and that the habits Of the lower classes
even In the great city Of Manila, with
It's $1,000 people. are sIckening In the
city the Chinese are the pivot upon which
business turns. They do all the trading
and bear all the burdens Of state. They
care not who may assume management
Of the islands so long as they are per-

an Of which were formerly occupied by
the Spanish. Admiral Montejos former
palace Is a magnificent structure and
contains many beautiful carvings. In
some Of the finest buildings the timbers
have been hewed with the adj, there b..
Ing no sawmills. Ebony carvings, which
would bring fancy prices In this country,
can be bought for a song in Manila. Dr.
Walker has a cane which he bought on
the streets Of Manila for 80 cents that
could not be made in America for 20
times that amount. The cane ls OF ebony
and the handle represents the head OF
the typical Filipino. The carving Is
masterpiece and Is highly priced by DR..
Walker The doctor says he saw piece
Of lumber In Manila about five feet wide
and 20 feet In length in which there was
not a flaw. The wood Is very hard and
It Is almost Impossible to make any I'm
precision on It even with the sharpest
knife. Among the most valuable artlclea
brought home by DR.. Walker are num-
Der OF maps, some Of which were used
by the Spanish. One Of the maps was
published in the Oregonian yesterday.
The other maps are from official draw

DR. Walker are the only ones In America.
