N. WRIGHT,
The Iowa Jeweler
Charman Bros.1 Block
THE Industrial prospects of new
territory which recent events
have brought in close relation
with the United States such as Ha
waii, Porto Rico and the Philippines-
are attracting great attention In this
country at the present time. Energetic
and enterprising : young . American
clerks, as well as those poorly employ
ed or not employed at all, are scanning
the outlook with considerable practical
anticipation. The field Is worth study
ing-
Porto RIc leads foremost on the list
as opening the greatest Inducements,
because the Inhabitant of that beauti
ful Island desire to become American
ized as soon as possible. The extinction
of Spanish rule means the rapid en
couragement of American Institutions
and the general use of the English lan
guage. Outside of the few hundred
French and Spaniards who control the
plantations of the Island, every one of
the million Inhabitants Is eager to learn
the English language, and when he
catches a word or phrase he memorizes
It end repeats it promptly to a circle of
admiring friends.
The result is that the principal stores,
hotels and business houses now have a
sign reading, "English spoken here,"
and Interpreters are employed at a
high salary. In fact, business men have
been willing to pay almost any price
for an American clerk or salesman. The
demand Is so abnormal, however, that
a reaction Is certain to come. The
prospective clerk, therefore, ' should
study and analyse the situation before
he makes a move. - .
It Is estimated that $150 would be
ample for a young man of modest
tastes to give his talents a fair show in
Porto Rico, leaving enough money for
the return trip, In case he found Ponce
or Mayaguez not to tils liking. The
rates to San Juan and those towns are
$05 first class, $35 second class. The
consuls are obliging; board relatively
cheap; a room costs $10 a month and
board about 40 cents per day. Amerl
can money doubles the minute the vis
itor arrives In Torto Rico; that Is, the
rate of exchange gives $2 Porto Uican
money for every American dollar. WHh
a basic knowledge of Latin, an observ
ant American can soon pick up Span
ish. The natural wealth Is there, and
the Americans seem the chosen ones to
reallie on It. The "get-rlch-qulck" idea
will vanish after a few weeks behind
a counter in Porto Rico, however. It
Is work, patience and economy that
will win the palm there as everywhere
else.
As to the Philippines, It has been
stated that Manila Is hotter than the
Klondike. Getting there Is more com
fortable, and health Is offered to the
man without health in addition. If a
young man starts out with an appoint
ment from a House renciy to ao dusi-
ncss In the far East, or even with a
simple proper Indorsement, he can do
well. New xork traders, especially
those doing business in hemp, tobacco
and sugar, are looking for a tremen
dous development of trade with the
Philippines, and say that the opportu
nltv of a lifetime Is now presenting It
self to young men of integrity and
push. There will now be many oppor
tunities in Industries that Spain has al
ways frowned upon.
The main thing for the prospective
tourist to consider Is the Initial ex
pense. It costs about ?400 to reach
Manila. The best route la from San
Francisco to Hong Kong via Yoko
hama. The average hotel tariff at
Manila Is $2 a day.
Hawaii can be reached In twelve
days from New York, the trip from San
Francisco costing 75 on steamers,
half as much on sailing vessels. Clerks
at Honolulu earn as high as $125 per
month, bookkeepers $150, mechanics up
to $4 per day. Engineers list at $100,
conductors $90, laborers $1 per day.
Agriculturist are, however, most In de
mand. Tie market for ordinary labor
Is overstocked, but men with experi
ence in managing plantations earn as
high as $3,000 a year,, while overseers
get up to $T5 per month. The small
farmer Is offered superior Inducements.
Coffee Is now the most promising crop,
and from a seventy-five acre plantation
after the fourth year a return of
$10,000 may be counted on. It Is use
less, however, to enter Into this coffee
planting without enough funds to carry
the planter till the land yields- develop
ment
Applicants for land' must be citizens
by birth or naturalization,, and pay a
fee of $2 on application, and $5 on the
Isuance of ft lease. They can take trp
from eight to sixty acres of land, must
build a dwelling house, and' receive a
lease for 090 years, or on appraised val
ue can purchase the freehold; , "
The soil Is loose and porous, the cli
mate ideal. All kinds of vegetation can
be raised, besides berries, which grow
the whole year around. Rice, limes,
oranges and pineapples grew freely.
The banana trade Is a paying feature.
In fact, the enterprising, painstaking
agriculturist can hardly miss It In

WELL-BRED INDIAN MAIDENS.
Two Cherokee Girl Who Would Be at

The average man's impression of an
Indian woman Is that she Is unkempt,
of coarse appearance, entirely locking
in all that partakes of refinement and
generally tending toward still deeper
degradation. It Is unfortunately too
true- that the picture wDl fit too many
females of the red-skinned race, but
not all by any means. Notable as ex
ceptions are the Cherokee women, two
fair specimens of whom are pictured,
They are Jennie Thomas and Ellen
