El arreglo se (;onsum6 asi: En Mayo de 1899, lie- go Owen a la Ciudad de Mexico para procurar la ren(»- vacion de su concesion ferrocarrilera. Esta concesion era para una linea desde Topolo- hampo a Presidio del Norte. Antes de partir de New- York, habia depositado con los banqueros H. B. Hollins y Cia. de New- York, $40,000, para 8er usados como garantia, en la Ciudad de Mi^'xico. Un amigo de el y de Don Enri(iue C. Creel, Vice-presidente de la Conipaiiiadel Ferrocarril Chihua- hua y Pacifico, hizo que tuvieran una entrevista, y de aquella conferencia resulto el que convinieran en tra- bajar juntos, a fin de obtener una concesion lomas ven- tajosa posible, para ir a ToiK)lobampo; Owen, por su par- Tppolobampo materials.

In fact, it Is be- lleTed Utat after the first forty miles the railroad will, section by section, provide business enough to build itself, and that the road and telegraph lines may be cumpletc the "time in the tide of the affairs of man which, taken at tiie flood, leads on to fortune," and the same thing is true of com- munities. There is already promised freight enough from the mines to make the first sections pay, and 5.0i people in the United States, exercising 200 different handicrafts and indus- tries, hare promised in writing to join the coionisU already on the spot as soon as the work of raiiroaeing spent by Ihe Atlan- tic shipping companies to gain half a dozen hours in the time of the Atlantic voyage, it must »)e patent to any <»ne that the opportunity and advanUgc offered by Top<)lol.nmj><> would be selied with avidity by the Paolfto mail steamship lines.

Mrs. Howland, writing from the colony In May, !»!». with many other points of lutorest, said : "The salubrltj- of this climate and the health of our people are, I l»ellcve, unparal- leled. • • • The soil Is about the best arrelful In their season. Fish canning, leather tanning and wagonmaklng are some of the industries that would 'pay' from the start. "Schools are in constant session at Ij» Logia, and a lyceum furnishes amusement and Instruction regularly everj- week, with dancing classes for children and adults; also, a social culture group, where Spanish and botany are taught. "The people are, as a rule, working faithfully, and except some disagreement upon non-essentials, are united and har- monious. Those who work discord are always illssatisfled with the colony and soon leave. "Our working system is an exchange of services. Credits for labor and all accounts are carefully kept. The Credit Fonder Company is a businens organization We will build no churches, knowing they are to be superceded by free and happy homes in an orderly, moral and progressive society. Such a society we are trying to build up, and we need good, industrious, intelUgent people who will work faithfully with us to this end. On such land and lb such a climate we can oaally orttato a veriUbifl.sajradise in a ffiw years, ftnd ehalf have it if we deatrve it. "One of our most cherished purposes Is to establish model industrial and scientific training schools for both sexes. Our Mexican friends besiege us for places In our schools, and when we have no accommodation for Iwardlng, they come under the care of a servant or older children and board themselves. Nothing will 'pay' us better than good schools. With waiiana plants are looking exceedingly well. Between three and four hundred plants of sturdy growth have just been set out. The older plants, put out last Spring, should fruit next season. The new puldlc dining hall has the rafters up, but further . progress Is stopped for want of nails. The bachelors and the one feminine nolilawt are growing Mtmgry for the completion of that building. Our women all declare that they will make the culinary department of the camp a success, and Director Mlks promiaea by word and work* to do all in his province lopolotwapo materials.

There Is one eolonist on the farm whom everybody always knows "where >to find." Mr. JoneH has been the company shoemaker for years— six or seven, I believe — and Is always falthrully, patiently at work. He says tell the friends North that there is room for more good shoemakers hure, and no danger of being "thrown out of work" ; also that "flndlngs" should be brought with them. .Vny friends engaged in the bOslneas who eXpeet to Join the ootony would do well tu oom- munlcate directly with friend Jones for more particular In- formation. The shop is well supplied with such things as can be obtained here. He wishes very much a manufacturing sewing machine for sewing svles, etc. Other articles hH sug- gests that friends bring are thread (silk No. E and linen No. 35), nails (4-M), lasting Ucks (IJ os.) This Interesting and uneful Industry suggests others which Hhuuld be established, and public utilities which can be in- augurated as rapidly as e.\pert» and skilled workmen come out. I have referred more than once before to the need of a tannery. Vfe need a laundry almost. If not quite, as much as the dining hall. We have no practicing physician nor dentist in th6 camp. Mrs. Wheeler's kindness and medicine chest hare bijen Imposed upon during the past season, and her skill has been very satisfactory to her iwtients, for 1 speak from the experience of myself as well as others, although she claimed to be "no doctor, only a doctorV wife." But it was imposing extra care and labor upon her. Mrs. Foss cuts, fits and makes dresses to the satisfaction of all, but has had more work than she could do Let plenty of other willing workers and thorough co-operators come, and only auck. Try to im- preas upoo all who contemplate Joining the eolouy that it it tke pfoi^ irko can and will make the coixlitlons.

