The Sautena hacienda, an enormous
property owned by lingo Noriega, Bar

situated In the northern part of the
republic, will be acquired.
Gustavo Madero and Cen Manuel
Garcia Cuellar are at the head OF the
syndicate which will make the pur-
chase and begin the irrigation Of the
land at orce. The purchase price and
the cost of irrigation will be, 1t is as
serted. not less than $17,000,000.
Gen. Diaz had similar plan In view
and had arranged for the government
to pay to the owners the sum Of S..
100000 for the purpose Of irrigating
the property, with the understanding
that it was 70 be sold to the govern
ment to be parcelled out among small
farmers on easy payment terms The
s5,000000 was deposited in the Cen

of the plan, and the money is still
there for such purpose.
As soon as the irrigation develop

will pass into the hands of the govern

living in Texas will be invited to come
