PLAYGROUND is POPULAR.
Discontinuance Of Present Lease
Would Cause Much Regret.


The announcement last evening that
the Laurium council contemplated
abandoning the Laurium playground
site, situated at the corner OF First
and Hecla streets, when the present
lease expires the last of this month,
caused much interest among residents
Of the village. There is little question
that this plan, If carried out, will meet
with serious objection.
Playground workers, who all along
have sought the cooperation and
friendly spirit Of the council, do not
believe any action will be taken by
that body to impede the progress of
the playground movement here. The
popularity of the playground has been
amply demonstrated, and there can be
little question that it's influence has
been a helpful one among the chill
dren.
Although the village shared the orig
inal expense of preparing the play
ground, the expense incurred ssncc
that time has been very small, and
is not to be compared with the bene-
fits derived.
The playground workers would very
much like to see the village continue
the present arrangement, i'm fact feel
il is due them that the lease be re-
newed for another year at least, so that
IL the grounds must eventually be
abandoned, the association may make
son,a otbpr ARRANGEMENT for it's cQuiD-
ment, which is about as complete as
the equipment 20 be found in any city
playground.

been absent from the landscape.
The coffee zone covers the entire Sec
ton from Paso del Macho. which is 1900
feet above sea-level to Orizaba, 1000 feet
above. Sumidero, midway between Cor
doba and Orizaba. is the heart of the
coffee district. Coffee was introduced into
Mexico in a roundabout fashion. Discov-
cred in southern Arabia in the thirteenth
century,. it was first tried in western Eu-
rope in the seventeenth century. and
about that time taken to Java by, traders.
From Java it was reintroduced. as
plant. to Holland, and in 1870 French
naval officer carried a supply-obtained
from that plant first exhibited in the
botanical gardens Of Amsterdam-to Mar
Unique, in the West Indies, whence 1t
gradually spread over the new world.
At 1000 feet Orizaba is reached. This
is one OF the most picturesque towns in
all Mexico. 1t stands on the site of a
very ancient aboriginal settlement which
was conquered by the invading Aztecs
some sixty years before the spaniards
under Cortes appeared in Mexico.
Its name is derived from one of the
many streams watering che vicinity. The
power of this stream" was utilized by the
Standards to run q -four mill as early as
l553-rpore than half century before
the pilgrims landed at Plymouth.
Today. the waters of Orizaba and vicin-
ity, notably those. Of the Rip Blanco. are
utilized for the production of textiles. the
mills being equipped with the latest
machinery and operated by electric power
from the falls. The cotton mills for which
Orizaba is famous are among the largest
in the republic.
Orizaba, thanks to it's delightful climate
and its many products of both the tropic
and temperate zones, its picturesque sit
uation and easy access both from the
coast and the plateau. has always been a
favorite resort where people from the cap
ital and Puebia meet those from Vera
Cruz and far-of Yucatan.
There are some interesting old churches
and a few monuments. notably that erect,
