The company at first imported a
| good many engineers from the south
ern states, thinking that with their
experience in handling the American
Negro they would be able to deal
with the natives. but it was found
that this experience was really det-
rlment 10 them, as those who stayed
had to completely readjust them
selves. The natives cant be ordered
to do anything as the American Ne
gro can, the reason for this being
that nature has provided so we'll TO,
them. They feel as though they
were doing you favor if they work
at all, and in fact they do. There
is enough growing right at hand to
prevent starving, and the only cloth
ing they need is that necessary to
protect them from mosquitoes. To
have any success whatever, always
use conversational tone OF voice
never by any means allow any ex-
element to show in either voice or
action. Their natural dislike of
work, the easy means of obtaining
food and the hook-worm makes of
them difficult race to handle.
Another thing l think should be
known and fully understood, is
the unrestricted opportunity to
drink and gamble end a person
must have good sound horse sense
and a well developed back bone or
there is a great chance of his falling
by the ways;de. Judging from what
| have seen in these different coun-
tries, | think the men who have
worked in the construction and min
ing camps of the west, were, of the
men working there, the least in
clined to take advantage of their
environments. In fact it is quite a
change from bone dry state to one
where good etiquette demands that
no one should leave home without
being offered his ,avorite brand of
liquor.
To those who expect to go to Cen
trail America to obtain land, / would
like to rela e an inc dent or two that
took place in Guctamala 1t will
perhaps give an insight into the po-
litical conditions.
The president Cf Guatemala is
nearly full blood Indian and it
is supposed that he has . consider

strong that he is being guarded al
