One of the most noticeable things in

river systems. Montevideo is ut the foot
OF one of the greatest river systems in the

Montevdeo to Ascension 1000 miles in
the interior. The river system is some
thing enormous in its volume of water.
me river Platte has an average width of
over 100 miles. The river Paraguay varies
from 3 to 20 miles in width. 1t Is as large
as the Mississippi in its lower sections and
affords safe navigation the year round.
Temperature of Uruguay.
II have never seen snow, ice or frost in
Uruguay" said Col; Swain in speaking of
maximum temperature is never more than
hundred. The winter which is in prog

periods. The weather is very similar to
California weather at this time"
All of the people of South America talk
Spanish and Mr. and Mrs Swain have
learned the language since their residence
in Montevideo. The court customs are rath-
er stiff and formal. The majority of the co
pie are of Spanish descent. In Montevideo
It is estimated that there are 10000 pure
Spaniards, 10000 French. 1900 Italians

strong hands waiting for higher
prices. Ranch lands in parts of Kan
sas, Nebraska and the Dakotas have
advanced 20 per cent over the prices
that prevailed three years ago. Large
bodies of land are being taken up by
syndicates in the belief that the rapid
settlement of the Indian lands and the
substitution of agriculture for grazing
will soon produce strong demand.
Improved methods have brought into
use large areas that were formerly
barren. The outlook is accordingly
considered very promising.
The general situation is such as to
indicate better day for land values
all over the country. In Maryland
and Virginia, for example, and much
more in Delaware, Pennsylvania, New
Jersey and New York, there is ten
dency of the wealth of the cities to
spread to the more attractive country
districts. Improved ideas of living,
with keener appreciation of the val
lie of pure air and pure water, cause
largely increased number of persons
to wish to own summer homes in the
country. Such as cannot go from
their business in the city or town are
content to extend the suburban area,

GOING BACK TO THE FARM. 8
BALTIMORE g

Farm land is worth what it will
earn interest on, and the fair crops
and prices of the last three years have
accordingly increased the value or
farms as investments. Some years
ago land fell to a low valuation. Farms
with good buildings sold for less than
the buildings cost. But the return of
business activity and pood prices has
greatly altered the situation. Under
such circumstances land was bound to
improve in prices, and it has done so.
In the west there has been a decided
advance in farming lands. This is as
cribed by the Kansas City correspond
ent of the New York Evening Post to
the growing demand from the south,
together with renewed demand from
the Pacific coast. The export trade
by way of the gulf has also been an
advantage. But the excellent crops of
the last three years, together with
good prices, have been the chief fac
tor. The farmers have increased in
number, and, being prosperous, they
invest their surplus in real estate,
which they find pays good return.
| In the towns there is no boom, but
slow revival from past booms. In
Kansas City, for example, lots are in
