O.\n\n15775\n\nRECR\n\nREGP 5 SEP 31\n\n508\n\nTULE\n\nHongkong Telegraph.\n\nHONGKONG, 25 JUL, 1881.\n\nSeveral rumours have reached us during the last few days that certain remarks which appeared in our article on Chinese Emigration to Australia, in the Telegraph of the 12th instant, have given offence to Captain Thomsett, and one of his subordinates in the Emigration department. It would appear that these gentlemen consider that our observations reflect unfairly on them as officers of the Government. We gladly avail ourselves of this opportunity to assure Captain Thomsett and the Portuguese gentleman (whose name we have not the pleasure of knowing), that nothing was further from our intention, than that our remarks should be so construed as to reflect in the slightest degree either on the Emigration Officer or his clerk.\n\nCaptain Thomsett is well-known as an officer of high character and distinguished ability, and the eminent services he rendered his country in the Royal Navy for a period of over 21 years, have been equalled by the admirable and efficient manner in which he has served the Colonial Government in Hongkong, as Harbour-Master, Marine Magistrate, and Customs Officer since 1861.\n\nIn the article which is said to have given offence, we hazarded an opinion to the effect that the emigration officer's examination (of the Chinese emigrants in the Glamis Castle) \"was a thorough farce, must be patent to every one who knows anything of the manner in which those sham examinations are conducted\"; but we utterly disclaim any intention on our part that this should be construed as a reflection either on the character or competency of Captain Thomsett.\n\nAs a matter of fact, we distinctly stated that the Governor was the officer who was responsible for the existence of a state of affairs, which we had good reasons for believing, were not satisfactory. We unreservedly withdraw everything which Captain Thomsett may consider an imputation against himself as a private gentleman, and as a Government Officer, stated or implied; and in doing this unsolicited, we are simply performing an act of justice to a public servant, who as Emigration Officer, we are fully convinced, has always performed his duties, according to his lights, faithfully, honestly, and to the best of his ability.\n\nCaptain Thomsett cannot be held responsible for the existence of the present state of affairs with regard to the examination of emigrants, however unsatisfactory and imperfect the system may be. The Government, and not any individual colonial officer, is solely responsible.\n\nAs there can be little doubt that emigration from this port to the colonies and other places has been tainted with many evils, it is incumbent on the Government to see that all examinations are conducted with a strictness to defy imposition in any shape or form; and this, we think, can only be properly done by an officer who understands the Chinese language, and whose time is not taken up with other, and more important duties.\n\nCaptain Thomsett, we are informed, does not speak Chinese, and we know that, as Harbour Master, Marine Magistrate, and Customs Officer, he is one of the most hard worked officials in the Government service; and it is on these grounds, and on these grounds alone, that we consider a change in the Emigration Department would be beneficial to the public service.\n\nWith special reference to the Portuguese clerk, of whom we said: \"whose honorarium from the state hardly places him in the position assigned to Caesar's wife,\" we need only state that we wished to draw the attention of the Government to the fact, that at times very important duties were entrusted to a miserably paid clerk, instead of to a highly paid and responsible officer, whose position would place him beyond the breath of suspicion; and that we had no intention of imputing improper motives to a gentleman whose position was his misfortune, not his fault, and who for aught we know to the contrary, may be a paragon of Government servants for trustworthiness, and efficiency.\n\nIt is our desire to conduct this journal honorably, and impartially, in the interests of the public.

