Mr. Santos could speak but three or

to make herself understood in part, and
Just enough to help herself and hus-
Dand through the country together
alone. She said that her husband is a
heavy manufactured of hard and soft
wood lumber, also an extensive match
manufacturer. He employs 200 people

in his match factory. The men are paid
from so cents to Sl.50 day, and the
women from % TO 80 cents day. He

park, for the reason that times in
Lisbon are somewhat depressed, and he
did not think it advisable to do so. He
buys large quantities of mahogany and
other expensive woods from Mexico and
South America for his factory. His pine
timber is all secured in Europe. She
says that white pine is plentiful over

yellow and Norway pines.

nothing but frontier settlement. Ali

wild beasts. This Northwest country,
