ILOS IRIbUNiLES
La Union ha formulado una acu-

La U71s07a ha fOrmuladO una acu-
saci6n gravisima.
En- una de sus recientes ediciones
afrma que La Correspoaade,acsa es
un peri6dico atilsado al partido Sc
a,a,'ottsta de Puerto Rico.
Ha medido bien La Uat6ra el
alcance de sus palabras :? / Sabe 10
que signifca enormidad semejante p?
! Esta segura de 10 que dice ?
En- primer lugar, ell procedimien-
to, empleado como arma de combate,
es incalificable, no tiene nombre, es-
ia en- alberta pugna con todos los
fueros del companerismO.
Luego La Coa'respondeaacia nome
rece cargo de tanta monta. En- su ca
racter de peri6dico independence ha-
ce mas, mucho mas por los intereses
de Espana en- esta region de America,
one otros voceros que blasonan de
espanoles y perjudican q la patrla
con sus intranslgenclas.
Pero no es este 10 mas grave.
Lo mas grave es que, segdn el
dicho de La Union, en- Puerto Rice
hay separatistas organlzados.
De aquf resulta, implicitamente,
una tremenda censura contra el Co
bernador y la Audiencia territorial
que vienen tolerando, desde hace
cuatro amos, la publication ell una
provincial espanola de un periodlcC
adepto al separatismo.
DE aqui resulta que La Union
pone la cartilla en- la mano a las
autoridades que nos gobiernan y
que traducen, en- actos de Justlcla,
el espiritu de las leyes.
No, 81 ESQ fuera clerto, los que man
dan hubieran cumplido va con su
deber, La Coawespoaade'tcia no
existiria, y no hubiera obtenido tam
POGO la popularidad y la aceptaci6n
que hoy tlene.
sDonde esta ese partldo separa-
tista? iQui6nes son los rebeldes
liable La Union. Concrete Lo
Union. Denunclas de esa indole
Sc prueban inmedlatamente, Sc de-
muestran con datos lrrecusables
En- cuestiones de integrldad y dc
patriotismo no son admlslbles las
medias tintas.
ST es cierto que en- esta lsla exlstt
un foco insurrecto, todos debemos
cooperar q que desaparezca, no s0lc
porque es un peligro para la ma
ci0n, sino tamblen, porque arroJs
una mancha sobre nuestra tradicloI
historical de adhesion y de tideli-
dad a los poderes patrios.
Cumplenos, pues, lamar la aten-
cl0n de los trlbunales hacla la de-
nuncia de La Unson, para que ls
yerdad resplandezca pura y dlafa-
ma, sin nubes, sin sombras.
Y 81 esa denuncia es incierta; 81
no es verdad que en- Puerto Rico
haya un grupo refractarlo a nues-
tras lnstltuclones y a nuestra ban
dera; 81 la Erase es hija de un mo-
mento de irretexion, 8 de un rasgC
de apaslonamlento, calga el rlgOr
de Ia Ley sobre tales oemasias de
Ia lengua y de la pluma.
No asi como asi Sc alarma la
opinion, y Sc empanan con Ell vaho
de la calumnla los llmplos anales
de todo TN pueblo.

On hand. The people on the island have

ment of assessments and to quiet title

The estimate lately given out by
lCcal paper of 70,377 acres sown to barley
and 81 ,4S1 acres to wheat in this county
this season Is thought by many of the
best judges to be at least 10000 acres
short on barley and 900 on wheat. 1t
is thought that not less than 10000
acres in both barley and wheat Is a
liberal estimate. This information is
gathered from responsible ranchers in
different portions of the county. The
yield per acre. from all appearances, will
be the largest for many years. Eight
sacks per acre is an average In an or
dinary year. Taking this for an average
this season there will not be less than
100000 sacks of grain to market from
this county. An average of 81 per sack
would bring into the county not less
than 81. 900 000

ONTARIO
Growing Demand for a High School = Soeis1
and Personal

ONTARIO, March 13.-The question Of
the establishment Of a high school in
Ontario Is being somewhat discussed.
The friends OF the measure claim that II
is an injustice upon the citizens that
they are obliged to go to the expense
of sending their children to ChafYey COL
lege or else deprive them of high
school education. While there Is
doubtless some truth in these statements
1t Is also fact that, in all probabilit
high school here would not receive
sufficient patronage to warrant its es-
tabishment. Most citizens recognize the
advantage that pupils have In attend
ing a first-class preparatory school like
Chaffey, where every teacher Is
trained specialist in his particular
branch Since this Is fact it Is very
doubtful If many students would be
found In high school If one was found
ed. On the other hand, IL high school
were established 1t would probably re-
suit in the closing Of the college, and very
few Ontario citizens would wish for
that state of affairs. 1t seems to be
question of high school and no college
or college and no high school.
