinrich
Bruening's reform measures, and
even the opposition parties would
not dare to change them essen
TALLY. The consequences Of their
repeal would be disastrous, first,
for the unemployed, as the pay
ment of doles would be stopped
within q few months. Second,
salaries of officials would be en-
dangered. Last, wave of bank
ruptcy would sweep the Eastern
agriculture provinces.
DR.. Alfred Hugenberg's Social
Democrats will likely avoid such
risk, which would chiefly hurt
their own followers.
Though realizing that the Sti-
uation has been aggravated by
the election results, the govern
ment is unaffected by the general
nervousness and steadily con-
tinues its policy of reforms.