Captain Thomsett, the Emigration Officer, considering that his prerogative was being infringed on, objected to the examination of the emigrants by any other person excepting himself, and the upshot of the fracas was that Dr. Eitel left the office in disgust, leaving Dr. Stewart and Mr. Gerrard to settle with Captain Thomsett as best they could. \n\nThese two gentlemen settled the question, so far as they were concerned, by proceeding with the examination as directed by the Governor, and after devoting two hours to questioning ten men, they reported that, if the emigrants they had examined were not free and under no contract of service, it would be impossible for them to show that they were not. Soon after Dr. Stewart and Mr. Gerrard had left the Harbour Office, Dr. Eitel returned by order of His Excellency, and was permitted to question four emigrants, and reported :-\"Taking these four men as a sample of the whole, I am convinced that the vast majority would, on strict examination, be found to be men utterly unable to pay the passage money themselves, but who, whilst being perfectly free and willing emigrants, have had the passage money advanced to them by Chinese firms,and will have to repay the money with interest within 18 months after arrival in Australia. The very appearance of the men, shoeless, stockingless--indicated the class of labouring men who live from hand to mouth, and from the experience I have had of these classes in China, I am induced to believe that the idea of these men having paid their passages with their own money is utterly improbable.\" We have very carefully gone over the printed notes of the evidence of the witnesses examined, and have no hesitation whatever in confirming Dr. Eitel's report in every particular. Captain Thomsett reported on the 28th April that he had examined the 839 Chinese emigrants, and found that they were free and under no contracting of service whatever. One man however, one of the four examined by Dr. Eitel, had admitted that he had a written agreement, and his name was removed from the list. On this report, the Governor, holding Captain Thomsett responsible for the examination of the 835 whom Dr. Eitel had not examined, signed the license, and the steamer accordingly left on the following day. \n\nCorrespondents are requested to forward their names and addresses with all communications intended for insertion, not necessarily for publication, but as evidence of good faith.\n\nTHE DISPENSARY, \n\nFoochow.\n\nNotices to Correspondents.

Further delay has, however, been caused in connection with the signing of the necessary papers.\" \n\nIt will be remembered that the above named steamer, under charter to Messrs. Gibb, Livingston & Co., left this port on Friday, April 29th, carrying officially 839 Chinese passengers bound for Sydney, and other Australian ports, having been delayed several days after her advertised time of departure in order that the passengers might be examined by the \"eminent board\" above referred to, consisting of the Acting Colonial Secretary, the Acting Registrar General, and Dr. Eitel, to ascertain whether the passengers were really free emigrants, as described in the passenger list.\n\nEvery mercantile man in Hongkong knows well enough, the system by which these so-called free emigrants are shipped on board steamers for the Colonies, and they are well acquainted with the share taken in the transactions by the Chinese Agents, or sub-charterers, so we shall not waste time and space by detailing matters which are perfectly understood throughout this colony. Emigration from China to the Colonies should not be encouraged, because it is very rarely conducted honestly towards the emigrants themselves, and it has been, is, and will be the cause of serious troubles in nearly every city in Australia. Chinese labour of the description sent down in Glamis Castle is not required, nor is it desired in the Colonies, Gold diggers, tin miners, and general laborers are not the sort of people likely to add to the permanent stability of the country; and the natural development of the Australian continent will come in its own good time, so far as railways, etc., etc., are concerned, without the aid of Chinese labour. The Colonies are progressing with the times sufficiently fast to meet their own requirements. Although certain powerful companies in Australia would like to see, for their own especial benefit, a great deal of cheap Chinese labor introduced into the country, the great mass of the people are strongly averse to their being inundated with an alien race, whose presence has already made itself felt to the detriment of the native born laboring classes, as recent legislation on the subject has evidenced how the feeling of the people inclines. We read in the latest Sydney papers that when the emigrants by the Glamis Castle arrived, they were actually stoned in the streets. Such barbarous treatment to a race of inoffensive, well-meaning beings is a disgrace to our civilisation, but it proves clearly enough the strong feeling which exists against the Chinese in the capital of New South Wales, and that this feeling is a most powerful factor in the question we are now considering. The Imperial Chinese Government apparently take no interest worth naming in the immigration of their subjects, unless their attention happens to be directed to some tremendous grievance, similar to the cruelties practised against the coolies in Cuba, Peru, and elsewhere. The emigrants themselves are doubtless willing enough to try their luck in other lands, but they are of a class who cannot afford to pay for their own passages, hence the contract system, which under some circumstances is a sort of debased slavery. The prosperity of Hongkong, commercial or social, is not increased by encouraging the Chinese to emigrate to the Colonies; although no doubt, associations exist here as well as in Sydney.\n\nDEATH. \n\nAt Shanghai, on the 4th inst., on board Receiving-Ship Wellington, Captain George Wright Bounett, aged 38 years.\n\nIt was no doubt very annoying for the charterers of the Glamis Castle to have the steamer detained in the harbour for days after she was ready to go to sea, and it was equally certain that if the vessel had been permitted to leave without its so called free emigrants undergoing", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-194 - Governor Hennessy Administrator Tonnochy - 1881 [8-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 309524, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-194 - Governor Hennessy Administrator Tonnochy - 1881 [8-9]", "page_number": 185, "title": "CO129-194 - Governor Hennessy Administrator Tonnochy - 1881 [8-9]", "content_text": "As time is \n\nlibel, \n\nan \n\nelement \n\nk. \n\nof great importance, \n\nI have most respectfully to submit that I am entitled to a reply to my letter of the 16th instant without further delay.\n\nI have ... \n\n(Signed) St. Jp.

