A TOWN NEAR LAND'S END
Continent'i Extremity.
FECULIAILITIES OF PUNTA ARENAS
""'li roof, Miid every one of tbeni wai of a
imle jilnk rolor when the writer was there
Naturally. Die sailors will want a closer
.' ' t view of a town with urli colors, and their
Stopping Place Of Battleship Fleet at I anxiety to laml will be the (creator if they
i have haopeneti to hear that II a supply
I town for some thousands of square mile
of sheep pasture, thf home town of some
liunijreds of Hold nilneiu. and a place that
was largely peopled by 'sailors lulled from
Aie.i i lean saU rs.
If they land cxpeitlng co find a town
with the characteristics of a mine camp or
a shepherds' resort, or a sailors' port of
call in the l'nlted Slates, however, they
will be dlhappolnted. Thus while the pop
ulation Is raid to number 2MV, besides the
floaters from the pampas and the sea,
there was, when the writer was there, only
one iiiueic hall In the town, and that a
saloon with a hand orgaa which a young
Woman ground during the evening to draw
customers. The only place where' any
gambling waa done was at a private club.
Still, one Joy which some sailois seek
when on shor was to. be had In any
breadth and depth deHirHl; there were
nearly lot "stores" licenced to hell yiiuors,
and nearly all of them employed barmaiJa
in the. English fashion. It was the custom
for these barmaids to sit at the doorways
of the barrooms during the day, and s.-w
or knit especially Knit; but it la not unrea
sonable to .suppose thai trada would be
brisker while the fleet U there If the bar.
"maids were to r"jaiii . well within the
tores or wore veils. Only In tus liiiinod

Drlvr Trade.
Puntit Arenas, the next stopping place of
i the American battleship fleet in Us voyage
to the Pacific, Is a town with a history,
which John K. Spears, a sailor-author who
haa been there, dcacribes In the New York
Kvenlng I'oat. It is located at the eaalern
entrance to the Straits of Magellan. Four
brtaJI streets run from the beach up the
ioM of the lilllalde, on which the town is
built. Within the town limits, says Vtr.
Sperrs. every street is well filled, and
fvery liouao that can be seen from the
ahlpa la covered over with galvanised sheet
Jron roofing. The side walls lv of the
houses all aeem to be covered with tha
same glaring .metal, it Is a sight to make
the sinu .lain owners of Jopliu, Mo., swelj
ith Joy. for no other town of the siie in
11 the world lias dona as much as this one
for their industry.
Of courae, nnn owners have painted
ir bouutaj Oivt sees nearly a score of
Areras like an American mine camp or
frontier town.
A Settlement, of Flowers.
There is one feature of the town, how
ever, that la altogether beautiful. Punta
Arenas Is in the latitude of Labrador. The
writer was there in May, a month corre
sponding to the northern November, but
the houses were radiant with flowers.
Kvery house In town had window gardens
filled with growing beauties, while such
house yards as were to be found were dec
orated in like manner. .What the sailors of
the fleet will see In the midsummer month,'
during which tiny aro to arrive, one may
Imagine. For Us flowers, a.s well as for Its
wealth of linc-eovrede iran, Puhta Arenas
Is certainly the most remarkable town on
the continent.
The sailors whowamhr aruund the sub
urbs will ttnd something of inltrest. Las
Mlnas Creek Is not too far away for a
vlalt to the woi ked-ovi r golden sandj. An
abardoned railroad that leads to an aban
doned hole in the ground will be seen. A
company of capitalists built the road, fjve
miles lurg. to carry, coal from the moun
tains to the beach, but when the road waa
finished they found that the supposed coal
was lignite,, which steamships could nit
use. The cemetery may also Interest some,
for in the midst of it is a tall piece of a
ship's mast, erected to keep in memory
a number of sailors who were killed when
a British warship at anchor In the offing
was blown out of water, no one knows how.
When they have seen the sights, it Is
reasonably certain that every man of tha
shore parties will hunt up the curio ahopa.
