deserts following winding rivers, and
binding this great territory of New Mex

brotherhood, opening up to her pro-
ducers a great commercial highway.
A hundred new towns springing up
along the route traversed by these steel
bands; valleys opened to agriculture,
machinery coming from Chicago and
Denver for her mines, people coming
from all parts of the world to grow up
with the country, manufacturing spring

impetus, the hum of industry over all
her mountains, hills, valleys, and plains,
the desert blossoming like the rose,
mines pouring out their riches, at the
touch of modern machinery, brick blocks
taking the place of adobe, more sheep
and cattle, schools and churches, more
people, money and banks-in short, more

Railway has done for New Mexico. Her

She was sleeping fairy responding to
the magician's magic wanda Pandora
with treasures more varied, than has been
bestowed by nature upon any other land.
Witness the transformation. A leth-
argy like the sleep of death bound her
hand and foot. An environment,
ancient and depressing, fraught with
the stif1ed atmosphere of the 10th cen
fury, the enemy of progress, the avowed
foe of modernism, the farier of develop
ment, hung like black cloud over this
fair land, ready to pour forth her riches
into the lap of labor, ready to give her
fertile valleys to the husbandman, and
to open her mountains, with their in
estimable treasures in the precious
metals, to the miner.
Ready, age, and willing, but the magi
clan Of steam had not come with his iron
horse, screaming the wild slogan of
better day.
A few mines were in operation after
the manner of the times, with their slow,
laborous, antiquated methods, and no
machinery at all. The ore in many in
stances was transported on pack mules
as far as the City Of Mexico. Think of
this for moment! A pack train loaded
with ore from the mines of Silver City,

Space will not permit, nor can the pen
of man do justice to the beauties of the
Grand Canon. Situated sixty-tive miles
from Flagstaff. it is easily reached by
one days journey by stage which runs
tri weekly, over level road, and at the
canon travellers will find comfortable
quarters. The cahon is chaotic gorge,
2l7 miles long. from nine to thirteen
miles wide, and midway is more than
5000 feet below the level of the plateau.
Stretching as far as the eye can reach
he sees panorama thousand square
miles in extent, mass of architectural
masonry with an endless variety of &C.
signs, and colored with hues more varied
than the rainbow and of such tints as
man has never dreamed. To all appear
ances at your feet you see the river chan
mel like a tiny silver thread, and your
impulse is to reach it's waters, little

then you realize that your measuring

tober, when they will weigh $50 pounds
each, and with the exception of little
corn or shorts during the last three weeks
no other food is necessary to fatlen them
for market. Reckoning only ten hogs to
the acre, this means net profit of over
$40 to the acre. At our last New Mexico
Farmers Institute, Mr.. j. P. Casey, one
of our most successful alfalfa farmers,
said:
"Pork can be raised here cheaper than
in any part of the United States.
"One Of the finest markets is right here
in New Mexico; we are at the door of
Old Mexico, where the hogs can be
shipped in car load lots, and also to Fort
Worth packing houses. If hog raisers do
not wish to cure the pork there is good
market for stock hogs. To illustrate, l
kept an account Of the local orders re.
ceived for stock hogs since the 18th of
October and it amounted to over 81 900.
ut is my opinion that if the large pack.
ing houses knew how cheap hogs could
be raised on alfalfa here they would have
hog farms where thousands OF hogs would
be raised yearly.
ut is only question Of time until some
enterprising parties take hold of this
branch and make fortunes out of it.

The stage fare from Flagstaff to the
Grand Canon and return is $1,000. Stage
tickets may be purchased on arrival at
Flagstaff, or special railroad tickets,
bearing stage coupon, may be obtained
by the tourist. In the latter case re-