Here is the "opportunity ;" the right sort of men and woroeu ar>k nothing more or better than that. I'oultry raising Is demouHtrated to be among our extraor- dinary opportunities. Mexican hens may ainiort be called phenomenal layers, and, as for growth, Mrn Davis made an ample broil for two a few tluys ajfo of a montk-ohl cSirkin from a brood she Is bringing up l>5' 'land without a luotlier hen. The commissary should l>e well supplied with |M>ultry and eggs. Mr. Owen's letters, so long on the route fnmi Mexico City, were publicly read Satunlay night last The happy Intelli- • gence of his brilliant succesH at every point could produce no great rreutitinn of feeling in the majority of the coiouists, whose conlldenoe in the issue of his cause had never been shaken. It is, however, a supreme relief Ut have all cause removed for mlaap|irehenHl«>n, anxiety ami distrust ou the part of the outside world, and -itn^ngthens the hearts of the pioneers. A number of friends assembled Sunday morning and iuaug- •■ urattMl a 8u«day school for the young folks, and formed them- selves into an adult class tor ethical and religiouK study. Another pleasant meetit g is the Sunday afternn niiigiug at Mrs. Pe<>fs. The Horticultural Koclhty has alxo lesuiiied ils * sessions, and the Lyeeum will be reopened m>ou. The Satur- day evening dances of the youiiK people continue, and the ladles' meetings Tuesdays and Thursdays. I should correct a statement made In my last note»i In re- gard to the mail route. The route remains unchanged through Fuerte and also the mall carriers'. But we have a P. O. eatabllahed at the Farm, and Mr. Oeo. Page, postmaster, as stated. The Inoorrectnesa of the information received at the Farm arose from the fact that a petition had been drawn up In SInaloa fof that route to Irhloh It was supposed the In- formation referred. In clearing np my lot I kept In mind the aoeommodation of my life-long friends and companions, the mocking birds, and saved some treef: and clumps of bushes near the house, the severe clearing ncuounting, I thought, for the fact that I hftd not seen them .-iround the settlements. My care was re- warded by the prompt appearance of a handaome pair and a young bird, which I Judged by his motions was trjlBg its wings for Ita first long flight. But there was no song — niot a chirp. The vlsitH continued, however, and a day or t.wo ago expectation was an>U8ed by the familiar nesting cry of Ithe old bird. "Now," I said to myself, "the male will sing." Bare enough, yesterday the full tide of song burst forth and the music flowed for more than an hour. This morning an or- chestra seemed to have been established In my bmsh. It sounded like a cone«rt of a dozen voices, but I believe there a-ere really only two. Xhe general health on the Farm through the season has been good. Mr. Korfhage had a painful illness, from which, however, we are all happy to see him recovered, and there have been a few cliills lately, but nothing of a character to cause anxiety as to the healthfulness of the location or cli- mate. DERBILL HOPE. Enoineeb Faum, Sept 15, 1893. A colonist residing several years In SInaloa writes : " When we consider all the peculiar and rare advantages of this location, for healtfuluess.

