COLONY OF GERMANS
Will Be Located On Twenty Thousand Acres of Ar
 kansas Land.

Pine Bluff, Ark, Jan. 28. -E. E. Barclay, vice-president of the Missouri Pacific Immigration Blu reau and fourteen capitalists have returned to St Louis after a several days stayi this sec tion. While here the capitalists purchased 10000 acres of land on which they will place a colony of Germans in time to make the next crop.
 The Pine Bluff Commercial says:
 "The capitalists propose to To- cate on the land they have pur- chased two hundred German families. A conservative num- Der of children to each family would probably be seven and this would mean to begin with a colony of $l, 600 people - men, women and children.
 As citizens no foreigners are better, more thrifty and pro- ductive than the Germans. They know nothing of extravaganza. They are hard workers, are sav- ing and are ideal agriculturists, and a colony in this section could only result in much benefit to the people at large.
 It is the intention of the capi- talists to have this colony located on their lands in time for plant ing the next crop.
 The manner in which these German colonists locate a town is quite interesting. Without ex- ception, the town is platted so that the residences are right in the center of the land. In the morning when they arise to go to work they separate and go in all directions, according to the location of their lands.
 This colonist movement to Arkansas and to the South is general and it has been contend ed will in the end solve the labor problem. The opinion is advanc- ed that these German colonies will ultimately provide sufficient farm labor to work the cotton fields of the South and to pro- vide domestics in Southern homes. They are as a rule peo- pie who have never known any thing but bitter struggle for existence, and any change be- comes a change for the better.
 In the work ot bringing these German colonists to the South west the Missouri Pacific immi- grafton bureau has been very ac- tive and Arkansas has been par ticularly favored. Of the great organization the moving spirits are B. H, Payne, president; K. E. Barclay, vice president and treasurer, and R. H. Hunter, secretary.
 By means of this organiza- tion the Missouri Pacific railway, the immigration bureau is doing wonders for the state work which should not go without recognition from the press and public. "

BANKS COMING TO The RESCUE

Believing the recent slump in the
cot on market wholly unwarranted,
and believing futher that the farmers
should be given every assistance to
the end of securing just and fair prices
for their cotton, such holders will
have the cooperation of banks through
out the South. Money will be advanced
on cotton at low rate of interest, and
for long time, thus enabling farmers
TO borrow upon their bales and pay
debts without the necessity of sacri-
ficing the cotton at present unjust
and rnlnous prices. In Texas six
hundred banks have agreed to advance
money on cotton to the extent of $50
per bale, the loan being for one year
and the rate of interest only per
cent. Bankers throughout the South
Will probably do as much for the far
mer, and thus afford relief in the pre-
sent trouble. Cotton is bound to go
niger just as soon as the gamblers
and spectators realize that farmers
still holding it can borrow money
with their bales as collateral. 1t is
The time for merchants, bankers and
farmers all to stand together in every
state in the South, and they will do
it and thus whip the fight

Chilian Miners PowerruI


Perhaps the greatest weights borne
for any distance on mems backs are
the loads Of ore brought up from the
mines Of the Andes by the miners of
Chill. Darwin visited copper mine
in ravine leading from the main
range of the Cordilleras, where the
work was carried on by such primitive
means that, though the mines had
been worked in the mountains for at
least two centuries, the water was re.
moved in some by carrying it up shafts
In leather bags ON mems backs.
Sir Francis Head, when visiting a
similar mine, found that all the ore
was carried up to the surface, a ver-
teal climb Of $50 feet, by the miners,
and that the average weight carried
was $50 pounds. This load was not
carried up a winding stair, but up
notched trunks of trees, set almost up
right, one touching another.
The food of the Chilian miner, ac-
cording to Darwin, consisted of ra-
tons of sixteen figs and two small
loaves Of bread for breakfast; for din
ner boiled beans, for supper wheat
crushed and roasted. They scarcely
ever tasted meat.

Italian Railway Trains.

One Of the worst and greatest draw
backs to railway travel In Italy is the
want Of accommodation ON many of
the trains, and strangely enough this
applies to greater extent ON long dis
tance trains than on those made up for
short journeys. We have no hesitation
in saying that Tor any party of four
or five persons Wishing to travel, let
us say. from Rome to Naples (six
hours, and desiring to sit all together,
1t Is necessary TO arrive at the station
at least three-quarters OF an hour be-
fore the time at which the train is
advertised to start. Even then we say
without e1aggeration that the thing
is NO certainty. The use Of 9 smoking
carriage with any degree Of comfort is
almost an impossibility. One may ar
rive alone, in reasonable time for the
train, only to find that the very few
drst-class smoking compartments have
long ago been filed with ladies and
children, or more probably invalids.
We speak as a frst-class passenger
only, and, 30 far as we have observed,
the second-class accommodations ON
Italian trains can still be recommend
ed The overcrowding and discomfort
here are stretched to their utmost lin
its, while the third-class carriage may
be dismissed in a few words. This
conveyance, in the form of cattle
truck, is open to all the winds that
blow, and appears to be used chiefly
for the transport Of troops The only
sitting accommodation consists of a
series Of benches fitted crosswise at
intervals of from two to three feet,
while ON the outside is indicated In

which the authorities are permitted to
stow away-al very similar to our
own railway trucks, upon any one Of
