The hearings before the Ways and
Means Committee have brought out the
fact that a good many Of the present
schedules are indefensibIe and that re-
auctions would not do damage. In the
case of coal, the coal men themselves
admitted before the Ways and Means
Committee that the issue with them
was chiefly one Of freight rates. and
that II they could get a reciprocal ar
rGngement with Canada, 50 as to have
enough differential to equalize freight
rates they would not object to the duty
being materially lowered. Canada coal
might capture New Englands market.
but American coal would dominate the
eastern half Of Canada, from Montreal
westward. American coal men want
the Ontario market, and ll.ow they
can control it under the proper tariff

HARD GOING IN CUBA.
But Packard Thirty Gets Through in
Good Shape

Hundreds of miles Travelled in interior
Cuba. where no four-wheeled vehicle OF
any kind had been before. was the recent
automobiling feat of S. d. Walden and
party in a Packard Thirty.
Interior Cuba is without roads Horse
trails lead from one place to another.
The only vehicles are the high-wheeled
OK carts drawn by three or more yokes
of oxen. Their wheels are from seven 10
ten feet high and cut the soft ground into
many wide. ragged ruts two to four feet
deep. Where the ground is hard 1t is
Uttered with immense boulders or else
itself is the base rock Of the island.
Every day from three to ten rivers
were forded and each ford meant pre-
carious journey over the solid but uneven
rock of the river bottom. During the
latter days of the journey the heavy
rains of a delayed wet season turned the
red clay into a trail Of sticky. heavy
seemingly bottomless mud hole.
thirty to forty miles. one day sixty-three
and then one-hard-fought days journey
OF fourteen miles. Each night the party ac-
cepted the accommodations at hand when
darkness came. The first night out a
camp was made at the bottom Of a deep
valley. Succeeding nights were spent on
cots or in hanmocks in farmers huts
One night the tourists bunked on the
table of a sugar mill eating house, while
the most unique experience was a night
in hammocks swung under the thatched
roof Of a commodious pig pen.
The car was without special equipment
except the AK. mattock and shovel pur-
chased en- route.