Gibb, Livingston & Co. applied to the Government, in the usual form under Section II of Ordinance 5 of 1876, for a general licence to convey Chinese Emigrants to Singapore and the Australian Colonies.\n\nThe application was in due course forwarded by the Harbour Master, who is also Emigration Officer, to the Colonial Secretary, and submitted to the Members of the Executive Council, who unanimously approved of the application.\n\nOrdinance 5 of 1874 (Part I. see Sections 4 and 5), clearly defines the difference in law which exists between a Chinese passenger ship carrying free emigrants, and one carrying emigrants under contract of service.\n\nThe owners or charterers of every Chinese passenger ship must give notice to the Emigration Officer that such a vessel has been laid on the berth for the conveyance of Chinese emigrants, specifying name of ship, destination, and probable time of departure; and in all cases where such intending emigrants are under contracts of service, the depot where these emigrants are to be lodged before embarkation must be stated.\n\nNo Chinese passenger ship can embark without a permit from the Emigration Officer, who is forbidden to issue the same unless he has proof that the emigrant has entered into a contract of service, and that such contract has been explained to him.\n\nThe Chinese emigration from this port to the Australian Colonies has been tainted to a considerable extent by what is known as the contract system, which under some circumstances is a sort of debased slavery.\n\nThe prosperity of Hongkong, commercial or social, is not increased by encouraging the Chinese to emigrate to the Colonies; although no doubt, associations exist here as well as in Sydney, for the purpose of arranging the contracts, getting the coolies from the country, and seeing them safely housed, and shipped here, and started to work on the other side, make vast sums out of the traffic.\n\nThere are many sound reasons why emigration to the Colonies should not be encouraged by the English Government; and we submit that the least the Hongkong executive can do is to insist on the ordinance being carried out to the letter, and that in the case of all free emigrants, a thorough examination be instituted by properly qualified examiners, instead of the unsatisfactory inspection by the Harbour Master, and a Portuguese clerk (whose honorarium from the state hardly places him in the position assigned to Caesar's wife), which has hitherto been considered sufficient.\n\nCapt.

Omitted is only paragraph (15 of the original Scheme) viz: the option given to Chinese candidates of offering translation from Chinese into English, instead of English Composition. The reasons for this omission are (a) that no candidate hitherto availed himself of that option, (b) that under ordinary circumstances, one would not care to avail himself of it (c) that examination in the Chinese language would embarrass the working of the Scheme through the Syndicate of the University of Cambridge.\n\n2.

Mr. Keswick has very properly and wisely said that before we can think of indulging ourselves in a British dollar we must count the cost. This should be done in all things and in this as much as anything else. An idea has occurred to me only this morning, about an hour before I came into this room, that perhaps the application which the Japanese make to us to allow them to do the work of solving the Japanese yen for circulation in Hongkong and the Straits might be turned into an enquiry on our part whether the Japanese Government would be willing at their mint, their magnificent mint—one of the best mints in the world—at Osaka, and with all the advantages which that mint possesses and which have been referred to by the Chairman in connection with the Japanese yen, whether they would coin a British dollar on the same terms on which they propose to coin the Japanese yen. They might possibly refuse, but I think it is quite possible that they might consent. The cost would be the same, and if the Japanese Government will coin a British dollar, and make that dollar legal tender in Japan, we may very well in return make the Japanese yen legal tender in Hongkong and Singapore. I have had no opportunity of seeing the members of the Committee on the subject because the idea only occurred to me one hour ago, but it seems to me that it might lead to a solution of the difficulty in which we are at present placed. The Japanese would find great advantage in it, and I believe that nothing would do more good in Japan at the present time of excitement and questioning than the circulation of a number of our coins with our noble and revered Queen upon them. I have just returned for the eighth time from a visit to Japan, and amidst all its beauty of scenery and people there is something lacking there. There is something lacking, and I am not quite sure that Englishmen are loved as much there as they ought to be or they were. Possibly it is that those Englishmen and other foreigners with whom the Japanese come into most close contact are not those whose influence is calculated to impress favourably the Japanese as a nation. I do think that while they are studying earnestly the English language, English literature, and English history, it would be a fine thing if we could possibly get them to look favourably on the English character, and I do think that the Queen's head would do more to pave the way for treaty revision in the sense in which the Japanese desire their treaties to be revised than anything else they could possibly adopt. It would bring us more closely together; there is no question about that. You will remember the song of the French poet of the First Empire which says, \"You make the laws; let me write the ballads.