Briefly summarized, the Industrial
condition of the Philippines, as given
by the Philippine commission In Its
recent report to congress Is as follows:
Up to date systems of lighting and
Btreet transportation have been Inau
guated In the city of Manila In which
millions of American money are In
vested and are receiving their Just re
ward In profits.
Contracts are held by enterprising
Americans for harbor works at Manila
involving an expenditure of over $4,
000,000, and harbor works are nnder
way nt Hollo and Cebu, both In the
hands of Americans. A modern tele
phone system hns been Installed In
Manila with American capital, and

we begun to figure on it with a view
of reaching some plan to economize.
Why. the coal bill for the Old Hol
ders' hoine at Monte Vista was $13,
000 annually. I do nnt recall what the
expt.nse for fuel ill other Institutions
was, hut It was a plenty,
"We have agreed that the best so
lution of the problem Is to recommend
the operation of coal mines by the
stntc with convict labor, to the extent
ony of furnishing coal for all of the
state Institutions. W'e believe that this
cm be done with n great saving to
the state a saving of about $300,000
alone on coal bills.
"The state owns school lands that
contain rich deposits of coal, and
these lands are, some of them, near
some of the largest Institutions. For
li:tance, there are coul deposits on
land belonging to Colorado near Cnnon
City, where coal could be mined easily
by the convicts In the state penitenti
ary at a cost far below what the big
fuel companies charge the state for
the mine product."

HOPES TO SAVE EXPERIMENT FARM
The Union Republican says of a
meeting 'o.i the executive committee
of the hoard of regents of the Eastern
Oregon State Experimental farm, at
Union :
The executive committee of I lie
board of regents of the Union experi
ment farm which met here this week,
announ"o positively that they are In
favor of the maintenance of the ex-perinie-il
station at Union on a larger
scale, and will advocate an appropri
ation of not less than $15,000 nt the
next seyslon of the legislature. This
Is Indeed good news for Union, and
if the executive committee Is able to
convince the balance of the board of
regents, there will be clear sailing for
the big farm.
Those present at the Union meeting
Monday were J. K. Weathcrford. of
Albany: J. T. Apperson, of Oregon
City; W. M. Pierce of Hot Lake, and
Austin Huxton, of Forest Grove.
The meeting was held at the brick
building at the experiment stntlon and
In addition to the members of the
executive committee, Superintendent
Robert Wlthycombe wos present.
The members of the executive com
mittee were unanimous In the com
mendation of the work done -by the
Union station, they favor a continu
ance of the work and the employ-

ment of a greater force on the farm.
It was found that the farm had al
most paid the running expenses during
the past year, and If the seeds and
stock on hand are taken into consid
eration the farm has more than paid
Its way.
The station hns proven Itself prac
tically self-supporting under the most
adverse conditions.
The seed and grass display r.t the
farm was pronounced the finest In t'
st-ite and brought forth many words
of commendation from the visiting re-
gento. I
Th" executive committee thought
that an appropriation of $15,000
would be needed, out of which prob
ably $7500 would be returned to the

money not used. i
