To the patrons Of the La Junta
Water Works:

To the patrons Of the La Junta
Water Works:
Owing to the scarcity OF water
in our city well and river, its nat.
ural supply. the city council feel
duty bound to call the consumers
attention to the fact that serious
problem OF supplying necessary
water now confronts us, and for
that reason the council has determ-
ined to ask the consumers to modi-
fy the irrigation hours. All those
consumers living west OF the cen
ter line Of Santa Fe avenue are
allowed to use water for irrigation
between the hours OF 6 O'Clock and
7 o'clock a. M, and o'clock and
7 o'clock p. m. Those consumers
living east Of the center line OF
Santa Fee avenue are allowed to
use water for irrigation between
the hours OF 7 O'Clock and 8
o'clock a. M. and 7 o'clock and 8
o'clock p. m. We have made ar
rangements with the electric light
plant whereby they will blow the
"Curfew" whistle upon changing
hours. II is hoped the patrons
will abide by this new rule until
our critical time has past. We
trust all patrons will also be as
careful and economical as possible
in the use Of water for whatever
purpose. and in every way avoid
unnecessary waste.

PHILIPPINE ISLANDS, r
June as. 1909.
My last letter consisted chiefly
OF an extract from my journal.
dated September 79th, describing
some OF the events OF my FIRST
three days in Basey. In this letter
shall make further extracts from
the same source.
Sunday. October I3, 1901
Two weeks have passed. We be-
gan our school work on Monday,
September goth. II had previous
ly been decided by us that Latson
was to take the maestros and boys,
and the maestras and girls. There
are now about eighty boys aud I25
girls. Neither the teachers nor
pupils can speak English. and all
our time is spent in trying toteach
them to do SO. We 60 to the
school at eight in the morning.
The first two hours are devoted to
the pupils, and the third hour to
the teachers. We have no school
from II to ago. and the afternoon
session lasts until S o'clock. the
last hour being devoted to the
teachers want to force the
teachers along as rapidly as pos
sible, for il they can become able
to teach in English, my own work
can be made much more systemat-
ic. They are doing very well. and
feel that l know about how to
proceed with them. The same is
true OF the more advanced pupils,
also, but the problem is how to
divide my time to the best advan
tage among the younger children.
and what kind OF work or exer-
cises to give them. So far, l
have been able to give only object
and action words; and as they do
not understand Spanish. and are
not old enough to understand very
much OF anything. ! presume that
is the best thing can do.
On Thursday morning, October
10th. Just as was preparing to go
to school, | heard an unearthly
shrek, and the sound OF many
running feet. got to the window
Just in time to see the last Of the
pupils making their exit from the
school building. The streets were
full OF people, and the soldiers
were rapidly arming themselves
and taking a defensive position.
II was learned that an alarm had
been given, warning the people
that ladrones were in town and
were about to make an attack.
There seemed to be no truth in the
latter part Of the rumor, but we
had no school that day. Ladrones
had been in town a night or two
before. however. and the police
had given the alarm. The soldiers
all were up and armed, bur no
attack was made. The captain
says that il an attack is made. he
thinks that it will be made by
day, rather than by night.
"The remnant Of Company c
has taken quarters here. and l
understand that the company will
be recuited up and officered again.
This may not be done immediate
ly, however, for understood that
the whole Ninth regiment will be
ordered to the states soon. Still,
should be glad il it could be
done while the company is 10
Basey, for want all possibility Of
attack removed, 50 that in our
school work we can have some
thing definite to count on. For. it
seems almost certain that il any
thing Is allowed to take place here

"The captain tells US that the
native teachers are becoming
anxious about their pay; and they
have good reason. for the town
has no money. hope that some
thing can be done for them, for l
feel that they can be Of great ser
vice, once they have gotten q start

Friday. November 4. 1907
The maestrss found il necessary
to stop teaching until such time as
they can be paid. They have.
however, continued to come for
instruction 10 English. School
work is progressing well. consid-
ering all the distraeting circum-
stances.
"a week ago 6 company and c
company OF the 9th infantry were
relieved here by two companies Of
marines. Two other companies Of
marines were sent to Balang,ga.
The battalion is commanded by
Major L. w. T. Waller. with
headquarters at Bssey. The two
companies here Immediately took
possession Of the school buildings,
with the promise that the latter
would be vacated in time for school
on the following Monday. that day
being Friday. We thus had an
enforced vacation.
"On Saturday mornin g the two
companies Of infantry left for
Calbayoe. 1t seems that from
that place they are to take part in
an expedition into the interior OF
the island, the object being to To-
cate and capture General Lucban.
the insurrecto leader. This is TO
be the decisive campaign; and rs
about 1900 men are to engage in
it-so near-there is hope that
the insurrection may soon be de-
stroyed. root and all.
.ln the meantime, the marines
at Bssey will guard the town and
send out expeditions into the i'm.
