OF the south the correspondent says:
In railroad building the south and
southwest now show a great degree OF
activity. but railroad building down

are several north and south trunk lines
OF great Importance, and which prob
ably will meet all requirements for
many years to come, but large acreas

lands of Texas. which now bring from
$50 to $50 per acre, these lands can BE-
worked for years without using any
fertilizers. The idle timber lands OF
this section alone offer opportunities
for almost illimitab BILE profitable opera
tions. The distance between he devel
opment of any of these southwestern
states and the conditions which pre-
vail in Massachusetts,, for instance, re-
veals the reason why the south is to-
day pointed out as the section above
all others where the young men seek

mites than in any other part OF the
nation. There is so much to do down
here and the rewards are so certain and

wonder why any ambitious young man
will remain in the overcrowded east

ual effort grow less every year while
in many parts of this country almost
primitive conditions prevail and a de-
Velopment work remains to be done
which it will take generations to ac-
