Ths Tehoanfepeo railroad across Mexico
la completed, and haa mora business than
It can handle," aaid D. E. Thompson, am
bassador to Mexico, who was In Oma'iB
Wednesday to attend tha annual meeting
of tha stockholder of tha Columbia Fir
Insurance company, of which ha la presi
dent. ,
"This will not Interfere at all with the
business of the new Panama canal when
It Is completed, but both will haye all they
ran do, and another canal will be needed
In a few (fenerations.
"1 attended the opening of that road and
also went with President Roosevelt to
Panama on his recent visit The Tehuante
peo railroad la 225 miles long; and haa cost
rc.OOO.OOa It was built by an English con
tractor, and with wharves at each end
was to cost lltft.ono.ono. Of this $88,000,000
haa been expended and the remainder will
be used In building wharves. The business
from" the start Is so enormous that double
tracking win be necessary aa soon as possi
ble, and this will make tha entire cost
$150,000,009.
"When tha road was completed there
were already two boats, one at each end
of tho road, ready to have their cargoes
transported across. Before these were
cared for two more boats appeared un
announced and had to be cared for. A
boat of 10,009 tons will fill 309 cars, and the
road cannot now accommodate the business
which la dumped at Its two terminals,
Rmmm for Its Mneeess.
. "There are three reasons why this road
Is going to. be a great success. Tha rail
roads In the United States cannot now
handle the trafflo which la billed across the
continent. The freight charge Is less by
water and the Mexican railroad, than across
the United States, and they will handle
time freight In mucTi less time than It can
t tiAtilefl onmna this continent. Tbev
agree to take freight from New fork to
Ban Francisco In sixteen days, or guaran
tee thirty days, while the average time by
way of rail Is forty days.
"When Pearson, the English contractor,
took hold of this road It was simply two
streaks of rust and not a tie was In proper
shape, although each tie represented the
life of a man. The health conditions are
now aa good as are those or Oman a ana
the operation of the rood does not mean
the. loss of human life.
"On the Pacific side Is a continuous wind
and dust storm most of the year, with little
rain, and this condition prevails to the
divide, about seventy-five miles from tha
. Pacific ocean. The divide Is 763 feet high."
Mr. Thompson said he waa enjoying the
best of health and his looks bore out his
statement.
Officers of Company,
At the annual meeting of tha stockholders
of the Columbia Fire Insurance company
these officers and directors were elected
for the coming year: D. E. Thompson,
president; C. E. Tost, first vice president;
J. B. Dlnsmore. second vice president; C,
D. Mullen, secretary and treasurer; C. O.
Talmage, assistant secretary; directors, IX

Baretx. Columbus; John T. Bressler,
Wayne; J. H. Miles, Falls City; C. D.
, Mullen. Omaha; 3. A. Sunderland, Omaha;
E. O. Bohanan, Lincoln.
The seventh annual statement of the com
pany showed a net surplus of $100,106.96.
The reserve required by law for the pro-
toction of outstanding risks la $437,280.68,
and cash on hand nearly $60,000.

LENT JUST ONE WEEK OFF
Solemn fleasoa Bealns Next Wedaea
day and Easter Cornea Last
Pay la March. ,
One mora week before Lent. By next
week society will have put away lta say
garments to don the sackcloth and ashes
of the nten season. Wednesday, Feb
ruary 13. will be the first day In Lent and
tha day la commonly known aa Ash
Wednesday, so called . on account of the
olden custom of worshipers sprinkling;
; themselves with ashes aa a symbol of peni
tence, and the wearing of garments of
simple fabric and deslg-n.
The Ienten season Is observed the world
over by Roman catholics and Episco
palians particularly, the observance taking
the form of fasting and abstemious living.
Services are held throughout the aeason of
Lent and In Omaha the various Catholic
and Episcopal churches will have the usual
services. . 1
The Lenten season thla year will end on
'Good Friday, March 29, with Raster Sunday
observance two days later, on which latter
flay the faithful rise to God In grace.
For the guidance of Its adherents ' the
Episcopal prayer book notes: "When ye
fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad
'countenance; for they dl'flgure their faces
that they may appear unto men to fast."
The Roman Cathollo churches next
Wednesday will, as usual, observe the cus
tom of sprinkling the ashes of burnt palm
leaves upon the penitent Services will he
held every morning and evening in most
of the Episcopal churches.
Excluding the 8undays between Ash
Wednesday and flood Friday, there are
forty days la which to put off worldly
things and magnify the spirit. These Bun
days are referred to as feast days, while
the forty days are fast days.
