Lots In the Hess Addition DIsfribu-

Tuesday was a busy day at the
court house, it being the time fixed
for distributing among the purchas.
ers the lots heretofore sold in further.
ance of the cannery project.
There are about 200 lots in the sub.
division. and nearly all were taken
at prices ranging from 500. so to $500,
and plans are already perfectiug fol
the erection ofseveral dwelling. AS
soon as all of the contracts are closed
work viii begin on the cannery build
ings. 1t is hoped that those who
have not done so will at once call on
Mr.. Lee NJ. Bender and execute their
notes as Messrs. Lovett and Rothwell
are anxious to begin operations at the
earliest possible moment.
Growers contracts ale ready and
the seed is here and all who expect
to profit by the enterprise should at
once call upon Mr.. Lovett, at the
Continental and close the matter, else
some way be too late, there being
disposition among farmers to enter
very largely upon the work of grow
ing tomatoes.
We have heretofore referred to the
magnitude of the project, but as il
seems to be growing, it may not be
amiss to again give an outline of the
buildings to be erected, all of which
will be OF brick and stone with gal
vanized iron or slate roofs.
The manufacturing building will
be I52 by o. feet, 4S feet OF the width
being two stories and basement, and
10 feet one story. The wareroom will
be % BY 4S feet, two stories. The
cold storage, 90 by 81 feet. was origi-
nally intended to be but one story,
but they are now seriously considering
making it two stories and may add
10 feet to the length. Boiler and en-
CINE room 40 by 40, and Office 20 by
40 feet. The loading and unloading
platform will be $50 to 900 by 10 feet.
There will also be the cider press
building and cooper shop, both OF
which will be disconnected but sup
piled with power by wire ropes on
pulleys. All will be equipped with
the latest improved and very best
machinery.
1t is more than possible that IS
ton ice plant will be added to supply
the 500 to 1000 tons of ice required
and to sell to outside parties, which
means cheap and pure ice to all as the
cost of manufacture will be Aery
slight.
From the above very brief resume it
can be seen that this city is to have
another industry second to none and
the praise is due to the gentlemen
who have SO energetically labored for
its accomplishment and others who
have purchased lots and otherwise
rendered assistance.
But it means more. 1t means more
houses and large addition to our
population, prosperity to the people,
and a better market for everything
farmers can produce.

busy TO receive Representatives wishing
to ascertain what he proposes to do as II
result Of the action of the house in adopt
ing the conference report on the Cuban
resolutions.
His course will depend upon the attitude
to be assumed by the president toward the
subject. The course of the latter is purely
Il matter of speculation. Since the trans
mission to congress last February of the
correspondence relating 10 Cuba much
matter has accumulated at the state de-
partmcnt bearing on the latter phase of
the struggle. For prudential reasons the
reports have been withheld from congress,
and it is impossible to learn whether or
not the state of affairs as set out therein
is such as to warrant any change in the
attitude towards the revolution different
from that the president assumed and de
fined in his annual message to congress.
The tests he laid down in the beginning
which the revOlutiOnists must fulfill. re-
main unchanged so far as can be gathered.
Relative to the expression of his good
Offices toward bringing about indcpend-

dent may find it within his inclination
and disposition to move in that direction

However, the president is not under the
necessity of deciding whether he will act
and how upon the resolutions and as the
rainy season is about to begin in Cuba.

ONLY TEMPORARY.

Washington, April 4.-The closing of
the post exchange at Fort Robinson,
Neb., as it is learned, is only temporary
and pending n decision by the judicial
officers Of the war department, and per-
haps by the attorney general, over the
question involved, viz, the right of
State officials to interfere in the internal
administration of the affairs of army
posts. The matter is giving much con
Germ to army officers, for judicial de-
cision adverse to the post exchange in
most instances would wipe out this insti-
tuition. which the experience of several
years past has shown to be of the great
est value in army administration as tend
ing to promote morality, sobriety and
habits of thrift among the enlisted men.
