]. II. Norwood, who travels out
OF St. Louis and in this territory
as we'll as West Texas, says: "A
very large part of the immigration
that is going TO the western coun-
ties comes from Central Texas.
In one of the banks in a western
town there are $500, 900 deposited
by people recently moved there
from one county i'll Central Texas.
The case is similar with regard TO
other counties, and as a result
Western Texas is experiencing a
great boom. To my mind this
cannot last long and many are go

entirely divorced from their cash

me, is good enough for anybody

A LIBERDADE
ON IMMIGRATION

Following is the translation of an
editorial in the Portuguese paper A
Liberdade, in which some advice is
given to intending Portuguese immi-
grants and to the Board of Educa-
ton:
In view of what we know happened
on board the Suveric, we can not blame
the Spaniards for refusing to continue
on their voyage until they were salts
fed with the accommodations and pro-
visions on board the Heliopolis, and
as we are now with our hands in the
dough, we would call the attention
of those Portuguese who are about to
leave Funchal to what the Spaniards did
and not to embark aboard the kumerlc
unless they are satisfied that there is
on board the ship, sufficient food, good
accommodations, good cooks, who know
how to cook according to the Portu-
guese style, and above all, Portu-
guese commissioner who knows how
to speak the language of the crew, in
order that he may take upon himself
the welfare of the immigrants during
the voyage. What we are pointing out
are the essential points which should
be attended to by the members of the
Board of immigration of this Terri
tory, but unfortunately nothing has,
as yet been done by them and as we
see it, the lesson given by the Spaniards
as yet, been done by them and as we
are anxious to see our countrymen come
here by the thousands, it is for that
reason that we mention the subject on
this occasion. Good treatment on board
the ship during the voyage is the
best way to obtain more immigrants,
and for this reason we advise the
Board of immigration to attend to this
matter Immediately in order that the
Suveric case may not be repeated.

of fine grade worth nearly $50 a

wonder that plantations of Hevea and
Fiscus elastiea are valued like gold
mines.

markets highest standard, and accord
ingly to the Amazon and her tributaries
men are lured as others are lured to
golden Australia. Moreover, artificial
planting is in progress all over the
tropics, especially in Ceylon, the Malay
Peninsula, India and Mexico.
Borneo and Java, too, are beginning
to enter the markets with crude rub
Der, and so are Colombia, Ecuador,
Bolivia, Peru, the Philippines, Hawaii,
the Seychelles, the west coast of Africa
and the West Indies. Last season al
most the whole supply of the African
west coast, about 1920 tons, was sold
in advance, owing to the great demand
for tires for automobiles.
But like gold, nature guards this
commodity with jealous care and
poisonous reptiles and hostile savages.
1t is believed that the basin of the
Amazon could supply the whole world
with rubber could only the natural OBJ
stacles be overcome.
The Amazon Indians cure their rub
Der for the market by dipping a paddle
in the thick latex or milk of the rub
Der tree and then whirling it over a
smoky fire made from special kind
of nut until the water is evaporated
and leaves thin film of rubber This
process is repeated time after time,
until ball of crude rubber larger than
mans head is built up.
On cultivated rubber estates the
material is coagulated in cakes known
in the trade as biscuits. Rubber ex-
perts are convinced that the demand
will exceed the supply for the next
fifty years at least; for while artificial
plantations in one region are quite
hardy, in others they have to be cared
for like delicate child.
As to the demand, there is perhaps
no article in nature in more general
use, ranging from a woman's water
proof to electrical engineering. The
last few seasons of motor vehicles have
increased the demand for rubber by
nearly $12,00o,000 a year.
1t is no wonder that chemists and in
ventors have striven for generations to
discover some substitute for natural
rubber, but all efforts have so far been
in vain. As to artificial cultivation
there can be no doubt of its profits,
once a really mature plantation is es-
tablished and the trees in trim to be
tapped or MIXED.

the whole soil is turned over to a

The land is then divided into beds
