state fair Is In progress. The
management ha designated
Wednesday as Suffrage, and
Friday as Anti-Suffrage duy. Tho suf
fraglste have arranged a parade for
Wednesday, and many rrizes huve been
offered for the best decorated cars, the
prettiest suffragists, the largest suffrage
families, and the best equipped young
women on horseback, etc. ,
Many well-known suffrage speakers
will be In Lincoln and will speak both
Indoors and at street meetings. Among
them are Rheta Chllde Dorr, an Omaha
viman, who took part in the suffrage
movement In England and is well-known
ns a writer; Miss Harriet Vlttum, Chi
cago; Miss Jane Thompson, field secre
tary of tho national nuffrago organiza

known as one of the "Big Four." who
lobbied the Illinois suffrage bill through
Antofagasta and Its
Cop righted 1914, by Frank G. Carpenter.)
p-NTOFVGASTA, Chile. I have
A just had a, mighty slide from
the roof of the world to the
( level of the sea. I have come
jjftJMJJ from the top of the Andes, In
?ycl noiiva, to the Paclflo ocean,
in Chile, and am now writing In Antofa
gasta, the chief port of one of the most'
desert parts of the world. This town lies
half way down the great South American
desert. It Is 2,400 miles from Panama,
and two days and more from Valparaiso,
the New York of Chile. It belongs to
Chile, and It forms Its chief gateway to
Bolivia and the mighty treasure vaults
of the Andes.. It la also the gateway to
the nitrate fields and to other wonders
of this arid part of the world. Through
It flows most of the borax used by man
kind, and out of It come vast quantities
of copper and tin.
Within a few miles of Antofagasta Is
Chuquicamata, where the Guggenheim
syndicate has some of the largest de
posits of low-grade copper on earth.
They can be worked at a profit and will
soon be supplying the greater part of the
copper from the South American conti
nent. Further north, at Uyanl, are tin
mines, and down the same road comes
the tin of Potosl and Oruro. Indeed, a
river of minerals is already flowing
through the port and the outlook is that
the stream will Increase with the devel
opment of the enormous deposits of the
Interior. Antofagasta la also the begin
ning of the new Transandine road that
Is to cross the continent by way of
Vyunl, Tupixa and the Argentine system.
Only about a hundred miles of this rail
road remains to be built, and when it la
completed travelers can go forth from
here to Buenos Ayres In three or four
days.
Hope of the Fntere.
The Antofagasta of the present shows
the hope of the future. It grows like the
thistles on the mountain farms of Vir
ginia, and today looks more like an
American town of our arid southwest
than anything I have yet seen In South
America. The houses are mostly of
wood, roofed with galvanized iron. The
streets are wide and many of them un
paved. The population reminds one of
our frontier. The characteristic sights
of the Andes have disappeared. There are
no blanketed Indiana and no llamas.
Wagons, carts and cabs have taken their
places. The town Is cosmopolitan. You
hear every language spoken as you move
through the streets, and are Jostled by
British and Germans, Austrlans and
French. There Is also a large propor
tion of .Chileans. The people are whites,
and the red and mixed races seem to be
confined to the Andes.
The harbor of Antofagasta Is poor,
but. It is filled with shipping and the
wharves are piled high with goods. There
are stacks of Oregon pine, plies of hags
of American flour and cords of steel rails
and structural steel brought in by our
steel trust. The place la the busiest of
all the ports between Valparaiso and
Panama, and now that the canal Is com
pleted it will send north the nitrate,
borax, copper, tin and other minerals
now pouring Into It from the regions be
bind. I came to Antofagasta from La Pax.
Hy route waa the one that I took fifteen
t ears ago, when I rode three days across
the plateau on the top of the wagon that
tarried the Bolivian malls. This was
from La Pas to Oruro, a railway atatlon
bout 0u miles from where I now am.

