From far Off LugOn

TUGUEGARo, CAGAYAN PROVINCE,
April -, 1900.
Travelling in Luzon's northern wilds
is a never-endtng succession OF eXper-
fences, always strange and more or
less startling hnd amusing. Way up
in these grand old mountains are
hundreds OF little villages whose
simple inhabitants know nothing of
what is going on beyond the next hill,
and who, happy people, care less.
Among them are old and grizzled
oraoles who know not their own ages
but who remember having seen and
talked with white men-Spainards-
in the long, long ago, aud they have
traditions in which priests and crosses
and war and beads and pray ers figure
conspicuously. In several places l
have seen rude crosses, and in one
house, or savage abode, a battered and
crippled image of Christ was retained
as a handy and useful relic, Each
village has its head men or local rul-
ers, who rank first, second, third. and
so on, and who, beside their home
grown, spun and manufactured
breech clOuts, sport canes of various
designs and marks TO denote their
various ranks. Their government
seems to be a purely fraternal one
with man at the head who is called
Presidente. He is the father of the
village or a group Of ranches as they
are termed, and his word passes with
out any question. His cane is always
the most elaborate and generally pos
sesses a silver head. Besides this he
has a coat, sometimes two, and hat,
which he adorns his person ON state
or solemn occasions. His house is al
ways the largest; he does the enter
tanning, and whenever our party
wanted men or wood or water or cocoa
nuts, word from the Presidente
would send a whole village to our as.
sistance. Many times pay was refused
for such services, and then the only
way he had of getting even was to
present his fraternal nibbs with q
cartridge shell, a few beads or a piece
OF cloth. The average Cagayan would
barter his soul for couple of car
tridges to wear in the lObes of his ears
and an empty shell tor q cigar holder.
His money Is rloe aud tobacco. He
would give all he has and all he can

Scholars Shy ON Posterity.

The Topics Man on the Kansas City
Journal notes remarkable aud de.
plorable condition which confronts
the educated classes of the state. He
saye: After the fifteen graduates of
he high school at lola had delivered
their little pieces, one of them read a
"class prophecy" in which she de-
picted the eocial and material position
each one would occupy at the end of
twenty years. Some were great actors
or authors or educators, which is not
at all improbable, and the most of
them were happily married. But
here we must note one of the most un-
natural and improbable conceptions
that was ever had of Kansas matri-
mony. Though years and years have
elapsed not single couple is credited
with baby.

we were ON the trail, our forced aug

down. The valley was at last
reached and we stood on the brink of
a rushing, whirling, roaring torrent
of mad and foaming waters We
crossed-the brown men like duck S
the white men like cum oersome logs
We scrambled up on the other side
and, gods, what a prospect An un-
broken ocean of waving grass, fringed
on the north, east aud west with
mountains that poked their heads
high in the clouds, and on the south
stretching away till it met and blend
ed with the pale blue of heaven. For
miles we followed narrow path
through grass that completely covered
the brown men. Multiplied thous.
ands of acres of sugar land, coffee
land, pasture land; of rice, tobacco
and hemp land; land that would re-
quire no. .fertilizing, no irrigation, no
clearing; absolutely unoccupied and
unused. The mountain sides as steep
rs rents in Manila, were terraced
with infinite toll and trouble, and irri
! gated with water brought many miles
in bitches that wind around crags and
| peaks, Yet here was enough land of
the very finest kind to support a
mighty commonwealth. Fresh meat
in Ma-ila is 81 90 Mex. per pound; !;
here was unutilized pasturage Tor the

The County Normal.

lola cannot afford to pretend TO be
indifferent to tue county normal for
several reasons. In the first place
the normal students will spend here
in town not cent less than $1,000
during their stay, and this money
will go directly to the people who
board and lodge the teachers.
Furthermore, if the teachers spent
never cent here, they should be
welcome, for they represent the best
of our citizenship, the class that inn
proves itself aud others. The majOri-
ty of these teachers have worked and
struggled against difficulties and
yearly improve tht mselves at this
normal instead of spending their far
from muniticient saleries ON pleasure
tripe. The mOst of them are qualified
to occupy higher and better positions,
but the public profits by the over
production which compels them to
stay in the old places. They are a
happy, spirited, courageous crowd,
live good lives, set good examples
and exert good Influences. They
should be welcome in every home and
the people of lola should make an
effort to make their six weeks stay
here each year so pleasant for them
that they would look forward to its
recurrence Extend to the teachers
the glad hand, whenever and wher-
ever you meet them.

Fish Story From Big Creek.

Somebody from Elsmore dropped
into the Register Office recently with
fish story from Big Creek that
sounds professional. 1t seem that
Fred Samp, the ranch owner, owns a
large part of Big Creek and he has
prohibited all fishing. Recently a
young man appeared at Samp's hou Sc
with story of having found suit of
clothes ana two empty bottles on the
creek bank and believing that some-
one was drowned. Samp ordeed a
search, willing young men "happen.
ed" at hand and suggested seining
the creek for the body. They found a
sein with suspicious ease, but this
fact was overlooked at the time. All
hands helped drag the best part of
the creek and a mighty fine layout of
fish were taken. About this time 1t
was noticed that the clothes had dis
appeared, and the willing helpers,
feeling sure that the suppose drowned
man had recovered and taken his
clothes, divided the catch of fish and
declared the search off. Mr.. Samp
was given no fish and now he is on
the war path after the jokers who put
up the job on him.

1t seems that Mr.. Hashagen had
left Sites on Saturday evening
with a light wagon loaded with
express. Where the body was
found the front wheel of the wagon
had gone into deep rut and it
being dark it is supposed this

and causing instant death. He
had fallen upon the lines with the
robes wrapped about his feet and
the team stood quietly in the road
until found the next morning. A
number of papers and $175 in
money was found in his pockets.
The body was brought to his home
in this city aud the funeral took
place from his residence at ten
O'Clock a. m. Tuesday.
Geo. w. Hashagen was born in
Germany in 1916, and came to
America when but child and
locating on Camas Prairie in the
early COS. For number of
years he engaged in freighting into
the mines and afterwards located
on a farm about three miles from
Grangeville. In February, 1890
he was married to Allie Eller, and
three children, two daughters and
a son were born to them, all oil
which survive him. About two
years ago he moved into town aud
bought large livery stable which
he has successfully managed
since.
Mr.. Hashagen was honest in.
dustrious and generous, and in all
the trials incidental to the devel-
opment of a new country he has
proven himself a good rNighbol
and true friend. The family has
the sympathy of the entire com

ment.
