La Retreta de anoche

La banda de la Policia Insular diri-
,gida por ell maestro don Francisco
Verar, dejo su pabellon bien alto, mu-
cho mas de 10 que estaba y para con-
vencerse de clio solo bastaba yer el
|escogido y selecto programa con que
nos obsequio anoche.
Dio principle al concerto con la ma
gistral E imponente marcha "The Stars
and Stripes forever" de 7. Sousa q
quien Sc llama en- el Norte America
"El Rey de las marchas" por serese rit-
mo su especialidad.
Siguio a la marcia en- ell orden del
programa la sinfonfa de la opera "Gui-
llermo Tell en- la que los primeros
co1~pases Sc reconoce la personalidad
de su immortal autor Joaquin Rossini.
Las parties componentes de esa pro-
ducci6n tienen I'm alto valor melodico,
y, ademas TN desarrollo tai, que no
puede exig1rsele mayor, dertro del
tempo a que tiene necesidad de eiecu
tarse por la naturaleza de la misma.
Fue ejecutada con I'm acierto v una
exactitud admirable sobre todo en- su
tiempo de "doS por cuatro" (allepro
vivace) que resulta de gran difcultad
su ejecuci6n para los clarinetes. Ali
nos demostro Aginzony, 10 que va he
dlcho yo varias y repetidas veces, que

No me duelen prendas Y asf como
cito con entusiasmo el exito de las de-
mas piezas, no puedo decir 10 nlismo
con la serenata "Fair Florida. Mi
opinion es que es de I'm estilo bastante
vulgar.
En- cambio, para borrsr la impression
/ que me produjera la serepata, basto
la Interpretation del cuarto n11rnero
que fguraba en- el programa: la escena
aria y duo de tipe y tenor de la opera
'Traviata" de Verdi fue tan excelente
y tan acabada, que aun hoy, 4 pesar
del tempo transcurrido, me acuerdo
de ella.

ligereza injusta, que los conner
Ciantes son los que estaD Obliga-
dos a sacar a la agriculture del
estado en- que Sc encuentra, dan
do asi a ntcnder que tienen la
culpa deloque pasa; que la ruina
agricola que estamos padeciendo,
es sipo culpa completa de los CO.
meFciantes, una COnsecuencia de
.sus procedimientos. Porque no
Sc comprende de otra manera
que Sc exprese el colega en- esa
forma. Los comerciantes, dice,
estan obligados a salvar la Agri-
cultura. ST, en- efecto. Como to-
do el mundo; es decir, como to-
dos los que viven en- Ell pals; Ell
gobierno inclusive, que no ha
hecho NADIA para protejer a los
agricultores.
ST los comerciantes no hubie-
sen respetado la gran desgracia
de los agricultores; 81, agenos a
las consideraciones que han te-
nido con estos, hubiesen proce-
dido de manera distinta, mas ne
gra atm seria la suerte de los
agricultores, la situacion de la
agriculture. Interesado, casi
tanto como estos, esta ell conner
clio en- que Sc levante la produc-
cion del pals. Que 81 existen ca
pitales de importancia ilnpro-
ductivos y anulados por la ca
rencia de I'm mercado fuerte y
seguro para el cafe, es ;gual-
mente cierto que los comerc1an-
tes tienen grandes sumas, que
no han intentado rescatar, inte-
resadas en- las propiedades y ne
gocios agricolas.
Ahora Sc ha despertado una
Corriente salvadora de la agri-
cultura, I'M interes general fa-
vorable por todos conceptos al
pals. Los comerciantes han
contribuido, como el que mas, a
que haya tenido el exito que
hasta ahora tiene; los conner
ciantes Sc han desvivido por Sos
tener a la production puertorri-
quefla, sinO un mercado venta-
joso, porque ESQ no les era dado
conseguirlo, alguna salida.
Los cOmerciantes han eSta-
do siempre propicios a secun-
dar todo movimiento a favor de
+ la riqueza agrfcola, y transigir
con las situaciones mas invero-
SMILES, procediendo con la con-
sideraci0n que Sc merecen cier.
tamente los agricultores; pero
que nadie podia imponer a

Birds Plant Trees.

An old Arizona woodchopper says
the bluejays have planted thousands
of the trees now growing all over Ari
zona. He says these birds have a hab
it of burying small seeds in the grounc
with their beaks, and that they fre
quent pinon trees and bury large mum
bers of the small pine nuts in the
ground, many Of which sprout and
grow. He was walking through the
pines with an eastern gentleman a
short time ago, when one of these
birds few from a tree to the ground,
stuck his bill in the earth and quickly
few away. When told what had hap
pened the eastern man was sceptical;
but the two went to the spot and with
knife blade dug out a sound pine
nut from depth of about an inch and
a half. Thus it Till be seen that ma
ture has her own plan for forest per-

The Secretary OF the Interior il
on tour of inspection of the coun
try occupied by about 80, 900 of his
wards, besides near 400, 900 other
people who are not wards. WhsI
is the object of Mr.. Hitchcock i
visit and what does he wish to see
and hear. If he desires to get in
closer touch with the Indians and
TO study their condition, desires,
rights and general advancement
from savage to a civilized peo-
pie, he should meet the people
themselves and not be content
with hearing from coterie Of of.
fee holders whose main ambition
is to prolong their jobs. The In
dians of the FIVE tribes IN this ter
ritory are engaged in working out
one Of the great problems Of twen-
tieth century civilization the trans
formation of Indian tribes from
a fishing, hunting, nomadic race
to place in the highest civiliza-
tiOn and enlightenment of any
people in any age.
Let the Secretary not forget that
the people in whom his interest
will doubtless center while on his
friendly sojourn here, have but
recently assumed the ways Of the
cultured and educated white peo-
pie he will meet, were genera
tion or two removed, painted saw
ages living by the chase, and that
where we are now surrounded with
all that exhalts and embelishes
civilized life, few short years
ago were in the midst of an un-
broken wilderness, the home Of
the frontiersman and scout, the
coyote and the buffalo.
