Friar Lands Fertile.


These lands are fertile. 1t is said by
observers who have studied Filipino
agriculture that they are very choice
lands, capable of producing more on
the average than the other agricultural
areas of the islands, acre for acre. The
policy of congress and the administra
ton was to preserve and conserve these
lands, with the rest of the public do
main in the Islands, for the Filipino
people. That is the understanding of
Mr. Martin, who came to congress
Yeas after the organic law was enact
ed. 1t is the theory of many other ear
nest conservators.
Congressman Martin believes that
rot only the San Jose estate, but the
Isabella and the Calamba estates.
which have been sold ostensibly TO in
dividuals, in reality have been acqulr
ed by agents of corporations.
The Calamba estate is historical. II
is within thirty miles of Manila by
rail and is one of the richest sections
in the island of Luzon. The Philip.
pine revolution of 1896 resulted from
the controversy between the friars
and the tenants over the ownership of
this estate. The Spaniards seized.
court martialed and shot Jose Rial.
perhaps the most noted Filipino of the
day. The Calamba estate was claim
ed by the Rial family and their ten
ants. Mr. Martin AYERS that this
beautiful estate has passed into the
ownership of the Dillingham; sugar in
