Cuba. The export and import du-
ties on Cuban sugar alone would be
a fair profit. With the prospect of
a fair duty on sugar, which is con-
fidently hoped for, Florida should
soon produce a large part of the
sugar consumed i'm the United
States, if not all of it.
Captain Ross established the St.
Cloud Mills in 1886 atferward selling
the plantation to the Disston Com
pany. He has always contended that
the Kissimmee Valley was pre-em-
inently sugar growing region, and
this purchase by men who have ac-
quired full knowledge of the bust
ness in all of it's details confirms the
believer.
Kissimmee is elated over the
transaction, and hopes, with much
good reason, to see soon a number
of mills similar to those at ST. Cloud
established on the vast area of rich
muck land in this valley.
The exact consideration given for
the estate is not positively known,
but it must be in the neighborhood
of $250,OOO. The purchasers will take
charge as soon as the former own
ers can remove the products of the
present crop
The property consists of 2,25C
acres of rich reclaimed land lying
between East Lake and Lake To
hopekaligo, with mills having a ca
pacity for 200 tons of cane a day
The property is approached by the
Sugar Belt railway of the Plant Sys-
tenn. The Cuban purchasers will
treble the capacity of the mills ait an
estimated outlay of $4,000, and 60l
tons of cane will be handled every
day of the grinding season; and
they intend to begin at once prepa-
rations to put in 1000 acres of cane
They propose to bring skilled la
Dor from Cuba, adopts at cultiva-
ton, milling, and all branches Of
sugar-making and refining. The buy
ers are acquainted with all the eco
nomics of the business, and are
quick to perceive the employment
of useless labor AS an instance, on
their recent visit they found sixteen
men employed in doing what two OF
three men do in Cuba. On their es-
tates in that country the slightest
expense is matter of the greatest
consideration, for the growers have
to compete with the whole world.
In the operation of this great
plantation these men will have a
number of associates, all practical
sugar producers. Captain Rose will
very likely be associated with them
i'm the management.

male, who would otherwise have
product which will return money to
circulate in domestic channels. An
other advantage is that the industry
can be built by home capital. A
canning factory is, in every respect
a home industry. The south raises
nearly every variety of fruit and
vegetables, and the industry would
thrive there; especially would it be
of advantage to small towns
The best paying products to put
into cans are peaches, tomatoes,
pease, beans, corn, sweet potatoes,
berries, oysters, fish and shrimp.
The market demand for these goods
increases each year, as the people
learn the value of these food prod
ucts.
The southern states should not be
forced to purchase canned goods
from the north and west, when the
natural resources of your own coun-
try offer such inducements to the
esta blishment of the industry Some
two years ago | had occasion to
sample can of very fine Maine
corn in one of the leading cities of
the south. I remarked to the dealer
that [ could duplicate it in the
south. He ridiculed the idea and
said that it 'cOuldn't be done out
side of the New England States" I
told him all right, would prove my
assertion true later on. Some three
or four months afterward [ present
ed the gentleman with a can of corn
packed in the south, by myself, and
asked him to sample and express his
opinion of the same. He did so, and
into the market and tell dealers to
get down their best brands. and
yours will cut out with them. You
| have got the corn to do it with. If
that is the kind of corn you are
packing in the south you won't have
to hunt for buyers long, they will
be hunting for YOU
So small is the stock of canned
goods on hand that the holder can
we'll afford, if necessary, to wait I'M
til spring to dispose of it. The de-
mand for consumption increases dis
proportionately to the supply, and
if Gamers would reflect, there is
rarely any real cause for anxiety.
This country is large, facilities for
distribution are increasing, and the
trade for canned goods is growing.
In every household they constitute
portion of the daily rations, and
they are cheap, ready for use, and in
all respects desirable. Without them
there are portions of our country
that would be forced to subsist on
salt meat and bread. To the camp,
the mine, and the mariner they are
now indispensable.
The worst feature of the business
is the ignorance of the buyers as to
the assortment of output. They
swallow any and all reports and few
are governed by sound judgment.

AT GRANTS TOMB.
DEDICATION CEREMONIES WERE
GRAND.
All Nations and All Classes OF People As
sembled TO Honor the Memory of the
Great General-PresIdent Me-
kinley's Address.

New York, April IS. The tomb of
General L. 5. Grant, the free gift to
the Nation by million citizens of the
republic, was yesterday dedicated
Never but one in the history of the
world, and never before in the history
of the United States has such tribute
been paid to noble dead as when the
wondrous pageant by land and sea, the
Nation dedicated the tomb that now
holds the body of Ulysses $. Grant
1t was an occasion more of triumph
ant eulogy and national pride than of
funeral rite, for in these twelve
years since first the Nation mourned
for Grant, the keenness of grief has
worn off, and there lives in the hearts
of men the hero worship which has
found such tumultuous vent today.
The dedication was participated in
by all classes of people All nations
were represented, but not the least
noticeable feature was the presence of
SO large a number of confederates who
came to attest to the greatness and
foremost master of war, loved it not
Both confederates and sons of confed-
crates had prominent place in the
military parade, and under the diree-
tion of General John Il. Gordon,
placed floral wreath on his tomb.
Surrounded by his cabinet, his gen
erals and his friends, President Me
Kinley stood and reviewed the grand
est military pageant ever seen in this
city. There was regular soldiers, reg
ular sailors, national guardsmen of the
rams, confederate veterans and the
stripplings who in the future may fight
as gallantly as their fathers did.
The naval demonstration was as
grand as the land parade. All fore
most nations were here represented
vieing with each honor and to do
honor with the departed dead,
When the cheering was at its loudest
a touching scene was enacted which
was seen by few. Silently Mrs. Grant
stole away from the presidents review
ing stand, where she had been watch
ing the gallant troops go by. and,
leaning on the arm of her son, Colonel
Grant, made her way to the tomb. fol
lowed only by the members Of the
Grant family. The bronze doors were
opened and the widow of the hero pass
ed from the noise of the outside world
into the quiet of the tomb. For abou'
ten minutes she stayed there, and then
with her face hidden in her hands, sh,
left the scene.

SID LARKINS HANGED.
Pays the Penalty for the Brutal Murder of
Josie Hill

Blackfoot, Ida, May sid Larkins
was hanged here yesterday for the
murder of his mistress, Josie Hill. at
Idaho Fails on Christmas day, 1895.
He met his fate b;avely and without a
tremor Since his incarceration he has
been model prisoner and won the es-
TEEN Of all officials.
The execution recalls the Callahan
murder mystery of Salt Lake, both
Josie Hill and Larkins being suspected
Of knowing mething about the
crime. Callahan was wealthy min
ing man of Denver, who was visiting
in Salt Lake during the summer of
1891. VIII lie here he got in with II
number of sporting people. and became
enamored of Josie Hill then an inmate
of a house of ill-fame on state street
Salt Lake City. On the night of his
assassination, he and the Hill woman
went out driving They first went out
to the Hot Springs and from there
down to the halfway house on State
road. They stayed there until 3
O'Clock in the morning, and then start
ed back to town. Callahan was known
to have good deal of money about his
person. Shortly after leaving the
walf-way house. a highwayman stopped
the horse and demanded money. Call
ahan made "a fight. and was shot and
killed by the robber. The woman was
suspected of being implicated Lar
kins, being very intimate with her.
was suspected of having fired the shot.
Both were arrested and held, but no
evidence could be produced against
them.
Larkins made a statement denying
all knowledge of the affair He also
warned all young men. as they feared
death, to beware Of dissolute women
and whisky, saying his ease should be
a warning. I.arkins was raised in
Utah, his father being resident of
Weber county at the present time.
