was his work that Harry Wolver-

What Mcmillan will be able to

his alarming lack OF size Barring
that, he has everything that goes

IN
PHILIPPINES
ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE AT
THIS TIME As ALL OTHER PoR-
TIoNs OF THE FAR EAST ARE
EXPERIENCING DEPRESSION.
By Winfield Jones.)

Washington, June 1.-The general
prosperity of the Philippine Islands at
a time when all other portions Of the
Far East are experiencing more or less
Industrial and commercial depression
Is the one notable trade feature this
year.
The most significant development, in
some respects, is to be noted in the
Moro country in the province Of Min
daIao, of which Zamboanga Is the cap
iIal. Until within the last few years
most of this province was more or
less controlled by savages-tribes OF
wild men known as the strongest,
Lravest and most warEke of the Fill
ipino peoples, the last to be brought
within the influence of American ad-
ministration. Eighty-five per cent of
the population is still savage or semi
civilized, without the least idea OF
popular government
The policy of the American admin
istrators in Mindanao, however. has
been gradually to show the people the
advantages Of peace and order, to
teach them to cultivate their land
and 70 husband their resources, and to
advance as far and as rapidly along
the paths Of civilization as may be
POSSIBLE for themselves and to partic-
ularly to advance the next generation.
To d. this the provincial authorities
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1912-06-02

and has at the same time encouraged
them to produce products for sale by
providing a ready market for their sur
plus at prices corresponding with those
received for such goods in other por-
tions Of the Philippines and elsewhere.
The annual report Of the governor OF
Mindanao indicates in a striking man
ner the result Of this policy.
The development indicated and the
administrative work responsible for
much of the advance are in some re-
spects typical of the entire situation In
the Philippines There are many dis
tTicts in the islands capable OF even
more rapid development than the
Moro country. OF this region itself
much may be said. Hemp, cocoanuts,
rice and tobacco are the principle low
land products; but there are unlimited
possibilities at various attitudes for
coffee. cotton, sisal, rubber. fruits, for
age, and cereal plants. All tropical
and semi-tropical fruits do especially
well in this province. Some of those
actually grown are the mango. banana,
pineapple, cocoanut, orange, lemon,
mangosteen, citron, cocoa, pomele, pa
paya, lime, fig, breadfruit, litchi. guava
and DURAN. All garden vegetables are
successfully cultivated.
The agricultural experiment station
work for tropical districts in the Phil
ippines is being conferred at San Ra-
monfarm near Zamboanga, where work
is done by provincial prisoners under
the direction of an expert loaned by
the department of agriculture in
Washington. With this farm as a nu-
cleus, with an agricultural school for
rative boys in each district, and with
Q system Of tribal farming under for

not only "pacifying' the country, but
starting the people to take advantage
OF their wonderfully rich natural re-
sources. The use Of foreign goods, as
a matter Of course, IL greatly in the
increase. Naturally trade with the
othed Philippines and with the outside
world has been the inevitable result,
and the development OF theze pro-
vinces in aid of the native inhabitant
