IN ARGENTINE BEPUBLIC
Hfis Cemtua Now Vbitwi There Tells
Something of rte Coeotry.
Buenos Aires Argentine Republic
South America Mareh 27. 1905.
Ο E. Dunlap. E*q.. Waxabachie
Texas U. S. A. Dear sir—
Knowing that you will be interest-
ed in hearing something from a sis-
ter republic far to the south of ours
I enclose some information which I
have gathered since our arrival some
two months ago.
Our voyage of twenty-seven days
across» <ix thousand miles of the deep
blue sea from Xew York here was
not nearly so monotonous as we an-
ticipated. considering that we only
had one stop of a few hours at Mon-
tevideo We had however some
fairly congenial fellow passengers
who assisted much in passing the
time.
The morning after our arrival at
Buenos Aires we were awakened by
the loud and continuous cries of the
news boys about the hotel ami were
later informed that a revolution had
broken out during the night. To us
this wa= rather < xciting. considering
that during the day we could see in-
fantry and cavalry rushed through
the city to one of the railway stations
This ail went to confirm our previ-
ously formed opinion of all South
\merican republics the opinion held
generally I believe by the majority
of the people of the United States.
It was learned in a few days how-
ever that the revolution consisted
only of a mutiny of several compan-
ies of soldiers in one of the western
provinces of the states the governor
of which had an ambition to tie presi-
dent of the republic. It was prompt-
ly quelled by the government some
few of the revolutionists being kill-
ed while the others have been dealt
with rather severely since. This is
the first attempt at revolution in this
country in lifteen year#
The Argentine Republic i. a
country very rich in resources and
about which very much could he
written It is situated in the south
temperate zone with a climate verv
similar to ours for diversity and with
soil equally as rich. It extends over
a greater distance north and south ι
than the I'nited States The moun-
tains in the extreme southern part
are snow capped the year round
while in the northern province» or
states orann^s bananas ribbon tune
rice and other tropical crops are'
grown in abundance. Cotton In
never been grown to any grr;tt «s.
tent by the Argentines b it is r«>< H-.
in g more attention bow as it ; found
that the northern provinces are well
suited to its growth. Wheat how-
ever is flu* principal crop grown lot-
export Argentina being the third
country in the world in the exitort
of wheat The total export of wheat
corn and linn seed amounts to ui<> *
than one hundred and seventj-five
million dollars gold per annum. Of
the two hundred and fifty million
acres of land in Argentina suitable
for agriculture only about twenty-
two million acres or less than 1*» pet-
cent Is under cultivation so it is
readily seen that the possibilities of
the country in this line are just
beginning ο !»·· known
The stock raising interest is the
largest There are some v«-r> weal-
thy ranch people in the repuhlii
From statistics at hand 1 find that
to compare Argentina with the
i'nited States in horses cattle and
sheep that she has mon.» than one-
third as many horses two-thirds as
many cattle and hits more sheep than
any country in the world.
The export of cattle and of frosten
meats ot England and other markets
is very great in fact l am told that
the price of meat flour and wool in
England is controlled to a certain
extent by the success or failure of
crops in Argentina. This is destined
to be one of the great fdod producing
countries of the world.
By comparison In size Argentina
is as large as all the I'nited States
east of the Mississippi river with the
Dakotas Minnesota and Iowa includ-
ed.
The seasons of the country being
the reverse of those of the States
ùe summer months are December
funwary and February and during
hie time ail kinds of fruit baa been
abundant. Many grapes are groyn
md much wine made and much need
is the dinner table of an Argentinian
la net complete without wine of
some *ort The custom of the coun-
try is to eat only two njeals per day.
When you get up in the morning you
are given a cup of tea with β small
bit of toast or hard bread then at
eleven o'clock or half past breakfast
is served. Then again at three
o'clock you get another enp
of tea and the dinner hour is any-
where from six to eight o'clock in the
evening.
Buenos Aires the capital of the
Republic is a hustling business city
of one million population and
thoroughly modern in most respects.
It is to the Argentine Republic and
South America what New York city
is to the United States and North
America from a commercial etand-
point.
The shipping docks on tht La
Plata river adjoining the city are
owned by the National Government
and have cost many millions of dol-
lars. They are classed' among the
beat in the world and 1 am told
there are about four thousand steam
ships plyinp at regular intervals be-
tween this port and all parts of th«
world.
The constitution of the National
Government is based ou ours the
president being elected for six in-
stead of four years The system of
taxation does not seem as simple an
ours for example a four wheeled
vehicle is taxed twice the amount of
a two-wheeled vehicle without ref-
erence to its value otherwise. As a
consequence you seldom se»» a four-
wheeled farm wagon all being built
on two wheels as also are the bug-
gies. Some of these two-wheeled
wagons or carts are built to carry
four and five ton loads of wheat
The public free schools of the He- j
public are richly endowed and edu-
cation is compulsory between the
ages of seven and fourteen years j
There are stair niid iiàtioUul univer-
sities all of which are free.
The National Bank ("Banco del
Nacion") has one hundred am! I
twenty brandies throughout the lie |
public and is owned and controlled!
by the Government There are of]
course many private batiks and in j
this city there aie branch banks of
several of the larger ones in lxindon !
and Paris. The paper currencj of!
the country ha* a fixed value of fort; !
four cents on the doliai gold The
banks generally are prosperous pay- ;
ing large dividends and I am told h
the United States Consul here that1
there Is a splendid opening for a
strong institution from the Slates j
with propei connection in New York!
ι in in fact. I think there is sont»
good openings here in other line* for!
enterprising State»; people or yank<·<*>·
as we are all known outside the!
States. Spanish is the prevailing j
language and it I* necessary to j
speak It to get along well In an» lin»' j
With best wishes I am.
Yours very truiv
C M LANCASTER
In » personal note Mr i^ncaster]
adds that his wife «ill sail for En» :
land about May 1. that be will fol
low in June and after touring the
continent will return to Texas about |
August.
