 according to the consular agent, was 85,884

NUEVA GERONA THE BETTER PORT 



The chief of the national navy has or- 

 dered the coast guard boats, Alfredo and 

 Matanzas, from Batabano to Nueva Gerona, 

 Isle of Pines, until further notice. He 

 says this is done because the port of Ba- 

 tabano offers no securities for the ships in 

 case a cyclone should happen along that 

 way. 



The repairing and repainting of the cus- 

 tom house and government dock at Gerona, 

 Isle of Pines, will soon be under way by 

 the Public Works Department. A new coal 

 pocket will also be lauilt. When this im- 

 provement is completed the wharf and 

 warehouses at Jucaro will receive attention. 



Nueva Gerona will soon have an electric 

 plant. 



STONE CRUSHING PLANT 



A stone crushing plant will soon be estab- 

 lished in Nueva Gerona at the base of the 

 mountain west of the town, and will be 

 equipped to furnish at a reasonable cost 

 pulverized limestone for agricultural pur- 

 poses as well as crushed stone for all com- 

 mercial purposes. — Isle of Pines News. 



A public school will soon be established 

 at Galeta Grande, Isle of Pines. The re- 

 quest to the Cuban government was made 

 by the English minister. The superintend- 

 ent of schools has been instructed to look 

 into the matter. He is known to be favor- 

 ably disposed to the project. 



The Difference Between 



Good and Inferior Sugar 



has a great deal to do with the method of refining. If right temperatures are not 

 maintained in processes demanding a certain temperature an inferior product results. 

 Then why not make sure that right temperatures are maintained — eliminate uncer- 

 tainties, by installing a 



"Columbia" 



Recording Thermometer 



You will then receive each morning a chart — a written 



record — showing in detail the exact temperature 



maintained in the process for every minute, day 



and night, during its operation. Supervise your 



plant intelligently if your aim is "maximum 



output with minimum expense." Install a 



"Columbia" NOW.
