United States grand jury in its report.
after the tell-tale vouchers had been re-

search Of Oregon desiccated soup
vegetables, He was unable to find any,

he had been there. When told that even
II this was so, there was no use for such

had become accustomed to the dried
vegetables and liked them better than
the fresh ones, because they afforded a
fine variety of seven different kinds and

finally found man who had heard OF
the disintegrated, desiccated vegetables
he was searching for. and said they were
put up for shipment to Alaska by man

LIKE THE ISLE OF PINES.
Many IOwans Own Land and Have
Settled There and Hope to

Iowa people are more interested in
the pending treaty to cede to the repub-

Several colonies Of Iowa people have
already been planted in the island. and
it is expected that IL the island remains

linquish to Cuba all sovereignty over the
island is therefore of great interest IL
that state.
The settlers on the Isle OF Pines from
Iowa are from Spencer, Fairfield, OF
tumwa, Creston and elsewhere. A year
ago it was reported that there were AZ
families of Iowans, in all about $50 per.
sons from that state. Since then many
other families have settled on the island
and there are probably 200 Iowa people
there. In February last there was or
ganized at Fairfield company In which
