splendent in the brightest reds and
blues. The alligators now become more
numerous, and you are frequently ap-
preached by Indians who have tiger
skins for sale. A good skin will bring
from So to $40 In addition to this,
there is sometimes a bounty paid for
such skins. There is one man on the
river who has made quite a little for
tune by killing tigers. He has killed
193 and has received In the neighbOr-
hood of $4,000 for them. He got $40
apiece for the skins, and the cattle
owners paid him bounty Of $5 per
tiger.
Other things offered for sale are par
rots and monkeys. The prices are low,
and you can have them almost for the
asking. You can also buy bows and
arrows, Indian baskets and hammocks.
The hammocks are expensive. Some
are made of the brilliant feathers of
tropical birds and cost as high as 5000
apiece.
ASUNCION TO MATTO CROSSE.
The province of Matto Crosse is one
of the largest in Brazil. 1t is as large
as one-sixth of the whole United States
not including our outlying possessions.
1t forms the southern central half of
the country. The greater part of 1t
has never been explored. and it is as
Wild today as it was when Sebastian
Cabot made his way up the Paraguay
river only few years after America
was discovered

in the house who speak with more
volubility, and on many more frequent
occasions, than Mr.. Roberts, it Is quite
certain that the latter is capable of
presenting a subject with a fitting elo-
quence that has won him more admir-
ers in all parties. MIR. Roberts possess
ses a rich, resonant voice of good COM
pass and always under perfect control
In the art Of putting things" in a
terse, clear and comprehensive style,
majority of his fellow members will
readily accord him the well deserved
laurel.

and. in fact, in its possibilities, one OF
the richest lands Of the globe.
This territory is to be reached only
by the Parana and Paraguay river
systems. 1t has no railroads connect
ing 1t with the rest of Brazil, and it's
people rely for their supplies upon the
steamers Of the Parana system. Every
bit Of imports Is brought over 2,700
miles by river boats, and the officials,
who as q rule come from Rio Janeiro.
must travel a thousand miles further.
Leaving Asuncion on your way to
Matto Crosse, you first pass Villa Con-
cepcion, the biggest city of north Para
quay. There is a white custom house
on the banks, and back Of this the
town.. Conception contains about 5000
people. 1t is made up Of succeed
buildings and thatched huts. 1t Is
business center, exporting large guam
titles Of mate or Paraguayan tea, and
hides. There are more Indians and
negroes there than in Asuncion, and
you find that the Indians and negroes
increase as you go north.
At Coimbra, Brazil, 1910 miles from
Buenos Ayres, you see upon the west
bank of the Paraguay the first village
Of any size on the river. So far all
the settlements have been on the east
bank of the river. the country to the
west being almost entirely. wild. At
ther on you come to the little village
of Albuquerque, with low, wooded
mountains behind it., and about 175
miles further the steamer stops at
Corumha.
CHIEF PORT OF BRAZIL.
Corumba is over 2.2O0 miles from the
Atlantic. It is almost as far inland by
water as Salt Lake City is from New
York by rail. 1t is the chief port of
Matto Groso. Here is located the only
custom house of the province, and the
officers come on board and open your
baggage.
The steamer stops long enough for
you to get a good view Of the city. It
Is situated on hill, commanding the
country for miles. There are woods
about the city, and the place is pictur-
esque. It has the usual Spanish build
ings of stucco and tiles, with palm
trees growing here and there in the
gardens.
There is a beautiful plaza In the
center of Corumba, about which are

BRAZILIAN TOWN OF CUYABA.
1t Is shortly after you leave Corum-
ba that you pass out of the Paraguay
river and enter the San Lorenzo. The
San Lorenzo is not 80 big as the Para
quay. In the Paraguay proper steamers
draw as much as nine feet OF water,
while those to which you change at
Corumba do not draw over five. It
takes twelve hours to reach the San
Lorenzo river from Corumba, and you
sail a day and half on 1t before you
enter the Cuyaba river, up which you
steam to the city.
The steamers are always crowded, 200
often being taken in one little boat.
The whole Journey from Corumba to
Cuyaba requires six days, and the fare
is 81 dollars in gold. 1t Is one Of the
cheapest steamship trips Of the world.
This price includes your meals-coffee
In the morning, breakfast at 10 a. m.
and dinner in the evening.
The scenery of the San Lorenzo and
Cuyaba rivers is very tropical. There
are many palms. There are cotton trees
which have balls of cotton upon them
as big as oranges. Others have bios
SONS of a silky fiber which hangs down
in great cones of white. This stuff is
used by the people for making pillows.
Cuyaba has about 10000 people. 1t is
surprisingly good city for it's location
and very much up-to-date. 1t has
newspapers, hospitals and schools. 1t
