LKTTKR FROM CUBA. Full of Interesting Notes Concern ing the Island. Thefollowlni It a letter written to Dr.flnapp, of thlil!ltr,by Aurellus Todd, Chief of Engi neer Corps stationed In Cuba: HOI.QUIN, Cuba Feb., 3 1899. Dear Friend. Yours of the 28th at hand glad to hear from you again and to hear that Cottage Grove and Lcinati again united arc en joying a period of prosperity. Your letter carries me back to the few months I spent there and many pleasant reflections ma terialize on memorys page as I con jure it back into my mind. Many changes have been crowded into the three brief yeafs since I left there and after the many vicissitudes of my checquered career I find myself away down here in Holquin, Cuba, a country though now in ruin aud desolation from the cruel effects of inter mittent wars which reach back even to 151 1 when the blood thirsty Diego Valosquez commenced his iconoclastic career of kingdom building and oppression which has reached down to the present time, and which country still backs in trinsically little to be desired as it approaches so nearly perfection. The climate of Cuba to me is simply lovely. There is no city in Cuba worse in itself for yellow fever than New Orleans nor a sec tion of country worse for malaria than Louisiana and Florida Nearly all the sickness in Cuba re sults from the lack of sanitary modes of living and at present of proper food. As an illustration I will say that while I lived in Ore' gon my regular weight was 155 to 1 60 and below, while I now tip the beam at 175 pounds aud never had better health in my life. It is true there is much malarial fever here but all are easily managed and cured and as before stated are the results of unsanitary conditions which are easily obviated. The products of Cuba are quite varied and consist of all kinds which can be raised in the south part of the United States and many others which cannot be raised there at all owing to the winter frosts which sometimes visits even the extreme south of Florida. Here the orange, banana, pineapple, guava, mango and coffee finds a congenial home and a hundred other fruits and berries while vegetables grow all the year round. An embargo placed on the cultivation of grapes here has stamped the industry entirely out. This embargo is now raised. Figs, cocoa and vanilla do well and the honey bee is busy here all the year. Tobacco ana sugar cane are at present the chief industries but the shipping of hardwood is also one which ranks high among the others. Mangoes here are low and at present difficult to obtain, but this will soou be quite different with the influx of capital which is rapidly turning in this direction. Land is at present very cheap. Sometimes it can be bought for one dollar per acre, excellent land. It is rising very rapidly and is usually in large tracts and in order to get small lots it becomes necessary to buy a large farm and cut it up. The weather here is not a topic of conversation, a man can work 365 days in a year out of doors if he wants to. The rainy season to me is only a bug bear and I enjoy it quite as well as the dry season. The rains come suddenly and rains very fast and hard and stops as suddenly as it commences, lasting seldom more than an hour. The heat here is not more oppressive than the summers of Oregon. Seed time and harvest last practically all the time, as they continue simultaneously for the greater part of the year, only a little while dur ing the dry season people do not plant seeds. Tomatoes, melons, beans, etc., grow all the year. I have eaten water melons and musk melons every month since I have been here. There is practically no small pox in Cuba now, especially the eastern part where I am located and the disease will be effectually stamped out in a very few weeks over the entire island. The social condition of Cuba is deplorable but is a legitimate result of the war which has in reality not ceased to exist for the last 40 years. The laws too are far from what might be desired, but this will soon change with the civilization which will inevitably come in a few years. Hay here is at present unknown on account of the abundance of grass which is green all the year round and a Cuban pony would starve to death at a manger filled with hay and oats' almost before he would learn to eat it Hogs, cattle, chickens and in fact all stock and poultry do as well or better here than anywhere in the United States and prices are now "very high. Game and fish are fairly repre sented but varmints and poisonous reptiles and insects are confined to a few species and harmful, only as bees and yellow jackets are there in Oregon. There is not a venomous snake in Cuba and the largest wild animal, excepting the deer and the wild Spanish dog something like a coyote, is a rat looking animal the size of a cat called a Juntia (Hu-tee-a) which to a hungry man is not unpalatable as I have been able on two occasions to verify while on the march al though under other circumstances I might not relish it. They make the most cunning pets imaginable. In the' spring and summer as you say in Oregon, parrots are every where, alligatorsjare found in a few places in rivers and bays. I could tell you much more of the conditions and customs of this, peculiar people but I have already written you a long letter, but if I have missed anything you would particularly like to know do not hesitate to ask me in your next letter. Yours most truly Aureuus Todd Chief of Engineer Corps. TO TAX PAYERS.
