Mr. Toastmaster, Ladles andGeotle-
*men:
The orient traverses the Trane-Pe-
cos region in a northeau sad south-
west line sod passes over unsettled
lands for 200 miles, which oouutry is
awaiting the energy and thrift of the
northern farmer to make it blossom
like California. The rainfall is not
sufficient to grow many crops, but irri-
gation will eventuall? make this sec-,
tlon the Cashmere of tbe western hem-
isphere.
These laode are fertile and product
lve though inouutatuous. aud tbe val-
leys need only the touch of moisture to
transform a wilderness iuto a region
teeoiiug with lire and replete with the
products ot agriculture. Tbe lands
are now used as grazlug grounds for
cattle, sheep aud horses, and to a great
jests at will always be so used, but in
the coming years, at tbe advent of “tbe
mao wich the bus,” tbe earth must
yield up Its richest treasures.
Une.Uuodred thousand cattle will be
shipped to market over the Orient the
first season it ta operated from this
section alone, saving at least two dol-
lars per head to the shippers aud ag-
. gregatlug a saving of IkO.OOO annual
ly to tbe people of this section on
shrinkage and time, and giving the
Orient annually fiwinnn—freight on
cattle alone.
^ Reacbiug Brewster countv near Al-
pine, within a few miles of its tracks,
there has been located aud within
ninety daya will be operated the great
set sanitarium owuarlh.
The climatic conditions are each
that they drive away every bad feeling
and hwakea In tba health seal
glad feeling of perpetual youth. The
air and sunshine seeea to ho laden with
ozone-radium, “which radiates dleeeee
germ* away.”

All tbe fruits of tbe temperate zone
have been tested and the experiment
has domonstrstsd that they can be
grown of a size and flavor not surpass-
ed elsewhere, in thn near fu-
ture the songs of the vintage
will awake the sleeping echoes of our
valleys where the scream of the eagle
and tbe howl of the wolf are now the
music furnished by nature’s orchestra.

election law, was drawn, and no one
attempted to croaa it for elec'loneerlng
purposes. There were no carnages
and the usual amount of yelling and
burrabing was not lu evtdenoe. A
man ora quiet disposition oould go
and cut his veto without interference,
and this fact made the election more
agreeable to all. The voting wu quiet
all day, but a good vote wu polled.”
War reddens the Eut with another
ligbt than sunrise and tbe world looke
on with profound Interest, watching
every move and calculating its effect
upon international affairs, while pro-
gresslve, pluck? little Japan attempts
to stay the Ruuian advance upon
southern Asia. Wbat tbe outcome
will be and whether other nations will
become actively involved the future
alone will determine. It looks now
tike czar’s suggestion for Tbe Hague
peace conference wu merely a cloak j
tlon for such an Institution. It Is the
county seat of Brewster county, four
hundred miles west of San Antonio,
and within twelve miles of the highest
point on the Southern Paclfllc railroad.
The country Is mountainous and mure
beautiful than any other part of tbe
state, and thn people are intelligent,
moral and progreuive with nourishing
ohurohes and schools. Tbe Alpine
sanitarium, when completed, will lie a
God send to suffering humanity.—

he would have beta for more sccepta
