The efforts of his wife and two boys to cnange his mind soon aroused the neighbors, who soon appeared and attempted to discuss the matter with Henry.

The New York botanical garden will publish ebortly the results of a recent expedition sent out under its auspices to explore the flora of Yellowstone park and the surrounding region. The party of botanists was under the im-mendiate im-mendiate supeTyision of Dr. P. A. Ryd-berg, Ryd-berg, and its expenses were paid by-William by-William E. Dodge. After a search of three months it brought back to New York 15,000 specimens.. Most of these were specimens of flowers, shrubs, tree and seeds already well known, and classified by scientists, says the New York Sun. But there was one species found hitherto hith-erto unknown to botany. This was the smallest willow tree extant anywhere in the world. It is only an inch and a half high, and was found by Dr. Eyd-berg Eyd-berg on the summit of the Bridger mountains in Montana. "This species," said Prof. N. L. Brit-ton, Brit-ton, of Columbia university, and director-in-chief of the New York botanical garden, "is entirely new to us. It is the very smallest willow tree to be found anywhere, and flourishes to some extent on the Bridger mountains. Its pigmy Leight is due to the extreme exposure ex-posure of the mountain top. We cannot can-not plant it here, as weather condition would quickly kill it oiT, but a number of preserved specimens will be exhibited ex-hibited in the botanical museum in the Bronx, when that building is completed com-pleted next summer." WAR IS LIFE. It Blake Bnalneaa for tbe Bnlldera of Great Shlpa That Go Down to Sea. War may be "hell," but there are various va-rious enterprises which depend entirely entire-ly upon its existence, says the Cincinnati Cincin-nati Enquirer. After tbe manufacturers manufac-turers of war materials the shipbuiid ers are most happy over international contentions. In these days of commercial commer-cial enterprise, when every great nation na-tion has its trading fleet, as well as its fighting ships, the risk run owing to the necessities of obtaining supplies abroad are enormous. The scouring of the seas by a hostile fleet, the sinking: sink-ing: and capture of ships so diminish tbe number of vessels on the seas that no industry outside of that which pro vides war materials is so active. The dockyards in time cf war are kept in ar"5tate"Df rneessant activity, and every shipbuilding- yard in theiKjd is in fuli work, seeking to perform the almost impossible task of keeping pace with the wear and tear of war time among the sea-going craft. Of course, there is extra wear a.nd tear with soldiers' clothing in an active campaign, and this lends extra activity to the clothing industries. in-dustries. Uut, all things considered, shipbuilding undoubtedly is the industry in-dustry most benefited by a war. Even when the war is over a long time eJapses before the shipbuilding trade assumes its normal level of activity. Eilncate Your t;,i win, 'careta.

PHIL TUCKET IN CUBA His Uncle Samuel Fired Up a Boating Party for Him. HE IS SOW IS PIXAR DEL RIO And is a Member of Pack Train So. 27 With the Seventh U. S. Cav. Story of a Pleasant Sea Voyajre. Pinaii Del Rio, Citba. ) April 9th 1899 ) Editok Independent: Thinking that perhaps a few line from Cuba might be interesting to Utah County people, I thuugh I would take you on an imaginary trip, to and through this isle. Sunday morning, Jan. 22, finds us "where the southern sunny breeze, fans the old palrueto trees down in the old Savannah home" six troops of the 71 h Cavalry , (Custer's old unlucky un-lucky righting Tth) one company of eugineers, 12 six-mules teams, and 2 pack trams, Nos. 23 and 27, of 64 mules each all on the wharf, hurrying, scurrying to get men, horses, wagons, mules.rations, forage, teotage, and all paraphanalia on board the trans port Manitoba, (now the Lngan.) There are quarters to be assigned, there is the great city of Savannah (or some part of it) that must be seen and letters to be written home, and we sail at 4 p.m. and, mind, Savannah time is an hour ahead of Macon time which we have been keeping, so don't get left. WTe. are thousands of miles from home and broke, for it is two months since we were paid and we have just emerged from the holidays, so its to Cuba or go to the d ', and and as some people have returned from Cuba we'll take our chances there first, please. Ati:30 the whistle blows to clear away, the gangways are hauled in, the little tug sweeps down the river to our bow and hooks onto the tow line like an ant hooking onto a bumble bee. She doesn't look like she cfuild tighten the towlioe, but in a few minutes we are gliding past the city. House tops, wharves, streets, boats, barges, everything seems covered with living, moving, hunday humanity. Flags, of different nations arc being dipped in honor to our Uncle's transport, and his troops. Flags and handerchiefs are waving, people are cheering and say ing, '"Remember the Maine and give t he Spanards h 1". As we pass a tall steeple the hands of the clock point to x am loomog at an American city the last I shall see for, who knows when? I am thinking think-ing of another Sunday evening, eight months past, when I glided out of Salt Lake City, and these are two Sundays 1 shall never forget. Though I have many tifis been out of sight orwater, for the first time I shall soon be eut of sight of labd. But our little tug, like the ant, has no thought for heart beating or sentiment senti-ment within the large creature, but pulls us past hulks of wrecks, signal stations, and as we pass the old Fort Old Glory goes up as a last salute from dear America (we always think of the United States as America though it is only a spot on the man). We are soon passing a line in the river, a line as plainly marked at that between the highway and farm. On one side t he water is yellow, on the other blue, and we are passing into the Atlantic. Dai kness comes on, and with it the first glimmer of life on the ocean wave, for the light or the pilot boat can be seen. The last mail is gathered, gather-ed, a boat is being lowered, the boats-swai boats-swai sins out ''Bring up th'ise two stowaways; Here, pilot, take these kids back with you!" The boat is lowered, down go the two youngsters who are being saved from a hard fate did they but kuow it, the pilot has stepped into bis little boat with a 'Good luck to you all, boys," and pushes away from the side of the great laboring monster. The tug has cast off tbe towline, swings around to the larboard, gives us a rousing cheer and we go steadily on, out into the sea and darkness. We go below, swing our hammocks and try to doze, but it is too warm and the experience is too novel. At midnight we find ourselves slipping upon deck to catch a breath of the soft Southern sea breeze. Our first 'ook is to the northwest; a light flickers for a moment and is gone, then again and again, and we know it is a light-house. We look along the low-lying coast, which in tbe bright moon light seems no more than half a mile distant. Our eyes follow the shoreline to the southwest, and there seems a myriad of electric lights. We ask a seaman what it is and are told; "Palm Beach hotel, the fashonable Florida winter resort." There is probably a ball or some entertainment en-tertainment going on. We strain our eyes to see an American soul, to get a signal of recognition, but seeing none we turn to tbe opposite side of the boat and gaze into the deep rolling roll-ing ocean. Tiring of this, we step back and through a door and leanl over a steel railing, looking down, down, down, ana as we gaze the hot air nearly takes our breath. Large can vas funnels with spreading wings at the top are running into this pit (ojtithtniT on1 q rrpi n IT t.ha rf inl oil hn. t low, and drinking the hot air up. Everything about us is steel, polished as bright and clean as it can be made. Steel ladders run to the bottom, and one seems to be looking through the ocean to some infernal region. Human forms are moving about, 6hoveling coal into the mouths of fiery monsters who lick it up with a never ceasing hunger. We have been taking, a peep at "the man that's down below." It Is too warm to peep long, and as we turn away almost within reach of our hands is a little machine, just tbe antipodes of the one below. , It is an ice plant working with all its might to make a supply of ice for the hundreds of souls on board. A nap of a few hours and we come on deck again. Far astern and high in tbe air gleams a light; it is the lighthouse on the southernmost coast of Florida, Our quarters must be cleaned up, animals fed ami watered. The poor lieasts are dripping with sweat, and two of them die with overheat before we reach Havana. Now breakfast of hard tack, coffee and slum (the boys called it Manitoba slum, but Manitoba wasn't responsible responsi-ble for it); but I am on good terms with the head butcher, and I think there is something better waiting above for me, s: I'll just call and see All day we watch the keys, the fishing fish-ing smacks, the waves, the foam, the porpoises, the flying fish and the star Hsh, We see a mast rise out of the ocean in the distance, grow into a ship, pass by, salute and sink again in the dista ice.

