VIM G.. GREGG AND COLONEL
M'CANDLESS ON PORTO RICO
An interesting Description of One OF Uncle
SANS New Possessions---Both an Educa-
tiona and Property Test for Voters.

william c. Gregg, of the Gregg
seager company, has just returned
from a trip through Porto Rico with
Colonel McCandless of Honolulu.
Mr.. Gregg's notebook is full of inter
asting data and his camera caught in
terestfng views for him. He met IN the
island Governor Hunt. formerly OF
Montana. and General Elliot of the in
+arior department. From these men,
other officials and natives he gained
comprehensive idea of Porto Rico re-
construction. Mr.. Gregg had the prlvll-
eye of being with Governor Hunt Wheh
the first Spanish officials to visit the
island since the war were presented
and began arrangements for Spanish
consular service. The effects OF the
ereat hurricane Immediately following
the American occupation are still no
ticeable. An unusual haze was in the
atmosphere and red spots at sunset
, touched the zenith as result OF the
Aruption of Mont Pelee, 200 miles away
Vt was to Mr. Gregg an interesting
hit of information that Porto Rlcar
cities. with the exception of fortified
san Juan. were built several miles in
/ land to guard against attacks o.
pirates.

was held In the Normal School, Prof.. /,
Scott made some valuable suggestions
regarding the exhibit, which, If follow
ed would tend to increase the interest
of the mainlanders who view 1t.
Prof. Scott believes that the greatest

an historical exhibit, and 1t would APP

A coNTENTED PEOPLE.

The thing that stands out most con-
spicuously in Porto Rico. is the con
ment of the people and their UNIFORM
acouiescence in the government or the
Americans It is a long road from
negro and Spanish tropical incidence
and habits to the American STANDARD
of enterprise and integrity. The Porto
Ricans are merely taking their hrS1
stems. One of these is TO send their
Young men to college in the Unlteu
states Between 800 and 400 are now
being educated here. They are selecteu
on account of intellectual promise. Two
hundred are partially supported by the
island government, assisted through
scholarships in the American colleges
and by American philanthropists.
A second step was to accommodate
themselves to American money. rms
