J.B. Montgomery said to Washington
Post reporter: This year there will be
an increase Of 30 per cent In the acreage
devoted to wheat in Oregon and there
we're never such fine prospects OF an i'm
mense yield. In California am sorry to
say the outlook is the very reverse. The
great SanJoaquin valley, that produces
the bulk of the grain. has not had an
acre plowed so far, and in the last six
month not three inches OF rain have fall.
len, If heavy rains do not come very soon
the farmers OF California will be in very
bad plight"

DR.. C0GSWELL'S DEATH
The Old Time Granite County Resident Peace
fully Passes Away.
HIS MONEY TO GO TO THE PUBLIC SCHOOL
Claimed to Have No Relatives Living and
Knew of No Better Disposition to
Make of His Money Than to
EducatiOns Cause.

A telegram received from the hospital
at Missoula last Sunday announced the
deatl of Homer Cogswell, an old time
Granite county resident. About three
weeks ago Mr.. Cogswell contracted
severe cold, which later developed into
pneumonia, to which he succumbed
after brief illness Being without
relatives, he concluded hospital would
be the best place for him and went to
the Sisters hospital at Missoula for
treatment. Although hearty and ro-
Dust mountaineer his time had come
and he was summoned across the dark
divide. Before his death the sisters at
tempted to question him concerning his
relatives, but he claimed not to have a
relation on earth and expressed wish
to be buried at Philipsburg, where he
owned a lot in the cemetery, and any
money that may remain after paying
expenses Of his funeral should go to the
Pbilipsburg public school.
DR.. Cogswell as he was generally
called was born i'll Connecticut about
"a years ago and was resident in this
community for many years. He was
engaged in placer mining on Willow
creek, about 10 miles west of this city
and invariably spent his winters in
town after the placer mining season
had closed. He was man Of moderate
means and generally liked. At the
celebration of the Fourth of July in
1915 Mr. Cogswell assisted by reading
the Declaration of independence, he be-
ing the first person honored with that
| privilege in our mountain town. Dr.
| Cogswell was also one of the early resi-
dents of this city who contributed tc-
wards the purchase of the ground for
a cemetery anG he was present at the
first lnterment made therein, the fune-
raj being that of Charles Wordsworth
Although entitled to lot in the ceme-
tery which he helped purchase he never
made a selection and that duty fell
upon his friends who secured d choice
| resting place for the old pioneer, and a
monument will be erected to his mem
| Orv.

soula on Mondays train and the funeral
took place Tuesday afternoon from the

A HEAD-END COLLISION.
1t Results in II Serious Wreck and the
Blowing Up of IL Locomotive.

A serious wreck occurred on the main
line of the Northern Pacific about one
mile east of Bonita last Sunday after
noon. An east-bound freight train col
lided with lone locomotive, which was
running at high speed, and both loco
motives and four freight cars We're
badly wrecked. The collision took
place in cut, and sharp curve pre-
vented the engineers from seeing each
other until it was too late. The crash
was heard long distance away and
the boiler of the wast-bound locomotive
exploded, leaving nothing but the
wheels. The explosion hurled Engineer
F. M. House and Fireman p. j. Murray
in the air. and the latter was evidently
thrown into the river, as his body has
not been found. His hat-band and
pieces of his clothing were picked up
on the opposite bank Of the river.
Engineer House has leg broken and
also sustained internal in ii1l les.
The engineer and fireman of the east
bound freight were both cut and
bruised, bnt escaped serions injury.
A brakeman who was walking upon
top Of the freight cars was thrown to
the ground and somewhat bruised.
The cause of the accident is attributed
to misunderstood orders on the part OF
Engineer House, who had orders to
meet the freight train at Carlan and no
doubt read this for Clinton, which i
several miles further west.

Facts About Cuba.

Robert r. Hill, a well informed and
reliable official of the United States geo.
graphical survey and who has Travelled
extensively in Cuba, contributes to the
June Forum an article on that island
that has dispelled many popular i'lu-
sions and decisions concerning it, and
shows the conditions there to be very
different from the ideas hitherto enter
tanned concerning Cuba by many peo-
pie in this country.
In 1894, Mr.. Hill says, the population
of Cuba was 1851, 400, or about the
same as that of Alabama, Virginia
North Carolina or Wisconsin. This
population had steadily increased from
us, 900 in 1925. ''Sixty-five per cent OF
the people," writes Mr.. Hill, "were de
s~cendants of the aristocricy or stur dy
peasantry of CASTLE, Andalusia, Gaia
lonia, and other provinces of Spain, who,
while of Spanish blood, had, through
adaptation to environment, developed
into a race as distinct from the Span
lard as is the Virginian from the Eng
lishman." The remainder were mostl

of African descent. This population
averaged about sc to the square mile
eoualling that of Michigan. Contrary
to what has been represented, they
were as a class neither Ignorant nor
lazy. The higher classes, as in New
England. Pennsylvania, Minnesota ana
| Louisiana. were gentlemen of education
and refinement. skilled in agriculture.
and often learned in the arts and pro-
fessions. Some dwelt in picturesque
cities. the largest of which, Havana.
with the refinement and gayety OF an
European capital, had a population
numerically equal to that of Washing
ton"
At the other end of Cuba lies Santiago,
the city of picturesque villas. In the
whole island is to be found but a small
nroportion of untillable declivities and
| rocky areas. such as are found in New
| England; no fields of sterile, volcanic
| debris. such as occur in the central
| American lands: no arid areas, IKE
| those which make up so large a proper
ton of Mexico and the western half OF
the United States: no stretches of sterile,
sandy lands, like those of Florida and
other coastal southern states. Its pro
portion of swamp lands is less than tina
of the average American seaboard state
1.-The whole island" according to Mr.
Hill, sis mantled with rich soils-fertile
~calcareous loans, which, under constan
humidity, yield in abundance ever,
form of useful vegetation of the troplca
and temperate Chimes 1t is most IN
portant to bear in mind that the islam
is naturally healthful; its plague spot

Immediate vicinage have been lnfecte
t by centuries of Spanish occupancy. In
a battle of Cavite, as Mr.. Hill very prope
Y ly remarks, not only marked the end
four centuries of Spanish colonial r
nine. but aroused the American matte
to the appreciation of it's W place
e one of the great factors in the Angl
n Saxon civilization of the world.
