Prof. Harring On Honduras

At the Unity club Monday eveniDg, among other interesting features, was a "talk" by Prof. M. W. HarriDgton on his last summer's trip to Honduras. He said that Michigan is represented in Honduras in three industries, - lamber, banana growing, and mining. The Michigan lumber company there does the largest business in mahogany, probably, in this country. The Grand Rap:ds banana company 3 very successful. The Calumet and Hecla mining company owns land in Honduras. The mahogany forests are yet new. The trees are very heavy and large : a single slab would make a large table. The banana trade is profitable: the land costs notbing; it costs only $12 to $lö an acre to get a plantation in shape, and in favorable times the profit is $200 per acre. The Spaniards were the first to do mining there, but did not go beyond the water line. When the water is pumped out, the mining can proceed. There is a strong feeling in the island in favor of annexation to the United States. A trip to Honduras is not so expensive as to San Francisco. The climate is healthy: the professor did not find the temperatnre raise above 93 degrees or fall below 65. In the highest parts of the island frosts are unknown.
