Contractor Toohey is About Through
 With His Part of the Work
 Bridges Nearly all Completed
 The work on the Tombstone exten- sion of the Fl Paso and Southwestern from Fairbank is progressing most rapidly. Over three-fourths of the grade work has been done and only we or two heavy cuts remain to be : The bridge gang has complet- C. all of the bridges from Fairbank up to the big wash about three miles from town and will have only one or two small ones to erect before com pleting the work
 Contractor Toohey has about com. pleted his part of the work between the lower part of town and the old race track, where he has made connec- tons with the grading being done by Ormand & Crook. He has a few men left working around the foot of Com stock Hill and a few teams at work on the grade across Allen and Toughnut streets below First, but the most of his men with the scrapers, blows, etc, were moved yesterday to a camp on the other side of Contention hill where they will commence work in the morning on the grades that will run up to the big shaft. He expects to have his whole force at work there in less than a week and that the work will be completed within thirty days. At the other camps along the road, but a few weeks more will see the work completed. At the big cut near Walnut Gulch a big force of men are at work and are making considerable headway although every foot of 1t has to be blasted.
 From a reliable source 1t is learned that the construction train will be put on by the middle of Ocober and the iron horse pufiing into the city limits before Thanksgiving day.

PRESIDENT OF CUBA
Importance Of Friendly Relations
With the United States.
WORDS FROM PALMA
Only Way for Cuba to Escape the
Absolute Ruin of Two Basic
rs. Industries.

New York, Jan. Upon the eve of the
Cuban elections, which occur to-day, a
representative Of the Tribune visited Gen
eral Thomas Estrade Palma at his home
at Center Valley, N. Y. The nominee for
president of Cuba said:
am entirely content with my present life
have lived here with my family for eighteen
years and am entirely satisfied with my pres
ent condition. l am not seeking honors
have given more than thirty years of my life
to the cause of my country, and will always
be ready to help in it's bettern1ent, but po-
litlcal strife is out Of my sphere.
The principal object Of the Cuban republic
should be, first of all, to secure the most
friendly relations with the American people,
who helped US in our hour Of need. We will
always bear in mind the work of the United
States, in helping us to obtain our independ-
ence from Spanish rule, and at the same time
we should try to secure from the Washington
government all the advantages possible for
our products by reasonable reductions of the
import duties, especially on sugar and to-
bacco, as this is the only way for Cuba to
escape the absolute ruin Of these two indus
tries, which are the only bases of Cuba's
actual wealth. Without this benefit the Gu
ban people will find themselves in great dis
tress and subject to disturbances from lack
of employment. Without this benefit, all the
sacrifices Of the Oubans for their freedom will
be at naught, for in starving condition they
cannot enjoy their Independence. am con-
vinced that the people of the United States
know very we'll that it is to their own inter-
est that Cuba be in a prosperous condition

Advantages of Flax Raising is Ex-

hoisture-Price Always Good.

For sometime past the Signal has
noticed the increasing acreage of flax
being raised in northern Idaho, and
noted the satisfaction felt over the
quick and profitable returns that are
being realized. Therefore it was
with no small degree of pleasure that
while talking yesterday with A. P.
Trawick, of the Leader store, we found
that he is an enthusiast on flax rails
ing for this county Before locating
at Weiser, Mr.. Trawick resided in a
Dakota community where flax raising
is in high favor, and as he was on a
farm he gained an experience there
that entities his words to proper
weight. He said:
"When | moved to this place last
year | was satisfied that soil and eli
matte conditions were favorable for
lax growing but to satisfy myself |

prised at the splendid results. Though

or rainfall; it filed we'll and pro-
duced at the rate of perhaps 20
bushels to the acre.

to mature from time Of sowing.

vested in June. In this country
where volunteer crops invariably fol-
low the regular crop for one or more
seasons it is possible that the same
rule might apply to fax.
"'The yield in Dakota runs from
10 to 30 bushels per acre. Year be-
fore last when wheat was total

bushels. Last year yields as high
as 80 bushels were obtained The

"The advantage of flax growing
s that it natures 50 quickly and re-
lulres so little moisture. The usual
moist condition of the sage brush land
n the spring is sufficient to guarantee

cultivate larger area of ground as
he can sow wheat until it is too late
