HAVANA 



The United Railways of Havana 



in conjunction with the Cuba Railroad, maintain a service of 

 two trains daily between Havana and the growing Eastern 

 city of CAMAQUEY, and one Express Train daily between 

 Havana and SANTIAGO DE CUBA, the "Dream City of the 

 West Indies." Buffet lunch is served on these trains. 



FOUR TRAINS DAILY 



in both directions between Harana and MATANZAS, which latter city because of its picturesque 

 situation and ibe charm of its principal attractions (Yumuri's famous valley and the wonderful 

 caTes of Bellamar) has long enjoyed distinction as the great "Mecca" of the tourists, and it 

 continues to gain in popularity. EXCELLENT TRAIN SERVICE is maintained to many other 

 places of great interest to tourists, all of which are fully described in "Cuba — A Winter 

 Paradise," a profusely illustrated 80-page booklet with six complete maps and 72 views illustratiTC 

 of this wonderful island, sent postpaid on receipt of 3 cents in stamps.

DYNAMITE FOR HARD SUBSOILS 



According to the Experiment Station 

 Record experiments have been conducted 

 in Hawaii to test the value of dynamite in 

 opening up impervious subsoil which occurs 

 in certain parts of that territory. A low 

 velocity 25 per cent dynamite was used, 

 the sticks being l-!4-inch in diameter by 8 

 inches long, and placed to a depth of about 

 2V2 feet, varying with the nature and con- 

 dition of the soil. The results obtained 

 were satisfactory, the subsoil was opened 

 up, and the cost of the experiment was 

 about 3c. per hole, thus making the cost of 

 8 feet X 8 feet spacing (the usual distance) 

 $20.40 per acre. In preparing the land for 

 planting, the ordinary ploughing and cul- 

 tivating operations have to be performed 

 in addition.

PITCH PINE MARKET CONDITIONS 



Cuban orders for pine lumber are fre- 

 quent and liberal, this branch of the trade 

 having been especially active for months 

 past. More lumber is being shipped to 

 Cuba than at any previous time, and there 

 is every indication of continued brisk 

 trade. Cuban freights continue upon a 

 high level, which has not apparently ex- 

 erted any disturbing influence upon the 

 volume of purchases, and mill prices for 

 Cuban lumber rule practically unchanged. 



It is declared that owing to the insist- 

 ence of many of the citizens of Santiago, 

 Mrs. Palma will make her permanent home 

 in that city, where her distinguished hus- 

 band was born and died.
