Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Guide to Modern Peru: Its Great Advantages and Vast Opportunities The writer is indebted to Collier's Weekly, for matter from a series of excellent articles which appeared in that magazine during November and December, on South America, by Arthur Ruhl; and to the Rev. F. E. Clark, writing on the coast of South America, in the Los Angeles Times of April. The Official matter has been translated from the booklets published by authority of the Peruvian Department. For the new matter that is given in this third edition of "A Guide to Modern Peru," the writer wishes to thank, particularly, senor Don Alejandro Garland, for matter contained in his publications, "Resena Industrial and El Peru 1906," published on behalf of the Ministry of State of Peru. The writer returned last October from his fifth annual trip to Peru and found a great many changes and wonderful progress exhibited in the country. In the first place, the steamer Quillota left the City of Callao with a full passenger list, carrying several notables on board. Amongst the passengers, were found for the first time in the history of travel in that country, a party of Cook's tourists, consisting of a dozen persons, in which were represented two millionaires, Dr. Nicholas Senn, a United States Army Surgeon, and that genial traveler and army physician, Dr. Louis Seaman.
