The captain at once ordered out a squad of 20 mounted men. and as the captain gave me per mission to go we mounted and rode at a apid pace for about four miles, passing scattered Philippine villages, ancient pueblos, still inhabited by non-com batant's, and these old ruinea anu bandoued cathedrals which gives lo the region Its peculiar atmosphere oi mystery. At last we came upon an olu aban doned sugar mill, and near by lound three hombres, cutting bimboo. Their actions did not suit the captain so be ordered that tbey be taken prisoners. After questioning them without gaining any knowledge as to the body of insru- rectos who were at that pom during me morning, the captain ordered three men to take one man and go a few paces out sight into the bamboo, and fire one shot to make the remaining two believe their comrade had been shot. One ef the men returned and took the second man, and the cantain asked him where their arms were, but be pleadod ignorant and was taken away into the thicket, when the .i.arn renort of the Krag was heard again. One of the .oldiers cume out to take the third man, when he expressed his willingness to show us where their .. . . ... .L. L...M t arms were, lie toox us io um uuiicr u. this old sugar mill and inside we found three rifies and two bolos. Then the two natives that were supposed to have been killed were brought out iu the presence of the third and the expression on their faces when brought togeuier was really amusing. Placing a guard over the prisoners we left the main traveled load and went north towards the Calamba rivel aeross larger tracts of cane fields, reaching Hie top of a small hill we c u!d see perhaps 20 men or more just crossing the liver. We opened fire on them but with no effect, they soon disappeared lulo the tropical jungle on the other aide) ol the river. We advanced to the river but decided not to follow any further as the tropical growth was so great we could not travel on horse back. Turning up the river we came upon a bamboo house with the white flag flying from one of the windows. It is Invariably true at this stage of the insurrection that wher ever the white Hag is there are insur gents close at hand, rjearcning me hnnan we found several tons of rice and a poor dog. Setting fire to the house we rode a few paces back to see it burn Bamboo when burning pops and crack like the report of a rifl.t, and one who heard it for the first time would swear it was rille shots. A very atrange thing occurred while this house was burning the do relused to leave the place ltl.miijh both doors were open, but tf , inert and burnt to death, bark in until he died. Returning to where our prisoners wore we started toward Calamba, marchin them between two detachmonls. ires ently we came to a large field.on each side 1 of the road. The three hombrei teapeu and ran like antelope across the 8eld from us. All fired at about the sains time and one fell, the other two going as fast as their legs would carry them. My horse became frightened at the shots and when I bad checked him and looked around there was only one uative In eight, and he was about lo roach a large bamboo thicket and escape without pay ing the death penalty for carrying arms against the Americans, but the captain dismounted and taking rest over his horse brought him down. Examining them we found each shot caused almost stant death. nd as the sun's last rays did fade, Into soft dim twilight blending, Wo lelt those Insurrectos there, To sleep a sleep that knows no ending.

I would (urther recommend to ma committee on literature and exhibits, that as soon aa the mining exhibit has been placed, that suitable literature be prepared (or showing np the tarled re sources and advantages of our county. Let an article be prepared on our mines by soma well known mining" man, and on agricultural resources, by some one qualified to write such an article. Let the lumbering interests be written np by a lumbering man, and the history ol the county, with its development to ins present time, and its future possibilities, be given in charge of some one well posted on that subject. In my judge ment, each of these articles should nrsi appear In our local papers over iu signature of the writer, and later be put in pamphlet form for free distribution. By the foregoing suggestions I nave by no means exhausted tho possibilities of work to be done by the several com nilttees, but U tho work, aa outlined, bo performed, I shall have more than exhausted your funds. I havo to say in conclusion, I look forward to the coming year as one of business sctivity for Southern Oregon, snd I believe Grants Pass will ba more prosperous than in any year of It pre vious history, and I beliove this club can be an important factor in the devel opment of Josephine county.
