Yakima boys feel at home. But, alas,
when it comes to extracting favors from
Yakima, even when her guest, it is
then the yellow streak is found in her
makeup.
Former citizens of Yakima are loud
in their denunciation of this hoggish
disposition OF Yakima and her people
and they do not hesitate to say that
Ellensburg was made the target by
those people, while we had just and
perfect right to expect, not favors,
but simple justice.
We very much regret that things
have terminated so, but as it is, the
slap has been of such force that our
people now understand that they have

that he has been mistreated, and not
only mistreated, but insulted, and TAX

Playing It Low Down.

One of the Yakima papers recently
made the statement that there were q
good many hogs in North Yakima, and
if reports are true, we are very much
inclined to believe the statement true.
Kittitas county sent down to the state
fair good delegation and everyone
that has so far reported say they were
hogged from start to finish. The
hotels taxed them 81 for the privilege
of'laying down on the floor at night in
the sample rooms, while 30 cents was
the price charged for meals that could
he had anywhere else for % cents.
Crafts of all kinds were worked and
this even extended to gate fees on the
fair ground. The latter might possibly
be mistake and we are inclined to be-

The county and state levy is thus re-
duced 2.6 mills under last years levy,
and the total reduction in Ellensburg
amounts to ) LILO mills.
This reduction is caused by the
enormous collection OF taxes made by
Treasurer Purdin and taxpayers will
readily see that even though the work
in his Office has been multiplied the
levy of taxes has greatly decreased. In
addition to this $53, 900 of bonds were
retired on March LIST, this year, and
Treasurer Purdin informs US he will
have funds to retire So, 900 more on
March lst next, which will wipe out
entirely the old 1892 series of bonds
amounting to $4,000 and leaves net
Indebtedness OF about 500, 900 on which
we have no option till March, 1915.

S. S. Convention.

The Sunday school convention, which
was held in the Presbyterian church,
Monday, was called to order by the
Rev. w. f. Pettibone at . p. m.
Rev. Merritt and Mrs. Bryner were
unavodably delayed by the train being
late, so the convention assembled con-
cluded to spend the time in song, praise
and short addresses.
Rev. Johns spoke on the value of
early training in the home, Sabbath
school and church.
Rev. Lockwood spoke on the lacks Of
church and Sabbath school, including
teacher and scholar. The speaker also
alluded to the sad mistake OF crowding
out the Bible from our public schools
and the great lack of moral training as
a result.
Mrs. VIM. Park spoke very complain
ingly Of the falling of of Bible knowl-
edge among the young in attendance at
our Sabbath schools.

progressed but slowly. Her ports were
closed to the commerce of all the world save
Spain, and it was not until after circum-
stances which Spain had opposed for years
but which finally overcame her, that the
Cuban planters began to really realize the
narrowness OF Spanish rule. The change
that began to be apparent in the colonial
policies OF other European nations early in
the last century ives not shared by Spain,
who but attempted to draw the lines
tighter.
This fact is evidenced by the issuance of
the royal decree Of May Is, 1925, defining the
functions of the captain generals Of Cuba,
decree which invested them with prac-
tically the powers Of oriental despots, and
this decree remained In force until Spain
had been driven from the island.
Even before the issuing of this decree
had come the first attempt to break the rule
of Spain. Secret political societies had be-
gun organizing as early as 1920 under the
name Of "Soles de Bolivar" and in 1923
these societies made an attempt at open re-
volt. But the attempt was fruitless of re-
suits other than the arrest and punishment
of the leaders.
The next revolution came in 1926, and was
planned by Cuban refugees in Mexico and
Colombia. The scheme included the lead.
ership of the great liberator, Simon Bolivar,
but it resulted in nothing tangible through
lack of adequate support. The same lead
ers attempted to organize another campaign
for the freeing of Cuba during the years 1927
20, this time including among their support
ers many persons in the United States, but
this plan was frustrated through the influ-
ence of the slave interests in both this coun-
try and Mexico.
Another revolution came In 1884 in which
the principals were the slaves on the sugar
plantations about Mantanzas. With Ss--s
difficulty Spain ss~< -essed this revolt, and
punished in various ways l,S46 of those con-
: victed of participating in it, but the seed of
liberty then planted resulted in lateryears

years war, and again those who led to ulti-
mate victory the forces Of Cuba in the last

Mia; the dispatch of troops to Santiago; our
naval victory of that harbor; the fall OF the
city; the capture of Porto Rico, and Spain'a
cry for peace at almost any price, all thess
incidents need but mention to recall them
to the minds of the people of this country.
History was never made more rapidly than
it was made during that summer, and it was
history of which the country and the world
may we'll be proud in after years.
With the sword we drove Spain out Of
Cuba, our soldiers and sailors reaped won
derful victories in rapid succession, but
Spain left behind her harder struggle than
her armies or her fleets had given us-it was
with dirt and disease.
How we'll Gov. Gen. Wood has conquered
this foe 10 evidenced from the health reports
from Cuba. First at Santiago, and later
throughout all the island he has persistently
fought the battle forsclean cities and good
sanitation until todd Havana, instead Of
being the breeding grSpnd of all the various
types Of malignant fsger, Is considered a.
healthful as almost any city in the United
States. He has taught to the Cubans the ne.
cessity of cleanliness, . lesson they are NOT
likely to soon forget.
He has. done more, than this. He has
opened the public schools, and has so ex'
tended the system that practically all the
children of school age have now offered
them the advantages Of an education, and has
instilled in the hearts Of the people desire
for learning, q desire which their own gov
eminent will now be in . position to fulfill.
Gen. Wood, as the representative OF the
American people, has builded government
of the people, for the people and by the
people Of Cuba into whose hands our eoun-
try can now safely place the reigns Of con-
tRol, and Gen. WOODY psms must be added

