THE GUAM RECORDER, AGANA. GUAM.

THROUGH THE BACK COUNTRYI f one were asked to name the least accessible part

of this island by either vehicle or \.vater transporta-t ion i t would probably be the headwaters of the Talo-fofo, that strange river I,vhich starts on the easternslope of Mount Al i fan as the Bonya, disappears un-derground and reappears in the Fena Distr ict"as theZadtc Maagas, continues to an old abandoned bridgeon the once famous Sinajana trai l to Inarajan fronrwhich point the natives call i t the Tenacho to thejunction with the Ugum and then the Talofofo forthe last mi le before i t empt ies into Talofofo Bay.

Start ing f rom Agat on horseback the Chief of In-dustr ies accompanied by Mr. Tai tano, Agr icul turalExtension Agent and Mr. Bi tanga, Chief Forester,recent ly mede a t r ip through this conntry and downto Inarajan and thence to Agana fol lowing the coastto the I l ig River br idge. A br ief descr ipt ion of thecountry t raversed may be of interest to others i r isearch of the less beaten trails.

Leaving Agat one turns to the r ight immediatelyaf ter crossing the r iver just north of the town andtakes the old Agat short cut which enters the Pi t i -Sumay road near the Atantano River. This road isbadly orzergrown but sti l l passable for a car. A l itt lemore than half r,vay across one reaches a plain loottrail leading up the Paulana valley and across thefoothil ls between Mount Tenjo and the southernrange of motlntaif ls. This trail, passable only forpack animals, leads to rhe large area owned by theAgricultural Experiment Station known as Cotallocated on the plateau just beyond the divide. ITerethe party met Mr. James Barbour, the resident super-

visor in charge of the stock development work forwhich the stat ion uses this t ract . None of the catt lewere in sight as ali of the higher open country tvaspracticall l ' bare at this time of the year, near the end.of the dry season and the c.rtt le were feecling in thebrush and jungle along the water courses furthersout l l .

From Cotal the route cont i r rues along the bare up-lands with only occasional patches of cogon (sword)grass and scattered tufts of the native bunch grasscalled "chaguan manog" unti l after passing thriughthe Iraguina district one colnes to the upper reacliesof the Togcha River. Immediately af ter crossing thesmooth rock bed of the stream one eflters a densebundoc of breadfrui t , dugdug, chopag and nanyother var iet ies of large trees with an impenetrableundergrowth of lemon-de-china and tangan-tanganal l arc l ied over the t ra i l so low as to be barely over ahorse's head.

After somewhat less than a hal f n i le of burdox thetrai l comes out on the open agr icul tural country andcoconut groves of the Mata Distr ict some distanceabove Talofofo'school. Continuing along the levelplateau south past the school one reaches the ec.1ge ofthe bluff where the traii makes a sharp descent of 3C0feet to the shore of Talofofo Bay. Arr iv ing heresometime afier noon the party fed and lr,atered thehorses and started on foot up the Talofofo valley toinspect the old Spanish br idge some two mi les up theval ley.

On the advice of the raf t tender that the t ra i l a longthe r iver was badl5z overgrown the party tock a shortcut up an adjacent ravine and over the interrreningr i<lge to the old br idge. Near the foot of the far s ideof the r idge just before coming out on the level nread-ow of the r iver val ley the t ra i l passed direct ly be-tween the stones of a large lat te. This ancicnt Cha-

. morro burial ground was surrounded by a forest ofdank crooked trees covered with moss and parasiticgrowths, altogether a most spectral place and evenone r,vho has never heard of taotaomona misht wellhesi tate to take this t ra i l on a dark night.

Just beyond this lat te at the edge of the forest thetrai l passed through a smal l grove of bear ing cocoatrees rv i th the reddish purple pods carelessly grou' ingout of the bare s ide of a l imb or even the bole of thetree i tsel f . Cont inuing up the val ley a hal f .mi le orso the party arr ived at the o1d br idge of n 'h ich oneabutment of rubble masonry \ , { ,as st i l1 in perfect con-di t ion but the other abutment had caved in and thewooden deck structure was ent i re lv gone.

