Cuba. May -(Speeial)-On of the biggest deals ever made in the vegeta- ble line was put through last Saturday when Harman & Evans. Illinois parties, contracted with T. P. Tate, manager of the Vegetable Growers association. for all of his potatoes and cabbage. IL represents about 90 per cent of the stuff produced here and the price contracted means that the growers are assured of good profit, and it means to the Bank of Cuba an increase of about $40 900 in deposits within the next six weeks. The bank reference furnished by the Illinois people has been found to be o. K, the bank there wiring here that they were morally and financially responsible and all drafts accompanied by the customary bills of lading would be honored.
 Shipments on this deal will begin to- morrow when a car or two of cabbage will go out and which will be followed up from day to day. The growers have until well up in June to dig their po- tatoes, so none will likely be harvested until about the last of this month. Mr. Tate is being warmly commended for his success in attracting these parties here and putting through this deal. A few green beans will move tomorrow but no solid cars until the last of the week or possibly the first of next week.

Briscoe of Jacksonville, whose forceful discussion was much enjoyed by the congregation. An entertainment was given tonight followed by the Reclamation and elecution contests to- morrow for the Ward and Poole medals. At the close the medal offered by T. P. Tate for scholarship will also be awarded. The programme is interest ing and bids fair to attract a large crowd

Carrier Lewis lost valuable animal on his trip last Friday when his horse dropped dead about a mile out. Walk CTS log wagon lowed him, and there was no appreciable delay to the mail.

and. 50 far as can be learned, it has
fully met the most sanguine expee-
tations of the inventor and of those
of the Newhouse staff who have been
engaged with Edward Fink in placing
the experimental plant in commits
sion. Some alterations are being
made in the CRATES and walls for the
furnace. as it has been demonstrated
that the first installed were alto
gether too light for the uses for
which they had been constructed. In
"A day or Two these changes will he
made. and then II is believed that the
plant will operate without hitch.
Now that II has been proved that
the Fink process will be a success, as
soon as few changes have been
made. mining men throughout the
state are very much pleased with the
results. Phoebe mine owners are es-
pecially jubilant over the discovery,
as it seems that Mr. Newhouse has
promised To install ! one of these
plants in that district as soon as all
the alterations have been perfected.
One thing is sure. the Fink
methods will smelt the product of
Phoebe with the least possible ex
pense. according 10 the results that
have been obtained up 10 this time.
This would indicate that it can also
