over ESQ miles in extent. over which
all supplies had to be TRANSPORTED,
for the most part, on the backs OF
horses and mules, the commissary
wagons being rendered useless by the
terrible mud which follows the es-
cape of frost from the soil in that re-
gion.
AS might be expected, the greatest
difficulties were encountered beyond
the Arctic circle. Following the
rough scaling of the southern por-
ton of the survey the joint expedi-
tions established their base at Ram
part House, an ancient Hudson bay
station, on the Porcupine, from
whence several dashes were made
before the Arctic ocean was finally
reached.
When the steamers landed the to-
pographers and their equipment at
Rampant House the native Indians
were amazed at the drove of what
they first took to be huge dogs, but
later decided must be variety of
hornless caribou. Inquiry developed
the fact that they had never before
seen or heard Of the horse.
Almost at the water line of the
Arctic ocean one of the larger of the

the international division. The final
lap required to place it there was
over a region fairly bristling with
natural difficulties although only
about 100 miles across. The course
led over the treacherous lakes and
swamps of the Old Crow country,
over the American mountains, the
Davidson and British ranges, thence
down the long slope to the coast. On
this dash wild animals raided the
caches and menaced the surveyors;
ravenous mosquitoes settled upon
them in hordes day and night;
phantom lakes, mountains and cities
lured and confused them, and over
all blazed the summer sun of the
Arctics, "a hours each day.
The farthest north monument was
placed in October, two years ago.
Since then the line has been travers-
ed several times for the purpose of
closing up the different divisions, and
the work is not yet complete. Each
year a large force of men will be
employed during the open season to
brush out the avenue and keep the
monuments in repair.

Dame Vera Cruz, the first port OF
the Mexican republic and the first
American capture, holds many pict-
uresque sights and recalls many stir
ring events in the past. The city,
which is one of the oldest, quaintest,
and most cosmopolitan of the MeXi-
can coast towns, with population OF
5000, was one of the first places to
be settled by the Spanish invaders
and the scene of battles ancient and
modern. Today it presents curious
blend of both periOds-fine new
buildings standing side by side with
diminutive negro cabins, and certain
parts OF the city resembling Old
Spain transplanted to the new world.
The city epitomizes the whole OF
Mexican history. Here the Spaniards
planted their first 'stockade, fought
their first battle with the natives,
and established their base of sup
plies while they attacked the great
stronghold OIL the AzlecS' Anu 1IoAi
it they sent back their fleet laden
with gold, wrested from the dying
indians. For three centuries it was
the main port of New Spain, and
when the Mexicans threw off the
Spanish yoke the last flag of Spain
was hauled down from the fortress
of San Juan de Ulua in the bay of
Vera Cruz, one mile from the main
land.
The bay and harbor, formed by
the coast and the Gallega roof, are
difficult of entrance to ships, because
of the many close small reefs. The
harbor has an area of $50 acres and
an average depth of only 30 feet.
The mouth, Sc feet wide, is protected

WHAT VERA CRUZ IS LIKE
Captured City is Picturesque Epitome OF All Mexican
History. Has Known Fighting Since Spanards Came

