ing Big Scheme
Of Colonization in Which Prom
inent People Are Interested.
Among Them Are P. I. Bonebrake,
Thomas Osborn, Col A S. John
son, J. W. and c. s. Gleed.

T. G. Henry. ex-wheat king of Kansas,
is in Topeka working up interest in his
Mexican, colonization scheme. He says
that on March I he viii move mis- family
from Denver to Mexico and after that the
United States will know him no more.
Mr.. Henry has already succeeded in in
teresting several Topeka people in his
venture and they viii probably accompany
him on an excursion to the land which
he calls sthe new Paradise" Among them
are EX-GOVERNOR Thomas A. Osborn. P. I.
Bonebrake. Colonel A S. johnson, J. w.

country" said he. There should be
thousands of immigrants arriving in the
west every year. but on the other hand

Mexico is the coming country. It is
the only productive country near US that
has not been developed, and when that is
done there will be no more. There are
better opportunities in Mexico than there

who would develop them, and L intend TO
do the same thing in Mexico.
I'VE have already secured concession
of 100000 acres near Tampico- The plan
is to have the lands developed by Ameri-
cans. It will be arranged so that they
may have small towns where they may

a strange country. The country is tTopi-

This Condition of the Iron Market
Causes an Advance.

Chicago, Jan. 6.-The Industrial World
today says:
THE strength of the local iron and
steel markets lies in the fact that the
output is sold for months ahead.
There is in many lines no pressure to
sell and a very moderate demand will suf-
fee to keep prices firm until large orders
under the present rate of consumption be-
come imperative Beams and channels
