Porto Rico is already open-wide open

General Nelson A Miles. recently The

l should say that the best prospects for

tEe opportunities of supplying a very not
able deficiency in transportation facilities.
Almost no railroads are to be found there,

Many agricultural Industries in Porto
Rico invite American attention Among
these are the growing Of coffee, tobacco
and sugar. There is no agricultural ma
chinery of the modern kind, old-fashoned
plows being still used in the fields On the
other hand. the machinery for sugar MAX
ing Is first rate and OF the most improved

are about 100000 people on the island, who
will doubtless require many things which

S00o0,00O pounds of coffee were exported
last year from Porto Rico
Said Colonel Allen, who was on the is
land with General Miles recently:
Now is the Time.
Porto Rico today is full of Americans
who have millions behind them. One finds
them browsing about over most of the is
land. looking for concessions and for profit

problem of the immediate future of Porto
Rico At present there is only one railway
on the island, running from Ponce to Yau-
CO. and it is in French hands"
Said General Gilmore:

In Porto Rico there are no factories. no
coal. no tramways and no lumber. Those
facts afford fairly adequate suggestions
as to opportunities open to Americans