If they can't get at it in any other way tb«y wUl aak 119 "men of ntraw," then set to with all their forces to knock them down again, and then chuckle over It as having achieved a great victory. 8uch people may properly be styled destruc- tionlsta. Which is the bettor— to be possessed by such a spirit, or to l>e a coMstruetionist? The long delayed census bulletin showing the mortgaged indebtedness of Kew York State has )>een finally given to the public, and shows a mortgaged indebtedness on real estete amounting to $1,607,874,301, or $368 each, for every man, woman and child in the State. Not only this, but the in- crease of mortgaged indebtedness is so out of proportion to the increase of population that it must alarm the most care- less thinker. The increase in the incurred debt is 148 38 per cent., while the increase in population amounte to but 18 p^r cent. This is more than HglU times the rate of increase of population, and unless there is a very radical change In the financial policy of both nation and State from what we are suffering under to-day, the rate of Increase will be much greater still in the decade now passing. The outlook in this .direction is simply appalling to every person Who gives a moment's thought to what is going on. They must know that there is something criminally wrong in a public or economic policy that leaves it possible to thus load the productive in- dustries of one of the oldest States with such stupendous increase of debt. Productive labor must pay the' interest and eventually the principal ot this debt. But where or to whom is this interest and principal now paid, and to be paid? Is It not clear as day that this system is rapidly absorbing all the realty property in the Stete and centering it In the hands of a very few individuals? And, mind, this is only one form of Indebtedness ; debte in many forms, but not so easy to determine the amount. This is all wrong — ^the very reverse of what should be the case in an old State like New York, where the people should be practically free from debt. How long can the people endure such wrongs and burdens? Is not history re|)eating Itself In a way that destroyed govem- mento and scattered people In past time? The victimH did not see the danger then. Will they be wiser to-day? There is grave doubt of It, singular as it may seem, when the record is before theiA In all ito terrible realties of debt, destruction, and misery In a thousand forms. A portion of the people do see this danger, and are crving out upon the housetops, "Beware, or we perish." But thei«e are called "lunatlfs, "craKV people." preaching "aHsinlnc doctrines," SoolsUsts, Anarchists, ete.°. to the end of the chap- ter. And was it not just so of old? And did r.«t the prpdicte*! judgment of utter destruction come then? Are we, or are we not wiser than they? Oo out on to the street, to the ofllces, thefarmn, the uK^ps, factories— among those who are under .these mortgage burdens and paying these enonnouR rates of Interest — go nmong them and sollrlt their candid views, and see how many will confess to the danger that hangs over the next generation, if not over themselves. Not one in fifty, so little does human nature ch^ge. History seems to have little power to awaken their Intellect*- It is passing strange.

It was The Credit Foncier Company which Hhowed by the actual life and iuarkably productive ; that the flsh supply is vast and varied, and that the game is abundant and of the best. It was The Credit Foncier Company that built the great irrigating ditch ; that U 6] miles long and that has now about eight mll.v of aeequiat ; and It la The Credit Fonder Company which is at woric extending the main ditch fourteen mile* to water the alto of Paclte aty— the model metropolis which Is to rlM on the shore* of Topolobampo Bay. It was The C^redlt Vonder Company which caused to be issued "The Improve- ment Scrip " which paid for the labor, horses, tools, provisions, ete., to oompleto one of the few great Irrigating canals of our times ; and It Is this company which malntolns to-day, that the Ouenaey Market House plan of payment and the endit and Mfi system of aooounto, used by the Bepubllc of Venice, are the best ways by which all producers can exchange their servieea without giving niy<y to middle men. It is The Credit Voaoler Company which has sent publications, deeerlp- tive and Illustrative of Integral oo-operatlon, to the four quarters of the globe and which has, among every commercial people, stirred up thought and discussion of how to put Into actual practice theories which have been the ideals, the dreams, the Utopias of advanced minds for centuries ; and, to-day. The Credit Foncier Company stonds the embodyment of a sentiment — of the i-entime-tof home I ft, made fetftH. The Credit Foncier Company is the only {•■eorporaled exponent and protector of individual liberty, individual property. In- dividual character and individual religion. The Credit FoneU Company Is the only corporation on earth which Is founded to employ ito own members and in which the maintenance of principle and Justice are looked to as being of the first Impor- tonce; and where land and labor producte are held to be the only wealth. The Credit Foncier Company is the only tnoorporated organisation which stonds uncompromisingly against " in- . dulgence," license, tithe, tax, mortgage, bond and lien — against saloon, dive. Joint, games for money — against ways that are misleading and against paths in which pitfalisawait those who treadthereln. The Credit Foncier Company believes abeolulely In religious liberty, aud it wishes to sustoin every thought and act that is moral, progressive and rellned 1 he Credit Foncier Company has opened up a new zone in an old world, that a new life based upon an olu hope may be realised by all who will co-operate to build up an Ideal city, farm, factor>- and exchange, and it has maoe a more determined l>eginnlng, has laid up more principle, has made the foundation for better purposes, for more happiness and for greater wealth for Ito members than any other comi>any has in our day and for our raoe ; and it is because of the (tersistoncy in overthrowing the obstacles which nature and man have combined to put in their way, of the oonstoncy that they show to their principles and of their patience, good nature and peaceful disposition under great provocations that have calle«l the attention of the Mexican Oovemment favorably to the la wabidlng colonist of I be Credit Foncier Company.

