the steamer Araguaya for Argentina, ac-
companied by five companions, to study
the subject of water supplies from arte-
sian sources for national Argentine rail
ways by the courtesy of the United States
government The party is delexated for
the service in response to the request OF
Ramos Mexia, the minister of public
works in Argentina.
The party consists, in addition to DR.

Maps to Be Made.
DR. Willis before sailing said:
The party will be joined by four Ar.
gentine experts. already engaged. We
will proceed direct to Buenos Aires, where
we will place ourselves under the direc.
ton of the minister of public works to
execute an investigation and make topo.
graphic and geological maps of different
districts i'll Argentina. Thirty years age
there were large areas in the western
United States in which then existed the
same conditions as regards population
and development as exist in the greater
part of Argentina now. 4 great develop
ment of these United States regions is an
illustration of what may be expected in
Argentina within the next ten or fifteen
years.
'The building of railways and the mi
grafton of population is going to follow
very rapidly, and Argentina will undoubt-
edly grow very fast. She has great re-
sources and there is great deal of
money to make IN developing them. The
United States fortunately has had the adj
vantage of scientific investigation and
survey in the development of the great
west, and we consequently have the COM
mand of resources which must otherwise
have lain dormant
