Havana, Dee. 26,--The events of the last
few days have had great effect on Cuban
politics. The circumstances attending the
arrival Of Gen. Wood and the departure
of Gen. Brooke taken with the speech at
the formal farewell banquet to the latter,
in which the intentions of the United
States government were restated, have sat
ishcd the CubIns that Cuba will certainly
be Independent within a reasonable time.
More than this, the arrival and public ut
terlnces of IIoratio Rubens have increased
the restful feeling that now apparently ex-
lists among all classes. Mr.. Rubens has,
without doubt, considerable influence.
Wherever he goes he is eheered by the
people; his room at the hotel is thronged
with Cuban officials seeking an interview,
and altogether he is regarded somewhat in
the light OF an oracle.

time by new birds from other farms and the business conducted on a much larger scale than heretofore.
 MT. Orr. whose efforts are always for the building up of focal industries and the development of Arizona's resources, should be congratulated on the manner in which he has conducted this transaction and brought 1t to a successful issue to the perfect satisfac- ton Of all concerned.
 The sellers, the Phoenix Ostrich company, are sanguine of the success of the new management and are free to assert that it will prove a money mak ing investment. the only thing that in duced them to sell being the large amount of capital necessary to handle the enterprise properly.
 A representative of the Florida Os trich Farm company will be here dur ing the first week in January to take charge of the farm and it's manage ment, when perhaps more will be known of future operations.

THE OSTRICH INDUSTRY
Phenix Flock Sold to the Florida
 Ostrich Farm 0.

The day of small dealings hereabouts has not passed away and probably never will, but the day of large trans actions has been usherrd in and from this time on capital will look toward the Salt River valley for large invest ments as well as for the good things that come in small packages. Arizona has bis mines, 0ig railroad prospects and big water storage enterprises, all Of which are claiming attention. but liS deal has been closed up through Mir. Thomas A. Orr of this city. which is somewhat novel compared to these other specUlations. ia that it is the de- velopment of an infant industry which is rapidly OutgrOwing it's swaddling clothes and which involves sufficient capital to command attention.
 The transaction referred to is the sale of the Phoenix ostrich farm. Rather, the birds which inhabit the present farm. together with all the paraphernalia thereunto belonging and employed in the conduct of the business, to the Florida Ostrich Farm company of Jack sonville, Florida.
 To make the story complete a short resume of the ostrich business in America will be apropos and explana- tory. To begin with, there are but few
Arizona republican., 1899-12-21

places in the United States where os- trich breeding has been successfully undertaken, owing to the climate, the peculiar habits of the birds and desir- able food supply.
 It has been proved that this valley possesses more of the natural require ments of the business than any other places where experiments have been made and the Phoenix ostrich farm with it's 1SO birds stands as a monu- ment to it's success here.
 Elsewhere the only places where os- trich farming has been carried on to any extent are southern California and Florida. A number of years ago Mrs. J. Harbert of this city brought several birds here from the California farms, but before the transfers were fully com pleted and the business inaugurated all but two of the birds died. From these two the flock has been increased to it's present size of one hundred full grown birds and about eighty birds of various ages, from chicks up.
 It is asserted by those who are in position to know that ostrich farming when backed by sufficient capital IS unausstionabIy a profitable enterprise, though it is slow to start. Birds are expensive, the dangers of death to the young chicks are ever present ana u is some years before the birds mature to fine feather producers. But when all tnis is accomplished it is said that nome grown" eGtheIs can be placed on the market at much less expense than they can be taken from the Dir s n their native country. The supply Is also far too limited to appreciate tle price of the ever popular plume.
 About two yeaIs ago the Florida Cs- trich Farm company came into pos session of the Florida farms, and lat year il bought the California farms.
 Through the efforts of MT. Orr. a reprs sentative of this company came to Phoenix some time ago, inspected the birds, farm, methods of handling. etc, and since then negotiations ha e been in progress for the purchase Of the same, with the result as above stated.
 The Florida company now owns every ostrich in America outside of menageries and an occasional bird held by fanciers. They are by far the largest handlers of ostrich feathers in the world and practically control the market.
 But what interests the people of this valley most is that the sale instead of indicating the removal of the birds, is an assurance that on the contrary the flock will be increased. It is under stood that the Florida company pro poses to make this valley the largest ostrich breeding place in the United States. The present flock will in all probability be added to from time to

