When went to the Philippines in
1900, says Ex-Governor Henry q. Ide
in the New York Tribune, the islands
were IN state OF chaos. War was
being waged. government there was

and property are as safe throughout

Cf certain districts of Sanar and
Lcyte. as they are within the bound
aries of the United States. The ter
rcrs Of brigandage which are felt in
Samar and Leyte are not new.
These Puliianes preyed upon the ma
tires for generations before the ar
rival OF the Americans. and will
probably continue TO do SO until they
are exterminated They do not mo-
lest foreigners, as a rule. but choose
the safer victims they find among the
poor people of the native rural dis
tricts.
Practically all branches OF the
Philippine government are now un-
der the Civil Service. All appoint
ments, except the very highest, are
made from lists of eligible persons
who have passed a satisfactory ex-
animation for the places. and pro-
motions within the service are made
upon the same basis. II Is a fact that
politics has less to do with appoint
ment or promotion in Office in the
Philippines than here in the United
States. The officials have found Civil
Service methods an excellent protec-
ton for themselves. and would not
under any consideration have the
order of things changed to the spoils
system.
The educational system estaby
lished by the United States is first
class. There are trade schools estab-
lished by the government, as well as
schools for the teaching OF English
and the ordinary branches of learn
Ing, and many OF the municipalities
have grade schools OF their own
which would compare favorably with
similar institutions in the states. All
told, there are between four hun

school in the Philippines, and every

will continue to spend 1t. About
s4,0OO,000 has been spent upon the
harbor at Manila to make It safe for
the largest oceangoing vessels, and
larger sums are being spent upon tho
harbors of Ilolo and Cebu. Many
miles OF fine roads have been con-
structed, and bridges have been
thrown across many of the rivers TO
make the highways between the prin-
cipal towns OF value at all seasons of
the year.
One of the most important mat
ters takeE up by the government was
the investigation of tropical diseases
which is now being carried on In the
laboratory established at Manila. AZ
this laboratory smallpox vaccine and
various serums for the cure and pre-
vention of diseases in man and beast
are prepared. A serum preparation
for the prevention of rinderpest,
which threatened to exterminate the
cattle OF the islands, has proved won
derfully successful and the disease
has been practically stamped out.
When 1t appears, here and there at
infrequent intervals, force from
the laboratory proceeds to the herds
infected and puts an end to the
epidemic. BY this means many mil
lions of dollars worth of valuable
animals have been saved, and one Of
the most serious menaces to the pros
prity of the islands has been re-
moved. Smallpox was prevalent be-
fore the American occupation, but
since vaccination has been carried
on to an extensive degree through
out the centers of population, the
disease has disappeared in its cpl

The finest man you ever met

Los Angeles herald., 1907-07-21

to keep them from starving for three or four
days.
But they had no idea of playing the part of
Robinson Crusoe and his man Friday, even
for that short space of time. if it could posi-
bly, be helped, So they got on the edge of the
island nearest Britannia, and Alec held up his
paddle with his coat on it as a signal of dis
tress, while both shouted at the top of their
voices.
Their shouts were drowned in the ceaseless
roar of the rapids, but after awhile their sig
nal Of distress was observed, and soon crowd
had gathered on the shore opposite them, and
there was great excitement.
Everybody was eager to help, but nobody
knew just what to do. All sorts of schemes
were suggested for the rescue of the boys,
the most feasible of which was to have large
boat go out above the rapids and anchor there,
and then send down a smaller one secured by
rope, with which it could be hauled back
again, for no boat could by any possibility be
rowed back against that mighty current
But there were two difficulties in the way
of this plan. There was no boat at the vii
lage big enough, and no rope long enough,
for the purpose, so some other way must needs
be devised
The morning wore away, and the afternoon
shadows heightened, without ANYTHING being
done, and it looked as though the boys would
have to stay on the island all night. when
the cry was raised that there was raft COM
ing down, and sure enough the great towing
steamer, followed by huge raft of square
timber, hove into sight far up the lake.
The moment the foreman heard of the boys
situation he detailed six of his best men, three
being Indians and three French Canadians,
to bring them off.
Landing their largest bonne, kind of boat
peculiar to numbering, being fiat on the bot.
tom and very high at both bow and stern,
they rowed off briskly toward the rapids,
laughing and chatting one another and eyi.
IDENTIFY deeming it quite a bit of fun, while
the crowd gathered on the shore watched
every movement they made with breathless
attention.
Managing their clumsy-looking but most
seaworthy craft with perfect skill, they made
an easy landing ON the island, took the BOYS
on board, and then waving their hats to the
admiring on-lookers continued gaily on into
the very midst of the boiling rapids. the big
bonne bobbing about like cork, apparently
at the entire mercy of the waters, yet all the
time being cleverly steered by her crew, and
after an exciting passage, during which the
boys hardly breathed, shooting out into the
smooth stretch below the rapids without hav-
ing taken so much as single drop of water
on board
The rescuing raftsmen were well rewarded
for their timely service. and Master Lon learn
I ed lesson in caution that he is not likely

