U. p. Pine Forests Disappearing.

LAUNDERING will be an exceedingly
active industry this winter in the up
per peninsula OF Michigan and in Mar
quette county: the cut of the jobbers
who are already in the woods in this
county will aggregate lG, 700 900 feet.
There are 500 men employed in the
camps now established. Wages this
year are the highest they have been
since the panic. LAUNDERING operations
which will be carried on in Alger, Luce
and Schoolcraft counties will be the
largest in the history Of the region.
1t is estimated by old time lumbermcn
that the output in those counties will
exceed any previous cut by jO,ODO,O 600
feet. At this rate the already thinned
forests, of what was once considered
an almost ineXhaustible supply of pine,
will soon disappear.

Central American Union Tumbles.

The attempt to effect a coalition be-
tween the states of Nicaragua. Hon
duras and Salvador, to be conducted
under q common administration and
known as the United States of Central
America, has failed completely. The
federal organizers have formally de-
clared the union dissolved, the three
states resuming respectively absolute
sovereignty. The collapse is due to
the failure OF the troops at Honduras,
acting in behalf of the federal organ
izers, to suppress the outbreak in Sal
vador against the proposed federation
and to force Salvador into the union.

There is much talk at Washington

Blanco Returns to Spain.

Blanco, the last Spanish captain-gen-
eral TO rule Cuba, has returned TO his
native Spain. There was no demon
stration az his departure from Havana;
in fact only those visited him to say
adieu whose military duty compelled
them to do so and instead of the com
forting words of friends only bitter
vituperation is now heard from his
erstwhile associates who openly de-
nounce him as being responsible for
the disasters which came to Spain in
the latter days of her attempt to rule
the island. He is openly accused of
weakness and lack of character. He
is made responsible TOR the reverses of
the campaign and the final result of
the war, as the corrupt instrument of
the corrupt and unprincipled few who
rule Spain.

Portland Went Down with 90 Souls.

The steamer Portland, of the Boston
& Portland Steamship Co., which had
90 souls, including officers and crew, on
board, was totally wrecked off High
land light, Cape Cod. The passengers.
numbered 81 and the crew 4s. The en-
tire crew and all passengers persisted
within short distance of land. Within
"a hours "a bodies had been recovered
from the surf by the life-saving crew at
Highland station. One body was that
of a woman.
The Portland was built in Bath in
1890 and was II side-wheel steamer of
1917 tons net burden. Her length is
23O feet, beam AZ, and depth Is feet.
She was valued at S250,000 and is fully
insured
Later.-Reports from various points
on Cape Cod and whereabouts, which
were delayed on account of the de-
structlon of telegraph communication
add considerable to the loss caused by
the storm. Fully 80 wrecked vessels
have been added to the long list and at
least IL souls persisted on them. 1t is
now certain that over 200 lives were
lost in the terrible storm. The exact
number of persons who were carried
away from Boston by the Portland
will probably never be known, as no
list of passengers was retained when
the vessel left, but it is the most gen
eral estimate that 1870 persons-passen-
gers and crew-were on board, and
not one soul was saved

In the Grip of King storm.

What was undoubtedly the worst
snow storm Michigan has experienced
in several years swept over the south
eastern portion of the state on it's way
west from New York, Ohio and through
Canada. Probably the greatest dam
age was caused by the destruction of
telegraph and telephone connections
and the delay of trains, many of the
latter becoming stalled. At Detroit
street railway business was paral wed
and over 5000 telephones rendered
useless. Te.egraphic communication
was cut of from the entire outside
world.

About Sugar Feet Contracts.

Land Commissioner French, who is
charged with the enforcement of the
beet sugar law passed by the lcgisla-
cure of 1897, finds that contracts which
parties are making with the farmers Of
Monroe and Oakland and adjoining
counties, for the growing of sugar
beets, are not according to that law,
which offers q bounty of one cent a
pound upon all sugar manufactured
n Michigan from beets grown in the
state. That law provides that "the
manufacturer shall produce good and
sufficient receipts and vouchers to
show that at least 81 per ton of 1900
pounds has actually been paid for all
beets purchased, containing 2 per cent
Of sugar" and "a sum proportionate to
that amount for all bcets containing a
greater or less per cent of sugar" The
law makes no discrimination as to the
co-efficient purity of beets. The same
price is paid for bcets with co-etfi-
rient of purity Of 20 as for those of n
purity of So, should the per cent of sugar
be the same but prices set forth in the
contract spoken of are on basis of
coefiicient purity and are much less
than the price required by law, and
the state will not pay any bounty
upon sugar manufactured from beets
secured under such a contract and paid
for accordingly. This contract also
provides that farmers must accept the
tests Of the factory expert as final, but
the law says that the state land COM
missioner shall appoint suitable weigh
men and inspectors and assistants.

Its Construct on is Only the First of Series of Many Enterpr.ses for the Development of Northern Arizona.

Williams, Ariz., March 1.-(Special) ) The much talked of proposition, a railroad to the Grand canyon, assumed real, tangible shape with the begin ming of the work of construction which has beer inaugurated under the direc- ,tiCf of Gwynne Dennis, general man. ager of the Grand Canyon Railway company. The ground was broken to- day and a corps of engineers and work men, consisting of a well organized force of men, are engaged pushing the work as fast as the conditions of the ground will permit and it is safe to between Williams and the Grand can yon before the sumr4Ar is far advanced.
 The building of the road will be fol- lowed by other enterprises of i'm portance, namely, the construction Of a shelter at this point for the reduc- tion of the ore from the Grand canyon copper mines and the ore from the White Hills mines. Several carloads of machinery have been in Williams for some time waiting for the prepara- ton of the site of the shelter before being put in position. The capacity of the smelter will be eighty tons per day, and it is probable that for a time after completion the capacity will be taxed to it's utmost, with the one al ready on hand.

 Eighty girls who slept in the dormi- tory with Miss Fuller have left for their homes and those who cannot get away are miserable in their fear of the disease, as very few have been vacci- mated and they were exposed to the contagion for some time.
 Professor Reynolds is trying to re- store order, but the excitement is in creasing and it is feared that the spread of the disease will necessitate calling in state assistance.

 The Jung Brewing company asked that the portion of the complaint which claimed that there is a private agreement among the brewers not to sell to any one who owes any of the members of the brewers association be stricken out.
 The court refused to do so, and the complaint will have to stand. The brewers are afraid that the suit will bring out the secret agreement which they have and show the inner work lngs of the trust. The decision will be appealed to the supreme court.

Anderson, Ind, March 1.-There was an accident at the funeral of Mrs. George Gates at Frankton, a small town north of here, yesterday after noon, and it came near ending in a catastrophe that might have furnished several more cOrpses.
 The attendance was very large, and while the crowd was In motion in the church the floor gave way and precipi- tated all into the basement, where there was a natural gas heater. The pipes broke and the gas escaped.
 But for a quick witted man in the street, who turned the gas off of the building, many would have been burned.
 The remains of Mrs. Gates were taken from the building and placed in the Methodist church, where the fun eral was completed. Several were slightly injured, but none seriously.
