hand are features of the country. The
fierce jaguar, eel tigre" of the people,
sometimes preys upon the cattle
herds and when he does it is the
custom to tip the horns of the bulls
with steel. Many a marauding steer
killer has met his death on the horns
of fighting bull. Big spotted Loop
ards and puma or mountain lions are
less formidable. Not even jaguars
ever attack man. You can buy a
good leopard hide, black and white
and tinted with red, for $3.50 to So
gold.
Twenty years ago Port Limon on
the Atlantic side was pest hole.
Mr.. Fairbairn, resident there, told

Americans to visit Costa RIGA. Those
who do go will have much to see.
The highest mountain peaks here are
scarcely less above sea level than the
Hottest of our own Rocky mountains
and they begin to rise almost from
the sea while the American Rockies
rise from lofty plateau, the higher
edge Of the great plains region.
There Is q modern railway system to
the heart Of the country and San
Jose, the capital, connecting with
frequent steamer service to and from
the States, only five days distant.
The people are courteous and pleas
ant There Ia nothing savage in the
Costa Rican nature. The terrible
electric chair and the grisly gallows
do not cast their grim shadows
across the human soul in Costa RIGA.
One who takes life here is placed in
the penitentiaFy, where he can do no
more harm, and is made comfortable
and as useful as possible. The ulti-
mate sentence for any crime is TWEEN
ty years, long enough, they think, to
Gxpinte any wrong. A wagon will
not drive down a street in San Jose
Il there is a sick person in house
thereon. The driver is advised by
the policeman to go around the block.
The other day in the great hospital
Of the United Fruit Company at
Port Limon an Indian woman was
thought to be dying. TRANSMISSION of
blood was the only step that prom
ised to save her. A man who was no
relative Of the woman and had never
seen her, offered his strong healthy
blood just because she was a woman.
No one need ever go hungry in Costa
Rica-the humblest family will d.
vide it's meal with stranger.
Americans are popular here.
Many Of the greatest works in Costa
Rica have been under American di-
Rection. Minor C. Keith astonished
the railroad world when he built the
line up to the Cordilleras. For time
the Costa Rican government was un-
able to make stipulated payments for
the line, in which it has an interest.
Yet moro than 1900 workers stuck
by their American employer, Mr..
Keith, for nine months without sal
airy because they were sure of him.
So the American name stands for
achievement in Costa RIGA.
Since the European war Costa Rica
has purchased an increasing volume
Of American-made goods. They are
liked. Hundreds of American tour
lists have visited Costa RIGA during
the pas: winter season and, of course,
their presence is appreciated.
The population is enterprising.
Nins:Y-fve per cent Of the people of
the uplands are white. Here visitors
see the fiaxen-haired descendants of
the Andalusian dons of Spain. The
beauty of the Costa Rican women Is
notahie. In San Jose the stores are
conspicuous not alone for their varied
assortments of high-priced articles
and luxurles but for their attractive
featEraG Of women's apparel. For
merly they were European in char.
actar. Since the war they have been
almost completely stocked. with
American wares.

national crest set in embossed
leather. The stage Is large enough
for the largest opera companies. The
national library. the national muse
UNI with its live animals as well as
prehistoric potteries are mighty in
teresting, while visit to the
churches and educational institutions
in San Jose and Cartago Is worth
anybody's time.
Outside Of San Jose are coffee
plantations. The country Is neat and
well-kept. There are stone fences
along the roads and bridges. In the
drying plants you will see mounds
of green coffee as high rs mans
head, for the industry Is great one.
The ceffee exposed to the sun on
concrete beds is constantly turned
over SO it viii dry evenly and not
ferment. The. land In Costa RIGA Ia
as rich as Canaan. It grows cab
bages, oranges, grape fruit, coffee,
cocoa, potatoes, bananas, corn, sugar
cane, alligator pears, tomatoes, let
tuce, peas, beans, caulifiower, de-
pending upon whether one is IN the
highlands or lowlands.
When we of the United States
were in our revolutionary days Costa
RIGA had been colopized by the flower
Of Spain and today the visitor notes
the evidence of long established
civilization. There is nothing finer
of cool bright morning in the high
lands than to take horseback ride
or the train from San Jose to
Alaiuela or Cartago. The crowds
themselves at the railway stations
are worth notice. The short Spanish
coat with square shoulders and end
ing at the hips Is often seen. Broad
hats and smart narrow shoes COM
plete the costume. Bevies Of pretty
girls In white with ribbons and para
sols and often with high French
heels are seen welcoming or bidding
adieu to strangers. The priests In
their black cassoclks are always en-
pertaining: many Of them have been
educated in Madrid or Paris. Most
Of them have visited the United
States.
But the glory Of Costa Rica Is in
her mountains. Above Cartago tow
ers Mt. Irazu, 1920 feet in alti-
tude. One can make the trip 70 the
summit and back by mule in "a
hours. On the way he win pass q
sanitarium. Near Carriage are min
era springs. The city was destroyed
| by earthquake In 1910, but has since
been finely rebuilt Mt. Poas, reach
led from Alajuela on the railroad
-line, has a bath house on the sum-
nit. The firing Of a pistol or shout
ing will cause q torrent of boiling
water to catapult from the center.
Chirripo Grande with an altitude Of
13, 424 feet is higher than either Of
these.
Thus it is that Costa RIGA, marvel
GUS mountain republic to the south
of the United States, sends her
greeting. She is at peace with the
world and prosperous and has thanks
for the far-seeing Americans who
have contributed to her prosperity.