On further inquir ies f rom an old nat ive woman l i r ' -ing near there the party \,vas informed that the traila long the r iver was in good condi t ion and in retnrn-ing th is way i t was found much better and easier thanthe al leged short cut .

Contint.r ing dor,r 'n the winding trai l from Ipachol tothe Paul i luc val ley and thence in to Inarajan over apart ly surfaced bul1 cart road the party arr ived int ime for a f ine supper at the hospi table home of Mr.trt lar iano Guerrero.

Returning the party stopped at the Talofofo caves.The path to these caves leaves the trai l about t r , r ,o-th i rds the way up the bluf{ north of Talofofo Bay andwinds to the east about a 15-minute u,alk. l lhe bestvierv is f rom the opening to the main hal l but thereis a sheer drop of at least a hundred feet f rom thisoirening an.1 the entrance is by the smal ier connect-ing cave which descends more graclual iy requir ingthe use of a rope for orr ly about 25 feet.

Mr. Pedro Mart inez - Agent for Dodge BrothersN{otor Cars, presents the fo1lor,r'ing:

' 'PEDRO'S COMMANDMENTS"

1. Dr ive on the r ight s ide of the road at a l l t ines;the bumps on the lef t are just as bad as thcse on ther ight .

2. Slow down when approaching turns and cor-ners; i t is as dangerous as going down a steep hi11.

3. Always be on the look-out for chi lc l ren. Youcan never te l i what the} ' rv i l1 do, and you are alwaysto blame i f you happen to hi t one.

4. Try to help, rather than hinder the Patroknan;he is there for your good, and his job is not an easyone.

5. Be sure that your DIMMERS rea1ly din; i t 'sno joke dr iv ing into a bl inding glare on these narrolvroads.

6. Read, and obey al l warning signals; they arel1ot p11t up as ornaments.

7. I f at any t ime you feel that you must speecl ,do i t rvhere you won' t k i1 l any one but yoursel f .

B. When stoppir :g for anv purpose, do so on ther ight s ide of the roacl where your car niay be plainlyseen froin a,1i d i rect ions; othel$r jse, you may stoplonger than you ant ic ipated.

9. Speeding arouncl corners is a straight route tothe hospi ta l , and sorue day you'11 be sorry.

10. Use common sense. The mere fact that l ,ouhad the r ight .of-n 'ay, $ 'on' t br ing your r ; ic t im l rackto 1i fe, least of a l l yoursel f .

The mother and babywere sent to the hospi ta l as soon as they could belanded, and late reports state th.at both are doing well.

The reef projeci ing f rom Cabras Is land is not highcnough to form a, conrplcte defence against the seaon thc \,vcst cnd northwest,, there being 20 feet ormore of water at low t idc ovcr much o{ i t , so thatthe heavy srvel l of ther sea outside st i rmounls i t , d is-turbing violcnt iy the waters of the pol t ( r ,vhen thervind is in the rvest or northrtest , ) .

The Port of Apra, unquest ionabi l . 1h" best in thearchipelago, is the only one used as such by vesseiscoming from outside.

Besides this harbor, on the rvest coast also are t i resmal l bays of Agana and Tepungan, facing to thenorth; of Dade below Orote Peninsula; of Jat i in thesouthern hal f of the is land; andof Nler izo, protectedby a smal l is lend (cal led Coccs Is land ) at the sol l th-ernnost point of Guarn. On the southeast ccast,the ba,ys of Jajal 'an and of Acfayan, exposed to theeast; on the east coast, the bays of Inarajan (ni th avery di f icul t entrance), of Talofofo and of Pago, thelast two unshel tered from the east s ' int1. A11 these,by reasorr of their srnal l entrance channels, as wel las becau;e of the pounding man5z of them get f romthe surf , are sui table only for coastr ,v ise t raf f ic incanoes or snal l boats.

