About Porto Rico.

The island of Porto Rico, lying south east of Cuba, with San Domingo inter- vening, is only about one hundred miles long least aud vest and forty broad. But it is so packed full of riches that population of 80O,O00. generally lazy. illiterate and unskilled, are able to pay S3,000,000 tribute to Spain each year. support Spanish army and horde of Spanish office holders, and live very comfortably themselves. Porto Rico has had stormy history since Colum- bus discovered it, in 1493. or more ae- curately, since Ponce de Leon founded its present capital, San Juan. in 151O. lie began with terrible slaughter of natives, and Spain or her enemies have kept war and cruel oppression ehron- ic condition there ever since. It's pop- ulation according to the census of 1887. the latest, was 806,70 of whom about 100000 are white, 10000 mulattoes and 7o,OoO negroes. Only one in eight are classed as ''literate," but a majority of hhOSS Sdit Olli3 IttiNl I ut clIEldUo or Porto Rico is much superior to that of Cuba. Indeed it is. at it's worst, very similar to that of New York in July. seldom exceeding 97 degrees, and sink ing to 6S at night. But even at the hottest it is not veXed with much hu- midity, the air being kept generally free of moisture by the prevailing northeast wind. But Porto Ricans are more sensible about accepting weather conditions than we are in our hot days. They act on the belief that they will do more work in the course of the year if they do none at all when the sun is fiercest, so for three hours in the mid dle of the days when the thermometer is highest they cease all work. Even at other hours, those most favorable for labor, they go about the struggle for life in leisurely manner. As little energy as the Cubans have by our standards, the Porto Ricans have less. This is shown in the lack of energy they display in their periodic attempts to free themselves from Spanish rule. They have attempted this often. but always have given up after a struggle which would only have encouraged the Cubans. Among the white natives there is the large number of 25,O00 who are not of Spanish descent and among these it is interesting to note that the rebellious feelings against Spain arc aroused more by social than political wrongs. San Juan, the capital, has al
 ready been bonn barded by Sampson, as it has been in the past by Drake in 1895, by the duke of Cumberland 1898, by Baldwin Heindrich-who failed in his attempt and lost his life-in 1915, by the English in 1878, and by the English again in the middle of the last century, when George Washington was anxious to join the eXpedition.-Ex.

SAND WILL PACK.
Practical Lesson in Building a
Sand Road.

A. Palmer Stanton, writing of per-
sonal experience, says:
Between my residence and the rail-
road station was a sand road three
miles long, which, in winter was pass
ably good. but in summer the sand cut
so badly that it was almost impossible.
How to raise and cover the sand and
make a road that could be maintained
cheaply was the problem.
Of these three miles of sand, two of
them were level. There was also one
sand hill one-quarter of mile long,
with a 9 per cent. grade. and another
hill, called the summit" 300 feet in
length. which was composed of cement
gravel upon which the horses could get
a good footing, with a II per cent.
grade This gravel differs from the
wash gravel. Under the heavy traffic it
cements into a solid mass, which is not
the case with wash gravel. Two miles
and a quarter from the summit" was
the worst part of the road, one-quar-
ter of a mile long. The road at this
point had a turn like a crescent, and
here ii was determined to commence
work. commencing in the spring by
grading up the sand three feet high and
twenty feet broad on top. Then from
the bank sides of the road sufficient dirt
was hauled to cover the sand.
The entire twenty feet in breadth
was covered with cornstalks laid cross
wise on the road eight inches thick
then a covering of straw one foot deep.
To keep the road open to travel. it
was necessary to have an extra man
The record-union., 1898-05-12

and four extra horses with which to
hitch on to pull passing vehicles over
the work. After the cornstalks and
straw We're laid it was quite easy for
any team to pull its own load over the
new piece of road. To protect the in
side of the crescent, brush was cut and
laid against the side of the raised road
and the sand shoveled from the side
bitches and banked up against the
brush, so as to protect the road from
washing the coming winter.
In three weeks the straw and corn
stalks were ground to powder, and the
road was packed as hard as dirt road
principal teaming was hauling straw to
the paper mills. The wagons used
were the common farm wagon, the
front tires two inches, the rear tires
two and half or two and three-quar-
ters inches, furnished with rack built
load the straw in two bales wide and
three bales high. The covered bridges
on the road prevented any high loading
The load being top heavy caused it to
sway from side to side and thus cause
the wheel with its narrow tire to cut
summer, with all the teaming (from
two to three hundred teams per day),
not a rut was cut in this road, thereby
proving that sand would pack and
make a solid foundation.

Mr.. Hodson said yesterday that al

AT TWELFTH AND l.
The worst fire of the two was the
one that broke out at Twelfth and l
streets while the fire in the Clunie
building was in progress. 1t started
in a brick building on the southwest
corner of the streets named, which was
destroyed, also two frame dwellings.
Two others were partially burned.

formers loss amounts to about 500,
and he had no insurance. Fuller lost
his household effects. The building
was owned by C. c. Brown, whose loss
thereon is about 81 800.
Adjoining the brick on the west was
a frame cottage occupied by a man
named Frank Johnson and family. 1t
was mostly burned, and the family
saved little or nothing. This was also
the property of c. c. Brown.
On Twelfth street adjoining the brick
on the south, frame dwelling occu-
pied by a family named James Was
burned The members of the family
barely escaped with their lives. A lit
tie girl lay dead and ready for burial,
and others were i'll with fever. They
were all removed safely, however. The
property belongs to G. G. Brown.
Next on the south, at 90S Twelfth
street, was a frame dwelling occupied
by the family of the late Henry Witt
pen. 1t was partially burned together
with the household effects of the fam
lily.

evening of the delay of the firemen in
attacking the second fire He said it
