THE GULF COAST OF
TEXAS
A LAND "FLoWINo IN MILK AND
HONEY"
semi-Troplcai Climate; Vast Yields Of
Vegetables and Fruit.

Corpus Christi, Tex, Feb. IA
The lower Rio Grande Valley is
sometimes enormously referred to as
Southwest Texas, and SO is ElPaso,
but THEY ARE EIGHT HUNDRED
MILES APART.
1t is Winter in Northern Texas while
the Gulf Coast country is enjoying
sunshine like that of May.
In fact the Gulf Coast knows no
Winter-every month is a growing
month.
Texas produces wheat like Mime
sofa, corn like Illinois, and more cot.
ton than any other two Southern
States combined. And no part of this
great State surpasses in opportunity
and possibilities the Gulf Coast Coun-
try and the region down by the Rio
Grande.
Artesian water was discovered five
or six years ago on the great King
Ranch, near Corpus Christi. AS time
went on the Artesian Belt was extend
ed until 1t now covers the territory
from Robstown, sixteen miles west OF
Corpus Christi, to Raymondville. and is
being extended monthly with every in
dication that satisfactory flow will
be obtained in all territory not covered
by the systems Of irrigation on the
Rio Grande.
One Of the most successful planters
on the Rio Grande is Mr.. John Closner.
who owns six thousand acres near HI
dalgo, on the s. L., B. & NJ. Ry. From
thirty-three acres of Bermuda onions
Mr.. Closner last year (1906) shipped
thirty-five carloads of as fine onions
as were ever grown. This crop alone
netted him $4,000.
Two crops of corn can be grown on
the same land each year along the
Rio Grande. Rice, cotton and numer.
Gus other crops, as well as great
variety of fruit can be grown just as
successfully. At a dinner recently
given some visitors, Gulf Coast agri-
culturist set fifteen (15) different va
rieties Of vegetables before his guests.
A comprehensive book Of eighty
pages. profusely illustrated and fully
descriptive Of the Texas Gulf Coast

Irrigated Lands.

Do you know that at this time you
can secure irrigated land in the Big
Horn Basin. Wyoming, for but little
more than the cost of water for irri-
eating? 1t will not be so, very much
longer. II interested, let me tell you
about the present opportunities to get
land In this new country, where crops
never fail, and where there is a good
home market for everything produced.

Expensive City to Live In.

High prices continue to rule in Daw-
son City. which is probably the most
expensive town in the world. 1t Is q
thriving place with a population OF
over 5000, with warehouses, churches,
banks, electric lights, Wholesale and
retail stores and two up-to-date news.
papers. The newspapers themselves
are worthy OF consideration in the
light of expense. for they cost rs cents
a copy. At this time Of the year three
eggs ordered in restaurant cost
$3.50. while caribou steak costs one
dollar. Beer is worth one dollar bot
tie and champagne S10.50 quart.

CAMADA'S GOOD TIMES.
Tho immigration During 1905 Was
$4,000.

While It is well to heed every
word of caution from the leaders In
commerce and finance and to avoid
all speculative ventures that lack
solid business foundation, 1t is clearly
evident that there Is no conspicuous
weak spot in Canada's present era Of
prosperity. The Toronto Globe says:
THE Dominion has in a commercial
sense plenty Of money. and our lead
ing financial institutions are In a po-
sition to lend freely In the United
States. The chief productive enter
prises of Canada are not buoyed up
by an era of dangerous speculation,
but are following substantial busl-
ness methods and finding safe and
continuous markets for their goods.
We are not bolstering UP any indus
tries by extensive export bonuses
that must impoverish the people as
4 whole, and ultimately lead to col
lapse through the failure of the arti-
fetal aid. There is no extreme pro-
lection in Canada such as would Gre
ate great fortunes for q few at the
expense of the general public and
lead to disruption and catastrophe.
The prosperity of Canada has no ar
tificlal foundation being based on a
healthy and substantial expansion Of
trade and industry, with a proportion
ate extension of productive settlement
to new areas.
1t Is true that we are borrowing
extensively for railway construction,
but every line will bring new terri
tory within the limits of profitable
occupation, and will create prosper
GUS settlements to bear the burdens
and repay the outlay. We are not
exhausting mineral resources, for 1t
Is quite reasonable to assume that,
although mineral wealth Is never
permanent, ours will during the
measurable future develop far
greater productive capacity than at
present. Our timber wealth can be
made continuous by judicious pol
icy. And agriculture, the real foun-
dalton of our prosperity, Is expanding
with every new expenditure on rail.
way COustTuCIlou. we are not III
the flush of a railway mania that
could bring its punishment through
the useless duplication of lines. The
gigantic railway enterprises that
now stimulate every line Of business
in Canada will create a new Domin-
ion, and thus render easy the heavy
burdens of debt now freely assumed.
Canada's era Of prosperity has been
unprecedented, but there is no sign
Of weakness and no cause for lack
of confidence. While our growth is
normal and healthy, we need have NO
alarm at its rapidity." This article
might have gone on to relate the
great growth that Is taking place in
Central Canada, where thousands OF
Americans have made their homes
during the past few years. The past
calendar year has given to Canada by
importation an addition of $4,000 to
it's population. OF this the United
States contributed 63,7s1. The agents
Of the Canadian government, whose
advertisement appears elsewhere, say
that this number will be largely in
creased during 1907.

MRS. eLVA BARBER EDWARDS

There are three critical stages in a
woman's life which leave their mark
in her career. The first OF these stages
is womanhood, or the change from a
care free girl to budding womanhood,
The second is motherhood, and the
third is Change of Life.
Perils surround each Of these stages,
and most of the misery that comes
to women through i'll health dates
from one or another OF these i'm
portant crises.
Women should remember that Lydia
