MODERN LIFE IN PATAGONIA
Prosperous and Up.ts-pats City He
drown Up at the Tip Of the South
American Continent

The modern city Of Punta Arenas
has risen to importance at the eE-
treme southern. extremity Of South
America since the advent Of the an
tomobile. 4,s,= 4. : sSssr
Punta Arenas, OF, o. It IL commonly
called By. It's own people. Sandy Point,
can be compared the moro readily with
American settlements because It IL
not essentially i part of' Spanish
America. The city and surrounding
territory IRE populated chiefly BY
.Scotchmen, and. English is. the pre-
yailing tongue. Three-fourths Of the
export trade IL with England and tho
United States.
This southern outpost Of civilization
was founded in 1910, a. q convict
camp for Chilean prisoners, conse-
quently bearing a resemblance to Aus.
.tralia In demonstration Of the value
Of enforced colonization. The pres
ence Of the convicts caused the estab-
lishment Of a coaling station for YES
sells passing through the Straits of
Magellan, and Punta Arenas passed a
colorless existence until a few years
ago, when the discovery was made
that southern Patagonia was the finest
sheep-raising country In the world.
We r accustomed to think Of the
tip Of the South American continent
as a polar region, says a writer in the
Americas. It's latitude does in fact
correspond to that Of Alaska, and the
sea is occasionally encountered with
fcebergs, but ocean currents warm the
land, producing a climate equa-
BILE than that Of Kentucky. The pas
lures are green all the year round, and
no houses need be built for sheep.
With the discovery Of the sheep.
raising possibilities Of Patagonia.
Scotchmen and Englishmen from the
Falkland islands thronged to the main.
land, great sheep ranches were estab.
lished, and Punta Arenas became q
modern city Of 1900 population, with
electric lights, theaters, banks, four
newspapers, good schools, etc. 1t is
the commercial outlet for a great az
r%cultural and mining district.
The transportation demands Of Pat,
agonia developed after the coming Of
the automobile, and as a result, ali
passenger transportation is carried on
by auto. The one railroad in the coun'
try is not a passenger road. Passable
highways and the internal combustion
engine are dependency Of this newest
civilization in the world.

Italy, Dec. Observation-Disclosures
General Scrivan, Of the United States
army, accompanied by an aid and the
American military c++ache at Rome,
has arrived at headquarters to study
the italian situation and make a series
of reports to the American govern
ment. Major G. M. P. Murphy, head
of the American Red Cross in Europe
is also here to coordinate the work Of
his organization. General Scriven was
received by King Victor Emanuel, who
invited him to dinner, where the stu
alton was discussed at length.
Reports from the front show that
the enemy is still persistent, but that
little is left Of his former vigor Of at
tack and he is resorting to the old de-
vice Of cunning. The Germans have
posted placards in Italian, reading:
italians, we lave crossed the de.
lenses of the Plaive. Your defense is
useless. Let us pass without further
bloodshed. We lhall be in Vicenza in
three days"
In reply to this, italian soldiers post.
ed a placard in German, reading:
"You will never pass"
An eminent American military au'
thority summarizes the situation IL
this way:
"While the danger is not yet over
nevertheless it seems to me from {
military viewpoint that the enemy
cannot pass, being confronted by tn
combined Italian, British and French
forces"
His chef military reason for thi!
view is that the enemy no longer ha'
his lines of conf unication freely opel
to the rear, as the winter is breaking
his communications in the north ant
interrupting, if not destroying them il

NEW CENTRAL DRY GOODS co.

The solid and attractive brick block
at the corner of Central avenue and
23d street N. E., has become the home
of several of the neatest shops to be
found in the city, and the corner store
recently opened by the Misses Anna
and Sarah Tang, is in keeping with
the others. These ladies are not by
any means novices for they conducted
a successful business in another part
OF the city for several years before
opening their attractive shop in the
present location. They specialize in
women's and children's garments and
general notions. Their store, of 22x8O
feet, which is we'll lighted, is thorough
ly stocked with the finest grades of
merchandise in their line. Il is ap-

have been employed in the display and

AT THE THEATRES
"PRINcE OF PILsEN."

''The Prince of Pilsen," musical
comedy written by Frank Pixley and
Gustav Luders, which, a decade ago,
set the amusement loving public of
both America and England to hum
ming it's melodies and laughing at it's
absurdities, will be next weeks offer
ing at the Shubert. Like it's prede-
cessor of this week, "Erminie," the
comedy has two striking roles for
comedians, which have been allotted
to Frank Moulan, the visiting star, and
Raymond Crane, the organization s
regular comic" The title role, that
of "The Prince Of Pilsen," will be
played by Henry Coote, the original
prince of the play when it was given
it's premier in the fremont theater,
Boston, and who also played the part
during the long New York City run of
the comedy, and also during the Lon
don engagement of the opera. Flor
ence Mackie, prima-donna of the Balm
bridge Company, will be the daughter
OF the cincinnati, Ohio, brewer, tour
ing in Italy. According to the story,
Hans Wagner, a millionaire brewer,
during his visit to Nice, Italy, is mis-.
taken by the populace for '"rhe Prince
Of Pilsen," a nobleman, known to be
travelling incognito throughout the
kingdom. Herr Wagner mistakes the
homage paid to him, as Difference due
because of his exalted financial posi-
tion in America, and to the fullest en-
joys the distinction of being the most
honored man in Nice. Ultimately, the
real prince comes along, and meets the
brewers beautiful daughter. The
prince, at the time, is engaged in a
deep political conspiracy, into which
he draws the brewer, to the great de-
light of the audience. In the end, how.
ever, everything ends happily, and the
prince weds the heiress.

People who have been dissatisfied
with serials heretofore, can have their
ideals fulfilled by seeing the opening
chapters of ''The Mystery of the Dou-

natural scenario, and pleasant features
that has ever been filmed. Molly King
