THK rAlXBH HERO.
Brief Sketch of the Uaraer of Oenenl Aa-
tonlo Macro.
Antonio Maceo was, without ques
tion, the most brilliant figure of the
present revolution in Cuba. He
affected a landing atCerta de Barancoa
on March 31. With him were Flor
Crombet and a number of persons
Maceo had been a member of General
Gomez' staff during the 10 years' war,
from 1868 to 1878, and commanded
large bodies of troops in the province
of Santiago de Cuba, in which province
his family had lived, and where he
owned a large nlantation. After the
10 years' war Maceo traveled In Cen
tral America, attempting to raise a
large force to invade Cuba, and con
test, the sovereignty, of Spain.
In 1886 he went to Hayti to try to
get assistance for an invasion of Cuba,
but he was driven out, and lived for a
long time In retirement in Jamaica,
and after that he returned to Cuba and
lived very quietly on his plantation
in the Eastern province, where be was
verv oonular. In 1890 he was driven
out of Cuba and came to New York,
At the time of the present outbreak he
was in Florida, and be joined a large
expedition which set out from Fort
Limon in 1892 on the steamer Adrion
dack. A Spanish man-of-war pursued
the steamer for eight hours, and at last
the leaders were compelledto land on
Fortune island, one of the Westln-
dias. Thence Maceo and the other
leaders made their way to Cuba. On
the great raid across the island in 1895,
Maceo was Gomez chief coadjutor,
and when Captain-General Campos
had finally receded with his headquar
ters to Havana, Maceo led a daring
raid into the fertile province of Pinar
del Rio, where he devastated the great
tobacco district and raised the whole
province in revolt against Spain.
There he has been ever since, with the
Spanish authority in the province
practically overturned.

THK SECFERT BROS. CASE.
in th r.
Awarded 3S,000 Damages
Court.
rhe case of the United States vt.
Seufert Bros, to condemn a right-of-
way across their property for the Celilo
boat-railway, terminated in Judge
Bellinger's court at Portland yester
day, the jury assessing the damages of
Seufert Bros, at $35,000. This is much
less than they asked, and whether it is
a just compensation is somewhat a con
jecture, since the damage does not con
sist of the value of the land which the
government soeks to condemn, but in
the inconvenience to which they will
be put in operating their fishing plant.
To what extent they will be damaged
in this respect was a difficult matter
for the jury to arrive. Had the case
been tried at some other season of the
year, and the jury been allowed to
visit the property during the busiest
fishing season, it would have been an
easier matter to determine the value of
the property and the extent to which
the owners will be damaged. In such
an event the verdict would no doubt
have been for a larger amount.

There is danger that if the present
warm spring-like weather continues
for a few days it will cause the buds to
start on the trees and when another
cold spell comes, as it surely will, the
fruit prospects for the next season will
be greatly endangered. It would un
doubtedly be better for the country to
have our winter all at once and not in
broken doses.
Farmers who have been in the city
from different parts of the country say
the recent cold weather did no damage
whatever to fall grain. ' It was well
covered with snow daring the extreme
cold, hence was well protected from
the freeze. Should an extreme cold
spell occur now, since the snow has
gone off and the ground is thoroughly

At the morgue in San Francisco lies
the body of a man who had spent half
bii life Of 75 years in endeavoring to
solve the problem of aerial navigation,
and just as he was about to demonstrate
tbe possibility of his life work, death
intervened. So if he has solved the
great problem, others will have to put
the result of his genius into operation
Tbe man is Robert Nagler, an obscure
truss manufacturer, as well as an am
bitious inventor. For years he has
worked on his theory, confiding his
hop s to a few and his fears not even
to himself. On November 27 the dead
man received information from Wash
ington to the effect that a patent had
been granted to bim for an airship and
also for a boat which was to be operated
on similar lines. Since the receipt of
the information, Mr. Nagler baa talked
with many friends concerning the ad
visability of forming a stock company
for the manufacture of the. airship.
So confident was he that it would work
successfully that he would entertain
no proposition suggesting failure.
. A few evenings since he went into a
saloon and for a time entertained
those present with a theoretical de
scription tof how he proposed to travel '.
among the clouds.' About 9:30 o'clock
he seated himself near ond of the
tables and ' after drinking a glass of
beer rested his head on his arms as
though in deep meditation. Half an
hour later someone tried to rouse him,
but the old inventor was dead. " ' 1

The First Apple Seed.
It is now 70 years since the first ap
ple seeds were planted in Oregon,
being brought here by a Captain Simp
son from England, so the West Side,
of Independence, says. The seeds were
dropped into Captain Simpson's pocket
by the lady whoate the apple that
held them, and she told the captain to
plant them in the great wilderness to
which he was going. Upon his arrival
on the Pacific coast, months afterward,
something . reminded x him of this
incident, and feeling in his pocket
he found the seeds still ' there.
They were planted, and from them
sprang the first apple trees in Oregon.
Two trees grew from these seeds, one
of them bearing a green apple, and the
other a beautiful red one. Seeds from
these apples were planted by the Hud
son Bay Company, and in this way
several orchards were started. The first
introduction of fruit trees direct into
Oregon was in 1847, when Henderson
Lewelling brought about 700 trees and
shrubs across the plains in a wagon,
the trees being several months on the
most difficult to handle that ever
crossed the plains, yet it has been
truly said "these trees contained
health, wealth and comfort for the old
pioneers of Oregon."

In mentioning the failure of the of
ficials in charge of tbe government
works at the Cascades to operate the
locks on Thanksgiving day, theTntiS
Mountaineek, possibly was rather
unjust in its criticisms. It appears
from evidence now at hand that it is
gates when the temperature is low,
hence tbe officials in charge of the
works were only acting with good
judgment In keeping the gates closed.
It appears that Lieut. Morris is using
every endeavor to keep the canalr &nd
locks in the best possible working or

involved in domestic troubles, going
from bad to worse, finally coming to

he moved to the Umatilla Indian reser

A Marrow Escape.
Tuesday J. D. Thomas had a nar
row escape from death while working
under a bank of rock and earth near
Seufert Bros.' cannery. In some man
ner the earth above became loosened
and came down with a. crash before
Mr. Thomas could get out of the way.
He straightened up and hugged as
close as possible to the back, and as
tbe mass came down it cut the clothing
off his body, though he escaped un
hurt. Had Mr. Thomas been a little
more corpulent he would-' have .been
seriously hurt.