The Omaha Women's Christian Tem-
In a comfortable car, and the trip to An
tofagasta took only two days. Our train
had Bolivian millionaires, English, Aus
trian and American commercial travel
ers, miners of a half dozen different na
tionalities, and a number of tourist. 'We
stopped for six hours at Oruro and there
got sleeping compartments for the rest
of the Journey. We had dining cara on
the trains and we traveled in compara
tive ease.
At the aame time the fares were much
cheaper. Our sleeping berths cost us 3 a
night, and the first-class passenger fare
was about $24 with a charge for our bag
gage of about 2 cents per pound. I have
a number of trunks and my extra bag
gage, cost half as much as the fare. The
price for meals on the diner was 11.50
gold, with an extra charge for mineral
water, which was about twice what the
aame water would cost In the United
States.
A Seml-Desert Country,
The first part of this trip was over the
high plateau of Bolivia. Thia la a semi
desert country about 600 miles long and
of varying width. Its only vegetation la
half-starved grass and dry bushes, but It
feeds thousands of sheep, alpacas and
llamas, and we had animal life In sight
almost all of the way down to Oruro.
Now and then we passed a village of In
dians and always there were the scat
tered huts of the Aymaras spotting the
plain. The latter were round In shape
and many of them had roofs made of
mud bricks, symmetrically Joined. A
single family often had several of these
round huts and In addition corrals for
Its stork.
At one of the stations where we stopped
to get our dining car we saw a great
drove of llamas. They had brought fuel
to the railway for ahlpment to La Pas
and were about to start back with mer
chandise for their return trip to a town
In the hills. The fuel was what I might
call Bolivian cord wood. It consisted of
the limbs of stunted evergreens, each as
big around as your finger. They had
been grubbed from the mountains and
packed up In bundles about three feet
square and two feet In thickness.
Further down the road we saw great
piles of peat-moss, another fuel that
grows In the Andes. The moss is of a
woody resinous nature, and when lighted
gives out a great heat. It grows on the
top of the ground In disks ranging In size
from the diameter of a tin wash basin to
that of a tube.
All along the railroad we could see
also the piles of English or Australian
coal used by the engines. This Is In the
shape of briquettes, laid up in regular
order. At I'yunl, where the new road for
the Argentine la to Join the La Paz
Antofagasta line, I saw thousands of these
bricks. They were corded up, as It were,
and around the edges of the pile I noticed
that a white band had been painted. I
asked the reason, and was told that It
was to prevent the Indians from stealing
the coal. Such fuel In the high Andes Is
worth $Tj0 a ton.
Plates Smooth Floor.
Our ride over the Bolivian plateau was
through a country as smooth ss a floor.
The Plateau Is covered with stones. It is
supposed to have been at one time a vast
inland sea. and aea shells are often found
upon It. Prof. Agassis said that the water
level of the ancient Andean sea was 300
or 4rn feet higher than the present level
of the plateau. If so. It has all disap
peared, as today the orly large bodies of
water found there are In the lakes T1M
caea and Poopo. The latter Is a brark
tsh lake Joined to Lake Tltlcaca by ths
River Degaguadero. It Is only about one.
third as large as Lake Tltlcaca. Iake
Poopo is the home of many wild fowl
and the region about It la filled with
birds of many kinds. Including wild ducks
and flamingoes. Ths lake has no visible

outlet, but the waters from Tltlcaca are
always flowing Into It and there must
be some underground channel that carries
the surplus away.
Oruro Is thirty-six hours from Antofa
gasta. It is a thriving mining town, sit
uated 12. MO feet above the sea In the heart
of the Bolivian desert. It has about 30,000
people, and It does a great trade with the
tin mining regions In the Interior. . Its
population rlaes and falls aa tin goes up
and down. The town has a government
palace, a theater, a public library and a
mineral museum. It has many business
houses and some very respectable stores.
The streets are paved with cobbles, and
a rickety carriage carried me at a cost
of $." from one end of the town to the
other. It has a plaza upon which the
public buildings face, but altogether It Is
exceedingly dreary.
leaving there I took the narrow gauge
railroad down to the sea. Tbe track has
now a width of only thirty Inches, but it
Is to be widened to a gauge of forty
Inches, which Is the standard gauge for
this part of the world. The main line
starts at Antofagasta and crosses a pass
of over U.0UO feet at a dlstsnoe of C3
miles from the roast. Tt then descends
to a level of more than 1?,000 feet, which
It keeps practically all the way north to

