BAHIA BLANCA.
Bahia Blanca is the New Orleans
of the Argentine Republic. 1t is the
metropolis Of the South, and all Of the
country from here to Cape Horn Is
tributary to it. 1t is great railroad
center, with iron tracks gong out
from II like the veins of a leaf, and
with surveys that include half dozen
new routes across the Andes to Chile
Thirty years ago the town was a
village 1t had a population of less
than 1000. Now it has more than
100000 and it promises to be one OF
the greatest Of the South American
ports. 1t is sometimes called the
Liverpool of the Argentine, and 1t
might be called the Minneapolis as
well. 1t has imports and exports an
nouncing to ten of millions of dollars
a year, and it's Touring mills and great
elevators are among the wonders Of
the South American continent.
Bahia Blanca is a. live modern city.
1t has eight newspapers, ten banks,
twenty hotels and an electric lighting
system that covers not only the build
ings but also the ships in the dry
docks and in the marbor. The eleva-
tors have an electric belt by which the
grain can be carried into a large mum
Der of steamers at one time, and or
the docks are electric cranes anC
other facilities for the handling OF
cargo. The town has one Of the larg-
est wool warehouses Of the world. i
covers more than ten acres and has {
storage capacity of over ten millior
pounds. There are also hotels ant
employment bureaus for immigrants
and other facilities or developing thu
enormous area which is tributary t.

The FalklandS are about the Wlud-
lest part of the world. The governor ~
the colony told me that the WIND blew
SO hard that not tree could live on
the island, and that it sometimes
even blew the potatoes and turnips out
Of the ground. Nevertheless, the grass
there grows luxuriantly, and the sheep
keep fat if the islands are not over
stocked The country has a grass that
acts as tonic, as we'll as a food 1t
is said to be a sort of vegetable cock
tall which cattle and sheep Will eat
almost without ceasing. This plant is
known as tussock grass. 1t grows in
tusSOckS or punches, and as many AZ
ESQ shoots may spring from one plant.
The animals eat the roots also, and
the roots are even eaten by men. Ii
is said that two Americans who were
cast away on one of the smaller
islands lived for more than year on
these tussock roots. The roots of the
old plants decay and the grass grows
upon them, as upon a cushion of ma
nure. Such cushions are sometimes
| six feet in height and five feet ~
diameter The plants in the disunce
| look like groves Of small palms.
The Falkland Islands are about zoo
in number, the most of them being
only small patches on the face Of ne
sea. The chief settlements are on the
two larger islands, known as East
Falkland and West Falkland East
Falkland is almost as large as Porto
Rico, and West Falkland is about two

! Stanley, on East Falkland, situated IN
a safe landlocked bay abou, haIt

harbor is we'll protected, and It's En-

Southern Argentina is an empire in
itself. 1t contains the frontier lands
at the lower end of the continent. 1t
is TO a large extent uneXplored, and
it forms an important part OF the
backwoods of the Argentine. This
great republic is so little known to
the man on the streets Of our Ameri-
can cities that / almost depair Of

north to south it is almost twice as
large as the United States, and if you
could lift 1T up by the corners and
twist it around, spreading 1t over our
country from east to west, the borders
OF Brazil and Bolivia would be some
where near Salt Lake City. The coun-
try Is as long as a straight line drawn
from New York to Ell PaSo or from
London to Consta ntinople, and at its
widest it reaches about as far as from
New York to Chicago. 1t has more
than one-third as much land as the

The Argentine Republic is divided
into fourteen States and ten terri
tories, and all of these compare we'll
with our great States in size. The
State of Santa Fe is bigger than New
York. Mendoza is larger than Illinois,
Cordoba than Missouri and San Luis
and Entire Rios are each about equal
to South Carolina in size. The prov
ince of Buenos Aires has 118, 900
square miles, and it ranks with our
great Western States of New Mexico,
Arizona and Colorado. COrrientes is
Just about equal to Maine. Catamarca
and La Rioja are larger than In

Ohio, and Tucuman as Massachusetts,

cannot tell where these States are
and fewer will be able to say as much
regarding the territories Neverthe-
less the Chaco, at the north opposite
Paraguay. is bigger than the State
OF New York and l-ormosa, in the
than Ohio. The territory of the Pam
pa is larger than Illinois, Rio Negro
is as big as Kansas. NeuQuen is the
size of Virginia and Chubut is large,
than Utah. The territory of Santa

as Nevada, and it would make tive
