transferred to the former for consider.
alton of S25 900. 1t is the intention OF
Mr.. Dyer to place the entire addition on
the market at once for building purposes.
The land is excellently situated on the
northern side of town, is we'll supplied
with water and is altogether a splendid
investment. No real estate transaction
has attracted SO much att :ntlon for years,
as in the hands of this enterprising firm
of dealers, Messrs. Dyer & Hall. this ad-
dition will be pushed to the front. No
more desirable outside property is now
on the market and Improvements are
now in contemplation that will render it
second to none. This purchase was a
bold business stroke, and will be appre.
ciated in business circles.

Havana, Jan. 27-News has been re.

General Blanco left Havana for the pur.
pose of conferen ce with General Gomez
He carried s3oo.ooo with which to bribe
the Cuban leaders, 1t is certain that his
visit will be a failure, for as soon as
Gomez heard of his coming he crossed
trocha and went to Canaguey to consult
with the Cuban government He also
intended to w1rn them of SPANS evil
dent intention of bribing the Cuban lead
ers. This step Of General Gomez will
insure the cause of General Rlanco being

ABOUT FOUR CARRIERS.
rha. Number Can Render Boulder Fa,,

That Number Can Render Boulder Fairly
III Good Service.
Postoffce Inspector c. H. Thomas was
driven around the city today by MI
Paddock and three hours were spent in
noting streets. number of residences, re
conditions of sidewalks frequency of
street sign posts and numbered houses
and other matters necessary to clear
understanding of what will be required
to perfect the free delivery for Boulder.
While MIR. Thomas did not speak in a
final senss, it was gathered that he be-
lieves the city proper and the sanitarium
and university can be covered by four
carriers for two collections of mail in the
central portion of the town aud one daily
delivery for all portions, that being after
the arrival of the o:35 train from Denver.
Mail carriers, under the law, can be en-
ployed but eight hours a day and there
are other difficulties in the way of per-
feet service, but fairly satisfactory one
can, in Mr.. Thomas opinion, be intro
duced.
The salaries of mail carriers are 5000
for the first and $500 for each subsequent
year and such places are secured by civil
service examinations before the examin-
ers at Denver.
The mission of Mr.. Thomas was to
plat the town for the purposes of the
service. He stated that Boulder was en-.
titled to it and he didn't blame the citi-
,zens for asking for it.
Mr.. Thomas met Messrs. Allison, Nc.
Clure, Glf1n and Paddock at the FIRST
National bank and there the former
gentleman assured the Inspector of the
free use of such electric light poles as
might be needed for boxes.

great quantity of the winter flowers of

All the world. with the exception of Asia.
comes to the southern states for timber.
The single port of Brunswick. Ga, export
ed lumber or timber in some form last year
to twenty-five different countries. Forest
products. not including turpentine and
resin, were shipped from the southern ports
last year to the value of about S25.000,0U.
During the same period the domestic con-
sumption was probably five six times as
great. carrying the total value of the south
ern forests up to about S1J0.OO,oU The
south, the great lake states and the north
ern states now cut equal quantities OF tim
ber-about 12.o00.009.000 feet each year.
Chief among the trees of the south is the
pine. of which there are four important
varieties. Roughly speaking. the pines
cover half the territory between the Poto-
mac and the Brazos river i'm Texas, or
about 10000 square miles, and will cut
250, 900 000. 900 feet of merchantable lumber.
The annual consumption averages about
0O0,OU,0O and at this rate the south can
supply the world for thirty-five years. An
other of the most valuable woods In the
south is the cypress. beautiful in color and
grain, durable, easily worked and adapted
to almost every use to which a building
wood is needed. The annual production of
cypress. including shingles, approximates
Go0.O00.000 feet, and it is estimated that
there are J0O00.00O.000 feet OF cypress on
the stump. The hardwoods OF the south
embrace nearly all the varieties to be found
In the United States, and cover 15,OOO UW
acres. Among the more important COM
n.ercial hardwoods are the different kinds
chestnut. gum. magnolia, cedar. bay, wal
nut. butternut. pecan and sycamore ana II
is estimated that the south has 800 600 OOo-
600 feet OF such wood standing.

peculiarities of our English restaurants. A
wealthy Yankee friend of mine, who was

thing to invite all those concerned in Lon
don to luncheon one day. Acc2rd.ngly, he
went to the manager of one IF The most
celebrated of our fashionable restaurants
and, after. engaging a private room, gave
instructions that no expense should be
spared to make the meal a astronomical
success. the only proviso being that he
snould select his own wines. Everything
passed Off splendidiy until the cigar and
coffee stage WAS reached, and the host
asked that his bill might be brought to
him. He ASSURED, me that he had never
felt smaller IA his life than when the mead
waiter, in the hearing of the assembled
company. approached him, AMI in a loud
voice asked. ..sAndr how many breads have

Everybody Eagerly Awaiting Madrid
News.
The members CT the House of Reoresen-

excitement this morning. Everybody was
eagerly awaiting news from Madrid. Peace,
members say, depends upon a slender
thread. A prominent republican of the
House save it as his opinion that the sit
uation was more critical today than it
ever had been.
''fhe reply of the Spanish ministry re-
ceived by the President last night" said
he, "is unsatisfactory But diplomacy Is
slow. and great nation cannot be forced
to back down in day"
A republican member of the House for
eign affairs committee said that the order
for the release of the reconcentrados would
not be satisfactory, and added: There is
no doubt what the ultimate result must
and will be. Cuba will be free and indie
pendent.
Il think it will require war. 1 do not see
how Spain can surrender the island without
a resort to hostlities. But there is a
much better understanding today between
the President and the republican leaders
than there has been. Some of the most
radical who have talked with him are
satisfied that the President will insist upon
what they are demanding-the absolute In
dependence of Cuba
