'How doe the portal service In the is
lands compare with that of the United
States?" was asked of the man who has
organised the post roads and postofflce
throughout the country.
"It Is much the same," said Mr. Cotter
man. "Wo hav free delivery in the cities
an J rural free delivery throughout tha
country districts. Just as you do here.
There are no settled countrysides like
these of America, with a farm now and
then, but the native live In clusters or
bar I os, and native carriers deliver their
mails to them every day, traveling mostly
op foot.
"It is a queer sight to see a little native
toss a mail bag weighing thirty pounds
aver his shoulders and start out on a dog
trot for tha country. And he keeps on
trotting all day long, making thirty miles
before dark. Tha advantage he has over
an American In covering the country is
marked. The country 1 cut up into small
rice fields, which art always flooded. Lit
tle ridges enclose them. If one knows these
ridges he can travel all over tha islands
without ever getting off tha ridge, but If
you aren't accustomed to tha country you
will hav to cut acroea the fields and !

tract which gave thla railroad a charter
that It should carry the mail free of

this. The road was built fifteen year ago

throughout the Islands and to points not
touched by commercial craft."
"How do the native feel toward the
American government?" was queried.
"The belter element la now satisfied that
they are getting the best service they ever
had. It Is a rery small minority that
ever talks now of independence. And that
minority gets less every day. There Is no

"It has been declared," said Mr. Cotter
man. "that th native could not b mad
to work. That siaierr.ent has J-ist been
refuted. The first electric railway ever
built in the islands has Just been installed
and started mnrur.g the first of this month.
It ia th only big interest owned by Amer
icans in th Oriental possessions. Th na
tive built this road. They er mad to
do It through th us of competent fore
men foramen who understand how to han

going over there can't even get his wash

handling them. This company has demon
strated that th Filipino can work and
Chines laborers will now diminish In num
ber ther."
Speaking of the condition and th In
terest that Americans feel la th Island,
Mr. Cotterman mentioned William E. Cur
tis, th newspaper correspondent, who
mad a little trip to th islands. "Mr.
Curtis will find trouble If hs ever comes
back. H dined with the officer and
participated in their hospitality, but
roasted them when he got away. Conse
quently they art tore at him. II criticised
the custom collector for being too rigid,
among other a Us also criticised th mail
service between her and th Island, de
claring that the government should run
frequent and fast mail boats. Hs didn't
seem to understand that those boat cost
muck money and that It la worth tl.OOO
per day to operate them. And besides
that, therw area't a great many letter to
go across. Furthermore, it is a twenty-
six-days' trip. Th Irregularity of boats
causes Americans to go In th air at
first. A boat, for example, may leave Ban
Francisco toda"- -jiT get teto- Manila be
hind a boat that leave a week from
today. Then the man whose letter started
on the first boat kicks because his mail
wasn't put on the last boat."
