The IMPRESSION is growing, says an
exchange, that the United States Will
soon have trouble with her little
child Cuba. This little child is said
to be growing very independent.
Many Cubans say that the assistance
given by the United States in the
war with Spain only fastened by
few years Cuba independence, and
that Cuba would have worked out In
time the problem alone. 1t might be
a good thing for Cuba to tramp it,
awhile in order to learn to what an
extent it is dependent upon the
United States.
Cart. Evan p. Howell, for many

battery of artillery. Captain Howell
held many public offices, concluding
term as mayor of Atlanta only last

The Coming Country,

The opportunity for the man of
little means it probably better to-do,
in the prairie States of the Son+5
west than ever before in the historv
of the nation. The chance Of nre
empting claims or of taking IN lands
under government laws is gone and
will not return again. It IS a differ
ent kind of opening which lies beforo
the settler and it's promise is of px-
ceeding brightness. Its best oppor-
tunity is shown in the great South
west where the transformation is 90
ing on and where the condition of
soil and climate is in harmony with
the warm skies and temrcratc winds
To the man who is not satisfied with
his condition, the Southwest has an
invitinp future.
Along the lines of the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas Railway there are
vast areas Of unimproved lands
awaiting willing hands to make them
yield the bountiful crops of which
the land is capable. There is need
of stores, factories and new business
of every description. It is the finest
kind of an opportunity iii the finest
section of the United States. The
Southwest is unexcelled for the va
riety and fertility of its soils-for
it's climate. It's people are progress
sive and up-to-date, it's religious and
educational facilities are as good as
can be found elsewhere.
The NJ, X. & 7. R'y has no lands
for sale, but is interested in build
ing up this productive country. It
is believed that the Southwest has
brighter prospects and offers better
opportunities than any other section.
Seeing is believing. For that reason
the Southwest courts investigation
of the conditions as they exist. Any
one desirous of learning more Of the
; Southwest will do we'll to address

Great Irrigation Plant is Building.

Plans for the largest irrigation
plant yet undertaken by the Federal
government have been completed by
the bureau of reclamation of arid
lands. 1t is what is known as the FL
Paso system. which has been the sub
ject of agitation in Texas for
quarter of a century. Last winter
Congress, by a special act, made this
project one for the bureau to take
up at once. It's cost is to be S7,2OO,-
900, the greatest of any work of the
kind ever undertaken in the United
States. The plan is to construct a
dam near Engle, n. NJ, 100 miles
north of FL Paso, on the Rio Grande.
by which water enough will be saved
to irrigate 100000 acres of the rich
est land in the West, lying in New
Mexico and Texas, and also 10000
acres in Mexico. The Rio Grande
being an international stream it will
require the completion of a pending
treaty between the United States and
Mexico before the work can be be-
gun. Mexico for many years has
complained that the farmers on this
side of the boundary are using up
the water of the river, which for 400
years the Pueblo Indians used to ir-
rigate their fields. They raised mag
nifcent crops of corn and cereals ur
to within a quarter of a century
Since then the white farmers have
used the water for their own advan-
tage.
