THE HERALD is in receipt of
letter of inquiry, which says: We
wish to buy eight to twelve thous-
and acres of choice cotton, alfalfa
and truck land near railroad, and
where plenty of water can be had
to irrigate, suitable to sub-divide.
Can you put us in correspondence
with one or more reliable real
estate men who could assist us in
purchasing such tract of land?'
Parties having the amount and
character of land desired, will be
furnished with the name of parties
desiring to purchase, on applica-

A very interfering ball game was
played on the post diamond Sun
day afternoon, between the town
town and the Mexican nine. The
playing was spirited and while the
game was not without errors, there
were many good plays on both
sides, several innings being PLAYED
without eithc: side scoring, and
the goose eggs were much in ev-
idence. The score was 6 to 8 in
favor of the Mexican team. The
town boys do not feel that they
threw the game away, for the
Mexican team plays good bali,
their fielding and batting being
very good indeed. A wild
throw in the fifth inning al
lowed the Mexican team to put
two or three men over the home
plate, and the town boys could
never catch up any more. All
together the game was the best
that has been played on the post
diamond in some time.
THK HERALD learns from c.
Lindsey that all arrangement have
been perfected for the placing of an
cotton seed oil mill at Olmito in
time for the next seasons crop.
The plant will be of so tons capac-
ity, and will afford a market for
all cotton seed in this section. The
company putting in the plant will
be incorporated, and will have all
facilities for the proper handling
of the cotton seed products.
Owing to the large demand for oil
products in Mexico, there will be
no trouble in disposing of the out
put, and the near proximity to the
republic makes Olmito a very
desirable locality for an oil mill
The demand for stock feed can also
be supplied from the mill, and
stockmen and dairymen will have
no trouble in securing feed at
home. This will obviate the
necessity of moving cattle to other
sections for feeding purposes, or

Some one has said, records the Bos-
ton Advertiser, that this indicates a
problem: There are today S0,502 more
women than men in the state of Mas
sachusetts. The surplus of women In
the state has gained by nearly II, 1000 in
the last fifteen years. But 1t is not a
problem. Let them come. The state
is glad of it, and if we are satisfied
why quail before the attacks Of envious
outsiders? Massachusetts has as much
to be proud of in its ome as in any
other factor in her history, even IL
there are occasional queer theories and
freaks of reform laid at their doors.
Massachusetts, has produced more IA
nous women than any other part OF
the world, and her women have left
an impression on history which the
women of no other part of the world
have duplicated. American poetry may
be said to have sprung from the brain
of Mrs. Ann Bradstreet, and the first
American novel to achieve greatness
was charlotte Temple" by Susanna
Haswell, of Massachusetts. And in lit
erature the Massachusetts, women are
holding a good place. Considering all
that Massachusetts, women have done
for the state in the past, there is COM
fort in the thought that the number
of them, in excess of the men, is in.
creasing, rather than diminishing. We
can always find men enough to scratch
along with. They grow everywhere,
and perhaps they average up about the
same wherever found. But a Massa-
chusetts woman is the choicest bloom
of humanity.

hundred miles to join the revolution

The coming of the Austrian Maxi
milan was notly resented by Diaz,
who, imprisoned by the French sup
porters of the European ruler. refused
to be led forth to meet him. BY and
by he had his revenge. He escaped
in exciting circumstances and kept
the flag of revolt flying in southern
Mexico. Puebla presently fell before
mis- arms and Mexico City surrendered
to him. Diaz loyalty gave the city to
the Republican Government Of Juarez
and retired to the neighborhood OF his
birthplace, until the spirit of revolu-
ton, which seems ~perpetually latent
or loose in Southern American poll
tics, upset the power of Juarez.
Diaz felt he was the man for the
hour; and quietly presented himself
at the capital November %, 1876.
Next day he made his triumphal en-
try into the city and rode up to the
palace, where he established himself
practically for life" For nearly thirty
years the authority of the able and
courageous ruler has remained un'
moved. His regular reelection to the
Presidential office mas become a COM
monplace of history. The enormous
territory under his strong and faith
full control has reaped a hundred
benefits. From anarchy its political
and social conditions have passed to
those of prosperity and peace.

we learn, sanctioned the writing OF this
biography, and assisted the author by
lending her his private diaries. Mrs.

WEALTH HID IN THE SAND.
steel of Good Quality Made From
That on Pacific Coast.


DR.. David T. Day, a government ex-
s,ert. has created a new industry IN
the Northwest. After months of pa
tent investigation, says the Worlds
Work, he has proved that the common
black sands of the Pacific Coast are
rich in useful minerals and that good
steel can be made from this sand. Man
ufacturers of placer-machinery are now
deyising improved mining apparatus
for working the sands.
The little smelter at which DR.. Day
made his experiments was in a corner
within the grounds of the Portland Elk
position. The results were not COM
bleted. however, until after the Elk
position had closed. Sea sands Of va
rious kinds and colors were tested for
many months. New magnetic separa-
sors and other machines were manu-
featured and sent to the laboratory
especially for the work. Every day
during the fair, and long after the
crowds had departed the separating
tables and furnaces were kept in oper-
alton. until mineral after mineral had
been found. Some of the sand pro-
duced GA pounds OF magnetic iron ore
to the ton. Gold was found, platinum
also, and a number of other minerals.
Not enough of any n material is
contained in a ton of the sand to make
working it profitable, but the total
product of all the different minerals
proves that mining the black sand will
paw. There is considerable platinum,
worth S21 an ounce, and some tanta-
tum. so called because it has long tan
talized the chemists, who have only
within a few months been able to find
enough of it to examine it and cons1d-
Ar it's usefulness. Dr.. Day believes
that within ten years it will be used

Cues ion and Answer.

The Rochester Democrat inquiries what
would have been the effect If the banks
had been attacked as have been the insur-
ance companies. In addition to a news
paper crusade in the North against insur-
ance companies, the earthquake gave some
of them a terrible jolt. That they have
stood these tests so we'll is because they
distribute their risks and do business better
than in years past when one or two great
fires would sometimes start a financial
panic. In the South the Mississippi Home
Insurance Company has conducted Its bust
ness so safely that it is stronger than ever.

Asia's wealth of coal, as to which it