\" And I think we will find that of advantage to us in Hongkong. There is too little disposition on the part of the Chinese to render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's and I do not think the Chinese in Hongkong behave to us as they did 35 years ago when I first came here. I think they want to see the Queen's head among them a little more, and a few more of those dollars which once circulated in the colony and which are now hoarded up for their beauty and associations which linger round them. I cordially support the resolution brought forward, but if we can get our British dollar coined in Japan upon the condition of making the Japanese yen legal tender in Hongkong and the Straits Settlements I think it would be a good arrangement for all parties.\n\nMr. J. H. Scott—I have much pleasure in seconding Mr. Jackson's resolution.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN—Gentlemen, you have heard the resolution which was proposed by Mr. Jackson and seconded by Mr. Scott, That this Chamber move the Government to make the Japanese yen legal tender in this colony.\n\nThe resolution was then put and carried unanimously.\n\nHon. T. H. WHITEHEAD—I rise to move, \"That a Special Committee be appointed by the Committee of the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce to inquire into and report on the desirability, in the interests of trade, of the coinage of a British dollar, equal in weight and fineness to the Mexican dollar, for circulation in this Colony concurrently with the dollars which are now legal tender.\" It would be well, as Mr. Jackson has said, that we should have more than one string to our bow, and I fully concur with the remarks made by Mr. Jackson in connection with the Mexican dollar. At present, and for the last two weeks, it has not been possible to purchase Mexican dollars in the London market, and they have been quite as scarce in America. In view of the extraordinary policy adopted by the Indian Government it is very difficult to conceive what the Mexican Government (acting in unison with the American Government) might not do. It is quite possible a heavy export duty may be exacted in future, and if we had nothing but the Mexican dollar to fall back upon, our trade would have to bear the brunt and heat of the day. As regards the Japanese yen, they are and have been proved to be of uniform and safe value; but we do not know what the Japanese Government may do after what India has done. Japan may be inclined to limit her coinage or increase the mint charges; the seignorage or mintage—1 per cent.—now exacted by the Government leaves a loss, it is understood, of ½ per cent. In addition to that, if those who have to provide the currency had to ship bar silver from here to Kobe, convey it by rail from Kobe to Osaka and back to Kobe, and ship the money to Hongkong, they would have to bear the charges for shipping, freight, and insurance and railway charges, together with the loss of interest, which would increase the cost by at least 1 per cent. It is therefore most desirable that it should be possible to have a dollar coined in London. The mint is already established there, and all that is requisite and necessary is simply to have fresh dies; there are also the mints at Bombay and Calcutta, and by having these resources to fall back upon we would be better off than we were limited to the Mexican dollar and the Japanese yen. I, therefore, have much pleasure in moving the resolution I have just read out.\n\nMr. J. J. FRANCIS seconded the resolution. With reference to the suggestion of Mr. Granville Sharp that they should endeavour to get the Japanese Government to coin them a British dollar he did not think that the proposal was at all practicable and he did not think that it would in any case be desirable that a foreign nation should coin anything bearing the Queen's head. As to the establishment of a mint at Hongkong he did not think that that would be a remunerative enterprise as the Chinese Government were manifesting a disposition to have mints of their own, and if they went in for a system of mints in all the important parts we should soon find that we had no market for the coins which it cost us so much to produce. He thought therefore that it would be going in for a very great risk to start a mint in Hongkong seeing how heavy was the expenditure necessarily entailed in the establishing of a mint. It might, however, be very advantageous to have a British dollar coined in Bombay, London, or Calcutta as there would not then be any initial cost.\n\nHon. T. H. WHITEHEAD called the attention of the members to some correspondence with the Secretary of the Singapore Chamber of Commerce in 1887, which he said was of such general interest in connection with the subject they were discussing that perhaps the Press might see their way to republish it.\n\nMr. J. S. LAPRAIK asked whether the members of the Committee to be appointed to enquire into the question of a Hongkong dollar must necessarily be members of the Chamber of Commerce.