having gotten through with IFS diff

period OF tranquility, and that immi-

war or revolutionary CONVERSIONS OF
any kind; they negd have 10 fears OF

"As 10 the agricultural possibilities
OF this country, immigrants will have
a large assortment Of pursuits from
which 10 make a selection. Peru is
the richest OF South American coun-
tries, and this part is Peru's richest

copaivs, tobacco and ivory mute.

impression that as SION as the railroad |
is finished, and al coon as-poople who |
want to emigrats learn OF tina oppor-
tunities awaiting them in Peru, the
country will bs populated in a very
short time, and populated by people
who can make the most of what is |
given them and, in enriching them
selves, develop the count y. One of
these days not very far distant Peru
will be something like the United |

intersectsd by railroads, civilized,
rich, powerful, and combining in
itself all the ingredients that 20 TO-

what the building of the railroad con-
Meeting the Pacific and Atlantic oceans
in America was for the United States.
