local company to establish fishing
and canning plant on an island near
Montevideo. The island belongs to the
government 1t has given the company
five acres of land for the erection of
its plant for a term of twentyfi five years
and has authorized it to erect the docks
and ship building yards necessary for
its building.
The company agrees to spend not less
than 100000 in fishing boats. can
neries and cold storage plants. and
agrees to bring to Montevideo for daily
sale in the open market at least one
half of the fish now consumed and to
sell them at prices to be fixed semian-
nually by the government.
This fixing of prices and the govern
ment regulation of business was a pet
scheme of the past president. With
other things he wanted the government
to take over the whole packing in
dustry of Uruguay and run it for the
benefit of the people. Uruguay has
now about S00o,p00 beef cattle. and it
has a number of large factories for
Strengthening the animals and preparing
their meat for the market. The presi-
dent wished to make this a government
monopoly, a great government beer
trust, as it were, and that for the good
or the people.
The new movements of Uruguay are
not confined to the men. The new wom-
an has arrived in Montevideo and this.
notwithstanding it has for generations
been noted for its etiquette of the
most exclusive Spanish sort. The wom-

of activities here.
They are engaged in all sorts of
charity-work. 1t is due to them that
so, 200 poor children received last New
Year day 100000 toys as the gifts of
the city. The women were active in the
recent decree providing separate apart
ments in all prisons for juveniles and
also in that which gives the Legitimate
child the right to recognition aud to
inherit his share of the property of his
parents. They have aided in the estab-
lishment of industrial schools. and in
the new college for women. Many of
them are now engaged in school teach
ing. Some are employed in the gov
eminent offices, not a few are learning
biography, and the officials have been
instructed to give women work where
ever possible.
The women of Uruguay are beginning
to engage in business. They are en-
ployed in the shops and stores and
some are farming and stock raising.

tural implements. 1t recently had an
exhibition of agricultural motor ma
chimes and national cattle exposition.
At the latter seven hundred prizes were
awarded and among them were two. of
three or four thousand dollars each,
given to two thoroughbred bulls. One
was a Shorthorn which weighed 1907
pounds, and the other Hereford
whose weight was 1887 pounds. The
latter bull was only twenty months old.
Not long ago Uruguay held an inter-
national conference of agricultural de-
Tense. 1t has regular exhibitions in
Montevideo for the encouragement of
horticulture and conferences for the
lettering of rural development, which
are attended by the rural societies of
the republic, each of which sends
delegate here.
In this connection a new road law
has been recommended by the presl-
dent. This provides for public road con-
crosses. 1t recommends the establish
ment of permanent road fund of
something like s2,000,000 with extensive
plans for constructing and keeping the
roads in shape for a period of ten years.
II this passes it will make the total
fund for road improvement something
like 100000. The government has
already public road bureau which
has built many macadamized and other
roads within the past few years. Roads
have been macadamiZed, new roads laid
out and q large number of good bridges
constructed.
The importation of good breeding

Within the past two or three years
the republic has established a fish COM
mission somewhat like that of ours.
An expert fish culturist has been
brought down from the United States
and a fishing institute established.
They have now fleet of fishing boats
and hatcheries. They have a seal in
dustry. which is to be supervised and
protected by the institute, and every
effort is being made to increase the
fish supply of the country.
