It lies near the south end of a wide portion of the Manboro valley, and hence is an important agricultural region devoted largely to the raising of barley. Its elevation is too high for fruits of sinf-ila- r crops. In the winter it enjoys perpetual sunshine, which, in the high possesses an agreeable dry air, warmth. As the center of the trade of the surrounding country it is famous for its market, which in magnitude and interest ranks second only to the famous Indian market of La Pas in Bolivia (according to Professor Edward Berry and Professor Joseph T. Singlewald, Jr., of the Williams Memorial Expedition to South AmerF ca, in a letter to the Baltimore News). As in all South America, the great market day is Sunday morning, which we were to miss seeing on account of leaving on Saturday. This was another reason that made us regret the Yanqiii promptness of our animals. However, market day on a smaller scale is every morning, so that we did not completely miss seeing the Huancayo market. The native market of Andean towns, epitomizes very successfully the native life the smallness of scale and simplicity to which the needs or necessities of man can be reduced even in a comparatively rigorous dimate, if he is .satisfied to. or knows no' better than merely to exist.

In many inspread in front stances their entire stock consists oT one llama load, that is, 100 pounds; yet each has tramped at least one day and possibly two or three days, to reach the market. The meagre profits of a business of that magnitude are ample to justify the journey. Their wares usually consist of a small pile of potatoes, a pile of ajl (the universally used condiment of the country), possibly a few vegetables, and, if un-- . usually pretentious, as many as a . a PASSENGER TRAIN SCHEDULE a NOW IN EFFECT Leave Salt Lake City g No. 109 0:55a. m. g No. lU ..... 9:16 p. m. . ? a Arrive Bingham No. 109 8:25 a. m.

Another woman sells firewood. She has a few piles of twisted, gnarly sticks of wood which she has carefully counted out and estimated with her eyes. Fuel is one of the scarcest' products of the country, and both buyer and vender scrutinize the stock most carefully the vender to see that she does not give more than is absolutely necessary to make a sale, the buyer to see that she gets as much as possible for her money. Another has a pile of bread in front of her in small, round pieces, hard as rock, and made without salt. Still another who came from a greater distance has a small pile of fruit shriv- eled green apples and perhaps a few oranges. While on the subject of business in the native Andean towns, a few words concerning the stores may be added.

The fird for cooking is built on the dirt floor' and the smoke finds' its way out through the door, so that the upper part of the doorway is blackened with soot. The human occupants, dogs, Hogs, guina pigs, and chickens, share the floor on a democratic basis: The streets are paved with rounded stream cobbles, and both sides slope r toward the central gutter that serves' as the town sewer. Since the 'streets ' are narrow, the smells of the houses and the stenches of the gutters mingle with little dilution, giving these towns an aroma all their own."
