No Intel ligent scheme of world Duuaing, readjustment of countries or of boun daries, no racial conquest could mini mize the importance of the spots whereon Guayaquil and New York land Thpn anots are International commercial nodes, such because the conformation of the oceans and tno continents being what It is, at these points the lines of travel meet and cross. But more than this 5t Is here that the lands and the seas Join on terms of the greatest mutual advan tage in all that goes to pay triDuie to man's commercial activities, says the , Bulletin of the Pan-American Union. Guavaaull has all the natural ad vantaees. It Is at the meeting of the sea routes. Only San Francisco and Panama alone the whole Pacific coast of North and South America can rival It in this respect But the three oc cupy separate spheres and so are not lirala in anv sense. Guayaquil is on the onlv navleable river from middle California to Caoe Horn, and this riv er, or rather fluvial system, lunusnee hlehwavs to all Darts of a large and compact area of the moat fertile and productive agricultural landa In west Am Rnnth America, an area of ap proximately 14.000 squar-e miles: Down and Into this zone lead tne nest traua from the high lands of Ecuador, Peru, and Colombia. Gulf of Guavaaull The Gulf of Guavaaull Is the largest ouenine along: the whole west coast of South America. It is shaped nearly like an equilateral triangle with one tin bent The straight side, running nearly north and south, extends about 140 miles from Cape Blanco in rem haps more properly speaking a small archipelago named the Estero Salado, the Salt Estuary. It is about twice as extensive as the Guayaa delta dot drains a smaller territory, not count ing the rivers above Guayaquil. These are the main waterways, but in aaur Uon scores of lesser rivers and creeka now directly into the Gulf of Guaya quil. Many of these lesser rivers come down from the high mountains iyw immediately to the east for it must be remembered that the Gulf of Guaya quil at the point where the tip Begins to turn up reaches Inland almost to the high Andes. What we have called the greater harbor of Guayaquil, lying hewno. Puna Island, is entered by tne jam bell channel to the southeast, which at its narrowest point la about six miles wide, or the Monro channel on the northwest, a little over a mile wide. The, former ,1s the customary nimini aa tha Morro channel is dlf- VUWBUW, an , . flcult and dangerous for large vessels. on account of the numerous amau Isleta and banks.

With all its advantages so clearly, marking It out aa a great world mart one naturally asks. Why has not Guay aquil advanced farther than it has on the manifest road of destiny? The rea sons are many, and each has played Its part to keeping Guayaquil In the background. There is, however, one reason, which without doubt more than any other baa had this effect, and that la the reputation for Insanitary conditions which Guayaquil has borne for over a century Port sanitation is a port's chastity. Without It Its sister porta of all the Railroad men declared that they never before had heard of an engine beint turned around in a wreck, a! thouirh they had seen many plunge in to the ditch at right angles to tne track.
