LETTER.

Frpm our Washington Correspondent
WAsHINGToN, Oct. IS, 1897.
What have you got to do with
Cuba, anyhow" That is the plain
English of the cour,cously wofded
reply Of the new Spanish ministry
to McKinley's Quixotic mediation
proposition, which was used to pre-
vent Congress taking action at the
last SESSION that would have brought
peace in Cuba long before now.
Having had one check diplomatic
ally slapped by Spain, it now re-
mains to be seen whether Mr.. Nc
Kinlcy will turn the other cheek for
another slap, or will rise to the oc-
casion by promptly recognizing the
independence of Cuba, or even the
belligcrcncc of the Cubans. Pre-
sent talk in administration circles in.
dicatcs that the other check will be
turned to the Spaniards. The o.
pinion Is growing that Congress will
have to compel Mr.. Mckinley to do
the right thing by Cuba.
As though Mr.. Mckinley did not
have enough troubles Of his own,
the two factions Of Virginia rcpub.
licans have swooped down upon him
with the demand that lie umpire

nlent only to make this one of, if not
THE, banner counties of the state.
The agricultural and grazing indus
tries are the only ones that have re-
ceived any attention to speak of in
the past, but during the last two or
three years fruit raising has been
tried and the results have been so
successful that it bids fair to be-
come the leading industry in very
short TING.
Late experience has taught many
who understand the knack of raising
fruit that this county has advant-
ages in that line that are unexcelled.
McElmo canon has already proved
beyond doubt that fruit of all
kinds can be raised there to profit
and the residents OF that section are
now making their living from their
orchards and gardens. But this end
of the county and the Mancos sec
tion are not to be overlooked. This
is where the pinions grow and fruit
trees of all kiili; flourish by their
side in way that surprises the most
enthusiastic. The exhibit shown
at Denver during the carnival has
done more in the way Of advertis-
ing this resource than anything else
and if followed up in the proper
manner there is 10 reason why
Montczuma county will not double
discount many of the counties that
now have a wide reputation for
their fruit.
Cherries, apples, plums, peaches,
pears and apricots thrive in this
part of the county as we'll as i'll the
McEln,o section. At distance of
about four and one-half miles north
of Cortez the fruit belt of this part
of the county begins and it has not
yet been demonstrated how far it
extends toward the mountains.
What trees have already been plant
ed i'll this section have not grown
to profitably producing proportions,
but at present they give abundant
evidence of what they will be in the
future. There is an almost u.imit-
ed quantity of ground that can be
opened up and planted witt! fruit
trees of all KINGS, which in a few
years-the length of time nature re-
quires to make the trees produce
will yield the owners a handsome
income. And in the mean time the
same ground will make them a prof
table investment in the grain they
can raise on it. Potatoes and other
garden truck can be grown to an
advantage, also.
These advantages are rapidly be-
coming known and developed, and,
as no great amount of capital is nee
essary they are open for all and those
who are first on the ground will b.
the ones to reap the greatest bcne-
fits. Come and see for yourself and
you will be convinced.
