The Cimarroa water.

Last week we gave short and very
hurl ie lily prepared report of the prelim
mary survey OF the Cima-ron water pro-
j.ct. but We find it necessary to reiterate
this week what we said then, because II
the fact that street talk is trying to
make out that Engineer Reilly reported
against the scheme. Now I dir C op-
posite OF that is what he did report. As
stated by US last week. he pronounced
the project feasible one and said that
it would give the valley cheap water.
Tie head will be sew IL hundred and
fifty feet higher Than the top Of Cerro
hill where the eros g will be ma e.
south and west OF the W,K coal NIL;
this tire nen ndous fall will give several
hundred feet to spare in clipping down
and around any treacherous aud sliding
ground. The larger part OF the work
will be ordinary plow and scraper work
and can be do 8 rapidly ana cheaply.
There is plenty Of wa'-r in the s,ream
below the Leadga,e, for the use OF the
Cimarron ranchmen, should the ditch
take all the wa-er from ab,v', which
would seldom or never occur. And
should there not be enough below for all
the projectors OF the new ditch could az
ford to turn down Veo creek SOL e

Porto Rico. Then cattle dealers and
cattle SPECTATORS swarmed over Hon
duras. Last February and March,
while at Concordia and La Joya, in the
department of blanche. I saw droves
of cattle on their way for the ports of
Celba and Trujillo, on the northern
coast of Honduras, for transshipment
to Cuba. In April 1 saw train loads of
cattle Cten cars, thirty cattle in each
carr, sent down from La Pinuenta and
San Pedro to Puerto Cortez for ship
ment to Havana. And now in Septem-
Der and October train loads of cattle
are still coming into Puerto Cortez
Every week big steamships arrive in
port, load with cattle and sail for
Havana. Each takes aboard from $50
to 900 cattle. Frequently two and three
of these big cattle steamships are in
port at the same time-one loading and
two waiting. Such great numbers of
cattle have been shipped out of Hon
duras during the current year that 1t
seems impossible that any more cattle
can be found for market on the grazing
grounds.
Cuba, Porto Rico and Guatemala
will be consumers of as many beef cat
tie as they have been buying in years
past. In addition to the ever-present
markets, a new demand for Hondura-
MAN beef will be created along the line
of the Nicaraguan ship canal, among
the thousands of laborers of that great
work, and after it's completion to sup
ply the ships which pass through.
Now is the time and opportunity for
men with capital to invest. The con-
gress of Honduras has imposed an ex-
port duty of SIG upon every COW. This
tax is prohibitory and is intended TO
keep the cows in the country. None
has been exported or killed. Thou
sands of cattle 'fincas' grazing lands,
stocked with cows and calves can be
bought at very low figures and in sill
