turned last night for Mexico City
after an inspection of the line.
Mr.. Browns trip was connected
with a proposition of the engineer
ing department to remove all the
wooden bridges remaining over the
smaller openings along the line
and replace them with steel bridges
and Il beams. Chief Engineer
Macdonald who was here recently
confering with the resident en-
gineer of this division on the same
matter, is having an estimate made
of the cost of the work. All of the
old steel bridges of the narrow
gauge line, that have been left
standing on portions of the old I'LL
not followed by the new line, have

A New Orange Tree.

1t is reported that an orange tree
has been developed that produces a
fine quality of fruit and will stand
20 to IS degrees of frost without
injury. The orange now grown
will not stand any sort of freeze,
and a few degrees below freezing
will kill the trees, as was demon
strated in Florida a few years ago,
and at frightful cost to the State.
If the new orange and Its tree
prove as hardy as claimed a wide
extension of the orange belt i'll the
South will be possible.

Don't Shoot Hawks.

Why shoot the chicken hawk
when it comes within range? Why
shoot any hawk? True, we all do
so, or have done so. But why?
For the most part, we fear, be
cause we were simply savages out
20 slay; indeed, more savage than
the savages, for the latter rarely
killed animals which were not
dangerous or which could not be
used. Now, about the hawk, let
us 20 once more 10 Uncle sam,
who is passing wise in many
things. Uncle Sam has been study
ing hawks. OF 124 stomachs of
marsh aawks which were eXamin-
cd, As per cent. of the hawks had
been feeding on mice, Is per cent.
OH other small mammals, Is per
cent. on reptiles, frogs and insects,
and only a very low percentage on
poultry and small birds. We do
not find that this bird was so very
destructive to quail and partridges
after all; and it is under this latter
supposition that most sportsmen
shoot hawks when they find OPP
portunity. Uncle Sam concludes
that the marsh hawk is a beneficial
bird and that its presence and in
crease should be encouraged in
every possible way. Then why
shoot it down, as it fits by, striv-
ing, in its own ancient and APP
pointed way, to get on in the world,
just as each OF us is striving! We
counsel each sportman to think the
matter over, and to remember that
the results of scientific investiga.

hasty suppositions.-F e bruary

IRRIGATION VS.. TEMPORAL.
Cultivation OF the Soil and the Fabulous
Difference in Returns.

The Irrigation Age, I monthly
publication at Pearsall. Texas,
makes some striking comparisons
between the results obtained on
land cultivated with the assistance
of irrigation and land dependent
upon the uncertain rainfall in this
section. Taking five acres as an
example it very forcibly says:
1t is estimated that FIVE acres of
irrigated land are about all one man
can properly attend to. OF course
this matter of acreage all depends
on the kind of crops desired to be
raised. AT certain stages, such as
planting and marketing time con-
ditions may demand the employ
ment of many men on even a few
acres. For instance many farmers
employ as many as thirty or forty
men in transplanting an onion crop
of only a few acres, but on a gen
eral average we may truthfully say
that one man can properly cultivate
FIVE acres of irrigated land. The re-
turns from five acres are simply
enormous when compared with five
acres of dry land, under ordinary
conditions. The yield is at least
FIVE times as much and often when
the dry land farmer is sitting on
the fence watching the heeting
clouds for signs of rain and bemoan-
ing the fact that his crop has gone
by the board" you will find the
happy, contented and prosperous
farmer who believes in irrigation
and practices what he breaches,
busy in his green patch of vege-
tables or in his orchard, gathering
the fruits of his intelligent labor

MEXICAN DRAWN WORK.
The Women Who Make II According to
peOn Contract.

