The submarine cable between Havana and Key West is 115 miles in length, which leaves but 759 miles of the route in the Republic of Mexico. Calls between Cuba and Mexico, however, are routed by way of Miami, Jacksonville, Washington, D. C., and Harrisburg, and thence through Pittsburgh and Cleveland to Chicago, St. Louis, Dallas, San Antonio and Laredo, where the line continues over the new line, opened late in 1927, direct through the heart of Mexico to Mexico City. An emergency circuit, however, has been arranged from Miami by way of Atlanta, New Orleans and Houston to San Antonio. This emergency circuit line comprises 3,989 circuit miles, of which 2,115 are in the United States. This latter circuit is not used except in cases of emergency because it involves several switches, with the result that transmission by way of Washington, Pittsburgh, Chicago and St. Louis is much faster and better. The charge for a three minute conversation from Cuba to Mexico is $16.25, with an added charge of $5.25 This for each additional minute. charge is not based on the circuit mileage between the two countries, hut by the air mileage direct from Havana to Kev West and thence from Kev West to Larodo and from Laredo to Mexico Cit.v. The air mileage from Havana to Kev West is 113 miles: from Kev West to Larado 1,132 miles, and from Larado to Mexico Citv 560 miles. Thus, it makes no difference to the uublic using the service whether calls are routed hv wav of Washington. Pittsburgh. Chicago and St. Louis, or whether tbev go bv the alternate route of Atlanta. New Orleans and Houston, since all such charges are based on air mileage. It is an interesting fact that since the service was inaugurated the of the calls have come from Mexico to Cuba, rather than from Cuba to Mexico. The traffic is constantly increasing. ma-iori- tv UTAH INDUSTRIAL REVIEW Brigham City Community specifies day for improving Pioneer park, 22 acres.

It appears that basket weavers lived there as early as the year 2000 B. C., and ruins of later prehistoric cliff dwellings furnish mute evidence d of a past, while check dams built at least 1,500 years ago to conserve the scant water supply of the region are still functioning as of planned by the primitive engineers that lost civilization. Tales of fabulous wealth, presumably of these prehistoric people, led Spanish explorers into the region in 1541 and later gold mining became an extensive activity. The region is also replete with natural wonders. The magnitude of the ruins indicate that apparently in the past the basin played an important part in human activities; today, however, the utilization of the basin for either extenmining or agriculture is not sive, owing perhaps to its remoteness from the main transcontinental Date The report describes in detail all the present and proposed power sites and the present and possible irrigation development.
