Quanah Tribune – Chief

I see in Sunday’s Houston Post that a number of Greer county people are preparing to establish a colony near Escondon, Mexico.  I made inquiry of an American resident of Victoria:  which is about sixty miles from Escondon, in regard to the country.  He says that the water is very bad, and that it is very unhealthy in that vicinity.  While the land is very rich the natives will not develop the country on account of its unhealthiness.  My informant is a reliable businessman and has resided in the state of Tamaulipas for ten years.  I sent this letter to the Tribune-Chief, thinking it will cause some to investigate more thoroughly before embarking in what might prove to be a bad venture.