As to my b«>lng a "hero worshiper." that may all be tnie. Whenever I ftee any men or women who, by their words and deeds, are eamextly (»trlvlng to aid their fellow beings, I must give them honor with my whole heart But when I see any who, Instead of striving to uplift and aid, use their energy to tear down the good works of others, even though the works may be feeble and misdirected, then I cannot but oryBhame." The world Is full of opportunities, and no one need strive to tear down another^ work In order to take his place There Is room and work fur all. As for A. K. Owen. I do honor him as one of the grandest of men. not because It is "Owen," but be- eanae of his steadfast integrity and earnest, unselflsh work for hnmaalty. At llr»t, Hoffman was enthusiastic In his praise of Owen and his work Also of *'Our Principles." which he now ridiooles. He sought afterwanl to make enemleA on the plea that Owen was false to his flntt position, while In point of fact ail hU grlev- anoe was that bo <-ould not make him false to that position. Mr. H. says In bis review: "It is prioctples and not men we would stand by." Amen Mr. H. We are willing to accept that as right, but you attk uh tu throw over both men and principles, and acc«*pt a worth Iffa article In exchange. So It has always been with those who4tght against what Is good and true. On one band they try to prove the falseness of the leaders, and on the other the falsity of the teaching. Any- thing to trample under foot truth and juatice, fi)r they feel that they cannot rli>e to the place they wish to ooeapy If truth and justice prevail. The writings of Mr. Owen are Just ss earnest. Just as truthful, just as helpful to-day as when writ- ten. Had he spent his time ir trying to tear down the work, and undermine the Inlluenoc of another. Ms work would have been worthless. t4Mi. But In no instauoe has he done this. Even when blUteeu when It b<><>u accused of UHlng Colony money for personal expenaes and for furthering the work there. If he hat Home so, tram it not riglUT tUi«iuld not all who hope to be beaeflted help bear the expense?- Frlenda, It seems to me that the work for all now Is to keep ItWt In view, and strive to make and save all the cash possible (or that date. Not ask of Mr Owen to b<>ar all the burdens and conquer the enemies, with the assurance that we will eh^rfully step In when there Is no danger and enjoy the vic- tory. But there Is danger of losing all we put In m>me say. Well, and what if there is? But I don't think so.

The meeting wss not Urge, but was composed of earnest workers. Dr. Boblnson. a prominent reform leader, was elected President, and Mr. Kendall (brother of Friend B. J. Kendall, who Is now at the Colony), was elected Secretary, with yours truly as Tressurer. It has cost some labor, but I feel amply repaid for time *BV9it 'or we have men interested who will irorlc, and that Is what we need. Dr. Bobinson Is well and favorably- known throughout the South and Northwest as a faithful reform leader, is one of the mainstays of the Populist party, «C bright and logical public speaker, and one who will devote time to the advancement of our cause. He Is ac- quainted with the country on the coast from Maxatlan to San Francisco, and can speak thus Intelligently of Its climate and resources, as well as on the subject of co-operation, of which he Is and has been for some time an enthusiastic student and advocate. With this man to lead us we should succeed In building up a strong Colony club. I think there will be several to go to the front from here this Fall, as soon as they can ar- range to do so. I would like more copies of No. 21, Nxw Citt. containing "Our Principles." the grandest golden rules ever laid down for the guldi^noe of man sinoe the publication of the Bible. I have read and reread them, each time with greater wonder at the manner In which the subject is handled and the field covered, and have no suggestions to offer, either to take from or add to. They are complete, and if those subscribing to them live to their pledgi>s, harmony will prevail, and success In every undertaking l>e assured. There will Im! no traitors to "trip us up," no <>lli|ii)w orgaiilxed for the pur|K>8e of defeating the object for which we are landed together, but all will work In unison for the advancement of our enterprise, which I firmly believe is destined U> revolutionize the world, bringing i>l«ace and harmony where now utrlfe and disease prevails. This might appear US vlsionarj' on my p«rt; perhaps it la, but I have heard of visions being nwlized, and this will, if a vision, be one of them. I have yet to meet the first person who win not acknowledge that co-operation. If carried out, will accomplish all that Is pUlmed for It. and it Is sutprlsteg the number one meets, who have never heard of the Topolo- barapo Colony, who are imbued with the co-operative idea, and only need education as to its working details to become en- thusiastic supporters, and.

