Tobacco In Porto Rico.

Within very short time tobacco
will be as important a product of Porto
Rico as sugar is now" says Francis
]. Dexter of San Juan. MANY of the
large plantations have taken up the
raising of tobacco. with the result
that the output of the leaf has in
creased many fold. Many Americans
who have gone to the island have in
vested in tobacco rather than In
sugar lands. and the consequence has
been a rapid advance in the price OF
ground suitable for tobacco raising.
This boom in the tobacco industry will
not injure the sugar business. how
ever. We are producing more sugar
now than ever before and will con-
tinue to increase the production"

INDIAN LANGUAGES.
Grammar or American Tongues 10
Elaborase and Difficult.

Prof. A. l.. Krccber Of the Universi-
ty Of California declares that Indian
languages are not jargon, as Is pop.
ularly believed. say the Scientific
American. In pamphlet recently Is
sued ON the YulSuts and Yuki Ian
guages he afiirms that Indian langu-
ages possess an elaborate and difficult
grammar, though thi Is unknown to
the Indians themselves, and must be
extracted by the Investigations OF
scientists.
The two languages which Prof. Kroe-
Der selected for experiments had abb
solutely no similar word They are
more different than English and Rus
sian. The Yulkuts and the Yuki are
not even In territorial contact. and
show no signs of common origin. The
Yuki live in northern California, in the
coast range. and the Yukuts are To-
Gated In the interior of south cen,ral
California, in the southern end OF tie
San Joaquin valley.
Though Prof. Kroeber found that
the grammatical structure OF their
languages was identical at nearlf
every point, their words were who'll
dissimilar The two languages is full
of interest. The order of words dii
fers quite thoroughly. In Yukuts the
adjective precedes the noun; In Yukl
1t follows. Yukuts tend to place the
verb at the head of the sentence; Yuki
at the end. The numerical systems of
the two languages are radically diff
ferent. That Of Yukuts Is decimal; of
Yuki quarternary.
1t Is noted by DIR. Kroeber that Cal
ifornia has more totally distinct In
dian languages a square mile than any
other state, The reason for this great
variety Of languages has never been
properly accounted for.

SCHOOL COLUMN.

The educational meeting last
Friday afternoon was success in
many ways. While the exhibit
was not extensive it served to in
dicate the kind of work the school
is doing. Over one hundred adult
visitors were present and many
expressed themselves as pleased
with the exhibit am glad to be
present for the program. We
teachers hereby express our ap
probation for the words of cordial
sympathy and cooperation
spoken during the meeting by

We want to say here that we
are fully aware of the fact that
there is room for improvement in
Paonia Schools. In fact, the
teachers probably know this bet
ter than anyone else.
But considering the disad-
vantages under which the pupils
labor they are accomplishing an
immense amount of work. 1t is
safe to say that one hundred
school systems are represented
among the pupils. Until the
present year the rooms have been
badly overcrowdcd and the school
year too short. The frequent
change OF teachers and of super
intendent has also operated
against the efficiency of the
schools. 1t will take several years
of faithful work by the school
board and teachers to bring the
school up to line.
The most important election of
the year comes the first Monday
in May. OF all elections this one
should be entirely outside of pol
itics, churches, societies, or fac
tions of any kind. The choice of
men to administer the public
school funds and to shape the
policies, and select the teaching
force of district school should
be made with the greatest care.

HUSBANDS
LAST Will

Mrs. Marie K. Ena, the widow of the
late John Ena, declines to accept the
terms of her husbands will and pro-
poses to reserve and take her dover
right in the estate of deceased.
Such notice was given this morning
in a document filed with the court clerk
by her attorney, A. G. NJ. Robertson.
The document says that she gives no.
tice she declines to accept the provi-
sions of the will of her deceased hus-
band and elects to reserve and take her
dover in the estate. The estate is Of
considerable value and consists of real
estate in Honolulu and California, and
stocks and bonds. Under the Will,
the widow is given the use of the Ena
residence during her life time and a
certain income. The estate is to be
divided among the various children,
some small bequests in cash being
made to some of the children.
