On tae contrary, we. found many good quail ties there which they had not spoken or We found the timber in great quantities, rubber growing wild cof- fee. chocolate and tobacco and corn. sweet and Irish potatoes, of which we dug some and brought witE us. The timber, which is mostly hard wood. mahogany walnut. white wood and cedar. with many wild rubber trees are fine specimens, and many are l59 feet high The rivers of this sec ton are large and nayigabie, mak ag easy access to market, and consider ing the fine climate. the fertility of the soil the many different hard woods. and easy access to eastern mar kets. we consider it the best proposi- tior ever offered to the hard-working American.
