be made up short in weight; that the
packages were not properly labeIed;
that the seed was delivered TWO
months after the time speclhed IN tne
contract and that no penalty was en-
forced and that cheap AMI improper
paper was used.

PORTO RIco's PROGRESS.

Attorney General Harlan Predicts y
Bright Future For the sland.
James S. Harlan, who has been in
Porto Rico the last two years as attor-
ney general Of the island, talks quite
enthusiastically about it's present con-
dition and it's future, according to a
Washington special to the New York
Times. The government is out of debt
and has a surplus in its treasury of
more than 100000.
eff congress will leave Porto Rico
alone for the next twenty years." said
Mr.. Harlan, 1.-The people of the United
States will be astonished at the result.
Porto Rico will be the garden spot of
the country, supporting a well to do
community Of intelligent, peace loving
and patriotic people.
Besides the tariff the insular gov
eminent has established a system of
internal revenue taxes. and the federal
system of taxation has not been ex-
tended to the island, so that every dol
lar collected on the manufacture Of
cigars. cigarettes, rum, spirits and 9TH
er products. which in other parts of the
United States pay a tribute to the fed.
eral treasury. remains with the island
treasury. Il
1.-THE result is that we are enabled to
carry on a system Of government as
complex as any other state or terrific
rial government of the country. AL
though Porto Rico can be classed as
only an agricultural community, we are
| carrying on an elaborate system of
road improvements, opening up new
agricultural lands and inaugurating an
extensive school system. There are
now 1900 schools in the island. In ev-
cry way we are maintaining beneficial
public works such as are carried on in
highly organized communities"

NEW DREDGING METHOD.

The Transport Grant Will Be Used
to Deepen the Columbia.
A new method of dredging harbors
is shortly to be put into execution by
the war department on the Pacific
coast. and something of the kind may
be tried on the Atlantic coast, says a
Washington special to the New York
Times. One of the government trans
ports, the Grant, which is no longer
needed for the transport service, is be-
ing turned into a dredge and is to be
used for cleaning out the mouth of the
Columbia.
At the time this plan was conceived
an attempt was made to get a trans.
port for use on the Atlantic coast, the
idea being to use it at New York and
other points. 1t was found. however,
lantic coast could be spared.
The Grant is being fitted up with
large bins and pumps. The pumps will
suck up the soil and deposit it in the
bins. and the vessel will then steam out
to sea and drop the soil into the ocean.
1t was found that an ordinary dredge
would be of no use at the mouth OF
the Columbia, where the sea is heavier
than at any other point on the coast
The transport will make an idea
dredge in the opinion of the officers
who have charge of the harbor i'm.
provements.
The cost is a great deal less than
that of building an ocean going dredge
The two that are building for New
York will cost about $35O.OOO each
while the work of fitting up the Gran
will cost only about $4,000

Spring Rain.


The cry of the water courses for the
songs of the forest children.
The hint of the freshness of springing
green where the winter drift has lain:
4 hope of the worldwide spaces in the
balm of the winds caresses,
And deep at the heart of the underworld
T. the joy Of the roots in rain.
The SILVER of FLASHING footsteps where
the PUSHES drink and tremble.
The CLINT of the April changing sun or
the drop of leaf held dew;
The joy of the home returning of the
wind winged prairie children
To paths that the, grasses pend above
and the wild things loiter through.
The strength of the horses blowing in the
breath of the meadow grasses.
The subtle sense of the earth astir be-
meath the plownlan's feet:
The hopes Of the hills at even ere the twi-
light lamps dissemble.
The will to be going on and on where
the long. long highways meet.
The world is a world of distance for the
feet of the wildwood children,
the grasses bid them stay;
The near and the far are passions when
the south wind breathes upon them
And all of the rover instincts wake AND
the joys of the dream free way.

colts Magazine For April.
