about Z5O acres. There wefetwon. ty.two blows running in the field and they quit work for the day q. we drove up Co the house. Next season Don Pedro will do his plow- ing with a gang of ten blows drawn by traction engine, with which he can plow forty acres in a day After a short visit we returned to Ontagota for the night.
 Tuesday morning we drove to Bacum, a distance of ten miles stopping on the road near Onta. gotta to call upon MT. A. Butter field, another American who has valuable landed interests in the valley. At Bacum we called upon MT. k. M. Anderson, an American from Los Angeles, California, who has been in the vicinity a couple of years. and has his family with him. Mir. Anderson has valuable ranche farther down the river, where he has raised good crops. Near Ba- cum he has leased 100 acres of land which he is preparing to plant to tomatoes. We went down to the scene of his operations to find him Returning to Bacum we dined with Mir. and Mrs. Anderson, returning in the afternoon to Esperanza, a distance of ten miles.
 This communication has stretched out to an unusual length, but there has been so much that has attracted attention that 1t has seemed almost impossible to bring it to a close. But an end must come, and mention of the townsite at Esperanza, descriptions of the methods of cultivation of the vari- ous products, with accounts of the wonderful returns. have to be reserved for other articles in com ing issues.
 Nor is the great area south of the Yaqui river all that there is in the great delta. Upon the north side Is another wide stretch of the same rich and fertile land, all of which will be reclaimed and brought to a high state of cultiva- tion within the next half century. Over there the Richardson Con- struction Company has heavy holdings, including several hundred thousand acres (the entire acreage of the company both sides of the river aggregates 550,000). The company has a concession to con- struct a canal to cover that side of the delta. Under it's provisions they have three years in which to begin work, and ten in which to complete the canal. But outside of their holdings are several hundred thousand acres, which will be served by the canal they will build. Taken altogether the valley includes an area of nearly one and one-half million acres of land, all susceptible of cultivation, with the flow of a great river assur- ing an abundance of water for reclamation and irrigation of every acre. It is larger than some states. With the great fertility of the soil it is destined to support a redun- dant population; and it may be correctly and accurately described by use of the leading caption of this article: "The Coming Empire" :"

 Everything is new, and they were
 inst getting the machinery down
 to working order. We rode on
 the engine the length of one ki-
 lometre, and saw the operation of
 the machine. As the engine drag
 ged the grader over the course subsoil blow cut broad furrow to depth of eighteen inches, the dirt
 being thrown upon a carrier which conveyed 1t outside of the trench to the bank of the canal. One ki- lometre or two kilometres at a time is gone over, up one side and down the other, until all the earth is removed from the canal channel, which is fifteen metres in width on the bottom. and metre in depth. Before beginning to cut the chan nel several furrows are plowed on each side in the surface of the ground where the earth to be ex- cavated will be deposited to form the banks. That makes a close joint between the surface and the new earth in the banks, and is guard against sipage water when the canal is full from searching weak places in the bank and work ing through, making a break. When the bank has risen foot or so it is rolled and packed by the traction engine, supplying smooth surface, which is plowed before raising the bank any higher. That makes another close joint, designed for the same purpose. This process is continued until the last round of the engine and machine is made, and that section is finished, when another kilometre is started, and the work described is repeated. When working we'll, in favorable soil the machine will excavate 1 ,000 cubic yards in day of ten hours.
 MT Edmondson, one of the con- tracing firm, who has had several years experience in rice cultivation in Texas, stated to the editor that he considers that rice will be suc- cessfully and profitably grown in the Yaqui delta; and he will lease tract of land, which he will seed in rice next winter. He has bought two blocks of the land farther south, that will be covered by the extension of the canal now build ing, but not in time for a crop next year. He will have water there and be prepared to put l, 200 acres into rice in 1909. Mir. Ed mondson's description of the plant ing, cultivation and harvesting of rice was very interesting and will be given space in the future.
 At the grading camp we met MT. A. M. Gildea, of Nogales, who is foreman of gang of men engaged | in clearing the course of the canal from brush. He had been in the valley since May.
 Leaving the camp at the end of the work we went southward a couple of hours, covering distance of about ten miles, looking over the lands, all perfectly level, and stretching away to the shore of the gulf, twenty miles or more distant. Returning we reached Ontagota in the afternoon; and at evening the wagon was hitched to a fresh ! team of four mules, and We went to the westward a distance of a couple of miles, to San Pedro, to visit the place of Don Pedro B.