The harbors of Agana and Tepulgan are fhe onlyones used by lhe inter is land boats - up to 100 tons,- which carry on trade n' j th t l re northern is lends;and before the discovery of Apra Harbor, MerizoBay was formerly the port of cal l for vessels coni ingfrom Mani la.

Roadsteads and Bays:- Ships may auchor, a1so, inseveral roadsteads ancl bays with good bot iom al l onthe west s ide because rhe unprotected east coast isexposed to the prevai l ing rv inds. One of these openroadsteads, shel tered from north, east and southwinds, is to be f .ound in the middle of the northernhal f of the west coast, c lose to Point Fasonan fromwhich it takes its name. (Translator's Note: On many

SPANISH GOVERNORS OF GUAM

F'rom L66B to 1898, at the t ime of the Americanoccupation, sonre sixty governors and acting govern-ors f rom Spain, administered the af ia i rs of th is l i t t leis iand. Dur ing these two hundred and thir ty years,i t is interest ing to note the length of t ime that someof these governors remained in Guam.

We f ind that f ive remained 1 year, twelve 2 years,four 3 years, e ight 4 years, e ight 5 years, s ix 6 years,two 7 years, two 8 years, one 9 years, two 10 years,and two 11 years. When the condi t ions of l i fe inthose early years are considered, it is remarkable hor,vthese offrcers of the Spanish army ard navy rnanagedto exist for long terms of duty here. In th is day ofmodern conveniences of which Guam can boast agood share, i t is not c leemed advisable to keep ser l icepersonnel in Guam longer than eighteen months oriooo y"r , rs, and dur ing th is per iod i t is thought neces-sary that they spend a month or two vacation aq'ayfrom the is land to recl lperate their heal th. I f thoselvho complain of their forced sojourn here, wouldonly stop and think, and try to place themselves inthe position of the Spanish officials rvho l ived inGuam before the Ameri.can occupation, they r,vouldappreciate much mcre al l the improvements, conven-iences, and luxur ies which lve enjoy today.

Inarajan:- Patrolman R. D. Keig, reports that thepeople of his district are anxiousiy au'ait ing for therun of "Atu1ai" , a f ish usual ly enter ing the Inarajanharbor about th is t ime of the year, and which arecaught in large quant i t ies by drag nets. Last yearsomething over 30,000 of these f ish were caught inone hau1. Recent ly a large "Gadao", r ' re ighing 417pounds and over seven feet i r r length, was spearednear the Talofofo i3ay. Very few of these fish arecaught by the nat ive f ishermen as they are a Ceep seaf ish, and can only be taken with spear or harpoon.

During the mouth of June, I , ieut . -Comdr. H. C.Fischer, Chief of Industr ies, v is i ted the distr ict ac-companieC by Mr. Francisco Tai tano, and NIr . JoseBitanga.

A considerable port ion of land in the v ic in i ty ofInarajan is being set out in sw'eet potatoes this yearin addition to the various other crops, but there islitt le encouragement for the farmers to produce muchmore than is actual ly required for their own r1se,The shipment.of vegetables etc. , to the Agana nrar-kets, rvhich must be reached via Nlerizo and thenceby boat to Piti and by truck to Agana, is oiten a veryunprof i table ventr l re. In addi t ion to the loss of t imeand the diff iqulties the farmer must enconnter ingett ing his produce to nrarket, much of h is labor islost , and he hesi tates in plant ing more than can bedisposed of in his own distr ict .

Merizo-Umatact-Patrolman Rol l ie R.

r ious, contagious or infect ious l i r re-stock diseases.The stockrnen of the Phi l ippine Is lands for instarrce,would scarcely bel ieve that there is any is ianc' l of anyconsiderable s ize in th is part of the Tropics wir ich isfree of r inderpest, foot and mouth, anthrax and others:r :h dre"rded cl t t le diseases.

