A RICH POOR Ne,eHsoR.

Business is ready to bulge across
the Mexican border in large volume
and great variety as soon as conditions
are tranquil enough to encourage the
activities Of peaceful trade. Even now
long trains loaded with commodities
most needed by a distressed popula-
ton of millions are passing from this
gateways, and American commercial
travellers are flocking in to assist in
the orderly resumption of commercial
intercourse. AS the world knows. and
has always known since the discovery
OF the New World. Mexico is land
OF unsurpassed natural wealth. But for
reasons connected with it's government
or rather misgovernment, its popula-
ton of over 100000 has seen more
downs than ups in spite of their won
derful undeveloped resources. In the
last few years the sufferings OF Mexi-
can people have been intensified, and
1t is certain that the extent and severe
ity OF their hardships are not fully

disease have lately been added to
their other troubles. The prospect OF
a more settled government and trade
is most welcome. 1t comes in a time
of extremity, and population that
has been facing 1t ought to be thank
full for the relief. Each individual
ought to be glad to escape the chaos
of Generalization and do Ell In his
power to secure the stability OF new
era.
The Mexican people should be able
to see that the United States respects
their territorial and other rights as
nation. We are in no plot to despoil
them OF land or oerreach them In
trade.
II Mexico will maintain sound, res
ponsible government its prosperity
would be far beyond the average.

new era will be here.-St. Louis

There is no reason why the govern
ment should not develop whatever
there may be OF water power on its
reclamation projects. and there is
every good reason 1t should. The
building of a reclamation project is.
in the first place, grand thing. The
development of electric power on that
project for general use, would be one
of the best secondary improvements
possible, for cheap electric power and
lights would aid every settler and ad
vance the value of every acre of land
The thing has been tried on one or
more of the projects and has proven
wonderfully successful and satisfac-
tory. Independent believes that some
thing of this kind could be procured
for the Uncompahgre project IL the
settlers on that project would bring il
to the attention OF the board and the
board to the government. 1t is some
thing that should be done. and its ac-
complishment must be brought about
by action and request. Those most
Interested and who would receive the
largest benefits. are the settlers them
'pelves, and they are the ones who
should get busy.

ed and destroyed by hostile fleet"