The city council met in regular session, Monday night, Mayor Hall aud Councilman Loynd being th only absentees at roll call. Mayor Hall ariived later in the evening. A petition from the land owners ot Dry Creek, or West Field, asking that the city council draft an ordinance ordi-nance turning the water of Hobble Creek, to which they are entitled, into the Mapleton Canal & Reservoir Co's. ditch; thence into the Big Hollow, Hol-low, from September to April of each year, so that the water can be used for the sugar factory, and that the laud owners will use the water aftcr it has served the purpose of the factory. fac-tory. " The petition was sigued by nearly aii the land owners on Dry Creek, and was designed to do away with the necessity of buying the water of the Big Hallow for the use of the sugar factory at an exhorbitant price. The petition was referred to the city attorney to see if the matter could be legally done. Councilman Huntington made a report re-port on the progress of the purchase of the Mapleton Reservoir & Canal Co. His report showed that there had not been much progress made in the matter since his last, report. He stated that the company wanted $750 for their canal and reservoir, which the committee agreed to give. Besides this the company wanted them to purchase .and use, this season, sea-son, another reservoir site on tbe canal. Mr. Huntington stated that the committee had interviewed Mr. Wing and Mr. Dibble in regard to the reservoir site on their laud, and that Mr. Wing wanted $2,250 for thirty acres of his land that the reservoir reser-voir would take, and Mr. Dibble asked $100 per acre for what land the reservoir would cover owned by him, which was about eight acres. Huntington Hunt-ington stated that he thought this price a little steep, but moved that the council accept the proposition and pay the price asked. Whiting: favored Huntington's motion, while Harmer stated that he was opposed to paying the price asked for the reservoir site, for he thought that thjre were other si Us that cod 1 ue-had ue-had much cheaper. Harmer wa hotly backed up by Reynolds, who btated that he was opposed to taxiug the people to raise such an amount of money for such a purpose, and stated that be thought it class legislation; that it wa taxing the old land own- . ers, who had good water titles, to death, fur the benefit of the new . land owners, who get more water by this move. The discussion ended la Huntington's motion ueiog placed be-; fore the council as two motions. Toe first was that the city should give thu mapieion ixinar, etervoir-fc irrf-ft- tion Co. their note for $750, payable on tne Jstor December, for the cauat and reservoir site of the company. Ibis passed by a unanimous vole of t he council. The second, which was that the city pay to Mr. Wing and Mr. Dibble the price asked for their land for the proposed site brought u a hot light, and the motion wa finally lost, Huntington and Whit-, ing voting for the iu ition. and Key-' nolds and Harmer voting against it which made a tie, whereupon M Ivor, Hail voted noon the question aud de-i cidf-d the fate of the motion. j When the vote was declared Mr. Wh-g. lir.
