Jasper County Democrat, Volume 8, Number 24, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 9 September 1905 — GOING TO CUBA. [ARTICLE]

GOING TO CUBA.

As a result of a quiet movement inaugurated last week by some of our townsmen, a half dozen or more are planning to go to Cuba next month to look into a land proposition made by a Mr. D. E. Kerr, of Chicago. The land is in the province of Santaigo, and consists of 16,000 acres which is being disposed of at $12.50 per acre. Most of it is now covered with valuable timber, such as mahogany, sabicou, juiqui, and a number of others just as valuable. Some 2,000 acres have already been disposed of here, provided that the land is found to be as represented.