\n\nHon. T. H. WHITEHEAD said that there was nothing in his resolution which suggested that, and that it would be quite open for the members of the Committee to invite any gentleman to join the sub-Committee.\n\nMr. GRANVILLE SHARP made a few remarks on the difficulty at present experienced in obtaining subsidiary coinage from the Treasury and suggested that that might very properly fall within the scope of the sub-Committee's enquiry. At the present time if any one required change for $10 they had to send for an order to the Treasury and then go to the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank for their small change.\n\nPage 360", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-259 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1893 [5-8].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 357797, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-267 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1895 [4-6]", "page_number": 654, "title": "CO129-267 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1895 [4-6]", "content_text": "# THE HONGKONG PETITION.\n\nThe Hon. T. H. Whitehead has addressed the following letter to The Times :-\n\nThe meanest Roman citizen had the right of appealing to Caesar against official oppression. In the modern British Empire \"Caesar\" is the public opinion of the United Kingdom. Against that force happily no injustice can stand. Studied by statesmen as assiduously as the winds and currents by sailors, and it controls even Parliament itself. The people of Hongkong are suffering and writhing under injustice; and, as their delegate, I appeal on their behalf through you to public opinion for redress. We confidently rely on your courtesy and the traditions of your great paper for a full and patient hearing.\n\nThe inhabitants of Hongkong desire to be allowed to enjoy a privilege, which every Englishman looks for, but which is denied to them—that of managing their own local affairs and controlling their own local expenditure, where Imperial considerations are not involved. They intrusted me with a petition to this effect, signed by almost every British person in the colony, and this petition was presented to the House of Commons a few days ago by Mr. Henniker Heaton, M.P.\n\nThe petitioners suggested that their aim—self-government so far as was consistent with Imperial interests—might be attained by allowing the free election of a majority of members of British nationality to the Legislative Council, freedom of speech, and the election of one or more unofficial members to the Executive Council. These concessions would give them the desired control of local affairs and local expenditure, as well as a consultative voice on Imperial questions, but their rights were to be, of course, subject to the Governor's veto, the paramount control resting with the Imperial Government.\n\nThere is nothing alarming or even presumptuous in this programme. The privileges are enjoyed by other Crown colonies, such as Malta, Cyprus, Mauritius, and British Honduras. But it is objected that Hongkong is a great naval and military station, that the bulk of the population consists of Chinamen, and that, therefore, the grant of self-government would be a dangerous experiment.\n\nWe answer that the limited degree of self-government desired by us, subject to the Governor's veto, could be no more dangerous in Hongkong than the much greater rights of self-government in Cape Colony, where also there is an overwhelming preponderance of the native element. Hongkong is a fortress, naval and military base; so is Malta, which has long controlled its own local affairs.\n\nWhat we propose is that only persons of British nationality should be electors. It is said that this means the government of 127,000 Chinamen by 800 Englishmen. Is that more shocking than the present government of 127,000 Chinamen by 12 Englishmen—namely, the Governor and 11 nominated councillors? It is not proposed to intrust the Chinese masses with voting power. The colony is British, it is the chief British naval and military centre in the Far East, and its trade, estimated at £40,000,000 a year, has been brought into existence and is mainly carried on by British merchants. But this does not prevent any Portuguese, Germans, Frenchmen, or Chinamen from acquiring British nationality, and so gaining the franchise. At this moment, and without naturalisation, a Chinese J.P. or a German member of the Chamber of Commerce is entitled to join in nominating to the Council with his brother merchants a representative for the Governor's approval.\n\nThe present Council is a mere mockery of representative government. A small secret Executive Council, or Cabinet, which obsequiously obeys directions from Downing Street, determines what legislation shall be carried. The proposals are then laid before the Legislative Council, which includes seven official members selected by the Crown, three unofficial selected by the Governor, and two unofficial selected by the magistrates and the Chamber of Commerce respectively. All the members have to be approved and appointed by the Crown, or virtually by the Governor and his advisers.