type may be seen at a glance and
the relative position Of the various
types conveniently noted. Every
square mile, and where necessary,
every field, is examined to a depth
Of three feet, by means of a soil

GETS
GOOD APPOINTMENT

Washington, March 2o.-The selec-
ton of VIM. /. Buchanan. formerly of
Sioux City, as read of the United
States committee IN Panaman rela-
tions, is regarded as the highest honor
yet paid the Iowan. who long has been
known as the most popular diplomat
who ever served in South America.
1t Is likely the selection will be
followed by the establishment of n
permanent bureau here in charge of
MIR. Buchanan to promote closer rela-
tons among the countries OF the three
Americas.
An international railroad north and
south through South America, financed
by the government and to connect with
the Mexican and United States sys-
tens is part OF the gigantic scheme
Secretary Root wants promoted. He al
SO favors International subsidies for
steamship ines between North and
South American points.
Mr.. Buchanan will become the chief
promoter under Secretary Root who
really selected him for the head of
the commission OF these big enter
prises and others designed to bring
closer union OF all American interests.
