After a four months' trtp through South Africa on a general Inspection ef th coffee district. A.

Peru and other countries whtn scenic attract ion and business enterprise ara found ef tataraat to American merchants. Mr. Ixrtrt reported tb trip to have been a moet wonderful one to blm. He left Near lor Hay 24 on the steamer Vaaarl and sailed direct to Eahla. Breali. Ha went through the largo tobacco fartortea and aampled clears and other manufactured tobacco for which the district la noted. Prorress has not touched the docks of Bahia," aald Mr. Devers yesterday. Th city la quaint and ancient In ap pearance and the dock are still crude. luVl Seeaery Maa-alftreat. "At Klo Da Janeiro I found magnl flcent scenery. The city Is well sup piled with beautiful avenues and Is. undoubtedly, one of the cleaneet and most sanitary cities lo the world. If there were any dirt or nnaanltary con ditions, a ride or walk through the streets did not reveal It. I took a trip to the Corcovad. and TIJuca Mountains and saw soma magnificent tropical scenery. "From Rio I went to Santos, the great coffee center of Braall. From Santos Is ahlpped 0 per cent of the cof f of braall and braail furnlahea aO per cent of the coffee of the world. Tbs docks there are fine an! are up-to-date la every particular. They are of steel and concrete. The warehouses along the docks are of steel. I went back Into the cof fee-arowtna; district and atudied the ayatem of growing, picking, carina and salting the berries and was very greatly plessed with all I aaw. I be.lrve one of the beat railroads In the world la the Sao Paulo line which runs along the rivers and through the moun tain a Vast sums are expended In per fecting road bed and In other Improve, meats. -It. A." Great City. , "From Santos I went to Buenos Aires which la the largest city In South America. There 1 found the flrat really rood hotel 1 struck on the trip. The atreeta of the city are copied from Paris and the general appearance Is Imposing-. Beautiful public buildings are found in large numtrt. A feature of Buenos Aires Is Its hors racing. Two track are run by the municipality and everybody attends, even on Sunday. The profits of the belting go to the Government. "From Buenos Aires I went across the mountains on the Trans-Andean railroad to Valparaiso and nearly froie to death en route. That was In July which Is mid-Winter. The can are narrow and cold. Valparaiso Is a rather unattractive city, bultt In a very Incon venient place. The result of the earth quake can atlll be seen on the streets. "The next stop waa at Cal'.ao, the port of Lima. Th city la very attractive but, unfortunately, w got tnere at a bad time. It waa during the Peruvian national holidays and the moat heart rendering muale In the world made the atop rather uncomfortable. It waa made more so by mountain fever which w contracted on a trip Into the mountalna. In a few houre' travel we reached an elevation of l.0 feet. Rnnanae were growing as high as 500 feet up and rood paaturage could be found up to 11.000 feet. Baalaeaa Matties;. He Sara. "After considerable time In that dls tr'ct I went to Panama and after look ing over th big ranal returned to New Orleans and thence to Philadelphia, where I remained a short time before coming on to Portland. la a business way South America Is prospering. Th only fault I hare to find Is that American merchants are not taking advantage of the oppor tunities The outh Americans are ex tremely friendly with Americans and it would be an easy matter for American merchants to get busy In the South. In Braxll and other countries there Is a noticcsble lack of competition and the bualneaa can be had by America If the business men will go after It." NORTH END CASES FAIL So Far Women Raided llsrape Con viction In Police Court. Flat failure of the police to obtain convictions In th score of cases now pending, growing out of ralda made In the underworld In the last ten days. Is Indicated by tbe trend of events In the Mualclpad Court up to the preeent- No sonvtctions have yet ben obtained, while several dismissals have been granted, and the bulk of th caaes are held under advisement. Several causea contribute to th con dition mhlch exists. One la the fact that the denlxena of underworld have been lying low. either at their own Ini tiative or on a tip. Overt acta re ported by th policemen who mad th raids were very few. and th city at tempted to obtain convictions simply on th fame of th houses and th appear ance of tbe women themselves. Frank admission of th defending attorneys of the character of their clients waa mad In many cases, but back of It waa a demand for the showing of overt acta, and In most Instances th city wss not able to comply. Trials will be held this afternoon and perhaps tonight, and by them th court hop to hav all th caaea under advisement, and to glv a decision on all of them. Y. W. C. A.

Manager Baker saw a large woman, who, appeared to be standing on a seat, waving her arms wildly and screaming at ths top of her voice. The audience started a rush tor her and for a moment a panto seemed Inevitable. Tearing his way through ths crowd. Mr. Baker discovered that.

Eistiteen Garden DT Northern California there are many large ranches, some twelve miles square, some noted for size, others for fertility of soil, others for climate. The famous Bidwell ranch - at Chico, Butte County, has all these things and many more. It is proved by what it has produced and by what you can see growing there today. It has 18 feet of garden loam, tillable every day in the year. "Water by underlying channels giving an inexhaustible supply of moisture. There are orchards of trees in-full bearing plums, prunes, apricots, almonds, olives and nectarines. There are splendid vineyards of table grapes and . wine grapes. There are all kinds of , berries and small fruits. Feet Loam There are gardens of Casaba melons (from the balmy climate of the Adriatic Sea.) The largest oak tree in' the world stands on the. Bidwell ranch covering 7-10 of an acre. There are walnut and cherry trees of unequaled size. All these things in actual existence prove the fertility of the soil and the equable climate. r To see the land . its crops ' is the most convincing argument.