whats the use of going up so far?" he
protested you can't feel the current here
Because old Lark told me to make that
all about it." replied Alec.
ugh! Lark's an old fuss. He goes away
up there only because he's too lazy to pull
straight across where the currents strong, ;"
grunted Lon, who had a passion for short
head the canoe more directly toward their
destination, until at last Alec, for very peace's
sake, and against his better judgment, altered
their course in compliance with his wishes.
For a hundred yards or so the padding
was no harder than before. and they made
no leeway, so that Lon could exclaim, trium
phantly:
"There, now! Didn't tell you? It's only
waste Of time going up SO far"
But when another hundred yards advance
had brought the canoe fairly into the middle
of the mighty stream moving with majestic
flow toward the angry rapids, the paddlers
soon awoke to the fact that while they were
still making good headway, they were max
ing considerable leeway ALSO. and that the
task of getting across was going to be made
much harder thereby.
Although both noticed this, neither made
any remark about it at first. Alec, because
he did not wish to alarm Lon and Lon, be-
cause he shrank from admitting that it would
advice.
Presently their exertions began to tell upon
their young frames. The perspiration beaded
their faces, their breath came short, their
backs began aching, and their arms grew
weary.
Ions heart was already sinking within him,
and Alec deeply regretted having yielded to
his companions ill-advised solicitations to
disregard old Lark
But there was no time for reconsideration
or exchanging of regrets They were beyond
doubt in the grasp of the current, and
must strain every nerve to extricate them
selves.
Clouds began to obscure the deep blue of
the sky, and breeze to ruffe the calm sur
face of the lake. Unable to control his feel
ings any longer, Lon broke out with more
than hint of a sob in his voice:
"Oh, Alec! wish we hadn't started I'm
getting awfully tired, and we don't seem to
be making any headway at all"
ooh, yes, we are, Lon,", responded Alec,
doing his best to seem cheerful. paddle
away; we'll get across all right"
Thus encouraged, Lon put little more life
into his strokes for the next few minutes,
and the canoe did seem to be gaining ground.
But the gain was only temporary. The far
ther they advanced the more they felt the
force of the current.
| Yet it was too late to turn back Their
only course was to keep on until they had
shaken themselves free from the power that
| was dragging them downward to destruction.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-07-21

Whether they would have been equal to
this feat can only be guessed, for in trying
to change his position so to relieve his
cramped legs, Lon lost his ba lance for a mo-
did what was even worse, let slip his paddle.
which was instantly whirled out of his reach.
"Oh, Alec! What shall we do now?" he
cried, in dismay.
Alec's face was white and set.
"Nothing-we are powerless," he said, quiet
ly.
1t was of course futile for him to try to
light canoe, as if glad at having no longer to
fight its way foot by foot, glided gaily down
towards the RAPIDS and all that Alec could
do was to keep it straight in its course, and
not allow it to swing round broadside.
Poor Lon, utterly overcome with terror,
he shook the frail canoe. But Alec was not
one to yield to despair so long as anything
could yet be done.
His brain was busy seeking some scheme
for escape from their exceeding peril, and as
he glanced anxiously ahead, a thought flash
ed into his mind that caused his eye to bright
en- and his pale face to light up with hope
and determination.
Right on the edge of the rapids, just be-
fore the smooth, swift stream broke up into
tumultuous pillows, stood little island-a
mere patch of rocks, crowned with half a
dozen struggling trees.
If he could only beach the canoe on this
island they might yet be saved. 1t was all
that remained between them and certain
DEATH
The island was now not more than two
hundred yards distant, and to reach it he
must make the canoe cut obliquely through
the current. Summoning all his energies for
supreme effort he bent to this task, in the
meantime saying to Lon:
''Be ready to jump the moment the canoe
strikes"
For boy of his age, Alec put wonderful
degree of strength into his strokes, and he
had the joy of seeing his frail craft obey, in
spite of the opposing waters, until it was
pointing fair for the island. Then, with a
glad "hurrah," he ceased fighting the cur
rent and joined forces with it, SO successfully
as to drive the canoe straight towards the
rocks.
He did not miss his aim. With leap, as
though it were alive, the canoe rushed at the
island and ran half its length out Of the wa
ter, sound of splintering wood telling that
its bottom had suffered in so doing
With feelings of indescribable relief the
boys sprang out upon the solid ground, and
instantly embracing one another, danced
about in sheer exuberance of joy.
Their next thought was, how would they
get off the island? They were safe enough
there for the present, of course and they had
sufficient provisions, if carefully husbanded,
