EOADS IN PORTO RICO
GENERAL STONE'S INVESTIGATION OF THE ISLAND'S HIGHWAYS.
Their Condition Generally Veryl'oo*. He Hell oven Electric Bonda Will Take the Place of Wsffon Roads.
Immeniie Opening's For Capital.
General Roy Stone, United States volunteers, formerly director of the office of good roads inquiry of the de•partment of agrioultnre, recently returned from Porto Rico, where, in addition to lighting with his regiment, he investigated thoroughly the condition of roads on the island. General Stone found the means of communication between the interior and the ooast and between the towns generally to be very poor. A railroad runs partly around the island, but is badly planned, poorly supported and miserably managed. The roads in the interior are constantly muddy, 60 much so that passage is always almost impossible, the osen sinking to their knees and the wagons to their axles. This renders the transportation of the products of the island from the interior to the seaports a very difficult and expensive undertaking and hampers to a great extent the commerce of the island. Coffee is brought from the plantations in the interior ou the heads of the men and women or on pack animals, at a cost of $2 per hundredweight. This cost hinders the successful cultivation of the large coffee plantations. It is equally detrimental to the interests of the sugar planters, many of whom have plantations in the valleys of the interior. Tobacco is more easily handled, so that its production is not so much affected. General SStone said: "I am convinced that Porto Rico will never have a complete system of wagon roads such aw some of the states have.
Roads aro enormously expensive in that island, thocelebrated military road costing in the neighborhood of $100,000 per mile. Theenormous rainfall distributed throughout all seasons is ruinous to any road unless thoroughly well drained and constructed on a hard foundation. I believe, however, tkat tbo placo of the wagon roads will be more than filled by electric roads, of which I am certain there will soon be a network over the island. Ste?.m railways wonld be too expensive to construct or to operate, there being no coal on the island, while there is an abundance of water power. The rivers rise in the mountains in the interior and have an average fall of 2,500 feet in their short race to the sea, and there is always abundance of water pouring over high falls. Power for electric roads could be obtained from these falls at little expense, the ronds conld be easily graded and the rain wouid not affeot an electric road as it does a wagon road. Those roads wonld open communication between the interior and the coast and place the coffee, sugar and tobacco of the plantations within easy access of the seaboard. "I regard the possibilities for the investment of American capital in Porto Rico as something immense. Porto Rico is destined to outstrip Cuba in the next few years. In addition to having a more stable government its climato is better, its people more peaceable and better its soil fully as fcrtilo.

land. The laborer lives on tne rruit or the banana tree, which also furnishes partly his clothing and housing. He needs little furniture and little clothes. "The educated natives are a high class of people, cultivated, polite and compare favorably with the higher classes in the States. The lower classes are capable and willing to learn. They are all very friendly, and almost every one on the island is attempting to learn English. They are especially desirous of having Amerioan schools established or having the English language taught in the schools. With cheap labor and free access to American markets, railroad facilities and plantation* owned and operated by Americans, I fail to see anything but a brilliant futuro for the island. The sugar, coffee and tobacco, the bana: a and cocoanut plantations, electric rt.ilroads and paper making are all good enterprises in which capital can be profitably invested. There is little doubt thi:5 in a few years Porto Rico will bo the winter resort of America. Its climate is equal to that of Florida or Cuba in the winter time its atmosphere more healthful and its scenery far more varied and interesting. In addition to all the tropical luxury of vegetation Porto Rico has high mountains, beautiful valleys, tplendid waterfalls and heautiful views. As the electrio roads open up communication with the interior it will be possible for the tourist to visit all the show places of the island at his ease, and with American hotels or boarding houses scattered over the island he can always get good accommodations. Within a year there' will be a number of fine hotels at San Juan and Ponce, and preparations made for the influx of winter tourists."
Tipped and Dumped.
Helen and her father and mother were dining in a hotel, and Helfen, who was voars old, had never before dined in a public place. The waiter was so attentive and courteous that Helen's mother said that he must be tipped at the end of the meal. The word "tipped" was one Helen had never beardused except in connection with a dump cart on her father's premises. When they got up to leave the dining room, she said: "Oh, papi, papa! You forgot to dump the waiter."—Youth's Companion.

In conclusion General Stone said that owing to the density of the population of Porto Rico and the cheapness of living it wonld be a long timet before wages reached the American scale, but as the I demand for Porto Rican products iu-' creased the demand for labor tbere would advance the price of it, and gradually, as the laborer became accustomed to the comforts of the American laborer, he would need more and receive more. He believes that matters in Cuba will be unsettled for several years at least, during which time he thinks the conservative American capitalists will invest their money in Porto Rico rather than iu Cuba. General Stone will make a report on the result of his inquiry to the secretary of war.—New York Sun.
