Prof. H, P. Attwater, Industrial
Agent of the Sunset Route, who
has just returned from the Trans-
l'eeos country, reports great ac-
tivity in connection with the de-
velopement of that section of the
slate. At El Paso, Valentine/,
Mar fa, Alpine, Marathon and
Sanderson many improvements
were noted, and new stores and
other buildings are being erected.
A large amount of school land in
that region which has recently
come on the market has attracted
settlers from many other parts,
who are preparing land for the
cultivation of certain crops by
dry farming methods. Some of
the new-comers claim that they
come from parts of the west
where crops were raised under
much less favorable conditions
than those which exist in the
Trans-Pecos country.
Considerable attention is now
bring given to irrigation in the
great valleys away from the Rio
Grande, where irrigation has hith
erto been considered impractica-
ble. The recent discovery of wa-
ter at comparatively low depths
in several localities in El Paso,
'residio and other counties, west
Texas, along the line of the G. II.
& S. A. Ry., has attracted atten-
tion to the possibility of utilizing
large tracts of land for growing
fruit, truck, alfalfa and other
crops, by a system of surface and
sub-irrigation. At one point work
has already been commenced, a
new town has been laid out and
machinery for well boring w
on the ground. This region
which will always be a fine stock
*.v, has also immense de-
posits of silver and copper ores,
oal, oil marble and granite,
which will sooner Or later be <
veloped, as well as numerous nat-
ural vegetable products of great
commercial value, such as rubber,
wax and fiber plants which are
now being utilized, and with sue-

almost constantly from an itch-

less than one box of Hunt's Cure

used it on my recommendation,
