 "AREQuIPA, Peru.
 March 20, 1912
 Dear Mr Love-I arrived at Nal lendo on March s, and left the same day for La PaZ, where l found the sudden change in climate was too much for me, so l had to return to Arequipa fer few days Arequipa is 172 kilometers inland from Nal lendo, and is 5000 feet above sea level and is situated at the foot of Mount Mistia, which has an elevation of l9,0O0 feet. From Arequipa to Puno. on Lake Titicaca, is 352 kilo- meters; across the lake tC Guaqui is 100 kilometers. From there to La Paz, in Bolivia, by rail is a distance of about 65 kilometers
 Il cant say that l like La Paz- it is built down in hollow, and surrounded on all sides by huge mountains. l simply could not breathe. went to the only Ameri- can doctor there. He assured me that l was in perfect health and said would be all right ill a few days. The doctor claims that all newcomers are affected the same way. Only fey days ago a man had to take special train to Mol lendo at cost of $l,2OO.
 While in La Paz I learned a great deal about the Tipanani river and must say that I am greatly dis appointed. l find the whole river covered with concessions and the owners very anxious to lease their ground to anyone who will work and give them 10 per cent of the gross.
 Il talked with a few old prospec- tors who have been on the river and they don't think much of it. am convinced now that the re- ports sent 10 the states were the work of the owners of the ground on this river. At the same time I think this is wonderful country. If people can stand the high alti- tude - that is the only thing that worries me. I am going to try it again in a few days, but may go into another district, where can cross the range at an altitude of 16.0OO feet. The range at La Paz is 1S.- 900 feet above sea level
 At the present time I would not advise anyone to come here. In the first place, don't believe that an American could content himself with their way of living. We called into nearly every port from Panama to Molendo and We surely did see some queer things. Lima, the capital of Peru, is quite big city, and next to Lima is Arequipa.
 When l write you again. hope to know something more of the in- terior country. If l can stand the climate I will not be back for two months. As ever

For Power Plant In Park.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-The senate

the bill introduced last session by
Senator Myers authorizing the Con-
rad Stanford Development company
to erect a power plant and develop

transmit this power to their mining
properties north of the park. Their
mines are located in the isolated re-

road and it 10 difficult to get fuel for
running their machinery, whereas,
by developing power at the site pro.
posed, they can have power cheap
and with facility. They proposed to
build their plant at q point not visi-
ted by tourists. There developed con-
siderable opposition to granting
privileges of this character within ma
tional parks for fear that once the
precedent is established there would
be q food of applications for similar
privileges. Finally the Myers bill
was referred to q subcommittee con-
sisting of Senators Newlands, Hay
burn and Dixon. But for the prece-
dent that wonld be established by
passing this bill, it probably would
be enacted without difficulty.

Talking Twenty.C Cent Wool.

"There has never been q time in re-
cent years when conditions were 80
favorable for the sheepman o get q
fair price for his wool as now,' de.
clared William Rea, Jr., of Billings
this morning. II will not sell a pound

to consider any less price," Mr.. Req
is q member OF Rea Bros, which ie
whitening 355, 600 head of sheep.
"Why do I say this?" continued Mr.,
Rea. "Becauce there is no wool in
the country. The raw stocks are de.
pleted and the mills have none on hand
and none is obtainable abroad. The
scarcity is unusual, but it exists, and
the buyers realize they must look tc
the west for the new supply. The ia
riff cuts no figure and will affect in nc
way the price of the 1912 wool clip,
The buyers may attempt to argue
that the tariff may be tempered with
and that for this reason the price OF
wool is uncertain. Ordinarily, this
might be a valid argument, but this
year it has no bearing because of the
actual shortage.

While he may have not pleased all
who appeared before him, for some
body has to lose in a lawsuit, he had
the respect of all attorneys, who we're
satisfied with his way Of doing things
regardless of who was who.
On his retirement from the bench in
1909, he resumed the active practice OF
the law and has made a success of it.
On the retirement of Judge Hunt be
