There is tract of pub lie land containing 5000 acres. which is dividef into six model farms, and to one or these is sent the poor per son applying for public relief. If he voluntarily serves until he learns az. riculture he is allowed to rent a small farm for himself and be what Is called a free farmer.

Hotels and Food In Argentina.

There is an abundance of hotels and pensions in Buenos Ayres and. al though some of these are exceedingly
 dear good accommodations can be had for about the same prices as in
 larger American cities. While the food, in general. cannot be called bad, the heating facilities of the hotels are miserable. This Is all the more to be lamented as the winter months, June to September. are quite cold here. The so-called steam heat of the larger hotels, which, by the way, is in stalled only in the corridors, Is noth- ing more than a farce. and the small kerosene stoves which one may or der for his room against good extra pay are insufficient to counteract the cold drafts from doors and windows From a Buenos Ayres Letter to the Chicago Daily.

their master and will come when
called. They have not the endur
ance of the American OK and cannot
work in the hot, tropical sunshine
for more than an hour at time; but
must have frequent recess in order
to wallow or battle. The carabou
in feeding finds many choice foods
on the bottom Of lake, pond or la
COON. They are frequently accom-
panied during their submarine re-
pasts by small black birds who fear
lessly perch upon the animals back
and feed upon the vermin that in
tests his back, head and ears. The
buffalo appreciates his little feath-
cred friends and they are frequently
seen to open wide their jaws and al
low the little birds to pick their
teeth
The value Of the animal varies &C
cording- to locality. In the agricul-
tural districts where hemp is the
chief product and very little blowing
is necessary, the price Of we'll train
ed buffalo is about $40, but in the
rice growing provinces of Luzon, or
on the southern sugar producing
islands, $35 would be considered a
low price. Buffalo meat is much rel
ished by the natives. The flesh is
cut into long strips, dried in the sun
and called by the Tagalogs 'tapa."
The flesh of the carabou calf Is of a
delicate pink color, very tender and
when nicely broiled has a rich,
gamey flavor and is delicious Buff
falo milk is used universally by the
natives and also by the Americans,
for domestic COWS in the islands are
few and far apart For this reason
the American Government has sub
stituted young buffaloes for COWS in
obtaining vaccine virus, and they an
swer the purpose very we'll.
1t takes native or brown or
black skinned person to handle a
carabou. They are absolutely un-
gOvernable in the hands of an Amer
lean or European. The United States
negro soldiers get along with them
famously, but let any human being
with white skin surrounded by a
kahki uniform attempt to ride or
drive one and trouble commences
Immediately. The animals temper
is the most uncertain thing in the
world. Should he happen to be a
trif1e cross the sight of white face
has about the same effect upon him
as red rag has upon bull. When
a soldier encounters an angry cara
bou he must look sharp and dodge
lively or he will come to grief.
My first experience with an en-
ragged buffalo happened in Para
naque, a suburban town in Manila
Bay, about four miles from the city,
where | was stationed with two COM
panies of infantry.
Every Philippine town has it's
massive stone church, surrounded by
an equally strong, heavy wall. The
churches are always occupied by the
American forces, as they are most
always located in the center of the

doubt very much if the natives ever
saw piece of bread before the
Americans took possession of the is
lands.
Another important factor in the
natives family life is the carabou,
or better known among students of
natural history as the water buffalo.
They are the Philippine beast of bur-
den and are indispensable to the ma
tives who could hardly get along
without them. They are huge
beasts, about the size of the Ameri-
can Durham bull, but are larger in
circumference and will probably
weigh more.
They are easily domesticated,
quick to learn, slow in motion, that
is when not angry, and very willing
workers, provided they are permitted
to immense themselves in water or
mud whenever they SO desire, which
is often. The carabou has thick
and exceedingly tough skin like the
hog, and the hair, which is scanty, is
of a deep red color and closely re-
sembles the stiff, coarse bristles as
seen on the average American pork
er. They are also like the pig in
their fondness of wallowing, and If
this privilege is denied them they
become ravng crazy and are exceed
ingly dangerous. For this reason
the drivers frequently stop, especial
ly during the extremely hot portion
of the day, and releasing the animal
from the load it is either carrying or
drawing, allowing it to indulge in
it's favorite pastime. / say the ma
tive allows him to battle, for we'll
be knows that Mr. Carabou will have
his bath anyhow utterly regardless
of the drivers wishes in the matter.
When the buffalo manifests a de-
sire to battle or wallow the driver
makes all haste to free him of his
load, for when the carabou wants to
get into the water no earthly power,
save instant death, will prevent him
from so doing.
On one occasion ! saw buffalo
that was drawing two-wheeler cart,
laden with an upright piano, dash
madly into a Shiny lagoon, where
upon the cart, its load and the ami
NAL disappeared from view.
In about two minutes the cara
bou's long, broad horns and the tip
of his nose appeared above the scum
of the stagnant surface, and there
he remained motionless for fully 30
minutes.
The driver at last succeeded in
getting a long, stout rope around his
horns, and with the aid of two other
huffaloes harnessed or rather yoked
to the shore end, finally persuaded
him to come back to terra firma,
dragging the cart and it's contents be-
hind him.
The piano, the property Of some
proud, rich and aristocratic Tagalog
belle, living in the interior of Luzon,
was a ruin.
In riding this animal one has to
get used to the peculiar stride and

HARD SHEDDING FOR
NEW STOCK EXCHANGE

ord, who was hustling mining news III
this city for many years previous to his
becoming the publisher of PiOche's live
paper, does not expect to see the new
mining exchange being organized here
cut much ice He refers to it in this fash
ion i'm the last issue of the Record:
Salt Lake is to have another mining
stock exchange which is to be launched
under the title of the Utah Stock q Min
ing exchange. 1t is said the new organi-
cation starts out with good cash balance

fidence it had In the undertaking and 1t

zone of the reasons advanced for the
existence of a new exchange IS the TACT
that the membership in the older body IS
limited to seventy persons and that these
memberships have been bought up and
held at such high prices that anyone hav-
ing a burning desire TO become a full

fortune at his disposal TO begin with. An
other reason advanced is that there is
danger Of changing the financial center OF
the city to about two blocks further south,
unless something is done to head It off.

quarters on what is known as Exchange

ANNUAL MEETING OF
BEAVER COPPER COMPANY

At the annual meeting Of the Beaver
Copper company, held yesterday after
noon, officers and directors to serve for
the next twelve months were elected as
follows: A. d. Moffat, president; A. J.
BEETLES, first vice president; A. ]. McMul-
len, second vice president; A. D. McMul-
len, secretary and treasurer; these with
James H. Paterson, H. P. Clark and W.
J. Barrette, constituting the board.
Negotiations involving the complete
financing OF this proposition are under
stood to be well under way and the ex-
pectation is that within a short time
campaign can be opened at the property
of the company in Beaver county that
will result in the speedy making of 8 big
mine. There is a splendid mineral show
ing in the ground owned by the company
and enough work has already been done
to illustrate its value and justify its
equipment with a full complement of ma
chinery, buildings, etc. In a new shaft
that was started last fall ore was eneoun-
tered that carried Ill ounces silver and
So per cent copper per ton. With sJch
q showing the company proposes to go
right on down with that shaft until SUI
flcient depth has been attained to run out
levels and open up STOPPING ground. II
is expected that a start will be made early
in the coming month.
