This article appears in Volume V23, Page 353 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RHY-RON
RIO CUARTO , a town of Argentina in the province of
Cordoba
 , 119 M. S. of the city of that name, and about 500 M. N.W. of Buenos Aires. Pop. (1904, estimate) 12,000. It stands 1440 ft. above sea-level and about half-way across the
great
  Argentine
pampas
 , on the banks of a river of the same name which finds an outlet through the Carcaranal into the Parana near Rosario. The town is built on the open plain and is surrounded with attractive suburbs. It is the commercial centre of a large
district
  and has a large and lucrative
trade
 . Its geographical position gives it
great
  strategical importance, and the government maintains here a large arsenal and a garrison of the
regular
  army. The surrounding country belongs to the partially arid pampa region and is devoted to stockraisingcattle, horses, sheep and goats. Irrigation is employed in its immediate vicinity. Previous to 1892 this region was overrun by the Ranqueles, a warlike tribe of Indians, hut the vigorous
reprisals
  of General Ivanovski in that year, supplemented by the tactful intervention of the Franciscan missionaries, who have a convent in this town, put an end to these hostile forays and gave full opportunity for the industrial development of the country. There are some manufacturing
industries
  in the town. The National Andine railway passes through Rio Cuarto, and branch lines connect with the Buenos Aires and Pacific lineall of which give railway communication
with Buenos Aires, Rosario, Tucuman,.
Cordoba
 , San Luis and
Mendoza
 .
