K
(Sp-cial Correspondonrp of j
The Uco.)-t have stopped iff '
at Kingston, on the Islam! of !
Jamalra, dn my way to Soith s
America. I am now In tho
center of the Caribbean sea. Two da' m
later I shall be at Panama, and within a
month I shall be amid the volcanoes and
snows on tho top of the And?. I am Just
Martins out on a tour of 25,000 mile
through our great sister continent, to
wrlto a series ot letters for The Omaha
Hee. I expect to visit the principal conn
tries of South America, golns down tho
west coast from Panama to Patagonia,
traveling for months In tho Andes, In
stlpatlns tho possibilities of the Soutn
American desert, and writing of ajl the
countries which face the Pacific. l.ntor
In the year 1 shall no around throush
the Strait ot Magellan, or over tho moun- j
tains to tho sreat republics which lie
on their eastern slopes, traversing tho
mighty plains and traveling up and down
tho principal rivers.
During this Journey I shall describe
tho countries as they aro today, and
the mighty changes now going on In their
civilization and Industrial development.
1 expect to travel over all tho new rail
roads, to describe the new factories und
mills, to go down Into the mines and to
show tho wonderful Increase and the.
enormous possibilities ot South American
trade.
C'nntlnrtit nt I h I.'ntnrr.
The new South America! Tho words
mnko my blood tingle when I think of Its
future. South America Is the' great unde
veloped world of the nineteenth century.
It Is the treasure vault of the universe
and tho mighty coming bread basket of
tho human race. Argentina alone could
supply tinough wheat to feed all mankind.
The plateuus of Bolivia and 11 rail I added
to Uruguay and the Argentine may In the
future be our chief sources ot meats,
and tho minerals of the Andes silver,
gold, cupper and tin are practically In
exhaustible. As lu cultlvatable land,
South America fur surpasses our own
continent, which lies at the north. North
America has the more square miles, but
n, vast part ot it Is all snow and Ice.
South America Is good all the way
through from Caracas In Venezuela to
Punta Arenas on tha Strait of Magellan.
The distance Is 4.CC0 miles, or as far as
from San Francisco to Japan. The coun
try Is flat from cast to. west. At Its
greatest breadth It Is COO miles wider
than the . United States from Boston to
San Kranelsco, and tho most of It con
sists of mighty plains so fertile that they
rival tha valleys of the Nile or the Ganecs
In their potential possibilities. ,
Sonic- III- TliluKa In Sooth America.''
Wc are accustomed to boast that we
have the greatest country on earth.
North America seems about the onl." big
tiling on our hemisphere and the United'
States, In our opinion, stands out us
prominently there as the boll on one's
none. Wo havo no conception of tho
immensity of tho vast continent which
lies at the south, nor of tho mighty coun
tries which iro there In the making. The
man on the rtrcnt thinks of Rraz',1 only
as a faroft locality, of minor extent,
from Where come the coffee ho drinks of
a morning and tho rubber tire which caeca
IIb motor car rhlo to hla uualneHs. The
truth Is lliazil Is so big that It could
cover- tho whole of' 'the United States
proppr as with h blanket and have, good
lands left over equal to ten elates the
size of Maine to tuck In around the edges.
Little Kcuador Is twice as big as Illinois.
Peru is ten times tho size ot Missouri,
and tho lowsho'estrlng' ot Chile; If laid
out in one block would more than equal
seven states as big as Ohio, Virginia or
Kentucky. Argentina has one-third as
much land as the United States and
noarly every foot of it will raise, gross,
grain or meat. Bolivia Is ten times as big
as tho whole of New England and Colom
bia Is bigger than France or the Spanish
peninsula.
The most of theso countries are white
men's countries. Even those which He
in the tropics havo vast tracts of land
( so high above the sea that their climate
; Is delightful all the year round. The
whole of central and eastern Brazil Is
ono vast plateau, and the southern part
of that 'country Is noted for cattle and
grain It Is so popular with tho Germans
that they have settled thcro by the hun
dreds of thousands. The country has
become known as AVest Dcutschland, and
it has German cities and towns, while
regular steamers from Germany call at
tho ports.
You might think that tho white man
coud hot live as far south as the Strait
of Magellan. That strait is 1.000 miles
farther south than Capo Town, in Africa.
It Is away down on the globe, below
Australia and New Zealand, and, never
theless, Its climate is so mild that cattle
and sheep can feed out' of doors there
all tho year round. Tho(grpat Inland of
Terra del Fucgo la now devoted to sheep,
and the whole country about Is a summer
resort", compared with the lands, of cen
tral Alaska. As to that part of South
America, I speak from personal experi
ence. I have been at tho Strait ot
Magellan In the heart ot midwinter, and
hav tramped around In the mud, trie
weather being so warm that there was
no frost In tho ground. I do not mean
to say that this Is so all the t.rne, out i

