The money reaulred to complete the Fan-American railway ia not reiauvmy a large amount The mileage between New York and Buenos Ayrea would not be greater than that of the Pennsylva- " rtla, the Northwestern or the Burlington. The amount of line yet to be provided . tm hut 2A0 miles more than that of the Mexican Central -system, and 100 miles less than that or the rennsyivama easi of Pittsburg. It will require the build ing or only about 1,700 miles or roao. nd Its construction would require but ' : $15,000.600. When It !e recalled that this la no more than the capital atock of the Baltimore & Ohio and that there 'are 16 republics back of the project it will be seen that It ia a comparatively small undertaking, considering the . giant Interests behind It Some one haa . questioned whether there is a man to be found .who could weld all the links together info one system.- -It would be'no greater work than ".'that "done ' by Cassatt, , Harrlman and 11 111. Some . writers have argued that the construction of the, Panama canal end of the Trans-Andean railroad have removed "the occasion for the Pan-American railroad. Ita friends take the con . trary view. . They say. that both furnish additional reason for pressing tho proj eft to. completion, and that the building of the Trans-Andean will make all of South America tributary to the Pan American, ; . ;.. , To Interlock rive Continents. But-even' beyond the Pan-American project,, there are links to be built soon er or later which will make ft great tn- tercontinental system, spanning not only .'" two continentp,- tout ilve of them.. . The - srreat Cape-to-Cape rail war which is to pass through the very heart of darkest ' Africa,; ia ao longer to be the " unful filled dream of a departed Napoleon or finance. .

Then there la Asia. Already one may cross that vaat continent and reach the very western coast of Europe by rail. As the years come and go new lines are being projected, ana long oeiore- m young man or toaay Decomes oia ana gray he will be able to take his choice of going from eaatern Asia to western Europe, or from eastern Asia to south ern Africa. Some day it is going to be possible to go by ran rrom viaaivos- tok to Cairo, as it now is to go from Mukden to St Petersburg or Paris. The route will He through Jerusalem and the Holy Land, ana will cover nearly an the territory famed In sacred story. , And then there Is but a small remain ing gap to be filled, the one which would connect the railroads of Alaska with those of east Asia. It may sound like a dream, but as the years come and go steel rails are reaching out rur ther north. This ia the most uncer tain piece of construction of all, but not so uncertain as was the building of the line across the Rocky mountains 60 years ago. The building or this link would .be the crowning achievement of. the ages.

Y. Judd of this company. Mr. Judd. owner of these mills, had arranged f riern?ve.tne P11"1 to Gordon Falls, and unless speedily bought by ahe Pendleton people the concern will soon be dismantled. But ir tne business men of that city are sufficiently alert to their own Interests to put up the cash, it is quite likely that they can se cure the mill equipment and retain that very important part of their business life and adjunct to their prosperity. If this be done. r.V "VI a can lease the building to the purchasers, and thus have another handsome income for investment at Gordon Falls, and with the money received from the sale buy an entirely new plant for installation at the latter place. But It will be necessary for our Pendleton neighbors to act at once. Even a short delay will be fatal to their ambitions. The leal must be speedily consummated -Lwt.V,an. dlsPatch force of men to the inland city to remove the entire plant to our Columbia river town. We shall greatly re gret this step, because Pendleton ought to continue the operation, of so rich an industry, and ita removnl would be a most severe blow to that charming city s future prosperity. Still, the interests of Gordon Falls must not suffer, apd If there be dllatorlncss on the part of our inland neighbors they cerUlnly will lose tbe splendid prixe. Gordon Falls cannot wait long lor a decision. If we must place an order In the east for an entirely new plant, itwlll be necessary to know at the very earliest moment. And If Pendleton la wise it will retain its mills. The plant is number one. Have You Ever Figured This Out? How many readers of The Journal ever have sat down and actually coolly and deliberately figured out for themselves what an investment ln Gordon. Falls 6 per cent 10-year first mortgage gold bonds would mean to their bank account? Let us consider this an instant. The bonds pay 6 per cent interest per annum. Fifty shares of stock now worth f 1 per share go free with each 1100 bond. Therefore, the $100 bond really costs but $50, because $60 worth of stock goes with it free, ' On this showing the bond pays 18 per cent, because we pay Interest on its face value, ii Th! fcaciVa.'. B?1! of New England textile mills, as reported by the American Textile Manufacturer, the leading textile pub- lication of the XJnited States, runs from 10 to 22 per cent. These 60 free shares of stock will participate ln the profits of the woolen and worsted mills we shall erect at Gordon Falls, and. If profits similar to those of the New England mills are added to the 6 per ceni,SS'? by ""r tben pur bond Investments will pay and 10 per cent, at the very lowest which would mean 6 per cent on $100 Invested in the bond and 10 per cent on the 60 shares of. stock. This would be tantamount to 6 per cent Interest on $150, al though only $100 had been invested. On the actual money paid ln, on this showing, Gordon Falls bonds would be paying 11 per cent per annum. v., v. But J'oiS not "I1, As we rePetedly have shown.
