TEN MILLIONS TO
CLEAN UP HAVANA
TO BUILD NEW WATER AND
SEWAGE SYSTEMS
Governor MagOon's Plans Call for
Expenditure of Big Sum and VIII
BE Approved by Secretary Taft
Secretary Root Has Already Con-
CURED In Plans and President
Roosevelt Has Expressed His Hear
ty Approval.

Washington, Feb. 19.-Plans fol-
the expenditure Of nearly 100000
900 in improving the sanitary condl-
tions of Havana, including the con-
struction Of complete water and
sewer system, have been outlined by
Governor Magoon and will almost
certainly receive the final approval
OF Secretary Taft upon his return to
Washington tomorrow. The plans
have the concurrence of Secretary
Root and the cordial approval OF
President Roosevelt. The contract
for the construction Of the water and
sewer system was originally awarded
by Governor General Wood to Nc
Gibney & Rokeby, and this, with
Secretary Taft's approval, must be
carried out.
Work under this contract Will be-
gin at once. II is to be completed
within four years, so that one fourth
can be accomplished before the pres
ent American occupation OF Cuba
terminates. 1t is probable that the
vide the cost with the municipality,
and the former will exercise super
visory and administrative control. In
reaching this decision Secretary Taft
was largely influenced by the secre-
tary of state. who firmly adheres to
the argument, repeatedly submitted
to the Palma administration, that un-
der the terms OF the Plat amendment
Cuba is bound to take this precaution
against unsanitary conditions In her
chief city.
Secretary Taft also decided the 9TH
er three cases brought to his atten-
ton by Governor Magoon, and I'm
each instance the decision OF the sec
retary was approved by the president
In line with the decision on the Nc
Gibney & Rokeby contract is that on
the Reilly contract, which provides
for the construction Of a sewer and
water system in the city of Cienfugos.
the second largest city In Cuba. The
illegal features OF the contract are to
be eliminated. The contractors have
consented to the necessary modifica-
ton and the work will now proceed
uninterruptedly.
The most difficult case submitted
to Secretary Taft was that Of the Ma
riano Telephone company, which had
acquired a concession In Mariana. a
suburb OF Havana, and had sought
under a technicality OF the Cuban
law to include In Its territory the city
OF Havana. The Cuban courts had
twice decided against the claims of
the company. but II asked some relief
In the form of national telephone
law, Secretary Taft decided that the
company had no right TO construct
Its lines In Havana, but further ruled
that an open competition should he
conducted at which all should enjoy
an equal opportunity to bid for a
concession to operate system in Ha-
vana.
The fourth case submitted to the
Secretary, the fifty-year concession
granted to Scoved & Co. to construct
and operate a pier in the harbor of
Havana, was quickly disposed Of. The
concession is to be cancelled and the |
company compensated for the work
II has already done.

UNwATERING THE RED BOY.

Machinery Pumping 10000 Gallons
Excry "a Hours From the Gold
Mine.
AT noon Saturday last, the pumps
were started in the BED Boy shaft
and at this time has the water pour
ing out OF the mine at the rate of
100000 gallons every "a hours, which
represents the capacity of the ma
chinery. At this rate 1t is expected
by the management to have the lower
level of the property cleared of wa
ter In about 80 days, says the Baker
City Democrat.
The unwatering Of the once famous
Red BOY mine is an important event
in mining in eastern Oregon. For
many years the Red Boy was one OF
the largest gold producing properties
in Oregon and is very likely to occupy
leading place again.

In close proximity to Ginter Park
are two Of tho best known country

Club Is known throughout the United
States as among the Oldest Of the fox

Since the earliest days Of the settle

played conspicuous part in the amuse-

jamestown was settled. I'M 1907, band
OF adventurous gentlemen sailed up the
river to a point which is now Rockets.
and shortly thereafter established a
fort which was called Henricas, after
which the county Of Henrlco takes Its
name.

themselves and their friends. and one.
could practically hunt every day IN
the season by riding from one country
house to another.
After the war, however. the poverty
of the South was such that these packs
were given up. but still here and there
hounds were maintained, the love Of
sport being as strong as in bygone
| days.
It was In 1899 that party Of gem
tlemen met at Rueger's Hotel, In Rich

as thu Deep Run Hunt Club. Tn that
party were: Mr.. S. Fl. Hancock, Mr..

were not trying to boom dead town.
We realized that Ginter Park would
boom itself because OF its fine and

told the truth. The other fact is that
Ginter Park sung its own praises.
