SOUTH AMERICAN LIFE-
The editor of the Palouse Oa
zttle publishes a letter recently re
ceiven from two young men of
that place who went to Buenos
Ayrcs last summer. The' say:
Vre arrived in Buenos Ayres on
the 1st of September, after a very
pleasant ocean voyage of forty
two days. From there we went by
mil and boat to San Nicholas, a
small city in the province of
Buenos Ajres, wheie we met with
a Mi. Crawford, a pioneer of this
country, who volunteered to ac
company us in our "travels, and
his company was very acceptable
lrom the fact that he could talk
Spanish and we could not.
We started from San Nicholas
by stage over as fine a country as
one would care to see. Stage
riding here is very exciting. We
started with eight horses hitched
to the stage (horses being saddled
instead of harnessed) by a rope or
chain fastened to a cinch ring and
only two lines, both on the lead
horses. It takes two men to run
such an outfit, one to drive and
the other to whip. We started at
a run, with the "engineer" apply
ing his whip at every jump, keep
ing up the gait for three leagues,
when one of the horses dropped
dead and another was caught from
off the grass and put in his place,
and on we went to Kosario, the
the NcwTork of the Argentine Re
public, and from there to San
Javier, a small village on the
banks of a river bearing the same
name, and arm of the great river
Parana, navigable to this point.
Here we find plenty of timber,
something we did not see in the
lower provinces, except occasion
ally an amboo tree. The trees
here are the algaroba and cobrat
cha, both fine timber for making
wagons and furniture, and the
man-de-y, which makes the finest
fence posts in the world; once put
in the ground the' never need re
setting. A few were taken up
here a short time since which were
planted over a hundred years ago,
and found in as good condition as
when first placed in the ground.
We find no saw mills here. In
their stead the whip saw is used.
Houses are generally made of
brick, still there is timber here for
all purposes if they only had
machinery to woik it up; but the
country is new as yet, and until
the California colony came here it
was inabited by Indians, El Padre,
the priest being the only white
man in the place; but Mooro and
his handful of followers not only
run them out of the country and
killed many of them, but caused
them and the goucli to have a
horror of the gringo, as they called
the foreigners. They are very
different from our Indians. Here
all they care for is to steal; there
they want blood.
The soil of Argentine is not
spotted as it is on the Pacific coast,
but the same all over, a rich black
sandy soil that will grow anything
you plant. Corn, wheat, oats,
barley and all kinds of fruits and
vegetables do well with the excep
tion of apples, which do not grow
as well as they do in Oregon and
Washington. Nowhere on the
Pacific coast can you find oranges
half j so good the natives almost
live on them. "
There is very little farming
done here, but what is done is well
paid for. Com brings $1 and
wheat $2 per bushel, but even
then people do not care to farm,
while cattle pay fifty per cent per
annum, and are no trouble or ex
pense. They don't have to put
up hay for winter as the grass is
green all the year round. We
arrived here during the dryest
season of the year and found the
grass as green as in the spring,
and people who have lived here
for years say they never saw it
dry.
-A- g"ng is exempt from tax for
five years. AIcLane, the manager
of the-California colony who came
here seventeen years ago, says he
has paid but one tax in that time.
He is quite an old man, but says
tour is the place for him, and that
it beats any part of California for
climate. Two years ago the
mercury indicated as high as one
hundred and five, and the people
haven't got over talking about it
yet. The nights are not sultry
here as they are in the eastern
states, but it has its drawbacks as
well as other countries. In the
swamps the mosquitoes prod a
fellow as he passes through
them. Once during the past seven
teen years the locust have de
stroyed the crops and even eaten
all the leaves from the trees.
We started with one of the colo
nists from San Javier to look at
the camp as they call it here
nine leagues away. We traveled
for seven days over the most
beautiful country it has ever been
my pleasure to see, just rolling
enough to please the eye of an
Oregonian, covered with grass
two feet high, and so thick that
the ground cannot be seen. Small
streams of water and groves of
timber here and there, and small
lakes on which fowl of every de
scription swarm. I saw more
deer in one day's travel than in all
my life before.
Land is offered for sale a mile
square for 400, or a league for
2,000. There are G,400 acres in
a league. Spanish miies are
longer than ours, and they calcu
late a league will support six
thousand head of cattle.
Our trip having cost us some
$200 more than we expected, we
are consequently short of money,
and not being acquainted with the
Spanish language, we are more or
less embarrassed, but we are grad
ually picking up the lingo of the
people, and traveling over the
country as best we can. Wages
are so low that an American
would starve to death trying to
work, and a man without capital
can do nothing here. One must
have money enough to buy a
league of land. They will give
time on part of the purchase
money; then a little start in cattle
and he is all right. If he hasn't
got that there's no use for him in
this country. If you or any of
our friends at home feel foolish
enough to advauce us money
enough to secure a league oi land,
I am satisfied that in five years we
can prove it to be a paying investment.
A Tribute to Dr. Whitman.
In the course of un article
"What Dr. Whitman did for Ore
gon," the editor of the Willamette
Fanner pays the following tribute
to the character of the pioneer
missienary:
Whitman was no boaster and
p never claimed superior credit for
his acts. He was intensely Ameri
can and a genuine patiiot. All
his life is a picture of self sacrifice
and self abnegation. It does
seem as if no man or woman
should be found to wish to di&par
age his memory, or fail to accord
him due praise for his tremendous
effort to secure American suprem
acy on the Columbia. It is useless
to argue whether a treaty could
have been compassed to transfer
this region to Great Britain. All
we claim is that British supremacy
was sought to be established by
bringing over an emigration to
create a majority of British sub
jects here," and that Gov. Simpson
was in Washington, trying to show
that there was no value to this
country; that no roads could bo
made to it, and that it was already
peopled with British subjects.
This Avas the case that Whitman
met. He heard the boasts of
British subjects, and he made that
mid-winter journey to warn the
administration at Washington of
all the facts, and piloted safely
across the largo emigration that
settled the question of supremacy,
to which ho was a good angel as
well as a guide. It was enough
for Whitman's memory to have
won the love, respect and grati
tude of the early pioneers that he
piloted across those unknown
-wilds. It is too much at this late
day, that he should be accused of
making that emigration pay him
for his services when there is full
evidence that he rendered such
serrice freely and without charge.
The local editor of the Butte
Miner vociferously calls upon the
teachers and parents to "take
steps to stay the pernicious prac
tice" of boys kissing the girls.
He says that at this season "people
are more or less affected by colds
and affections of the throat, and
disease may be communicated by
close contact, and inhaling of the
breath of a diseased larnyx and
membrane." G'way chile! what
are you giving us? What are the
boys here for but to take chances?
And who's going to be bluffed off
by a sore throat when a pair of rosy
lips are rolling themselves up like
cherries in autumn, and with a
take-it-if-you-dare blossom on
their coral curves, challenging
masculine humanity to osculation?
Boy, you're green! Ex.
The late Thurlow Weed is said
to have left a fortune of $1,000,
000 to $2,000,000, which he did
not, says theSt. Louis Republican
make in his vocation of journal
ism; it is the product of a dead-open-and-shut
transaction in
whisky. When, during the war,
the whisky tax was 60 cents a gal
lon, Mr. Weed's friend Seward
informed him that it bad been de
termined at a cabinet meeting to
recommend an increase to $2 a
gallon and Mr. Weed turned
this piece of contraband informa
tion to good account by forming a
combination which bought up all
the whisky it could reach, and
selling it at a profit of $1 a gallon.