We have tr,vo diseases, holvever, rvhich trearlyevery year canse considerable losses to the farrrers ofthe is land. These are hog choiera and chicken pox.F'or a number of rnonths past these pests hat 'e beenqui te prevalent.

Much of the loss f rom these causes could no doubtbe prevented through the general pract ice on the partof the rancher of the prompt isolat ion of s ick animals.In very fer , ' i ' instances is th is done at the i r resent t ime.At t imes when the aforement ioned diseases are pre\ , -a lent, i t is a common sight to see chickens suffer ingfrom severe cases of chicken pox, ranging at rvi l lamong the rest of the f lock or to see a case of hogcholera in c lose quarters wi th the wel l hogs.

At the very moment an animal is not iced to be ai l -ing foi any cause whatsoever pen i t up on an isci latedpart of the ranch. Detai l a member of the fami ly tocare for the animal, such person keeping away asmuch as possible from the rest of the stock of the

ranch. As soon as i r is determined that the animalso isolated is suffering from a cont-agious disease thebest measure is to k i l l the animal and destroy thecarcass by burning.

When stock is secured from ontside, such stockshould be kept away from the rest of the animals ofthe ranch unti l i t is definitely known that they arefree from disease. Care should be taken not to " in-t roduce stock on to the ranch from distr icts I 'heredisease is knorvn to be present," Two years ago afarmer l iv ing in the Cotot c i is t r ic t brought to hisranch two fighting cocks from 'falofofo although heknew that chicken cholera was present i r r that d is-t r ic t . Resul t - the loss of h is whole f lcck of 200chickens. A ferv years ago when hog choiera rvaspresent only in a certain part ( ) f the distr ict of Inara.-jan a rancher took sorne pigs f rom this distr ict wherethe disease was present, to his Yigo ranch. Withina short t ime the plague had spread thronghout thenorthern part of the is land.

Cooperative efiort in regard to these matters wil lbe of benefit to every rancher of the island.

One of the more recent introduct ions of benef ic ia linsecls into Gtt : rn through the Iocal Agr icui turalExper iment Stat ion is. that of 1,he Vedal i r , a pret tvl i t t le blood-red beet lc wi th black spots, imported forthe purpose of conlbatt ing fhe Cottony CushionScale which is c lo ing much damage to orangc ancllemon trees of the is land.

Upon their auival these beet leswere taken in charge by Mr. S. R. Yandenberg, Str-t ion Entomologis i , for propagat ion.

These eighi beetles were placed on :r, voung orarrgctree heavily infesteci with Cottony Cushior-' Scaleancl over which a rnusi in cage had becn placecl . I r rless than one month there was searcely a l ive scalcon the i ree and the number of beet les had incrcrrsor lf rom eight to 240. These 240 bcet les were takenout of the ca,ge in lot .s of 10, over a per ioC of r . lavsand were cl ist i ibuted over the is land wherevet ' i t wrsknown that the seale occurred.

SOME NEW PLANT INTRODUCTIONSWith the object of irnproving the agricultural con-

di t ions of the is land and adding to i ts beauty, theExper iment Stat ion is cont inual ly introducing fortr ia l , seed mater ia l of new economic plants and or-namental shrubs

In the introduction of this material strict precau-tions are taken to guard against the introduction ofserious plant pests and diseases, Consignments areproperly inspected and fumigated prior to shipmentand upon receipt. Futhermore, the material is gen-erally f irst grown for a period under observation atthe Stat ion. The surplus of species that appear to beadapted to local conditions is distributed to interestedfarmers of the Island and the remainder grown bythe Station for the furnishing of seed for further dis-t r ibut ions.

