for congress on the minority ticket. SEN
ator William Hose Of Bridgewater has
recently SHE'D his name into the ring for

Judge McNuity is the only prominent
announced candidate for congress in the
second district and is affiliated with the
minority faction. Attorney General John

in the third district. Judge Rice is receiv-

will be put forth by the minority in the
third district. DR.. Redfeld OF Rapid City
has announced his candidacy for the ma
jority nomination in the same district.
Senator Bartine is a receptive candidate
and it is thought that Speaker Tscharner
of Lennon would contest with Judge
Rice for the primary nomination.
Loucks Running Independently.
The respective factions are expected
to do much jockeying for position with
their platforms and notices, as each fac
ton under the law will put forth a plat
form. and the substance thereof III a
motto not exceeding sixteen words will
be the rallying call at the head OF the
ticket
1t Is not probable Independent candi-

and Farmers Alliance leader, who now
seeks entrance to the United States SEN
ate regardless Of factions. Loucks is an
able man and may surprise his opponents
especially Senator Crawford from whom
most Of his strength will come.
The situation in the state is peculiar
and it is predicted that when the propo-
sal committees meet at Pierre on Jan. 5
there will be a rallying ofspoliticians from
all over the state such as there has not
been since the day of the state conven

Porto Ricdn Progress in 1913

When our troops landed in Porto Rico in 1898
that island was practically unknown to the99American5
public, and at that time the most optimistic could
not have anticipated the spontaneous development
which has actually taken place in the last fifteen
years. This development. Industrial, educational and
otherwise. is shown in an interesting volume issued
by the Bureau of Insular Affairs containing the re.
ports of the Governor and other officials for the fiscal
year 1913.
This report shows that since 1901 the total ex.
ternal commerce of the island has increased some
6ve-fold, in round numbers the exports growing from
eight and a half millions to 4S millions; the imports
from less than nine to nearly 81 millions, while the
balance of trade, adverse in 1901 by a small amount,
is now more than 70 millions annually in its favor.
The island during the last year imported American
merchandise at the rate of more than 100000 for
each working day.
Although sugar amounted to more than halfsthe
total exports, or $26,619,15S, an increase made pos.
sible only by the influx Of American capital and ma.
chinery, together with the exceptionally favorable
underlying conditions more interest attaches to TIE
fact that Porto Rican coffee. of whose excellence
every native is proud. has shown a proportionate,y
more rapid increase than sugar during the last five
years, the exports for 1913 being ~$S,511,316, an in.
crease of 26 per cent over the preceding year. Proof
that the foundation Of a diversified agriculture has
been laid Is found in the increase Of oranges, pine.
apples, grapefruit, and other fruit from a total Of
31O9,801 in 1901 to s2,377 ,762 in 1912. ana $~3,12Os919

in the Islands especially erected for school purposes,
the total enrolment in the public schools was but
f26.O00, and 80 per cent of the entire population was
unable to read or write. A million souls with this
I high percentage Of illiteracy were domiciled within
$500 square miles, a population more dense than
that Of any part OF the United States except a few
manufacturing districts.
Instead OF one school house erected for that pur.
4 pose, there are today 105 graded school buildings.
many of Which compare %favorably with the better
class of school buildings in the cities of tbs United
States, and 24 rural school buildings. The school
enrolment has increased to 16l, 1855 and the general
percentage lOf ~lllteracy has been reduced TO &C. per
cent.
In The schools special attention is being paid to
practical courses. Among the night, schools, number

such %workmen, the establishment of similar schools
at other places will be tested. The people have re-
sponded magnifcently to their opportunities and the
Inspiration of educational advancement is obvious
throughout the island.
No less than 100000 cases OF uncinariasis (hook-
worm) have been treated, from which approximately
60,000 complete cures have been effected. Steady
progress lis being made in improving the general
health, as shown in the decreasesin the death rate
from 24.02 per thousand during the previous year to
22.35 per thousand.
An improvement in the general appearance and
sanitary conditions in most Of the municipalities is
evident, while the development of public works is
apparent in better streets, water supplies, sewer sys-
TENS, hospitals and otherwise.

the legislature has provided means for municipal
loans so that, in addition to the valuable local in

may be glad of any personal eontribu-

us to NEEDLE or advise them. Yet they
would doubtless accept any small con

tend to make a success of the fair. Why
