IN THE ANDES
IN WINTER TIME

A traveller who undertook to go ex-
Peru in winter describes some of his
experiences as follows: Leaving the
Viscarra on the west, near the headwa-
tiers, arrived within short distance
of nv objective oint-Chonta-when a
fierce snowstorm overlook US and caus-
ed US to lose the track. On many OF
these mountain uplands or punas in
terminable SwampS exist and across
these we fioundered for hours, on sew
eral occasions nearly losing some of the
pack animals One of these almost dis
appeared with it's load in treacherous
place, and was only saved by superhu-
man exertions. Shortly afterward an
other, in crossing a bog, went down,
and in struggling overturned it's load
of provisions and utensils. Freeing it
self partly, the animal bolted, drag
ging after it it's burden, and disappear
ed, in spite of our efforts to stop it,
around the base of a hill While the
muleteers pursued it, 1 rode over the
track locating the utensils, such as
pots, the frying pans, cups, spoons,
packets of flour, sugar and coffee and
divers such articles, which were strewn
among the snow.
Might was upon us; there We're no
habitations and no fuel in the vicinity,
for the only combustible in those high
punas is the dried grass. There was
nothing for it but to face circumstances
as they were, and I gave the order to
clear a space from the snow and plant
the tent. The altitude was more than
Is, $50 feet, something less than three
miles vertically above sea level. The
icy blast blew through and through us
and the water poured in beneath the
bottom edge of the canvas. Just pre-
vious to this my mule had slipped and
fallen, rolling onto me, not doing me
more injury, however, than a broken
finger, the pain of which by no means
distracted from the discomfort which I
experienced.
But the traveller who has chosen
the winter time for his travels in the
Andes against the advice of his friends
must make light of the consequences.
and 1 ordered a trench to be dug on
the upper side of the tent. which pre-
vented the water entering and further
wetting of the bedding, while the snow
shortly covered the canvas to a depth
of foot and afforded protection from
the cold. A small alcohol lamp which
I carried for emergencies afforded the
means of making coffee, and I was able
to obtain a few hours sleep; my only
preoccupation being for the unfortu-
nate mules, which, exposed to the gale
found but little fodder for the depth of
snow.
My three cholos, who had been my
only companions during this arduous
expedition, resisted uncomplainingly
the hardships they were called upon
to suffer. Wet to the skin and exhaust
ed with the pursuit and capture of the
mule. they nevertheless put forth every
effort toward securing the comfort of
the patron, for have always been for
tunate in being able to attach these
faithful fellows to me by simple meth
DDS of strict justice toward them"-

PROMOTION TALK
BY SWIFT OF EVA

The Santa Cruz Sentinel has the fol-
Percy Swift, a former Santa-Cruzan,
who is now the manager of a depart
ment in the Eva Plantation Co. of
Hawaii, is in town for a short vacation.
Mr.. Swift was Deputy County Recorder
here for a number of years under Hon.
Ed. Martin and Recorder Cooper. His
father was for many years proprietor
of the Pacific Ocean House, and he is
well-known to many residents of this
city.
A BIG PLANTATION
Fortune has favored Mr.. Swift and
he speaks well of the Islands. The Eva
Co. has the largest sugar plantation in
the world, comprising 1900 acres, with a
capacity of $4,000 tons of sugar a year.
Mr.. Swift handles the merchandising
department, and the soda and distilled
water works, which are an absolute
necessity to Americans. Three thou
sand men are employed on the planta-
ton. which has 80 miles of railroad
track, 20 miles of portable field track
for moving the crop, and five loco
motives
Japanese, Koreans and Chinese are
the principal laborers, and Mr.. Swift
gives the palm to the Chinese as the
best workers The latter are hard to
secure. Out of a population of 156, 900
there are only 5000 whites on the Is
lands.
Many Japs and Koreans are doctors,
dentists and lawyers, but the Koreans
as a rule are very dull and stupid The
Japs come to the Islands for a short
time and then leave on the next stea m
err for the United States, but the heat
is too severe for white men so they
have to be satisfied with Asfatics
|SANTA-CRUZANS IN THE ISLANDS.
Asked as to the -Cruzans in the
Island, Mr.. Swift recalled several. Kirk
Porter, he says is now running the
largest furniture house in Honolulu.
Joe Schwartz is agent for the Key
stone Elgin Watch Co. for the Islands,
and is doing a good business. Ernest
Morgan, brother OF Miss NJ. z. Nor
gan, is handling the wholesale depart
ment of the HOLSTER Drug Co. Embert
Brown, a former drug clerk with J. G..
Tanner, is on the Honolulu Evening
Bulletin. Fred Mckinney, a son of H.
Z. Mckinney, is in the abstract bust
ness. Percy Douglas, a former Santa
Cruzan, is also in the Islands.
Mr.. Swift left his family at home
while he came for a short visit with
his mother in this city. He finds Santa
Cruz improving with every visit, but
expects to remain in the Islands for
some years yet.

MARKET STILL GUESSING on
SIZE OF WHEAT CROP.
Crop concededly High--Spring Wheat
Outlook Bright.

Chicago, July 27.--Upon the conditions
that obtain in the big northwest spring
wheat states In the next few weeks,
hinges the future OF the wheat markt.
There IL time enough for damage in that
region 10 send prices kiting toward the
81 mark. The trade is not looking for
such disaster.
There are still all kinds Of estimates
OF the winter wheat crop. The prepon-
ponderance OF late advices has had
bear influence. Whatever the yield in
number Of bushels may be, there is A
general agreement that the quality of
the grain is uniformly high.
Snow Il making extended investiga-
ton Of conditions in Minnesota and the
Dakosss. He finds rust OF Nthe red yari-
ETY., but in insignificant quantities. As
suming that the spring wheat crop will
be as good as present conditions warrant
one TO expect there will be gradual
return Of prices to an export basis, or
very near it.
With the government July report as
the basis, western authorities are fig
urlng the present prospects Of the corn
crop at 2,4GO,0O0.0 bushels, or some
900 ,000,OO0 bushels lower than the east
ern calculators make it. Decreasing re-
ceipts, well sustained shipments, a fair
export business and certain trade manip-
ulations have given bullish sentiment
to the market of late.
Present indications are that the sever
large surplus corn states will raise 200,
100000 bushels more corn than they die
in 1904.
The bulk Of the oat crop Is in husk
and conservative estimates is that th'
yield will be somewhat similar to tha'
Of year ago, or se0,00O,0O0 bushels
There Is little interest in the old crop
the demand not being sufficient to sti
up bullish enthusiasm. 40