not "cut down the cot of our legs of

Is -no doubt that frdren meats can be

Starts on Tour of South America
1 t
The. famous b'riclgo of "the.
Zealand for London. The distance be
tween the two countries Is far greater
than that between New York and the
South Americans ports. Nevertheless,
tho meat sells readily In tho markets ot
Europe, and the same Is truo ot tho beef
which goes to London from the Argen
tine pampas. There Is no reason why
the vast sheep and rattle ranches of
southern South America should not aid
the supply of our American markets and
still less reason why wo should not get
can lb from the selvas of Venezula and
Colombia. I nm told that Bolivia, has so
many wild cattle that beeves sell In
parts of tho plateau for $2 or $3 apiece,
and that somo of the cattle are killed for
their hides and the meat thrown away.
Paraguay has fine pasture lands, which
are now sold by the squaro league and
somo of which are being exploited by
Amr.r.can capital, and tho same Is truo
of interior Brazil.
Tho bread possibilities of South America
nro almost equal to thosa of tho meats.
Argentina has potential wheat lands as
great as those of the United States and
Canada combined, and It now exports
thousands of tons ot grain every year to
tho countries of Europe. Uruguay la
sh'pplng grain, southern Brazil raises
wheat and Chile has vast cstanplas de
voted to tho cereals. There is probably
a great futuro for the highlands of tho
Andes as to the hardier varieties of such
products, and our Aiglculturai depart
ment has sent down experts to Investi
gate what can bo done. They nro also
going Into tho meat countries to report
to tho government on tho cattlo and
shtep and upon other foods which may bo
sent to tho United State. 1 expect to
make Investigations along tho same lines,
as well as to report upon what they
have found.
Neurit for tlir American Farmer.
Anothor part of my mission Is to de
scribe how farming 'Is ddho In Iho' vari
ous countries and to report upon new
grains and fruits' which may possibly
bo used in our country. Tho Andes
mountains aro the home ot the potato
and upon the plateau of Bolivia there
are many varieties which arc unknown'
in North America. Some of theso date
back to prehistoric days. The common
pcoplo ruled by the Incas were raising
"spuds" long before Ireland was thought
of and every tuber ot the potato variety
we eat has a geneaologlcal tree whose
roots are burled In the heights of the
Andes.
Further down the mountain the. people
havo a vegetable known as the yucca.
This Is a tuber with branches like an
underground Ueo and. there may be va
rieties equal to that which Luther Bur
bank found when a boy, and from that
discovery continued hla investigations to
fame and to fortune.
I want to Investigate the guano islands,
on the coast of Peru, and also go Into
the nitrate fields or the great South
American desert, which now so largely
supply the nitrogen for our American
farms. These deserts have already
yielded Bcvcral hundred million dollars'
worth of that fertilizer, and they are
now turning out nitrate of soda by the
billions of pounds. As it Is now, we are
taking one-fifth ot tho whelo product,
and there Is scarcely a llvo orchardlst
or market gardener In our country who
does not nourish his crops with plant
food from Chile. I want to go out into
the desert and visit the mines, and tell
you how the nitrates look In the ground.
As to the guano Islands, they are scat
tered along the Pacific coast some dls
tanco above where the nitrate, desert be
gins. They are frequented by millions
of birds, and the droppings from these
have already produced more than 12,000,
000 tons of manure as rich Is that o'f
your hen house.' They have brought
Into the treasure vaults of Peru some
thing over a billion gold dollars, and,
althouirh almost exhuusted, are still
leldlng guano.
Un ie ,,, of AnHm.
gome of niy most Interesting letters will
be from t)e toJ)8 of tne Andcg, j ehllIi
eco thcm t tnelr loweBt at the Culebra
out when I pass through the canal, and
I shall be near where they are highest
In south Chllo when I climb the slopes
of Mount Aconcagua, whose peak Is more
than four mtleb above the sea. During
my last visit to South America I traveled
by railroad over a pass In tho Peruvian
Andes which was higher than Mont
Blanc, and I shall now be able to cross
the Andes by rail In several other plr.ces,
and make my way for some distance,
down their east slopes. Americans have
recently built a railroad in Ecuador that
will bring me close to the volcanoes of
Cotopaxl and Chlmborazo, and on the
highlands of Bolivia I shall visit Surata
and Illlmanl, whose snowy peaks aro
nearer the sky than any In North Amer
ica outside Alaska. A great part of the
Andes Is volcanic, and I shall likely be
able to describe a volcano In action.'
An Interesting part of this Journey will
be In the footsteps ot the Incas. I shall
see their old highway In Kcuador In
Quito, and shall travel over It later In
Cuzco near the City of tho Sun. That
toad was built long before there was a
paved highway In any part of the North
American continent, and I am told that
parts ot It are In good condition today.

