Letter from the Philippines.
sARAvIA, NEGRos, Feb. IS, 1eo


Dsar Father and Azof4es,- Il received
your two letters dated December Is and
p on 25th January. They made pretty
quick trip, did they not?
1 never had thought of the tediousness
and trials Of the ocean voyage until you
mentioned them, and L missed them en-
tireIy Every thing was so novel and in
teresting and many things each
day and each hour to observe and reflect
upon, that The trip. long the diane
ter of the earth, was ended before I was
fully aware.
The only warfare we have here is of
the guerrilla variety There never was
much war on Negros, tie people on
this island voluntarily surrendered to the
first Americans who landed here. Now
our common enemy are the Ladrones. pi-
rates. robbers, bandits, guerrillas, fight
ing the natives just quick they
would fight us-quicker, for they don't
fancy fighting Americans little bit.
You know we have to patrol the roads
leading to the mountains. I mean. not
only the roads but the whole country be-
tween the mountains and the plains on
W hich the inhabitants live, and they are
as hostile to the Ladrones a we be,
but their arms have been stolen from them
by tho noble Aguinaldo government, so
some very rich boys, five of them about
16 TO 10 years old, whose parents and
other relatives living Gear our quarters,
arc very wealthy, and these young men
are just as good friends as / have found
anywhere, upon short acquaintance.
Well, these boys go with us on our pa
trolls and scouts, night or day, and with
out such help we would be almost Ia o
good at all, for. after leaving the hacien-
das and rice fields in the direction of the
mountains, one encounters the foothills
and spurs, and of all the double and
twisted ground that ever a human travel
ed over, these do take the cake.
Through the help of our good friends
in this work have had the good luck to
have Is or 20 good healthy (for us) scraps
and to capture about 800 of the mig
gars.''
There has never been a death on this
island at the hands of the natives.
The johnson boys are the island of
Cebu, on which Col. McClernand has his
headquarters.
We have three monkeys, two dogs and
a large cage full of parrots and birds of

Well, it's about mess-time so I'll close.
Good bye.

Locomotives on Southern California
Read Use OH Exclusively.

All the locomotives which are in service
OF the Southern California road, are now
burning off for fuel The Southern Cali
fornia, is a part of the Santa Fe system,
and tends from Bartstow to National
City, and inclusive of its branches, is
about 600 miles in length.
For several years, the burning of oil in
the locomotives of the Southern Califor-
mia road, has been experimental with,
and has proved very successful. Not only
does the oil make excellent fuel. but
there are many featurrs about the of
the oil that recomend it in this respect.
Most important among these is its cheap
ness andthe large quantity of the oil TO
be found in California.
The main oil wells from which the
Southern California road proeures its oil,
are located al Fullerton and i'll addition,
there are others in numerous places along
the line of the road The oil is used in
its crude state, and makes very hot fire.
The locomotives which burn this oil
| for fuel. are equipped especially for this
purpose The space in the tender usually
used for coal, is converted into tank to
hold the supply of oil Pipes lead from
| this oil tank to the fire box of the loco
motive, " here the oil Is forced out in a
spray and burned. Unlike most fuel,
there is little smoke dirt from
| the buriIiag oil, and as result the en-
gfneer and fireman can keep themselves
scrupuIously clean. while on their rum It
is not infrequent to see the engine men
wearing white starched shirts and collars.
with the rest of their clothes to match.
Ii is said that some of the men upon
various occasions, have attired them
selves IN dress suits, while doing their
work.

New Kansas Industry.

Topeka, April "a fake story sent
from here TO an Eastern paper few days
ago may result in the creation of a market
for prairie dog skins. The fake referr q
to was purported to be an interview with
Governor Stanley in which, he told how
prairie dogs were destroying the range
and cr>ps in Western Kansas, The
governor is quoted as saying:
s.The prairie dog question is getting to
be serious one among the farmers and
stockmen of Western Kansas. The time
was when the prairie dogs were confined
to the Smoky Hill valley, but now they
have spread all over the western part of
the state. They are increasing at an
alarming rate and unless some thing is
done to check them there won't be enough
grass left to feed grasshopper- Cattle
lands are not the only property suffering.
The dogs are destroying many acres of
crops every year"
a. M. Eisenberg, a New York port
er of furs aud skins, read the fake. He
then addressed letter to the governor,
received here to-day, which reads:
Il would suggest that the people in
Western Kansas set traps to catch prairie
dogs. The dogs can be caught easily.
Furs of all kinds very high and if
prairie dog skins can be shipped to New
York, 1 believe it viii pay the trappers
big money. 1 would like to have a
sample. Then 1 could fix price for this
kind of sAins.'
| The governor had never seen the fake
referred 10, nor had he ever been inter
viewed on the subject. Although there
are a lot of prairie dogs in Western Kan
sas, they are doing no particular damage.
They are rot even plentiful as they
were few years ago. But the letter
from the New York firm interested the
governor, nevertheless He says it may
be the means of creating a market for
prairie dog skins and he viii correspond
with some Western Kansas parties and
suggest that they take mp the matter with
MIR. Eisenberg, with view TO establish
ing new industry for the benefit of the
/ Western Kansas people.
