Editor WmHiois: 1 am not ur prlsed that your render show great ln ten st In getting Information about Central America. The (lay will short ly come when Guatemala and all Lea I rut America and Hie United Stale will tat much niort closely united. The proposed Pan American railway bus umdti three survey for a railroad from North to South America and It will 1st only a few year until It will be built, Guatemala Is very liberal in granting Hid- to such enterprise. I want to give your reader conservative sUttiiieut on all matter connected wlih the country, but the country k attracting considerable, attention. A person can live there about as cheap a ut I liw United SI a tea, and you ean pur- chuse nil the provisions you do uot raise in Guatemala. A ft colony you will be permitted to take along your farming uteimclg and tiouvehold good free of tluty. I m aatlslled H.OOO would kisp each. s rson in colony comfortably for 4 year, until tb first crop came lu beating, and should be able to make money besides, Wltb economy and energy lit cultivating collee, I estimate that each colonist, In ten years, with au Investment of 1,000 and 10 year labor would lie worth uot Imm than p),iHM) and from that to 10t),- uot), 1 la would be ecrtaiu of that If he put lu fi.tMMI In colli. I would Dot ad- vine any one without menu to go to Guatemala, although I know of a Ger- utati who went to Guatemala less than IU years ago without ceul and for one year found iioihlug to do but mid Job, at about 60 cents ail - r er day, and lie scarcely exUted until he learned the Spanish luiigiisge. At the end of that tune he wutil to work uit a ovlfee plan tation, at the prim paid the natives, about 5 reals per day, but (bey soon promoted him as lie was worth four (Inn s as nmeb as a native.

A colony mausged on proper principles will Ihi a suctvsa. The plait I suggest is the laud lu com mon for four year and then a division on etjtml terms. In the United States the government donutoa 100 acre of land to any person who will live on it live years, as a homestead. In Guate mala you eau buy any quantity of land, provided you come to make it your home, or residence. A colony gets very many favor ahnwu It At the banana Colony established three years ago, greut progress has been made. l liat American enterprise promises to fully realise the hopes of Its founders. The govern men t Is affording special protection uud encouragement to the company. All supplies, imported for lis use are passed free of duty, A port of entry bus been opened especially for be colouy, The company bus a large and commodious hotel for the accom modation of stranger. It has also o dices, shops and a spacious storehouse supplied with a full assortment of Aniericuu merchandise for the local rade, which Is already large and in creasing. The colony hits planted 0U8 acres In cocimuuts and buuunus, there being H2 colonists or an average of about 110 acres each. I believe an American colony would makes the quality of codec, 20 per cent, bolter, by using cleaner method of harvesting. The Inventive American also uses inuclilnery where, the native iocs It by hand. Take the coffee busi ness its an example. After the coffee berry Is picked it undergoes a compli cated process lu gel tins It ready for umrkcl,at one tune being spread out on the ground to dry. Why oould not much of that be dried by machinery, and thus save tlmo and money, Na tive labor Is cheap both In price and service. A unod Intelligent workluir American is worth five of them; For certain work they uro. however, India- punsuble. I can Imagine a colony of say 40 Americans going Into Guate mala. They would first want tele graph or telephone line to the nearest town; then postal fuel lilies and they would start to work, The laud would be plutted in 40 parts. In the center would be hiid out in blocks and streets for a town, oiid then an Imposing ho tel and general headquarters building would be built. The forty men would slush 60 acres of land a day, as It is fast work, mid the planting of 000,000 coffee trees, would bo done nystotnatloully and lu good order. Buy each tract had 80 acres lu coffee. 6 lu cacao bud one in loouoantits, the first crop would astonish you. The rale of Interest on money iu Guatemala I about 7 percent., so tbut if you should run short of moliey a few thousand dollar oould easily be lor rowed, The only cbanoe I see for a colony to fall is that they would allow tb Indolence of the country to over come them or else - would boom the project loo much and then get dls oouraged. American get the most en thus!llc and also lh most dlspoud- ut of any people. At the end of fnur year each oolonlst would get. lit tract and 30 ers In oofee, 0 acres lu cacao and 1 aci In oocoauut tree, ' nud the next year but crop would be clear gain. If lh Income were 11,000 clear, that would be Interest ou $410,000, A good manager of a fine will Increase the rnlng and ft poor manager will make them below the above figure. While coffee and cacao ar tb staple money making product of the country, the land will grow almost anything. Mu gar cane, tobacco, ooru, rice and wheat do well without much labor expended upon them.

Mr, Collins spent several weeks in Califor nia and visited many points of interest. Here Is what he says: On the morning of the 81st of Janu ary, we left a fine day and the town of Buver with it poultry coops, ash bar rels, etc.; departing from Albany ou the 10:45 train going up tho Willam ette valley; through the mountains and passing through a many kinds of cli mate as a trip to the north pole, and arrived in Ban Francisco, being thirty six hours out from Albany, The weather hanging arouud the Golden Gate to be admitted on a dead-head ticket wus cold, foggy and rainy, and wo consequently left out of all' real estate ads for California. In Ban Fran cisco we stayed at the New Western hotel on the corner of Kearny and Cal ifornia streets, We did not. sight-see any the first day, but went to the Mid winter fair ground the next day. The fair was grand, but the Mechanic's Art building was the cuckoo for excellence. The city homes hi Bun Francisco of the Crocker, Hopkins, Floods and Stan ford were the finest architecture we fever saw. Staying throe dy In San Francisco, we started for Los Angeles; spent three week visiting Los Angeles, Al Ham bra end Santa Anna. At Los Angeles we saw Mrs. Inland Stanford's private car standing on a siding. Coming back we passed through a couutry ( where crops were in all states of luxu- rlanee until we reached th Golden Gat, where wo left foggy day Which had blwmed In our absence Into weather unequalcd In this world. In coming back through the mountains we saw (hat snow plow had been at work; -but ultimately we got back to the land of tho gum boot where we found the mercury lying behind th ktove to keep warm, and snow storm stealing down on us from the summit of Cofflu AutUi. Th trip I "worth the candle," and the expense 1. moderate, more so In Oillforiila than 4n Oregon, (Deflnl lion of the word Oregon I Wild Thyme), nnd who blames cltlisen for llvltiir un to the stale' motto, and that' what we did, $500 Reward for any trace of antipyretic, morphine, chloral or any other Injurious com pound lu Krause's headache capsule. 25 cts,, at Alexander-Cooper . Drug Co. George A. Well Nr. In country where nature smile our mind naturally revert to the men who first had th courage to face untold danger in order to give themselves and families bettor advantage In the grace of nature. Geo. A. Well Hr. wa among th courageous people who sought pleas ant homes and fortune In the wild of Oregon in '68. He was born In Pike county, Misoourl, January 14, 1080. HI father wa a farmer of moderate mean near Clarksyille. When grown to manhood George left Missouri in '48 and went to Illinois where he married Miss Henrietta Tur ner. He then prepared to seek hi for tune and "bo happy ever afterward," leaving PllUlield, Illinois, for the land of the setting suu in '63, lie waa In company with the Hubbard, Kenne dies, Veneble and Applcgate. The trip wa uneventful compared with most Indian tales, but still the hard- sbljis are not to be judged by people who never tried the journey with ox teams under unfavorable circum stances.
