to fifteen years.
Manila hemp is produced only In tho
Philippine Islands and constitutes moro
than two-thirds the total value OF all
growing Is one of the safest as we'll as
most profitable investments there.
Enormous areas OF the finest hemp
lands are still untouched.
Another bulletin is devoted to The
lumber business. Philippine forests are
managed under totally different sys-
tenn from the methods in this country.
Less than haf n million acres of them
are held by private owners. The PUBLIC
| forests amount to more than 10000 900
acres. These cannot be sold. leased or
homestead unless 1t can be shown
that they are more valuable for agri-
cultural than for forests purposes.
Licenses are granted for terms .os
twenty years, giving tho holder the ex.
elusive right to exploit certain forest
products. The area covered by the
license depends on the size OF the plant
to be installed. No charge Is made for
this license. but stumpage charge
ranging from 81 to IS n thousand feet,
board measure, is imposed.
T'reigh rates from Manila to the Paci-
Tic Coast are about 81 ton for logs.
or s12 to s14 thousand feet. There
is no export duty and logs are admitted
into this country free. But the chief
markets for common native timber
would be the Philippines, China and
Australia.
Rubber plantations are promising
new venture in the islands. Tapioca
is common product. even the smallest
farms growing little OF It.
Maguey and ssal hemp are two fibre
crops which are making rapid progress.
Half a million sisal plants were ms
ported into the islands year before last.
Sisal hemp has made Yucatan one OF
the richest States in Mexico.
| The final triumphant truth which the
Philippines can stand is the statement
| that the death rate among the Ameri
cans in Manila is less than in cities In
the United States itself. For the year
ended June go 1906, 1t was 9.34 In the

sAvAGEs AND LEARNING.
Rubber Traders on the Amazon Cnn No
Longer Make Slick Bargains.

A letter from Iquftos, at the head Of
navigation on the Amazon, says that
the rubber traders have overdone the
business of bartering the flimsiest
kind of gewgaws for good hard
rubber collected by the Indians.
Fortunes have been made in the bus
mess, but the natives have cut their
eyeteeti,. They have found at last
that many of the trade goods they nc
cepted are almost valueless, and that
the commodity they exchanged for bai-
bles is highly priced by many nations.
An amusing illustration OF the VIII
lingness of rubber buyers to impose
upon the ignorance or superstition OF
native collectors is told by members
of the ill-fated expedition to the Anra-
ION to build the railroad around the
Madeira Falls.
Years ago young fellow from Indi-
ana, known to newspaper readers as
the boy naturalist of the Amazon"
earned good living by wandering
over parts of the Amazon basin and
collecting orchids for the conservator-
les of wealthy men. He was later
employed by the Madeira River Rail-
road Company on account OF his sa-
miIiarity with the Indian languages.
When the enterprise failed he said
he would go further up the river to
trade for rubber, and the company told
MIN TO take Whatever ne pledSeu IIoHl
its stock of gimcracks to assist him in
his commercial project. To everybody's
surprise he added to his pedler's pack
all the playing cards with which tho
party expected to kill time on their
way home. When asked how he tn
tended to use them he replied:
"Why, / expect to make money out
of them. The, people on the rivers will
think the face cards represent saints

defended themselves on the ground

miliar with the white mans cutlery.
and it is not easy to fool them as 20
the value of ivory.
So the palmiest days OF that trade
are at an end.
1t Is the old story. The poor Indians
of this country We're swindled right
and left when Europe first began 10
buy their furs and skins. 1t was =
poor, trading company that could not
make 100 per cent. on Its capital by
single voyage.
Missionary reports We're filed with
stories of the cheap and worthless
things, the spoiled food and poisonous
brandy which the traders gave In en-
change for good beaver and mink skins.

.I'he Lambs Reyengc,"

Now comes Lamb, of Virginia. with
an omnibus bill that will cause the
railroads to sit up and take notice. We
ara not informed whether this Lamb, of
Virginia. is the original Wall Street
lamb. of whom all have heard. or
whether he was the last to go to the
shearing. This Is perhaps immaterial.
re Is more important to note him in
his capacity OF the avenging Lamb, y.
needs no Information save that fur-
.nished by himself to prove this char
acter Bears may growl and bulls may
below. but this Lamb bleats In a way
TO drown the clamor OF both.
The Lamb bill proposes to make tho
railroads be good and 1t proposes to
make them spend their money. whether
or not they can float bonds. Most of
Its aims are good, too. It would have
every grade crossing abolished--in one
year--and every mile OF road equipped
with automatic signals In the same
period, 1t also proposes to have deus
lie tracks wherever they are needed.
within Ave years, and other good
things too Numerous to mention OF
course, we are all for the Lamb bill.
1t is the lambs turn to make d killing.
And II the roads ask Cor more time
as they have the habit OF doing--leea
give them ninety days IN this work.
