oanish Possession of Nearly Four
Hundred Years.

Historically the island is most in,
teresting. Discovered by Columbus ON
his second voyage November 18th,
1893, it remained Spanish possession
until the signing of the peace protocol
in August, 1898 between Spain and
America and the Stars and Stripes
were hoisted in place of the red and
yellow of ancient Spain. With COlum-
bus came romantic and adventurous
"Conquistador" the original apostle of
Christian Science, one Juan Ponce de
Leon Ponce (sound the final e. was
enamoured Of the wonderful luXuri-
ance and fertility of the island and
later came back and planted a colony.
Here it was that Ponce laid the foun-
dations for the fortified city of San
Juan and erected the famous Casa
Blanca" or white house which still
looks out over the beautiful blue sea,
and here it was that he outfitted his
excursion in search of the mythical
fountain of youth and here it was that
his remains were brought when an
Indian arrow laid him low and he fl.
nally succumbed in Havana.
Ponce de Leon Still Prominent.
10 yrhil
dead, is still a prominent figure in
Porto Rico His bones repose in a
shady niche in the magnificent cathe-
dral of San Juan But they have not
always rested Until 1863 his remains
were deposited in the ancient San Jose
church before which a bronze statue
Of Ponce stands sentinel. In that year
his bones were transferred to the ca
thedral with imposing ceremonies. On
many state occasions the inhabitants
held a funeral over the remains of the
departed explorer and his remnants
were paraded with great dignity. AT.
ter the American occupation kindly
bishop from New York state placed
the few remaining parts in sacred
receptacle and reverently sealed them
in a granite niche where it is to be
hoped they will remain.
We have loose way Of referring to
Spanish.American countries as Latin.
America, This only partly tells the
tale. Latin in this sense means Spain,
and there is no use Of robbing Spain
Of the mantle of her departed glories
by a change of appellation, From
Ponce de Leon down to the American
occupation and even to the present
day the stamp Of Spain is written all
over the countries south Of the Rio
Grande and particularly Is this true of
Porto Rico. For four hundred years
this island remained a Spanish pos
session. Forgotten at times by the
mother country she still remained
true to her ancestry and her fort
ressed city repelled all invaders. Span
lsh architecture, Spanish customs and
the Spanish language obtained In all
its original purity, and some OF the
social customs planted In the begin

Erastus ]. Carter, insurance commits
soner Of Maine. has issued the following,
as Bulletin No. Il Of the department, re-
garding the Maine potato crop, and the
necessity of protecting the harvested crop
by insurance:
Names Potato Crop.
Names most important contribution to
the world food supply is represented bv
It's potato-crop, grown chiefly in the
northern part Of our State Approx
mately one-half of this crop is stored in
warehouses along the right of way Of
railroads until sent to market These
houses join or are closely built in rows
and many OF them are situated along sid :
1ngs outside of fire protection 1t is esti-
mated that these houses in our northern
counties represent a monetary value Of
approximately 100000: that they will
contain approximately 3,5oo,ooo barrels Of
potatoes. Appraise this crop at sucn
price per barrel your judgment die
tates, and YOU will readily appreciate the
immense value of this crop, not alone to
Maine. but to America.
In this time of war every one comedies
the wisdom and necessity of conserving
our food resources. Patriotism has led Ia
the planting of an increased acreage in
every part of our State, and the potato
crop has an increased planting estimated
at from 10 to 300 above the average anil
covering between 5000 and 5000 acres
Maine always produces a potato crop
even IN bad years. In the absence g ex-
traordinary conditions a few months.
time will give us another crop to store
and market
Past years have seen considerable
percentage Of this crop destroyed by fire.
The situation of the storage houses al
noted above. in rows and outside of pro-
tectlon' presents very hazardous comb
ton. It Is estimated that last year suffi-
cient potatoes were lost by fire to feed
an entire State. Much Of this loss NAV
De avoided, and in this time of threatened
1000 famine it becomes the duty Of every
citizen to do all possible to avert such A
loss II only one-half CT the loss of last
year may be prevented then we have
added considerably to the nations food
supply.
Here is an opportunity for each ana
every person connected with the produce
ing and marketing Of our potato crop to
render his country specific and special
service. Let US safeguard the storage of
this food crop; make our potato ware
houses safe, standard houses; build cut
ofrs or fire stops OF brick walls between
houses situated In rows; repair them;
equip them with proper heating appara-
tus and have such apparatus carefully op-
Grated when the time for use shall come.
So far as It is possible let US guard
ettinst any possible cause Of loss by fire.
This duty falls heaviest upon those in

pIaint-Peaks Island Case Dismissed

Under the abnormal conditions ex-
listing to day we frankly and emphatic
ally state that we are reluctant to in
terfere with established rates which are
not clearly shown to eXcecd a fair re-
turn for the service rendered under
such conditions say the Maine Public
Utilities Commission in a decision
rendered on the complaint of the
Eastern Manufacturing Co and others
against the Bangor G. Aroostook Rail-
road and the Maine Central Railroad,
alleging that the rates, minimum
weight regula lions and methods of
routing pulp wood and other forest
products from points on the line Of the
Railroad are unlawfully discriminatory
railroad and that Of the Maine Central
Railroad are unlawfully discriminatory
as applied to them.

year ago last March, lasted four days.
To reduce these rates on the evil
6ence presented to US a year ago in the
race OF the conditions which existed
when the case was argued and that
have been constantly growing more and
more oppressive since then, would be
an arbitrary exercise Of power which
might very likely result ultimately in
placing corresponding increase on other
commodities where it is not clear that
the value Of the service exceeded the
rates charged" states the decision.
which is lengthy and concludes:
This does not mean that no reduc-
uon Will at any time be made in the
rates complained Of. nor that the
spread between the Millinocket rates
and junction points rates may not I'M

declared to be, an unjust discrimina-
