Descriptive Bits From a st. Paul
Mans Letters Home.
These letters, as they trickle in from
the Philippines, are giving an idea,
gradually clearer, of the life and condi-
tions of the American soldiers in the
Pacific islands. The following extracts
are from letters to his family at Fort
Smelling, Mimi, by q. A. COPYRIGHT,
chief clerk to Captain Jones, quarter
e,aster of the post. One describes visit
TO the cathedral.
cit is the finest church ever saw
and one of the largest. 1t has magnifi-
cent oil paintings and statues of real
gold, some with precious gems. In the
one I visited there are several domes
one nearly as high as the one at Wash
ington. But, after all, what do you
suppose the church is used for? Bar
racks for the Spanish. One had his bed
just in front of the altar, another slept
in confessional and their blankets
are spread all around the edifice. Guards
are placed at all the valuable paintings
and images. In one church there is an
image of Jesus valued at $175, 600 in
our money. 1t is about three feet high.
The display of gilt, gold and silver fur
nishings is very rich and costly.
"While I was waiting for shower
to pass I watched some native children
playing. One boy had on derby hat.

inow that that was everything he had
Oh. Another little boy was dressed just
in a coat, but they were as happy az
anybody and played just like the boys
and you and Ruthie. In our yard here
we have several cocoanut trees, two
olive trees, one quite large banyan and
several others that we do not see at
home. Flowers are in profusion, some
of the finest orchids, rare lilies, ferns as
tall as the top of our porch at home,
but none SO sweet to me as our rose OF
the old fashioned pink. The animals
they have for heavy loads are the buff
faloes you have seen in the menageries
as rare and wonderful beasts. They are
generally fat and sleek. The musk oxen
pillow the ricefields and draw the carts.

Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use of making a better
article than your competitor II you
cannot get better price for it?
Ans.-As there is no difference In
the price the public will buy only the
better, so that while our profits may
be smaller on single sale they will be
much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make Is the best?
If both articles are brought promin-
emily before the public both are GER
tain to be tried and the public will
very quickly pass judgement on them
and use only the better one.
This explains the large sale on
Cham berlani's Cough Remedy. The
people have been using it for years and
have found that it can always be de-
pended upon. They may occasionally
take up with some fashionable novelty
forth with exaggerated claims, but are
certain to return to the one remedy
that they know to be reliable, and for
coughs, colds and Group there Is moth
ing equal to Chamberlani's Cough Re-
medy. For sale by all druggists.

Seymour B. Young of Salt Lake City,
and other bright and shining lights OF
the followers of Joseph. Smith.
The sermon of Mr.. Woodruff was
particularly interesting. Hell quite
young man and has travelled much in
foreign lands. His education is OF the
highest order. His father who died
recently held the highest position in
the Mormon church. He 10 very IL
beral in his views and has not one
word to say against any other church
organization. In fact not one OF the
speakers who had occasion to mention
other denominations did SO with other
than the greatest possible respect.
During the services the best CT oroer
prevails throughout.
The last day of the conference was
devoted to the business OF the Young
Mems Mutual Improvement association
and the Young women held q similar
meeting in another room. The young
men are selected by the conference to
90 abroad on missions into foreign
Countries to spread the religion as
listening to them cannot help but adj
mire and respect their earnestness
even if we do not believe as they do.
During our stay in the place after
the conclusion of the conference they
gave ball so the young people could
enjoy themselves. 1 was present by
invitation. It was held in the large
hall where they hold all of their pub
lie gatherings, and it certainly was
very enjoyable affair. They Issued
numbers for dancing and charged q
cient to defray the expenses.
They have a good orchestra that fur
nishes the latest music to dance by.
There were 1O2 numbers sold for dane
ing. They danced no round dances at
ali, as they are not allowed by the
church.
Every one seems to be out for good
time and believe they have it too.
They do not vie with each other to see
who can dress the finest. They all dress
neatly and plainly. The young men
are generally fine, healthy looking fell
lows and very courteous in their man
ner. The women are very comely ana
they are invariably good dancers from
the oldest down to the youngest. Every
thing is very orderly-no confusion,
but just as jolly as can be.
At12 O'Clock the dancing stopped
and every body went quietly TO his
home. At intervals durinRsthe evening
the quartette would sing aud again
solo. There Is some musical
talent of very high order among
them.
The town has two brass bands. They
have one of the best schools in the
country, with the most able and ef-
hcIent teachers, aud they teach all the
higher branches. The school is well
ate nded; they have at present. in at,
tendance over 200 students. They have
one teacher who does nothing but teach
the Spanish classes. Colombo Diaz and
Dublan furnish quite number OF
pupils. They have q telephone line
running from one colony to anothe-. 1t
hiss cost a great deal of money but their
pluck and energy has accom- pills he'd it
all.
G. M Haws runs a stage line from
Casas Grandes to the colony and
msets all the incoming trains. AT
present there are no hotels in the place
but there is always q place provided
for strangers aud you can depend on
getting something good to eat. They

Special Correspondence of the HERALD.
CASAS GRANDES, Dec. 18th '9S.
To the HERALD:-l had the extreme
pleasure of wishing the community OF
MOrmons called Colonia JuareZ. 1t IL
q pretty little village of about one
Thousand Inhabitants, all members OF
the colony. The town is distant about
IA miles from Casas Graodes station
and ia beautifully located on the banks
OF the Piedras Verdes river, tn at stream
furnishing sufficient water to irrigate
the entire valley through which 1t
runs.
The residents of this little city are
principally engaged in farming, stock
raising, and fruit growing, fruit and
vegetsb les being their chief products.
They have large pastures containing
thousands of acres all under q good
post and wire fence. You can see large
herds of cattle ard horses scattered
over the hills for miles and miles and
miles where they find plenty OF good
grazing the year round. They also
raise plenty OF fine hogs and enough
grain to feed them. -,
Thew have two saw mills In the
mountains q short distance from Town
where enough lumber is turned out to
furnish the town ana Inc country ior
miles around. They have also two
Touring mills which are run oy water
power. The one nearest the central
part of the settlement and operated by
Stowell & Sons makes as fine an artl-
Gle of flour as you could IND In the
States. The other one, being more
distant, 1 did not visit but am inform
ed that it is first class in every par
ticular.
The water here is sufficient to fur
nish power to operate the heaviest
machinery that might be needed In
any kind of business They also have
q large furniture manufacturing es-
tablishmeut where they turn out an
immense lot of furniture. 1t Is com
plete in every particular with al!
kinds of machinery to do all kinds OF
work in that line and the machinery Is
all run by water power. There Is also
a tanuery business carried on here and
thew do an immense trade in this line.
They have two shoe shops, two black
smith shops, one butchershop, one
harness-shop, and two general stores
where yor can find most any thing
that you might want.