rock looks aa though It had been broken
Into plecea by the hammera of giants and
piled up by some Intelligent force. It Is
a wonderful sight.
I have seen all of the great mountain
ranges that wall the western side of this
continent. The Andes are aald to be the
last of the great mountain masses shoved
up out of the sea; and of ail the high
lands they are In many respects the most
wonderful. From Panama to Patagonia
they form a mighty geological garden
such as can be seen In no other part of
the world. The combinations of desert
and rocks and sky give scenic effects be
yond description. Parts of the Andes
are more desert-like than tho wilds of
Arabia or the Sahara. They show you
how the earth was made, and the terrible
throes Involved In Its making. At times
you seem to be traveling upon the very
bedrock of the world, and again aa though
old mother earth. In her original naked-
nesa of bare rock, were laid out before
yon upon the dissecting tsble. The walls
of broken lava of which I hare been writ
ing are perhapa 300 feet high. The stones
are dark red and they are plied up In
regular masses, forming sltogether a i
whole an hundred time the volume of
our excavations at Panama. In other
places the volcsnoes have vomited aand.
Again they have thrown out deposits of
rock the size of a walnut, and still again
mighty bowlders of a seml-metalllo na
ture. Ail about these volcanoea of Bt. Peter
and St. Paul the scenery Is magnificent,

Close to the votranoea are the reser

of the continent, and the pipes, carrying
It down are 1M miles long. The reservoirs

down to the aeacoast Is through the des
ert. The only green spots are the rail
way stations watered by the pipe-line
from the reservolls above. The most Im
portant town Is I'yunl. It has about
COM) inhabitants, and It la the point
where the branch road, now building to
connect with the Argentine system, be
gins. Uyunl has also other roada to the
great tin and copper mines nearby, the
ore being shipped from there over the
main line to the sea
Some of tbe tin snd silver still come In
on the backs of Hamas, and that even
from Potosl, which is 12S miles away. The
llamas come In troops of 100 or more, and
take fifteen days on the Journey. A rail
way to that part Is almost completed. A
private railway connects I'yunl with the
mining town of Pulacayo, which has S.0w
Inhabitants. This Is the center for the
JIuanrhaca silver mines, now owned by
a French-Chilean company. The Huan
chaca mines are said to have given t j
the world near 5,'JUO tons of silver within
the last twenty-five years, and they nre
utlll yielding enormously. The company
uses electricity, getting Its force from the
Yura river, which has fall enough t
develop J.fluo , horsepower. The mines
have twelve miles of tunnels, and they
employ several thousand workmen.
doing up from I'yunl down to the roast,
we stopped at Ollague. where a branch
line runs off to the Cullaliuaal capper
mines, said to be among the richest In
South America. This branch line reaches
a height of 16. SOU feet; and that of Po
tosl, north of Uyunl, reaches an altitude

When a woman appears on the, tge.

point of the audience what brand of gar

sells It.
It Is merely a matter of showing the
exqulslteness of the style Independent of
the manufacturer or dealer. It Is to be
a theatrical play of tylish merchandise.
The arts of the play will be made up of
scenes In fashionable society, at fashion

running throughout.
Between the acts will be staged five

the Central Railroad of Peru, from where
I tobogganed down the Andes on a hand

than fifty feel. I understand that tho
line from I'yunl to the Argentine will
i rosa a pass of 16,000 feet. If so, It will
be the highest railroad of the world.

After writing a prescription the phyl

the physician to lend him the money.
The physician carefully scratched out a

back, with sixpence, remarking:
"Vou, can have that made up for six
pence. What 1 scratched out was for
your nerves."
