ing in the dusty roadway whose
bodies were absolutely raw with
smallpox. The wells were shallow
and the water was infected with ty-
phoid germs. I have noted as many
as rs funerals during a single day
In the rainy season; and this reminds
me of their methods of burial.
In each native cemetery there
were graves and vaults, the latter
constructed in the adobe walls that
surrounded the cemetery grounds.
The natives were very devout church
attendants and the high and low
alike were buried with church SER
vices. The only difference in lass
appeared later when the poorer
classes failed to pay the grave rent.
In that event the bodies were dug up,
thrown on the bone pile, and the
grave rented to another. The bodies
were wrapped in a rattan covering
and carried to the cemetery on a
tray on the shoulders of four men.
The tray was then returned to the
church for the next corpse.
From the standpoint of vegetation,
the islands are most wonderful. The
palm, cocoanut and banana trees and
the endless variety of ferns that grow
in wanton abandonment are indeed
beautiful in the extreme. The large
variety of fruits, combined with rice
and fish, furnished a varied diet for
those whose constitutions could stand
the malaria attacks likely to follow
a too bounteous meal of such rations.
The soldiers were ever tempted by a
sight of fruit baskets loaded with
oranges, bananas, sicos, ~breadfruit,
~pineapples, mangoes, but most of
these we're tabooed by the post sur
geon as too dangerous a diet. When
we felt too lazy to go out and gather
the fruit for ourselves, we could al
ways buy it from the fruit vendors
cheaper than we could steal it-or-
anges 20 for a penny; bananas at
about the same price, pineapples, a
cent each.
The principal industry of the is
lands was the culture of sugar cane,
rice, hemp and tobacco. Of these
crops the latter was something you
had to get used to-"
Never will I forget my first ex-
perience with a native cigar. The to-

up three cigars before I came to the
conclusion that the first was not

liked the flavor. The tobacco chew

ficulty, but finally toughened their
mouths to the native weed.

qu~artering and eating the other half
If their %parasols were not needed
they would be balanced on the head
The men were, likewise, set against
using their hands for carrying any
thing. They usually used a sort OF
yoke, made of hard wood, and carried
their burdens fastened to each end.
We were quartered for a time near
/ sugar warehouse, and many the
time I've noticed native men fill a
basket with sugar and fasten it on
one end of his yoke and fill the other
basket with rocks to make them
balance.
The caribou or water buffalo was
used nearly exclusively in hauling the
loads, which were placed in a two
wheeled cart, the wheels of which
we're solid discs of hardwood with a
fixed axle. The drivers usually rode
the caribou, using a jerk line fastened
to a ring in the animals nose as a
control.
These animals worked very we'll for
a time, but let them get the scent OF
water and travelling ceased for sew
eral hours while they wallowed in the
mud. These rests suited the native
drivers very we'll as they were never
very work brittle. There were a few
small, scrawny ponies that were used
to pull carramettas, or light, two
wheeled buggies. 1t took the ma
tives some time to get over their Won
derment at the "grande cabalios"
(large horses) of the American cav
airy, and more especially the mules.
Their mode of cultivating the soil
was as ancient as that of their travel.
The rice paddles were diked during
the dry season and as soon as they be-
came soaked, after the rains started,
they were plowed with the ancient
one shovel one-handled pillow we used
to see pictured in our Sunday school
papers, with the driver and caribou
wading knee deep in the mud and
water. The rice was then broad
casted on the water and left to find
it's own seed bed.
Natives easily Influenced
Due to their utter ignorance, the
natives we're easily influenced. I re-
call when Judge William H. Taft,
then civil governor of the islands,
came to Batangas to inaugurate a
civil government for that province,
which was in the extreme southern
part of the island of Louzon. The
people we're apparently very anxious
for a chance to begin governing
themselves and worked for several
days erecting a huge welcome arch at
the intersection of the two princi-

not granted civil government at that
time, nor while I vas on the islands.
Beginning Education
1t was shortly after this that two
American women, government teach
ers, came to open schools. Their ex-
periences were varied, indeed, indeed.
After arranging for school rooms, it
was announced in the church, the only
advertising medium for the natives,
that school would open the following
day. 1t was the honest intention of
the teachers to do so, but when they
viewed the assembled children the
next day, they decided to delay "
eral days, as only about n out of
every 10 children wore any clothes
at all. The youngsters at that time
seldom thought of clothes until they
were about 10 or IL years of age.
The teachers began making dresses
for the girls and trousers and coats
for the boys and forbade them coming
to school without them. 1t was anus
ing to see the children going to school
with their clothes rolled up under
their arm, pop behind an adobe
wall and don them and proceed to
school. The reverse would happen as
as they were out of sight of the
school room.
Guerilla Warfare
Most of our fighting was of the
guerilla variety. Small rowing bands
of insurrectos, carrying arms of every
make, from the flintlock to the
modern Mauser. Often we would
capture ammunition, the shells of
which were home made of strips of
tin wound around in the shape of a
she'll and match heads were used for
Military orders were issued
against the possession or sale of any
but safety matches.
Small cannon were sometimes used
by these bands against us. These
we're made by wrapping wire closely
a large joint of bamboo and
in a charge of lead slugs. AS
a rule these cannon were as danger
ous for those behind it as those in
front.
In southern Louzon, the craftiest
leader and the hardest to capture
was General Mulvar, the "head hunt

most, and I have known them to come

FAITHFUL AIREDALE DOG
WATCHES SPROUCESs GRAVES

When Mr.. and Mrs. Seth Ora Dan
ner cleaned up camp after the alleged
murders at Central Park, November
16, 1920, they forgot one thing.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sprouce had an Aire-
dale dog which they had brought
with them from their home in South
Dakota. After the alleged crimes
were committed and the banners had
left, the dog remained and day after
day without food kept to the place
where he had last seen his master.
Efforts were made by persons in
Central Park to coax the animal
away, and sometimes he would go,
but only to get something to eat, then
he would return to his vigil.
There are people in Central Park
who recall the strange actions of the
Airedale now, but at the time nothing
was thought of it except that the
owners had abandoned him.

Estimate of Possible Income


These statements and figures are not exagger-

reasonable and fair expectations; we believe they
will be fully realized on. Experience on the lease,
so far, ~justifies more optimistic assertions.
Three completed wells now produce 900 barrels
per day. There is room on the lease for 1872 wells,
allowing ten acres to each well. When all are
drilled in, as they are contracted to be-, they
should, at least, produce 100 barrels per day on
an average-the field average of all wells drilled
to date is LAT barrels-or a total of 10, 200 barrels
per day, SIG, 5000 barrels per month, or 6,912,00O
barrels per year, of which amount Al per cent, or
2,833,920 barrels, will be the property of Hogan
Oil Company and it's stockholders. Crude oil is
now lower in price than since the pre-war period.
Competent judges %prophesy that before three years
Kevin-Sunburst oil will be selling at the we'll for
$500 per barrel. During the entire life of this
field it should sell at not less than $2.00 per barrel,
on an average, and If it does average this reason
able price, it will mean, in dollar value of oil for
Hogan Oil Company's equity, $5,667,84O, or more
than two times the entire par value of its stock
each year. An opportunity for big profit in an
investment so safeguarded as to make loss i'm
possible!
