Indian, the former largely descended
from the sturdy Basques, that remark
able race of the Pyrenees, who in their
moral qualities, language, manners and
institutions have always been a very
unique people and quite unlike all other
Spaniards. The Chilean of to-day is,
as before remarked, largely the de-
scendant of Spaniards, and it is this ele-
ment which dominates the country and
has remained distinct, unaffected by the
foreign wave which has swept over it.
There has been far less intermingling
of the Spaniards with the natives than
in any of the other Spanish-American
countries. The Spaniards who settled
the country, sent home for their wives,
and they have kept their blood pure
from intermingling in all til hundreds
of years that they have occupied the
country. Therefore, the dominant ele-
ment in Chile is almost pure Spanish,
and retains many of the characteristics
and qualities which make up the best
of Spanish character. They have been
unaffected by the changes and altera-
tons in the mother country, and much
of the old medieval spirit which made
Spain the leading country in~the world
characterzes them to-day. They are
essentially governing race, and rule
with a strong, firm hand.
4 large proportion of the native pop
ulatiOn are farmers, the Nyell-watered
central valley lending itself naturally to
agriculture, where, however, the best
lands have been held by the all-power-
furC Church, and the few rich Chileans
who own great stretches of lands have
been unwilling to part with them.
Trade is in the hands of the Germans
and English, and right here the Minis
ter informed the representative of The
National Tribune that the popular no.
ton that the English were not liked by
the Chileans was absolutely false The
Germans have settled in the south,
where they have built up several towns.
The German immigration, however is
not extensive.
The Nitrate Fields.
In speaking of the great source of
wealth furnished by the nitrate fields
of the north, the Minister read the re-
port of Consul Alfred A. Wilson, which
gave some astounding figures. Mr.. VIII
son stntes that from 1880 to 1907 the
nitrate fields of Peru and Chile have
produced 36.443,327 tons of nitrate, val
ued at $1,112.72S,765 two-fifths of this
amount being produced during the last
| 10 years. The yearly production is
about 100000 tons, and even with
double this production the fields arc
good for 800 years. Fully one-half the
production has been net profit but a
new process has been invented that will
do for the nitrate business what the
cyanide process did for the gold pro.
duction. Heretofore from nine to 10 PEI

Is Threatened II Higher
Transportation Rates
Are Charged on Cream and
Mik---Threat 10 Stop
Business Made by Manufacturers
Of the Country.

Chicago, June S.-Sixteen of the
largest manufacturers of butter in the
United states will open their fight
against the proposed advance in freight
rates on cream and milk before the
Interstate Commerce Commission next
Wednesday. The average increase in
tariff is 66 2-3 to Is per cent. A butter
famine is promised should their fight
fail Commissioners Prouty and Har-
Ian will hear the testimony and argu-
ments The railroads will contest the
claims of the butter makers, declaring
that the new schedule is only fair.
The manufacturers represent plants
worth s100GO,OOO. They annually put
out $1,000. 600 pounds of butter, more
than onc-quarter of the total prOduc-
ton of the United States; pay the
farmers of the Mississippi valley states
$4,000, 900 a year for cream and eXpend
more than $1,500000 a year on railroad
freight rates.
In their plea to Judge kohlsaat of
, Chicago, these butter makers invoked
the aid Of the court to restrain the
common carriers from putting into ef-
feet a new schedule of tariffs that 1t
was asserted would be excessive. UNI
just and almost confiscatOry, and the
restraining order, the first of its kind
ever issued by federal court. has
served as q staying order ever since.
Should the butter manufacturers fail
in their recourse to the Interstate
Commerce Commission to prevent the
establishment of the new tariffs. they
say they see no alternative other than
to stop business. The margin of proflt,
they say, is less than onc-half cent
per pound net. A disturbance Of the
rates that have been in effect for 10
years, it is alleged, not only will i'm
peril the millions invested in creamery
plants and cream receiving stations in
Kansas Nebraska. Missouri, Iowa,
Illinois. South Dakota, Wisconsin, In
diana and other states, but would cause
an actual loss to them of more than
81 900 annually.
