TWO TYPES IN PERU.

The Englishman who was rebuffed by
the native land owner and the American
promoter who sold the option on the
grass prospects carried on their opera
tons in the neighboring country OF Ecua-
dor but the moral would apply to Peru
There are wealthy Peruvians with great
interest in lands and mines which they
have inherited, who are able to lie back
and take things easy, and do not care
to get richer though their country would
benefit If they did. There are also for
eigners, not all Of whom are Americans
who think that the opening Of the canal
means that the buried treasure Of the In
cas- will be turned up and that there will
be a big commerce In taking the precious
metals or the solid bullion out OF the

y enterprising foreigner once came

projects as well as in trade. He was in
troduced to the owner of large hacienda,
or estate, who was living in primitive
surroundings Thirty or forty acres of
The estate may have been cleared and
under cultivation. The dialogue between
the foreigner and the native land owner,
according TO the West Coast tradition, ran
somewhat as follows
Senior Rico. why don't you borrow
money on this hacienda and put more OF
it under cultivation?'
Senior John Bull, what would ! do
when l had put more of my hacienda
under cultivation
"Why. then you could raise more money
and cultivate the rest of the hacienda.
And what would l do them
'Why. you could lie back and take
things easy
But. Senor John Bull, l lie back and
take things easy now"
And the native land owner 1T his Gig

The story is typical Of a certain proper
ton Of native land owners from Panama
down, who are content to take things
easy, without regard to other considera-
tions There is a different class, how

of whom are. foreigners. They have un-

WHAT PERU WILL ACCOMPLISH.

Not to dampen great expectations. but
to render them more reasonable It might
be we'll for the present to give some con-
slderation to the views of the pessimists.
But it would not be well to attach more
than passing significance to them. Peru
will get railway communication through
the Andes TO the Amazon and will open
up the forest and the river regions in the
present generation. She will also adopt
irrigation on a large scale, and the e1-
penslve railroads will be built which are
essential to further mineral development.
But all this Is not going to come within
the first twelve months after the canal
is opened.
The commerce which has to be ACCOM-
modated will centre largely in the port
of Callao, for this port Is the key TO the
bulk of the interior traffic. II is an
interesting geographical fact that when.

A PROMOTER IN SOUTH AMERICA.

A big American corporation engaged in
manufacturing agricultural machinery
was looking all over the world for hemp
so that il would not be dependent on the
existing sources Of supply for binder
twine. One of the officials asked an
American promoter who happened to be
in Chicago whether he knew anything
about certain kind Of grass that grew
down IN the region where the promoter
was building a railway. The latter re-
piled that he did, that II was in the dis
trict whore his company had a big land
concession. and that he would be willing

TO be business enough Of this kind TO
add appreciably to the Panama Canal
traffic.
Two currents Of opinion 9re In evidence
as to the future Of Peru. They are opti-
mistic and pessimlstic. II is curious TO
note, moreover, that there are Peruvian
optimists and foreign optimists. Euro
pean and American. I;1 that the pessi-
mists divide themselves into the same cat
Cgory
The native pessimists are usually in
comfortable circumstances and are well
satisfied with present conditions. They
explain that Peru is an old country, that
its mines have been exploited for four
centuries, and that while these are fairly
productive not much increase can be eX-
pected above the present output They
view the agricult Iral prospects through
the same blurred glasses. There is only
50 mitch land available for sugar. so
much for cotton and only so much wool
con be raised. They do not think that
modern irrigation methods can Gpproach

opening up Of the interior regions of the
Andes as wild dream Among this class
there is a tinge OF political sentiment,
Peru for the Peruvans,' although its
expression is half unconscious.

THE PESSiMlSTS.

The foreign pessimist, whether Euro
pcan or Ar erican. and usually with long
established connections, talks In a some
what different strain, but 10 tile same
end. Not bad country. he is apt to
say but its possibilities are limited. Chilli
took the nitrate beds as spolls OF war,
ard the guano was practically exhausted
years ago. The physical difficulties in the
way OF internal development-that is irri-
patlcn. road building and railway con-
struction-are such that according 10 this
view some such source OF wealth - the
nitrates or the guano is necessary In order
to furnish the country with capital. The
copper mines. the pessmists say. are
doing very well. but there is ALWAYS the
danger Of curtailed production through
low prices.
