I ie en unending wonder. From
Q the day in 1581 when Pieerro
entered the Bey of Puite, thet delightful
lend hee presented -u
HtSiiiwu proceeeion of revelations
extending along three end e half centuries
of ite n.o<lern history.
Oreon fields eoverod the coast plains
nnder the benign influence of the Inca j
rule, which devised the economy of ir- |
rigntion and impressed the discoverers
w;iV a sense of tho wealth and beauty
if *nlo land now become a bald, gray
sWllo waste, but showing here and
there u brilliant spot of verdure in the
midst of tho general aridity.
The lauds of the Piura lio four to
five dogrcos south of tho equator, and
once in seven years are visited by floods
that wet a narrow l?elt along the banks,
.1 ? (AAA 1- I

available for cultivation, all of which
in now appropriated to cotton. Thin
0110 wotting given flvo er?i>?, two per
year, and then the land rentn to tininh
tho cycle of neven yearn and another
nuccennion of live crops. Tho waters
of the Piiira continue to ilow until
norue time in October, when the people
who live in the valley begin to sink
wolln in the nfiiidn of the river bottom
for their daily nupply. The disappearance
of the river in no gradual it in I
not ponnilde to designate tho day when I
it taken place. Not no, however, itn '
arrival, in February or March, when !
the bed of the stream has been dry for I
months and has been occupied by truck
gardens.
Then the people become thirsty for
the river. Kvery traveler from lip the
valley is ({Mentioned as to where the.
river wan when he passed. If he report
that il in ?*otiiing a crowd of eager list
eiiers and ipiestioncm surround bint as
if lie brought important newn from
t ome foreign loan eomiuisnioii; and
naturally enough, for the condition of
the river, whether it contains much or
little water, is the prophecy of iiycar'n
era p. At last. generally about the i
middle of February, one hears that tlm
river is twenty leagiu a away and is
coming; ? few days later it is only ten
leagues distant, and as it pusses the
upper haciendas the Indians turn out
and welcome it with diuni and fife and
fire rockets.
Sometimes there cornea a disappointment
; for wh"ii it seems a sure tiling
mid llii< in. 1111- ill the i-itv of I'iuru in
tho Iiuvit valley have hegun to look
for it tin* river Iiiih censed t?? Mow ; it
sinks away ill the sands and they any,
44'l'he river has gone back." This,
however, will last hut. h few days.
Again it eoutes and we hoar in lMurn
that " The river is hut a league away
and will ho with us to-day." Then
every horse and saddle is brought out
and the people leave the oity to meet
i the messenger of glad tidings, of
health and riches to the arid land.
In all the year there is not' in.tho
north of IVru a feast to equal this.
iNo fatigue is felt hy the multitudes
who travel through the heavy sands;
soni'i on foot, some on donkeys? poor
loutes, most patient of all created
beings carrying two or three grown
men and women with a small family of
half-grown children; others attain are
inounteil on mules and tluui the elite
on horses. All are gltfd ! When you
meet the river it is a little trickling
streamlet running hero and there in
search of the lowest places; it stops to
till the wells in its road that were excavated
last season, and then runs forward
in the same little rill. A short

ilo^s run into it ami lio down and
revel, ami in a little time euu swim. It
is for everybody a season of real joy,
ami with many a carnival of frolio.
The spectacle of ita approach witnessed
from the Itridgo of Tiara is a
, wonderful sight. You see the pioneers
( of the marching host eomo slowly
around a belid of the river at the tipper
edge of the town, followed shortly
i l?y the surging army of thousands of
; people; yon hear the music of the
^ hand, the murmur of five thousand
voices ami the din of rockets which
throw a smoking line along the air.
The river has eome !
It has reaehed the bridge in the
early evening and the band plays while
the people dunce ou and under the
bridge all night long, or as long as the
increasing llood permits. If oOOottiru

met l?v more than TJ.iioo at I<utacaos,
