THE FORESTS OF CUBA.
An Immense Amount of Valuable
Timber Land In the Island.

Timber Land In the Island.
Lumber Review: Cuba still posses
ses 100000 acres of virgin forest
Astounding in valuable timber, none of
which is useful as coarse construction
lumber, while nearly every foot would
be Saleable in the United States and
bring high prices. Cuban mahogany
and cedar are particularly well known
in the United States The mahogany
is very hard, and shows a handsome
grain, and is preferred by many to
any other variety in common use. The
moment Spain drops the reins of gov
eminent in Cuba and trade relations
are re-establiShed with the states, there
will be movement, both inward and
outward. of forest products which will
have beneficial effect upon the indus
try in both countries.
First to feel the force of this move
ment toward rehabilitating Cuba will
be the numbering interests of the South
Atlantic and gulf coasts. Prior to three
years ago they looked upon Cuba as an
excellent outlet for the coarse end of
the mill cuts, and since that market
has been closed to permit the prosecu-
ton of most hideous and revolving
war, the coarser grades of yellow pine
produced at coast points have been
marketed with great difficulty and sell
dom at profit. 1t is unfortunately
true that Cuba will be unable to re-
alize so promptly from a movement to
re-estahlish her mahogany and cedar
trade, for it is claimed by prominent
operators that the industry has been
so completely crippled by the ravages
of war that period of time running
from Il to Is months will be required
before logs can be landed at ports in
this country. 1t is hoped that all this
may be accomplished without shedding
an additional drop of blood. Prior to
the war the annual net revenue of
Cuba was $S00O0,00O. With peace re-
stored it would hardly be better than
$50, 600, 900. But under a conservative
form of government she would gain
strength and prestige from her closer
relations with the United States.

the store steps, with the exception that
more women are gathered. Over in the

most sought.
Across The desert some 40 miles is a
mining camp, but so few people are
there now that the postoffice has been
discontinued. No news reaches that
wilderness unless some one comes into
Deseret for supplies, and that same
person carries out the mail for the
camp. One miner subscribes for a
semi weekly, but by reason of infre-
quency of trips for supplies, three or
four of these papers reach camp at the
same time. The war news is old, but
nevertheless it's war news.

these gentlemen have demonstrated
that they are far in advance of many
of the senators from older common

representation in the United States

and freedom.

the bottling up incident excited Pat

HOW UNCLE BILLY GIBSON
REMEMBERED THE MAINE

| face of the cliff, a thrilling scene took
place. The rope, which was doubled,
began TO twist, and for minute or
two the painter was whirling like a
top in midair. There were many little
subdued screams from the ladies, a
number of whom were on hand to view
the proceedings from the base of the
cliff. After the whirling ceased. it was
found that Voight could neither be
raised nor lowered, so tight was the
rope twisted 1t then became neces-
sary for the painter to extricate him
self. He eventually managed to get
matters Strengthened out and was low
cred to the ground, and guy ropes were
fastened to his seat to prevent further
twisting. The plucky German was
this time raised to point 35S feet from
the base of the cliff, where the surface
is as smooth as a blackboard.
The words Remember the Maine"
was TO be the inscription, and the first
word was finished on Monday, in bold,
black letters is inches high.
Tuesday the ascent was again made
and the remaining words added, with
the name of William Gibson beneath
together with the date.
1t was the original intention to paint
facsimile of the ill-starred vessel just
over the inscription, but Voight' s
nerves suffered a relapse, and this part
of the programme was not carried out,
much to the disappointment of Uncle
Billy"
Although the old veteran of the
Blackhawk war would have much pre-
ferred placing the inscription on the
| walls of MORO castle, yet it will stand
forth for many years as thing of
wonder to the travellers who pass I'M
der the great cliff, to and fro, that one
mans patriotism should have led to
such perilous undertaking
Far up the cliff, above the inscrip-
ton, and on the topmost pinnacle,
''Old Glory" was flung to the breeze.
and today its star spangled folds wave
in plain view for miles along the upper
portion of the beautiful bench that
stretches along the western edge of
the valley.
The scene from the top of the cliff,
| looking out over the green valley be-
low, is grand in the extreme, the fertile
! fields and comfortable homes making a
picture of unequaled beauty.
After the incident last week of paint
ing the Maine inscription high up on
/ the canyon wall near the mouth of
Ashley creek, it occurred to several of
| those present that it would be a neat
| thing to raise the stars and stripes over
the peak high above Not satisfied with
mere temporary affair, Uncle Jake
Workman, whose patriotism is always
of the true blue kind. suggested that it
be made a permanent inspiration for
years to come. Accordingly a long flag
pole was secured and strengthened with
iron bands. a hole was then drilled in
the solid rock and the pole, with old
glory flying, was put in place. The
peak on which the banner floats was
christened Dewey Peak" in honor of
the hero of Manila bay.
Associated with Uncle Jake in the
patriotic incident were Mr.. Grant Car
penter, who resides near the peak, and
| George James of Vernal.

CHOSEN As Delegate to the CUBAN
National Assembly.
Havana, oct. 26.--Manuel Sanguilly
the well known author and orator, who
was a distinguished soldier in the ten
years war, will represent the Second
Third and Fifth corps of the Cuban
army at the Cuban assembly convened
to consider the establishment of per-
manent Cuban government His choice
by these troops, including the Hol-
gum, Tunas, Bayamo, Manzanillo,
Camaguey Matanzas and Havana di-
visions, is highly significant as indicat-
ing the sentiment of large number of
Cubans now under arms.
Sanguilly, who is a Cuban of the
Cubans and an extreme radical has
made several speeches of late that have
caused a profound sensation, in which
he has urged upon the Cubans the i'm
perative necessity of placing full con-
fidence in the United States govern
ment and has censured those who have
shown distrust of the Americans. He
has advocated the disbanding of the
Cuban troops and their return to the
arts of peace, dwelling long and earn
estly upon the Importance to the Gu
bans of securing the confidence of the
United States. He even went so far as
to declare that if the Cuban reVOlu-
tionary leaders should assume a hostile
attitude toward the Americans he
would enter the ranks of those opposed
to such a course. His selection at this
juncture, and in view of such senti'
ments, indicates that a rational judg'
ment is making headway in certain
quarters,

A WAR now between France and
England would be a strange com
mentary on the Cars recent dis
armament proposition. In fact, if
the war takes place the Cars coun-
try will be almost certain to be in
volved, for Russia's interests are with
France and against England. Gen
eral disarmament, from present indi-
cations, is an iridescent dream. Each
nation wants the rest to do all the
dsarming, and as consequence
armies and navies are likely to grow
much larger before they begin to get
smaller. In this instance, however,
the two nations are not likely to get
any closer than the range of diplo-
matte bullets.

alone with a little hymn-book pressed
to her brow, she allows her thoughts
full play, says "A writer in the Ladies

hymns out, but composes the stanzas
one by one until the whole hymn is
completed then she dictates it to an
amanuensis. Her memory is remark
able. AS an instance of this she
states that Philip Phillips had once
asked her to write the words of forty
hymns the titles of which lie read to
her. These titles she retained in her
memory, and one by one she composed
the hymns. When the forty Were
finished she dictated them, titles and
all, to an amanuensis. She has
written over three Thousand hymns.
