What Texas Lumber Man Says About
Mexico.

Houston, Tex, Mr.. G. NJ. Dun
can, one of the progressive and enter
prising lumber men of Texas, home
in this city. has just returned from
a protracted business stay in the
Republic or Mexico, part of the
time in the City of Mexico. He
went there in promotion of trade
between Texas and Mexico, in
other words to swell the volume of
trade now being done between the
two countries, and he did it by
closing contracts for millions of
feet of Texas lumber.
He visited, not only the city,
but other points, and while in the
State of Coahuila had the experience
of travelling right through the
locality where an infantile rebellion
was in course of manifestation. He
saw a number of the COW boys
designated as rebels and passed by
the camp of the rurales in watch
upon them. There were about fifty
of the former and one OF them was
killed on the run and the rest, as
Mr.. Duncan put it, took to the
brush and that ended it. He states
that the so-called rebellion was one
of the most thorough intangibles
after that death, that he had ever
attempted to size up. He was satisf-
ed that the Texas official occupy
ing the highest position in the
intangible" department could
not have found it. When pressed
for the measurement of the rebel
lion he said:
There is nothing to it. All this
printed talk is based on the imagi-
native powers of the men who send
out the stories. If you want to say
about the trade between

the two Republics, you may say
that it is growing in all lines, but
let me tell you that the rubber
industry is certainly the biggest
wealth producer in the whole
business. The Guayule plant sup
plies the rubber, and the manufac-
turing process is about as simple
as making sugar cane syrup. By
the very simple process in use the
bush, or weed, can be made to give
up its rubber contents at a cost of
less than one cent on the dollar.
Talk about your gold mines; they
are not in it alongside the manu-
facture and sale of rubber as it is
done down there. No, sir, the
climate and soil for producing the
plant is not confined to Mexico.
It grows at an elevation of 2, 800
feet or more above sea level and
grows in West Texas at that
elevation. Around both FL Paso
and Del Rio in Texas it grows
with great vigor. 1 mention those
places, not that it is confined to
that territory, but because they are
known to our people and in this
case serve to illustrate point. We
all know the part that rubber is now
serving in nearly all phases of the
mechanical arts. 1t is serviceable
in a hundred places that the average
man knows nothings of. Millions
i'll it? Well I should take it up as
a money producer and grow rich. !"
