has been taking i vacation of two or
three months. and has just returned
from gold prospecting tour in the re-
gions of the Madre de Dios one of the
high tributaries of the Amazon The
Madre de Dios rises on the other side
of the great mountain wall that skirts
the northern side of Lake Titicaca. K
flows in a winding course into the BENZ,
and on into the Mamore and Madeira,
coming out through the latter stream
into the Amazon below the city of
Manaos. The region where it rises is
wild. and much of that through which
ii flows is known only to the Indians
Mr.. Avant travelled on foot down this
river. He started out from Cuzco. at an
altitude of over two miles above sea
level, with guide an interpreter and
eight Indians. and he descended to re-
gions that are less than a half mile
above the sea. The mountains he cross
ed were more than 10000 feet high. and
his way led from the glaciers and per-
petual snow down into tropical Jungle,
trees and rubber.
AS We sat in the rude hotel here at
Guaqui this morning Mr.. Avant told me
something of the animal life of that
region. He says that the country
swarms with game The woods are full
of wild turkeys, that look like peacocks,
each bird having topknot and very
bright plumage. The flesh is excellent,
and it tastes like our wild turkey An
other bird of the same species is called
the pabogil. This is twice as big as the
largest American turkey. and its flesh
tastes about the same.
asked as to wild beasts, and Mr..
Avant replied that he saw droves of
peccaries. or wild hogs. and also tapirs
and jaguars. The jaguars came around

largely foreign born, a condition which

of whom we had Il large proportion in
the army of occupation. of course, We're
chiefly American. You should bear in
mind that it was a small. army that we
had. When 1 entered the service, for
example, the regular army establishment
numbered only 5000 men. We raised
that for the war to 10000. exclusive of
volunteers. And Scott, you must re-
member. never had more than 10000 men
with him in Mexico.
Frankly speaking. the chief sport of
the men in the army of occupation was
gambling. The Mexican law pi divided for
licensed gambling games, and Gen.
Scott very wisely continued this in
force. Our men took great interest In
that historic game, faro. and the Mexi-

that was needed to make us comfortable,
including an excellent English brewery
nearby. The cost of living was extreme
ly low. / recall that my mess bill one
month was only $13.
Under Gen Scott the City of Mexico
and all of the cities occupied by tne
American troops were peaceful. prosper

was safer then in the streets of the CITY
of Mexico than he is in the streets OF
New York today. The Mexican people
in those cities were well pleased with
the conditions as they existed, and they
had good reason to be.
ITO leap ahead, heard something some
time later in this regard that very prob
ably was true. 1t was during the conven-
ton which nominated Gen Scott for
President of the United States. and which
1 attended. Mr.. Dayton, afterward can
didate for Vice President. in presenting
Gen. SCOTS name asserted that the peo-
pie of the City of Mexico had offered
Gen. Scott a purse of $1,25O.OO If he
would remain at the head of their gov
eminent after the withdrawal of the
American troops. The offer, of course
was declined.
when Gen Scott took possession of
the City of Mexico he organized mu-
nicipal police force from among his
troops, with one of his officers, Charles
f. Smith, in command. The force was
made up of several companies Of picked
men who did admirable work.
while the occupied cities, as ! have
said were peaceful and contented under
American rule, there were in the rural
regions sporadic outbreaks by bandits
and guerrillas, WHO also at times attacked
American columns of troops the

the boys at home used to play town

wire carrying $500 volts. Later,
however. the gratifying news was re-

Byrd was in the act of handling a
transformer when in some manner
he came in contact with the wire. the
entire voltage passing through him
in the region of the heart. While
the shock was a severe one. the gen
tleman was able to descend the pole
unaided and walked to the hotel,
when he became unconscious. and IL
was thought for a time that life was
extinct. BY the aid Of the pulmotor

'ric' court at Shoshone which was de-
cided In his favor.
"A visit TO the possessions of the
company was most delightful ex
periehce to Mr.. Mosley as he ex-
pressed himself as most highly pleas
ed with the work that had thus far
been done under the supervision of
Mr.. L. M. Whitehead. They have
now 100 acres in trees which the Wis
itor pronounces as fine as he has
seen anywhere, and this is saving
good deal as Mr. Mosley has been
over most all of the irrigated tracts
in the northwest.
This spring Mr.. Whitehead mt
l6o acres into red clover, most of
when was put in with nurse crop
oil oats, from which he has secured a
suhicient yield to probably repay him
ior the expense of putting in the
crop. On 80 acres of clover which
was sown in May he has cut a good
yield of hay and has Just finished
cutting the seed crop which prom
ises good return.
Mr.. Mosley is enthusiastic over tho
general conditions here and feels
That they have greatly improved
