particulars OF the work done by
these two investigators.
Their investigation occupied three years
and the problems which they set out 10
solve are as follows:
Is the eight-hour day fair limit to ap-

Can a practical method be devised Tor

In the event Of the postmens complaint
Of overwork being made out. what is the
best remedy-a shorter working day Tor

The investigation was undertaken in con-
sequence Of a medical report submitted In
1907. in which ii was asserted that the result
of inquiries made in London and Glasgow
did not discover an undue proportion Of re-
tirements because Of excessive stair climb

TWO FROM CUBA
VISITING FARGO
PLEASANT INTERVIEW. WITH
CHARLES Won scHooNHAvEN,
WHO FORMERLY RESIDED AT
FINLEY AND BALFouR IN THIS
STATE.

Charles Won Schoonhaven and A. j.
Dysland of Santo Domingo, Cuba, are
guests at the Waldorf hotel for a few
days. They left Cuba. only a few days
ago, and are rather distressed at the
wet weather they. have encountered
since coming here.
Mr.. Won Schoonhaven was a former
North Dakota man. He used to live
at Finley and for seven years was a
resident of Balfour, this state.
1t was about six years ago that he
sold put his belongings in North Da-
kota and moved to Cuba.
81 keep pretty well posted on what
is going on in North Dakota" said
he to The Forum this morning, for
your paper reaches me right along. In
fact / have been having it sent to me
ever since / went to Cuba to live.
I'VE are doing well raising sugar
cane and in addition now have LOO
fruit trees growing which are just
beginning to yield and I want to tell
you that it is worth seeing. We raise
a great deal of grape fruit and 1t al
ways brings good prices, but We de-
pend mostly on the sugar cane to
bring in money, although vegetables
are also a source Of great profit.
1.-THE natives depend a great deal on
what is known as bread fruit. This
grows wild and resembles outwardly a
pine apple when growing. 1t has seeds
in it like a melon, but has no taste in
common with that. Really one could
live a very long time on the bread
fruit alone, at least the natives do.
We have sold over 1000 acres of
land down there and it has nearly all
been sold to North Dakota parties,
some of whom have moved there and
are doing well.
"San Domingo is a beautiful city of
5000 inhabitants and our lands are
located not far from there. We have
a bank of $4,000, 900 capital, for let
me tell you hat one cannot start a
bank anywhere on the island short Of
81, 600, 900. 49,
Cuba is really a grand place. 1t
is a veritable garden and the health
of the people since the United Statets
did it's famous work of cleaning up
has been excellent. We have noun
tains and valleys, rivers and lakes,
making the entire island a veritable
park.
I'VE shall visit the people here and
I shall take a trip back to the towns
I used to live In just to visit and
greet my old friends again, before re-
turning to the south"
