OUR TROPICAL TRADE
IMMENSE BUSINESS POSSIBILITIES
ARE OPENED UP.
Gen. james II. Wilson Has Well Described
the Benefits Which Are Within Our
Keach-IsIand of Cuba IL the Most
FFonisinE Field.

Gen. James H. Wilson in an al-
dress on Our Trade Relations With
the Tropics" recently delivered at
Boston. gives an exhaustive review OF
the future possibilities in our dealings
with Cuba. Porto Rico. and other
tropical countries. He favors an Am
erican Customs Union with all the
countries south of us. beginning with
Cuba. and as the benefits are received
and felt in our enlarged commerce, ex-
tending the Union to other nations
He considers Cuba the mogt valuable

forest. These vast forests consist OF
mahogany and other hard woods. all
valuable for manufactures, cabinet
work and shipbuilding. The fruits OF
Cuba are manifold. and have been arti-
cles of staple consumption in the
United States for generations. The
attitudes of Cuba vary. one elevation
being $50 feet above the sea. These
high ranges make the interior of Cuba
balmy. or to quote Gen. Wilson's
words. 'It is. indeed. one of the most
beautiful. healthful. and inviting is-
lands under the sun; and while 1t lies
just within the tropics. it can hardly
be called tropical its climate is every
where mitigated by the trade winds
and the balmy air of the surrounding
seas" Since the Spanish authority
over the island ceased, sanitary condi-
tons have been enforced, and the yell
low fever has disappeared.
Cuba Rich In Natural Resources
Gen. Wilson regards Cuba as q
promising field. provided the United
States will enter into reciprocal trade
relations with 1t. as the island cannot
be annexed because of the joint reso-
luton of congress. AS annexation is
out OF the question for the present
and until the Cubans so desire. volun-
tarily-other arrangements for mutual
prosperous trade must be made. He
regards Porto Rico as a limited field
for American enterprise and emlgra
ton. The population is dense and tho
land almost entirely occupied. AS to
Cuba. millions of its acres are un-
touched, its annual sugar capacity Is
about 100000 tons, its tobacco is the
best In the world for cigars. coffee
grows nearly everywhere in the is
land. and its pastures and grass lands
will easily support several million
head of cattle. or as many as Iowa and
Texas. Minerals, such as iron and
copper. are plenty. AS the general
says, THE island is natural garden
The climate and temperature Of Cuba
and Porto Rico are at all times better
and more equable than in any of our
states in the Mississippi Valley south
of the Ohio and Missouri rivers" AS
to the population, the whites outnum-
ber the colored two to one, while in
the Philippines there is one white to
fifty OF the colored races.

Senator Nellie Returns, A Hero

Councilman Me Hie has re- turned to town since our last issue, and he returned full fiedged hero. He and Fire Commissioner, Pete Cashman, undertook perilous journey into the distant and unex- plored regions of Alaska. They successfully crossed the Tonsina bridge, and a native ferried them over the raging Copper. They manfully pushed on, having noth- ing 10 eat but grub. Arriving at the Kuskalina Pete was about to wade across on horseback when the horse became unmanageable and threw him. Pete got tangled up inthe horses legs and had quite a struggle along the bottom of the stream. Here is where Jim showed his pluck. Throwing off his coat and necktie and rolling up his sleeves, he reached out, caught the horse, and in less than half an hour had Pete ashore. The next day, while Jim was out picking berries, Pete made what he called hap-jacks. Jim returned and mis- taking them for toadstools, threw them into the stream, thus saving Pete's life again. To wind up the list of heroic deeds Jim saved his own life three times by not going any further. The telephone is still working.

 All the indians were gathered at their various camps, getting ready for the salmon that are commence ing to run.
 We reached the Center at 7:4O and stopped two hours for dinner on the way so made good time. That night we stopped at Hotel Holman, where Tenas Rosey pre- sides over the good things in the commissary department. Left the next morning for Tazlina and ar rived there in about two and a half hours and then spent as much time in trying to persuade Jake's horse that he ought to get on the ferry boat. Finally we gave up in dispair and made him swim. That ferry deserves line. It is built on the catamarin style, decked over with logs with railing around, and the stering wheel toward. It Is an imposing sight to see Bundy at the wheel, with a cayuase on the quarter deck calmnly riding the roaring waves of the Tazlina. We left Tazlioa next morning, taking the old Copper river trail, which is good, except that some of the grades are rather steep. Just before we reached the Golkonda, We got into deep gulch where the trail ran almost straight mp for 75 feet. Bells mare couldent make it for when she got nearly to the top, she fell and rolled to the bot tom, and we had to chop out q number of trees before We could get her right side up. Then we had to pack all the stuff on our backs up the hill. As We did this in the rain that was coming down in tor rents, we told each other that home was never like this. That night We camped at the government ford and crossed without any trouble and also the Gakona. The next twelve miles is the toughest, wetest trail 1 ever saw in Alaska. Not enough water for boating, but splendid wading. We met shelly and Cobb's mule trains at the Tolsona. but as they were just packing up it was a case of hello everybody.n All the animals look fine and the boys are all as jolly as ever.
 We soon left the government trail for good and struck out on the mail trail for Fish's cabin, where we took dinner the next day, making 15 miles that afternoon to the next feed, where Crittenden, the Chesna mail contractor, has a tent. The mosquitos are worse.
 We reached Hazlett & Meals camp the next day and the day following arrived at our desti, a tion, and Jake delivered the hy- draulic outfit to Vim. Finnical on the Jack pot" understand that claim is going to be a good paying piece Of property this year.
