MUCH MONEY IN MEXICO.
An Open Field for CAPITAL.

An Open Field for Capital.
Since the reformation in the Mex
ican government has been set about,
there has been great reform put in
motion and today she is rapidly COM
ing to the front, offering great in
ducements to foreign capital which is
shown by the increase of over $22,-
100000 in the deposits in her banks
the past year. This, with added capi-
tai mixed with American energy,
push and brains, will no doubt not
only help bring about a better con-
dition of things, but also bring large
returns to the investors James Fer
nandez, wealthy ranchero whose
large estates are in close proximity
to the City of Mexico, published the
following in a leading Mexican jour-
nal relative to the Mexican National
Sugar Refining Company, in which
many gentlemen of Umatilla and
Walla Walla are interested:
1T is a source of profound satis-
faction to the people of Mexico to
know that American capital is visit
Ing our country with the view of in
vesting.~ We believe there is no bet
ter location on the face of the globe,
as our acres are resourceful to an
extent unparalleled, but we do feel.
more or less a slight pang of jealousy
when such a magnificent plantation
as the Ell Potrero is taken from us
by enterprising Americans. This
grand plantation is one of our Oldest
and best, and will yield for the Amer
lean company one of Mexicos great
est fortunes. However, we must be
patient and have a lesson from the
enterprising northerners of a charac-
ter that will inspire our home people
to develop"

voted 20 pages with magnificent il

The private car of b. A. Worthing-
ton, vice-president and general man
ager of the o. r. * ~, will leave
Portland Friday night, carrying Mr..
Worthington, Governor Chamberlain,
W. A. Cotton, general attorney of the
o. r. & N; Senator c. w. Fulton and
r. Is. Miller, general freight agent of
the o. r. & N, who are scheduled to
address the people of Umatilla county
at the May Day picnic to be held at
Echo on Saturday, May 6.
The car bearing its distinguished
party will arrive at Echo on No. G.,
at 4 o'clock Saturday morning and
the officials will spend the day at
Echo, returning to Portland on Sat
urday night at II o'clock.
All of these gentlemen are on the
program for addresses during the day
and it will be the best opportunity
ever afforded the people of Umatilla
county to meet and mingle with those
who handle the commercial and pub
lie interests of the state.
Aside from the addresses to be de-
livered by these gentlemen an elabor-
ate literary and musical program will
be rendered, the Mormon band of La
Grande, consisting of % fine musi-
clans, will furnish the music for the
day.
basket dinner and barbecued OK
will also be prepared and it is ex-
pected to make it the most complete
and successful picnic ever held in
Eastern oregon. The citizens of
Echo have spared neither pains nor
money to make it a success. A large
amount of money has been donated,
80 men have been employed in the
preparations and all is now in readi-
ness for the event.
Pendleton is especially urged to
send a large representation of busi-
ness men to Echo on this occasion,
as it will be the only such opportuni-
ty afforded the people of Umatilla
county to hear public and local issues
discussed by public men.
A large delegation from here, it is
thought, will stimulate interest in
the coming good roads convention in
this city.
The state officials and railroad Of
ficials are deeply interested in bet
ter country roads, and they will
heartily cooperate with Pendleton in
securing large attendance of prom
inent people for the Pendleton meet
ing, which will be held on May Is
16.

and the Virginia & Truckee railroads
and the recent enormous activity in
gold and silver mining in Nevada in
sures nearby and profitable market
AT the same time the supply of food
products will greatly reduce the cost
of living and further stimulate min
ing development.
The fact that a very large portion
of the lands included in this project
belong to the government and have
been withdrawn from speculative en-
try under the desert and other land
laws, is a matter for congratulation
Nevada's past history has been one of
land monopoly, in fact, it has been
said that the state was long since
stolen by land robbers. In area Ne
vada Is three times the size of In
diana, but her population is scarcely
sufficient for single small county.
The popular vote of last year was but
little over 10000. The bulk of the
inhabitable lands are in the hands
of few great land owners, while the
opportunity for settlement and in
creased population has never been ex-
tensive. Nevada's land history is one
which can be studied with profit by
those who are searching for light on
the question of proper administration
of the public domain. With exception
of the influx of immigration due to
mining excitement, the population is
at a. standstill and must continue to
remain so until farm lands are thrown
open to settlement in small tracts
through government irrigation.
Stealing Away the State.
When the state was admitted to the
Union, in place of receiving the usual
donation of alternate school sections
-16 and 80 in each township-she
secured flat grant from the govern
ment of two million acres of public
land to be located wherever her law
makers saw fit. The state legislature
passed as much as desired of this
great and valuable resource into pri-
vate ownership to stockmen. at as
low figure as 25 cents an acre.
These lands have been located up and
down the sides of every river and
stream and around every spring and
water hole. in the state. so that while
Nevada has today some 60 million
acres of public land, there is not a
quarter section of 1t upon which a
homesteader could make a living. The
land granted to the state for school
purposes-dlsposed of by the state
for a mess of pottage-controls the
lands of the state.
The governments irrigation, when
worked out. will Immediately double
Nevada's population; it will provide a
new life-blood of settlement and citi-
zenship for a region of unsurpassed
agriculture.
This great reclamation scheme for
the rebuilding of Nevada is being car
ried into operation by Engineer L. II.
Taylor, under the supervision of Fred
erick H. Newell, chief engineer of the
reclamation service. 1t will afford
the first practical example of the
operations of the new national irriga-
tion law.-Guy Elliott Mitchell.

Just What Happened.

With the opening Of the base ball
season, the following puzzle is going
the rounds: Two teams, A and b, are
playing. Ais at the bat in the last
half Of the ninth inning. The score
is 5 to 4 in favor OF B. Two men
are out, a man on second and third.
The batter hits the ball into fair terri
tory, but it is not bit. There is no
putout, no base runner hit BY bat
ted ball and no assist, yet A wins the
game BY 8 score Of 8 to 5. What
was the playP 1t is respectfully re-
ierred to Yes Shearer for solution.
-[ReaectOr.
Mr.. shsarer says this is what hap
pensd: The batter knocked . ball
which was funblsd BY a fielder, so
that 1t was not . hit. neither was he
put out. By the time the ball was
recovered and handled the msn on

Practically the entire diplomatic
corps was represented, The American
guests who numbered several hun
dred included Henry Watterson, j.
Pierpont Morgan and President Dali

commerce, the latter acting as presi-
ding officer.
A letter from Secretary Hay in which
he paid tribute to Gen. Porter's
brilliant career was read.
The speech of Gen. Porter brought
out tremendous ovation the entire
assemblage rising and cheering.
Mr.. Watterson made characteris-

ute to Gen. Porter took up the
achievements of Paul Jones. His clos

respond to the toast to France. M.
Rouvier spoke Of the traditional spirit
in America and France, for liberty.
Each day, he said, brought the coun-
tries closer and closer together. In the
name Of President Loubet the premier
expressed profound regret at Gen. Por-
ter's departure and renewed assurances
Of lasting friendship between the two
republics. M. Doumer, president OF
the chamber Of deputies, toasted Gen.
Porter as "a son of the great republic
which is pointing the way Of progress

Foreign minister Delcasse was en-
Enthusiastically received and paid sur

to Gen. Porter. II the relations be-
tween France and the United States

due largely to the ability and skill OF
the ambassador from the latter coun-
try. He returns now, continued M.
Delcassc, to the powerful country
whose prodlgious development COM
manded the admiration Of the world.
The minister closed with proposing
the health Of President Roosevelt
