Peat Briquettes Used
For Mexico Fuel.

Word comes from the City of
Mexico that an American company
has undertaken the manufacture of
briquettes from peat. The increasing
difficulty of supplying the capital
city of the republic with wood from
neighboring forests whence its fuel
has come since the days of Cortez,
has led to this project of utilizing
deposits of peat which have long
been known to exist in the vicinity.
Eighty years ago humboldt describ-
ed magnificent forests within reach of
the City of Mexico. Today the
region supports only second growth
of little value. The change has been
brought about by wood cutters and
charcoal burners who have stripped
the land and left it to reforest itself
If it could, or to relapsex into waste.
Thusaneglected, the land could not
grow timber to meet the demands
upon it, and the woodcutters have
little OF nothing near to cut.
Fortunately large bogs of peat are
within reach. 1t has never been
much used for fuel because the
MeXicans never took pains TO learn
how to burn it. The company which
has undertaken to manufacture the
bog fuel into briquettes has made
large investments in land and
machinery.

300, 900 acres Of fine land, valued at
$40 an acre in the Rio Grande valley.

one of the most beautiful cities of the
world-often called the "Venice of the
North" The coast of Norway abounds
with natural wonders which attract
thousands of travellers every year. 1t
is characteristic Of this coast that long
arms of the sea, called "Fjords," wind
inland through canyons and gorges for
many miles. They are bordered by
gigantic, gloomy, rugged and often per-
pendicular cliffs, which approach each
other at times so closely that the
spray from their countless cascades
and fOaming streams may be blown
over the decks Of the steamers as they
glide along their base, and when the
mists hang heavy and obscure the tops
of the cliffs the waterfalls seem to
pour forth out Of the sky; and of these
I shall mention few. The Hardanger
Fjord with it's various branches and
ramificationS is one of the most i'm
portant fjords of Norway, and is per-
haps the best known by tourists; it's
charms of fertile slopes covered with
orchards interspersed with bright farm
houses and cottages surmOunted by
mountain ranges with extensive table
lands and snow-clad peaks, which are
reflected in the deep waters of the
ford, form such novel and pleasing
scene and such contrast to the awe
inspiring ruggedness of other great
fjords, that it becomes at once noted
as one of the favorite points of inter
est in this most interesting land.
After passing through this main ford
the steamer turns into the Sorfjord,
running southerly about 80 miles, and
the characteristic Norwegian ford
scenery is presented in full measure.
On the mountains to the right Is the
immense glacier Folgefonden, which
extends it's masses Of glittering ice
into the valleys below and numerous
waterfalls and torrents descend on
either side into the ford, wherein we
ride, varying in width from few hun
dred yards to a couple Of miles.
Another favorite ford is the "Nae-
rodel"; it is magnificent mountain
gorge extending inland and upward
from the equally sublime "Naerofjord."
At the extremity of most fjords the
grooved formation of the coast contin-
ues toward the interior and no doubt
the sea once extended much farther
inland than it does now And doubt
less ages ago the Naerodal once con-
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1908-06-15

tanned water and ships could have
sailed through where travellers now
drive.
Near the entrance to the Naerodal
valley is the picturesque waterfall of
Kilsfoss, over 1000 feet in height. At
certain seasons it is formed of three
separate streams; at other seasons 1t
consists Of two. and at high water
season it falls in one foaming sheet
and forms most inspiring scene.
The Sognefjord is perhaps the larg-
est and grandest of the fjords, the
average breadth being from two to four
miles, while its length is about "a

miles. The water is very deep, and
there are many branch fjords extend
ing north and south, as we'll as deep
bays and coves. The route to Sogne-
ford is among so many islands as
sometimes to give the effect of navi-
eating a river. The channel is often
narrow and tortuous, occasionally the
way appears completely land locked,
but as the steamer proceeds new open

say the whole effect is awe inspiring
and grand, one never to be forgotten.
1t is a place of great sublimity; on

tous mountains with no vegetation on
their sides, but instead down through

requested brief outline OF my pro
posed trip.
We left Seattle, May goth, arriving IN
Minneapolis on time; there we joined
the excursion party of scandinavian
American line and proceeded in tour
list sleeping cars, reserved for the par
ty. to Niagara Falls, where we stopped
to vie wthe great water fall noted the
world over as one of the most inspir
ing sights on the continent. From
there we went to New York and en-
ioyed the sights of that marvellous
city. This morning we boarded the
staunch steamship &C. F. Teitger" and
were assigned to our rooms previously
secured for us through the good offices
of the Chilberg Agency. Thus fal
our party are greatly pleased with the
treatment accorded us and the occom
modations furnished.
We shall sail at noon today direct
from New York for Christiania, where
our party will separate and start fol
their several home points to enjoy the
usual celebrations which our people
enjoy during the months of June and
July.

Scandinavia is a country of remark

prediction that some day tourists will
go there in as great numbers as they
now do to Switzerland. Indeed, com
pairing the trouble and expense Of the

is in favor of Scandinavia. AS the
Chilberg Agency will gladly inform
upon request, the cost Of such trip
is comparatively small and the accom-
modations very good, and the close
connections and means of travel make
1t most agreeable and comfortable
pleasure trip with as fine mountain
and water scenery as can be found in
any part of the world.
The rugged grandeur of this historic
country has been told in verse and
song and it i'll becomes me to attempt
