SUGAR CROP REPORTS.

Consul-General James J. Rodgers,
writing from Havana, under date of
December i6, states that the sugar
cane grinding season in Cuba is now
well under way. and the results at
tanned so far argue for a low percent
age of saccharine matter, thus indi-
eating that there may be doubt as to
the total sugar production under the
fine promise as to cane Mr.. Rodgers
says, further.
This condition is disturbing the
minds of the sugar producers. and Wig
orous denial Is now being made as to
the prospective great size Of the crop
OF 19089. To support this conten-
ton the sugar producers state that
many other things may occur during
the next two months which will inter
fere with the sugar output, and that
it Is unfair TO assume at this time, on
tho basis of cane production, that the
output will be as large as that OF the
1907-S season The estimates are now
running from 1,250.000 to 100000
tons, but it is absolutely impossible
at this time to state which figure will
be nearer the final mark The only
thing certain at the present time is
that with normal yield of sugar from
the cane, the total output of sugar
should, theoretically speaking, be as
large, II not larger, than that Of 1907-S.
The sugar producers insist that un-
der a continuance of the impression
that the 19OS-9 crop is going to be
abnormally large, the price of Cuban
sugar will soon be lower than the aver
age cost of production on the Island.
Under all the circumstances they as
sert that there should be suspension
OF judgment In the matter until at
least the 1St Of February, when there
Will be clear determination as to
the quality of the cane and of the
weather which will probably be eXpe-
rienced during the busiest days OF the
grinding season. AS this Issue of
price Is of the most vital moment to
the Cuban sugar producer OF the i'm
mediate future, it would seem that
this position is we'll taken.

EleHrx.rwo YEARS.

The old gentleman who was separ-
gted from the Mormons at the exodus
from Far West and who had almost
forgotten the past until after 70 years,
when he came to Utah to meet some
of those who knew him as boy OF
IL. certainly has the right to say he
feels as did Rip Van Wrinkle when he
arose from his sleep OF 20 years and
found n change almost beyond his
power to realize.
J. r. Sanders, who said goodbye
to the friends Of his youth and went
east, while the great body OF the Nor
mon people came west, was In Salt
Lake, Tuesday. searching for voice
from the past He was looking for
some one he knew when the hardships
and privations fell heavily upon his
father and mother and their associ-
ates back in 1882 He met Joseph F,
Smith He knew the Smith family
and he recalled the time Of President
Smiths birth. He met others and the
old-timers exchanged "reminiscences.
Then Mr.. Sanders was shown the tab
ernacle and temple and the attractions
of the city.
He said IL was as though he had
awakened from dream; for he could
scarcely realize the mutations OF time
When he left the Mormons. they were
sheltered In log cabins. crudely fash
ioned, and poverty and wrctchedness
were upon them because Of the perse-
cutions inflicted by a hostile people.
Today he sees them happy. prosper
oms. contented, with comfortable
ZONES and even palaces, surrounded
by modern conveniences and advan-
tages. He finds them with schools of
learning and great industrial institu-
tons. He notes the architectural beau
ly of some OF their houses of worship.
And he says:
1T is revelation, and | am surprls-
ed beyond utterance. To me it all ap-
peals with greater force than perhaps
to any one now living. for l know the
old days but have been unconscious
of the wonderful strides of the Nor
mon people. have come suddenly
from the reveIies of 1883 to 1899 to
the present and the reality Is over
powering."
Mr.. Sanders has been living In Min
nesota quarter of a century and prl-
or thereto was a resident Of the east.
He had allowed his early experiences
to remain unrecalled up to the time
he arrived In Ogden.
Though not a Mormon, being some
what of a sbeptic, yet of Mormon an
tecedents, he decided to see Mormon
ism of today. His story OF the Nor
mon people as he remembers them
and the Mormons of today as he sees
them is bridging OF So years of won
derful changes.

TRANscoNTINENTAL LINE.

There Is nothing improbable In the
its Southern Pacific stock to the New
York Central. taking It's pay In New
York Central stock to an amount
which, added to that already controll-

that company control OF the New York
Central system, which extends from
Chicago to New York. says the San
Francisco Chronicle. There would be
no difficulty In getting formal owner
ship by the Union Pacific of one of the
lines between the Missouri river and
Chicago and then there would be a
magnlfcently equipped line under one
administration from the Atlantic to
the Pacific. And II that were the
whole story. it would be as much to
the public interest as to the interest
of the stockholders of the connecting

A Novel Shower.

A dozen girls who lived for years
as neighborhood friends showered one
OF their number, who is to be a De-
cember bride, in this unusual manner:
The hostess asked them all to meet
at her house informally at two
O'Clock, the bride-elect was asked to
come at three. In this way The host
ess explained her scheme, which was
as follows. She had material for each
one to make the following articles:
A busting cap, three busters, broom
bag, ironing holder, laundry bag, kitch-
en- apron, clothespin bag, roller towel
and case to wind linen doilies on.
The entire cost was added and divided
equally and then each article was
wrapped in tissue paper, tied with rib
bon and hidden throughout the rooms.
When the honored guest arrived, they
cnatted awhile, then the hostess an
nounced that fairy godmother had
D con1ded to her that there were pack
ages Of value concealed within the
portals Of the room, to be discovered
only by bride-elect and to the tune
OF bridal music. Whereupon the host.
ess sat down to the piano and played
wedding marches while the merry lit
tie bride hunted the hidden treasures,
guided by the loud or soft tones on
the piano. All the packages being dis.
covered, they were opened and the
girls all set to work on which ever
piece they chose. They pronounced
this utility shower" and it certain
ly was practical, for the guest of honor
said her mind was so in the clouds
that she had never even dreamed of
the articles presented. Besides it was
a. jolly afternoon. Refreshments were
English toasted mullins, orange mar
mala6e, preserved ginger and delicious
tea, brewed by the hostess.

While all farmers would, no doubt,
agree on the question Of conveniently
arranged and substantially construct.

housing Of the different kinds of stock
in separate buildings is advisable,
many Of us, for some reason, are so
situated that 1t is not possible to build
separate buildings, writes ]. E. Bridg.
man in American Agriculturist. The
question Of labor causes us to so ar.
range our farm buildings that the feed.
ing and caring for stock is reduced to
the minimum. This can best be &C.
complished where all, or at least the
greater part, Of the stock is housed
under one roof, and in a building that
will have storage room for a large
quantity Of feed.

harm. The barn is a balloon frame,
