Feb. 4-In view of popular intcret in the progress of the American battleship licet around South America and iu presence at Funta Arenas in the Strain of Magel lan, about which very little is gen erally known in the United States, the Director of the International Bureau of American Republicsjolm Barrett, who has visited this portion of South. America while United State Minister to Argentina, has prepared the follow ing statement: "Funta Arenas, where the American battlchit fleet is now making its wthird stop in its cruise around South America, is both a unique mid m- portant port. It is the southernmost "city in the world. Although located In a section which upon old maps ap peared to be a part of Patagonia and close to Tierra del I'ucgo, the sup posed home of wild men and canni bals, it is a growing, progressive and up-to-date town with a population of 15,000. It has wide streets, some of which arc well paved, several impos ing buildings, a number of fine resid ences, an opera house, clubs, a good system of electric lighting and water supply, and other modern character istics. 'Tunla Arenas has the distinction of being the capital of the Chilean ter ritory of Magcllanes. ; It is a free , port of entry for all vessels and it is ! hot an uncommon sight to see a score rf more of merchants steamers and nhins at anchor in its harbor. It is an i important coaling port for all boats passing from the Atlantic to the Pa cific. It has an increasing export rude in wool, hides and tallow. In 1905 these products to the value of $9,000,000 were exported. In the same year over 75,000 carcases of frozen meat were shipped to England, 'The country of Chile and Argentina In the vicinity of Punta Arenas, its .commercial entrepot, has had a de velopment in sheep and cattle rais ing not unlike that of the wesern sec tion of the United States. Where a few years ago the, maps represented the territory as being wild and unex plored, there are now great sheep and cattle ranges owned by Britishers and .....v.....

Creat companies have been started to develope the grazing facili ties and some arc yielding a yearly profit of 300 per -cent. Others have been purely speculaive and have brought disaster to those investing in them. In the one hundred miles reach of country from Funta Arenas to the Argentine frontier there are probably about 2,000,00 sheep and 20,000 head of cattle. "The Straits of Magellan reach pracically 315miles from the Atlantic to the Pacific, divided into two parts with the eastern somewhat longer ban the western. At Cape Froward, the dividing point, a turn at almost right angles is made. The widest portion is nearly 30miles, while the narrowest is barely one mile. Since the boundary setlenient between Chile and Argentina of 1881 the Straits of Magellan have belonged to the former country, but the waterway is not to be fortified and is always to be open to international navigation. "The climate is cool and bracing and it is Oic only place in South America where skating and sleighing can be engaged in for a considerable portion of the winter. Our fleet, however, will be there at the end of summer, inasmuch as the seasons south of the equator are just the re verse of those to the north. In other words A ii tii in is just starting in Punta Arenas. While slopping there the American sailors will have a chance to breathe bracing air full of ozone, and not only recuperate from the long trip down through the tropic but pre pare themselves for the equally long journey North across the equator be fore they reach California."

The Palace Restaurant The ever-increasing popularity of the Palace Restaurant is evidence of the good .management, and the serv ive, at this popular dining room. For a long time the reputation of the house has been of the best and it does not wane as time progresses. The system used, that of furnishing the finest the market affords, and all can be obtained, in season, is a plan that will always win, coupled as it is with the best of cooking and prompt service. A common saying nowadays is "Get the Palace habit." . TIMB CARD Astoria & Columbia River R. R. Co Efoctftre. Monday, September 1907 Pacific Time. Guy R.
