PRIMITIVE METHODS OF
TRANSPORTATION IN BOLIVIA
San Francisco Chronicle

Consul Mansfield, Valparaiso, Chile, announces that
the government of the latter country proposes to con-
struct a railway through the provinces of Tocna and Ari-
ca into Bolivia. The latter country is provided with poor
facilities for getting about, and the impression is strong
that if Chile's plans of constructing some 2,6O5 miles Of
road are carried out a great commercial revolution will
be effected. Regarding the present conditions, Mr..
Mansfield speaks as follows:
Road making in Bolivia. owing to the peculiar con
figuraton of the country, has many difficulties. The
most important roads have a total length of 2,297 kiome-
ters u426 miles,. In the loftiest parts of the Andes the
highways are little more than goat paths which have
been cut by the Indians for the traffic of their beasts
of burden. Among these mountain paths droves OF
mules, donkeys and lamas are continually going and
coming, carrying from the interior tropical fruit, cocia,
yungas, coffee, etc, and taking back from La Paz and
other towns along the routes flour, groceries, alcohol
etc. The internal trade carried on in this manner Will
be largely increased once the country is tapped with
railways.
The government buildings, called "postas,' at in
tervais along the way, form a peculiar feature of travel
by road in Bolivia. In these p%osthouses travellers are
provided, free of charge, with a place wherein to rest
and sleep, and, for a trifing charge, with food for them
selves and with forage for their animals. Here, too, trav-
elers can obtain relays of mules. The charge for these
realys is twenty cents per league (about three and one
half miles, per mule, and one real per league for the
Indians who go on foot, as many do, keeping ahead of
the mules, no matter at what pace the animals may ira
yel-eight, ten, and even twenty Bolivian leagues in a
day 0hirty-five to seventy miles)
1t is easy to, imagine the radical change that would
be wrought in a country where such primitive customs
prevail. Bolivia is a new country waiting to be opened
to the commerce of the world. Until twenty-five year ago
it resisted the introduction of an electric telegraph, but
now it is clamoring for railways and for more and more
telegraph wires. In exchange it offers some of the most
valuable, useful and necessary natural products to be
found on the globe, In the opinion of those who know it
best, Bolivia is one Of the most promising fields for in
vestment in industrial Development of the South Ameri-
can republics.

The Pueblo Noah's Ark

The. children of the Pueblo Indians have a Noahs
Ark Of their own, and some of the animals it contains
are very curious indeed-such animals, in fact, as civil.
lied young people are not acquainted with. Among them
are mountain goats, queer creatures of the cat tribe, and
prong horned antelopes. All of these animals are made
out of clay and baked like pottery, after which they are
painted in quite an artistic and lifelike fashion.
Like most other peoples, the Pueblo Indians have a
tradition of a great flood. The catastrophe occurred long
ago, when they lived in the ancient land of their fore
fathers. One day the earth began to shake and strange
rumblings grew louder and louder, until at length an op-
ening yawned in the middle of the central square of the
town. Out of the opening gushed a mighty stream of
water, overwhelming the houses and flooding the valley,
so that the inhabitants fled with their live stock to neigh
boring mountains.
Presently there rose out of the hole in the earth the
head of a gigantic turtle, which lowered to the very roof
Of the sky. Everybody was terror stricken, but the chief
man of the town-whose name ought to have been Noah
-plucked up the courage to ask the great reptile what
it wanted. The turtle replied that it was hungry and
that its appetite could be appeased only by the sacrifice
OF a young man and a young woman. There was nothing
to DO but obey, and so a handsome youth and beautiful
girl were delivered up to the turtle, which took them in
its mouth and sank with them through the hole. Imme
diately all Of the water flowed away, and in the place
where the reptile appeared there rose up a great black
rock, which, according to the myth, may be seen at this
day, t%estifying to the truth of the story.
Unfortunately the deuge left things in such a damp
apd uncomfortable condition, after destroying all Of the
houses and most Of the portable property, that the people
thought it wisest to so away. So they started on a jour
ney %northward, the whole tribe of them, and the crane
route. At length they came to the region which theil
descendants now inhabit, and which is so extremely dry
that the water supply Is always a subject Of anxiety
