The region Is abundantly watered. Every fewmiles a river or creek Intersects the forest, butIn the dry season all but' the largest of thesefall. It Is where.the Interval between streams IsunuBunlly great, say, seven or eight miles, thatthe monte glvos way to open graBslnnd. Theslope of the ground and the porosity ot the noilInsure perfect drainage, and there is an entire ab-sence of swamps, save for the Inevitable manglarestrips along the coast'

When tho development of Chlriqul .shall havefairly set In, irrigation will surely become an Im-portant factor In tho agricultural Industries. Goodreservoir sites are plentiful, and the lay of theland la perfectly suitable to the installation ofsimple'. Inexpensive gravity systems. I.

The climate of this section Is subtropical andsomewhat like that of Florida'. The mean tem-perature is about 76 degrees F.. and tho extremevariations do not exceed IS per cent in either di-rection. The heat of the day is usually temperedby nreezes, and the night Is cool at all tlmea. Thedry season extends over the first four months ofthe year, and recurs for a few weeks In Septemberand Octc^r. During the remaining period there isalmost tSTy rain which seldom extends throughmgre than three or four hours In any 24, and ispreceded and followed by clear weather. Exces-sive humidity Is of rare occurrence. Destructivestorms, hurricanes and tornadoes are virtuallyunknown. .. " '

The climate la distinctly favorable to man anilbeast. Few diseases, if any, are attributable'to i fThe inhabitants; of .Cblrlqul enjoy exceptionallygood health, and this statement applies to thenatives of Europe and America, ot whom there

i are a number settled In "the" province.In the past 20 years, and perhaps much longer,

no epidemic disease has appeared among men oranimals In the province. Cattle are-'singularlyfree from the complaints which commonly af-flict thorn elsewhere. Pleuropneumonla and anth-rax have never been heard of. Blackleg oncemade Us appearance, but was readily checked byvaccination. '

The land In this portion of Cblrlqul Is of agenerally level character, with, a gentle, but con-stantly prevailing slope toward the ocean. Thellanos,may.he traversed In any direction by thelightest vehicles with the ease which would be ex-perienced In crossing a lawn. Cart roads areeasily constructed through the forest stretches.In many, coses nothing more being necessary thanto clear the monto and remove rocks and thelarger stones. The existing roads maintain com-munication bctweenall centers of habitation.and"are quite equal to the requirements of any trafficwhich they may be called upon to support torsome years to come. They are not macadamlted,but the natural material ot which they are com-posed is such as to pack well and erode but lit-tle. I have seen extremely heavy downpours ofrain run oft them without miring. It may be re-peated that the drainage ot the, entire section un-der consideration Is perfect "','•'•.-'

In the Divala country all nohfordable streamsare bridged. .Telegraph and telephone wires con-nect all the principal points. Extensive Improve-ments are being carried out, which will affect thehighway system and other means of Intercom-munication. ,

schedule time of 30 hours between Panama andDavid, and an extension of the run to PuntaArenas, Costa Rica. -

It Is needless .to say that after the opening ofthe Panama canal the facilities of Chlrlqulan prod-ucts for water transportation will be greatly In-creased.

There Is but one point upon the Pacific littoralof Panama at which vessels can approach theshore at low tide. This la a sea bole about eight'miles from Divala. It Is sheltered by the pro-montory of Punta Uurica and thus lies In a nat-ural harbor, A port could easily be establishedat Chorea Azul, or "Blue Pool," as the sea bole Inquestion Is called, and it would become the out-let for the exports ot the Divala country and apoint at which stoamers could call without anyunusual delay. - , .

A railroad has been surveyed from Panama toDavid and will without doubt be constructed inthe near future. It Is probable that this line willultimately be extended to Bocas del Toro on theAtlantic coast. ' ' .

Stock raising Is the principal Industry of Chl-riqul, and there are In the province more cattlethan In all the rest of the ropublio's territory.There cannot be more than 50,000 head, all told,In Panama. Six or eight large ranches will ac-count tor nearly half the number, the remainder -

. being scattered In small ownership.-r- The domestic supply of "beef fallsfaJTshort of *the demand. Large quantities are shipped fromtho United States to the canal commission, themarkets ot Colon and Panama, as well as to thedepot of the United' Fruit company at Bocas delToro. This concern has tried Ineffectually to con-tract with ranch owners ot Chlriqul for 200 heada month. About two years ago a representativeor a packing company went through the provincewith a view to determining whether it would befeasible to establish a packing house there tosupply the canned-beef trade of the west coast otSouth America. He soon determined ..that the >available cattle would not keep a small factoryrunning constantly.