Queer Indians from
with a view to new discoveries as to road
material for our United States high
ways. It wan at Cuzco that the Incas had
their capital and there they worshiped
the sun In a temple which was roofed
with 'gold plate. It was from that region
that Pizarro and the Spaniards got their
shiploads ot gold and silver, and It Is be
lloved that, vaut quantities were secreted
by the Incas and burled In lakes and
qthcr out-of-the-way places. 1 am told
that thero are many traditions as to
where these lost treasures lie. I shall
report upon these through my Indian In
terpreter, and I hopo to glvo some idea
ot the possible localities.
I shall also write about the actual llvo
treasure vaults ot tho highlands. I shall
go through the mining regions and show
something of the big things now going
on. The Andes are peppered with sil
ver and gold from the Isthmus to the
strait, und of late several of tho repub
lics have been exporting vast quantities
of copper and tin. A large percentage
of ali the tin now used In tho world
comes from Bolivia, and the copper mln'ss
there are Just at their beginning. Many
of the old silver mines of the Andes are
now yielding copper. This is so of Cerro
do Pasco, which Is now being operated
by American capital, and also of the
silver mountains at Potosl In Bolivia.
As to gold, Bolivia Is one ot the treasure
vaults of the universe. It has already
yielded over $1,000,000,000 In gold, and It
Is said to have tin enough to supply the
word In some parts of the Andes thcro
are also precious stones. Colombia gives
us our most beautiful emeralds, nnd
Brazil was the chief source of our dia
mond supply before the great mines of
South Africa came to be known.
Indiana of HontU America,
Another field of Investigation will be
the Indians of South- America. We are
prone to look upon our land as the chief
home of the red man. The truth Is, the
United States was never thickly popu
lated before the white man came, and
Its Indians never surpassed In number,
It Is said, more than 000,000. Some au
thorities put the population at 23I.0Q0.
South America has alwayH had mltllcvis
of Indians, and they are of as ' mafiy
different kinds as we have peoples In
America. There wen tho Incas, who
wero highly civilized, and who were the
ruler of many other tribes, somo of
whom served as hewers of wood and
drawers ot water. In the north lived
the Chlbchas, who had an organized gov
ernment and considerable civilization.
They were skilled weavers, dyers and
potters, and they had paved highways
and suspension bridges. They lived In
houses and erected temples and were also
expert at tilling the soli.
In southern Chile were the Araucanlani,
a tribe so brave, It Is said, that It has
never been conquered, and In northern
Peru or Ecuador wero the Caras, another
warlike tribe which had a high civiliza
tion. Today the descendants of these In
dians are mostly In servitude. I shall uet
tome ot them in the plateau ot Bolivia,
In the Aymaras who use llamas as their
beasts of burden nnd who raise the al
pacas front which wo get the fine wool
at thut name. In Paraguay I shall see
the Gunaranls, who have mixed with tho
iil tea and become largely civilized and
who now own fnrms and ranches, and in
Patagonia 1 may ome Into contact with

