SANTIAGO, Chile. July 22.-It's

in Chile and winter sports are in full
swing. The 3000-mile chain OF
mountains which is Chile's share OF

sportsmen from all over the world
are treking to the popular ski
centers.
There are several glorious fields
within three hours motor drive OF

capital is only three hours distant
from Valparaiso, leading seaport for
Chile.
Much work on roads and equip
ment has been undertaken by the
government during the past year to
make ski resorts more easily acces-
sible and to bring facilities up to
date. Towlines and carriers have
been introduced on the best of the
long runs, the latest waxing equip

Runs of All Types.
Portillo, on the trans-Andear
railway connecting Santiago with
Buenos Aires, is one of the most
favored winter sports resorts. 1t is
set 5000 feet above sea level on the
shores of the Lake of the Incas,
which is dropped like sapphire in
the deep frosted bowl formed by the
mountain ridges. These slopes pre-
sent glorious runs of all types, and
the lake which freezes to a depth
of 2 feet in winter is the beautiful
setting for races, hockey games, ice
yachting and skating. Portillo has
a very good hotel with delicious
food, comfortable accommodations
and stocked bar and offers the
services of a ski instructor speaking
several languages. The train leaves
passengers right at the door of the
hotel and may be used for the climb
as in the case of the 2000-foot run
down to Juncal, the station below
Portillo.
Sportsmen in search of still more
excitement climb up to the Argen-
tine frontier, marked by the famous
