INVESTMENTS
FOR YANKEES
IN ECUADOR
DENVER, Aug. 9 (by Associated
Press).—With a population smaller
than that of Philadelphia, and an area
slightly larger than that of Arizona,
Ecuador offers alluring opportunities
for American capital and enterprise,
is the opinion of Chargel W. Cope
land, American vice consul at Guay
aquili, who is now in Denver.
Partial toward Americans, genial
in disposition, practical though a bit
dillitory in their business dealings,
and slightly inclined towards super
stition, the Ecuadoreans, according to
Mr. Copeland, possess a blend of
characteristics puzzling though not
displeasing to an Anglo-Saxon mind.
“At first the average business man
is likely to be vexed by the constant
attitude of ‘manana’ is as good as
‘today.’ He pays his bills scrupu
lously—but one must be content to
wait until ‘manana.”
Textiles and foodstuffs of all kinds
are the chief items imported by the
people of Ecuador. There is also a
heavy demand for hardware, ready
made clothing, machinery, drugs and
boots and shoes.
The principal articles of export are
cocao, Panama hats, coffee, vegetable
ivory, cotton, hides and rubber.
“Ecuador is a land of paradoxes,” ob
served the vice consul. ‘The Panama
hat capital of the world is not Pana
ma, but Jipijapi or Monte Christi,
Ecuador.
“Another paradox is that many
deadly insects and reptiles are not
deadly in Ecuador. For example, I
have never known of a case where
the bite of the tarantula has proved
fatal.
With the extirpation of yellow
fever through the efforts of the Rock
efeller foundation, one of the greatest
deterrents to the advent of foreigners
has been removed.”
Superstition, which is not confined
to the ignorant classes, is a dominant
trait of the Ecuadoreans, says Mr.
Copeland.
According to Mr. Copeland there is
great diversity of climate in Eucador,
ranging from the hot humidity of
Guayaquilito to the bracing air of
Quito, the capital, and of a number
of mountain, resorts. The commer
- » Jl —
cial center of the country, however,
is Guayaquili.
SAUERKRAUT FIGURES
IN CASE APPEALED TO
THE SUPERIOR COURT
PRESCOTT, Ariz., Aug. 9 (.by Asso
ciated Press).—Six barrels of sauer
kraut, intended for the soldiers at Fort
Whipple barracks, near here, after
worrying their way through the justice
court, now will feature an appeal to
the superior court.
The six barrels of kraut, valued at
$170.SO, were prepared for the bar
racks last January. The plaintiff de
clares they were refused. The pickled
cabbage went from bad to worse.
A jury in the justice court awarded
the owner damages for the kraut, but
he wants payment for his containers,
and the case goes to the superior
court.
Special dinner served from 11:30
o’clock every day at the City Bakery.
