1t is most surprising what jump
valley real estate has taken in the
past three or four years. In many
cases it has doubled in price. AL
though the attention which the
San Luis valley has received from
eastern investors has been largely
due to the valley promoters, yet
its most substantial advertising
has been made by its wonderful
crop yields and the heavy profits
gained in the hog and sheep in
dustries. The San Luis valley,
appropriately spoken of as "the

INCIDENTS IN CUBA.
]. A. Krentzlin Of This City Writes Of
Events in Island,

CVSAIo Al AS4dAu
J. A. Krentzlin of this city has been sta
toned at the United States naval station
near Guantanamo. Cuba. for more than six
months and has written Of many incidents
Of life on the island in letters to members
Of his family. Mr.. Krentxlin is the son OF
Mr.. ]. A. KrentzHn of the sixth auditors Of
fee. Treasury Department.
One of the most interesting stories in a
recent letter was the description Of a long
ride on horseback through the country d.
rectly back from the naval station on the
coast. The trip was taken on Labor day,
Mr. Krentzlin. with two companions. riding
more than forty miles through stretching
fields Of sugar cane and corn. The little
villages of st. Cecilia, Santa Marie, Espa-
ranzo and Confluence were visited. and at
Guantanamo the tourists were In time to
see the native Cubans play a game OF base
ball.
They play the game WELL" the writer
said because 1t offers them many op-
portunities for artistic posing and they
have certainly inherited enough Of the love
Of the spectacular from the Spanish"
MI krentzlin stated that the country sur
rounding the naval station Is In direct con-
trast to the station itself. which he de-
scribed as being all white coral, glazing and
hot, almost without vegetation over all OF
its area OF forty square miles.
1t would seem that even in far-off Cuba
the servant problem Is still as far from an
answer as 1t is here Mr.. Krentzlln told
in another letter of an amusing incident In
which a colored mess boy was caught in
the act of stealing and he was compelled to
divulge the hiding place of other plumber
by the water cure" This consisted in ty-
Ing the thief securely with rope, dumping
him overheard into the ocean and hauling
him back to land again. and repeating the
operation many times as may be neces-
sary to induce truth telling.
On a recent Sunday Mr.. Krentzlin and
four OF his friends sailed to an island in
the bay off Guantanamo and there explored
an old Spanish fort. which was reduced by
Uncle Sans ships in the late war. One OF
the attractions Of the old fort. he said, was
an ancient dungeon evidently used in years
past for confinement of prisoners.

opinion, the door has already been slammed
In our face One result of the Russo-Jap-
anese war was to impress the occidental
mind with an exaggerated sense OF the
power and policy of Japan. Great Britain
manifested an almost unseemly haste TO
negotiate with the victor the famous treaty
which in effect amounts to a mutual guar
anty of British and Japanese aims in the
orient
France has entered into similar con-
vention, and latterly Russia also. The ef-
feet of these treaties Is to give increased
sanction to the old doctrine of spheres Of
influence. and enormously to narrow the
possibility of competition in oriental trade
by countries not parties to this arrange
ment. Meantime the hand of Japan Is left
free for the immediate realization Of a ire
mendous number OF opportunities not i'm
periled by the treaties and for the perfect
ton Of her plans. as sincerely believe, for
ultimately entering upon the rich feds
which these treaties Will meantime have
preserved for her.
The Japanese Policy.
This trenches upon the larger question
of Japanese policy in the orient, as to which
had considerable opportunity of informa-
ton. about which / have formed some rath-
er definite views, but as to which l cannot
hope to be at all exhaustive within the
limits of an interview.
NO useful view of the far eastern ques-
ton can be taken by any man who fails to
look at 1t primarily from the Japanese
standpoint. We must remember that Japan,
with an area about equal to the state OF
Montana, has a population OF some fifty
millions, that she ID under an economic i'm
puIsion to expand her territory for the pur-
pose of finding living room for her people
and of widening her area Of control 30 as
to obtain both raw materials for her indus
tries and wider markets for her products
Japan Is bent upon becoming a manufac-
turing nation She Is very limited IN the
supply OF raw materials.
For example. 1 visited in Osaka a brush
factory, employing some $50 hands, whose
principal output is tooth brushes, and /
found that the bones of which the handles
are made are imported from Kansas City,
Chicago and Omaha; that the bristles come
from north China and that the product Is
almost wholly sold in the New York mar
ket after paying duty Of IS per cent and
the double freightage on raw material and
finished product.
IL saw large cotton mills working upon
Chinese cotton. i saw great wooden mills
manufacturing Chinese wool. Almost the
entire output of these wooden and cotton
mills Is disposed of in the constantly widen
ing markets OF the celestial empire. From
the standpoint of Japanese national adj
vantage. may easily be seen, Japan abb
solutely must, If she can control and lead
the economic and the attendant political
changes that are bound to take place in
China.
