The following communication,
from the pen of C N. ("Prof.") Age
ton, now located at Mayaguez. Porto
Rico, will 1,,- interesting reading for
the many friends of the genial
"Prof..":
Mayaguez, P. R., March. 17. 1911.
Well, 1 have had 2 1 hours to look
around the town, and i have sure
seen a lot of stuff that is new to
me. (You will notice that this type
writer is also new to me.) I bad
a very good trip down on the boat,
there Was DO fought weather to speak
of, and 1 got through without get
ting seasick, although 1 came very
dangerously near to getting Into that
condition several times. It took live
days to get her,- from New York.
The fellows In Washington told me
that it would take me six days, but
I guess they must have mad, the
trip on some other boat. The
Coamo, the ship I came down on,
was on the run by accident, it. was
not her turn to run but the Caro
lina was out of the running with a
broken steering apparatus and the
Coamo went instead.
I met two chemists who were com
ing down to th, island for the pres
ent sugar campaign, ami they were
a good pair. One of them was from
New Orleans, and the other was a
native of Armenia. The rest of the
ship load were either high-brows of
one kind ami another or Bpigottys liv
ing on the island.
The first noise I heard from land In
tin- port of San Juan (at about 4:.'10
a m. was a rooster , rowing. 1 un
loaded from the ship at 6:30 and
then the fun began. About. 50 na
tives rushed up to carry my suit case
and to ask me If I had other baggage
to be moved. I finally made one of
them understand thai I wanted my
trunks moved to th.- railroad station.
Well, he moved i hem (in a hand
cart) and stung me for a dollar. 1
had no small change, and when I
handed him a dollar, he took it and
went away on a double quick. The
harbor of San Juan is just as beau
tiful ami picturesque as any of its
pictures represent. The shore line'

The Quality Store
is fringed with palm trees, and forts.
The scenery along the railroad
from San Juan to Mayaguez is grand.
Every few miles the train runs in
sight of the ocean, then whisks
around through the hills and cane
fields. Everywhere along the route
palm trees may be seen, while we
passed by and through several large
groves of them.
We stopped for dinner at a Span
ish hotel in a town with an unpro
nouncable name and I was reduced
to ,111 omelet Stuffed with garlic.
However there was some good bread
on the table and 1 made a meal of po
tatoes, bread and coffee, for which
the old robber charged me 50 cents.
If one does not speak Spanish well
enough to quarrel with them, these
people will rob him blind.
I got to Maj agin-/ at "; 30 p. m .
March 1 6t*h, and had a line time find
ing out where the station is.
Some of the descriptions of Porto
Rico that I have seen, mention the
fact that Spanish Is spoken bj many
of the people of Porto Rico. Allow
me to rise to remark that Spanish is
the only language that any of them
can speak or understand, as I found
out pretty plenty on my way from
San Juan over here. It is 122 miles
from San Juan to Mayaguez by rail.
For kids this place lias the world
beat or 1 am a goat. There are about
a hundred of them out in he street
by the house now.
I have a loom, or rat her IWO
rooms, with the supervising principal
of tin- Mayaguez district of the pub
lic schools. lb- is a Frenchman who
came here in 1899, 1 pay $6 a
month for the two rooms and he has
a navvy to do the ' leaning up. The
eats will cost about $20 more and
laundry about $2 or $3. The chief
chemist is laid up with a game foot
and will not be able to work for
about tWO or three weeks, SO I sup
pose that I will be in for a goodly
bunch of work at he outset. The
laboratory is a very nice room, and
is placed and constructed so thai it
will not. be very hot, no matter what
the temperature may be outside, i
am not sure- how the mail will run.
but I think there is twlce-a-week
mail service with the island.
