Palanog, eight months ago, tho inhabi
tants (led, after burning most of tlio
houses.
There is to dato not a public school in
tho three islands. A nuw otio is being
built at l'ulaog however, and American
teachers will soon bo in charge. Dele
gations ramo to the commission session
from nil parts of Masbato, a few from
Ticao and none from the large but rather
barren island of ilurias, to the north
ward. The moii appeared to be fairly
Intelligent, considering their comparn
tivo Isolation but woro ruthor hopolesa
about any prospect of immediate Im
provement in their business conditions.
Tho only insurgents remaining in these
Islands aro a few detached bands' of
wandering ladroucs and a federal party
branch recently organized,
BouiQcio Serrano, candidate for Gov
ernor, uddresed the commission saying
that although there was plenty of land
in Masbato it was not sulllcleii'ly
cultivated to be ibl to meet the
necessities of the proposed provincial
government. Ho declared that if the
people were taxed on tho lands now, or
shortly they would fail to raise money
Said he:
"Tho owners of tho laud only rae
sweet potatoes enough to eat and there
aro tome fow rico paddles."
Judge Taft asked : "Do not tho pri
vate lands havo valuo? What is good
cattle laud worth?" 8errano answerod :
"Good situated and well conditioned
land is worth about thrco pesos per
hectare A fourth or fifth of tho land
of thisjisland is privato holdings, mostly
pasturoland, There la llttlo privato
wood land and very llttlo cocoanut rals
lug, most of it being on the Island of
Ticao."

All the testimony on the subject of
men's wages placed them nl 25 to 50
cents Mexlcnn per day and food. Police
men received $5 to $5 Moxicon per
month. Responding to questions,
Serrano said that his people did iiot-ox-pect
to attain their former condition of
prosperity for 10 yeare. .Ho ac
knowledged that tho thnb was a con
siderable asset and could bo oxportod at
good prlcos; nlso that cocoanut trees
and tobaeco grew fairly woll but ho said
those had been planted but llttlo. Tlio
alleged mineral wealth of Masbato had
never y t. boon exploited, although a
few Englishmen were mining for cold in
tho northern part.
Tho Presidents of all the towns rep
resented addressed tho commission aa
called upon, all agrcoing that tho lowest
salaries possible should bo paid tho pro
vincial olllcors for tho present and that
the oapital ehould bo flxod at Palauog.
All dlsphyed a singular Iguoranco about
nurlus. Tho commissioners questioned
whothcr liurias ought not to be annexed
to a Hou'liorn Luzon Province, but Mas
bate and Ticao were unanimous for itu
eluding Iiuriau with tlio Province of Mas
bato, contending that tho trade of Our
his, though small, wits rather with the
Islands south of her than with the ports
of Luzon and that it was in the interest
of tlio Uurlanu to bo joined with othor
smaller islands. It was consequently sf
ordered.
After a long private conference of tho
commissioners President Taft announced
that thero had beoa considerable diffi
culty in adjusting some of the provis
ions of tho gonoral provincial bill to this
provlnco on account of tho conditions of
Its diminishing revenue. A return of
prosperity, howovor, would later justify
a now arrangomont. Tho oxponsu of
salaries of all the provinces here-to-fore
organized woro upwarda of $5000 hut In
Masbato tliey would bo made half that
amount.
The capital of tlio provlnco was lace ted
at Palanog which town was decreed to
be horeafter known as Masbato. Ser
ratio was appointed Governor ami Goorg
Landers of New York, a soldier, sopor
vltor at salaries of $720, each. Lleutotf
ant Charles Snydor of tho Twenl-Se-cnth
Infantry was appointed treasure r.
Tho salary of treasurer was flxitl 1 1
$200, the appolntoo for tho time b.-ii g
receiving his pay from tho United States
Government as an army officer.
In the Interest of economy tho G iv
ernor was required to preform tho
secretary's dut ios and fiscal of Homblon
Province was required to alsoprofoim
simlar duties for Masbato for $200 extra
compensation nnd expenses. A cmn
mltlco was appointed to reoo gnnize the
municipalities and order elections, olo ,
in those unorganized.

"temperance" to tho Retail Liquor
Dealers Deneflclal Association Rev.
Mr. Ktorger spoke In part as follews:
"I havn brought witli mo only a

An average, healthy hair will support a quarter
of a pound. There are 120.000 of these on the
head. They all together would support 30,000
pounds, wouldn't they? This is equivalent
to an audience of 200 people, weighing 150
pounds each I
It's mathematically true that an average head
of hair will support an entire audience of 200
people. It doesn't seem possible, but it's so.
It doesn't seem possible, cither, that Ayer's
Hair Vigor restores color to gray hair ; but it
docs restore it, and every time, too, all the
dark, rich color the hair had years ago. It
stops falling of the hair also, and ieeps the
scalp healthy and free from dandruff.
"I have used Ayer's Hair Vigor for thirty ysara and X do not think there li any.
thing equal to It for a fine hair dressing. I am never without It."
