Saturday, August 15, 1914. 1 I IT. I I Mi 18 THE VANCOUVER WORLD A FAMILY REMEDY AN UNEXPLORED EMPIRE AND NEW RAILROADS TO OPEN IT FOR MANY YEARS cotton lands of tha future. The people hava been experimenting with seed from America and Egypt, and they find that they can grow cotton all the way from eight or nine thousand feet above the sea downward. Indeed, some good cotton is beins raised In the depressions of the high plateau of the Andos and on the slopes that lead down into the valleys.

Some has been grown even at two miles above the sea. This Is the case near Cuico, Peru. When I called on the governor of that province and asked aa to th agricultural development of the Andean region he told me that they were successfully experimenting with cotton and tea. Ha brought out some cotton balls which he had produced on his own farm near Cuico. The staple was comparatively short, but tha lint was beautifully white and silky.

That cotton was planted in January, and It was ready for picking In August. The governor said that tea did very well, and that ha believed the mountain sides lining the valley of Cusco might soma day be covered with tea gardens. So far, the bushes have been grown only in a small way. The seed hajs been Imported from Japan and The land already swarms with wild cattle, and (treat herds are now feeding alon? the banks of the Pilcamayo and on the borders of the Paraguayan tihaco. There are wild cattle also in northern Bolivia, next t' Brazil, vary near tha tract of five million acres taken up by Mr.

Murdo Mackenzie and the Brazil Land and Cattle Company. That tract has the best of pasture, and It is already stocked with 150,000 beef cattle.

ln the middle of the South Ame 'ran continent, separated from the Pacific O. aan by a trackless desert, which belongs to w.th a stiai wall of mountains and plateaus runn.n it from north to south, Biiiy.n. until now has been practically a hermit land. It has no seaport, and until within the past feneration it ha i no ra.lway connections with the rest of the Today the best part of it ts unknown. I refer to that on the eastern slope of the Andes.

The discover.es so far have heT confined to the hish plateau, upheM between the two ranses of mountains. This plateau is on the roof of the world. It is a great plain as bi? as the ffl'e of Ohio, situated at a he.s. it of from two and a half to three miles above tee sea. It Is walled in by mountain, and is so poorly watered that proiuces only the acantv grass unon which the alpacas and llamas feed.

It Is bleak and barren ana the winls that sweep over It are so cuttin? that I wear a face mask to protect my complexion. This is knitted of alpaca wool. It covers the whole of my head, bavin? only mall holes fo my eyes and mouth Nevertheless, this plateau 1s one of the. treasure vaults of the world, containing vast deposits of silver and (roll, copper and tin. West of this plateau is the desert.

You1 could put New England and all of the middle states and all the southern states except Texas Inside it. and the would still he room to spare Nevertheless, it has only about as many people as Chicago, an! its pure whites do not number more than the population of either Memphis, or Birmingham, Ala. This country has altogether something like one million seml olvllizcd Indians and soma hundreds of thousands of Cholos or half breed. These people all live on the high plateau of the Andes, a region that has all the cities and towns, and that practically Includes th whole of Bolivia as the world knows It today. Fast of the Andes is another Bolivia.

This is the frrntler or backwoods of the country. It is inhabited only by a few thousand savaires. Nevertheless it contains half of the area of the republic, and is said to he one of the richest lands of the world. Eastern Bolivia Is one tenth as large as the States proper. It Is equal to six states the size of Illinois, and Is one 1'iird larger than either Germany or Trance.

The most of this vast territory is well fitted to be the home of a civilized people. The land consists of fertile plains tha slope from the Andean wall toward the east, south and north, and gradually fall to a general level, where the highest points are only about 1600 feet above the sea. The plain fades away at the north Into the Amazon valley, and at tha east and south Into thoss of the Paraguay and Parana. The country is In fact a continuation of tha great cattle fields of Argentina. Paraguay and Matto Grosso, and It may eventually he one of the great meat baskets of the United States.

The short extension of this proJeted rad would the cat t'e fields of eas'ern Bolivia and bring them much nearer the seaboard than our cattle f.e'.ds west of the Mississippi, from where we have shipped vat quantities of meat t5 Europe. Another probability of the near future Is that railroads will be built from the Argentine boundary through eastern Bolivia to I'orumba. Brazil, with a railway centre at Santa Crux. The lifer town lies in the heart of the petro'eum territory, and it will eventually be a great railroad centre. A line has been surveyed from there to the Marmore river, which runs into the Madeira and on to the Amazon, and in the far future this msv be extended throurh the Amazon valley to Iojuitos.

