Mountain Lions Killing Wild Colts. Mountain lions are assisting the Stockmen of southern Utah in reducing the herds of wild horses which roam the ranges. It is reported that the lions have considerably diminished the herds by devouring the colts. Young colts seem to be choice morsels for the wild beasts, and it is said that not ever fifty colts escaped the lions this season on the Bouldor, Thousand Lakes and Fish Lake mountains. The lions seem to prefer the colts to lambs and calves, and since there have been a great many colts born on the ranges during the last few years the beasts of prey have almost ceased to molest the offspring of sheep and cattle. As the lions are not much hunted and have ready actress to choice food they have been increasing in numbers rapidly and threaten to become a great menace to stockmen, especially when the wild horses begin to grow scarce. Down in Kane county the horses have about deserted the haunts tho lion are increasing so fast that the stockmep have recently decided upon their extermination. A prominent etockman just up from the south says that with this means employed. the depredations of the lions and the starving to death in hard winters the wild horse bands of southern Utah will soon become a thing of the past.?Rocky Mountain News.

Tasker Bliss, the United States army officer, detailed as collector of customs at Havana, was before the ways and means committee concerning the Cuban reciprocity. In opening his statement he disclaimed authority as a sugar expert and said his knowledge was confined to that of an observer for three years in an official position. dealing with the trade of Cuba. This had led him to hope that if there was any change in the tariff it would be such an adjustment as would throw into the hands of the United States the large amount of Cuban trade now taken by foreign countries. Speaking fiist of the condition of the Cuban industry, he said it was greatly depressed. The leading Havana banks were refusing further credits to the sugar planters, and when this occurred it was a sure evidence of the distress of tho plantations. He roughly estimated the sugar industry of the island at $200,| 000,000 and said about three-fourths | of the people were dependent in one ! wav or another on the sugar indus j try. Chairman Payne asked Col. Bliss, j to specify what advantages the United States could gain from Cuba and Mr. Payne also called attention to the low tariff rate Cuba imposed against the United States. Col. Bliss said the average ad valorem rate was about 21 per cent, j and he presented tables, designed to show how a tariff readjustment could throw practically all of the Cuban trade into the hands of American producers. At present, he said, Cuba bought $Gt>.000,000 of which the Uni-j ted States furnished $28,475,000, and the balance of about $37,000,000 came from foreign countries. On many articles such as fresh beef, railroad iron and other specified articles, the United States had a practical monopoly I of the trade. But on many oth^r ar' tides, totaling about $45,000,000 the United States had but $10,000,000 of the trade. "By a reasonable modification of the Cuban tariff," said Col. Bliss, "at least fcii per cent, of this trade can be thrown to the United States." He submitted a list of articles on which a differential of about 3.1 per cent, favorable to the United States as against other foreign countries would give us the trade. In reporting on this to the war department the condition had been Imposed upon him not to reduce the revenue of Cuba. Under such circumstances, he thought I It would oe necessary 10 ursi raise Cuba's tariff rates, for purposes of, revenue, ami then with a sufficient differential to give the United States the control of the trade. This he put forward only tentatively as one of several plans proposed to the war department. The members of the committee questioned Col. Miss on the details of the proposed readjustment In the course of the examination Representative Ncwlands of Nevada suggested that without our political control of Cuba there might be servile labor to compete with American labor. He added: ' "Are the Cuban peopl? prepared to come into political relations with the United States?" "I think a groat majority of the Cubans are ready to ccnie in." Col. Bliss replied "As a Territory or as a State?" asked Mr Newlands "They would be glad to come in as a State or a Territory, or under the millitary authority, almost in anv v.av ' in order to come under the authority, of the United States" "If invited to com? in first as a Territory, then as n State, would this be accepte-.l?" j "I think it would" Continuing on this topic Col RIlss j Raid h" thought commercial union : with Cuba would nostoone political ! union Personallv he was not convinced of the wisdom of annexation. The feeling in Cuba was one of readiness to accept anv conditions the United States might impo>?. Louis Place and Mr. Me.ndoza of th? Cuban delegation were heard briefly. Two Selected Atlanta, (la..

Wonderful progress In tho advancement of agriculture and the building up of tho live stock industry has been made in the South Atlantic States during the past twenty years. From old line, strictly planting states, this vast section has grown until it is now more or less devoted to diversified fanning, live stock, breeding, feeding and trucking. Especially during the past ten years has great progress been made in these several branches of ! work, and the result is seen in a much I better condition of the agricultural i population. The people make their food J largely at home, and raise planting | crops, such as cctton and truck, as ' surplus or money crops. Every year I shows a distinct advance in this work, j and with every advance the condition j of the farmer is improved. Trucking : is now a great industry on the whole of the Atlantic border, from New Jer- i sey to Florida, and millions of dollars | are brought into the several states every year from the northern and western maraets ior ine prouucis ui these farms.?The Epitomist Is the bibulous Kentucky colonel a myth?
