and when that is done they have no notion
except to move on to the next place. Whlcn
may be 10000 miles away.
In a general way Mr. Van Horne IS foi-
lowing the policy which he applied to the
Canadian Pacific in colonizing the wheat
country. Sugar and fruits are MS cnler
hope, though he expects to develop the ca
pacities of Cuban farming in a dozen dif-
ferent directions In the first stages OF the
enterprise he brought experts from Hawaii
both to study the possibilities of sugar pro-
duction and to apply the latest improve
ments in the construction of centrales or
sugar mills. 1t is likely that within three
years the possibilities of the soil of eastern
Cuba for sugar production will receive
the benefit of a scientific test.
Much of the territory Is as Columbus saw
it, and never has been scratched even by
the wooden pillow. The plantations In the
western part of the island will have to
meet this competition. 1t Is commonly ac-
cepted that the western provinces have
richer soil than the east because the early
Spanish colonies settled there. but they also
have had centuries of cultivation and are
more or less exhausted.
A Railway Academy.
One Of the pet projects Of Mr.. Van Horne
Is to establish a practical railway academy
for the training of Cuban youths. This fills
him with enthusiasm as great as that which
he and Gen. Granville M. Dodge. the vet
eran railway builder Of the plains, develop
ed when they crossed Cuba behind a mule
team last year and told each other that they
were passing through the richest country
they ever had seen. The general scope of
this plan has been published. The shops OF
the Cuba company are to be located in the
city of Puerto Principe and the railway
academy is to have it's headquarters there.
The location of these railway shops Is a
shock to those who want to see the pic
turesque and medieval maintained. l have
indicated the expectations which are based
upon this opening of railway communica-
ton between Santiago and Havana. Some
of these expectations may come to naught.
Some of the enthusiasm may vanish, yet
there is solid ground and central and east
ern Cuba actually are entering on period
of development and colonization which only
could come through the building Of rail-
way lines.

Santa Claus. I told him 1 was going down

facts about Santa Claus, SO he suggested
that carry out my plans. 1 did so. and

About daybreak I noiselessly went down