wings and in a more than meta
phorical sense. But the mosquito
has been successfully combatted;
pure water and decent living quar-
tiers obtained. It's about ten years
since there. has been case OF yell
low fever or plague in Port Limon.
The great work has been accomplish
ed by the United Fruit Company,
which has spent hundreds OF thou
sands of dollars in sanitation. The
company maintains great hospital
with q capacity for about $50 patti
ents. The entire country is mapped
with reference to sanitation and thus
disease can be isolated and quaran-
tined. 1t is part of President An
drew w. Preston's plan when the
great organization started. Today
Port Limon is healthy. 1t is an at
tractive place with q fine park, sea
wall, and splendid wharyes on which
trains go to take passengers and
freight. Here come on regular
schedule the magnificent steamers of
the White Fleet.
San Jose is practically in differ
emit zone than Port Limon. People
wear light overcoats in San Jose at
night. Boys sell wooden baskets Of
big fresh Strawberries at five cents
a. basket. The finest public building
in Costa Rica is the Teatro Nacional
National Theatre), in San Jose,
built at an expenditure Of S1.000,000
gold exclusive Of furnishings. The
outside is Of white marble. The in
terror Hobbies and foyer are Of color
ed Italian marble. Old tapestries,
mural paintings, gold plate, and
sculptures set it off. The magnifi-
cent foyer is in Louis XVI archi-
lecture though the building as a
whole partakes more Of Italian than
French renaissance. The seats are

What is true of Costa RIGA is true
of many another Latin-American
country. They are buying from the
States. Visit the Costa Rican shops
and see. Enamelled and porcelain
ware formerly bought from Germany
are now bought from the good old U.
S. A. Saddles formerly from Eng
land now come from America. Iron
enamelled beds come from the United
States now and they cannot get
enough of them. Practically all
cereals come from the States except
oatmeal, part Of which comes from
Great Britain. The jewelry is prac-
tically all American. So are the
druggists goods. All the automo-
biles are American and San Jose is
filed with them. All the hardware
is of United States manufacture.
The furniture once came from Ger
many and Austria. So did the UNI
brellas. Now we furnish both. Rails
ms, citron peel, currants and candied
peel once came from England. These,
too, we furnish. Combs, wigs,
trunks, glass, perfumes Except some
very fine varieties from La Belle
France), canned fish, fruits and
meats, canned corn, peas, beans and
other vegetables come from the
United States. Some linens come
from Ireland, cotton print goods
from Spain, felt hats from Italy,
mats from Japan, though American
hats and cotton print goods are more
and more on the market.
And in other lines you will find
goods made under the Stars and
! Stripes right UP in front on the

as a river in the tropics for nowhere
is there such foliage to set it off.
From the time the train enters the
canon of the Reventazon until it has
left that roaring stream white rib
bon in the far distance below, the
visitor is treated to a continuous
panorama varying from that of the
sub-tropics to that of the high
plateaus. An observation car is at
tached to the train which leaves Port
Limon every morning at $40, reach
ing San Jose about four. There are
two fine hotels, the Washington and
the Hotel Francois, in San Jose
which is Sirnla for Panama Canal
Zone employees, as it is only 20 hours
from Colon.

respect and admiration of the peo-
pies and governments.
Go short distance from the rail-
way line and you will find all sorts
of wild creatures. Costa RIGA is a
Garden of Eden for wild life. There
are three varieties of wild turkeys,
each Of them numerous and fine eat
ing. Wild pigeons, some Of them of
great size, abound and are served in
the San Jose hotels. There are three
or four species of wild hogs. The
other day herd of 1000 of them, in
changing their feeding place from
the Atlantic to the Pacific divide,
passed within twenty miles of
Alajuela. Needless to say, every one
in the vicinity had a fine mess Of
roast pork. Deer are very common
and the shipment Of their hides to
the States is a commercial industry.
Otter, tapirs and monkeys are found
in abundance. Giant green, red and
