Of all the countries of the new world Honduras finds ftself the deepest fn debt per capita and the least able to meet its indebatedness. In fact, France and Portu- gal are the only two nations on (he globe which show a greater per capita indebted- ness than Honduras. Apparently this little country owes more than & hundred million dollars, three-fourths of which is interest that has accumulated since 1873. 1t hap- Norman Woodson and Gevrge H. Mc- |,y 4, (his way.

Be- fora the new loan could be floated arrange- ments had to be made to satisfy the old indebtedness. The upshot of the matter was that Honduras fell Into the hands of shylocks, who loaned it money and took Twice more Honduras borrowed money, also for the purpose of completing an interoceanic rail- way, but nearly all of it went Into private pockets Instead of going Into the bullding of a rallway. At last Honduras threw up its hands, declaring that It had gotten no benefit from the loans and that it would not satisfy the bonds. The British Parliament was appealed to for an investigation and s0on found the whole matter so tained with fraud that it dould only throw 4t out of court, o to speak. Since then many efforts have been made to effect a settlement, but no mutually satisfactory basis has been found, although the bonds once sold for 6 per cent of their face value, with no allowance for accumulated interest If Honduras were to pay this whole debt with the accumulated interest it would amount to $140 per capita. Our own debt, upon such a per capita basis, would amount to more than twelve billlon dollars. Heavily handicapped ' by its practical, if not actual, Have Root Print It. B, P.

Among the countries of the {new world only Haliti and Columbia have a smaller per capita export trade than Hon- duras. In the matter of internal improvements Honduras {s the most backward of all the Central American states, although none of them possess greater natura] resources. Its forests contain vast areas of precious woods that are all but untouched, and its rich mines are lying Idle for lack of capital to develop them. Americans have lately been taking & deep interest in the possibilities of this land of virgin resources, but thousand opportunities still await develop- ment where one has been improved. While there has been complaint among th Hon- duraneans over the exaggerated reports of thelr political disturbances that are cireu- lated In the United States, they heartily welcome our capitalists. As a matter of fact, there are few places in the world not willing to profit by the wonder-working power of Yankee brains, capital and grit. A remarkable plant that grows in Hon- duras 1s the plantain, which is not unlike the banana. One authority estimates that ,|an acre of plantain produces a quantity of food equal to 133 acres of wheat or forty- four acres of potatoes. Flour is made from green plantains, and both the ripe and green ones are good to eaf.in their natural state. The sap makes a fine indelible Ink. It s estimated that the yerage bunch of plantains will welgh. seventy pounds and that an acre of them wili produce more than 170 tons of edible food.in a single sea- son. Banana growing is sald to yleld a profit of $0 per acre for the first year and $60 for the following ten years. Hon- duras seems to offer splendid opportunities for the agriculturist becouse its laws ex- empt him from liability to military service. The first ice cream factory ever bullt in Central America was erected at San Pedro Sula by a Mr. Troy, a native of Georgla. Shortly after it started there was a down- | pour of rain in the very height of the dry season, a thing almost unheard of. The natjves thought the lce cream factory had changed the climate of the country, ¥o they Immediately sent petitions to the pres- ident of the republic, asking him to revoke the ice cream concession. Troy had with him & wild Irishman who had been stranded, and this fellow concelved the idea of peddling ice cream on the streets. He was soon making from $10 to §15 a day from his ingenuity and industry. The Bay islands, belonging to Honduras, are said to be the nearest known ap- proach to a lazy man's paradise. Cocoa- nut growing constitutes practically the only industry and acording to an en- thuslast, all one has to do is to burn off a | piece of ground, plant the nuts twenty feet apart and wait five years for results.

The nuts are never picked, out as they mature they drop off, and this thower of frult goes on month after month for a lifetime. Bananas, pineapples, mangoes, plums and oranges grow without the slightest cultivation, While cocoanut-growing may have some disadvantages not enumerated in the a prospectus, It is undoubtedly an industry of great possibilities. The by-products of | this tropioal luxury are used in every con- | celvable way. Its sap and meat provide the native with delicious food anhd drink. | Its dried meat Is called copra. The shells are valuable as household utensils, and can be made into many kinds of ornaments. | The tree provides lumber for the construc- | tlon of houses, and the foliage makes an | excellent roofing. There are elghty-three | distinct uses to which the substance of | this wonderful tree may be put, ranging | from the manufacture of toothpicks to the | preparation of dye and hair oll. | The custom of glving concessions, a prac- tice which recently caused so much trouble for Mr. Zelaya of Nicaragua, obtains also in Monduras, though it may not be abused as it was in the nelghboring state. One| thing the Honduraneans have long desired 1s rallway connectlon throughout the re- | public. With all the enormous national dcht, made to secure a railroad, the capital | city of Honduras still remains without rafl connections with the seaports and the jour- ney must be made by automoblile or other conveyance. It s only In recent years that even a good public highway has been open. The result is that the Honduraneans will give almost anything that is demanded | to get a rallroad. Recently a concession of 2,000 acres of land was made for every | mile of rallroad the concessionarle would | bulld in one of the provinces. As the route for which the concession was granted presents no serious engineering difficulties, and the land through which it passes is| fine banana land, capable of being made to yield a profit of $80 per acre per year, | the concesslonarie may secure for himself | a fixed Income of $120,00 a year for every mile of raflroad he bullds, even though | the line yletds him no net profits during | the périod he is allowed to operate it under | the concession. { . In another instance a concession of 25,000 aeres of banana land was granted to an American for an annul rental of less than 5 cents per acre, the concession to last for a long perfod, and the concessionaire to have the privilege of buying the land at | unimproved land prices at the end of that | period. Honduras well realizes that Its con- | cessiohs are tremendously liberal, and that they offer opportunities for the making of great fortunes, but it also understands | that Americans and Europeans will not in- vest their money_in troplcal America un- | lens they are assured of great returns. Un. | limited natural wealth is of no account unless there is capital to develop ft. British Honduras Is not assoclated with Honduras itself, except in name. It was originally a part of Guatemala, instead of Honduras, as the name might imply. It is | British territory by reason of the English lumbermen who settled there a hundred years ago. They saw the opportunity to get themselves unde® the protection of . the mother country by claiming the territory in the name of the crown, and asserted Britain's title to it before Monroe delivered his celebrated pronunciamento. The terrl- tory extends as far back into Guatemala as the lumbermhen could reach in their quest for mahogany. Today the section of coun- try lying elose to the coast has been stripped of its trees, but there are still plenty of them inland. Belize, the capital of the colony, continues to be the fore- most mahogany market of the world. Other precious woods are shipped in large quan- titles, Many people have supposed that mahog- any 1s a wood of very slow growth and some of the best writers on troplcal mat- ters have mccepted this theory. The error 1s due to the difference to time in which the rings on these trees are formed. In Ameriea and BEurope one ring a year Is formed and it was naturally presumed that the same applied to the mahogany tree, As a matter of fact it adds three rings a year, and the tree whose rings indicated that it was 100 vears old, was, as a matter of tact, only thirty-three years old. The high price of mahogany is due to the in- frequent occurrence of the tree and the aangerous swamps in which it grows. A single tree Is often worth, thousands of | dollars. Most of the worl of cutting, hewing and getting the logs to market Is done by nisht, the heat of the day being too intense for such operations. BY FREDERIC J.
