WAR OF RATES FEARED
COMMERCE OF THE PHILIPPINE
PORTS AT STAKE.

Indications of a rate war between the
transportation companies operating steam
ship lines in the inter-island trade Of the
Philippines and foreign ships plying be-
tween Hongkong and other oriental ports
are contained in information received here
through governmental channels.
The inter-island traffic of the Philippines
is restricted by act of Congress to vessels
having American register and operating un-
der the coastwise laws of the United States.
Three or four companies are operating
lines of steamers in that trade, having been
established under Spanish rule and trans
ferred to the American flag under provision
Of regulation. These companies have been
deprived in the past OF much business
through the establishment Of lines Of
steamers by the Philippine government and
the operation of transports of the quarter
masters department of the army.
Just as the government ships are to be
withdrawn from the trade news comes that
foreign ships operating principally from
Hongkong have made rate from that port
Philippines for foreign vesseis-Manili,
Iloilo, Cebu and Zamboango-which IS less
than the interisland rate between these
pcrts. The result of that rate, 1t is
thought will be to divert the commerce
between these ports to Hongkong at the
expense of Manila, and that merchants in
these cities will purchase their supplies in
Hongkong or elsewhere and abandon COM
pletey the interisland commerce.
There is reason to believe that the inter-
Island transportation companies will meet
the new rate of the foreign compa MES.
But the Ameficanizat!on of the Philip
pines has increased the cost Of operating
ships, restricted 10 the regulations of the
coastwise laws and placed them On the
same disa advantage there that American
ship owners complain or In this country,
hnr low {u nRda cd Of
the least expensive ports in the world from
which to ship crews.
1t is understood that Secretary Taft has
been placed in possession of the facts Of
this situation. which is regarded as CT
the serious problems in the Philippine eQua-
ton.

$4,000 RECOMMENDED
To Finish the Blind Institute
Building at this Place.

Dull0lng al LnlS flaces
The legislative committee who
visited here last week for the
purpose of investigating the
Territorial Blind Institute Build
ing at this place now in course
of construction was SO we'll pleas
ed with the plans and how the
work was progressing that they
have recommended $4,000 as a
sufficient sum to finish the build
ing.
The committee saw that every
dollar already appropriated had
been legitimately and economi-
cally used as there is something
to show for it and the matter of
securing an appropriation suffi-
cient to finish the building was
an easy one.
No man in New Mexico has
taken any more pride in looking
after a public trust than has Mr..
Pierce in this matter and he is
especially proud of the success
his committee has had with that

isfied, although nearly all ex-
pressed it as being dull for pay
day trade, more so than they
thought it should be. When
questioned a little closer we
found that collections were
GOOD; that a little more invest
igation showed gamblers almost
put out of business, and that the
saloon trade was very dull, es-
pecially SO when compared with
former days in Alamogordo. So,
by taking it all in all we found
trade conditions good and with
a tendency to get better from
time to time. We say better
because men who are here are
becoming located and every
month adds a family or two to
the town thus keeping that much
more money at home whereas be-
fore it was sent away for these
families.
To us things look good. We
remember that one year ago pre-
dictions were freely made that
by this time some Alamogordo
merchants would have made as
signments. Up to date not ONE
has ''gone to the wall, but near
ly every one have added to their
stocks, increased their shelving
and storeroom capacity. Does
this look like bankruptcy

ever before. The mountain dis
tricts are in better condition

The passengers that came up

witnessed q scene for which the
writer has been looking for five
years, and one that he has been
wishing to see for thirty years.
The weather was cloudy when
We left Alamogordo at $50 a.
m. When we reached ri Vale
we began to enter . cloud and
when we reached Grand View at
about 10 o'clock we had the ex-
trene pleasure of being Above
the Clouds. The sun shining
brightly above us and below us a
beautiful cloud stretching from
our very feet to the opposite side
of the valley forty miles away
hiding everything below us only
the SUBMITS of the San Andres
on the opposite side of the val
ley being visible. A Mr.. Bryan,
a traveller, was with us with his
kodak and took several pictures
of the scene. He said that he
has just spent four months in
Switzerland among the Alps and
never saw anything SO grand as
what we saw today.
Respectfully,
