RICH PERU LAND
LURES CAPITAL
Nation Is Willing to Grant
Valuable Soil to Builder
OF Railroad There.

william v. Afford. OF Garre:tsviile.
ONO. who Is a Fellow of the Roya,
Geographical Society. and prominent
ly associated with the American So
ciety Of Civil Engineers. has just ar
rived IN New York from q prolonged
sojourn In Peru
He was In Peru about ten years ago
and at that time became familiar
with some OF the more conspicuous
characteristics OF that wonderful
country. which. he says. possesses
everything that a kindly providence
could give 20 man excepting q large
population and means.
Afford expects to return to Peru
after a brief visit to the United
States, for he has committed to him
very important business which may
be hereafter o: great value In the
development of international trade
between the United States and Peru
There is perhaps in no other place
In the world ar area Of like extent
which Is capable of richer develop
ment. Minerals, precious and other
and also oil. abound. IN some places
il only a shallow ditch. not even a
ditch. a little excavation. Is dug in
the soil oil bubbles up or exudes.
Upon the slopes of the Andes there
could be cultivated almost every
thing that grows under a sun whose
heat Is tempered by the altitude OF
the. mountains. Stretching through
the East the virgin sell is especially
adapted to the production OF sugar
and In fact every kind of tropical
vegetables. or fruit. In some parts
the soil makes possible the cuitiva-
ton OF the best kind of wheat. and
very large yield OF II.
The Peruvian government, having
been for some some time anxious that
there be development OF it's resources
and for that reason ready to make
reasonable concessions To American
capital. has set apart about 30N0o0
acres Of land. which Is about
equal To the area of the State
Of New Jersey and which con-
stitutes the concession. II is pro-
vided that those who possess the con-
cession must build a railroad. which.
when completed. will stretch from a
point uopn the northern coast of Peru
TO the headwaters NJ the Amazon.
In seven years the total area Of
:. 0tO.OO acres viii have passed into
the possession ~ thuS. to whom the
concession was made
From one point OF view this Is To he
through TRANSPORT mental railroad.
II will connect a Pacific port with
tho navigable head waters Of the
Amazon River. In like manner the
Argentine and Chilean railroads. far
to the south. connect the harbor Of
Valparaiso with the harb"r OF Buenos
Ayres. HOLLAND.

Real Estate Board to
Endorse Bond Issue
for Surfaced Roads

The proposed 100000 bond issue
for hard surface roads in Douglas
county probably will be formally APP
proved by the Real Estate board
next Wednesday
A report OF the boards good
roads committee of which L. c.
Sholes is chairman will ask that the
plan be endorsed but probably will
recommend that no road be built up
to the Platte river until the location
af a bridge between Douglas and
Sarpy counties has been determined
by the state engineer.
The Real Estate board has for
several years been working for a sys-
tenn of paved roads in Douglas
county but it has consistently OPP
posed make-shift projects or pro-
posals that appeared to have been
gotten up for the benefit OF special
Interests of localities. The present
program calls for pavement of l0l
miles Of road in Douglas county.
