sHlF TING DIVISIONS.
The Iron Mountain to Make Walnut
Ridge Division.

Ihe Iron Mountain railroad com
pany has given an order for 80 coo
ties, to be delivered at Walnut
Ridge, Ark This confirms Sac re-
port that division point will be
made there. The ties ordered will
make nearly thirty miles of track.
The establ shment OF switch yards
at Walnut Ridge means that New
port will lose the division point il
the COMPANY decides to make a long
division.
It is probable that Poplar Bluff
will lose the division point. The
ground for a switch yard has beer
looked over at Piedmont and the
three divisions may be as follows:
st. Louis to Piedmont, 118 miles
Piedmont to Walnut Ridge, 81
miles.
Walnut Ridge to Little Rock l24
miles.
The only hopes that DeSoto, Poplar
Bluff and Newport have of retaining
their position as division points, is
that the company will decide to make
shorter divisions by adding Pied
mont and Walnut Ridge. Poplar

No Place for Individuals
Without Capital.

There is plenty of room for syndicate IN
estments. Corporations and individuals
with large capital can easily place money
where it will pay n big interest on long
time investments. Young men who have
some money and business brains can find
plenty of chances to make fortunes. but
they must go out and look over the ground
for themselves. and expect to make the
Philippines their home for eight or ten
years at least.
Indeed. 1t seems to me that our new pos
sessions offer a most attractive field for
such men. The Philippines are an empire
of undeveloped resources. which as soon as
matters become quiet will go forward on
the seven league boots of modern progress.
The most of the country Is healthful, and
in many parts the climate Is better than
that Of the Southern United States. In the
future every island will be spotted with
the homes of rich and well-to-do Amer
will be equal to that of any part of the
United States. The American population
will be rich. it will have good schools at
home, and will also educate its children
abroad. It will. In short. be somewhat like

some future time the streams will be made

built. and a few Of the cities will have cleo
trio lights and car lines.
These roads will throw open new lands
to settlement and here will be Il chance for
speculation. The Filipino is as smart as
the American as far as his experience goes.
but he has no idea of the increasing values
which come from railroads, and even after
the railroads are planned one will be aple
to buy lands at low prices. There is GER
tain to be an increase in real estate value
almost everywhere, and il one could get

for this reason you see hundreds in the

out from the villages to tend the little rice

lives on his fields. and the farmers, as a

enormous capital and have mills costing

was as black as your boots and very rich.

paid for their work according to the
amount they drop, the girls receiving about

There are many plantations in the valley

well in other parts of Luzon and in all the

that plantations would thrive in Mindanao
