most important political divisions of
the province of Buenos Aires, in the
Argentine Republic. The southern
part Of this district is exceedingly
progressive, and its development along
numerous lines Of useful effort insures

The city of Tres Arroyos, capital of
the district of the same name, is q
fine example of the development of the
section in which it is located, and its
people certainly have cause to be proud
of their rapidly growing town. Built
up by the constant, disinterested, and
loving devotion, of its inhabitants, the
city has progressed daily, and little
by little has become a popular center
with all the attributes Of a large city,
influential and powerful because of
the industry of its inhabitants and
their great accomplishments. The dis
trict has an area of 623,6S0 hectares,
and an approximate population Of A.
