MILLION DOLLAR SALE
OF RANCH PROPERTY
Disposed of at Auction in Two
Strenuous Days
Claire Totman Writes of Sale He
Attended Near His Home in
South America
Editor of The Herald

Editor of The Herald
To attend an auction sale of farms
was somewhat of an innovation for
me. Not in the sense of the mag
nitude of the transactions, particular :
ly, but for the idea of colonization
and the methods of conducting such a
sale.
The Estancia San Pedro, one of the
many belonging to The River Plata
Estancia Co. Ltd, contains approx
imately $500 hectares or 10000
acres. 1t is located on the shore
of the La Plata river, opposite
Buenos Aires.
1t has private docks where the
river boats call to take and deliver
cargo as we'll as passengers and
visitors. 1t has five miles of river
front and extends seven miles inland.
1t may be compared with whole
township in Grant county, it having
It's net work of roads and fences and
its various 'poblaciones or houses
of camp foremen. 1t really occu-
pies noticeable spot on the map of
the republic.
The lay of the land is somewhat
undulating but not billy, and there
are various groves or woodlands,
none of which, however, are natural
but which have been planted by hand.
On the uplands are scattering groves
of eucalyptus trees which are recog-
nizable from distance, due to the
deep green color and more particu-
larly to the characteristic pungent
aroma. Along the various creeks
and in the swamps are beautiful
groves of weeping willows. These
willows are unique in the sense that
they appear as one great, large, fiat
tree, the hanging branches almost
hiding the trunks, and presenting on
a windy day the aspect of waving
field of grain, with more majestic
movement, however.