Recent introduct ions f rom Hawai i include, thestarapple, Queensland macadamia nut, l i tchi , var iousvarieties of grapes, pomegranate, Guatemala avoca-.dos, sweet potatoes and various ornamentals includ-ing difierent varieties of hibiscus, Casuarinas, Arau-carias and Philodendrons.

through a break in t l re reef. Scbured by the whir l -pool and the cross crlrrents, the corals fail to grov'and thus leave deep holes or basins in, as wel l aschanneld through the reefs. Tl iese are, then, theentrances or t iny harbors which, according to natural1aw, exist wherever madrepore reefs are fotnd. Atf i rst s ight these openings, are hard to f ind for theyare al lvays smal l and show only as low places in thehigh l ine of the surf ; whi le even a 1i t t le sea lv i l l c losethe passes with such heavy cross breakers that , infact , the surf is h igher there than elsewhere.

Such passages and deep holes are found bets,'eenall those headlands of Guam which are contrectedrvith reefs or barriers of coral, some of the channelsbeing so large that they would permit the entranceand anchorage of ships of 300 tons or over, i f i t werenot for the current and if the basins were not sosma11 and:so fui l of shoals. Nevertheless, by takingadvantage of favorable c i rcumstances, ships up to200 tons may enter some of these places ard evenanchor, provided they have a pi lot to direct them.

Consequerr t ly, certain of these openings may rbeclassified as tiny harbors; such as those of Agana,' fepungan, Jat i and Pago rvhich have been spoken cfalready: the others being no rnore thau larrding placesfor smal l craf t . In the lat ter c lass may by couute dthe channels of Tnrrague and Inapsan; t r . r 'o at Ri t i -d ian in the northern end of the Is land; those ofAchai , Fasonan, Hi laan; two in Tumorr Bay, andthat of Alnpan in Agana Bay, bnt northwest of theci ty; other openings of the same type are found atAsan, t retrveen Agana and the Port of Apra, at Tipa-lao, at Agat and Fini le, south of Orole. Point , atManeno, somervhat east of Merjzo and at Jalomna,Ani te and Yi ig on the east coast south of Pago.Indeed, n ' i th the except ion of approximately a s ixthpart of the per imeter of the is land - that port ionr,vhich l ies between Pago and the most norther ly cape- the coast l ine contains many l i t t le landing placesand not a few bays which offer small vessels shelterf rom storms, yet a lmost al l of them are unknou'n tonavigators, and the serr t ices of p i lots are necessar) ' tof ind the greater part of them.

Although i t rnust be admit ted that the Port of SanLuis de Apra is the on11' harbor which possesses al1the elements const i tut ing a port of cal l for lar .qeships - the is land is so smal l that i t a lone would besuff ic ient - st i i l i t is a great ar l r 'antage to have somany other u 'e l l -protected anchorages for big ships,not to speak of a l l the other l i t t le harbors, which arecapable of support ing an act ive coast \4 ' ise t rac ' le, i fonly i t existed.

chain of hil ls, good for nothing save shelter in astorm but that instead it is clothed in a rich mantleof vegetation ihat exhaies a perfumed atmosphere,carried on the fresh breezes to greet passing shipswith promise of something more than a mere refuge,

Indeed, the soi l of th is l i t t le is land is so fer t i le,that , wi th the proper development, i t could easi lysnpport a r ich and prosperous colony, i f not a largeone.

The northern and southern halves of the islanddiffer greatly in character, but neither one nor theother is lacking in natural advantages; i t seems as i fnature had offered to settlers lands to suit a1l tastes.

The northeru hal f consists of an almost hor izontalplateau at an average height of 200 feet above thelevel of the sea, from r'vhich it r ises in lo{ty cliffs ofcalcareous rock so steeply cut that some, particularlyon the headlands, almost overhang the water, whi lein the l i t t le bays at their feet smal l beaches of sandhave formed over the madrepore ledges on which theis land is bui l f . The leve1 of the plateau r ises grad-ually from south to north, its surface broken by threenotable landmarks;

' f i rst , the sharp peak df mount

Santa Rosa, on the longi tudinal axis of the peninsulaat about a th i rd of the distance from the north end.This is the highest point of the is land, measur ingabout a thousand feet above sea level, and from itone can see to great distances in almost all directions,(Translator's Note: Santa Rosa, e/evation: 810 feet, /iesclose to east sbore near Yigo. Several lt/t€r. peafrJ ort t/te south-ern end af the island are l:igrter. )