\n\nWhat semblance of representative government can be found in such an arrangement? The unofficial members may protest against reckless extravagance or crushing taxation; the official members and the Governor himself may, as private persons, with hearts and consciences, join in that protest, and even (as in the case of Singapore last year) telegraph their protest to London. But orders must be obeyed and the official members, being always in a majority and acting under instructions, vote down all opposition.\n\nThe official members hold their posts or offices frequently, merely as stepping-stones to promotion elsewhere, and do not know so much of local needs as their unofficial colleagues, who have passed the best years of their lives in the colony, while the Colonial Office must know still less than the official members. Not long ago the London authorities censured the local Government for partially lighting certain streets with electricity at a cost to ourselves of our own money of about $2,000. At the same time, they were peremptorily ordering us to build a new gaol at a cost estimated at close upon £200,000, although it has been proved (and they have since admitted) that an extension of the old gaol at a cost of about £9,600 would amply suffice for all requirements.\n\nThere is no more loyal population in the Empire than that which I represent. We are educating the Chinese by means of great numbers of schools, we are improving our streets, we are carrying out useful public works, and we are labouring to enforce sanitary rules in that Augean stable, the native quarter of the town. But our resources are limited, and we are already taxed up to the limit of endurance. It is the fundamental principle of our Constitution that there should be no taxation without representation. We are anxious to do all in our power to safeguard the magnificent port and fortress committed to our keeping, but we earnestly plead for the privilege, the common birthright of our race, of settling our own local affairs in our own way and to our own mind.\n\nThat privilege we respectfully ask our fellow countrymen to confer upon us.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-267 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1895 [4-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 360218, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-271 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1896 [1-4]", "page_number": 414, "title": "CO129-271 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1896 [1-4]", "content_text": "# Class VIII C.\n\n1.

The Peak, as it exists at present, is the outcome of many years of enterprise and hard work on the part of the civil population, who have developed it, alone and unaided, at immense trouble and expense for the purpose of enjoying quietly, after the toils of the day are over, private and family life.\n\n9. is the only place where such a condition is possible, and we submit with all due respect that no sufficient reason exists for the introduction of barracks into the very midst of what is the most popular residential quarter of the Colony.\n\n10. We would also beg leave to point out that, whereas the average stay of a Regiment here is something under three years, the ordinary members of the civil community are frequently obliged to remain from twenty-five to thirty years, and in many cases a lifetime.\n\n11. We specially draw notice to the fact that for some years past no new houses have been allowed to be constructed in the Pok-fu-lam watershed area, and we submit that it is most undesirable that the settlement of 400 men just above the reservoir should be contemplated.\n\n12. Whatever rules and regulations may be laid down, it seems highly probable that a considerable amount of insanitary matter will find its way into the reservoir, as for many months in the year the troops will naturally roam over the hills and valleys adjoining for both exercise and recreation.\n\n13. Such a danger does not, we submit, exist in the case of the present Hotel, the residents of which are much fewer than the number of troops which it is proposed to quarter there, and are most of them engaged daily below in the pursuit of their various avocations.\n\n14. If barracks, as is rumoured, are also to be constructed at High West, the danger we refer to will be further augmented.\n\n15. In this connection it should be borne in mind that for residents and many who live to the West in Hong Kong, the Pok-to-lum reservoir forms their only water supply.\n\n16. We would therefore respectfully urge that all possible risk of contamination to our water supply should be avoided.\n\n17. As regards the Mount Austin Hotel, as there is only one narrow road with the very steep gradient of about one in three leading to it, it will be arduous for soldiers to find their way up from the lower level of Victoria on foot, and in the event of bodies of men being transported by the tram cars (which can only legally carry 40 passengers at a time) the dislocation of the ordinary traffic will be a serious inconvenience to all ordinary passengers, who will thereby be deprived of the car service.\n\n18. We would also respectfully urge that the narrowness of the existing roads at the Peak does not lend itself to the free movement of even moderately large bodies of troops without causing much inconvenience to the ordinary passengers.\n\n19. Sites, if not quite at such an altitude but equally good apparently from a strategic point of view, and more conveniently situated for the purposes of exercise and recreation on the part of the soldiers can be found along the chain of hills to the eastward.