says In part:
Ihe province ol Lagayan, situated
in the extreme northern part ot the
island of Luzon, has continued in a
peaceful and tranquil condition since
the establishment there ol civil gov
ernment, which was accomplished with
out the least disturbance or octaslon of
disorder in September, 1901. The
most complete peace has reigned.
"Prosperity has been prevented by
the mortality of Caraboas and other
diseases ot cattlo and horses. This was
followed by unexpected rising of the
rivers, which over Honed land planted
with corn. Then came the smallpox
and the scourge of locusts, and the
cholera, which, while it has not
wrought much havoc, haa greatly un
settled the minds of the pecple.
The dire calamities mentioned, to
gether with tho depression In tobacco,
which is the principal product of the
soil, placed the Inhabitants of the to
bacco-raising puebioe of the province in
most deplorade condition.
"All of the pueblos of the provinc
should bo given American teachers,
and there should be established institu
tions ot higher learning in the ialand,
of agriculture, arts und trades in the
provincial capital, for the education of
the Cagayan youth."
