Ayres is only Lis miles. You would
think that all the lumber of the Rio
de la Plata basin would come from
Paraguay. Still 1t does not. Why?
Because it costs too much to get the
woods down the river. These woods
are almost all hard. They are as heavy
as iron, and when you put a log on
the water 1t sinks to the bottom. There
Is no means of getting them from the
interior to the sriver except upon the
railroad where freights are high or
upon carts or on boats on the little
streams which are tributariec of the
Paraguay. Lumber carriage is all paid
for by the pound, and the freights cut
the profits off Of the business. Labor
is low, as far as daily wages is con-
cerned, but, as measured by results, 1t
Is high. The men are lazy and inef-
hcient. There is no machinery. The
logs are sawed out by hand, one man
standing on top and another below.
The most Of the trees are crooked, and
1t is almost impossible to get straight
log.
SAEABLE WOODS.
are wonderfully beautiful. Quebracho
Colorado is as red as the dark moss
rose. 1t is used for dye wood and
tanning, and there is a German firm
that is shipping a large amount of it
to the United States. The best of it
comes from the west bank Of the Para
quay river from what is called the
Paraguayan chaco. This wood is also
used for railroad ties. 1t brings about

spouse to Tie series of questions sent
out by 1t to officers and others con-
nected with the expedition. Until these
answers are received 1t will be impos-
sible to reach conclusions.
1t was learned this afternoon that the
court has practically determined to
visit the packing houses in. Western
cities from which beef was furnished
The pilgrimage will take in Chicago,
South Omaha. Kansas City and per
haps st. Louis.
Some Of the officers, whose reports
Gen. Miles has placed with the courr,
are now in the Philippines. Their tes-
timony will not be sought. OF course,
they could not be ordered here and
the taking Of their dispositions would
be attended with too much delay and
inconvenience. 1t was pointed out by
a member of the court that their testi-
mony would be cumulative. and, there
fore. really unnecessary, since 1t would
be in accord generally with what would
come from officers who are accessible.
The DISPOSITIONS of a number of or
f1cers now in Cuba will be taken.
The court will meet at 1880 o'clock
tomorrow morning and resume behind

all and is not considered advisable.
I would say, however. that no pur-
purchases should be made by our peo-
pie without personal investigation.
The man who thinks of putting his
money in Paraguay should come here
and study the conditions. He should
not buy without seeing the land, as
there are large swamps in some parts
Of the country and the raily season
covers such lands with water.
FORESTS OF PARAGUAY.
The forests of Paraguay are full Of
fine woods. 1 believe they offer good
chances for investment, but still the
wheels of Dame Fortunes lumber cars
In South America are clogged with
natural difficulties. which can only be
understood by those upon the ground.
There is a big demand for lumber In
all the South American countries. I
found Oregon pine at all the ports of
the west coast, and our Maine pine
comes to Brazil, Uruguay, the Argen-
tine and goes even around through the
Strait of Magellan. This pine is car
ried a distance of more than 5000 miles
by ship to the Buenos Ayres markets.
Here in Paraguay the forests are right
on the river with a water communica-
ton as good as that of the Mississippi
between them and the markets, and
the distance from here to Buenos

are large, but SO far the cattle uIRn
them are of a low grade. They do not
compare with those of the Argentine
or Uruguay, and the money made Is
not through careful management nor
good breeding, but purely on account
of the rich lands and fine climate. l
am told that the natural increase of the
stock is from 20 to 35 percent~annually
as to the number of animals, and from
80 to 80 per cent as to the number of
cows. Cattle are now worth in the
neighborhood of $40 head, although
good fat beeves will bring more at the
markets. 1t is estimated that the coun-
try will support eight times as many
cattle as it now has. The estimate Is
that square mile of pasture will main
tain 260 cattle and that square league
will feed 1,500 grown beeves.
HOW LAND IS SOLD.
Land in Paraguay is sold by the
square league. A Paraguayan league
contains $500 acres, or almost 1000
acres less than square league of the
Argentine Republic. Land sells all the
way from $500 gold upward per league.
There is little good land that can be
had at the lowest price. for at that it
would bring less than two cents an
acre. But 1 have seen what I am told
is fair grazing land sold at 800 a
league, and there are times when you
can buy fairly good pasture for less
than this. Such land requires only
fencing to make disable. The cattle
upon it might be herded without fenc-
ing but this would throw it open to
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-02-19

