Agriculture is the principal source OF
wealth to Puerto Rico. All fruits and
vegetables adapted to a tropical climate
will yield abundantly there. and this is
especially true of the coffee tree, the SUI

staples of most Importance. The follow

of each crop expressed in percentage of
the total area Of cultiva ted land.

The coffee tree grows best between $50
and 800 feet above sea level Good land
may be secured for from $50 to 500 an
acre. Coffee raising is the most pleasant
industry on the island, as the plantations
are up in the mountains where the eli
mate is delightful Besides the coffee
does not need such constant care as
many other crops demand There are
y, 693 plantations with an entire area
OF lST,o31 cuerdaS, a cuerda containing
1.ooS acres. The coffee tree is completely
developed after seven years, if the con
ditions under which IT. has grown are
favorable. 1t bears when four years old
but il does not produce enough to pay
the expenses. The ripe coffee is picked
from the bushes by the peasants good
picker gathering about hundred pounds
day, for which he is paid GO cents. A
large amount is always stolen by the
pickers, who prepare and sell il to the
local storekeepers. Some coffee planters
give a number of peasants enough land
to live on and cultivate, on condition that
they plant guaya and banana trees to
shade the young coffee. From the time
it is gathered until sent to market the
bean goes through eight processes. on
which depend its commercial value
fair average produce of one cuerda is 400
pounds. The total cost of hundred
weight of coffee, ready for market is
from Sc to s7-2o. transportation is very
expensive, eight cents a. pound being the
highest price paid for taking the produce
to the coast. In 1897, 81, III, 600 pounds were
exported, with a value OF about IS. 100 600
The crop of 1898, which promised to be
large, was destroyed by the hurricane OF
August s. The coffee is very excellent,
and if it can be introduced into the
United States, its future is secured

island, comprising 1912 cuerdas or an
average of thirty-one c,Ierdas to a plan

1899 produced 5000 tons of sugar Some
of these mills are antiquated, and others
have some modern machinery run in con-
nection with the old. Very few have

wooden rollers worked by oxen With
these primitive methods, it is not strange
that the industry has not prospered Very
many OF the plantations have been sup

the central factory system and with i'm

and a great many cattle men are with
him. in support against the arbitrary
action which the Delta county people
have taken in the matter.
The range is largely government land,
his trail is largely on government land
and he abridges the rights of no man in
coming from or going to his range. He
is a large tax payer in Gunnison county
and pays as much il not more taxes than
all those who would arbitrarily abridge
his rights.
As Mr.. Clark is a man Of great deter

it can be expected that he will do the

Death of Mrs. Sullivan.

The death of Mrs. Mary e. Sullivan,
brief mention Of which was made in this
paper Saturday evening, has cast gloom
over large circle OF friends. She died
about 8 o'clock on Saturday afternoon
surrounded by her ia mily and few very
dear friends.
The deceased was q most lovabls wo-
man, the mother OF family Of six chill
dren, all but ono girls, one OF them be-
ing only few months old, and to be
taken frsm them just when they needed
her most tender care was sad indeed
No mother could have cared more tend
erly for her children than did the de-
ceased and as several of the eldest child
rem are just budding into young woman
hood, they needed her gentle care and
kindly ministrations more than at any
other time OF their lives.

was forty years Of age. The family
moved to this city from Roodhouse ILL.,.
several years ago, and during their resi-
dence here have made many warm
friends.

THE SHEEP WAR.
Committee From Delta Meets D.
T. Clark for a Conference.
Arbitrary Demands.

The sheep war which has been raging
in Delta county has extended to this
county. Last Saturday night commit
tee Of Eve men from Delta county, repre-
ssnting the cattle interests Of that eoun-
ty, arrived in this city and asked for q
conferences with David 7. Clark, one Of
the largest owners OF sheep in western
Colorado. The conference was readily
granted by Mr.. Clark and the commit
tee met him in the Brunswick hotel
parlor.
The three members Of the committee
who registered at the Brunswick were
b. u. Roberts. Hotchkiss; W. W. Brown.
Paonia; and N. Il. Castle, Delta.
Tho committee said it had come to tell
Mr.. Clark that hs would MOI be permit
tod to take his sheep through Delta
county, to his summer range in Taylor
park in Gunnison county. They further
stated that they had been told to COM
munisate to Mr.. Clark that the people Of
that section had refused to accept his
offer to purchase his ranches in Gunni-
son county, il they would permit his
sheep to use the range this year.
Previous to the meeting Of the COM
mittee. Mr.. Clark asked that representa-
tives Of the daily press OF this city be
permitted to attend the conference. To
this the committee demurred and said it
was not time as yet to give the matter
publicity.
When it came Mr.. Clark's time to talk
he asked the committee 30 many peril
nent questions that they were very much
confused. The range that Mr.. Clark
owns, or owns the greater portion of, was
never occupied by the cattle men. He
has blazsd and cut trail to his land
built bridges, and in no wise interfered
with the range OF tho cattle men. This
the committee we're compelled to ac-
knowledge, Mr.. Clark then told them in
stead of q committee of conference they
were only a COMMITTEES bearing an order
from people who had no right whatever
to make such an order.
Before tho evenings conference was
over it was ascertainsd that the commit
toe represented but mighty few cattle
and were representatives OF only small
portion of Delta county's people.
What Mr.. Clark will do about the
: matter he has not fully decided. He
has consented to do all things reason
able and 10 now at point that he must
determite before very long wnat he will
do. whether to risk tho anger OF few
cattle men who have become jealous OF
the range which Mr.. Clark has made for
himself or permit his sheep to die fer
want OF range.
David T. Clark a. citizen OF Mesa
countr enjoys the high respect OF great

and many other crops not adapted 10 such

shown that truck farming finds its most faVor-
able conditions, and reaches fits highest sue
cess IN the southern states. The fruits OF
the south. especially apples and peaches, are
rarely eQualed and never exceiled by any
section. The blue grass regions OF the south
produce the finest horses and cattle raised IN
this country. The mild winters enable the
sheep men to place their spring lambs on the
city markets when prices are highest ana A.
