HOOVER PARTY BY WILL IRWIN. ar_an North Ameri- BUENOS AIRES, December 14.— Somewhere on the Pampas, from the attractive barren pinnacles of the Andes, the train bearing President-elect Hoover and his party plunged without warning into a country bursting with richness. I never experienced in any land a more sudden change in the geological appearance or the climate. The coun- | try is famous for its upland vineyard | districts, from which Argentina dl’l\l’s} most of its temperate fruits and most of its wines. | The long stretch of land is covered | with well tended vineyards, manicured fields, while plastered houses, backed by the abrupt rise of grey serrated, snow- capped peaks, higher than any we know of on our continent. The inhabitants, mostly Itallans from their looks, smiled and waved at us from platforms of neat stations. At Mendoza, the center of this dis- trict, we changed from the Chilean train, which carried us over the Andes, to & replica of a first-class British train de luxe, for the most important Argen- tina railroads are in the hands of Eng- lish companies. There is one difference, however. It has a gauge broader even than that of the Russian raflroads. This, an offi- cial of the line tells me, arises from a mere mistake. When the first English VIEWS RICHES AND CONTRASTS IN ARGENTINA Elegant Train SWishes President-Elect Across Pampas Through Grain Fields and Millions of Cattle. locomotive was ordered the makers got the dimensions wrong and the track builders had to cut “the coat to fit the cloth.” So the smart “Pullman lounge,” in which I am writing this, has the breadth of a salon. I am obliged un- patriotically to state that never in the United States have I traveled in a train equal to this for civilized comfort. Scenery Like U. S. And when we woke this morning we re at home. America; it was Iowa or Nebraska. There was the same unbroken stretch of rich green crops or yellow stubble to the same horizon, the same bowl prairie sky, broken by wild cluds. I have watched that landscape for seven hours and have not seen even the suspicion of a hill. My second ob- servation caught minor differences. The homesteads water courses lie, as do ours, amidst clumps of trees, only they are not spreading elms or syca- mores, but are needle-like Lombardy poplars. The white farm houses under them are adobe or stucco, and small compared with ours. This is a mani- festation of large land holdings, with special problems of a new progressive government, and is true of all govern- ments in South America. That stretch of corn, wheat and alfalfa I looked out upon was succeeded by rela- tively undeveloped country, where be- hind barbed wire fences graze cattle This was not South | tree and the English pad, with a | | balance and a certainty that is all | in millions—one herd clustered by the fence along the track must have ex- tended for two miles. It was fine, sturdy stock, mostly of the full fleshed modern breeds, like Durhams, though here and there a) peared the longhorn, that descendant of the Spanish fighting breed which once stocked the Texas plains and from Honduras to Chile. The corrals and runways at stations might have been in Montana. But again there were other minor differences. It is still a horse country. There is not one mile of improved road and outside the towns not one auto- mobile in 50 miles. The inhabitants $move down dirt highways in two-wheel | carts with horses, like covered wagons | or buckboards. Gaucho of Pampas. Everywhere rides the gaucho, the cowboy of the pampas. "His costume does not live up to the expectations raised by the movies. He wears a flapping black hat, wide-hipped over- alls and plain boots, though occasion- ally he sports a black sash or wide that is a cross between our old Texas | horseman. Sometimes he passes us driving a great herd of fine horses of the saddle type and all ages and sexes—stallions snorting deflance to prairie winds, and mares calling young colts to their sides with solicitous whinnies. But while the land seems familiar to one who knows our Western fauna, it Is very strange. I have not yet seen a bird much resembling any I know at home. In the early morning strange- ly flufly and plump looking little brown owls sit on the telegraph wires, making up their minds to go to bed. Across the marshes fly herons with exaggerat- ed long necks and knife-like heads. Still another bird fails of classifica- tion under any circumstances I know. It is snow white, with a jet black head, very chunky. with about the bigness of a fat pullet and has a perky lHttle tall with which it constantly registers which we have seen in every country | m: leather belt. And he sits in a saddle | its emotions. At one swampy stretch I caught a glimpse of the flery, twinkling, flying flamingo. Highway System. An official of the road, interrupting gracefully, as I write this dispatch, has Jjust informed me concerning these dirt roads. In certain provinces the govern- t has built improved highways, but New Englanders will be mystified to’ learn that the trouble here is of sur- fdce stones. “It is all deep aliuvial sofl,” he says. But our train window view this morning explains why Argentina is be- coming the meat market and granary of the European world and how without intense manufactures, developed coal flelds or mines she supports the second Latin city of the world—Buenos Alres. Even a mind with the capacity of President-elect Hoover's must be burst- ing with the facts we have met with. It is four days since we landed at Callao. Most of the itme has been spent | * in land travel, and he has managed it so that the financial, political engi- neering experts of Chile arid the Argen- tine have traceled with him. A delegation of the Chilean govern- ment and trade associations accompan- ied him to the border line at the sum- mit of the Andes. Immediately a sim- ilar delegation of Argentinians joined the party. At stops his head and theirs may be seen through train windows in close attentive conferences.
