SENTENCE OF BLACK
POPE IS COMMITTED
GOV.-GEN. SMITH SPARES LIFE
OF ISLAND BANDIT
FanaticaI Filipino Saved from Death
Has Had Wild and Narrowing
Career Among the
Tribesmen

MANILA, March Ex-Governor Cen
eral Smith has committed the death
sentence of Papa Isio, the "black pope"
of the tribesmen of the island of Ne
gros.
The government believed that If Isio
were executed one of his fanatical fol-
lowers would claim to be Isio REIN
carnated and thus renew the troubles
that led to the "black pope's" appre-
hension and sentence to death for his
crimes.
Governor Smith acted upon the ad-
vice of the constabulary, who declared
the prisoners followers could be con-
trolled only by keeping him in con-
finement for life, in a place where the
tribes would be certain that he was
living.
Has Had Wild Career
Dionisio Magbuela, better known as
Dionisio Papa, or Papa 1sio, whose
death sentence has been committed by
Manila authorities, has been one of
the most notorious bandit chiefs in the
Philippine islands.
His depredations extended over
twenty years, closing with his surren-
der with his followers to Capt. George
B. Bowers, Philippine constabulary, in
the mountains near Isabella, west
Negroes, in August of 1907.
His field of activity was the island
of Negros, on whose rich coast towns
and plantations he preyed and in
whose mountain Businesses he long
eluded the military, the constabulary
and municipal police.
His leadership was based on his
claim to divinity, he having styled
himself the Papa" or pope of the
holy church.
His following was recruited from the
most ignorant people of the island,
who believed fully in his divinity and
in the virtue of certain amulets of his
men.
While these amulets did not always
protect his followers from bullets of
the constabulary the papa" himself
seemed to bear a charmed life,
Many times he has been reported
killed and as many times has given
the lie to the report by raiding some
unsuspecting town far from the scene
of his last reported demise.
He and his followers have been
known as Babaylanes, Pulshines and
Dios- Diosans. They have exhibited
Oarbarities and cruelties peculiar to
fanatics.

there are great many people
who believe that the best place
for the court house and Jail is on
prison hill, which will shortly
be vacated, There is much prop
erty there that could he utilized
and a great saving made. On
this proposition the county and
city could join and both be bene-
1ted thereby. The site is high
and prominent, and good build
ings erected there would attract
the attention Of visitors at once
and create an impression that
would produce good results in
many instances. The thing to
do is to put up good public build
ings, and locate them where
they can be readily seen.

What Boys Cost.

Somebody has figured ont that
the average boy. who is depend
ent upon his parents for live
lihood until he reaches the age
Of twenty'one years costs them
four thousand dollars. On this
basis Of calculation brood, for
instance, of six boys would rep
resent an outlay Of twenty four
thousand dollars by the time they
get away from the home roost.
The question arises, Does it pay
to raise boys, and are there no
other crops that would prove
more profita bic? If Il boy turns
out to be cigarette tend with q
breath Likely turkey buzzard
and Il laugh that would make
the uututored jassa OK feel per
fectly at home in his society and
an untrammeled and unconquer-
able desire to avoid work, it is
safe to say that his parents
might have invested their four
thousand dollars to o much bet
ter advantage. But if the boy
grows up to manhood with the
lesson we'll learned that wealth
and success grow only on bush
es watered by the sweat Of ones
brow, the parents need not be-
grudge whatever they have
spent on him, for he will be a
source of increasing pride and
Joy to their hearts; and when
they grow old and their hands
tremblc and their step is slow
and faltering, they have two
strong aras to lean upon and
help them over all the rough
places that lie IN their twilight
path.

Good Sense,

The great trouble among
American youth Is the lack CT
application and thoroughness in
what they undertake. Anything
that can be learned by superb
cial study is given the o-by for
something less tedious. Study
and hard labor are looked at
from wrong standpoint; and as
u consequence the clerkship
ranks are foil of unemployed
young men and the professions
are oyerflowing with mediocrity,
while good mechanics find plenty
of work at living prices. The
evil spoken Of is seriously felt.
And those who work at Il trade
do it in so loose and careless a
manner that they often are not
competent to do the work they
promised to DO