SALE There is a demand for the meat
as well as the hides. Paraguay has
about two million cattle. 1t has three
for every man, woman and child in tire
country, but it does not raise enough
meat for It's own consumption.
These people are beef eaters. They
eat the meat fresh and they dote on
it when it is dried and sailed. AS you
ride through the country you see strips
and sheets of meat hanging upon poles
and swaying to and fro in the breeze
as the red flannel shirts of our wash
ings sway to and fro in the United
States. The air is the refrigerator Of
the South American countries. The
meat Is not kept in cold storage, but it
is dried by the warm air and the sun,
and when it is as hard as the bone in
it it is laid away for future consump-
ton
Dried beef is one of the chief exports
of this part of the world. I will bring
more in all the markets of the South
American countries than fresh meat,
and it is the only kind of meat that will
keep Beef treated in the ordinary way
spoils after a day, and the regulations
for many of the markets are such that
it must be thrown away. Dried beef or
jerked beef is used for stews. 1t is
cooked with rice, potatoes and man
dioca, and every one uses 1t.
FORTUNES IN STOCK RAISING.
So far there has been no business of
this kind to speak Of in Paraguay. The
countries of Uruguay and the Argen-
tire make fortunes by shipping dried
meat to Brazil and the West India
Islands Here the money comes chiefly
from the sale of cattle on foot aid from
their hides. About 100000 hides are ex-
ported from Paraguay every year. They
are sent down the rivers to Buefos
Ayres and thence many Of them are
shipped to the United tSates.
AS to stock farms, the most of them

NEW YORK, Feb. 18.-Another So
ciety woman is to be seen in the glare
of the footlights. This time it is Mrs.
Jack" Wilmerding, who recently got
out of an asylum, thanks largely to the
efforts of her friend, Mrs. Jack"
Bloodgood. Mrs. Bloodgood finds the
stage much more to her liking than
she found society. What more natural,
then, that she should persuade her old
friend, Mrs. Wilmerding. to follow her
example?
Mrs. Bloodgood made her first ap-
pearance last winter under Charles
Frohman's direction in THE Conquer
ors," at the Empire She has improved
considerably since then. and is now
playing acceptably the part originated
by Ethel Barrymore in "Catharine."

A very important part of the Amer

These are Of the Methodist Episcopal
church. They have two very good

I would say in closing this letter that
the Methodists have done more In
South America in the way of education

PARAGUAYAN LANDS.
AS a result Of these talks. and also
from my travels through large part
of the country, ] judge that there must
soon be a decided increase in the value
of Paraguayan lands. The best parts
Of South America are being absorbed
more rapidly than we think. he Ar
gentine and Uruguay have but little
good government land left. Real es
tate has gone up in the countries south
of here, and today cheap lands for

whether there Is much wild pasture
in Paraguay that is not owned by
some one, but the lands are still low
The grass is green here all the year
round. There is water everywhere, and

Another very hard wood is the lega-
cho, which is also used for railroad
purposes. 1t Is So hard that it will turn
the edge of a steel ak. This is very
sound wood, not prone to crack and Of
great strength. 1t is of greenish vel
low color, and some varieties of it have
a curl in it like the birds eye maple.
1t brings good prices. Lepacho would

I should think that an American
furniture factory established in Para
quay would pay well. The country now
imports Its furniture from Germany,
Austria and the United States. Both
Uruguay and Paraguay get the most
OF their furniture from the same
sources, and, the prices of all such
things are remarkably high I saw

America, but owing to their high prices

There are many things In which it
