$175 AN ACRE PROFIT
FROM MEXICAN TREES
Thirty-five Plantations in CHA.
pas and TabaSco

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-Consul A.
]. Lespinasse Of Frontera supplies the
following statistics covering the prob
able profits of rubber plantations in
that part of Mexico:
The approximate number of rubber
plantations in Tabasco and northern
Chiapas is about thirty-five. represent
ing a total acreage of $4,000 to 100000
acres. A rough estimate of the num-
Der of rubber tres cultivated thereon
is 100000 to 100000. Reliable data
do not exist in regard to the foregoing
matter, which was partly obtained
from semi-official sources and man
ayers Of number of the rubber plan
tations who have acquired a fairly
accurate knowledge of the rubber in
dustry of both states in general way
The municipalities Of Tacotalpa, Hui
| manguillo, Toapa and Pichucalco, in
Tabasco, and the department of Palen-
que, in Chiapas, are considered the
most suitable for rubber growing.
Opinions differ widely in regard to
age at which latex may be drawn from
the tree Those who have carefully in
vestigated this feature of the indus
try are of the opinion that the Cas-
tilloa should not be tapped under ten
years and that twelve years would be
preferable; others claim that the trees
can be tapped at six to eight years, but
the latter statement should be ac-
cepted with caution, as numerous rub
Der plantations are operated on the
installment plan, and it is to their in
terest to have it appear in their cir
culars that rubber trees can be tapped
in the shortest period possible.
Careful inquiry among planters and
experienced plantation managers makes
it possible to state that very rough
estimate of the actual labor cost Of
cultivating 100 acres of rubber to the
yielding period would be $175 to $3.50
gold a year. This would necessarily be
controlled by a number OF cOntingen-
cies, such as price of labor, unusually
dry or rainy season, number Of weed
ings reuuired,s etc. COnceding 200 trees
to the acre, this would give a total of
20, 900 trees for the 100 acres, and allow
ing twelve ounces of rubbebr per an
mum for each tree, which will be a con-
serVative estimate for ten n-year-Old
trees, the product Of the 100 acres
would be $4,000 pounds, which at the
present market price, $1.15 gold a
pound, would be $1725O gold, or $17250
gold an acre.
The foregoing is furnished as a
rough estimate; no hard and fast rule
can be given, as the nature of the
soil, locality, proper cultivation, and a
Of other circumstances may
produce totally different results and
diminish or increase the
output of any given number of acres,
as practical tests have demonstrated
that the production Of trees is not uni
form, varying capriciously among
trees in the same tract as well as those
cultivated in adjoining or distant dis
tricts.

THIEF EMPTIES Walls
FULL OF DEADLY GERMS
Board of Health of Topeka Be-
IieVeS They Are Harmless

TOPEKA, Kas., Aug. 1.-Thirteen
walls containing tuberculosis and diph-
theria germs addressed to DR.. Sarah A.
Greenfield, bacteriologist of the state
board of health, disappeared from the
mails last Friday, and a search for
them resulted in finding the walls,
open and empty, in an alley in the
west part of the city today.
The package containing the Walls was
taken out by the postman, but was lost
or stolen before he delivered it. The
state board declines to tell exactly
where the Walls We're found, fearing to
rouse the neighborhood. There were
enough germs in the Walls to depopu-
late the state, but the board of health
thinks there will be no serious re-
suits as the broken walls were found
where the direct rays of the sun shone
on them.

FIRES AT KALISPELL

KALISPEL, Mont, Aug. 1.-The fire
situation today is probably the worst
it ever has been in the history of Flat
Head valley While there are no fires
within five or six miles of Kalispell, the
air is full of ashes.
No special reports from any Of the
numerous fires are available, but those
that have reached here from time to
time are to the effect that 1000 men
could not do anything to even help the
situation, and only rain could put an
end to it.

BIG PROFIT IN BUSINESS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The Bra
lillian plans to retain supremacy in the
worlds rubber industry are explained
by Consul General George Z. Ander-
son of Rio Janeiro:
While there are great forest tracts
in Brazil with an abundance of rubber
trees which have not as yet been
touched in the extraction of rubber or
otherwise, the states Of Brazil, which
have heretofore furnished most of the
Brazilian supply of that material, but
whose supply is now decreasing as
compared with the supply from new
territory like the Acre territory in
Brazil and the upper Amazon districts
IN Peru and Bolivia, are commencing
to stimulate the production Of rubber.
Especially have they been alarmed by
the immense growth of the cultivated
rubber business in the far east, and to
avoid any possible turn of affairs by
which that portion of the world shall
supplant them in their position in the
rubber trade they have inaugurated
policy of stimulating the cultivation OF
rubber within their limits. A meeting
of the presidents Of the states Of Para
and AmazOEas and other state officers
and others interested in the subject
was held recently in Manaos and a
general policy was adopted AS a part
of that policy both state governments
subsidies or favors for the cultivation
of rubber in their respective territories
by contracts to be signed with COM
panies formed In Brazil or abroad for
the cultivation OF the Heyea BraZilien-
sis. To such companies the govern
ments propose to grant the following
faVors:
THE CONCESSIONS
Concessions of free land I'D 10 10000
hectares (49,421 acros), properly limit
ed for the cultivation undertaken by
the company.
Reduction of the export tax on rub
Der from cultivated trees of 50 Per cent
for the first ten years, counting from
the first expectation OF cultivated rub
Der, and of 30 per cent reduction after
that up to the limit Of twenty years.
Reduction of 80 per cent in the
freight charges on the Braganca rail-
way Estate owned) and on steamer
lines subsidized by the states for n
period of twenty wears on rubber pro-
duced by cultivation by the company.
Free transportation by the Braganca
railway and by steamship lines sub
sidized by the states for all machinery

Education

LONDON, Aug. 1. - Sir Robert
Bredon, acting inspector general OF
Chinese customs, now in England on
holiday, in an interview speaks of
the many psychological, social and in
dustrial changes taking place within
the celestial empire. "China," he says
'is indeed changing, but as to the
future, who knows? 1, for one, have no
prophecies to offer, but this much is
obvious to any recent student of Chi
nese affairs, that the world at large
cannot continue to treat as a negli-
gible quantity, either politically or in
dustrially, a homogeneous race of 400,-
00O,0 human beings, a large percent
age of whom are now fully alive to
the pOtentialities of their race and
country.
"Since I went out in 1897 practically
a new Peking has arisen. Equally re-
markable have been some of the
changes in the outlook and habits of
the people since the Boxer rising and
the Russo-Japanese war. A consider
able portion of the capital is now in
process of rebuilding after the style
of up-to-date European models, and

again, the sedan chair is being
superseded among the wealthy Chinese
by the use of broughams drawn by
splendid horses of Australian breed,
and several thousands of rickshaws
have largely taken the place of mule
and donkey traffic. This, of course,
has necessitated the reorganization of
the police force.
PRESS AIDS IN WORK
"The native press, too, is more ac-
tive, and larger public is reached
the medium of several places
which may be described as a sort of
public reading room, where the native
Journals are on view. In many other
ways the Chinese are showing them
selves what may be termed permeable
to western ideas. There is a new de-
mand for schools with more eXten-
sive and liberal curriculum. Much IL
