HAS AN ODD RAILROAD
Model Short IJne . Financed, Built,
Owned, Operated by Chinamen. ,
From the Los Angeles Examiner.
-The most curious railroad In the world
is In China, and It was built and financed
solely by Chinese. It la also operated '
by Chinamen, It is known as the Sun
ning railway, and Its terminus" is at
Kung Yik port. 120 miles southwest of
Canton. At present there are 82 miles In
operation, and there are four miles under
construction and four miles more pro
posed making a total of 40 miles when '
(he whole enterprise is finished. -
The idea of building this railroad orlgr
Inated with Chin Gee Hee, who was, then
in tne uniiea ciaies. ana some bud
scrlptlons for stock were secured from
ether Chinese residents of the United
State. The majority of the stock, how
ever, 1 now owned by residents of - tba
province of Kwantung, When the road
was surveyed the vlllagere were ver v
much opposed to It and refused to sell
land to tne company to be used for rail
road purposes, but after meeting all
these - obstruction for a' considerable
time with great patience, the projectors
finally obtained their consent to an co
operation In its construction. ' '
Tbe line Is being constructed entirely
by non-sclentiflo Chinese. No person .
of any nationality other than Chinese
has ever been connected in any way with
the building of this road. It is being
built under the dlrectloi of Mr. Chin,
? resident of the railwav, who returned
o China from the United States after
40 years' experience there, some of
which was as a railroad foreman and
contractor. He has no engineering or
railroad knowledge other than the ex
perience gained while ln the United
8tates. He ha the help of about 100
Chinese foremen and laborers who came
baok from the United States, all with
more or., leas experience in railroad con-
trucuon. ,
The construction work eommenced In
the middle nf 190s and. nart of tha line
was opened to traffic at the beginning of
1908. The whole road Is provided with
telephone lines for dispatching. Trains
run thre trips a day from each end,
taking about two hour for the trio. The
average dally receipts are Jrom 1226 to ,
$260 on paaengeir traffic and front 140
to 850 on freight, with a dairy expense

More Money for Teachers. ' "'!'
From the Detroit NeVrs-Tribun.
The struggling schoolmaster, drying
to live en starvation wages, is a thing
of the past ln the Dominion of Canada,
say men prominent In educational af
fairs. Good Instructors capable of giv
ing proper care to the training of pti.
pile, are now at a premium and tin
cities that would secure men of this
stamp must pay well for them.
The matter was forcibly brought
home to the local echcolboard,' within
the past two weeks, during the attempt
to secure instructors for the Collegiate
Institute and public schools.- It was
found that when teachers . were adver
tised for and the salary -stated thst
no turbulent collection of applications
poured Into the local office.
- "After we had advertised 'for a ' f nil
week in 'the two leading papers of To
ronto, stating that- w were in neel ;if
two male teacher" for our high, school,
only four applications were, recpivwl,-
says Secretary maca oi tne winasor
board ot education. "The annual - sal
ary of $1300 was stated,, but it did not
seem to bring results. .
"However:" the Windsor board of edu
cation is not so badly off as those of a
few cities further east whose -Is test
advertisements asking or male teach
ers have not been rewarded by a single
offer, with the result that they were
obliged to boost their salary fates. It
Is no uncommon thing for men instruc
tors throughout the province to be
drawing salaries of $1600 and $1800."
