AL SENIOR GOBERNAD0R

San Juan de Puerto Rice, Octubre
"A de 1905.
Honorable Gobernador:
Tepgo ell honor de contestar la
comunic aci6n de V. H. de fecha II del
corriente relativa a las quejas presen-
tadas por dos de los sehores medicos
que sufrieron examen en- la Ultima con.
vocatoria de este Board a quienes no
Sc autoriz6 para la practica profesiona ]
en- esta Isla.
10 Los examenes de los doctor es
Juan Benet y Josefa Zarat, al igual de
todos los que Sc han celebr ado, han
sido regidos por ell reglamento adopta-
do por la Junta, ell cual establece como
condici6n necesaria para la aprobacion
dc un aspirante, ell promedio de IS por
ciento, cuya cifra no alcanzo ninguno
de los referidos seflcres.
Ell mismo reglamento esta blece que
81 algunos de los aspirante licencia
no alcanza en una de as asigraturas
IN promedio de 50 por ciento, Sc lie
debe retirar de examen. En- este ca
so Sc encontro alguno de los sefiores
que fue desaprobado y, sin EN- barge,
la Junto no cumpliment6 tai requisite,
deseando mostrarse benevola con los
exa nina dos.
2o La Junta Examinadora ha rea-
lizado, hasta la fecha y de acuerdo con
la ley, examenes de ingles y espafol
indistinta mente.
Bien es cierto, que en- la session que
sufrieron examenes dichos Sres. todos
ellos puertorriquenos, Sc les indico, por
uno de los miembros de la Junta, que
contestaran en- espaflol, invitandoles
con insistencia que asi 10 hicieran, y
aperci bidos los demas examinadores de
que clio Sc apartaba de laley manifesto
ron los examinados que tambien po-
dian hacerlo en- ingles y de hacerlo en-
castellano salvasen cualquiera dificul-
tad que Sc lie ofreciera en- la traduc-
cion de las ideas, usando al efecte el
idioma en- que estudiaron.
Resulta, pues. que 81 bien es cierto,
que no Sc proclamo categoricamente ell
derecho que tenian que contestar en-
ingles, todos apesar de clio usaron di.
cho idioma, en- algunas de6niciones y
tecnicismo.
Ademzs la Junta entiende que cual.
quiera queja en- 10 relative a examenes
que por base tuviera ell uso de uno Il
otro idioma, no puede constituir sino
un pretexto en- quien conoce los dos
idiomas, toda vez que Ell merito de un
examen no 10 atribuye ningdn tribu-
nal a la forma de expression sino 10
fundamental de las ideas.
Y estas bien pueden determinarse
en- castellano por quien 10 conoce aun-
que hslla estudiado en- otro idiomo.
80 No hay nj puede haber en- la
Junta prevention alguna contra las
universidades americanas nj contra los
tftulos que elias expiden. Lo acredita
ell hecho de que hasta la techa de los
1ltimos examenes hanse presentado.....
solicitudes para obtener licencia y solo

over the delay in the publication of

No explanation for holding it back is
given and the understanding is that
General expectation is that the report
will show IL per cent earned on the
common, and it is also expected to
show the change in the holdings of
securities represented by. the retire
ment of Northern Securities stock in
exchange for Northern Pacific and
Great Northern preferred. Whether the
Union Pacific has disposed Of part Of
such holdings and increased its cash
thereby is immaterial, as the financial

NEW RAILROAD BUILDING

Eleven great railway corporations
and a number of small independent
companies are, at the present time,
either building or preparing to build
nearly 1000 miles Of railway IN the
northwestern and Pacific coast states:
This aggregate Of : construction will
cost, on the most conservative estimate,
over $2l4,000,0O0.
The following list of mileage, an:
nounced for construction, is compiled
largely from the news items published
since June 80 by the Wall Street jour
nal and the Railway Age. It has been
supplemented in some instances by Of
fetal statements. It does not pretend
to be absolutely correct, but is suffi-
ciently close to the mark to indicate
the extent to which competitive rail;
way building in these states is already
under way. The list omits entirely the
alleged extension of the st. Paul to the
coast, the Burlington to Salt Lake and
other enterprises not definitely located.
For the sake of conservatism, the
mileage is averaged at a cost Of 100000
mile, except in the case Of Western
Pacific, which is put in at the cost Of
bonds already sold. This valuation is
about correct in the case Of the North
Western, st. Paul and many of the in
dependent companies, but is far too low
in the case of the mountain lines under

