Valleys Are Rich
The Chubut territory has many rich

well fitted for grazing. The country
already has more than 100000 sheep.
5000, 600 cattle and 200 600 horses one
district alone has more than 100000

something like $4,000 acres; another
that has $500 Rambouillet sheep on
$4,000 acres, and another which has
1000 sheep on a similar area Alto

Almost all southern Patagonia Is
more or less fitted for sheep raising;
it is said one can start on the mainland
north Of the Strait OF Magellan and
travel to Buenos Aires. stopping over
every night at the house Of a farmer.
There are sheep stations wherever
there is water. ard the sheep feed on
the bushes and scanty grass OF the
pampas.
The province Of Santa Cruz. Just be-
low Chubut. produces about 100000
pounds Of wool per annum, and there
are freezing establishments at the

expedition 10 study the geography and
geology Of southern Patagonia He es-
timated that there were about 800 in
dams living between the Santa Cruz
river and the Strait OF Magellan. He
measured many OF them and found the
average height OF the men to be five
feet II inches and their average weight
about Us pounds. The women weigh
about as much as the men and they
were as well developed physically.
He said that race suicide was COM

pJIBIISHED DAILY
LET DIPLOMACY
SETTLE THE MATTER.

While there is naturally resentment
among Americans toward Germany
for attacking the American steamer
Gulflight, it is best to defer judg-
ment until all the facts shall have
been received.
Pending an official investigation,
the United States government will
defer diplomatic representations as
well as any pronouncement Of policy.
Two messages have been received
from American Consul Stephens at
Plymouth, England, reporting that
the Gulflight was torpedoed off the
Scilly Islands Saturday and that her
captain died of heart failure and two
members of the crew were drowned
Secretary Bryan calls attention
to the fact tina! the source Of his
authority was not given by Consul
Stephens and that the messages read
as if he were reporting on inforna-
ton he had heard, rather than facts
officially learned. Mr.. Bryan said ne
would ask for thorough and COM
plete report from the American Con-
sui and would direct Ambassador
Gerard at Berlin To- make similar
inquiry of the German government
FOR such facts as it might have on
the subject.
The Secretary announced that nc
did not wish to make any prculc-
tions as to the course of the Amer
can governments policy until all the
facts were in it's possession.
officials were careful not to take
for granted the truth of reports 'ila'
a German torpedo struck INC unll-
light. Until there is definite PROOF
no statement bearing on the delicate
point of responsibility was deemed
expedient.
