may settle the controversy there is sure
to be unending trouble in subjecting the
people of Acre to any of the existing
governments. The rubber republic, as 1t
is sometimes called, is so remote from
civilization so difficult Of access and con-
trolled by such reckless spirits that its
subjugation will be a contract sufficient
to tax the resources of any of the ma
tions concerned. It's revenue can be
made unprecedented. I'm proportion to its
size and population. by the simple inn
position of an export duty on crude rub
ber. It's agricultural resources are un-
limited, and its forests are filled with
valuable cabinet and dye woods, medi-
cinal plants, and food products.
1t is significant that the proposed capi-
tai city of Acre is to be called Nova
York. Its frontier custom-house Puerto
Alonzo. on the Bolivian boundary, is
open for business, and its chief city,
Puerto Acre, is reported to contain a
population of more than $4,000.
Most of the little we know about Acre
is derived from the French engineer, AL
bert de Lautreppe of Paris, who was
commissioned by the Peruvian govern
ment to survey the route for the pro-
posed railroad. He found the plan to be
feasible, so far as natural features of
the country were concerned. -