SIOUX CITY LIVESTOCK

,. The run of cattle this week has been
moderate and with 5000 head on sale,
the supply was 900 less than last week.
The stocker and feeder market has
been satisfactory and values opened up
the week fully steady with last week g
best time. With moderate supplies later,
prices were well maintained and, In
fact, sales of the most desirable kinds
were reported at strong figures. A
good class of 9O0@1,OO0 1b steers sold
from $3.5o@3.75 and the medium
weight and quality stuff at $3@3.40.
Yearlings sold up to $3.50, with the bulk
of the offerings at $3@3.25. Common
and inferior steers of all weights ranged
from $2.50@$3. Trade in stock heifers
has been light owing to the moderate
marketing and with prices ranging from
$1.85@2.50, the market was steady with
last week.
The fat cattle trade opened the week
with heavy run Of western steers.
While conditions warranted stronger
values. the heavy marketing had a bear
ish influence. Later in the week. with
moderate daily supplies, prices showed
a decided advance and the market
closed the week 15@25c higher than
Monday. The best Of the range steers
sold last Monday at $3.60@4.50, and
the Dakota-Texans, $3.10@3.50., In
warmed-up native steers, prices ranged
from. $3.50@4.50, and the good beeves
up to $3.50. Butcher stock comprised
the bulk of the late marketing and re-
ceived most of the weeks advance.
Good cows and heifers sold from so. rs

close prices are strong to 10c higher.
Demand is strong for good to choice
granted or grass-fed stuff, but moth
ing of the former kind has yet ap-
peared. There was a scarcity Of steers,
and those available were only Of fair
quality. There were exceptional sales
from 1915 to $4.25, but the bulk sold
under $3.50. Good to choice grass cows

better kinds being scarce. Veal calves
advanced Csc to SOC, receipts being

CHICAGO LIVE STOCK

Finished beeves have been taken
readily by all interests in the past week
and prices advanced 10 cents. All
buyers were active bidders for choice
to prime grades to fill Thanksgiving
holiday demands, but common and me-
dium classes dragged all week and
showed no improvement in value. Re-
ceipts included run Of 1000 range
cattle: Prime beeves sold up to $500,
the highest since last May, and many
lots at 5000 and $6.4O, while the bulk
Of the finished beeves made $5.52 and
$500. Common to good killers sold at
$3.50 to $4.6O and poor rough kinds un-
der 1926, the spread in values being
the widest of the year. There are bull
ish indications in the trade relative to
the immediate future of prices for prime
steers as the Eastern and local Christ
mas demands will soon be filled and
many, traders predict $500 and 1925 for
top beeves, tho the rank and file of steers
can hardly sell much higher than at
present, as the demand is comparative
ly narrow and beef coolers heavily load
ed with plain cuts. Range cattle ad-
yanced 10 and l5 cents in the week and
above $4.OO.
Bulls advanced 10 cents and sold
largely at $2.40 to 1915, with tops at
$3.75 to $40O. Veal calves held steady,
tops selling at $7.25 to $3.50, while
heavy calves advanced 25 cents and sold
mainly at 1925 to $500. Stockers and
feeders were 10 to l5 cents higher ear
ly, but closed with this advance lost,
and l,500 were left unsold Sales rang
ed at $2.l5 to $40. = 49,. .>.....>,
Hogs sold within a narrower range
than for any week in several months,
but the tendency was lower, the average
price for the week being $3.50. Pack
ers seemed more willing to take hogs
at prevailing pt"1;ldg prices and yet their req;
before the close Of the year. The first
FIVE days of the week Armour's droves
ranged from $4.79 to $4.81 and Swift 3
SALT to $4.83. Receipts of about 49,
OO0 were the largest since last Febru-
ary, when prices were near the low
point Of the year. Receipts will un:
doubtedly continue on liberal scale
and there seemingly is only one side to
the market-lower prices.
Sheep values are coming back up the
scale very satisfactorily since the big
break noted a week ago. There has
been an advance of 40 to SO cents in
prices for fat yearlings. Both sheep
and lambs have advanced 25 to 40 cents
on the low time last week, the best
lambs selling here lately at $40 to
$3.50, and the bulk Of fat lambs al
$3.50 to $7.35, with the sort demanded
at such prices much less severe than
one week ago, at that. Feeding lambs
have sold mostly at IS cents advance
over last weeks prices, and the best
lots up to $3.50 and the bulk at 5000 to
$685., only light class of feeders down
at 1915. Arrivals for the week are
close to $4,000. head, against 1880
same time last week and 92,486 one
year ago. -. Il

