This is the long bridge which spans the Murray River at a little town called Murray Bridge. The railroad which
connects the state railways of Sonth Australia with the Vtctor.’an railways and the transcontinental railway uses this
bridge. The same line Js part of tile rail systems which touch all of the state capitals, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne,
Adelaide and Perth. It has twenty-eight spans and is 1,980 feet long. The five main spans are each 120 feet long, the
others sixty feet in length.
ADELAIDE, SOUTH AUSTRALIA,
AUSTRALIA—UntiI 1911 the state
of Sor.ch Australia handled the at
■"fairs of the Northern Territory, -which 1*
directly north of South Australia. North
ern Territory had been explored and
opened up by McDouall Stuart, a South
Australian, and the state was very Jeal
ous of the efforts of the state of Queens
land to handle the territory. So when,
:about 1870, it was decided that direct
Tommunlcatlon with England by wire
was desirable. South Australia set out
to build the telegraph line tkat should
connect the cable end with the popu
lated southeastern corner of Australia.
1 A cable had just been laid between
the United States and Europe, it was i
proposed to connect England and Aus- j
traiia. Already a cable was laid be- I
tween the continent ftnd Java. Natur- j
ally It would touch Australia on the
north, when extended, as that was the
shortest route end permitted the most
Jand wires, which are cheaper to main
tain and repair. So South Australia
started in to build a telegraph like from j
Port Darwin, capital of the Northern
Territory, to Adelaide, work being done
at both ends along the route which
Stuaxt’s explorations had taken. It was
a gigantic undertaking, for much of the
country was unknown; it was difficult
to get supplies to the laborers, and hos
tile blacks were to be reckoned with.
Finally, however, the 2,000 miles of
telegraph line were completed at a
cost of $£,000,000 and met the cable there.
This was at a time when the colony of
South Australia did not have more than
200.000 people- When the cable from
Java reached Port Darwin Adelaide’s tm
nertance increased.
' It is along this route that it is pro
posed to build the railway which will
cut Australia from north to south, its
southern terminus being Port Augusta
and its northern end being Port Darwin.
South Australia has shown its desire to
help build this line by giving to the
commonwealth government 624 miles of
state-owned railways between Port Au
gusta and Oodnadatta, nedr the Northern
Territory border, and more than half a
million square miles of adjacent lauds.
By utilizing this railway the common
wealth will be able to construct the north
and south railway across Australia at its
narrowest point.
At the time that we were in Adelaide
an advance party had been sent out
with donkey trains and camels to
traverse the route and leave gasoline
for motorcars which later will convey a
royal commission of experienced en
gineers over the route before final de
cision is made.
SOUTH Al STRALIA
NOTED RAILWAY BUILDER.
South Australia has been noted for its
railway building. It laid the first
stretch of state-owned tracks in the
British Empire. The Rues now open
for traffic in the state are 2.242 miles
long. The most difficult feat of rail
road building In the state was the line
which connects Adelaide with Mel
bourne. Adelaide is surrounded by hills,
the Mt. Lofty range they are called,
and to get the railroad through them
it was necessary to bore nine tunnels
tj.allng 2.0 0 yards in length, and built
an iron viaduct over a gorge that is
(Lv feet across. The road now is
operated jointly by the Victorian ana
South Australian governments. On the
same line it was necessary to bridge the
Murray River and its adjacent swamp
► lands which was done by building five
spans of 120 feet each, while the ap
proaches consist of twenty-three spans,
each of which is sixty feet long.
Before the railroad into Victoria <was
built Adelaide already had achieved
prominence as a center of communication
with the Old World. It became the dis
tributing point for the gold mined at
Ballarat and Bendigo, two famous gold
mining camps in the state of Victoria,
which in early days were famous through
out the world and attracted, thousands
of miners and adventurers from the
Doited States. Sou Australia cleared,
a road to the Victorian border through
dense bush and furnished police escorts
fel th gold shipments
f*rr>m Port Augusta. South Australia,
starts the commonwealth-owned transcon
tinental stretch of railroad which con
nects with the line to Perth, on the west
coast, at the once famous gold* mining
town of Kalgoorlie. It is 1,963 miles long
and was built under great difficulties be
