*s Note: This is the t of a series of stories by Ro@aey Dutcher, Washington cor- Tespondent for The Tribune and NEA Service, who accompanied President-elect Hoover's party on the good will tour of Central America and South America. ee Guayaquil, Ecuador Down here where the equator runs across, which is why this country is called Equator in Spanish, you might suppose it would be pretty hot. But the Hoover party came here it was altogether comfortable. The heat doesn't come before late January or early February. Sailing up the Guayas river to this port was too cold for some of the boys in tropical suits. But the climate is more or less steady the year around and Guaya- quil somehow reminded your corres- pondent of a big summer resort. In more than one respect it resembles Ocean City, Md., Rye Beach, N. H., Rehoboth, Del., and Oak Bluffs, Mass. Alligator Hunting It's about 70 miles from the mouth of the Guayas estuary to Guayaquil, giving the city a piece of the world’s best motor boating, which is well util- ized for frequent races. Along this great river motorboats and native dugouts, a fort on one bank and an occasional tiny patch of thatched houses are the only sign of human life. Sharks are plentiful and there's splendid alligator hunting up some of the side-creeks. Now and then a freighter appears—your correspond- ent counted one British, one French and two Ecuadoran in the 70 miles. The Guayaquil waterfront would Pass for oriental, but large, new mod- ern buildings of ornate architecture begin to heave into sight. Members of the Hoover party won't forget the handsome Ecuadoran military cadets lined up beyond the dock, with their plumes, black and gold helmets, white coats and olive gray trousers with broad yellow stripes—a sight not seen by the ordinary new arrival in Guaya- quil. The British consulate looms up im- pressively along the main waterfront street, but the larger American con- 34 vit HCDVER ing.

Again because the buildings are mostly / wooden | and limited to three stories. And there are hardly any store windows. The stores are wide open all day and | at night huge sliding doors are pulled down or across to tover them up. | Padlocks are everywhere used for jlocks, even on_ the. doors of hotel ;tooms in most instances. Restaur- ant tables on the sidewalks add to the summery atmosphere. Ecuadorans jclaim theirs is a land of perpetual | Spring. | No one ought to visit Guayaquil | without going to see the alligator |market. Your correspondent didn’t get a chance. They bring the alli- gators in to sell for their skins. It’s perfectly safe because the snouts of the animals are firmly bound. { Guayaquil is full of American fliv- | vers of both makes. That is, there | are nearly 700 of them in this city of | 120,000 persons. First-Class Newspapers There's a first-class newspaper plant in Guayaquil, El Telegrafo, It is the biggest newspaper in Ecuador, though its daily circulation is only | about 14,000. It was founded in 1884, | installed its first linotypes in 1912 and its first rotary press 10 years later. It has a city staff of six reporters, three more men at Quito, the capital, and correspondents in all large cities. {Senor Santiago Castillo, the editor, who with his two brothers and father owns El Telegrafo, spent six months studying at a photo-engraving school in the United States. ! | TELL CONE TD IN A MINUTE = Youre i ALL RIGUT MY WIS AIRPLANE LAD: COULD Fly, IN A MESS OF TELEPHONE WIRES DIRECTLY BELOW. why CALL Was, BUT IN FoR THE FIRE DEPT... TREY SPREAD TE LIFE NET Guayaquil, Senor Castillo explained, was now eight days and nights from New York, thanks to aviation, com- pared with the fast steamship time of 14 or 15 days. Every week a plane carrying mail and special packages leaves for Panama, taking two days for the trip. The cargo goes on to Havana by steamship, requiring five days. Then it’s a brief air hop to the United States. e BARBS eo While Coolidge wild animals, several wild animals are waiting to hunt Hoover. eee The number of millionaires has grown to 40,000 in the last fourteen years.