( men, many nt whom are over six feet
und ot mighty proportions.
In addition to theso there aro savage
tribes in tho Paraguay apd Amazon ba
sins, many of whom go almost naked and
foino of whom nro dead hunters. I have
had chances to buy heads cured by these
Indians several times before on my trav
els, and I am told that one can get n
human head, shrunk to the slzo of a fist.

Ills; Cities of South America.
When I traveled over South America
fifteen years ago tho biggest town on tho
continent was not larger than tho Balti
more of today. Since then many of the
cities havo been Increasing more rapidly
limn any United States municipality, and
now there aro two cities of over 1.000,
000. The largest Latin city of the world
la Buqiioh Ayrcs, the capital of Argen
tina, and there are few places In the
world which compare with It in richness
und beuuty. At the last census it was
larger than Philadelphia, and It Is now
estimated to contain more than 1,500,000.
At Its present rato of growth It will soon
surpass Chicago, and it promises to be
ono of the most neautlfu cities of tha
hemisphere. Within the last few years
tens ot millions at dollars have been
spent upon city Improvements. The con
gested business sections havo been cut
through to mnko wide avenues, and mag
nificent public buildings have been
erected. The city has one nowspnpor
building which is said to have cost 15,000,-
000 and It has fine residences and palaces
galore.
Illo de Janeiro has now more than a
million population, and It has within a
very few years spent more than $10O,O,
CO0 on municipal Improvements. It has
taken advantago of our health work nt
Panama, and has wiped out every vestlgn
of yellow fever, so that It Is now as safe
for the traveler as any town of the world,
Santiago do Chile is growing, and Its
famous public park, situated on a llttlo
table mountain In tho heart of the e'.ty,
Is one of the wonders of landscape gar
dening, Montevideo Is a gem, and thero
are other cities which can give points to
us in modern civic improvements and In
municipal government.

It would take more than a letter to
oven mention the natural wonders of
the 8outh American continent. There is
no mountain system except tha Him
alayas which compares In grandeur with
the mighty Andes, and there is no river
which Is equal In volume and in Its vast
number of navigable tributaries to the
Amazon. South America has the highest
lakes In the world. Take Titlcaca, which
lle.1 between Peru and Bolivia. That
lake Is two miles straight up In the air
above' the level of the sea, and It Is
as big as Lake Erie. It has snnw-cappd
mountains about it, and Its Islands are
filled with the ruins of unknown civili
zations. The falls of tho I'urana In
eastern Brazil aro bald to surpass the
Niagara In their wonderful features, and
the branches of tha Amazon have cas
cades almost unknown.

Do you consider yourself
a failure as an advertiser?
"The men who fail, really don't adver
tise they just experiment and putter
around a little. It is ridiculous to judge
the value of advertising by ignormntly dab'
bling in the thing and spending ten,
twenty or a few hundred dollars."
These are the words pf Artemus
Ward, the man who made a fortune from
his success in advertising Sapolio.
There are a great many men, who
try advertising like the small boy, who
digs up the grains of corn he has planted
to see if they are growing. They stop
advertising before they have had time to
really make a start.
Some people seem to think that there
is something mysterious about advertis
ing and obtaining results from adver
tising. There is nothing more certain in
the world than the effect of advertising.
It merely causes people to know and, if
continued sufficiently long, to remember
what you say to them about your goods.
This is a certainty, proved beyond ques
tion. The uncertain element is whether
you can show the public a real advantage
in the goods, the prices, or the service you
offer. If you have no advantrges to
offer, this is a good tme to go out of busi
ness. If you have advantages, you can
not fail to gain by letting people know
about them.
We can help you analyze your selling
problem or assist you with copy.