Another road has been surveyed from the city of Cocha nba, high up In the mounta'ra southeast of La Paz, to connect with the San'a Cruz extension where it Joins the Mamore. All of these lines, with the exception cf the southern connection with the Argentine svstem, are in the iture. However, the Bolivian government has decided that i the Andean rerions and tha eastern p'alna must he ur.it and It is planning railroads to that end. The Argentine eoyernment Is anxious to build ita railroads Into Its undeveloped territories known as the Chaco, and Paraguay has been invited to extend the railway from Asuncion Into eastern Bolivia with a terminal at San'a Crui. At the present time easte Bolivia 1 practically inaccessible and it cannot be opened up to colonization until ral'roada are built.

There is no way to get into the country excepting on foot or on mule back, and no way to get the orops out. When toe railroad ia completed to Corumba the cattle can be driven there and shipped to the markets of eastern Kraili; but Just now It is not possible to send them down to Buenos Aires, on account of the heavy freight rates of the steamers on the Paraguay and Parana rivera. So far ail of the Bolivian railway building has been confined to the plateau and its connections with the Pacific coast. The most of the eitlee are still inaccessible except upon mules, and there are towns of twenty and thirty thousand and more than can be reached only by mules. Away from the railroads there are practically no hotels fit for a white man to live In.

The country inns are more like s'ables than anything else, and In the out of the way places It ia almost Impossible to buy food of the Indians or to obtain quarters in their huts for tha night. Tie beds of the inns are platforms of atone or sun dried bricks, and the hedging la often loiisy and dirty, 'ne should carry a camp bed, and he sno uld be supplied with rugs, heavy boo's ard a rubber coat or ponoho. He should also carry along aome provisions. Daring my stay here I have gone over the exhibit that Bolivia has prepared for the Ban Francco exposition. A large part of this comes from easern Bolivia.

It Includes, with other things, samples of tine timber found there. About one of that Whole country is covered with treea. The area Is as large as the of Missouri and the timber Is about the finest in South America. Some of 1t la so hard that will turn the edge of an axe, and a great deal of it takes a beautiful polls. The cabinet woods Include ebony, walnut, ahegany.

cedar and llgnnm vltae. Some of rhe fees are of great girth and nelgdrt, and the wood is ao heavy that It wll not float. It will require railroads or steeme a to bring It to the markets. There are also many rubber trees trees that bear s'lk cotton and those producing vegetable we. famn'es of a'l the.se products will be sent to Francisco.

Pr. Yelas'n has devoted many veers to the study of this section, and in his report he discusses extension of railways and the open In? up the mineral resources. of the (treat possibilities lies In the petro'e tm deposits. Eastern Bolivia has a strip of land running north and south for a distance of J09 miles where the oil oozes out of the around and where It has been used by the Indians for fenerations for I'trhtlng and burn ing. A mi Tiber of oil companies have already ben formal for the exploitation of these deposits, and concessions hava been granted to Americans and others to develop some of them Amon? te fore'snrs who are Interested In tha region is tve svndleate.

which has vast prtperties in Paraguay and Brazil and which has to do w'tti Jie building of tie Madeira railroad, far up the Amazon valley. Experimental wells are now being put wn. and the prospect of discovering f'owtng wells is aild to he rood. Tha chief difficulty will be the getting of th oil to tve market. Twe dls anca across country to the Atlantic seaboard In a straight line is considerably more than 1000 miles, and this will necessitate the pumping of the oil over te plateau of Brazil.

If a Pipe I'ne should he run down from the lower end the field down to Asuncion In Fa a euay. and thence throurh tha Parana valiev to Buenos Aires, the d'stancs would be almost twice as rrst, but tha a'ope would be adual and uninterrupted all the way to the sea. Such a p'pe line would have the marss of the fast populating country of Argentina on the way, and the oil would command a ready market thee for hofh fuel and lighting. As to coal, so far nona of has been discovered In this part of tha world. There is said to soma In the northern part of the Peruvian Andes and on the coast of southern Chile there are great beds that run far out under the Pacific ocean.

Tha latter mines have been worked for generations, and they still supply a large part of the fuel of the west coat. There Is no coal in Brazil sufficiently good to make ateam or smelt iron, and ao far Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay hava shown no fuel of value. Mr. Forbes, an eminent English geologist who has done some work in eastern Bolivia, saya that an enormous carboniferous deposit probably exists at tha eastern foot of the Andes and that geologic conditions lead to tnat belief. No soundings or borlnss have yet been made, but one evidence is the petroleum springs thirty miles from Santa Cruz.

