going on with procuring firstly the
acquisition of the necessary lands
for his enterprise; as base for
future work and movements; opposi-
ton of some landowners having

flags on the Municipal and Custom
house building being made by the
beautiful and distinguished Senorita
ErlInda rena.
Everything is quiet and hopes are
entertained for a good harvest, as

ition and fears of frost, i'm this al
ready advanced season, are out of
the question. People here are en-
thusiasfic as to the success of the

will advance prospects on the Mex
lean National railroad, which is Of
vital importance to this section.
Don Santiago Seguin had the bad
luck to lose by fire, of amyster-

straw "Rastroio" would have helped
him, at present very handsomely.

l cannot refrain from add ,esslng
you just few words-commenda-
tory and explanatory-in reference
TO the climate, soil and great unde-
veIoped resources of this section.
Your climate far surpasses either
that of Florida or California, in that
you do not have the damp. moist,
might say ''moldy" weather so much
in evidence during winter months
in Florida, neither have You the
"foggy" mornings, nor the chilly
winter nights that are a permancv
to California. In this section you
can raise nigh onto" anything, ex-
Guiding but few of the grain sta
pies. Bananas are large yield
here, rarely failing, some say runn-
ing as high as 81 900 per acre re-
turns. Figs, dates, plums, apricots
and kindred fruits will far surpass
California, both in quality and
quantity, and certainty of crop. Or
anges, melons, and such are prolific
here to an astonishing degree, and
grow to finer state of perfection
than in Foridi. You are certainly
from one to two months ahead Of
any section in putting any kind of
produce on the northern markets,
which insures tremendous returns.
Have any of your readers ever in
vestigated the great possibilities OF
stra berry culture here? 1 have
been informed they are a sure and
large crop here, and imagine what
a source Of income awberry cult
ure would be to some enterprising
farmer who would "tackle" straw
berry culture, he would be able to
put them on the st. Louis, Kansas
City or other northern markets, in
January, now Flerida berries are
not on sale before March, and they
sell for from 80 cents TO ST. per quart.
Get your railroad connections and
rates, and this section will
astonish the world.
