AS A RAILROAD MAX.
Now that John F. Stevens, once f'r
ft short period chief engineer on tho
rnnama canal, is vice-president of a
railroad oripiny, he can see no merit
il nc i'ipiiI The point of view fro
which i.no looks at an object hus co.i
l.ienible. li.f'uence over the Judg
ment. ' i in Mr. Stevens took charge
l the l :i;'(';np of tho ciinal, and dur
ing the f:rst months of his operati.n ,
no man cm.'d have bee. more ent'u-
over the project than he. Th in
things legaii to go contrary to nl.
liking, his enthusiasm disappeared
nd he thiMV up the Job.
r'aliV i uln allied himself with
railroad Interests, awl since the canal
will In gome measure affect the traf
fic of certain railroads, Mr. Stevens
prophesies failure of the undertaking.
and says It will not come up to ex
pectatlons either as a commercial or
naval factor. His Is the criticism of
one whose opinions are affected by
rival Interests and personal hostility
growing out of Individual experiences.
This county has placed a deservedly
high estimate, on Mr. Stevens' engi
neering and executive ability. Ho was
favorably prominent In railroad con
struction In tho west, and gratifica
tion was felt when he was given
charge of tho canal work. Hut to Mr.
Stevens, the vice-president of the
New York, New Haven & Hartford
railroad, tho perspective has changed, I
and the canal enterprise Is no longer
a good thing for the nation.
Railroad men, as a rule, have not
been warm endorsers of the canal
scheme. James J. Hill, though In
hasn't snld much about It lately, Is on
record as opposed to It. Hut the ben
efits that will result from the con
struction of tho canal are widely con
ceded ami the people of the I'nlted
States ore satisfied that the work Is
proceeding. Spokane Chronicle.
