Each of these estancias average

It is not the city which makes
the city. The future of Chicago
does not depend upon Chicago,
but rather upon the country sur
rounding Chicago. 1t is the same
with Buenos Aires. Hence, | went
out to see the agricultural and
stock raising country.
The first stop was Belgrava, a
very attractive suburb about five
miles from Buenos, Aires. Soon
after leaving Belgrava small
farms for truck gardening were
seen by the score.
About every 20 minutes the
train stops at a little town of a
couple of hundred people. There
is one main street with the gen.
eral store at the corner. There
are two barber shops, saddler's
shop and a blacksmith shop.
There is the usual agricultural
implement agency. Yes, these
towns are very much like those
in which many of you readers

one of these little stations, named
Soils. With the exception of two
or three persons dressed like my
self, the men were dressed like
cowboys in the states. Arriving
at the estancia (ranch) found
a different type of men--called
"gauchos." These are the real
native Argentines who have not
mixed with any other race.
These men wear low canvas
shoes with rope soles; they wear
no stockings and their cotton
trousers are buttoned about the
calf of the leg. A rough coat and
the regulation black hat make up
the rest of their attire.
The habit OF tho country re-
garding meals is odd. The first
meal consists of rolls with tea OF
coffee taken at any time and any
place. No one bothers much about
1t, especially the cook! The great
meal is at IL o'clock and it is
called breakfast. 1t starts with a
heavy soup; next comes fish or
eggs, a sort of an Irish stew i;
then comes chicken, cooked In
some form with vegetable, then
follows a roast of lamb with an
other vegetable or salad; and
finally crackers, cheese and cof-
fec. Directly following this heavy
meal. all were invited to lie down

Beneath an apparently serene cx-
terior presaging the uncontcstcd re-
election of General Bennett H. Young
OF Louisville, Ky. as commander of
the United Confederate Veterans there
made its appearance in the hotel
Hobbies last night an under current OF
division which gave promise OF sharp
contest to-day before the commanding
officer is elected at the afternoon ses-
sion.
The rival candidate proposed for the
highest Office within the gift OF the
convention is Major General Felix II.
Robertson, commander OF the Texas
Division. Friends and supporters OF
General Robertson were particularly
numerous Mt the Jefferson Hotel and ut
Murphy's. where an active. but un-
official, campaign was waged to enlist
support in his behalf.
HAS ALWAYS RE-EI.ECTED
IT'S GRAND COMMANDER
Since the organization was founded,
twenty-five years ago, the United Con-
federate Veterans has, with one ex-
ccption. invariably reelected the pre-
siding commander. Except for one
case. in which the comman der resigned
and declined to stand for reelection,
the commanders have been periodically
reelected. TO be retired by death
alone.
Last year in Jacksonville General
Young was opposed for recollection by
General Robertson. in whose behalf a
full -iiedged campaign is again under
way. AT the Florida meeting General
Young nolled l.o7l OF the 1879 bal
lots that were cast, and his rival from
Texas 500.
1t was freely admitted Inst night
that General Young's absence from the
convention, unavoidable though IL was,
viii operate to give strength 10 the
rival candidate. The comparatively
close vote in jacksonville. where both
candidates were present led friends
OF General Robinson to predict last
night that the Texan will poll n ma
jority of the votes to-day.
There We're others. however, who
held a decidedly different view, bcUev-
ing that General Young's illness and
enforced absence will strengthen rath-
cr than weaken his candidacy. II was
pointed out by these that the veterans
will be slow to shift their support to a
new candidate through n natural reluc-
lance TO be guilty of anything resem-
bling ungraciousncss to an absent com
mander. .

took poll on the two rival candi-
dates. The results of these elections