wrongs, and forcing from the mother coun-
try a more liberal form of government.
Englands colonies had thrown of the yoke
of oppression, and the seed Of freedom that
had sprouted on the mainland had been car
ried to the island. A grievance that brought
with it armed resistance came in 1895 when
Spain withdrew the ship building yards
from Havana to reestablish them at her
home ports. The industry had existed in
the island from l726, and the closing of them
was bitterly resented. But Cuba at that
time demanded only her rights as loyal
colony, and not the absolute freedom for
which she has since fought.
During her earlier history the develop
ment of Cuba's great agricultural resources

still Of considerable importance, and may Be
expected to assume even greater Importance
in the industrial development Of the island
under the new regime. In the eastern end OF
the island there are now large number OF
beautiful banana plantations high up the
mountains that supply to the American mar
kets the best OF this class Of fruit that is sold
in this country. Oranges and pineapples OF
unusual size and favor are also grown
throughout the island.
But Cuba possesses more than agricultural
wealth. Her forests supply mahogany, log.
wood and fustic in some quantities, though
the supply is limited, and great source OF
wealth is in her, a. yet, almost undeveloped
mines. Iron, manganese, copper and salt
are all mined in paying quantities, though
on comparatively small scale. OF them all

iron mines are located few miles east OF
Santiago, and, while they have not a. yet
been worked to any large extent, the Amer.
lean company which controls them have en-
pended large sums in preparatory develop.
ment. That these iron mines will become OF
considerable importance in the develop
ment Of the island cannot be doubted.
With such resources to draw upon Cuba,
under progressive and enlightened govern
ment that will encourage rather than an
tagonize development, should soon take .
leading place among the smaller commercial
nations Of the world.

pose Spain. 1t was he who virtually wrote
the first Cuban constitution which was
promulgated at Guaimaro on April 10, 1869.
For the first two years of the war success
attended almost every effort OF the Cuban
army, which increased rapidly until it had
reached the numbers of $4,000 men, but the
ability of Spain to furnish war materials
and fresh troops was greater than that OF
the insurgents, and the rank and file OF the
Cuban army began finally to tire OF the
struggle. From lS73until February, 1878, the
war dragged along in desultory way, and
finally ended with the peace of San Antonio
which guaranteed pardon to all who had
taken part in the conflict, and representa-
ton for Cuba in the Spanish cortes.
1t was during this war, in 1873, that there
occurred the incident OF the steamer Vir-
ginius which came so near resulting in war
between Spain and the United States, and
which did result in some pointed CORE.
spondence between officials Of the two coun-
tries, and the execution as pirates at San
tiago of SO persons.
The incidents OF the last revolution that
started in 1894 and led to American inter-
vention for the paciication and liberation
of the island are too we'll known to need
any recounting here. The leaders who
hocked to the Cuban standard were men
who had fought for Cuban freedom from
lS6S-7s. Jose Marti started from New York
in February. 1895, Gomez, Antonio and Jose

Guerra and q score of others gathered again

ton until he was inally captured by the
Spanish authorities on Cuban soil and exc
cuted in 1851.
In 1854 came both the attempt OF Gen.
Quitman, OF Mississippi, for the invasion Of
Cuba, which resulted disasterously to the
leaders, they being captured and executed,
and the Ostend Manifesto which recon-
mended the purchase OF Cuba for Sl20, OOO,-
0OO But this, like the previous attempt at
purchase, came to naught, and the island
was left to drag along in comparative peace
until the breaking out Of the ten years
war" in 1865.
It was this long struggle that brought to
the fore such men as Gomez, Garcia, Palma
and many Others destined to live in the his
tory OF the new republic as the names OF
Washington, Lee, Putnam and score OF
others live in our own history. They are the
grandest names Cubans will ever know;
true patriots, who yet live to guide the young
republic through its first troubled waters
with the same courageous hands that taught
the Cuban soldiers to match Cuban strategy
and daring against the heavier forces OF
Spain. To this list must be added that OF
Maceo and the others who sacrificed their
lives in the last struggle for Cuban freedom,
but demanded of Spain dear price for the
sacrifice.
The story of the "ten years war" Is q
story of ten years of hardships and sacrifice.
1t brought with It the first declaration Of
Cuban independence, signed on October 10,
1868, and also the first election of Cuban
officers including president and vice presi'
dent and the appointment of cabinet Of
fcers.
1t was Carlos NJ. de Cespedes, at the head
of l2S alarmed men, who started this CON.
hict, and who issued the proclamation OF
Cuban independence at Yara. Cespedes was
a lawyer of Bayamo at the beginning of the
war, but he was natural leader Of men,
and soon had $1,000 men with which to op.

tually no resistance from the natives save
from one chief, Hatuey, a refugee from His
PAMELA, or Hayti as now called, where ne
had witnessed the barbarities of the new
eomers and resented their invasion OF his
new home, as he, unlike the others, knew
from terrible experience what such COM
ing meant to the native people. But Hatuey
like many others who came after him in
later years, was unsuccessful in opposing the
will Of the Dons, and paid for his desire for
freedom with his life, being burned at the
stake as fugitive slave.
Spanish oppression and Spanish crus fy
reigned in Cuba from that day until in tie
summer of 1893, when, with the assistants
of the United States, the patriots banished
their oppressors from the island forever.
Almost from the day of the Spaniards'
FIRST landing in Cuba until the signing of the
peace protocol that put stop to the war
of 1898 the Dons had found it necessary to
meet opposition to their reign by the use
of armed force. This opposition was not at
all times of sufficient vigor to be dignified
BY the name of revolution, but it was con-
slant. For many years it was more Of q
sea fight than q land fight and was carried
ON by the buccaneers whose object was to
