Chicago, Feb. 15.-California lines are
waiting with interest the coming an
nouncement by the Rock Island of it's
California schedule, for there is no longer
any doubt that the Rock Island is after
California business. 1t was supposed gem
orally, when that road projected its Ell
Paso line that it was after Mexican bust
ness. This view Of the case was denied
yesterday by an official of the company,
who said: .5s
The Mexican traffic will be incidental to our
new line. What the Rock Island desires is
a big share Of the California traffic and we
intend to get it. l cannot tell you at this time
what the Rock Island has in mind regarding
the California traffic, but the public will not
be permitted to lose sight Of the fact that
we will have the short line to Los Angeles
and southern California.
Although official confirmation is lack
ing, there is some reason to believe that
this road is also after the transportation
contracts for the trans Missouri and
transcontinental mail, the bulk of which
is now carried by the Burlington. At
present the mail must be brought into the
city and transferred in wagons to another
depot, while it could be transferred from
car to car at the Joint station Of the Lake
Shore and ROCK Island at Sixty-th1r1
street, saving between one and two hours.

RAISING CATTLE IN MEXICO

1t is we'll known fact that the Mexican
haciendas have been among the best pay
ing and steadiest undertakings on the
American continent The land south OF
Jalapa in Mexico, extending across the
Isthmus through Tabasco and Chiapas, is
one of the most fertile and promising
strips of country in the world, producing
all the staple tropical products, Sugar,
cocoa, coffee, vanilla, pineapples, oranges,
bananas and rubber. Besides this, great
quantities of luxuriant grass are found
which is unequalled for fattening cattle.
Strange as it may seem, the lima oltants
of this tropical Mexico consume large
quantities of beef; in fact, so great is the
demand that beef is constantly being
Snipped from southern Mexican gull ports
to other parts of the republic. &
The wealth and unlimited possibilities
of Mexico have proven very attractive to
foreign capital and large part of the de-
yelopment is to-day being carried on by
American and English corporations. The
Tabasco Plantation company of this city
has gone into the development work on
large scale. With valuable plantation
of 1900 acres, this company is sure to be
prominent factor in the advances made
during the next few years. 1t is branch-
ing out in the cattle business, rapidly,
at present. as this resource of the planta-
ton promises both quick and large re-
turns. There are over 500 acres Of land
to cover which no stock will be sold and
which with other lands will be devoted
exclusively to the fattening Of cattle.
With a ready market right at hand and
with a scarcity Of beef, the prices are
high and stable. Besides this there are
no risks, such as hard winters and dis
astrous storms, which eat into the profits
of; cattle raising in our own country.
The most modern sugar machinery Is
also being put in to handle very large
acreage Of sugar cane. The profits in
sugar cane in Mexico are far greater than
in America, as the Mexican government
carefully protects the agricultural in
dustry of the republic.
With a steady income from the first,
stockholders in this company will receive
dividends on their stock without waiting
for the development of the rubber trees
and other permanent crops which are
counted on to run the dividends up to
over 40 per cent at the end of seven or
eight years. The rubber industry is ex-
ceedingly profitable, but takes time. By
combining the resources Of the plantation
and developing them in scientific way.
we will have money-making proposition
that is both safe and highly profitable. A
full explanation will be sent on request.

Chicago, Feb. ia new cause for
railroad wrecks has been discovered in
the monster locomotives that are now be-
ing used SO extensively by all railroads.
Reports have been received showing
where the unconnected drivers of these
monsters, while being shipped to their d.
visions, have pounded the rails SO hard
that the latter have been. broken and
others have been so badly injured that
they have snapped under pressure Of the
following trains. Railroad officials are
agreed that recent wrecks that have been
attributed to defective tracks may now be
traced to broken or injured rails resulting
from the transportation Of heavy engines
in an unfinished state. These views led
to the issuance of the following order by
the Rock Island:
Effective March 1, 1902, this company will
require that dead locomotives received for
transportation shall be equipped with side
rods in position and coupled.

a dime lower than last. The offerings, with
the exception Of one load of choice beeves,
averaging 1,271 pounds, which sold at $6.15,
