LUNCH AT PUMA.
Returning from the Puma meeting,

at the home of Manager Campbell of
Puma plantation. The remaining mem

guest being served with dainty deli

was at Mountain View, where the
Governor was met by party of Rus
sian homesteaders with a petition.
They wanted new road to connect
with the homesteads, Mr. Weirziski
making a speech in behalf of the
members Of the colony, in presenting
the petition. The memorial also signi-

only citizen labor employed on the
road contract.
From Mountain View the party went
on to Buffalo. or Is Miles, Olaa, where
the Governor was met by a party of
native hornesteaders headed by Sena-

meeting scheduled to take place was
necessarily very brief and to the point. |
The native homesteaders were also |
anxious about roads and presented a |
petition TO, have work begin immedi- !
ate1y. There is some question here as
TO whether the road should be built in |
the center of the homestead tract or |
whether it is 10 skirt one OF the outer |
edges and connect with the main road |
in that way.
After drive through the Olaa plan |

presided at a reception given at Olaa |
club house. The ball room had been
with ferns and flowers, a
huge bunch of roses and lilies forming |
a center piece which hung from the
ceiling At one end of the hall was
painted a large American eagle. The
abuilding also had been specially illu-
minated for the occasion, incandescent
globes being suspended Sin every avail
able place about the hall and upon the
anais. The Governor greeted several
hundred people here. and afterward
met several hundred plantation labor
ars who had gathered about the hall,
anxious for a glimpse of the execu-
tive. The Governor also met many Of
the Porto Ricans, and talked with
them through an Interpreter.
