ANAHEIMER TELLS OF LIFE IN P. I. Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Fishering of West Anaheim have received the following interesting letter from their son Robert H. Fishering, radioman in the U.S. Navy, stationed at Cavite, one island: I promised to write something about the Philippines when I got back to school at Cavite after our trip to China. When seeking information about different things out here all you have to do is hunt up some old timer. He invariably begins by telling you Cavite is the best town in the Philippines. I would give Cavite away just to get out of it. Cavite has made much of Philippine history, a little point of land just outside of Manila Bay. Manila Bay is considered by many the most beautiful bay in the world. The old timer will tell you the Spanish first attacked Manila and then Cavite. Ruins of old buildings and here and there an old cannon verify his statements. Manila was made the capital and Cavite was made dock yards, where the Spanish were able to keep in communication with the far off Mexico, of which these islands were then governmentally a part, so it shows that Cavite had its connection with America long before Dewey. Also the Dutch had a dubious conflict off Cavite, as did the British East India company make an attack on Manila and Cavite. It was the British base as much as the Spanish and Chinese base. In a little while Spain started fortifying it and afterward declared war on Great Britain. Cavite became the base of the first Spanish fleet ever sent here from European waters. So one and a half centuries ago Cavite was docking and keeping in repair the warships of an ally of the United States, and had a part in the American war of Independence. Just a half century ago the government was overthrown. Fort San Felix was taken by direct assault and the Filipino progression checked. It was interesting to hear the old timer say that the Spaniards accused the Filipinos of trying to set up a republic like the United States. Latin history is still more centered about were getting only fifteen dollars per month, helped to support many families of the natives. All the sailors and marines washing was done by the natives. In Cavite, the year of 1899, there was only one first class restaurant run by a Spanish gentleman, and named Velliamarin, who will be remembered by hundreds of sailors and marines as a good friend to Americans and the place can still be seen today, run by a different person. Even Cavite had an ice plant in those days, but it was seldom in operation. Ice cost them a dollar gold for fifty pounds, but still the marines and the fleet had a good time. In the year 1900 the fleet and the marines went to China and then returned later on for the Samar campaign, and in the year 1901 civil law went into effect. But now Cavite is in her prime of life, peace is all she needs. There is an old land mark out in the naval yard at Cavite where the first American flag was hoisted May 3, 1898. I guess the war times are over now in Cavite. The people are very busy making a living and seem to be happy as if nothing had happened to them. The soil is fine. You can raise most anything. It rains about one-third of the year. The temperature is between 90 and 100 the year around. Cavite is a town of about 1500. While not a pretty town, it is the best the natives say. The Philippines are a group of Southern Pacific islands—death and destruction gathered together on the Western horizon of civilization. They are bounded on the north by devastation, on the east by typhoons, on the south by hurricanes, and on the west by cannibals, sharks and smugglers. The islands are comprised chiefly by mud and mountains and are notorious for hungry mosquitoes, ants, fleas, bats, flies, toads, snakes, lizards, tarantulas, scorpions, centipedes, waterbugs, monkey jelly fish, sharks, walrus, chickens, naked children, etc. The Island of Paradise has a glorious, well sustained reputation for trifling diseases, such as small pox, cholera, black death, malaria, swamp fever, murder and sudden death. The mud is very rich both in mosquitoes and fragrance, in which the children bathe freely and also in which rice is grown. The soil is of hard cold lava covered with a low bush.

It was interesting to hear the old timer say that the Spaniards accused the Filipinos of trying to set up a republic like the United States. Latin history is still more centered about Cavite, the people repeatedly taking the field for redress of grievance until the Province came to be known as "The Mother of Insurrection." And so Cavite today is under the American flag and the Philippines are glad to know it. You can see today old ruins, guns, ships and artillery that Dewey had und captured, scattered around the Naval yard. In the bay can be seen two ships that Dewey took. The enemy used fire to the different cities and burn homes, and leave children motherless and fatherless, to wander in the woods and die. With the Marines at Fort Rice and Dewey's fleet in the bay, the enemy had little to do and of course Dewey won, but not easily as I have said. It's always harder to do it than say it, but left to Dewey it was done, and done well. They say that Manila was a lively town in those days. Every one had to be off the streets at sunset or be arrested by provost guard. In those days, pay day came once in two months, so you can imagine what happened. San Roque today is not like it was then. San Roque then was a wilderness patrolled by mounted Marines, who were on the watch for the enemy so there would be no burning of homes of the natives.

High schools and people generally in Orange county are to have an opportunity to see how a telephone works. E. A. Beard, manager for the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company announced this today when he stated that a free motion picture entertainment, called "The Big Idea," gotten up by Los Angeles employees of the telephone company, would be given at the Anaheim high school at 10:30 a.m. Friday, May 12; at 2:30 p.m. same day in I. O. O. F. hall at Fullerton under auspices of the Fullerton Ebell and at the Grand theater in Anaheim at 7:30 p.m., same day. The picture will show each department of the company at work. A miniature switchboard, specially constructed and operated by employees of the telephone company, is used in the demonstrations, which are designed to give Orange county telephone users a thorough insight into the intricacies of the company's service. Similar demonstrations presented before prominent clubs in Los Angeles, as well as at the various high schools in Southern California, proved quite popular, according to Beard and all who have witnessed the performance were highly pleased. From eight to twelve operatives were required to present this show and demonstration. Cable construction, as well as switchboard operations, are pictured in detail and the central office pictures show the number of different operations required to complete the average telephone call. Other details of telephone service are shown in detail. BAYLISS PURCHASES DUSTING MACHINE A. Bayliss, veteran sprayer, is the first in the Anaheim district to acquire one of the new dusting machines.

Bayliss, veteran sprayer, is the first in the Anaheim district to acquire one of the new dusting machines for fighting walnut and citrus pests. The machine by throwing dust over the trees will control the apes on walnuts and citrus trees and the red spider on citrus trees, it is claimed. Professor Quayle of the Riverside Experiment Station, highly recommends this method of fighting these pests which have offered a serious problem to the grower. P.C. Edmonds of Santa Ana has been trying out such a machine with excellent results. Many local growers have been anxiously waiting for arrival of such a machine.