AN EXCITING CONTEST.
Woman's Relief Corps Completes the
Election of Officers.

The meeting of the Woman's Relief Corps
last night at G. A. r. Hall developed into
an exciting contest for the election of
those officers of the corps that had not al
ready been chosen. Opposition came from
an unexpected quarter to the candidates
whose names were placed in nomination by
the so-caled campaign committee, which
includes in it's membership seventy-one
members of the convention. The committee
is an unofficial body and the members
state, in extenuation Of their proceedings
that every delegate to the convention was
privileged to join the committee by simply
pledging support to the straight ticket NOM
mated by majority Of the members of the
committee. The campaign against the can
didates developed on the first nomina llon.
Mrs. Alice Burke of George U. Morris
Corps was nominated for the craftsmanship
of the executive board by the committee.
and Mrs. Cora Smith was placed in nomi-
nation by the opposition Mrs. Burke won
out by a majority Of "a. Then Mrs. Smith
was successfully nominated for second and
third member of the board and was as sue
cessively defeated, the committees candi-
date winning out each time. The opposi-
ton was well managed and its chief had all
the requirements of political leadership.
There were few parliamentary methods
for delaying and wearing out the delegates
that were not tried by those who formed
the minority. Efforts were made at times
to have vote taken before all the nominal
tons had been made, and several times
motions to elect by reclamation were de-
feated and division called for when there
seemed no necessity for such action. The
strength Of the committee was proof
against all attacks, however, and all Of
it's candidates were elected
The results of the balloting follow:
Chairman of the executive board: Mrs.
Alice Burke of Morris Corps; second MEM
Der of board, Lucinda Gruber of Burnside
Corps; third member of board. Mrs Fisher
Of Morris Corps; fourth member of board,
Gertrude Morgan of Thomas Corps; fifth
member of board, Mrs. Dou of Farragut
Corps; delegate-at-large to national conven-
ton. Isabel w. Ball of Lincoln Corps; dele
gate national convention. Carrie Thomas of
Morton Corps; alternate to delegate-at-
large, Anna M. Baden of Lincoln Corps;
alternate to delegate, Hattie Saunders of
Morton Corps.
The convention adjourned at IL o'clock
last night to reassemble at o'clock this
evening, when business will conclude with
the reading and consideration of reports.

Secured a Wife in a Day.

The many friends in Greenwich, Conn, OF
Clarence Webb, a young man who went to
Cross River, N. Y, a year ago and started
in the poultry business. are talking today OF
the quick manner in which he decided to
take a wife, and how well he succeeded.
Mr.. Webbs many friends have had much
fun with him about keeping bachelors hall.
Tuesday morning Peter Hunt a Cross River
merchant, asked him why he didn't get a
housekeeper.
Don't know of any," was the reply.
"Why. | can tell you of two or three
who would make good wives" said the
Jolly merchant and he named them, fncfud-
ing Miss Carolyn Saxon, school teacher
II appears that Mr.. Webb acted on the
suggestion. for when school was out he
was at the schoolhouse with horse and
sleigh and invited the young woman to
sleigh ride. She accepted, and the two
drove to Katonah, stopped at the Presby-
terrain parsonage and were married by the
Rev DR.. A. ID. Reid.
