ROCKY BAR. IDAHO. SATURDAY. NOVEMBER


The notions OF Terra del Fuego which
prevailed ten years ago have been COM
pletely upset by recent explorations.
The latest travellers there are Messrs.
Rousson and Willems, who have re-
turned to France from their scientific
mission in Terra del Fuego. These ex-
plorers believe the northern part Of the
island can be turned to good account,
and that the day is not far distant when
large herds and fiocks will be raised upon
ranches established NIL along the river
valleys. large district north OF the
Straits of Magellan, in Patagonia, which
was wholly nnoccupied twelve years ago.
is now full of little farms devoted TO
raising sheep and cattle.
The owners have prospered so well
that the territory they occupy has be-
come too crowded Ii ID impossible to
extend this business further north, and
the farmers will therefore be compelled
to turn To Terra del Fuego. which will
receive the overflow from Patagonia. On
Dawson Island, near the northwest coast
of Terra del Fuego, Jesuit fathers are
now engaged in stock raising, and for
two years or SO fine ranch has been
established on the northern coast of
Terra del Fuego. where there are today
about 2o,000 sheep and 5000 cattle. The
English have been the first TO establish
themselves in this territory. Stock
raisers are now reaping profit of 80
per cent, per annum. The explorers say
the availability Of the island for stock
raising has been amply proven. and
there is now no doubt that prosperous
future is before it.-Chicago Times.