his customers with milk bought from a neighboring dairy.
 The West End dairy has been severe ly criticized and the management is trying to square itself with the people. The managers of all the dairies realize that they must do away with the adobe water holes at once if they are to con- Jinue in business. It is a move de-
 handed by the people of the city. The a gi ation Of this matter has aroused consumers of milk to such 0 degree hat the Gairyman who hereafter neg Iects sanitary precautions will find him elf minus customers.
 The milch cows at the West End dairy are fat and sleek. The appear ance Of stock is often deceiving, how ever In an examination made for for tubercular germs at one of the leading agricultural and stock raising institutions of the country eight cows were found to have tuberculosis which were the best appearing of all the cows examined. The manager of the West End dairy says that typhoid fever breaks out in the valley every winter, and it is no more alarming this year than previous winters. Since the physicians claim that the impure water given milch cows is responsible for the present outbreak the argument of the manager of the West End coincides with that of this paper, which is that the adobe hole must go. The cause must be removed, and an adobe water hole is a good place to begin.
 Water in the lower portion of the valley can be obtained at a depth of twenty and thirty feet. The formation of the portion of the valley visited by the reporter is easily penetrated. A pick and shovel will do the work and no blasting is required. For twelve or fifteen feet there is adobe and beneath

believed to be the office, he couldn't get in. Everything was locked uptight
 He understood then that he had been dragged into a three-card game. The police were unable to do anything for him. He had business sense enough left to telegraph to the Hanover Ma tional requesting that payment of the draft be suspended. Having met with this unexpected reverse he determined to return to his base of supplies. That is why he is in Phoenix now.
 As soon as possible after his arrival in town, still wearing his Artic over shoes and ulster, he' went to the bank where he does busi- ness and asked the cashier to telegraph to the Hanover National about the check. The reply came that payment had been temporarily stopped in compliance with the first request.
 Then another telegram was sent yes terday afternoon asking the bank to stop payment permanently. Thus MT. Jones has a fighting chance for his money and he will probably have to fight for it.

 Dairy.

The adobe water hole is doomed. Sen tcnce has been passed by the patrons of dairies in the valley, and the West End dairy will be the first 10 abandon this mode of watering milch COWS, since it vas the first condemned. 4 Republi- can reporter yesterday afternoon wis ited the dairy whose product was de- cided by the health officer to be of doubtful purity, and found that a well has been dug by the proprietors of the dairy and a good supply of water has been secured. The adobe hole, which was said to be full of impurities and fever breeding germs, will be filled in and the stock will be supplied with water from the well. A steam pump ing plant will be put in at once and troughs placed about the well which will be kept filled with water
 The manager of the dairy told the reporter that he did this for his own protection and to satisfy his customers. who were opposed to the adobe hole. He would not admit that the water in the hole was filthy, but nevertheless it was far from being clean. The hole, he said, was cleaned once every month, and fresh water was run in every few days.
 When the attention of the public was directed to the condition of the West End dairy 12O gallons of milk were be- ing distributed from this dairy to GUS toners in the city. The patronage of the dairy was probably the largest in the valley, taking as q basis the num- Der of families supplied with milk by it every day. The manager said that the present trade of his place amounted to eighty gallons, and he was supplying

there is a great mass of gravel eX- tending as far as the water course. The water is clear, but is not without a noticeable salt taste, which is charac- teristic of valley well water. Suffi- cient water can be secured for all watering purposes, and the city au- thorities should see such stringent reg ulations are imposed that dairymen will be obliged to obtain water for their stock in this way.
