Newspaper Page TextTHE MONMOUTn HERALD, MONMOUTH. OREGON FRIDAY, MARCH Si. 1921 tare 2 A Visit to Porto Rico Some years since the S. S. Carolina was plowing her way southward five days out of New York when thore loomed into sight what appear ed to be a cloud on the horizon. This "elood" grew darker as we drew nearer until finally we began to dis tinguish the sand colored battlements of San Juan harbor on the northern coast of Porto "Rico. Approaching the harbor we had a most excellent view of the ancient, picturesque Morro Castle, with its massive walls, eighteen feet thick, supplemented by San Christobal, with which it is connected by an under ground passage one mile in length. Mono castle, with its old time dun geons, its turrets, its sentry boxes, its antiquated defenses of all kinds having on the land side its moat, now all grass grown. This fort withstood all attacks of the English, French and Dutch from 1540 on down to 1898 EXTENSION SERVICE. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE YOUNG BROTHERS, Monmouth, Oregon. Gentlemen: We have tested the sample of milk, which you brought to this laboratory for bacterial count. The sample is exceedingly good, the count being 650 per cubic centimeter. If this is a fair sample of the milk you are producing on your dairy farm you are to be congratulated upon its quality, for it could npt be better. I am Very truly yours, G. V. COPSON Bacteriologist Oregon Experiment Station The public is invited to inspect our method of testing. Milk test ed each month. WE CHALLENGE COMPARISON. YOUNG BROTHERS DAIRY EE I 3E ft Every TWO Minutes SOMEBODY'S House Burns Yours may be the next and it takes only TWO MINUTES to protect your self by 'phoning to Chambers & Powell Agents 3 when taken by the Americans after the island had been occupied four hun dred years by the Spanish. Now it is useless and practically vacated, serving only to remind tourists of the prowness and glory of the pioneers of the island. Entering San Juan Bay we continue to pass massive walls the continuation of forts which form the protective walls of San Juan City. We pass the Governor's residence, Casa Rlunca (white house). Over its wonderful ly green trees, ralms, bread fruit, mangoes and other tropical fruits. As we near the wharf we are met by numerous row boats, sailboats and launches. Swarmirg over these are little black peons, each intent upon at tracting the attention of those aboard ship. Some one throws aliamlful of pennies into the bay. With a rush every boy is overboard, diving for his share of the spoils. Again and again they dive until no more pennies are forthcoming from the passengers. A little later we leave the vessel and enter the compact city of San Juan, with her narrow, crooked streets, her tunnel-like gates and her medieval architecture as interesting as an old-world tourist point. Around her plazas centers the public life of the old city which still retains its for mal official character and its old Spanish etiquette, very different from the free and easy life of the native Porto Ricans of the interior and in deed of the other costal towns. The age worn cathedrals, the houses, the very streets themselves cause the feel ing of being in old Spain. Entering an interurban street car we are soon passing out of the city, along the main Carra-terra, the old military road, which connects San Juan with Ponce seventy miles dis tant on the southern coast of the is land. Then we change cars and soon are passing thru Rorinqucn rarquo, a miniature Coney Island, having its bathing beach and usual places of amtuu'tuont, including a theater, nlso a dancing pavilion, lor the l'orto Ricans be they men or women, vounir or old, are fond of music, dancing, theatrical shows and all out door pngeants. 1 Passing on thru groves of coaconnut palm, past beautiful homes of the wealthy, cultured, Spaniards, then past groups of peon homes built of such material ns they can pick up- very often discarded five gullon ker osene cans, or any can made of tin, (labels and nil) then, again past houses of those fortunate enough to get boards no matter how little alike for finishing. These may be painted, one end of the house blue, the other yellow, the front green, and the back red, any color they can get. It seem ed that the greater the variety and contrast, the more artistic to them. In due time we reach Rio Tridras. our new home. To the east of the Catroterra, situated upon gently rolling beautiful grounds stands the State University of Porto Rico, with its college of liberal arts, its Reboot of law and its normal with its large training school. , The process of educating and Amer icanizing these people is rather slow. So much so, indeed, as to surprise those who are carrying out the pro gram of education and reform in the Island. ' But when we remember that reform and civilization require cen turies, it is much easier to understand conditions in Porto Rico, where nine tenths of the people are peons who have been subjected to the one-tenth, who were aristocratic overlords for hundreds of years under the Spanish regime. The peons live largely upon a large hard banana or plantain which they slice and fry in grease. They sell for about a penny each and a school child docs well if he can have a whole one for his breakfast or for any other meal. One form of the bread fruit Is peeled ' and the inside sliced and fried in the same way. But those who live in towns live lurgely on bread with waiter to drink. Milk, butter, and ggs ure very scarce and very high. Those who have coffee brown it until it is black and bitter before grinding and making into a drink Thvy like rice and chicken. The acid fruits such as oranges and pineapples are but little used but they are passionately fond of the mangoes, alligator pears and of cocoa-de-agua. (water of the cocoanut). Our produce such as charcoal, veg etables, fruits and chickens were brought to our door in panniers on the backs of the native ponies. 'The fruits, vegetables, and chickens very often riding in the same pannier. The pony and his driver on the way to market was a most interesting sight The musical pit-a-pat of the pony's feet could be heard all night long, his driver singing Spanish lqve song The night is the pleasanter time for travel in the tropical climates and so there is always a string of ponies and drivers, ox-carts and drivers, automo biles, and people afoot passing at all hours of the night. It may be of in forest to note that on moonlight nights those walking carried umbrel las to keep the witches away. They are a very superstitious people. They arc Catholics and not appre ciativc of American democracy. The missionaries of the various Protest ant churches are God-fearing men and women, but their commendable work is so largely counteracted by the dis honest and unworthy practices of our government officials. At least the na tives consider them dishonest and this necesarilv handicaps the missionaries in their earnest and unselfish efforts to better the conditions of the people, But despite it all they are going for ward and little by little the peon class being helped. Education, being ompulsory for all la making It possi ble to help the children at least. Frum O.N.S. Breeze, B. F. Swopc C. A.
