Even at this rate, a ten-acre share
Will give an income of $1.S00 per year,
or $3.50 per month. Ten shares can be
purchased now for s2.500.00, and where
we would like TO inquire, can such an

be sold at S250.00, the remaining 300 will
be sold for $4,000 per acre. We are
not theorizing, we are simply doing

productive the ground is. it was stated
by a recent visitor to the place that
he saw old banana stalks when We're

In addition to the culture OF bananas,
every variety of tropical fruits is
grown, and all without exception do
well.

PRODUCTIVENESS OF THE SOIL.
The soil along the Panuco river il
fifteen feet deep. II is an alluvial de-
post. Just how many years ago the
river flowed over these fields is not
known. The water marks. along the
hills of Utah tell of a time when these
Utah valleys were seas of water. So at
one time the great Panuco river ran
over the place. Today its banks are
10 feet high. Some might think there
will be danger Of food. but the fact
remains that the whole city of Tam
pice is on lower ground that this plan

This alluvial deposit makes an ideal
soil for the production of this fruit

the wonderful productiveness of this
ground. It's resources are well nigh

temptation to drink is removed and
good results are obtained
THE MARKET.
At the present time it is deemed best
to contract the entire output of the
plantation at a given price, viz, soc
a bunch. A contract can be arranged
on these terms for a number Of years.
Every bunch raised can be marketed
in this way. Perhaps better price
could be obtained If the fruit was sold
direct to the merchant. but the risk
and annoyance all is done away with
by the plan suggested.
THE MEN BEHIND 1T
Much Of the success of this movement
depends upon the kind of men who
are handling the company's business.
If it is handled wisely and honestly,
there will be success for everyone con-

The work on the plantation will be
under the direction Of j. NJ. Jensen.
Mr. Jensen has a 2.000-acre farm near
Brigham City. and has also large hold
ings in Cache valley. His success as

we'll known. He has amassed a laEge
fortune already in this his chosen pro-

in the hands of his sons, who possess
much of their fathers ability in this
direction. He will devote his time to
the TampicO Fruit Co. plantation and
will be soon on his way to that place.
We have secured the services of an
experienced banana grower in the per-
son of Alex Smith. who has been rails

active for the real estate men, the inquiry

ket has been the scope of this inquiry.

early spring. it has spread to the west

Bankers are experiencing a better de-

made by drying the fruit before

coffee connoisseurs can detect it

suited there would have been something
Of a decrease in the spring trade OF the
dealers. Nevada mining camps are open
ing up with the safer conditions OF coun-
try roads and a-big trade has resulted
from this.
The Lumbermen.
Local Iumbermen. both yardmen and
wholesalers. are in better condition TO
meet the requirements of the present
spring trade than. are the lumbermen Of
almost any other section OF the inter
mountain country The labor troubles on
the Pacific coast in the lumber mills aud
the transportation difficulties, caught the
local dealers well stocked up and FOR the
present at least there Is little probability
that Salt Lake and vicinity viii suffer
from the western disturbances. Shingles
are very scarce, however, and there is
little prospect Of any being shipped in
for at least sixty days. Planning mill men
here are very busy and indications point
to an exceedingly active summer and
ia n for that industry.
The scarcity of teams in the city is
causing the brick men as well as con
tractors some worry. The coal dealers
are offering every fnducement TO the
teamsters and have succeeded in obtain
ing good many men. The brick men re-
port trouble in getting their product ham
died and contractors say they cannot Sc
cure enough teams for the eXcavating
work that is under way about town. The
Salt Lake Brick company have received
the machinery for the new kiln to he
erected by them and which is to be com
pieted within thirty days.
With the Builders.
There are as few rentaBle houses in
the city today as week ago. The out
look however, is brighter than ii was
ten days ago. Building operations are
proceeding rapidly and by June ] a large
number OF fair-sized houses in the north
east and southeast sections of the city
will be completed and ready for occu-
pancy and probably one or two Of the
smaller apartment houses and flat build
ings. The daarth in rooms and lodgings
OF all kinds at present. however. is unique
in the history of the city. Labor cir
cIes are quiet, the plumbers strike hav-
ing been satisfactorily settled.

weeks l5.600 cubic yards of dirt will be
removed and work started for the fOunda-

To Prevent Typhoid Fever

In the several cases of typhoid
fever, where | was called in, / have
noticed a fear among the attendants
OF infection, but none seemed ex-
actly to know what to do, or how
to avoid it. There is very little
danger Of infection through the at
mosphere, but almost entirely
through the stomach. Hence, be
careful what you eat or drink at a
house where the disease exists, or
a dead body may be, and remember
that the house flies are the carriers
OF the disease. Impure drinking
water is the chief cause OF it, and
should receive the strictest atten-
ton. No doubt our water vendors
keep their own tanks clean, but
are the tanks at the wells clean,
and protected against the dust and
filth carried about by the winds ?
Are they located in clean yards,
and covered1 Are the wells pro-
tected so no surface sewerage or
filthy water can find it's way below
Then again, it is but a short way
from decaying kitchen refuse and
open, vaultless privies to the water
barrel and into the kitchen. Here
perhaps is the greatest danger OF
infection, the open water barrel,
which is only too often easy of ac-
ess to the poison laden dust and
to the fly.
All garbage should be removed
The Tucumcari news and Tucumcari times. [volume] (Tucumcari, N.M.) 1907-1921, 1907-08-31

or burned, and privie vaults dug
and disinfected. The excreta of
patients should not be thrown into
the vault without disinfecting them
first. This is done by adding to
them a little of the following So
luton Bi-chloride Mercury, one
ounce; water, m gallon. This
is highly poisonous and must be
used with care. Let stand four to
six hours. Formaldehyde also may
be used. In case of death or re-
covery, burn the bedding and
clothes solled by the e~xcreta, but
it valuable, boil them, and If they
can not be boiled, place into above
solution for twenty-four hours,
stirring occasionally with a stick -
not with your hands. dc not eat
or drink any and everywhere. This
danger Of typhoid fever will exist
as long as our water supply is OF
the present kind, and while less
water is drank in winter, the winds
will carry the contamination Just
the same.
look forward to the opening of
school with apprehension on &C
count of the poor arrangement of
water supply there, and rs the
members of the school board are
not expected to be sanitarious, |
would most respectfully suggest
that they have placed in the school
house a tank Cor reservoir with
