W. P. Winans, president of the Far
mer's Saving bank of this city, and
also president of the Mexican Na
tional Sugar Refining company; N. A.
Davis, formerly cashier of the First
National bank of Milton, and now
treasurer of the sugar company; and
C. F. Nichols, formerly of College
Place, who has sold out his business
In the local suburb, and will live In
the future in Mexico, the two latter
being stockholders In the sugar com'
pany, left yesterday for the plant of
the newly acquired corporation at
Cordova, a Mexican village about 200
miles east of Mexico City and 50
miles west of Vera Cruz, on the coast
of the gulf of Mexico, says the Walla
Walla Union.
Accompanying the party are Miss
Sara Winans and Miss Wiunifred Off
ner. Perhaps the most significant
phase of the event lies In the .fact
that In the plant of the Mexican
company, the hacienda "El Potrero,'
will be Invested almost, if not abso
lutely, the first Walla Walla capital
of any great sum placed in a foreign
land.
The controlling interest In the Mex
ican National Sugar Reginlng com
pany, which was organised under the
laws of New Jersey, is owned in the
Walla Walla valley, or by people who
a short time ago lived in this valley.
The stock of the company is placed
at 31,500.000, of -which 31,000,000 Is
common, and 3500,000 preferred
stock.
The plantation In whose develop
ment it" Is interested contains, accord
ing to the prospectus, 9970 acres of
tine fertile land - on one of the
"benches" by which the surface of
Mexico. rises from the sea level to the
Rocky mountains, some of whose
highest peaks are situated in that
country.
The main line of the Mexican rail
way runs through the plantation, af
fording excellent connection with the
most populous part of Mexico and
with the coast port of Vera Cruz,
port of call for ships trading In all
parts of the world. In the words of
the prospectus:
Wlrat tin lrotiecUis Slions.
"There is at present about 2000
acres cultivated in sugar cane; 1850
acres In coffee, and 1500 acres in
com. rice, bananas and sundry crops
about 3300 acres more is 'cleared'
land and ready to plant with but lit
tle work In taking off the brush and
small vines, etc., and 1500 acres is In
virgin oak forest. '
"The plantation Is In. one of the
very choicest locations in all Mexico,
land practically level with i regular
fall of about 80 feet to the rillje, an
average elevation of 2000 feet,' fine
healthful climate, no irrigation re
quired, and with un abundance of
fuel, water, transportation, labor, pro
ductiveness and everything at hand
and now producing profits, even with
the primitive methods heretofore
used; and with better cultivation, bet
ter implements and machinery, and
more economical handling of the pro
ducts the net revenues can be doubled
and quadrupled."
The plantation is an old one, where
the comparatively thriftless methods
of the Mexican have long been In ef
fect It is planned by the company
to supersede these with modern busi
ness methods and American energy.
Modern sugar refining machinery will
be Installed at a large cost, which will
turn out the loaf sugar of the
American table, a variety which is
not manufactured In Mexico and
which sells there at a high price.
The plantation will be devoted to
a much greater extent to the raising
of sugar, whose acreage will be near
ly trebled, and these Improvements,
along with business methods, It Is
calculated, will yield the investors a
fair profit, and work to the advantage
of the natives on the plantation.

who are Interested In the new com
pany are W. P. Winans, W. 8. Off

ECHO NEWS NOTES f
BACK FROM TONOPAH.
Well Known Mining; Man Says Con
ditions Are Bad, as Reported.
C. A. Turner, a miner and pros
pector who Is well known In many
Northwestern mining camps, arrived
In Portland yesterday from Tonopah,
and Goldfleld, sore In body, wiser,
but wearied in mind and thoroughly
disgusted with himself for having
been tempted to drift with the crowd
into a "boom camp," as he charac
terizes the Nevada desert district,
says the Portland Telegram.
Four months ago Mr. Turner, who
is a pioneer prospector, left Baker
City for the new Eldorado. He spent
three and a half months In the camps
and says that If he had been detained
10 days longer he would never have
come out alive. 'Maladies developing
from the breathing of dust that arises
from the soli, are prevalent, and con
ditions .are not at all inviting, In bis
Judgment
"There Is something In the soil at
Tonopah that Inflames the mucus
membrane and particles breathed into
the lungs cause great distress." he
said. His Hps are still sore, although
now rapidly healing, and he referred
to their Inflammation as an example
of what happens with many persons.

Mrs. George Hays, living at No. 223

Doan's Kidney Pills to all sufferers
from backache and other kidney Ills,
with utmost confidence that they will
do everything that has been claimed
for them by those who have used
them, as well as by the makers. The
trouble for which I used them was
principally backache, with which I
had been troubled for a long time.
It hurt me badly when I stooped to
do any housework that caused a
strain on the back. I read an adver
tisement about Doan's Kidney Pills,
and decided to try them, feeling that
they could not harm, even It they did
no good. I got a box In the store
of Brock A McComas Co. and used
only one box, as that was sufficient
to relieve the backache and I have
not felt It since."