Aa to the gold of eastern Bolivia, the Indians have for ages been washing it out from the headwaters of the Benl, and the gravel of that stream shows color all the way down to the Amazon. It is believed that a great part of the treasures of the Inras cams from the Benl; and the Engllah and American miners are prospecting in that region today. Gold is being found In Matto Grosso, just across the bordere from eastern Bolivia. They are working placera in the provinces of Santa Javier and also In Santa Rosa, where during the dry season they bore from 30 to 45 feet down into the beds of the canela and wish the dirt. Many of tha rivers of eastern Bolivia have never been proapected.

They have a deep undercurrent, and run over slate and granite so that the rough tools and clumay methods ao far used have not proved effl dent, except where there are alluvial deposits thrown up by the etreama Theee deposits are usually about three or four feet wide, and of about the aame depth Some gold is being found In the Qulaere, which is about 50 miles lorn The Qulaere flows over a bed of quart upon which ia an alluvial deposit containing gold that could be worked br tha use of dredge. There are also nuartz deposl's in the neighborhood of these rivers, and the placer miners report the finding of quartz, Tlslbly In crusted with gold. There Is one quartz vein in Santa Rosa, called the Cle mante, whose every test shows gold. The great difficulty, however. Is In the getting In of machinery and the reduction of the ores.

So far there are practically no means of transportation. An4 this brings me to tha question n' communication. South America la a' the beginning of a treat railroad era New lines are being built in nearly a.l of the republics of the southern half the continent, and many roads have been projected to open up near territory. There are several already planned and surveyed that will materially affect eastern Bolivia. One la the extension of the A ntofagasta railroad which runs from tha Paolflo ocean a ross tha desert to the great tin mining town of 1'yunl, and thence on to the pla'eau of the' Andes, ending here at I.a Paa.

Thla line has built a branch from I'yunl to the town of Tuplze. and it la now within a short distance of the Argentine rallroai system. Only about 100 miles remain to be built, but when this is completed there will be a transcontinental route across P.olivia from the Paci' orean the Atlantic. This road will pi througn the southern part of the co intry. and not very far away from the oil fields Another possibility of opening up eastern lies In the rsllroa is Brazilians are building Into Matto Grosso.

They have a irveved llnee to connect the Atlantic seacoat at the Bay of Sao Francisco with the csfle regions of Matto Croeso with.n a short dle'anre cf toe Bolivian boundary. The pastures of Matto Grosso will support millions of stock, and they ere only about as far fron. Sto Paulo, the rreat city of southern firm 1. a om New Toric to Cleveland.

The plants are easily grown, and, as the labor used costs only about 15 cents a day. It is thought that the buslneaa can be made a profitable one. One of tha reasons for the tea experi menta has been tne hope that it might take the place of the coca shrub, which is now being grown at comparatively low profits, on account of the fall In the price of cocoalne.

There are vast tracts in Peru and Bolivia devoted to the growing of Mils plant, which in its habits Js not unlike tea It thrives in the temperate regiora of the western plateaus. It Is set out In plantations, and the third year after sprouting It la ready to crop. The leaves are then stripped from the shrub and dried flat. They are then put up in bags, and brought to the cities where they are peddled out to the natives. All of the Indians chew coca leaves, and the demand for them Is enormous.

Every farm hand lias to have them, and an allowance of coca Is a part of the contract wifh all the miners. The coca leaves are also shipped to Europe and the United States to be manufactured into the cocoalne of commerce. A.mong the products of eaatern Bolivia are and quinine. Bolivia has been producing millions of pounds of rubber every year and there are rubber camps scattered all along the tributaries of the Amazon. Just now these campa are in a bad way on account of the competition the rubber of South America is having with that of Ceylon and Malaysia, which, although cultivated, can be produced at a far less cost than that of the wild trees of eastern Bolivia.

For a similar reason there is also a falling off In the product of the cinchona tree, from which comes our quinine. Quinine Is often called Peruvian bark. It first came from Peru, but later from the rrees that grow wild In this country. For a long time Bolivia and Peru had a monopoly of the production, and in order to hold they forbade the sending of cinchona seeds away from the country. However, some were sneaked out and taken to Ceylon and other parts of India.

Plantations, were started there and within a few years the Indian quinine was competing with that of South AmerVta. Later still the seeds were carried to Java, and now Jav Is producing most of te quinine of the Music (ronttoned from Ef English and Australian Artists Will Contribute Headline Features Next Week.
