Key West, Fla, Jan. IS.-rKey West
is tho southernmost city of the United
States. : It Is built , on a little Island,
far off the mainland,' but It Is the
eounty seat of Monroe county, Florida,
which Includes most of the Florida
Keys, a portion of the mainland and
, the "uncharted and uncounted little Isl
. niids of the archipelago known a' the
, Ten Thousand Islands. In the popular
mind Key west is associated witn ci-
cars. Clstr making; Is the principal
business of the city and furnishes a
livelihood for a majority of the 20,000
Inhabitants. For many years Key West
was the principal center for the man
ufacture of high grade cigars In the
United States, but Tampa baa taken
away that glory. Key West makes as
many-cigars as ever. Dut Tampa makes
more. -.
The cigar business, however, 1 tiot

en American city. It is a populous
inland outpost situated in a position
of treat atrstagla -strength. 1 Thefnrtt-

Tortugas are more formidable, but Fort
Jefferson Is nothing but a fortification.
Key West has Fort Taylor and a naval
station, and It also has population.
Manv of Its people are Cubans, thou
sands of them speaking1 Spanish, but
they are nearly all Americans In spirit.
Key West Is close to Havana, only 90
miles by the sailing course.

The Panama canal will be completed
In ft few years. The American people
confidently expect that It will mean a
great dea to the commerce of the
nation and the world, and It Is with that
confidence that they are taxing them
selves to construct It But it la en
tirely possible that the sge of war
is not over, that there may be an
other great clash of armed nations in
which the United States will take
part, and In which the Panama canal
will play an important part. Four hun
dred years ago the island of Cuba was
recognised as the strategic key to the
rommand of the Cnrlbbean sea and the
Gulf of Vexlco. Cuba Is not American
territory, but the United States has
naval stations there which give this
country military control over It in. case
: of International war.
Key West occupies a -position of
commanding strength Just to the north
of Cubs. When the canal la finished
It will lie In the path of the newly
directed eemmerce. if war should come
it would be one. of the strong positions
for the defense of the seas which com

Anty Drudge "Let him fix it, Dearie ; and don't fear the
grease. Fels-Xaptha will take out all the grease
spots and stains. It's as good for 'dry cleaning' gar
ments as it is for washing, clothes."
; Where there's a will there's a way.
But, usually, only one way.
Fels-Naptha is the way through
which you can free yourself from the
I drudgery of the old-fashioned washday
if you will.
V What is that drudgery?
You know.
, ..Boiling clothes, making fires, hard
nibbing.
Fels-Naptha lops it all off, takes it
out of your washday program.
, : Eels-Naptha itself , does all . the work
that you yourself would have to do in the
roundabout way, summer or winter. "
And it does it , in cool or lukewarm
water, without hot fire, without nauseous

The military Importance of Key West
was thoroughly demonstrated during
our own civil war. Key West was- al
ways in tne nanos or tne xeaerais,
and It was the chief asset of the navy
In enforcing and maintaining tae diock
ade of the ttulf Dorts of the Confed
erate states. The harbor at Key West
Is a rood one for commercial ournoses
although It is uot ideally adapted to
the uses of the modern navy. As a
supply depot, however, 'it 1st perfect.
In modern warfare the problem of
quick and untrammeled transportation
of Supplies is of even greater import
ance at certain stages of action than
actual fighting ability. The new rail
road to Key west will make that city
wjiat It was during the civil war, the
most valuable outpost on the Oulf of
Mexico.
Calos sad Seminole.
Hey West has been accustomed to
the shock of war for centuries, although
the city la less than 100 years old.
When the Spanish conquistadores first
came to this part of the world the
southern portion of Florida was inhab
ited by the Calos Indians, a tribe which
had attained a higher degree of clvill
tatlon than most of the North Ameri
can Indians. They accepted tne Span
iards, accepted their missionaries and
embraced the Christian religion. Ruins
of an old Calos church are yet to be
seen in tne heart or tne jsvergiaaes.
Then came the Semlnoles. In the
Creek language the word "eemlnole"
means "runaway" or "vagabond." The
Rpmlnfilp , hnd run n wav from the
Creek nation to the north and Invaded
Florida. They were mora valiant in
war than the rteaceful and asTiodltural
Calos tribe. A long War began and
tne ceminoies arove tneir enemies irara

