OPINIONS OF MY OWN
By Claudio Cap6.
. ---- -------Sa In further reference to-
THE FISH INDUSTRY the scarcity Of eatables

raised IN Porto RICO, we
9a beg to call the readers
attentionto the heavy imports Of all kinds of sh-stfs
dred canned etc., while the fishing and canning indus
tries are practically unknown in the Island
Why is that? Is it because the sea along coasts is
such that will not support the useful species of the nny
kind? Is the reader familiar with figures showing the
value of fish imported in the country? During the fiscal
year ending June 3d. 198 eleven hundred thousand
dollars worth of dried fish (cod hake etc., introdu
ced, while the value of the canned product little
over two hundred and sixty-seven thousand dollars
Don't you think reader that it is the duty of direct
ing casses Ii Government and leading citizens) to in
vestgate why the stupidity of importing many things
that could be easily raised right here and produced at
much lower cost while giving occupation to so many of
idle hands?
The Federal Government always solicitous for the hap
pness ofts citizens takes good to furnish at
significant cost all information regarding this productive
branch of industry In would be question of
studying which would be the best substitutes for goldfish
salmon etc in this climate and cultivate the species
but perhaps have already the proper animals and
in that case the problem would be simply to learn how
dry it. smoke it. can it and otherwise prepare it for the
market.
Are there business of vision in this Island ready
to sit down and figure how to good share Of the
above mentioned and at the same time render a
render great service to the community? Talk about
patriotism much you like but don't forget that this
is the kind that pays the best

BIGGEST WEEL OF FORTUNE

Furthermore, we want this
machine so constructed that when
once the numbers have been IN
troduced into the urn it will be
impossible for anybody to fool
with them. A child must not
even be able to put his hand into
the vessel or touch the numbers
within. Now, M. Vico, get to
work and see what you can do for.

| NJ yico, who all his life has
Ibeei a great ssdmirer and student
of Edison, then produced one of
the most remarkable apparatuses
ever seen in Europe. It is huge
orange-shaped hollow sphere, the
framework Of which is of steel,
filled in with half-inch thick panes
of glass so that the contests of the
sphere can be plainly seen.
This monster sphere or "oran-
| ge", twenty feet high by eighteen
feet broad, is supported six feet
from the ground by two iron
stanchions, which hold the axle
tree of the sphere at each side.
At the top of the sphere is a small
aperture or hole no greater in cir
cumference than a mans tumb,
and communicating by a short
tube with the interior. Into this
interior the Cartridges" contain
| ing the numbers of the bonds are
shot automatically by means of
electricity. When they are all in,
a camera, and moving almost as
rapidly as snapshot apparatus,
is closed by a spring, and an out
er brass shutter is clasped to and
locked with three patent keys
specially made in America and
sent for the purpose to France.
4 The aperture, thus locked, is
sealed with white tape, on which
! is set the great red seals of the
lefty.
\ When drawing takes place the
huge globe, or sphere, is revolved
by means Of small wheels, fixed
a at each end of the axletree, NOV
J ed by electric power. This moves
up the numbers. Whehn the globe
elcomes to standstill the aperture

BONUSES FOR PARIS CITY
BOND ISSUE

After every great war specula
tive fever sweeps the countries af-
fected. In Paris, the city is to af-
ford an outlet for the impulse to
WOO fortune by a kind of bond lot
terry, in which bonuses running as
high as $25O,OOO and aggregating
100000. 900, are to be given to the
holders of lucky numbers.
To do this it was necessary to
construct aSgiant "Wheel of For
tune" and8 the task fell to NJ.
Vico, an engineer living in Colon
bes, suburb of Paris. He is a
manufacturer of scientific instru-
ments to tie Paris municipality,
and has been instructed to make
a hollow vessel big enough to hold
several millions Of cartridges, in
to which it will be impossible even
for child to insert his hand.
Perfect Autrand, Civil Cover
nor of Paris and district, sent for
Mr.. Nico not long since and said
to him:
"See here, Vico, you know the
City Council has been authorized
by the Congress of France to is
sue big liquidation loan so as
to enable the city to clear off the
big debt itshas contracted during
the war. The loan will amount to
$3OO,OOO,OOO (1,5OO,OOO,OOO OF
francs) in B per cent. $10O bonds
to be ISSUED exclusively to the
public in France and offered al
$96. That means 3, 3,125, 900 bonds
"All these bonds are to be mum
bered, andb are to be gradually
paid off at par, that is, at $1OC
each, in the course of the next
sixty years, by six redemption
drawings per annum. The du
plicate numbers Of the bonds, in
cased in small brass cartridges
must be locked up in a single
urn at the time the loan is issued
At each dfawifg, apart from th'
several thousand bonds to b
drawn at par, there will also b
several hundred bonds to b
drown with important bonuses
ranging from $25O,OOO down t
$1,000 each.
"Now, we want you to make 70
us, as quickly as possible, yesse

3,125,OOO numbers, sealed UP i

RURAL HEALTH ACT

Surgeon General Blue of the Unit
ed States public health service ad-
vises that there has been introduced
in the present session of congress, a
bill known as the Rural Health
Act" This act will give federal aid
to the various states by allotting
money to be expended for the sani-
tation Of rural districts contingent
upon the appropriations by The
states of similar sums.
The present Oregon Legislature
urges the state board of health
should provide contingent appro-
priation in order to get the benefit
of this federal aid and says that this
states allotment would be $2S,702..
So. The solons at Salem should gel

iier to do, of course, is to act as

Promoters of such schemes are
aware that there is big heart
throbbing in the breast of the Amer
lean people and that they would re-
spond to an appeal to a man in uni
form while under the same circum-
stances would turn deaf ear to the
man in civilian clothes.
Most soldiers are clever enough to
see through such schemes and would
resent such a proposition, but the

PEOPLE ARE USED TO 1T

Swift & Company and the other
-" ms packing concerns have been
spending hundreds Of thousands OF
dollars during the past few weeks In
an attempt to tell why the price OF
meat is high. This money was spent
for advertising in the magazines and
newspapers throughout the United
States. The packers state that dur
ing the past three years cattle prices
have advanced IA per cent, while
they have raised the wages Of pack
ing house laborers over 100 pei
cent. But the public has become sc
accustomed to the H. c. Of l.. that
the intelligence is received with in
difference. Prices remain the same
