salt water hefor? the hijih winds

frightful. The Louisiana Cypress

A Tamaulipas Extension.
Monterey Mex. July G. The
Mexican Central railroad is pre-
paring to build a hranch road from
the Gulf division from IOscaudon
to Ocampo a farming settlement
in the State of Tamaulipas forty
miles long.
L. VV. Legerts manager of the
Rio Valley Company whioh owns
a big tract of Tamaulipas land in
the vicinity of Ocampo was in
Monterey today and said that defi-
nite information to the effect that
the braucb would be built had been
received by his com pan'.
"This road will open up some of
the finest country in the State of
Tamaulipas and will be a paying
venture trom the start" said Mr.
Legerts. " Whrn.this road is built"
continued Mr. Legerts "several
large sugar mills will be started in
that section. The rains have been
good for several years and farm-
ers are not afraid to risk sugar as
a chief crop."
The farmer who sinks a good
well and with adequate power irri-
gates ten to twenty acres ot land
planted with the right crops and
judiciously worked will make at
a whole lot more money one year
with auother than his neighor who
depends upon ordinary field crops
and takes his chances on the
seasons. Cuero Star.

SABBATH IN THE SUBURBS.
England's Troublesome Quests.
The postponement of the coro-
nation has caused the English peo-
ple a great deal of trouble with
their guests. The Hindoos observe
strictly their law of caste and this
law interdicts them from eating
with other people o- tr. i s':iltili-
meni I hat have ber-n fii. d by
other people and fjirihei'inlridjirl
them from cooking in vessels in
rwh it'll cooking for father people has
been done. In fact "the law ofeate
which they observed made the
English spei.d thousands of dn!lar
to provide them with the means ot
liviug and to this was added the
trouble growing out of complaints
of other guests of the King. The
Koreans were especially dissatis-
fied because they did not get en
ough nog meat auu some ot the
people from the Far East groaned
because the supply of snakes was
short. The English people are ver
sorry llm' their troubles with
guests and subjects from remote
