Speaking of the survey and !

will the citizens Of the town come

towards paying for said survey
and map. or shall the Mayor and
Board of Aldermen be forced to
the extremity of having to levy a
four mill tax on all the PERSONAL

this small amount? We would
suggest that someone start

sixty to meet the total requirements
of six million tons necessary to sup
ply the American demand. In other
words before the Philippines could
injure the market for the other sugar
producing sections now under the
American flag, these islands would
have to supply as much sugar as the
remainder of the whole tropical world
is now producing Although their
possibilities are very great, they will
probably never be able to reach such a
state of development.
At the present time the United States
are spending a dollar for Cuban sugar
for every three cents it spends for this
same product from the Philippines. If
we can encourage this industry with
out impairing the prospects of other re-
gions dependent upon our favor. it
seems there should be no hesitancy in
doing So especially when it means an
other big step toward supplying our
needs and getting the interest on our
money.
COFFEE AND CACAO.
Coffee growing offers one of the best
chances to make money. It is not sur
prising that the Philippines, being
neighbOrS of Java should have great
coffee zone. It is claimed that in fully
two-fifths of the entire area of the
archipelago the facilities for coffee
raising are ideal What this means
may be better understood when it is re-
membered that the single state of Sac
Paulo Brazil, furnishes three-fourths
of the worlds supply of coffee and
that this dirtrict is only a fraction OF
the area in the Philippines which is
capable of producing a better grade.
Seeing tn the United States in the
lea6ing coffee consuming nation, here
is the chance to make ourselves indie
pendent of Brazil, who sells US an in
ferior quality, does not appreciate our
patronage, and begrudes every dollar
she spends with US.
Cacao is a world g staple that can
be grown in only a few places. The
statistics show that fifteen leading
nations are rapidly increasing their
consumption of it, yet the Philippines
are the only tropical region capable
of increasing the supply to an appre
ciable extent. The same amount of
money that would buy five acres OF
orange land in Riverside, California,
will secure a hundred acres of good
orange land in the Philippines and
equip it. 1t is said that this climate

and soil are capable of producing as
good oranges as can be raised in either
California, Florida or Sicily.
Fortunes IN TIMBER.
One of the great resources of the
Philippines is the vast wealth contain
ed in the forests. Almost a thousand
! varieties, including the most valuable
commercial woods have bsan found to
exist in the archipelago 1t is said
there are not less than forty million
acres of valuable timber here. The
first military road built into Mindanao
by the American army was cut through
forest of mahogany and ebony, and
enough of these precious woods are
now rotting along that road to make a
millionaire of anyone who could get
them to the market. In other localities
there are square miles studded with
mammoth trees ten feet in diameter
and 125 feet to the first limb. In the
states a forest showing 5000 feet to
the acre is a fortune, so how valuable
in proportion may be timber land
which in some cases runs as high as
100000 feet to the acre.
The rapid consumption of lumber in
America will soon exhaust our forests,
and the great areas in the Philip
pines may be needed earlier than some
authorities anticipate. When we do
need it the timber is here. The abso-
lutte lack of proper machinery and APP
pliances, as well as of transportation
facilities, initiate against profitable
operation at present. Moreover, the
lay of the land is such that certain in
novations will have to be devised before
the Philippine forests can be worked to
advantage, but there is no doubt that
ingenuity will contrive methods as the
demand increases. The history of
c6mmercialism is a continuous record
of difficulties overcome.
PHILIPPINE MINERAL WEALTH.
Little is known about the mineral
wealth of the Philippine archipelago,
but prospecting is now being done in
almost every province. Many experts,
after looking over the ground, have
spoken disparagingly OF the indications,
yet it is significant that most of the
companies back of these same experts
are coming into the field one after
another. Any one with experience in
a mining country knows that men. with
real prospects do not advertiser their
chances. Both quartz and placer prop
critics are now being worked here,

soil and rainfall are exactly suited to
| it. An expert in the employ of the
government. after making a careful
| investigation of the extent of the cocoa
| nut lands, estimates that there is an
area capable of producing annually
enough nuts to make 250,000 tons of
copra (dried meat of cocoanuD, which
at the present market price would bring
nearly $4,000, coo. Thus it will be seen
that the cocoanut with its hundred uses
can easily be made to pay part of the
interest on the millions we have in
vested.
Another business of great wealth.
producing possibility is the neglected
sugar industry. The Philippines con-
tain vast a Aeas of the richest sugar
land in the world. that could be made
profitable by American capital if there
were a reduction in the tariff. The
methods here are thirty years behind
the times, and the planters are too
poor to develop the business. Some
of them are reduced to the point of Dor
rowing funds from Chinese money
lenders al the rate of ten per cent.
month. The other sugar interests
under our flag look upon the develop
ment of the industry in the Philippines
our consumption is so far in excess of
our capacity of production that there
seems to be no cause for alarm.
EXPERT FIGURES ON SUGAR
An expert has figured out the situa-
ton to show that a reduction in the
tariff would stimulate the business here
without injury to any other American
community of identical interests. In
the last twenty-five years Louisiana
has multiplied her sugar yield by three
and during the last fifteen years the
beet sugar growers have attained
production of about a quarter of
million tons. In the meantime Haw-
ali and Porto Rico have been added to
the Union with their production Of
about half million tons. In spite of
all this the United States has doubled
its importation in twenty-five years,
because during that period its con-
sumption has been multiplied by three.
Let this rate of increased production
go on for another quarter of century;
let the present beet sugar crop be null
tiplied by three. let the cane sugar
crops of Louisiana, Hawaii and Porto |
Rico be multiplied by three; and there |
will still be room for the Philippines to
their present production by !

SPECIAL RULE FOR CHINESE
TransvanI Authorities Find IL NeceE-
snry to Take Measures to Re
press RiOtinE.

JOHANNESBURG, Aug. 12.-(Special
Cabegram to The Bee THE president Of
the chamber of mines has made definite
announcement to the effect that the govern
ment has agreed to the drawing up of
definite instructions as to the manner Of
dealing with Chinese disturbances. 1t is
understood that in the case of riots, repres-
sion of the disorder will precede investiga-
tion of the alleged grievances. The govern
ment Is confident that the stationing of a
body of constabulary in proximity to the
mines will prove adequate for the preser-
walton of order.
These rules and regulations were the out
growth of many serious charges caused by
attempts to govern the Chinese introduced
into South Africa since the war and now
working in the mines. Capital punishment,
corporal punishment and all of the various
punishments known to man have been used,
accompanied of course. by various excuses,
for the purpose of holding the Chinese in
check. 1t is thought that the new regula-
tions will prove sufficiently severe, and yet
will not allow for continuation of wrong
doing on the part of the officials.

MOSCOW, Aug. 12-(special Cablegram

steamboat companies on the Volga and a
large number of private railways besides