They will find the skin of guanacos, pan
thera and foxes In numbers, together with
Indian weapons, baskets and other Im
plements. Of made-up rutca the supply
will be altogether insufficient. The In
dians' do not bring In. enough to supply
the ordinary trade, not to mention the de
mand of 13.OU0 Yankee sailors. This is
not to say that the ordinary demand for
rugs la unsupplled. The curio dealers hire
half-breed Indians living In the settlement
to make up the raw fufa Into rugs such as
the ,-trade demands. Of course, these rugs
are of Indian make In a way. The writer
saw a half-breed squaw carrying a bundle
of the rugs ,to a dealer. Her face showed
Iter blood, but sha was clothed In a tailor
made gown and her hair was banged.
When . a tourist buys Indian goods, he
wants those made by. the wild or pampas
Indians siiuaws who do riot wear tailor
made gowns and bang their hair.
"How can ' a' tourUt tell a paxnpas rug
from-ono made in. town?" ' a trader waa
asked.
"That's easy," he replied. "Smell of the.
goods. Goods from the pampas or islands
always " The reader who knows blanket
Indians can Imagine the remainder of tho
reply.
It is possible, but not probable, that the
sailors will see, as they paas through the
strait, soma of the unfortunate aborigines
that inhabit' the smaller inlands at the
south the . Yahicans. These Indiana were
out a powerful tribe of most distress-full-looking
people, for they were alays
seen paddling to and fro, nearly naked,
though In tho midst of snows and ice.
The Native Stork.
But in fact they were most cheerful
they lived as happy Uvea as any of the
red American hava ever lived, for when
wild they were healthy, well fed, and Jo
vial. They were always laughing and Jok
ing. They even had an oral literature.
With vivid imagination they invented tales
that astonished the good missionaries who
first went among them. The art of the
red novelist waa remarkable. Unfortun
ately, some of tho tales were of the sly,
unprintable kind, wherein the thought of
the listener supplies the point, and not the
direct words of the story teller.
The missionaries told the Indians that
such tales led straight to eternal perdi
tion. The Indians were also told that kill
ing the white men who wanted to come
among them as traders was also soul-de-alroylng
for the slayers. Hut the Indian
habit of selling the young squaws for
wives was not eradicated, and tho simple
minded savages, once tho traders were free
to come among them, sold their daughters
for wives, aa they supposed, to the white
men. And these white men were sailors
and proectors In some Instances the
aoum of the earth. 'Hie story of the Yah
gans la heart-breaking, for of the 3,ouu
sturdy savages who once kept tho white
tradersauut of .the t'apo Horn waters there
remain less than one hundred of diseased
wrntchea every adult of whom can res
pond to the litany, and repeat, parrot-fash
ion, the printed prayers, of the Established
Church of Great Hritaln.
The Strait Iteglon.
As a final word alMut the straits region,
let it bo said that the dangers with whluh
it is supposed threaten the fleet have been
greatly exaggerated. The whirling wind
aciuulls and currents assaulting It, a sall
the world. The currents are mighty. With
stiualls and currents assaulting her, a sail
ing ship In tho strait Is "between the
devil and tho deep aea." But merchant
steamships cargo carriers having engines
of low power pass through the strait
every week In the year. Even the high
pooped, bluff-bowed, ill-rigged galleons of
Spain mado shift to work their way regu
larly through the straits region in the days
after the buccaneers painted ' the Panama
route a bloody red. To one who la proud
ofitlio American navy, and is, familiar with
the cargo carriers yf the Magellan Hues, it
Is humiliating to read of the fearsome
"perils" that will beset the battle fleet.
Let the relatives of the 13.000 good seamen
of the fleet sleep In peace. For the ships
will weather the "wllllwaws" and dodge
the kelp-buoyed rocks as easily as they
caped tha shoal of Crartey Island.
Ubaderful Stamp Storr.
A stingy old maid dropped two postage
stamps Into the contribution box. They
were 2-cent adheslves which she had
soaked off a letter leceivrd by her grand
father from a friend In British Guiana In
KM. The minister, knowing some'hlng
ii.ir-6. in
hands at