At about another th i rd of the distance going south,r ises a second hi l l , known as Barr igadan Ti l lan, inmrrked contrast to the first; far from being pointedit swells abcve the surface of the plateau in a flat-tened hump . ( Note: ,4t present Tittan it not a name aifthe Aill but of an adjacent district. "Baniga" in Spanisb,and "Ti/lan", or "Tiyan" in Charnarro, hot/t ntean "brily,,tn Englislt. -)

On thr: r ,vestern s ide near Agana, steep break inthe ground level occurs, so that, a l though both lowievel and high level are flat and traversable in alldirections by rvagons, it is diff icult, even for animals,to c l imb from one to the other; to do i t comfortablyone must make a c i rcui t by way of Agana. Thisbreak is not so large but that, r,vhen seen from adistance, i t remains covered by the vegetat ion. Thesurface of the whole northern peninsula is thus ccm-posed of t rvo plains, of rv i r ich the smal l western oneends at the foot of a c l i f i - rval l , rvhich is t i re edge ofthe main plateau. This is almost level , as we saic lbefore, save for a s l ight upward slant to the east.

JrJt.y 1926 THE GUAM RECORDER r19

GUAM A POPULAR PORT SEVENTY YEARS AGOThe fol lowing Histor ical Sketch of the Govern-

ment, Products, Resources, Foreigners, Rel ig ion, etc.are reprinted from "'fhe tr 'r iend", a shipping magazinepubl ished in the '50s, by the shipping peopie and themerchants of Honoluln, and preserved in tbe Dart-rnouth Inst i tute Whal ing Mnseum, at Nerv Bedford,Mass. lVe are indebted to Lt . -Comdr. P.J. Sear les,(CEC) U. S Nav.v, and I , I r . $. /atson, Curator of rhel lLrsenm for th is interest ing art ic le.

I t rv i i l be noted that there are certain errorsin spel l ing. punctuat ion, etc. , but as these occurin the or ig inal ar t ic ie, they har.e been copiedexrc1l l . - I :DtToR.' lhe Ladrone or \ {ar ian Is lancis are twelrre in num-

ber, s i luated between 13t and 19o N. Lat i tude and145' and l46o B Longi tude. ' lhey were c l iscoverecib5; Magel lan in the 1 'ear 1520, and were named byhim I , : rc l rone ( the Spanish word for th ief) Is lands,from the circurnstance of the nat ives having stolenthe ruclder of one of h is boats.

In 16,t0 or thereabouts, the group was taken pos-session of by Spain, r ,vhence Cathol ic Pr iests weresent out as Missionar ies, accompanied by other in-div iduals empowered to establ ish a local government.

i \bout the year L672,the Spanish Ministry decidedthat the sum appropr iateci for the support of the Gov-ernmen[ and Mission at those Is lands was a uselessexpendi ture and witheld i t accordingly, resolv ing torecal1 the of f ic ia ls and pr iests and suffer the nat i lesto relapse into their former condi t ion of heathenism.

Their resolution would have been carried into efiectbut for the magnanimous interposi t ion of Nlar iana ofAustr ia, then Queen of Spain, who of fered to be-queath the whole of her jervels to create a funcl forthe further maintenance of the Gorrernmentanc' l Mis-s ion.

Her offer was accepted, the fund created, and outof it a sufficient sum J,'early appropriated to the objectto which i t was designed. for upwards of one hundredand fifty years, when the Spanish Government re-sumed the expendi ture.

Since the performance of th is generous act by theSpanish Queen the group has been known through-out Spains dominions by no other namb than theMarianas.