/ bv a lighthouse. Formerly ships
were obliged to put to sea for safety
in blow. Recently more than $780,
| OOO.0 has been spent to make the
harbor safe with breakwaters and
sea wall, with artificial blocks
weighing more than 80 tons each.
The harbor is full of man-eating
sharks
/ There are four railways in Vera
Cruz-the Mexican Railway, the In
teroceanic Railway, the Vera Cruz
and Isthmus Railway and the Vera
Cruz Limited.
Through Vera Cruz pass most of
the exports and imports of Southern
and Central Mexico, nearly one
fourth of the country's total imports,
entailing a customs collection of over
100000 a month. Ships of all ma
tions lie in its harbor.
The Avenida de la Independence,
which leads from the Mexican rail
way station, is the main thorough
fare. and on it are the best shops,
quaint houses with painted wooden
balconies and huge old-fashioned
doors. The city's gathering place,
however, especially in the evening,
while the bands play and the popu-
lace disports itself, is the Plaza de
la Constitution surrounded by SEN
tinel palms.
There is a great covered market in
an open square, where on Sunday
mornings Vera Cruz housewives,
ranging from stalwart negresses and
olive-skinned Vera Cruzans and
darker Indians to creoles and cream
white Spanish senoras, congregate
and buy provisions at shops and
stalls, many of them primitive struct-
ures protected from the sun by
squares of mating on posts. Swarthy
vendors squat beneath these, with
here and there a babe strapped to
mothers back, and beside them their
wares -pomegranates, shaddocks, al
ligator pears, pineapples, orange
seeds, cheap German mirrors, metal
combs, peppers and sizzling meats
and hot native dishes. Here and
there are impromptu cock pits, as
miniature theatres; and almost ey-
erywhere are chickens, plucked and
unplucked, dead and alive.
The climate of Vera Cruz is moist
and at some seasons almost unbeara-
bly, hot, ranging from So degrees in
April and May to 1872 degrees in late
May. June and July. There are fire.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
TIDE OF IMMIGRATION AMONG
LAND SEEKERS IS THIS WAY.
Governor Sheldon of Nebraska Says
South Offers Great Opportunity.
Lands Do Not Bring Value.

ST. LOUIS.-Ex-Gover Sheldon
of Nebraska says the tide of immi-
grafton on the part of hungry land
seekers is surely turning from the
West and North and that The next
ten years will see the Southern states
receive the full attention of land
buyers. The governor" as he is
called generally, left Nebraska five
years ago and purchased 4,000-acre
plantation near Wayside, Miss,
where he is growing cattle and feed
and cotton. He is here attending to
the sale of a load of hogs raised on
| his plantation.
THE southern Mississippi valley
and southeastern states" said the
governor, '!have not as yet begun
their true development along agri-
cultural lines. There is not an acre
of land in Mississippi, Alabama, Lou
isiana, Arkansas, Georgia, Florida
and Tennessee that is selling at a
price equal to it's intrinsic value,
while in the corn belt a large pro-
portion of the farm lands are selling
for more than their real worth, based
on productive ability.
'The southeastern states today, in
my opinion, offer the greatest oppor-
tunity for live, up to date farmers
to settle that you can find anywhere
in the country. We have unrivaled
natural grasses for patturing cattle.
Our Bermuda, lespedeza and white
clover grow luxuriously and will
alone fatten cattle for fall markets.
We can run our stock on grass for
practically ten months of the year,
and need but little feed the other
two. There is a world of splendid
land available in these Southern
states at S. to SIS an acre that is
ideally adapted to cattle and to the
production of grain and forage
crops"

CENSUS OF CATHOLICS
ARE SIXTEEN MILLION OF THEM
IN THE UNITED STATES.
Catholic Directory Gives Out Inter-
esting Figures Showing Their
Siren 9th in This Country.

There are 16,O67,9S5 Catholics in
the United States proper, according
to advance copies of the 1914 edition
| of the Official Catholic Directory.
Tue new volume shows that there
was an increase of 913,S27 Catholics
during 1918. This increase of nearly
a million souls, according to the d.
rectory editor, is accounted for prin-
cipally by the complete reports of the
Ruthenian- Greek Catholics. For the
first time all the Ruthenian Catholics
are included in the directory census.
According to Joseph H. Mier, the
directory editor, who has been COM
piling the population figures for ten
| years, the total-16, 067, 9S5-is
/ conservative figure. According to
Mr.. Mier at least ten per cent should
be added for floating population,
as no record is kept of the Floating
population among Catholics.
There are 1865 Catholic priests
in the United States, an increase of
| 623 for the year. There are 14,951
Catholic churches, an increase of 339
| over last years figures. According
to the same publication there are in
the United States so seminaries, ~
O62 seminarians, 23O colleges for
boys, $50 academies for girls, and
,4O3 parochial scools. In the 5,4O3
parochial schools there are 1,42S,-
$50 pupils.
1t also appears that there are "a
224,6O9 Catholics, including Alaska,
the Canal Zone, Guam, the Hawaiian
Islands, Porto Rico and the Philip
pines
The twelve states having the larg-
est number of Catholics are as fol-
lows New York, 2,884,723; Penn
