Detroit. Sept. 1s.-Tne Journal says:

Detroit, Sept 13-The Journal says:
Then opening Of new territory has al
some interesting and exciting features
surrounding It, When the government
lands of our own country were thrown
open TO settlers, thousands waited on
the borders for the signal to start, IN TO
select and stake out the property The
spirited contests by the settlers to get
the best locations frequently resulted in
bloodshed. The land was in a virgin
state. Little had been done in the way
of cultivating it before the government
had decided to hand it over to the sett-
lers. They came from all parts of the
country TO stake out claims in the new
territory. It was in practical wilderness.
There were no large towns or cities from
which TO draw supplies Everything was
in a crude state, and to the settler it
meant uphill work and many privations.
After years Of hard work the new coun-
try was converted into the land of plenty.
Large and prosperous towns now dot it
everywhere, while the fields are covered
with the fruits Of the labors OF the set
tiers. {
With the new territory recently acquired
from Spain il is different. There is much
to be gained in them without the hard
work that was necessary in making our
western country what it is at present.
The land is more fertile in the new pos
sessions, and little cultivation is needed
to make il paying property. Then the
farmer and the ranchman who go into this
new territory will be surrounded by large
towns from which supplies may be drawn.
But it is not only the farmer and ranch
man who are 10 be benefited. Every
trade and profession will be helped. Most
of the new possessions have been cult
waited, and the products have been sent
10 the markets of the world for years.
There are also large and thriving cities
and towns in them; but, thanks to the
management of Spain and the Incidence
Of the natives, most Of the places are
in 4 primitive state. anG The great riches
Of the Islands nave Yet to be brought to
Americans are so well known the land will
be properly and profitably cultivated, and
the cities and towns will develop into bus
mess centres.

One OF the more important Of the new
possessions that have come under the stars
and stripes and towards which many OF
our people are looking, are Cuba and
Porto Rico. Thousands are waiting for
the signal from the government that all
is in readiness. and when that is DONE
merchants, capitalists, farmers, profess
sional men and mechanics of all classes
will flock to the new supposed Eldorados
This time will not come until Spain will
have evacuated these islands and her
flag will have been hauled down, never
to float again in the western hemisphere.
The raising of the stars and stripes will
be the signal for the energy and enter
prise OF America to open up the now de-
true worth to the world. As Commodore
Schley said after the battel of Santiago:
The victory is big enough for US all"
1t might be said of the new possessions
that they are not only large enough but
rich enough to well repay those who seek
them for the trouble and difficulties with
which they nave to contend.
The population of Porto Rico is about
5000. yet only about onetenth can read
and write. AS a rule, the people are not
only indoletn, but do not know how to
get the best results from their work, or
If they do know they are not willing to
try. It is a well-known fact that the
natives Of Cuba and Porto Rico would
rather lie in the shade under a tree than
to get out and hustle. For this reason and
because of the long wars carried on by
the natives 'ainst the home government
the land has been allowed to go to waste.
while business and Improvements have
been almost at a standstill. While the
natives have been a thorn in the side of
Spain, they will be a boon to the thous-
ands Of American citizens who viii emf
CRATE to these islands when the govern
ment permits

Many Of the large, r!ch, plan tatons are
far from market centers, and the only
facilities they have for getting their pro-
ducts into the cities 10 be shipped TO
foreign ports is by the means of the ami
mails that are used IN drawing their prinai-
tive crafts. With the opening up OF the
country and the increase Of business
which is bound to follow. will come rail-
roads. The horse will give way TO the
locomotive and Thorough roads to the
steel tracks.
Engineers have been in great demand
in these islands for many years. Little,
however, seems 20 nave been done by
them, as the few railroads are crudely
built, and there. are very few bridges
or other structures that require skill to
construct Most of the work done by the
engineers has been in the plants operated
on the larger sugar plantations. where
lntricit machinery is used. They will now
be given an opportunity to employ their
skill IN other lines, There will not only
be railroads and bridges TO be built, but
work il the harbors will be done.
in the cities merchants will have OPP
portunit.es. As the country develops the
population will naturally increase, and
with it the trade. The larger business con
Germs are now owned and operated by
foreigners. most of whom are Spaniards;
but. like the natives, they are not enter
prising. and have little push" Then
again. there is very little money to be
found IN the cities at present. and when
the trade does revive for a long time the
imports viii be sent 70 the ports on a cash
basis. There is little. with the exception
OF farm and plantation products Of the
natives that are handled in the cities. that
does not come from foreign countries.
The merchants seem to be wiling TO pur-
chase anything which they can get on
credit. and a visit 20 some of the larger
establishments will reveal a lot Of shop
worn articles that look as though Column
BUS might have brought them over with
him on his first voyage. Business houses
such as are 70 be found in the United
States, are unknown in Cuba and Porto
Rico. nor are the methods employed by
our merchants the same as those of the
native storekeepers.

JUDGE THOMAS COURT,

The trial of Isaac Nolen, charged
with the murder of Andrew Artef-
son near Sapulpa, that was be-
gun yesterday afternoon, still con-
tinues, The chief evidence for the
government was given by Fred
Arterson. the son of the deceased,
boy IL or IA years old and who
was present at the time Of the kill
ing. The court took recess of
one hour this afternoon to wait for
a government witness expected on
the Frisco train from the west.
Perhaps the argument of council
will occupy good portion of the
forenoon tomorrow, and it is not
probable that any more jury trials
will be had this week. ''
Marion Dickson, Of Fairland,
one Of the regular panel of the
petit jury, was too sick yesterday
for ser vice and being no better to-
day was excused from duty un-
til Monday, when it is hoped he
will be able to resume his duties
as juror.
In yestersday's report it was
stated that Chas. Langley was con.
victed Of larceny. He was ac-
Quilted.
The grand jury expects to adj
journ tom orrow.
There are two or three murder
cases which are expected to tried
during the present term.
