climate is dry. The natives are; sur
prisingly strong and many of them
thrfve on parched corn and water.
They can carry 75 to 100 pounds on
their backs all day. Making Panama

he will sell. There are large fam

"When I arrived at Guayaquil four
years ago last February. Captain

low fever, which filled nearly every
white person who was stricken. Amer

the fever was spread by a house mos
quito which was successfully combat
ed.
"Snakes 20 feet long and wildcats
are among the dangers which the
traveler in Ecuador may encounter,"
Mr. Patterson said. "The natives sell
large quantities of cocoa lienns and
another bean from which buttons are
made. Americans operate tho rail
roads.”
