laws were ignored until after the advent of Uncle Sam's military nephiews. Since there have been wonderful changes in the sanitary system.
 Havana has some very pretty parks or gardens, some of them are resting places for the tired pedestrian. No flowers in these parks; simply trees, whose leafy branches make inviting shade, walks and seats. Another and much larger park is nearer the bay. This seems to be the place of re- sort for pleasuro seekers; here two evenings in the week the band plays, and the gaily dressed senor and sonora while away few hours in merry conversation.
 Many of the ladies are beautiful and handsomely dressed. They arrange their hair in some a la Spanish fashion, which in the ab- sence of any head covering makes charming finish to their evening toilets. The girls are very pretty and intelligent, comparing favor ably with the higher class of girls anywhere. The women fade early and lose much of their beauty.
 Board here is a little expensive. Very ordinary room and board will cost $3 a day. We were for tunate in securing good but small room at reasonable rates and we take our meals at a restaurant. Our board, meals and all, cost us 75c per day apiece for the three of us. Two meals day is the GUS, tom here and we have very natur- ally into the habit. There are a great many visitors here from "the states" some sightseeing, some on business, others here for their health. A great many comsump- tives here, using burroughs milk :; they tell me it is very stregthen- ing. I wish you could see how they conduct their dairy business. It is what I would term grotesque. They drive a herd of these little burroughs around through the streets and milk them "any old place" aEd "any old time" Any one can buy the milk who cares to do so.
 Cows milk is carried around in small cans on horseback. The milk peddlers ride the horse and the cans are carried in parriards made of coarse cloth.

MUCH TOO SMALL.
Dallas, Texas, Incapable of Handling the Big Sol-
 dier's Reunion.
Many Of the Confederate Veterans Say They Will Not Attend
 Any More.

Senator J. E. Wood, who resides at Mariana, has just returned from the Confederate reunion at Dallas, Texas, and in discussing the affair had the following to say concerning the ability of the Texas city to entertain the old soldiers:
 "Ihe place is too small for the gathering. Dallas attempt to take care of a crowd estimated at 100000 is something like packing young society ladys wardrobe into six- bits telescope. The old rank and file are complaining terribly of their treatment, many going so far as to say it is the last reunion they will ever attend. There appears to be no order or system whatever. Every body seems to be out for the stuff, and that's all there is to it-$1 night for cots, 10 cents for half cup of poor coffee, and no water fit to drink can be secured. The hydrant water is too warm to drink, There are several odious features at the re- union. At the camp at the fair grounds there are no accommodations whatever, many of the old veterans actually wanting for food, and being compelled to sleep on the bare ground in the open. Thousands left the second day for home, making no very complimentary references to their treatment. One told me on the train that he had fought through the war from Little Bethel to Appomat- tox, and had never been kept from the grub table with Yankee bayonets before or received such shabby treat even in the darkest days of the Con- federacy. His allusion was to a company of State Guard employed at the camp to pthe crowd back from the tables. At the fair grounds was confusion worse confounded. The auditorium is two miles from the city headquarters, and the street car service between the points is miser- able. The auditorium is a badly constructed affair, and only a few immediately around the platform could hear word. Everything was horribly mismanaged. This is not a sorehead complaint, but true pie ture of the actual situation, although some of the gold-lac fellows about the hotels, who paid 80 day or more for what they got, may not have any grievance. Generals Balch and Green did all in their power to provide for the comfort of the Ar- kansas division, which seemed to be we'll taken care of. Why, horse for two hours use in the parade costs So. My idea for reunion is 10 grant special rates only to veterans and their families. This was not req union-it was tourist excursion and thousands of sightseers foo'S advan- tage of it to see Texas s word, it was more than Dallus handle.

ISLAND or CUBA.
A Correspondent Writes of Its Beauty, Quaint Cities,
 and Big Plantations.
Some Interesting Points About the People, the City of Havanna,
 and Its Characteristics.

