TO REBUILD HACIENDA
Mexican Government Buys Five Car
loads of Lumber ut Del Rio.

Del Rio. Tex. March S.-Roberto
Juarez Cane0a, manager OF the San
Carlos hacienda about % miles south
Of here in Mexico, purchased five ear
loads of lumber here this week from
the Del Rio Lumber company, which
will be used in buildings and repairs
at the San Carlos properties. The
purchase amounted TO $4,000 feet OF
lumber and was transported to San
Carlos in wagons. The caravan con-
sisted of twelve wagons. Several
trips were required to make the trans
Ter.
The San Carlos hacienda is gov
eminent property and consists OF a
very large tract Of land. Formerly 1t
was in a high state of cultivation,
with network of irrigation bitches
supplied by the Rio San Diego, and
is said at that time to have been
one of the most productive districts
in Mexico. Owing to the revolution,
the system fell into almost complete
decay, and the property was abandon
ed. Irrigation bitches were filled up
or became useless, gates and spillways
rotted completely, buildings were de
stroyed or fell into decay, and the
land was covered with growth of
shrubs and brush as thick almost as
before it was ever cleared.
The Mexican government has under
taken the rehabilitation Of this prop
erty. That it is in earnest in its
purposes has been fully demonstrated
by the construction of a branch OF
the Mexican National Railway from
Allende to San Carlos. 1t is the ultl-
mate purpose of the government to
extend this line on 10 Villa Acuna,
Just across the Rio Grande from Del
Rio, he entire distance of which has
been graded
Recently Mexican Consul Lisandro
Pena of Del Rio constructed a map
for the department. OF foreign affairs
at Mexico City, :..i furnishing data
showing the great advantage to the
federal government that would be
gained BY exte..-.hg this line to the
border. He points out that all traffic
from Mexico City westward would
come by way of Allende and Del Rio,
as likewise would all traffic from the
west toward Mexico City, thus short
ching the journey materially. Con-
struction Of such a line would add
greatly toward the development Of Del
Rio.
