A Summer Land.
Kdltor West Hidk. Guatemala Is an
ever-green country. Crops never fail.
The principal crop for export is coffee.
If one person came to establish a coffee
finca, nothing less than $5,000 would
do. I advise any one without means
not to attempt going into the coffee
business. If a number go together
and work together for the first few
years, f 1,000 will do, provided they are
workers. Coffee must be carefully
cultivated and attended while coming
Into bearing. Let even ten families
get established there, other would
surely follow. It I a grand country
and no mistake. It Is the only way
and only country for a person of
moderate mean to go to make a
fortune.
In regard to Nicaragua, tbe govern
ment has repealed the concessions. I
have Investigated those matter and
Costa Rica and Salvador are small and
pretty well filled up aud the govern
ments have nothing to offer. They
are good countries but not holding
out tbe Inducement they formerly
did. Guatemala offers the beat op
portunities of all the five Central Aruer
cau state today, -
If Honduras had a good government
it would be a good country to go to.
Vasquer was a friend to American but
he is out'and Bonella 1 not friendly
disposed; tlien too, it is not so good ft
coffee country. It run mostly to min
ing and banana business. I know all
about that line and they do make con
siderable money, but a white man
could not raise bananas, it Is too hot
and low, besides the fruit is not aa
staple a coffee, The coffee lands we
would select are located just south of
British Honduras, known as Belize
and betweeu the river Barstoon, Lake
Izabel and the river Falechlo, near
Livingston, In altitudes from 1,000 to
4,000 feet above the level of the sea.
You go there In a vessel from New
Orleans. No Guatamala 1b not like
J Oregon, (I have lived In Portland) but
a land of sunshine. When It rains, It
rains like clock-work commences
usually about 3 P. M. and ceases about
5 P. m.i at Intervals of 15 minutes and
in five minutes It all clears off, and
you can go about ttie country any
where. While there is plenty of rain
yet for certalu product Irrigation can
be employed to advautage and profit,
and there are plenty of streams ot fine
mountain water.
The estimate of $1,000 would carry a
colonist through the four years until
crops came, if he applied himself in the
right manner and was economical.
If alone It would cost any one $5000 to
own a coffee plantation of the same
size. - W.C.
