There,are two classes of natives here, the lowlanders (known as Phillippineo) who from around Manila or coast and the Igorrote (Indian). Some of them only wear a gee string around their waist. The main food is rice and fish. Their big dish is roast dog. They used to have a dog market in Baguio where they bought their dogs. They feed . them on rice and nothing else for . about two weeks before they kill them. They work anywhere barefooted and have in fact only the gee string. They polk everything on their heads and the men, women and children all, smoke cigars. Cigarettes, such as Camels, Chesterfields, etc., cost seven cents American, a package and native cigarettes cost about 20 cents for 30 cigarettes. The exchange here is two (pesos, dollars) Philippinos for one dollar American. It is standardized by the American government. Hither currency is good. Nearly all of the people speak American, English, some a little Spanish, and some an Indian dialect which I don’t know the name of. , All meat excepting chickens come from Australia or United States as they don’t eat the native meat. Chicken is the cheapest meat of all at about 20 cents a pound dressed; leg of lamb about $5 cents; American rib roast, 30 cents; sirloin steak 40 ments; sheep kidney, 45 cents; American lettuce and celery about 25 cents a lread.

Mr. Grimes was out $12 for these round trips, besides. He took two men to the property June 27th and they are doing assessment work for the coming year.

it rains here sometimes about 36 inches in 24 hours. The season's rainfall is about 250 inches. I don’t imagine it gets over 80 or 85 degrees in temperature, but its the humidity due to moisture that makes is so oppressive. Manila gets about 95 degrees and it gets as hot and suffocating as hell.

There,are two classes of natives here, the lowlanders (known as Phillippineo) who from around Manila or coast and the Igorrote (Indian). Some of them only wear a gee string around their waist. The main food is rice and fish. Their big dish is roast dog. They used to have a dog market in Baguio where they bought their dogs. They feed . them on rice and nothing else for . about two weeks before they kill them. They work anywhere barefooted and have in fact only the gee string. They polk everything on their heads and the men, women and children all, smoke cigars. Cigarettes, such as Camels, Chesterfields, etc., cost seven cents American, a package and native cigarettes cost about 20 cents for 30 cigarettes. The exchange here is two (pesos, dollars) Philippinos for one dollar American. It is standardized by the American government. Hither currency is good. Nearly all of the people speak American, English, some a little Spanish, and some an Indian dialect which I don’t know the name of. , All meat excepting chickens come from Australia or United States as they don’t eat the native meat. Chicken is the cheapest meat of all at about 20 cents a pound dressed; leg of lamb about $5 cents; American rib roast, 30 cents; sirloin steak 40 ments; sheep kidney, 45 cents; American lettuce and celery about 25 cents a lread.

This is the fourth year tthieves have taken from this property, one year the cabin was stripped clean, the marauders losing a stew pan lid on the hill side nearby in their flight. Mr. Grimes was out $12 for these round trips, besides. He took two men to the property June 27th and they are doing assessment work for the coming year. Fred Joubert of Camptonville, who operates the Depot Hill and Indian Hill gravel properties stated he lost $100 worth of. tools from his property last year. ; Mr. and Mrs. George Gildersleeve of Nevada City who own mining rei economie -wilderr . sion . with . down ; most . ments, -just . . } and the counties’ gain—by this shift . is estimated at the . and that the pubs . retorts, . . makers, in . organized .

Perhaps the most significant trend the was the general disposition to “take it away from the man who has it’’—a midified ‘‘share the wealth’’ program carried out under the guise of taxation. No one can deny the fundamental soundness of using capacity to pay as one of the yardsticks in measuring tax responsibility, but the present danger seems to be that the policy will be carried to such extremes that the thrifty and industrious will be penalized to provide for the careless and indolent.