The woman who makes drawn
work on Z Mexican estate is not an
independent worker to whom comes
the money for all the work her def
hands accomplish. She is a woman
whose father or brother or uncle or
mother is in debt to the great
DON" She can do the drawn work,
so the don's agent supplies her
with linen or lawn, a frame and the
requisite implements and indicates
the design that she is to follow,
for, though you may not know it,
there are fashions in drawn work
quite as exclusive and quite as
popular as there are in women hats,
for instance. When the work is
done that poor woman cannot feare
forth 10 market and offer il for
sale. 1t is by the terms of her peon
contract perhaps already sold to
the great don, whose tenant she
is. Miguel, his agent, takes the
work, by now as grimy as the over
alls of an engineer. He has kept
account of the time the women has
been engaged upon it, and for each
of the many days she may have
worked he gives her 7, 8, 9. at
most y cents, but never the last
amount unless she be a thorough
mistress of her craft.
Once a year the Mexican for
whom the women do this work
somewhat as the sweatshop toilers
of Chicago and New York drive
their needles for a master, meet in
solemn conference and determine
what the prices shall be. So great
Is the popularity of drawn work
generally that the supply never
equals the demand, and the profits
made by the Mexican masters of
the drawn work trust, for il Is
really that, are enormous. The
dealer pays these operators" what
they demand, and they demand
much. Therefore the buyers pays
$40 for a cloth" that costs the
manufacturer" II cents a day,
labor hire, for, say, ninety day,
TO produce. Pilgrim.

TARPON FISHING.
Laguna Madre at Brazos Santiago one Of
the Finest Places for Silver King on
Taxas Coast.

That great game fish, the tarponr
isafter all a creature of rather mys-
terious habits. 1t seems first "a
have been discovered as a game
FISH on the east coast of Florida.
Much more recently that IT was
taken in the neighborhood of Pen
sacola. Then came the prodigious
reports from Arkansas Pass and
Corpus Christi, Texas. Lastly, a
few fortunate and adventurous an
glers brought out the greatest tar
pom stories of all from the relative
w little known town of Tampico,
in old Mexico. Thus il is TO be
seen that the tarpon Is found at one
time OF the year or another along a
tremendous strip OF coast country,
even wider than the shores OF the
Gulf Of Mexico. Its breeding
grounds seem TO be well TO the
southwark, and ii seems TO move
north as the lower waters become
too warm for it. By midsummer
II is well all over the middle Gulf
country and Texas. It's migration,
if it have any definite migration,
has never been closely charted. but
that il does move from the MeXi-
can TO the Florida coast and back
again may be accepted as the truth
or something closely parallel to the
truth. II is a fact not generally
known TO those who find time for
this class of sport that the ILaguna
Madre, at Brazos Santiago, is one
of the finest tarpon fishing points
on the gulf coast. There immense
schools of this game fish sport at
will, and would give great sport
to the angler whose choice ran in
this direction. 1t is indeed an in
teresting sight to witness the leap
ing and flashing of these immense
silver kings" as they sport in the
waters of the gulf, seeming to offer
defiance to the angler who would
dare put his gameness to the test.
The scales of the Etarpon are of a
brilliant silver hue, and range in
size from a silver dollar to a small
The brilliancy of these
scales gives rise to the name,
silver king" The flesh of the
.arpon is sometimes eaten, although
he principal attraction in angling
Tor it is its gameness. Its weight
-anges from SO to 200, and from
to 8 feet in length.

SEES IRON A PRECIOUS METAL
Exhaustion of Present Ore Fields Pre-
dicted by Scientist.

Iron as q precious metal is a pos
sihilitv indicated by Prof. Tornebaum
of the Swedish geological survey. he
nredicts that the ore fields of the
present large producing countries
namely: North America, Great Brit
ain, and Germany-will be exhausted
within one or two centuries and the
high grade ores much earlier. The
future center of the iron industry Will
as now, be located where natural fue'
abounds, since the ore travels TO the
coal, and not vice versa. AS a con.
sequence Great Britain, where the coal
sunnlv, it is estimated, will be ex'
hausted in $50 years, will thereupon
cease to be an iron producing country
while in the United States and Ger
many with their much larger coal
areas the iron industry will continue
although being dependent upon I'M
norted ores. For the same reason
north China, where coal and iron are
fonnd associated, is regarded as
promising iron center. Prof. sJogfel
IF the same survey declares that
GREAT iron industry depends on Other
factors as important as the fuel ques
tior OF these factors are the eX
tent richness, and purity OF the ores
freight charges for ores, coal, and lrol
nroducts traffic regulations, etc.
