New Years Greetings.

The New Year brings with it
inevitable thoughts of the fu-
ture. The book is closed, and
it is little worth time to dwell.
upon it, except as we may gain
lessons tLerefrom for the flu
ture. But the future is rich
with possibilities. and replete
with blessingsif we but seethe
right way and follow it. We
may profit by the experience of
the past, and take with us to
the future the valuable Lessons
we have learned. BY applying
these to our. lives, we benefit
ourselves and profit the COM
munity in which we live. Let
us then, at the outset of the
New Year, resolve firmly to
profit by the lessons of the
past and carry ON better in the
future the work that is given
us to do.
~.
Locally, there is a vast field
of effort in the New Year. The
territory in the vicinity of
Washburn is just coming to be
opened to the eyes of the world.
In the development of this ter
ritory, each can do his share.
Every individual, no matter
how humble his station, may
lend a little aid to furthering
the prosperity of the country
which is our home. If we look
about us we see the oppottuni-
ties. Firm and united effort
means the steady and contin-
ual advance Of our prosperity.
Let none withhold his coope-
ration from the general work
of advancement. Let every
man put his shoulder to the
wheel and push. In that way
the chariot of progress will be
1I .fa '- .I. .L.
advanced, despite the greatest
obstacles. -
~
A year ago today and the
past years improvement and
development of the city of
Washburn was. a matter Of
speculation. No MAJ could
have guessed the growth the
new year would bring. In the
twelve months that have
elapsed since the. last year
when wonderful advances have
been made. New merchaptile
and industrial enterprises, new
buildings, new settlers, and a
current of new and warm blood
infused into the community.
How much more may be ac-
complished another year if we
lend the efforts to that end.
~
Looking in all directions
there is a vast field for the next
years work. There are hum
dreds of thousands of broad
acres to be subjected to the
pow and made to yield their
share Of the worlds stores.
There are new and broader
fields to be titled, that their
grain may flow into and out of
the city Of Washburn in a
golden stream. xThere are
mines to be opened, new coun-
tries to develop, new towns to
supply With strength and life,
new lines Of transportation to
open. and vast field for the

CUBA IN THE FUTURE.

In the Cuban constitutional convention
there are three parties. One is the Re-
publican party. which demands absolute
independence. with an army. navy and all
the accessories OF a frst-class power 1t
Is composed of the men freed from Spain.
the only memory OF which they seem to
retain is the official robbery under Spanish
a large expenditure of money to maintain
official positions. which would lead TO bank
ruptcy and revolution. The second party,
which is not a majority, and is not demon
strative. calls itself the National. It favors
self-government for Cuba, but looks with
favor to the supervision Of the United
States. The third party is called the Union
Democratic. Its mission is TO reconcile the
differences between the other two While
apparently small minority. 1t appears
to have the most influence thus far in the
constitutional convention. 1t has been able
to secure the adoption OF a proposition
which puts the island under one govern
ment, treating the different provinces as
is believed TO be very important decision,
since. if the United States shall have any
relation with Cuba hereafter it will have
only one government with which to deal.
Having succeeded in putting the whole
island under government in the pro-
posed constitution. this third party has
proceeded to elect board OF directors, the
object OF which seems to be TO get the
factions together in regard to the rela-
tons of the new government of Cuba with
the United States. Ostensibly majority
of this board is in favor of independence.
but a portion of IL believes that an "am.-
cable arrangement with the United States
would be better. At the same time the an
ncuncement is made that many OF the rad
Zeal Republicans have been converted to
the theory OF seIf-governing colony. thus
relieving the island of the expense of an
Independent army and navy. Reports from
the convention are TO the effect that an
insular government would satisfy the Gu