The Semlnoles learned the craft Of the
sea and gave pursuit Finally the rem

Here they' made the last stand. The
Semlnoles came In vreat numbers, and
when the battle was over the Calos
nation was a thing of the past. A
few fugitives embarked In canoes, and,
as If bv a miracle, crossed the roil eh
Oulf Stream and landed in Cuba. The
dead were left oh the field of battle
and, years afterward, the Spanish came

the American claim of $5,000,000 for
damages inflicted upon American ship

that Key West Is the westernmost of

First Cigar Factory.
The first cigar factory in the United
States to . make cigars of Havana to
bacco was established In Key West in
1831. and practically all of its output
was exported to England. The business
firospered, and by 1840 had become more
mportant than the salt industry, which
soon died out. The business grew
slowly until after the Civil war, when
better Bhtpplng connections gave the
cigar makers access to American mar
kets. The business Increased by leaps
and bounds, so that by 1880 Key West
was tne cigar manufacturing center
of the country, second only to Havana
in the whole world.
If the railroad had come to Key West
in that day, the cigar supremacy prob
ably would have stayed there, and the
city would now have 100,000 inhabitants.
But Tampa got the railroad, built cigar
factories, and after a long struggle out
distanced its rival. For 8e' or 40 years
Key West was the largest and most
prosperous city, e the -stale. .
Tit Straggle for a Railroad.
Realising that.a railroad connection
would enable it to retain Its predomi
nant importance. Key West has been
trying : for .-years to obtain the boom
which It -Will receive within the next
two years. The first survey for a rail
road to .Key West was made in ISKfi,
ovey practically the same route as that
chosen by the FlonMa East Coast rail
way extension. It was made In connec
tion with a survey for a land telegraph
line. In the following year, however,
the city obtained cable connection and
was made a station on the ocean cable
which connected the United States with
Cuba and Jamaica.
Other railroad surveys were made and
many schemes were laid, but all were
abandoned because there was no one
with $15, 000,000 or $20,000,000 whii
cared to invest it in what seemed to be
a most doubtful railroad experiment.
The sugar and other staple exports of
Cuba then went to Europe, and tho Cu
ban freight business did not hold out
the alluring prospects which it does
today. '
Key West Is the farthest south of
any American city, if exception is
made of the Insular possessions. It is
almost within the torrid gone and Its
climate is tropical, but It has the com
pensating benefits of the trade winds.
so that In summer the thermomeW
never goes higher than 90 degrees and
in winter rarely below 60 degrees. At

the climate was so moist that it was
impossible to keep fresh meats. The
Invention of artificial refrigeration .and
the Ice machine, the work of a Florida
man, changed all that. The danger from
yellow fever has been reduced to a
minimum by modern science, so that

State of Washington, Executive De

Gentlemen of the senate and ' of the
house of representatives- This, the
eleventh regular session , of the legislature-
of the state of Washington, is as
sembled at the opening of a year which
promises to exert a stronger influence
upon the future weal of this state than
any other period in its history. This
virile young commonweaitn, in ine run
enjoyment of a wonderful prosperity,
has entered upon an era of progress and
economic development seldom equaled
in the history of any other state. In
addressing my message to the tenth leg
islature I optimistically predicted that
at the close of the next oiennium this
state would boast-a population of 1,000,
000 people. In this, even my most san
guine -expectation has ben . surpassed,
which demonstrates that in this state
the events of tomorrow may easily ex
ceed what appear to be the exaggera
tions of today and which were consid
ered the dreams of yesterday.

