Panama rail plan called impracticable by expert
Expert opinion from General Manager Jackson of the Central railway states that a railroad to the Isthmus of Panama and into South America is impracticable due to insurmountable difficulties. He says even if built, competition from a Tehuantepec route would prevail as the faster option for travel from New Orleans to Western South American ports. The Tehuantepec railroad is nearing completion, promising a greatly shortened journey. The piece also urges readers to consider agency work with Geo. Stinson & Co. for canvassing and publishing opportunities, noting women can succeed in canvassing too and inviting applications.
