VAST INDUSTRY IN URUGUAY
Millions Of Pounds OF Jerked Beef Are
Exported From South American
Country Annually.

Something over hundred years ago
the hacendados (ranchmen) Of Uru-
quay complained to the government
that over 100000 head of cattle were
being killed annually for their hides
alone. The carcasses we're thrown to
the dogs, or left on the rolling pampas
for the vultures to devour. Beef in
Uruguay was so plentiful that 1t was
something Of nuisance evidently. OF
course that day has passed. but they
still have cattle enough down there
to convert some 100000 head into 49,
0OO, 900 pounds of jerked beef in one
year, most OF which Is sold in Brazil.
Cuba, Porto Rico, and other tropical
countries. Perhaps but few people
know that the first great factory for
the production of beef extract known
to the world was established at Fray
Bentos, a little city on the Uruguay
river about 100 miles above Buenos
Aires, the cosmopolitan capital Of Ar
gentina, and that it is still operating.
Fray Bentos has been called the great
est kitchen in the world. On some
days $500 head of cattle are slaugh-
tered, then treated so as to get the
finest meat from them, the bones and
ribs, the intestines, tails, sinews, hoofs.

Coming back up the reservoir, one
will find a scene probably without its
equal in Idaho-a clear water sky line.
just as it is on the ocean a thousand
miles from land. Looking down the
reservoir. toward the open place be-
tween the hills, the natural curvature
of the earth is sufficient to hid from
view the dam itself, which is only IA
feet above the level of the great lake;
and so, one looks across the surface of
the water, against a true water-li line.
The big lakes of the north are much
larger, but they are hemmed in by
mountains and forests, so there is no
true water horizon. Bear lake also, is
in the same way, so that there
is a background of land all around it.
But on the Magic reservoir looking
south from the upper end, the water
and the sky meeting an indistinguish-
able line-a strange, weird sensation
