Soil Very Fertile.

'"The soil is wonderfully fertile, and
cotton, bananas and other tropical
products thrive. Each native village
has its banana groves. Along the riv-
ers are rich alluvial bottoms, capable
of producing cotton, bananas, rubber
plants, sugar cane, ptneapples and cit
rus fruits. Corn natures in forty days.
But the company is only In the
lumber business. Colonization plans
have not been carefully discussed, and
agriculture is a matter Of secondary i'm

Moyle, president of the company, yes
terday. I'VE are In no hurry to begin
marketing the timber, because there
will be even a greater demand for it
later.
Professor Walter CluR has just COM
pleted an examination OF the property,
and is enthusiastic over the outlook.
Mr.. Kicks has made several trips there
in the last two years, and the more he
sees of it, the greater he believes its
possibilities to be.
There are about 5000 natives living
on the estate. They are a lazy lot, but
may make good workmen under force
full foremen. Labor will probably have
to be taken there from the United
States when we begin marketing the
woods
ut is the purpose Of the company to
send committee comprising one agri-
cultural expert, one timber expert and
others to the estate to go over it and
suggest the best policy to pursue in its
development.

AN ANCIENT SPANISH GRANT

pany. organized by number Of Utah
men, has purchased 100000 acres Of
land in South America, covered by a
dense growth OF timber On this i'm

enough timber to supply the market for
some time to come.
The officers Of the company Rres

1t was while on a trip to South Amer

matter of business for the Mormon
church, and while In Colombia, that
Mr.. Kicks saw the possibilities that lay
in the marketing of the hardwood that
grows in the dense forests there. One
immense area of land, situated be-
tween the Rio Magdalena and Rio Ca
cua, near the north coast of Colombia,
appealed particularly to Mr.. Kicks.
This great tract, comprising 1,200O00
acres. is one of the most ancient gov
ernmental grants TO an old Spanish
family, and this is the tract which was
later acquired by fourteen Utah men.
The company is planning the purchase
from the Colombian government Of an
additional 100000 acres. which viii give
it an absolute ownership Of 1000, 900
acres.
The transportation problem is solved
in the Magdalena river, which is said 10
be navigable to ocean-going vessels.
Tributaries of this stream make the IN
tire tract accessible to boats.

The Antonito Land Drawing.

A number of parties who OBJ
tanned land under the Toltec pro-
ject at Antonito week ..ago, after
going over the land pronounce it
all right and better than represent
ed.
The drawing took place as adver-
tised in Col. Simpsons new build
ing at Antonito. The state land
board was represented by A. l..
Rich, P. j. Donovan and J. A.
Torres. Zeph Chas. Felt and w.
F. Cross represented the Toltec
company; G. G. Higgins of New
York, J. B. Moore and Henry
Clark of Denver represented the
land interests and Col. G. NJ. Samp-
son the people who registered for
the drawing.
The first number dawn from the
box was lSS held by J. Dorm of
Georgia, Iowa. A few residents
of the valley drew lands but the
greater number reside in the Mis-
sissippi states. Mr.. Felt states
that about 1900 acres remain
which may be privately selected at
any time. The contractors agree
to enlarge Cove lake and have
water ready for delivery May l..
If for any reason water is not
ready next year then payment is
postponed under the terms of the
Carey act. 1t is said that practi-
cally all of the land is in the hands
of home builders who will improve
the same and be a great help to
the country.

The record five minute talk was
recently made by DR. Cook, the
Artic explorer. He talked into a
phonograph and received 5000
or $1,000 per minute for the speel.
That phonograph man should come
to the valley. He could save much
money. Judge McCunnitf stands
willing to talk twice as long for
half the sum.
Cattle sales have been numerous
for the past two weeks. The sal
able stuff is all in fine condition
owing to the good range during
the past summer and fall. Condi-
tions are altogether different from
what they were few years ago.
The growers are not running after
the buyers. the buyers are on the
ground willing to trade on close
margin. AT the prices they are
offering it hardly pays for an
owner to take risks and do his own
shipping.
Herbert Brink, the wealthy
Wyoming cattleman, was yester-
day convicted of murder in the
first degree. An account of the
trial will be found on another page
of this paper. The verdict will
cause CONSERVATION in the ranks of
cattlemen and their sympathizers,
for under the Wyoming laws, it
means a death sentence. Doubt
less every legal art will be used to
save Brink from going to the
gallows. AS a last resort the gov
ernor may extend executive aid
but it is probable that his natural
sympathies are with the sheep
men.

TWO BIG SEATTLE
BANKS TO COMBINE
New Institution Will Be Largest
in the Northwest, With
S1,OOO,OOO Capital

SEATTLE, Wash. Dec. 25.-The Seat
tie national bank and the Puget Sound
national bank, two of the largest bank
ing houses in the northwest, are to
consoIidate An official announcement
to this effect was made today.
The consolidated bank will have a
capital of $1,000 900 and surplus of
100000 each bank contributing
$500, 600 to the capital and surplus of
the new institution. The name of the
consolidated institution will be the
Seattle national bank, and the quarters
will nearly double the present banking
facilities of the Seattle national.
Jacob Furth, at present president of
the Puget Sound national bank, will
be chairman of the board of directors
and E. w. Andrews, at present presi-
dent of the Seattle national bank, will
be president of the new bank.
This merger will form the largest
bank anywhere in the northwest. Ac-
cording to the last report to the comp
troller of the currency, November 16,
1909, the combined deposits of the two
banks at that time were s16,559,0 and
the aggregate resources upward of
SIG, 100000.

Civ Has Much TO Gain and
Can NOtLOSc BY VOting Bonds

than half the taxes levied for city pur-
poses.
Many excellent citizens doubt the
wisdom of transferring the ownership
of our street railroads to the munich
pality, and therefore declare their op-
position to the bond issue. They should
be willing to let the city try the expert
ment of operating a road in Geary
street. We can not lose by the expert
ment. The income Of the road in 1908,
Notwithstanding its difapidated condi-
tion, amounted to $226,000. With a mod
ern, up to date system and with COM
modious cars and enough of them the
line is sure to pay from the start,
The total bond issue called for
amounts to $2,02O,O00. Interest on the
bonds at 4 Il per cent per annum will
be $4,000, or $1S6,000 less than the in
come of the road in 1908. The bonds if
issued Will not increase taxation, but
on the contrary, will reduce our taxes
If municipality owned street rail-
roads are success in England, Scot
land, Germany and other European
countries, as statistics prove them to
be, there is no reason why they should
not be success in San Francisco At
all events the city can suffer no harm
by testing the efficiency of municipal
ownership by operating road in Geary
street
The evils of ownership by the city
can not exceed the evils of ownership
by the United Railroads. No govern
ment could long remain in office in any
civilized community that would tolerate
a management as disgraceful ina de-
quate and unpopular as the manage
ment of the United Railroads When
the people have voice in the selection
of those vested with the control of the
railroads the comfort, safety and con-
venience of passengers will be consid-
cred as of prime Importance. Now the
chief purpose of our street railroad cor
porations is to pay interest on bonds
of inflated value and dividends on
watered stock, regardless of the rights
of the travelling public. 1t is time for a
change"
