PUMPING PLANT
At APEL'S RANCH
Electric Company Complete Their
Line and Put in Pumping
Plant at Apel's Ranch,
Near Town.

The electric power line has
been completed to the ranch of
Repiamin APPEL, and the motor
installed at his new well.
They have given the new
pumping plant . thoroasA test,
and it has come up to or beyond
the highest expectations. After
running the pump constantly for
two afternoons at the rate OF
6fty gallons a minute, there was
no perceptable lowering of the
water level.
1t is said that the pump can
be run up to eighty gallons o
minute, and that the well will
easily stand the increased flow
With this amount Of water
great area Of land can be irrigat
ed easily and at very little cost
The system of pumping witt
electricity is undoubtedly the
proper one. 1t is so simple tha'
a child can start and stop thu
pump, and the cost of operating
is less than that of any othe
system.
1t is reported that many NOR
wells like the one at Mr.. APPEL
place will be put in in the nea
future.
The electric company run tn
lines free of charge to any com
munity, and the cost of the me
tor is less than that of a gasolin
engine, and the ''juIce" for tn
former will not cost near q
much as the gasoline for the lat
ter.

FILIPINOS FILE PROTESTS.
Claim That the Assembly Has Mis-
represented Them.

The bureau Of insular affairs is today in
receipt of a cablegram, stating that the
governor general Of the Philippine Is
lands is being flooded with kilograms
from the provinces of Negros Isabella i'm
Cagayan. Bulacan, Pampanga. Pangasi-
nan. Camarines. Laguna. Iloilo. Nueva
Ecija, urging that the assembly recede
from it's position with reference 10 the
Payne bill-that the sugar and tobacco
growers are quite exercised about the ac
ton of the assembly.
The Iloilo and Pampanga papers favor
the Payne bill and the Spanish papers
are against the bill. with the exception
of Libertas, which favors it. Several OF
the papers have changed front and all
of them representing local native inter
eSts favor the bill.
The nationalist party claims that the
original intent Of the resolution offered by
Senior Quezon was purely to call the at
tention OF Congress to the fact that the
riously affected, and the political tone OF
the resolution was injected by the pro-
gresistas
Twenty-Five of the larger tobacco manu-
facturers urge the passage OF the Payne
bill. Others are to be heard from. There
is no question that all sugar and tobacco
growers in the Philippine Islands desire
the passage of this Payne bill, which
merely carries out dhe petition signed by
two or three hundred thousand Filipinos
that is now in the files OF the ways and
means committee, and that the action
taken by the assembly was inspired by
foreign merchants, who feared that their
trade would be all lost in favor OF the
United States. together with a chance to
play little politics.