cause for hund eds of miles it crosses the
desert and one stretch of It runs for 300
miles In a straight lint" without a single
curve. Its completion linked the capi
tals of all the states by rail.
BUILT ANOTHER INTO
SILVER LEAD XIINTIS.
- South Australia displayed enterprise,
too, when it built a railway northeast
across the border of New Sonth Wales
and made it possible to bring out the
product of the huge Broken Hill silver
laad mines, which is smelted at Port
Pme.
Mining plays a large part in the in
dustry of the state and its great copper
mines long have been famous. The
Kapunda mines, discovered in' 1842 and
glosed down in 1878 by a large influx
at water, are to he reopened in the be
lief that great bodies of ore still are to
be found there. Before they closed
down they had produced mqpe than
$4 ,000,000 worth of copper. Almost five
times that amount was produced by the
Burra Burra mine before it. too, was
closed down, and when capital is avail
able it is believed Burra Burra also
rmay come back again. Two big copper
mines, the Wallaroo and Moonta, dis
’covered in ihe early ‘6os, still are being
worked and have produced some $60,-
..000,000 worth of copper already. Ore
from both these mines is smelted at
Port Wallaroo. There also are copper
mines at a number of places in the
Tlinders range and the completion of
-the transcontinnnental railway line has
.opened' the way for the shipment of cop
per from the lit. Gunson mine, near Port
‘Augusta. f
" Two almost solid mountains of iron
'owned by the Broken Hill Company and
►'TttP ore is shipped by the company's pri
vate railway of thirty-six miles to False
Bay and then conveyed by steamer to
Newcastle, on the east coast, where It Is
amelted and used in the great steel plant
of the Broken Hill concern.
South Australia is the principal pro
ducer in the commonwealth of salt and
rock phosphates and possesses the only
radium mine* which are being worked
Jc Australia. High-grade gypsum, gran
ite, freestone, slate, marble and ochre
for the making of paint are other xuin
erals which have been discovered In the
state and are being used. Gold is found
In 6outh Australia in small quantities
only, when compared with the production
in othei states, but a fair quantity has
been obtained from reefs in the Mt. Lofty
range and from some alluvial deposits
which have been discovered. The gov
ernment has lent assistance to the com
—ssa
Donkeys are found to be of much use in South Australia.! Long train# of
them, hauling wheat, wool and other products, may often be seen crossing the
state. Recently an advance party survey ing the route for a railroad line from
Adelaide to Port Augusta set out with donkey trains, such as pictured above,
to leave gasoline for motor cars, which later conveyed a royal commission of ex
perienced engineers over the route for final decision concerning the route.
panies which are working the reefs by
erecting batteries and cyanide plants at
four locations.
NOT NECESSARY
TO MINE FOR COAL.
Little coal is to be found in the state
aud indeed there is not great demand for
it as fuel, for it has been found that
the mallee tree, a scrubby species of gum,
is almost as good as coal. The mallee is
to be found quite generally in all of the
state's undeveloped lands. When these
are cleared the trees, which are crooked,
knotty and unfit for use as lumber, are
sawed into convenient lengths and shipped
to towns and cities. Later when the far
mer is ridding his ground of stumps he
finds that he hag another source of reve
nue in them, for they are much ia de
mand as fuel by factories and other in
dustries. All along the railway lines I
saw great piles of mallee stumps ready to
te used as fuel.
South Australia has one industry which
is peculiar to that state, the growing of
the wattle tree (a species of eucalyp
tus) for the sake of its bark, which is
largely used in tanning. So valuable
is the bark that immense tracts of land
unsuitable for agricultural purposes
have been cleared of scrub and planted
in wattles. In many parts of 4 he state
the wattle grows naturally and no ex
pense is incurred for planting or culti
vation. Where the wattle is planted the
trees are fit for stripping m from five
to seven years The bark brings from
$25 to $35 a ton and has become of great
commercial importance to South Austra
lia, for, although large quantities are
used in the local tanneries, much bark
is shipped to the other states or over
seas.
Naturally as an agricultural state, the
state government does a great deal to
ward helping its primary producers. It
maintains a splendidly equipped agricul
tural college thirty miles north of Ade
laide and three experimental farms in
different sections, where rainfall and
other conditions make necessary a change

