Work to Begin at
 Once on C. C. & M.

That active construction work Q the Colorado, Columbus and Mexican railway, which will traverse New Mex. ico from north to south, is to begin at once, is evidenced by the closing of an important contract with the Carter Lumber company, operating extensive saw mills in eastern Texas, for 36 000.. 900 board feet of ties, timbers and pil- ing, or 3,000 cars of lumber, for imme- diate delivery.
 The contract jlst closed is one of the largest made with any railroad in recent years. The survey for the new road has been under way for sev- ersl months and is all but completed.
 The object of the officials of the new lire is to get cheap coal to Fl Paso and southern Arizona points, ard the claim is made that this new line, which will tap the mammoth coal beds of San Juan county in the northwestern New Mexico, will be able to lay the fuel down at Fl Psso and other common points as cheap as S4 per ton, or less than half the amount now paid ioi coal there. Thus the southern Ari- zona mining camps will be supplied with cheap fuel for smelting and heat ing purposes.

Sonora Man Confirms
 the Report Anent laps

Home Ranch D.H. ohnson Cattle Co.,,
 Sonora, Mexico, April l, 1908.
 EDITOR PRosPEcToa: read an article in your recent issue headed, viz: "The Surprising Activity of the Japs in Mex ico." The article referred to the bor- der of Chihuahua, and I can say the same thing for this part of the border of SonUrs. This company's ranch borders the international line south of Douglas, some twenty-hve miles east and west, and during the last eighteen months past, being ss l am, ranch foreman. have had an opportunity to meet and talk with quite a number. They all want employment here be- cause they say it is close to Douglas, (the Home Ranch is oily five miles south of Douglssl and they say they have to work in order to get money to send to their roayordomo Tn San Francisco. They have to send $50. as near as I can learn, every four months. They are all soldiers, and one in pa-- ticular showed me ( bullet hole in his leg that he said that he got in Port Arthur. They say they are going to whip the United States. They say that they can do it easily as they whipped Russia and Russia is much larger than the U. s.
 When asked why they want to fight the United States they ask you why the United States won't let the Jsps go there. That's all you can get out of them.
 There has been six different map. made of this ranch that I know of, one that saw could be considered an expert piece of drawing Now, the question is, while the Jsps a e keep ing their government posted on every thing here, why not us Americans who are in shis country) keep Uncle Sam posted on their movements Or am l insinuating that Uncle Sam can. not take care of himself?
 Very truly yours,

Tremendous Returns
