Thus In making the road up the n river Is mountains, the x times and there are crossed twenty-siforty-thre- e steel bridges on this part of the line. Ravines are spanned by steel viaducts, one of them, near the village of Alusai, being 340 feet long and another 373 feet long and 122 feet high. The contracts for bridge work were let In this country and have helped to swell the prosperity of our bridge builders In recent years. The difficulties were increased by tbe sparsity of timber, for there Is none in the interior excepting the planted eucalyptus. All the ties are of California redwood, and all the timber, excepting for temporary purposes, was brought from California and Oregon. The Quito plateau, now brought Into close touch with the Pacific coast, is a region of great natural resources and has a climate that can be compared to nothing but perpetual spring. It haa hitherto been largely cut off from commercial Intercourse with the western part of the republic because most commodities could not be carried on tbe mule paths.

Bennett, has supplied to the latest Bulletin of the American Geographical society a profile of the completed road as It rises gradually from the coastal plain and steeply by the Andes slope, to fall a little as it reaches the summit pass and drops to the plateau. As an engineering feat the construction of the road to the Interior plateau has been one of the most remarkable In railroad building. The line surmounts one of the most inaccessible mountain regions of the world, which has hitherto been traversed only by a few difficult and perijous mule paths. Up the mountains the road Is an almost endless chain of bridges, tunnels and astonishing grades. Some roads In our country expend hundreds of thousands of dollars rather than encounter a steep grade, and sometimes extend their lines for several miles to save even a moderate grade. But some of the grades on the road are 5 Vi per cent This very heavy grade, however, is confined to a portion of the mountain division, thirty-eigmiles In length. The remainder of the road has no grade exceeding 3 per cent Years ago the great enterprise was brought to a sudden standstill at Chlm-bat the foot of the mountains, fifty-si- x miles from Duran, the starting point, which is across the Guayas river from Guayaquil, and Is connected with that part by ferry- - Difficulties, both physical and financial, led to the abandonment of the work, and for thirteen years nothing more was accomplished.