We very much need tn the Colony a larger number of milk oowa. The bringing of cow» from the North Is of very doubtful expediency, while fair milk cows can be bought here for about $13 or $15 (American). These cows can be bred with American bulls, and, thus bred up, are a good race of cattle. If any friend in the North will advance money to buy cows, I wiU Invest It In the beet oows I can find, and hold the cows and calves subject to his disposal. All the calves except the Rrst one, or the one with the cow. would belong to the com- pany. We would like to commence the manufacture of butter and cheese this winter. If possible.

Quite a heavy rain the next day and the weather has nbt been settled since, repeated showers keeping the soil too wet for enltlvatloa The planting of the large crop of beans proposed was thus Interrupted. The planting will be resumed as soon as practicable, and if no frost this season, the late planting will make a crop. The planters will risk the frost. The Hortloultuiral Society has resamed Its session and amended Its constitution so as to admit to miembership all who are actively interested in horticulture.

FImm tell Mr. Owen that I have perused his letter with great tntereet, and that* I have written this day to Governor Oanedo, of Slaaloa, on the subject, with the purpose that be may devUe some measures whleh will give the Msalt o( prs- vwntlng ansrchlBte from cauBing any trouble In the colony, and also, from preventing the development of Mr. Owen's Meas to that end. I request you to call the attention of Mr. Owen to the fact of how ImporUnt It Is that he strictly ad- heres to the laws of Mexico and to the tenor of his oootraot, and to recommend him to be most careful that only good people may go to the colony, bringing with them oertiflcates of good )>ehavlor, signed by respectable parties in the coun- tries from whence they may come. They shall also bring oer- tiflcates from the Mexican Consuls ard permits Issued by Mr. Owen or by his representatives. All these documents shall be produced at the Cu^jtom House of entry, and afterwards shall be handed to the Fomento agent at the colony. It is indispensable to be most careful in the' admission of colonists tu have good people, because it will be much better to prevent their coming to the colony (or some of them at least) than to be obliged afterwards to banish them or to have reeourae to some other severe measure.

THB RBIGN OF THE PLUTOCIfAT, We live in a commercial age — not in a military age; and the shadow that is stealing over the American landscape par- takes of a commercial character. In short, the shadow is of an unbridled plutocracy, caused, created and cemented In no slight degree by legislative, aldermanic and congressiona action ; a plutocracy that Is far more wealthy than any aris- tocracy that has ever crossed the horizon of the world's his- tory, and one that has been produced In a shorter consecutive period ; the names of whose members are emblazoned, not on the pages of their nation's gloty, but of Its perrulations ; who represent no struggle for their country's liberties, but for Its boodle ; no contests for Magna Charta, but railroad charters ; and whose octopus-like grip is extending over every branch of Industry ; a plutocracy which controls the price of the bread that we eat, the price of the sugar that sweetens bur cup, the price of the oil that lighto us on our way, the price of the very oofflns in which we are Anally burled ; a plutocracy which en- courages no kindly relations between landlord and tenant, which has so little sense of its political duties as «ven to ab- stain from voting, and which, in short, by its etfrontery is already causing the unthinking masses to seek relief In com- munism, in single-taxism and in every other Ism, which If ever enforced, would Infallibly make their second sUte worse than the int.— Mom.

Twenty feet at the bottom, and four feet below the low water mark, it will supply one hundred thousand acres There are two hundred and eighty-nine thousand cubic yards ..f;;roundlo be moved, on the present plan, to linish. From the liflh day of January to the fifth day of February, there were moved ;^,.oo. cubic yards, with a daily average of twenty teams on the tlump ; that is, each team nnved over ore thousand four hundred .md f.irty-five cubic yards. There are now thirty teams on the dump, hence February will show a removal of not less than thirty- six thousand cubic yards. • C. B. HOKFMAN. L\s Tastes (Diich Camp), Sinai.o.*, .\1kx . Fki:'v 1'), iSi,i. A. R. Owen: — The work here progresses rapidly for the fotcc at work. We have ninety-three men ?n the pay-roll and thirteen women. There are about fifty teams at work which average daily lifty cubic yards per team, for every team actually at work on the dump. I think that the dirt can be moved for about thirteen cents total cost (wr cubic yard — may be less. The health is good ; the spirit excellent. Yours truly, C. B. Hiukmvn.
