tain laurel is in danger of becoming eX-
tinct through its lavish use for Christ

has issued an appeal to the public to
give up it's use. A leaf1et devoted to
the preservation of this evergreen says
that the plant is gathered extensively

ed States government re
Gently sent some war vessels and ma.
rines down to that Central American
hornets nest to show the present head
hornet, President Zelaya, that he can
not murder American citizens without
being called to answer in court Of
law. Intelligent observers express the
belief that the United States will place
an army of occupation on Nicaraguan
soil until such time as there can be
established in that volcanic bailiwick
a government guaranteed not to erupt
every six months. Our course in Cuba
seems about to be repeated in Mica
ragua
That is why some real facts about
Nicaragua are pertinent. Once upon a
time a young American. William Wal
ker of Nashville, Tenn, was president
of Nicaragua. Fifty-t three years ago
Walker conquered the country with
only ffty-six men at his back. OF
course it didn't stay conquered. Walker
was stood up and shot down. For half
century his bones have bleached in
Nicaraguan sands. AS Joaquin Miller,
who in youth was one of Walkers
fiery flibusters. has sung:
He lies low in the leveled sand,
Unsheltered from the tropic sun,
And now of all he knew not one
Will speak him fair in that far land.
The bones Of Leroy Cannon and
Leonard Groce, the two Americans re-
Gently executed by order of Zelaya, do
not even bleach. Their bodies were
burned, also by Zelaya's order. In a
smaller way they were like Walker,
the foremost of the filibusters. They
fought against the prevailing govern
ment because it was thing of shreds
and tatters, so far. as stability was

How to Reach Nicaragua.
There is only one railroad in Nicara-
qua, and that doesn't cut much space.
It runs from Corinto, on the Pacific
coast, to Managua, located on a lake
near that coast, and from there to
Granada, on Lake Nicaragu the lar
gest inland body of water in Latin
America. The railroad is about 100
miles long-or short, as it looks to us.
It is said to be almost impossible for
an American, unless he possess the in
trepidity Of Peary or Cook, to cross
Nicaragua from coast to coast. The
roads in some places are mere trails.
The interior is mountainous and wild
Corinto is the principal port on the
Pacific side. The town has but 1000
Inhabitants. 10 get to Nicaragua per-
haps the quickest route is through
Mexico by rail to Salina Cruz and
thence by steamship to Corinto One
may go by ship from San Francisco all
the way. Steamers from New Orleans
run direct to Bluefelds, on the Allan
tic side, place of 5000 people. Steam
ers from New York also touch Blue
fields Many persons from the east
ern section of the United States get to
Nicaragua by crossing Panama and
taking ship to Corinto.
Like all Central and South American
countries, Nicaragua is an undeveloped
nation. The natural resources of the
country seem to require only stable
government for development into won

Nicaragua New York's Size.

| Nicaragua is not so much as to size.
though it is bigger than Holland, Bel
GUM and Denmark combined. Those
are monarchies in Europe, and Mica
ragua and her ilk are practically mon
arches in America, though called re-
publics by colrt2E :, But Nicaragua
is so much bigger than Panama that
the latter nation" looks like Cat
taraugus county in relation to the
state of New York In fact, Nicara qua
is almost exactly the size of New
York, being 1920 square miles in
area. The country is richer than Rus
STA proper in coast lines, having 225
miles ol the Pacific and nearly 800
miles on the Caribbean sea, the Allan
tic side.
Nicaraguis's reatest width is 275
miles, the diasca from st. Louis to
Chicago or from New York to Wash
ington. In one place it is only 125
miles wide, the distance from Chicago
across Illinois to the Mississippi river.
Let US call Nicaragua it instead Of she.
as that might offend the ladies.
According to information supplied
by the international bureau Of Ameri-
can republics, Nicaragua has the
smallest population Of any Central
American republic except Panan ma.
There are about 100000 people in the
country. This is less than the popula-
tion Of st. Louis. Many Of the Nicara-
guans are aborigines. living In the int
rior Businesses and as uncivilized as

Great streams of water are beng

end Of the tunnel has been abandoned
TO its doom.
Two hundred feet Of the tunnel have
already caved in and there is little
chance of saving another stretch of
about 400 feet. The section that caved
in carried with it the street, cutting off
