President Of keokuk Industrial As
soeiatIon says This City and
Iowa 10 Good Enough
For Anyone.
GOOD ROADS IN CUBA
Some Lessons In Highway Construc.
ton Might BE Taken From
These Peopie-FIorida
Overestlmated.

John Nagel, president of the keo-
kuk Industrial association, mas re-
turned from an extended trip to
Cuba and the southern United States.
He is firmly convinced that keokuk
is the best city in the country, and
does not see why there Is such
rush to get to Florida, which is GER
tainiy not as aiiurins as the tourist
to hear Mr.. Mayors
descriptions.
The Iowa party which included Mr..
Nagel, left here in the last OF Janu-
airy. going to New York, and thence
by boat to Cuba There were repre-
sentatives from Dubuque, Davenport
and other Iowa cities. At Havana,
Cusa, the party found much to in
terest them. Mr.. Nagel says Havana
is the cleanest city he has ever Wis
tied This is due to the influence OF
the American occupation in 1898, and
was entirely the work of Major Cen
eral Leonard Wood.
Learn Road Making.
Iowa could take some lessons In
road making from the Cubans, Mr..
Nagel said. They have splendid
stretch of road of sixty miles from
Havana across the island. The road
is bordered with palms and is artis-
tic as well as q splendid example OF
road making. For one thing, the
Cuban stone, sort of granite rock.
helps to make solid and stable road
bed Then this is kept in repair by
gangs of workmen, who go over the
road every day. The European sys-
tenn is in vogue, piles of material are
near at hand and gangs with steam
rollers are at work over every Sec
ton, daily, repairing every little
break before it has chance to en-
large.
The party was in Havana at the
time of the outbreak Of the revolu-
ton, but no one would know anything
was out of the ordinary, Mr.. Nagei
said, except for the presence of sol
diers and the fact that people were
stopped going and leaving the city,
to be searched for arms.
Cane lie Best Crop.
Tobacco and sugar cane are the
big crops Of Cuba. and Iowans are
of the opinion that the natives are
too lazy to try to raise anything else.
Cane grows with little care after it
is planted, and this seems to be the
crop Of the island.
From. Cuba the party went to Flor
ida, which Mr. Nagel thinks is vastly
over-es timated. The east coast is
very sandy, and there Is little about
the country to commend it, in his
mind. The palms cannot compare
with the hickory and oak and maple
trees Of our state. and in many other
ways Florida falls short.
In New York, Mr.. Nagel saw sew,
eral former Keokuk people who told
him they expected to come back here
as soon as they possibly could. All
the trip Mr.. Nagel found that
Keokuk and the Keokuk dam were
we'll known. 81