Regulation of liquor Traffic
The result of the recent general -election
fully demonstrated that the plat
form utterance of the Republican party
In Spokane last May concerning the reg
ulation of the liquor traffic met with
the enthusiastic approval of a great ma.
Jority of our citizens. This principle
of local option was given exceptional
prominence in the primary and general
elections. It has received consideration
in the three previous legislative ses
sions. The promise to enact a reason
able local option law should receive
your early and earnest attention. The
people have registered In no uncertain
terms their desire to secure the adop
tion of such a law. For this legislature
to prove recreant ,to the trust imposed
upon it would be to commit a political
crime. It is the question of paramount
Importance before you. This and other
pledges should be sacredly kept and
the covenant solemnly entered Into be

The National Irrigation Congress will
meet in' Spokane In August of this year.
Reclamation of the arid lands Is one of
the most important subjects now before
the country, and no state in the-Union
is more deeply interested In the work of
this congress than is the state of Wash
ington. The delegates, hundreds ! in
number, ' who , will attend the congress
will come from a very part of tba'-union,
and hopes are entertained that many
representatives of foreign countries will
be present. The visitors will be inter

possibilities for development and home
bulldlng. Washington will therefore
profit very directly and still more indi

for the state to cooperate in the effort
to make the session the most success

An Opportunity Thai Cannot Be Duplicated
The Nancy Donaldson Mining Company
- A limited amount of the treasury stock of this company is offered for public subscription at the nom
inal price of
lO Cents Pep Slhiare
The Nancy Donaldson estate consists of about 75 acres in the Goldfield mining district of Nevada,
and is undoubtedly the best undeveloped property there. Before ore was discovered on the Mohawk.
Nancy Donaldson produced at surface some of the richest ore ever mined in the camp. From a depth of
not more than 15 feet, considerable ore was taken out which averaged around $300 per ton with some
specimens that assayed as high as $30,000 per ton. This property has remained undeveloped and today is in
practically the same condition that the big producers of the district were three years1 ago, and offers the same
favorable opportunity for the early investors in these shares.
The formation in the Nancy Donaldson Group, while essentially the same as that which is character
istic of those portions of the Goldfield district in which producing properties have been developed, pre
sents some peculiar and highly favorable conditions. The main mass of the country rock is rhyolite
tufa, which is one of the characteristic rocks of the producing portion of the Goldfield district, showing
the same zones of secondary silicification and enrichment. Tlrere is an outcrop of this kind on the
Nancy Donaldson claim about 50 feet in width and 500 feet in length, and another on the Nancy Donaldson
No. 1 about 20 feet in width that shows on the surface for a considerable distance. On the Nancy Don
aldson claim this outcrop is cut diagonally by a basalt dike. So far as the veins and formation are
concerned, there is no hesitancy in saying that this is the best undeveloped showing in the district, when
the fact is considered that some of the best properties in Goldfield have been developed on surface assays
running from $4 to $6 per ton, and few of them have shown surface values in excess of these figures,
while none of them have shown better surface indications than the Nancy Donaldson.
REGARDING THE PROPERTY THE GOLDFIELD NEWS SAYS:
"A mineral area nearly four miles in extent does not seem to satisfy those who hunger and thirst after
gold, for now one hears considerable about the properties lying: around Red mountain. Here is located
the Nancy Donaldson Mining Company, and the Nancy Donaldson ledge is the place from which all dis
tances are measured around Red mountain. This ledge is perhaps the strongest cropping around Gold
field, and there are streaks in it that assay from $100 to $200, while specimens run high into the thou
sands." ,
AND THE GOLDFIELD REVIEW SAYS:
"Had some prospector stumbled upon the Nancy Donaldson group before Goldfield was discovered,
the history of this neck of the woods might have been written In another order, for it is certain that no
richer ore was ever taken out of a southern Nevada mine than that which was taken out of the Nancy Don
aldson before the first 50 feet was passed." ;
THEt NEW YORK MINING OUTLOOK SAYS t " V
"We caution investors to not overlook this property. The stock, will eventually reach" much higher
figures." '.,
The management of the Nancy Donaldson property is in. the hands of able and experienced mining
men. The president and manager is4".!. C McCormack of Goldfield, Ney., who is also president and mana
ger of the remarkable Broken Hills mine, which within a month has developed into ah extraordinary
proposition. The spectacular development of the Broken Hills mine is without a parallel in Nevada min
ing history. The showing on the Nancy Donaldson as unequaled in Goldfield for a like amount of
development. - . '
