The Phoenix Steam Flouring


 The Phoenix Steam Flouring Mill is now manufacturing , | high patent article of four which is equal to the best brought here from the east. , This flour is sold to the trade from 20 to 40 per cent less than eastern four. It is manufac- , tured from wheat raised in
 Arizona and the fuel and labor necessary to manufacture the same is paid for here, and not a dollar goes out of the territory except for flour bags and oil and necessary machinery for re- pairs. Why not patronize home production? When in need of four ask your grocer for the High Patent" and "Star of Ari- zona." JOHN Y. T. SMITH, Proprietor.

The main highway of central Porto
Rico runs from Ponce to San Juan in
northeasterly course through Juana
Diaz, Coamo and Aibonito, where it
goes almost eastward to Cayey, there
to take q winding course to the north
as far as Caguas, where il turns west
to Aguas Buenas, and then goes de-
cidedly north to San Juan through
Guaynabo and Rio Piedras, making
in all a distance Of eighty-fve miles.
The distance from Ponce to San Juan
ina straight line is only forty-five miles.

except that of the cisterns. A reser-
voir was projected and the plan was
approved by the Government some
fifty years ago, but owing to the man
ana system it has not been finished
yet.
The history of the Spanish admins
tration in the island is one of cruelty
and corruption. The Spaniards began
by discriminating the native Indian
population, which some historians
place as large as 500, 900, in less than
century. Every branch OF the ad-
ministration OF the island has been
conducted under O system OF corrup;
ton, the law was constantly violated
by the Spaniards and the natives were
deprived of their rights. At elections
the Spanish or Conservative party al
ways won, Notwithstanding the fact
that it was in large minority.
The liberty Of the press was un-
known. Articles printed in the Mad
rid or other Spanish papers attacking
the Government could not be repro
duced by any Porto Rican paper with
out the editors being punished, even
il the article in question had not been

There are seven or eight ports Of les
ser importance.
Over 10000 people live in Porto
Rico, and about two-thirds Of them
are white. Cuba is thirteen times
larger than Porto Rico, and its popu-
lation was not double that Of the
smaller island even before Weyler ex-
terminated third OF the native
Cubans. Besides Ponce and San
Juan, the largest towns on the island
are Arecibo 10000 inhabitants),
Utuado (3l,OOO, Mayaguez (2s,OO0),
San German 100000, Yauco (25, 000),
Juana Diaz (21,0O0), and there are
about ten other towns with o popula-
ton of 10, 900 or over.
In the past fifty years about half
the population has gravitated to and
around the towns, particularly those
Of the seaboard. They live in COM
Portable houses and many Of them
have the means to purchase all the
wares Of the civilized world. Porto
Rico abounds in sugar, coffee, tobacco,
honey and wax, which have enriched
the island, and many of the people are
well-to-do. A very large part Of the
islands trade has been carried on
with the United States, whose corn,
-four, salt meat, fish and lumber are
imported in return for sugar, molasses
and coffee. The natives have little
taste for sea faring and most Of their
foreign trade is carried in foreign bot.
toms.
Porto Rico is rich in natural bless.
ings, and for tropical region is very
healthful. For some inscrutable rea.
son Spain has given the inhabitants
far better treatment than she has the
natives of Cuba. She has dealt with
the island as though II were q Spanish
province instead Of merely q colony to
be bled by Spanish officials for the en-
richment Of themselves and the mother
country. In fact, the island has been
politically province Of Spain for over
twenty years. Spain has had little to

wages are very small.

wages are very small.
Life at San Juan and the other prin.
cipal towns is very monotonous, the
only amusements being retreta or con-
cert by the military bands twice week
and theatrical performances three or
four evenings week, matinees being
given very seldom. The theatres are
owned by the cities and rented to Eu-
ropean companies travelling through
the island at SO much an evening.
San Juan, built on a small island
connected with the mainland by the
San Antonio bridge. is quite beauti-
full city, with straight but narrow
streets and many fine buildings. It
has several public institutions and COL
leges, several churches and seven small
parks, among them the Plazuela de
Santiago, with very good statue of
Columbus. The city is lighted by gas
supplied by an English company and
by electricity supplied by local COR
poration. There are eleven newspapers
Of all kinds, the principal one being
La Correspondence, a daily political
paper, with circulation OF about 1000
copies, which is equal to that of the
other papers combined. There is o
local telephone company, but no water

Spain herself. The stretches OF rail-
road parallel with the coast are long
links In the line that is to make the en-
tire circuit OF the island, with short
branches to all the seaports and the
inland markets.
The mode Of life is very similar to
that Of the European countries except
for some slight differences due to the
hot climate. Fashions for men and
women alike are introduced from
Spain. and especially from Paris and
London. The well to do in the prin-
cipal towns dress just like people in
European countries, men wearingwool-
en- clothes oil the year round. The
young women dress very elaborate
ly, and all wear hats, the Spanish
mantilla being worn only by elderly
women. In the small towns men dress
after the fashion Of the cities, but wear
linen fabrics, as wooden clothes are
very uncomfortable, are considered
luxury, and are worn on holy days and
Sundays only. Laborers and farm
hands do not wear coats or shoes.
They do not care to do so, and, il they
did, they could not afford to, as their

The Washington correspondent Of
She London Daily Mail reports an in
terview witha distinguished American
officer, who is represented as dilating
upon the immense superiority Of Ameri-
can warships over British, especially
in armor and armament. The officer
is said TO have declared that the United
States battleship Alabama could blow
the British battleship Majestic out Of
water, and to have predicted that in
the next century America will be build.
ing warships for everybody. "Even
now" he says, "the United States is
able to build much cheaper than Ger
many or England" The Daily Mail,
commenting editorially upon this
startling statement, says; eve have
verified the data and are compelled to
acknowledge the correctness Of the
statement. We know also that there
is distinct uneasiness in the highest
ranks Of the British Navyat the under
