South America by Rail.
Among the great projects tbat are bc-
ing considered at this time with a view
to the expansion of commerce, especially
between the United States and the coun
tries south of us, none is more important
than that of constructing a great rail
way to finite the northern and the
southern continents. This is a subject
which has been talked of for many years
and which has the endorsement of some
of the most practical and the wealthiest
of our great capitalists. Men who re
present millions are in an organization
whose object is to promote the con
struction of an inter-continental rail,
road, connecting the northern and south,
ern continents oí this hemisphere by a
Kami of steel that would contribute
more than anything else to preserve
peace between them and promote trade
that would be of mutual advantage.
The idea of a panamerican railway
originated years ago and repeatedly
talked of since by men of the highest
standing in the financikl and railway
world, seems to be in a fair v\ ay to be
come a material proposition. The spe
cial commissioner appointed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt to investigate conditions
in the South American countries with
reference to the construction of the pro
posed railway has made his report and
its facts and recommendations are such
Ji
as to justify the conclusion that the
proposed enterprise cannot only be suc
cessfully carried out, but would prove
profitable as an investment. That is all
that American capital will need to know
in order to embark in the enterprise and
carry it to success.

For the state.....................
2.28c.
Average for first and second classes 2.22c.
The average of the first and second
classes is about the average make of
the creameries of the state, viz., 104,518
pounds of butter. The fact that the
average cost in these average creameries
is about the same as the average cost
for the state tends to strengthen the
idea that the above figures are correct,
especially in view of the fact that more
than half of the creameries in the state
are included in these two classes.
The statistics from gathered-crenm
creameries are very low in number in re
gard to cost of making butter, and vary
from 0.8 of a cent |>er pound to 1.7
cents per pound, the average being 1 15
cents. It is evident, of course, that there
will be less investment in a creamery
without separators and less expense to
run it.—Jersey Bulletin.