CORN Is KING

In the. discussion Of the, tariff
schedules in congress a few days
ago, MIR. Kinkaid of Nebraska,
speaking 10 the subject, shed
some startling information as TO
the annual value of farm pro-
ducts. From Mr.. Kinkaid's re,
marks, printed in the Congress
ional Record, we quote the fol
lowing:
1.-THE American farmer is do
ing we'll and is not complaining.
If you will look over Secretary
Wilson's report for 1905 you will
find that farm products for 1903
are valued at 81, rs, ZOO, 900. You
will find that the 5000, 900 fami-
lies engaged in agriculture pro
duced 2,643, 900, 900 bushels of
corn, valued at 81 615, 900, 600, an
increase in value of 5000 600, 900,
WHICH the Secretary says is an
amount equal to the gold in the
treasury of this rich nation. He
says that its total value is equal
to cotton, hay and wheat com
bined. Next comes cotton; next
bay, G8, 100000 tons, Waived at
S62l 900, 900; next 66o, 900, 900
bushels of wheat, valued at $500
600, 600, which is 500, 900, 900 in
excess Of any year, or 1.5 per
cent above the nve years aver
age in production and 23.3 per
cent above the average in total
value. Next comes oats, 789,
900, coo bushels, valued at 1921
600, coo; barley f67 600, 900 bush
els, valued at $4,000, 600: rye,
80. 600, 900 bushels, valued at
&22, ZOO, 600: rice, %, 900, 900 bush
els, worth sig, 100000: total
quantity of cereals. 4,329,O0o,
600 bushels, valued at S2,O94,
900, $50, which is more than
$500, 900, geo above that Of last
year.
Next comes potatoes. 275, 200,
900 bushels. valued at $3.50, 900,
000; the tonnage of sugar beets
increased this year AL per cent
and the value, $2l, 500, 900, by
49, per cent. The productive
value of sugar cane, molasses
and syrup for 1903 is estimated
to be about $4,000, 900. Beet
sugar production for 03 reach
ed 500,000 short tons, which at
the factory was valued at S45,
OOu, 900. The total production Of
sugar is about eco, C00short tons,
valued at S75, 00O, 600. The grand
total value OF refined sugar was
S94.oO0,O00. Tobacco is valued
at $50, 600, 900; hops, $1,000, Geo
pounds, valued at 81, 900, 900; all
rarm products equal to $1,000,
900, 600.
"Aud here is the most inter
esting story Of all. On page 10
the Secretary says;
1t is striking fact that the
farm products of the dairy cow
are getting closer and closer TO
$500, 600, 900, and that the eggs |
and poultry produced on the |
farm arc worth as much as the !
cotton crop, seed included, or tho |
hay crop, or the wheat crop"

Withdrawn From Entry
100000 Acres

Word comes from Washington
that the general land Office has
withdrawn from entry in this
aud the Coachelia valley $50, 600
acres of the puoiic domain, says
the Imperial Standard.
To those who have studied the
stu ltion carefully this announce
ment will cause no surprise, and
if the territory Withdrawn has
been properly selected, probably
nothing but good will result
from this step being taken.
The government is now max
ing a survey Of the valley to
determine the amount Of land
available for irrigation under
the Laguns project, should it be
decided to extend that system to
that portion of the valley not
now under irrigation, and it is
the common practice of the gov
ernment TO Withdraw lands from
Cling IN advance Of the forma-
zion OF new irrigation district
ander the reclamation service TO
prevent the land falling into the
hands of spectators
During the last year, especial
BY, the spectators have been
particularly busy, ia attempting
20 seize large and juicy tracts of
land lying beyond any present
or prospective ditch, depending
entirely on the future to give
value to the land that is now
valueless-
1t is not in the interest of the
government or OF this valley
that nonresident spectators
should acquire title to the land,
aud there are doubtless many
eases in which those who have
paid land shaFps for locating
them, will find that their money
has been squandered.
{. There is u vast portion Of the
Imperial valley which can be re-
claimed in the years to come, and
it is TO be hoped that the govern
nent will take up that work on
shat basis which viii recognize
the rights of people who already
have acquired land and water
rights and are in good faith i'm
proving their property.
The adriccs thus far received
are very meagFe and do not
specify the particular land that
has been withdrawn, but is it !
taken for granted that the gov
erument has made the selection |
with wisdom.
The reclamation OF this great |
body Of land, which will make |
the total irrigated area of this
great valley reach a million
acres. must imply the impound
ing of water along the Colorado, |
that the Good waters can be held !
IN check for irrigation during |
the period of greatest demand,
and when this is done, the water
of the majestic river will be am
pie to meet all the requirements
for all time.
When this work is carried out /
there will be here, indeed, new
Egypt. |
