The District sought TO acquire the
four squares by condemnation proceed

about s13S.O00. These figures were

Negotiations have since been in prog

INCOME STATEMENT.
The total operating revenues for 1918 show an
increase of Ave per cent. 1914. but were
smaller than those for 1913. Satisfactory con-
illusions cannot he derived from comparisons with
the results of 1914, unless It be considered that
in that year and during the early months Of
1a15 the industries Of the Country were suffer-
ing from general depression. Since then. how
ever nearly all classes of industry in this Coun-
,rv have experienced an increasing prosperity.
While the increase in your freight revenues
fprfncipally in the Merchandise tra1c) can be at
,ributed largely to the transporta ton Of supplies
for Europe the advance Of approximately i've
per cent in certain Merchandise freight rates.
which became effective in the early part Of 1918,
was also helpful. So far as can be estimated,
the advance in these freight rates increased the
total freight revenues 2.86 per cent.
Operating Expenses decreased IL per cent.
comnared with 1914. This decrease was entirely
in the Transportation Expenses. due to an &C
counting change by which these expenses are re-
ueyed from freight charges on the Company s
lines for transporting material and fuel used by
IL: and also to Il reduction in the fuel consumed
resulting from the more. extensive use Of loco
motive superheaters, and to increased efficiency.
Railway Operating Income increased 81? per
cent. compared with the unsatisfactory results
Of 1914 and 10 per cent. compared with 1913.
The Net Income for 1915 amounted to

Other Sales Expected Soon.

Other deeds are expected to be re-
corded shortly, as it is understood that
a majority of the owners have agreed
to take price about twice the assessed
value for their holdings. These figures
would bring the total cost of the site
to $4,000 Congress appropriated
$4,000 for the acquisition of the land.

building this afternoon whether arrange
ments had been made for the purpose for
all the property contained within the
square. In the event that the govern.
ment cannot reach satisfactory terms
with some of the owners condemnation
proceedings probably will be instituted to
acquire the ground necessary.
The Commissioners hope to have the
sale completed by the beginning of the

PHILIPPINE PROBLEMS.
V.-Mindanao and SuIu.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

One third of the land area of the
Philippines is included in the Depart
ment Of Mindanao and Sulu. Practically
all the Mohammedans and third OF
the pagans Of the archipelago live in
this one department. 1t was kept I'M
der military government twelve years
longer than the rest of the Philippine
group. 1t has always been treated as
distinct problem. and must continue
to be SO treated for some time.
In Luzon and the Visayans. the prin-
cipal northern islands, the civilized
Filipino population greatly predomi-
mates. In Mindanao and Sulu there are
10000 Christians, 10000 pagans and
more than 100000 Mohammedans. A
single province of the department is a
state the size Of Massachusetts,: the
area of the whole is greater than that
of Denmark and Holland put together.
The Office of governor is probably the
most important under the Philippine
commission.
Mindanao and Sulu had a particularly
unsavory reputation when we took the
islands from Spain. We kept them un-
der military control from 1899 to the
end of 1913. Then the civil govern
ment, which had been gradually Co
operating more and more fully with
the army, took the reins. and every
body who had been following the sit
uation held his breath. Nothing hap
pened.

been carried on according to age-old
customs. but none of the general up
risinxs that many people feared have
eventuated. The pagans OF Mindanao
were always amenable to American in
fuence. but the Moros have made much
trouble in years gone by. Now they
are living at peace not only with the
Americans. but even with Christian
Filipinos from the north. They are let
ting these Filipinos fill some of the Of
fees of administration over them-a
thing that they often asserted in the
past they would never permit. They
are living down their old reputation
for turbulence and ferocity.
The Moros inhabit not only the main
island of Mindanao. but also the Sulu
archipelago that stretches southwark
and westward to Borneo. Sulu is, after
Mindanao, the largest of the islands,
the stronghold OF the Sultan OF Sulu,
whose capital Is at Jolo-a doughty
warrior whom Spain never succeeded in
subduing. Suiu was never famous for
it's moral atmosphere. The Sulu pirate
proas were known to every skipper
who sailed the seven seas The Moros
of Sulu took Filipino captives and
sold them for slaves in Borneo. The
men of Sulu were particularly fanat-
ical. even for MaIays, and particularly
liable to the distressing seizure known
as going "juramentado."

About Fall Pigs.

More fall pigs can be raised in Iowa
with profit-buC it is well to market
them in April, says the animal hus1
bandry department at Iowa State coli,
lege.
September fall pigs rightly handled
may be made to weigh better than
225 lbs, handy, demanded weight,
by April of the following year. It
is being done.
A simple ration of corn, meat meal
tankage and sk;m-milk or buttermillc
is excellent. Allow rock salt at free
will. Feed all feeds according to the
free choice system, that is, put each
in compartment and let the pigs eat
at will. Oats for fall pigs do not pay
if one has plenty of meat meal, tank,
age and milk o, plenty of either. ~
With zoe corn the Iowa station has
made gains on fall pigs for S514 per
hundred pounds. This compares fav-
orably to spring pig costs.
A return of S1.10 bushel Of corn
after crediting other feeds, when hogs
sell at sS, makes fine showing for
the fall pig and for the free choice
system of swine feeding.
Why not iced some fall pigs as
outlined, this winter?