The only Is lauds in the group, inhabi ted perma-nent ly are Guam and Rota. The other ten are v is i t -ed per iodical ly by residents of Guam who procurefrom them coconut oi l , beef, pork, arrow-root, yams,etc. , in abundance"

Saypan is temporar i l l ' set t led bl ' about 300 nat ivesof the Carol ine fs lands, rvho, b1' permission of theGovernor of the Marianas, n'ere allowecl to locatethere eight or ten years s ince, under the jur isdict ionof an Alcade sent f rom Guam. This Is land is beaut i -fu l ly fer t i le.

Rota is a smal l but very product ive Is land and con-tains about 400 inhabi tants.

l\rearly all the Islands in the group are noted fortheir exceet l ing fer t i l i ty ; but Guam, or Gtrahan (asthe inhabi tants cal l i t ) having the adr-antages of po-

si t ion, harbor, populat ion, etc. , is the most f requent-ed.

I t is the southernmost of the group, being i t lat .13o North contains 8,500 i r rhabi tants; is in lengthfrom N. E. to S. W. about 35 mi les; and has a c i r -cumference of about eighty.

I t is r ichly fer t i le and presents a most at t ract ive'appearance_ on being approached, on account of theluxur iant fo l iage which c lothes i t to the rrater 's eclge.Bacl i f ro in the seashore the land r ises gradual ly tothe height of some trvo or three thousand feet, and isbeaut i fu i iy d iversi f ied thronghoui n ' i th hi l ls and vai-leys. It has forests dense enough to affor-d such pro-tect icn to the numberless herds of deer r ,vhich f re-quent them, that though for several years there har.ebeen no restr ict io i . is upor] the i ree pursui t of thenr asgame, their number seems to remain undiminished,notwit .hstanding that ntal lv a table is n-eekly, andperhaps of tener, graced with a haunch of venison.For s ixty years af ter they were f i rst introdnced frcnrChina upon the Is iands, they were protected frcmmolestat ion by 1aw, dur ing which t i rne tbe5' jncreasedto such an extent that the prohibi t ion was consideredno longer f lecessary.

Other game as snipe, r ,v i lc1 pigeons erc. , is abun-dant. There are a- few horses and mules upon theIsland, but of too infer ior descr ipt ion to be of muchservice. Catt le of rvhich there a plenty. ' of a gcodqual i ty, are used as beasts of burden and as r id insa nima ls.

The Agr icul tural products are var ious. {ndiancorn, r ,vhich is the staple art ic ie of foocl , is ra ised inabundance. Rice also, is ra ised to a considerable ex-tent, Sugar-cane t i r r ives wel1. Yanrs and sweet pota-toei , famous for their super ior qual i ty, are abundant.

. No pains have been taken tc introduce an_\- greatvar iety of f ru i ts, but such as there are - oranges,chirnovas, mangoes, 1imes, gt lavasr etc. , are in theirrespective seasons l 'erJ' f ine. Of the first namedthere are two crops a year.

The nat ive i r lhabi tants are peacefr l l , f rugal , andhospi table, but rather prone to indolence. Good landis so abunCant and free that each man is al lowed topossess as t ruch as he choses to cul t ivate, and theirhabi ts being sirnple and their r ,yants fen' , a very l i t t ielabor plsduces enough for their necessi t ies and be-yond that they have no anxiety. The1. are a t r i f lel ighter in color than the l far ,vai ians, and but for thetraces of their Malay or ig in lvhic i r their countenancesst i l l more or less retain, would be considered muchbetter looking. Their c lwel l inss are of wood rn ' i ththached roofs and are elevated on posts to the heighthof three or four feet f rom the ground, and being ofuni forn s ize and bir i l t in regr-r lar rows and al l tho-roughl,r ' rvhitervashed give the tor,r 'ns and vil lages avery neat appearance.

The Government of f ic ia ls and pr iests, r ,vho are al lf rom Spain, and the better c lasses of the residentsgeneral ly l ive in houses of coral wi th t i le roofs.These dwel l ings are remarkably s 's11 constructed,spacious, comfortable and adapted to the c l imate,rvhich is verr ' -q imi lar to that of the l {awaj ian grc11p.