Nevertheless, there Is Ian* in the republic thatwould sustain 6,000,000 head of cattle. There Isno better country for economical cattle raising.. 'One acre of Its potrero will fatten a steer, where-as three acres of our westertTgrailng land is re- 'quired to support one .But the. soil. of..Panama__has not yet been touched by a plow and, althoughcattle raising Is the,most advanced of the coun-try's Industries, the scope for improvement In the

• methods of conducting it Is extremely greatTbo llanos are the public "commons," upon

which any'man Is free to range his stock. Prob-ably 30,000 head, in herds seldom exceeding 16, r~are pastured on these plains through the rainymonths, during which the herbage is ample tokeep the animals.In good condition, though notsufficient to fatten them. . \... :

The llanos, or open'grazing lands, are not'sale-able, nor alienable In any manner. There wouldbo no Inducement, to purchase Hanoi except in the

. case of a large cattle owner who might design torange cattle in connection with potrero fatten-*ing, otter the present method of our ~f-ytern coun-try. Such a man would require a l aM extent of"commons" for his.'.purposes. TheVonly landworth having that Is purchasable from the govern-ment is that covered with "monte.*1 The, reasonfor this is that- wherever there is sufficient mols- <ture to make the land cultivable such heavygrowth will be found. The llano occurs wherethe Interval between streams Is unusually greatBni the land-depends entirely upon rainfall For 'lUi,moisture, in that case It will support none bat

- the scantiest -vegetation In theory season. \ Crops-conld be raised on such a oundf satlarAOtortr/onlx^'

retain It for a long time. Guinea grass grows toseven feet and over. The objection to It Is thatthe cattle are apt to eat only' about half the leaffrom tho top, leaving the remainder in a stoolwhich baa to be cleared at the end ot the season.On the other hand. It has the advantage over paraof retaining greater vitality during the dry weath-er. OUlnea and para must be planted. They can-not be sown with effect for while they readily dis-seminate themselves the seeds will germinate onlywhen gathered at perfect maturity. ','

Savoya Is more spreading than guinea grass and,does not grow to as great a height It stools likethe latter, but not with as much waste. CattlemuBt be put to savoya In good season, for they willnot touch It In flower^ j __

"'"" With" these fodder plantsTine cattle raisers ofChlriqul obtain good results, the average steeryielding 400 pounds of meat but there Is no doubtthat fattening-might be contrived on more effectiveand economical lines.' \^__

Alfalfa should grow vigorously In many parts ofthe province, where the loose sandy character ofthe soil 1B admirably calculated' to promote thedeep-rooting habit of the plant At least two cropsof alfalfa could be secured during the rains and

- with Irrigation a third In the dry season.With a view to the-Introduction of alfalfa ^

Panama I sent, about two years ago, several pack-. ages of selected seed Jo_jChirtqul_Md_the^canaL

zone, but there Is every reason to believer that Itdid not receive proper treatment, and noconclusivededuction canl be drawn from the experiment

It- would seem that resorts should be madet,toother forage crops than the grasses. If the landdesigned for potreros, or certain portions of it,were plowed over and'sown in cowpeas, velvetbeans, and other leguminous plants, better resultswould doubtless bo secured, especially It this foodshould be balanced with a proper quantity ofstarchy matter^ such as cassava. Such a regimenwould produce a heavier grade of stock in a short-er time than is possible under the present methodof fattening. • • . •

The by-products of the redaction of sugar caneand cocoanuts, bagasse and press cake, respective-ly,,are excellent fatteners, and under certain cir-cumstances should be plentifully available. .•

There Is room for much Improvement in thebreed of Chlrlqulan cattle., Blooded stock has been

Joiported at great expense by a few ranch owners,and many! experiments In crossing have been mode.It cannot be said, however, that a satisfactory de-

~ cialon has been reached as to the strain best adapt-ed to the climate and conditions of the .country.

Although the purchaser of land for stock raisingIs required to have three-fourths of It In cultiva-

t i o n within four years, the BameTi^wtth—tand-forcrop purposes,'yet assurances are given by theauthorities that a literal compliance with the lawwill by no means be, required.

In. the case of cattle land any degree of Improve-ment that should indicate the intention of the{•older of the land to put it to the declared purposewould suffice to Insure title. To Illustrate, If anentire tract of 4,000 acres were fenced,' 1,000 acresturned Into. potrero, and 1,000 acres cleared for•corrals, home pasture, buildings and other pur-poses, the authorities would deem the Intent of thelaw to have been amply compiled with.

• It may be well to warn Intending settlers againsttaking up land at a distance from existing centersot habitation or development. The man who shoulddo so will .entail upon himself the burden ot con-structing a .road at considerable expense, not tomention a number ot more or less serious incon-veniences.

"What!" exclaimed both Mr. andMrs. Haldane [at the same momentand with one voice. .

The intimation, however, and thefeeling expressed In both cases weredecidedly different Both were sur-prised: but Mrs. Haldane's. surprisewas lost in Indignation.
