Foraker.s Puerto Rico BIN.

Washington, Jan. s.-Senator For
aker in speaking of his bill for govern
mental provisions for Puerto Rico,
said it did not create territory out OF
the island, nor undertake to give the
island a territorial form of government
in the ordinary understanding of that
phrase adding that it merely provided
a simple form of government, which II
was believed would answer the purpose
until more matured form could be de,
vised. The senator also said that the
bill was intended only as basis for
the committee on Puerto Rico to act

Agent W. j. Pollock.

Washington, Jan. Sit is under
stood that the recent investigation of
w. J. Pollock, agent at the Usage agen-
cy, in Oklahoma, will not lead to his
removal, as has been generally sur
missed. No discriminating evidence was
developed. The conclusions are said
to point to the agents lack of quail
feations for the place rather than to
any violation of law. The matter is in
the hands of Secretary Hitchcock, who
is understood to regard the case as not
sufficiently serious to justify Pollock

SUFFERED FOR WATER.
Censored Dispatches DO Not Give Trui
Pictures.

London, Jan. Correspondents OF
the associated press tell of hardships
which do not appear in cable dis
patches. Here is an instance:
1.-THE men were crowding round the
engines in line offering the drivers
fabulous prices for cup of water"
writes the Globe correspondent, de-
scribing the close of the battle at En-
slim, "but it was useless. The drivers
had been threatened with court mar
tial if they supplied any, as there was
great difficulty in keeping a sufficient
supply for the engines. saw one soil
der lying fat on the line under the
engine catching few drops in his
mouth from steam pipe"
Such extracts as this form the mailed
descriptions of the fighting in South
Africa give some faint idea of the con.
dition under which it is being carried
out. Belated as these letters are by
the time they appear in English pa
pers, they throw much-needed light
upon the condition, so barrenly re.
ported over the censored cables.

able groups of friends to serve in the

customed to tracking big game in un+
civilized countries will be peculiarly

Supporting a newspaper costs q

supporting newspaper costs

paper may be well patronlzed and
the business men spend large sums
of money advertising, the cash very
quickly gets back into the channels
of trade from which 1t came.
Nearly every cent paper gets in IS

the facts are that a newspaper re-

good will.
An exchange pertinently remarks:
"Every newspaper that succeeds
and secures large circulation, tries
to be as fair as possible. A news
paper is never as bad as It's enemies
make 1t. No decent newspaper ever
sells its opinions; it simply could
not afford Honesty pays better.
Mistakes in a newspaper are I'M
avoldable; they are never made in
tentionally and are corrected as
soon as possible. There is no bust
ness in the world more disagreeable,
in some respects, than running a
newspaper, but some men learn
the business while young and can do
little else. Every editor realizes
his unpopularity; every man who
goes into the newspaper business
must do so with the understanding
that he will be hated by a certain
class who would like to run his bus
mess and their own.

THE SOLAR ECLIPSE.

The Clouds Parted just Long Enough to
Afford a Glimpse at it.
The clouds that obscured the hes-
vens all morning last Monday shut
off the solar eclipse to great extent.
The eclipse is supposed to have been
visible here at 1925, but owing to
cloudiness it was nearly o'clock
before the clouds parted enough
to afford fair glimpse at the unus-
ual phenomenon. At that time the
eclipse was at its highest point, only
about one-sixteenth of the suns cres-
cent being visible.
All hope Of gettinga glimpse at
the eclipse had about been abandon

went around the balance of the day
looking like they had been crying.
The eclipse was on about three
hours. Oakland not being in the
direct line, yet close enough to have
afforded a good view had it not been
cloudy.
The last total eclipse of the sun
visible in the United States occurred
on Saturday, August :, 1868, after 4
O'Clock in the afternoon.
No other eclipse will occur in this
country until June 8, 1918, when a
track will pass from Oregon to Flor
ida, two minutes in duration. An
other will occur in New England,
January "a, 1925. Ecllpses seven
minutes IN duration will occur in In
dia in 1855, and in Africa in 1878,
the longest for thousand years.
