a dista uce OF five miles away. The car

driver makes the animal go on the gal

by magnificent scenery. 1t lies on a
plain at the foot of the mountains, slop-

These are fed by branch of the Ma

and swift that 1t not only irrigaaes the
1000 acres of plants, but also furnishes
the electric current that runs all The ma

bine that gives the estate 100 horse power.

buildings, it runs sawmills and trdshers

carries us back to our farms at home.
The grain is coming in from the fields in
enormous ox-carts, and 1t is fed directly
from the carts to the thrasher. As the
barley pours forth it is caught in buck
cts made of skin holding bushel or
more and carried by men to a great pile
on the ground.
We next walk to the sawrnin nearby,
where the men are making lumber out
of some of the trees that Don Salvador
has planted within the past 20 years.
The soil and climate mere are such that
trees will grow twice as fast as In our
country. There are eucalyptus hun
dred feet high that are not over Ia
years of age, and palms as big around
as q hogshead that have been planted
within the last generation. The big
trees on this estate are numbered by
the hundreds of thousands. and they
have all been planted since 1854 when
was the time when Don Salvador began
10 turn his ancestors grain and dairy
farm into nursery. Some of these
trees are raised solely for wool and
there are little forests Of eucalyptus
containing thousands of individual
trees that are being gro Wn for this
purpose. Some of these trees are only a
year or so- old, while otheNs are from
IS to 100 feet high.
Around the large fields making IN
the plantation are rows of Lombardy
poplars 100 feet high. These are the
fences of the estate. and they make
walls of green of wonderful beauty.
They often follow the irrigation ditch

The rows of poplars are often loo

only 16 years old. The custom OF us

factories have been closing wholesale. In
one day, few weeks ago, two of them
in this neighborhood smut up, throwing
over 500 women out. AS a result the dis
tress is terrible The next thing was to
discover something that all the women
could do, and upon consulting with the
off Gals of the labor exchanges here we
found that the women all seemed to be
able to knit, so this decided what kind
of a factory we should have to establish.
Then we interviewed the mayor of
Islington, who expressed keen appre-
citation of what we wanted to do and,
as a beginning placed small build
ing in the Caledonian road, the former
headquarters of political club, at our
disposal, and there we began with nina
women on September 20 and remained
for four weeks until, once more through
the influence of the mayor, this fine
big place, which formerly was the head
quarters of the Young Women's Chris

the Diapers company of London, was
handed over to us by that organization

Don Salvador lives during part of
some idea of the possibilities of Chile
as winter fruit market for the United
STAKES. He replied:
There is no doubt that one of our
chlef industries for the future is to be
IN IA sing fruit for the north. We shall
soon be able to land fruit in New York
In IA days after the ships leave VAL
paraiso, and with proper fruit steamers
we can send such varieties as will bring
the highest prices at time when there
Is no other fruit to compete with them.
At present you get some winter fruits
from Australia and Cape Colony, but they
are z6 days or more from New York, and
you have to pay freight upon them that
Is several times as much as the freight
from Chile would cost. Tasmania and
New Zealand have TO pay from Slips to
S.50 freight on a box of so pounds on
a bushel to the United States If we
could ship our fruit at half that price
We would have an advantage of rs cents
per bushel. We expect 20 do a great
deal better than that.
THE difference in distance would be
difference of thousands of miles. The
Tasmanians, for instance, are now ship
ping fruit to Europe They sold a mil
lion boxes of apples there last year, and
received therefrom something like So 0oo,-
600. Chile can raise as good apples as
any part of the world, and we shah send
our fruit north through the canal to
Europe as we'll. 1t is said that we ought
to be able to ship apples there at q
freight rate OF 80 of>60 cents. DON or
from si2 to $14 a tom
Mention some kinds of fruit that Chile
could send us and the months when we
could receive them said /.
Our fruit season lasts from November
until May During those months we
could give you tho best of fresh fruits.
Here are some of them We could fur
fish green almonds from December to
June and ripe chestnuts in March and
April. Green almonds are a delcacy
which you do not have in America, but
they bring enormous prices in France.

We could supply you with peaches during

wnen the ground is covered with

expect from Chile now that the
Panama canal is completed and
the war demand for American goods Is
turning our shipping that way. The
vessels carrying our wares to Pacific

turn freights, and the prospect Is that
in the near future MANY of them viii

on this side of the equator are The OPP

Chileans have plums. peaches and pears
ready for the market in the midst of
our winter.
From now on Valparaiso viii be
within two weeks of New York, and
the canal has placed a South Amer
lean California, with its summer prod
tets, almost at our doors. The pros
pect of great expectation of Chilean
fruits to the United States is ag1tatinS
the farmers. The government is inves-
tigating the subject and schools for
teaching fruit growing and the pack
ing and expectation of fruits are being
established. Chile has long been the
chief fruit growing country of the
lower half Of our hemisphere. It al
ready has orchards of hundreds of
acres and its vineyards are yielding
about 100000 gallons of wine Every
year There is no land upon earth that
has better fruit possibilities and Its
products are now TO be dropped upon
Uncle Sans tables.
In order to give you some idea OF
what this great industry -nay do for
the United States, I have spent day
with Don Salvador Izquierdo s. in go
ing over his fruit and nursery planta-
lions, situated near the town of Nos
and about IL miles from Santiago. Don
Salvador is the fruit king Of Chile, and
I might almost call him the Luther Bur
bank of our sister continent. He has
an irrigated hacienda of about 400 acres,
covered with gardens and orchards, and
plantations for the raising of flowers,
plants and trees of almost every variety.
He has now more than IL. 900, 600 Individual
plants in the estate and he ships plants
by the tens of thousands to all parts of
Chile, and also across the Andes to Ar
gentina, Uruguay and Brazil. He is not
only a grower of nursery stock, but is
likewise a scientific breeder OF new va
rieties. Altogether he has introduced into
Chile more than 1890 new varieties of
fruits and plants, and he has himself
originated by cross breeding hundreds
OF valuable trees and flowers. Some of
