Livingston, Mont, Feb. Sd. N. Ely
| Is in receipt of a letter of T. C. Heaton,
4 formerly of this city, bull now a member
| TO the LIST Montana infantry, located at
Manila, in which he states that an
1 American going the1t. a. once, with
| the knowledge needed to make hotel a
| success, opening up a good house and
running first class bar in connection
| with it, would make a lot of money. There
would also be big money in running a
| first class American restaurant. AL
| though there are at present many sa-
looms, the writer thinks that an Aneri-
can would soon work up big trade. AS
there viii always be some thousands of
| soldiers in and around Manila. there
| Will be considerable money in circula-
| ton. 1t is no country for white man
| for anything else but to follow some
business. There would be mint of
| money in a good big steam laundry,
| as all the soldiers have to wear white
suits to drill in. Nearly all the wash
ing is done by natives at present, but
| they get away with so much clothing
that laundry, responsible for each ar
ticle taken would be hailed with de-
light by all the soldiers. He believes
that one could. inside Of two months
from starting, have 5000 to 5000 GUS
toners at rs cents month, American
| money. Native help would be very
cheap. For one to go into the business
of raising tobacco, rice, hemp or cocoa
nuts, one must have considerable cap
ital to start with. The people claim that
every cocoanut tree, after it begins to
bear, will yield 81 year, but it takes
