FERTILE LAND RECLAIMED.
WASHINGTON. April 6.--For upward
of a year work has been In pro-
gress in the drainage OF a large area
of overlooked land on the margin
of Lake Chapals IN the state of Jalisco.
The enterprise Ia now approaching sue
cessful completion and II is stated that
an area Of 10000 acres has been Sc
cured. which will shortly be available for
cultivation. The soil is of superior fer
tility because of its origin and crops Of
all kinds are expected 10 be abundant.
The Department OF Agriculture and De-
velopment is now engaged in studying
the best plans for subdividing these re-
claimed lands into small tracts and put
ting them in the hands of the people of
that region for cultivation.
GARBANZO CROP OF WEST COAST.
Official figures have been received Civ
ing the shipments by rail of the gar
BANJO crop raised last year in the States
OF Sonora and Sinaloa. From Sonora
there were shipped 1885 sacks and
from Sinaloa 134,799 sacks. making a
grand total OF 309,GG4 sacks. This Is
! the largest crop raised since 1912. In
that year the total amount shipped by
rail was 1905 sacks There were also
large shipments by water for several
! points

range will be pushed through to the por,
OF Mazatlan on the Pacific coast in
accordance with the original plans when
the railway from Piedras Negras on the

American boundary TO that place II Is
estimated that the mountain forests to
be traversed by this road contain more
than four hundred million dollars worth
of valuable timber, not considering the

would be opened for development

Severely Hit by War.

Taken as a whole, the London Stdtist
saws. South America and indeed all OF
what is commonly called Spanish Amer
lea has in n sense prospered as a result
OF the economic conditions brought about
by the recent war. There are, however,
execution Among these exceptions
probably none Is more striking than the
serious economic effect which the war
has had upon Central America or the
five republics
The building of the Panama Canal and
its successful wording mark the end OF a
reriod in the history OF the five re-
publics and should lead. and no doubt
will lead. to a period of great pros
perity for this narrow neck OF land
which connects tho continents OF North
and South America.
From the experience the United States
medical authorities obtained in cuba
during the Spanish war. In following up
the discoveries that both malaria and
yellow fever were carried by two dis
tinct species OF mosquito, evidence wa S
accumulated which enabled that Gov
ernments medical officers to deal with
the insauitary conditions which prevailed
I'm what we now call the Canal Zone.
Every one now knows with what sue
cess Surgeon General Gorgas tackled
that problem and reduced the death rate
from one OF the highest in any OF the
inhabitated parts OF the world TO figures
no greater than those which prevail ip
/ the Industrial centres OF Europe and OF
the United States.
In order to safeguard its own lately
acquired territory in the vicinity OF the
canal It became imperative that the
United states Government should take
benevolent interest In the affairs OF the
| countries in immediate proximity 70 the
canal The form that assistance from
the United states was given these
neighboring republics was partly direct
but more often by the indirect means
of assisting in opening up the territory
! of the five republics and in improving
their harbors increasing their coffee
cocoa and banana plantations, and
where necessary. making advances fol

An Example in Cuba.

OF late especially has there been a
tendency on the part Of newly formed
trading companies, which have organized
on a large scale for the purpose OF car
rying on world trade. to attempt TO cor
ner all the exclusive sales rights for
American manufactured products in
sight.
one firm opened a large Office In Cuba
and acquired numerous agencies on the
promise of producing fabulous results
After some six months dissension devel-
oped between the head Office and their
local manager, the acquisition OF whom
had been the principal feature of their
Cuban projects, and they closed out the
office leaving orders untitled and I'M
shipped until the accounts were liqui-
dated some months later. To top all this
firm attempted to retain its Cuban agen-
cies on the basis that the contracts did
not stipulate that an office should be
maintained in Cuba.
II would he reasonable to expect that
tactics OF this kind might be resorted TO
by European concerns which would have
in mind the object OF clearing the mar
ket OF as many competitors as possible
for the protection Of their European
agencies. but the outstanding records OF
some American houses in this regard are
serious indictment, not only OF the
firms themselves, but OF manufacturers
In general who fail to use the same good
caution and common sense regarding
their foreign business that they apply
to their domestic.
The trading house frequently has at
it's disposal unusual means OF carrying
on business on a large scale and OF
building large markets for whatever
products they undertake to sell. The
fact that they are buyers as we'll as
sellers gives them a double hinge on the
market.

VAST FIELDS OPEN
FOR HEAVY EXPORTS
Chile, Peru and Ecuador in the
Market for All Kinds Of
Machinery.
Special Despatch 10 THE suy.

WASHINGTON, April 6.--In the opinion
Of the Bureau OF Foreign and Domestic
Commerce, United States Department of
Commerce. who has made an extensive
study OF the requirements for construc-
ton materials and machinery in Chile,
Peru and Ecuador, there has never be-
fore in all the history OF either of these
nations been such a time when so great
chance presented itself to the i've
American exporting manufacturer.
Now that a Anal peace is SO close at
hand the situation has been reduced to
race between the great Powers to see
which shall gain for itself the business
on hand in these lines at the present mo-
ment.
In Chile the figures connected with
! construction work reach a considerable
| Misunderstanding near 100000 is
the estimated cost of studies for railway
| projects nearly completed. Turning
back to 1917 II is seen that thirty-fve
pieces were finished at an Appropriated
cost of 100000. these including i'm
provements for, water supplies. repairs to
| wharves, jetties, sea walls and sewers.
The Chilean Public Works Depart
ment has under inspection Just now some
| twenty-five contracts which come TO
value of sss7.53s. although this does not
| embody the irrigation work now under
\ way To undertake and continue the
completion of these projects a constant
| flow of construction material and ma
! chinery must reach Chile. Not only are
the products of American factories as
| good as those of the European, but they
are In the opinion OF Chilean officials,
better. But only through advertising
and progressiveness can their worth be
definitely established at all times.
| Among the many American made
articles preferred in Chile are found
door locks, padlocks, hinges. iron and
wire nails tacks. construction and cabi-
net work lumber. turpentine. varnishes.
&c. -
Being always up 10 date this is an
added factor In favor OF the American
product, but still in some things. such
as basic paint materials and lnseed oil,
England is given preference.
Demand for Sanitary Fixtures.
Chile has during the past decade
done much toward sanitation, hut this
has required ton upon ton of material
and will require as much more. I'm
DO ted each year are $4,000 fixtures
which include enameled and porcelain
bathtubs. waterelosets and lavatories ;
hot water installations also being in
steady demand,
But the great, vast things that re-
auire development--and thus the atten-
ton of every Spanish American maker
of construction material--are the rail-

the mines, the great southern forests
and the agricultural resources.
It is quite possible that with the
development of natural water power
Central Chile may become a centre OF
manufacturing, and all the more reason
able to expect that the investment of
American capital and American talent,
employing Chilean labor should bring
large returns to those wise enough to
see ahead
Peru Is in much the same condition
with regard to construction materials as
Is Chile. only the needs of the former
are far more urgent The chances of
making some excellent contracts are
many. for wave OF prosperity is sweep
