IN COWBOY LAND.
Growing Cities Where Bat . DOzen
Years Ago Was Only Un-
broken Lahd.

When a handful of settlers tfekked
into Oklahoma dozen years ago and
induced Indians to lease them small
tracts, they placed faith in the black,
loamy soil and the bright, sunny skies.
After gaining possession of the coun-
try, Nature was kind to the settlers and
has been responsible to large degree
in the crowning of their efforts, writes
William r. Draper, IN Four-Track
News.
Year after year passed, and the crops
have increased in size. The cereals have
burst through the ground, not to be
burned by drouth, but to yield in
abundance. Well-f1lled granaries, and
highly improved farms attest the pros
porous condition of the farming class,
while the towns are alive with energy
and business. New houses are con-
Btantly going up in the villages. while
the cities of the territory are acquiring
tall and imposing Office buildings and
improvements of the east.

''The Isle of Pines shall be omitted
from the properly constituted bound
aries of Cuba. tho title thereto being
left to future adjustment by treaty.
Leading statesmen in Cuba have all
along taken the view that the de facto
government OF the Isle of Pines is only
temporary, and that until its national
ity is determined it should pay taxes
to Cuba, as a part of the Province of
Havana. The determination of Cuba to
tax the Inhabitants of the Isle Of Pines
brought the situation to crisis. The
800 Americans who live on the island
became defiant. They went to the Al
cade, Or Mayor, Of the principal city,
and said they would use force If neces-
sary to prevent a tax levy by Cuba.
They insisted that the country should
belong to the United States. and as
soon as the American flag foatcd over
them they would pay their taxes to
Uncle Sam, but never to any one else.
The St. Mary banner. (Franklin, Parish of St. Mary, La.) 1889-1931, 1903-07-18

In its independence from govern.
mental control, the Isle of Pines has
simply been true to its traditions. For
more than two centuries after COlunl-
bus discovered it this piece of the world
was the home Of fleets of pirates, who
prcyed ON the commerce of the Attain
tic as far north as the CarOlinas ard
to the southwark as far as Rio JaneirO.
The island was peculiarly adapted by
nature as haven for the buccaneer,
and some Cubans say that even at the
present time, should this island come
into the possession of a foreign power,
it would become a strategic base of op-
erations for smugglers.
A line of reefs encircles the island
for the most part, and between It and
Cuba lies chain of little isles, called
the Isles de AIangles. The principal
port On its northern shore is Nueva
Corona, short distance up the Rio de
Ccrro. Should person in Havana
wish to visit the Isle of Pines, he would
cross Cuba by rail, by journey of
thirty miles to Batabano, and take a
steamer from there for Nueva Corona.
Though the entire distance would be
only ninety miles, nevertheless, under
present conditions, it would take the
traveller a whole day.
Were 1t not for long, projecting

OF Pines, reports that the American
residents there are clamoring for Amer
lean sovereignty. and say that they
have made extensive purchases of land
with the understanding that the Stars
and Stripes were to float over their
houses. The Pine Islanders can appeal
to Congress for relief from the ruling
OF the Secretary of War.
About the size of the State of Rhode
Island, and situated sixty miles south
OF the western end Of Cuba, the Isle of
Pines would prove valuable accession
to any country interested in South
American affairs. In the same longi-
tude as Tampa, Fla, and the same lati-
tude as Yucatan, Mexico, the bit of
land is regarded as a strategic key to
the Caribbean Sea and the Yucatan
Channel, which connects this sea with
The St. Mary banner. (Franklin, Parish of St. Mary, La.) 1889-1931, 1903-07-18

the Gulf of Mexico. Attention to the
island as military base has recently
been still more strongly focused by
the Venezuelan imbroglio.
The circumstances which orphaned
the Isle Of Pines grew out Of the recent