agricultural department has experts of
several kinds for the consultation ol
farmers and maintains a bureau for soil
and seed analyses.
AID FOR SETTLERS
I*ASSED IN' 1908.
In 1900 the state parliament passed an
act permitting the government to make
advances to settlers who hold leases on
crown lands or who have signed agree
ments to bay such lands. Advances are
made for the purpose of clearing land,
for purchasing stock, or for taking up
mortgages held by private persons on
farm lands. Repayment of these ad
vances, which are limited to $3,500 to
any one settler, is extended over thirty
years. Loans aiso are made for the
erection of fences against the inroads of
rabbits, which are greatly destructive
to crops, and dog-proof fences in pas
toral countries where great hordes of
wild dogs have in the past caused big
losses to sheep and, cattle.
Through the state bank, founded In
1895, loans are made to farmers to the

their land and improvements. W’orkers
who desire to own their own homes also
can obtain advances from this bank un

those who may receive such loans to
those whose income is not above $1,200
a year. The bank bas outstanding $5,-
000,000 in advances to settlers and SB,-
000.000 ia advances to workers for homes.
Perhaps the fact that South Australia
has the most thrifty inhabitants of the
commonwealth is accounted for by tue
fact that it has since 1848 maintained a
savings bank state Institution, with
twenty six branches in the principal
towns and almost three hundred agencies

the passage of the act which founded it
as a colony of the empire. Right at the

commissioners and the governor and when
in 1840 the colony was refused self-gov

financing which had made it bankrupt.

terday and Today.”
penses, wages were cut down to a mini
mum to drive the laborers out of the
city and to the farms, and the rich land
holders were compelled .to sell land
cheaper than the governor was allowed
to do by law. Then England paid up
the debt of the colony and gave it a
small 6hare in the government by means
of elective councilmen. It was told that
when it could pay its own way and when
it had 50,000 people it could become self
governing. By 1849 both conditions had
been fulfilled aud South Australia became
a state.
In the years prior to 1901 when, this
six states of Australia became united In
the commonwealth. South Australia was
one of the most ardent advocates of the
plan for a federal government. Since that
year no state has been more ready to
uphold the national government or has
been freer of the Jealousies which mark
most of the relations between states.
Sonth Australia is under a governor
named by the crown, but is really gov
erned by a premier and his ministers of
departments. Its legislation is handled
through a parliament of two houses—an
assembly of forty-six members elected
: one from each of the districts of the state
and a legislative council of twenty mem
bers, four from each of the five main
divisions of the state. The fourteen
cabinet portfolios are held by members
of one house or the other. South Aus
tralia was the first state to pay its mem
bers of parliament, the councilors receiv
ing SBOO a year and the assemblymen
$2,400 a year. South Australia has six
senators and seven representatives in the
federal parliament. Since 1890 women
have been voting for tiemb*'s of parlia
ment.
Education is well taken c. re of in the
state. Childreu from 7 to 13 years of
age are required to attend school, which
is free and nonsectarian. Tuition In
the secondary or high schools also is
j free and it is possible for-a student to
pass through the primary and high
schools, and by means of scholarships
through the university, without much
cost to his or her parents. The govern
ment alone offers more than ninety
scholarships.
Like other Australian states, South
Australia now spends mors than its rev
enue each year, an average defici 4 of
i about 60 cents per inhabitant. Until
1914, when the great war began, it had
a surplus each year, but since that time
I there has been one year only, 1917-191S,
| when It came out on the right side. It
| owes $170,000,000, nn average of almost
I $375 for each inhabitant, but it must he
j remembered that Australia's war loam-'
I were tremendous and that South Aus
j traiia is in debt for its proportionate
j share. It operates its state-owned rail-
ways and hnsinesses at a profit and dur
ing and since the war has increased
taxes more than 50 per cent, but is not
at this time making end* meet.
Mention already has been made of the
377 miles of north and south rail
road which the state of South Aus
tralia turned over to the commonwealth.
Today t ends at Oodnadatta, an insig
nificant little village In appearance but
la reality important, for it is from there,
or rather from nehgott Springs, near
there, that the camel trains outfit for,the

‘back of beyond'' country, f'amels were
brought Into Australia for that very pur
pose and with them there came Afghans
to drive them. But a caniel is a peculiar

many days without water and ln Aus

serenely along for fifteen days over 3.">9
miles of desert and not display undigni
fied haste to drink at the conclusion of
the journey.
It is only in the pentral part of Aus