The following letters from Jim Garter written from the Island of Cuba were furnished the Soliphone by Mrs. Wallace J. Brown, of Brookings. The letters were writ ten to a friend of Mrs. Browns at Brookings and are worth reading.
 FIRST LETTER.
 Havana, Cuba, Feb. 12, 1901.
 I presume before this you have given up all hopes of ever hearing from me again, but you are going to, and "here goes.
 I have been under some excite ment for the past month or more, and could not collect my thoughts sufficiently to pen them.
 Our journey across this little part of the "great waters" was rather rough. We had quite a gale one day which made the old ship rock considerable-but we are here, in Havana, safe and sound, so far. l shall not attempt to give a description of this won derful island, with her big family of smaller islands so near, but shall simply jot down 8 few of the things that struck me most forci- bly,.
 Cuba is wonderful island, and the waters as they dash and wash against her vultured coast seem evldencing their pride of so val uable treasure. The island, to me, seems one vast plantation with only a part under cultivation. Ravages of war have done much toward devastating the many love- ly and capacious gardens and 1t will take more time coupled with energy and ability to recover from the inroads made on field and home. Havana is an odd town, especially to one reared Tn "the states" From the sea the town presents a picture of won drous beauty, notwithstanding the tawdry, peculiar color of the houses. The background is a e'tame affair." but the lines of Notifications, the church towers, etc, relieve the otherwise grue- some aspect. The city seems to be divided into two rarts, probably on account of the wall that once existed around part of the city. These walls, l understand, were completed in 1884 and entirely de- molished in 1863.
 The city lying nearest the har- Dor has the narrowest streets any one could imagine consistent with wheel traffic. Most of the houses are of stone, which comes from Genoa. There are many native stone quarries which could be made to furnish all the marble needed, but they made little use ot their native advantages. The houses, built of solid stone, have fiat roofs, small deep windows, a court in center and no front lawns. Some of these courts are very inviting, with their flowers and shrubs arranged in artistic man. ner, and the splash and tinkle of the cooling fountain making music for the drowsy loungers.
 Outside these cool court retreats Havana is certainly city of smells and noises. They tell me sanitary

NOVEL SOCIAL
AT CENTRAL UNION

The Christian Endeayor Society of
Central Union Church gave an interest
ing social last evening in the chuI CHI par
Tors. There was a gratifying attendance
of young people, and the evening was
delightfully."- spent in literary "trip
around the world and In guessing the
names on cards attached to the back of
each ones collar or dress. AS each per-
son entered the parlorS member of the
social committee greeted him and then
pinned upon his back a card which bore
the name Of some person of renown. The
object was to have the wearer make in
quiries of everybody else which would
lead to his guessing it. The amusement
was novel and created much fun. The
wearer would exhibit his or her card to
a friend and then endeavor by diligent
inquiry to obtain a clew which would
lead to a successful guess. The persons
knowing the names would yield their
knowledge to the extent of almost graf
flying the wearer's curiosity and then
refuse further information.
The "trip around the world was also
fun-making novelty. Twenty-Five
sheets of paper were pinned upon The
walls, so as to make a complete circuit
of the main parlor. Upon each sheet
was a jumbled mass of capitals and
small letters, which, when properly ar
ranged. spelled the name of a city The
first one was numbered 81" the next "2,"
and so on. The globe-trotters were CIV
en- cards and pencils, placed before No
1, and told to arrange the letters to spell
out the name. The names began with
cities in the Hawaiian Islands, and
thence through Asia, Europe, Africa and
the United States. At the conclusion of
the name-guessing, lemonade and light
were served.

only couple Of miles from camp. one
of his snow shoes came loose and slid
down the steep hill side. Here the
tracks showed that he left the trail, and
about 700 ieet therefrom his body was
found, and IL il supposed he gave up to
the extreme cold all nj once.
The body was brought to Greenhorn

ir appears that perhaps one Of the
best methods for securing Ia the state of
Oregon crSiit for It's heavy output Of
mineral wealth, would be to have u
United States assay office established
within her borders. This means would
probably cause no friction between the
mining aud other interests. No matter
what calling u citizen of this great com
monwealth may pursue, he naturally
takes pride in establishment Of public
institutions in the state. A government
assay office is federal concern, the cost
of building aud maintai Iins il borne by
