OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE SAN LUIS
EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL:

EDITOR OF The JOURNAL:
This valley has been settled
principally by farmers. But few
care for anything except agricul-
tural pursuits.
There is danger that some splen-
did opportunities will be over
Looked. Chief among them is
manufacturing. Nothing would
create home market for farm pro-
ducts quicker than some factories
in our midst.
The proposed beet sugar factory
is a step in the right direction.
But why stop at that!
Monte Vista should have a wood
pulp factory. We pay Canada
millions annually for pulp. The
white spruce of Colorado is equal
to any wood in the world for pulp.
A train load of spruce logs could
be brought from the mountains
daily, to a factory at Monte Vista.
The bark and waste would keep
the town supplied with fuel.
1t is probable that print paper
could be made here-if a pulp fac
tory is installed first. There is a
clay near Salida. that | believe
would do for filler. Probably a
clay could be found nearer home.
The straw of oats, wheat and
barley grown in the San Luis val
ley is SO clean, and free from rust
it woull make the finest straw
board in the world. Monte Vista
should have a straw board factory
Monte Vista should have a starch
factory to use all of the culls of the
potato crop-and all Of the seconds
too. None but first class potatoes
should be shipped away. Now
these are but a few Of the things
Monte Vista should have.
/ am ready to go farther il
pointing out some of these things
should the people feel an in.
terest in the matter.
l am a stranger, and have nc
interests in this valley, but l like
to see u people seize every oppor.
tunity that bountiful Nature offers

The Virtue of Travelinu..

There are two great fallacies- based
on ancient and rusty saws it were a
noble. deed to demolish. One is that
travelling is form Of Wrongdo1ng,
founded belize on the stupid saying
that a rolling stone gathers no moss.
A pertinent reply would be that a
messy stone is never highly polished
and that stone is not a proper place
for moss, anyway. The other undermine
ing caution is that one ought to see
ones own new country before one sees
the wealth of the old countries. I'm
less on business bent, there is no
earthly reason why one who can af-
ford to, travel should not begin at
once. with the richest and most beau
tiful countries, with Italy and Greece
Life is short and uncertain; one can
not tell what may happen to- deprive
one of sight and health and means day
after tomorrow, therefore it is we'll to
see and enjoy the best while one can.

gard, lis the real tramp: I haven't
seen one since I reached this country.

has been stated to be the case"
Harris Hammond, the eldest son of
John Hays, promised: !.
'I'll show you one at the next STOP
He had seen one riding on the trucks
under the car, and at the next station
he went down and called the hobo out.
When the tramp entered the car he
was covered with cinders and dust
and looked like something from the
lower regions. j.
Hammond shook hands with him
and introduced him, saying: IT,
j 'This is Mr. Rider Haggard" ...5
"Rider Haggard!' exclaimed the
hobo. why, I've read all Of your
books and loved every one of themv'
Then he sat down and discussed lit
erature with Haggard for half an
hour. At the end Of the talk Harris
took him back, let him get some Of the
dust and cinders off and handed him a
good cigar. - t1e]<.&%'.> q z