\n\n20. Mount Cameron, Caroline Hill, and the slopes above Causeway Bay appear very suitable sites for Barracks.\n\n21. We would submit that the sites above suggested are more central, more easy of access, and that they are within easy reach of the Happy Valley and Causeway Bay, the only open spaces large enough for military exercises in the Colony.\n\n22. The time has surely now come for the Imperial Government to formulate such a comprehensive scheme as will give adequate accommodation to the troops on this station, and this can be easily obtained in the localities already referred to, which are sufficiently high up to be cool and salubrious.\n\n23. On the one hand it is a comparatively simple matter for the Military Authorities, who have large means at their disposal and an almost unlimited choice of sites, to open up a new district. On the other hand it is a very difficult, slow and expensive process for civilians, who move one by one, to develop a new locality, and if a section of the community is driven below by the Military occupation of a place of large public resort at the Peak, an undesirable check will be placed upon the development and progress of the high level life of the Colony.\n\n24. In conclusion we would point out that the loss of the Hotel entails a considerable loss of public income, as the taxes on the property, amounting to several thousands of dollars per annum, will be lost to the Colonial Revenue. We would also beg leave to most respectfully urge that inasmuch as the ratepayers of this Colony have been called upon to contribute one-third of the cost of the expenditure of the Military Authorities upon barracks, some consideration should fairly and reasonably be shown to the wishes and appeal of the civil portion of the community.\n\n25. We therefore pray Your Excellency to intervene in our behalf with the War Department and to lay before the Military Authorities the objections which we have sketched above against the conversion of the Mount Austin Hotel into Barracks, and to ask them whether they would be willing to sell the building to a Public Company which would continue to manage it as an Hotel; and if so to give a respite of one month to the Colonists wherein to endeavour to raise the capital necessary for such purchase.\n\nD.

Our magazines, periodicals, and daily press teem with news: historical and philosophical articles, relating to the war. The eyes of the world are turned steadfastly on Europe. Neutral as well as belligerent have been drawn to or into the vortex. This writer tells us that the chief cause of the war was the ever-increasing thirst of France to avenge the theft of Alsace and Lorraine in 1871; another sets forth the deep-seated purpose of the Russian Bear to sun himself in peace at Constantinople; again we read that the war blood of Alaric has been boiling for years in the arteries of the kaiser and the German people that they would cross the Alps and annex Italy—would absorb the puny Balkan states and Turkey in their onward march into Asia and a world empire!\n\nAnd the supersensitive Englishman says he could not suffer the brutal betrayal of Belgian neutrality. England has presented her \"white papers\" to the world, wherein she sets forth her diplomatic correspondence just prior to the outbreak of the war, and whereby she would prove how she struggled for peace; Germany offers her \"white papers\" for the same purpose.\n\n### EXCUSES AND APOLOGIES\n\nThese and many similar excuses, apologies, and \"inevitable causes\" flood neutral countries, appealing for their moral support. Every student of history knows that these \"causes\" are for the most part puerile, superficial, temporary expedients. As boys and girls, we were taught in school that slavery was the cause of our Civil War, and it took us many years to learn that aristocracy and democracy, climate and soil, agricultural and manufacturing pursuits, the invention of the cotton-gin, the tariff, the acquisition of new territory, were the real fundamental causes of the war, which the match of slavery ignited.\n\nThe unbiased historian of the future will develop the real causes of the present war in Europe, and when he does, he will lay the burden of blame at the door of England. While England has long since abandoned the doctrine of the divine right of kings, she has never for a moment abandoned the doctrine that \"might makes right,\" and that under \"this buckler of the people's cause,\" she has been divinely appointed to gobble the earth and the fullness thereof. Justifying her greed under this specious plea or that, she has crept into first one nation and then another like a thief in the night, till today she rules one-fifth of the habitable globe—and boasts that the sun never sets upon her domains.\n\nBy what right? By the right of craft, cunning, greed, and violence. England has been the road hog, the commercial pirate, the homestead jumper of the world, for the last 400 years. And now, like every successful burglar, after looting the world and planting her batteries at every strategic point, she holds up her hands, reeking with the blood of every people under the sun, and rolls her hypocritical eyes to heaven and prays, \"Let us have peace!\" With a naval power twice that of Germany, she pleads with the kaiser to limit his armaments! Why? Simply that she may be mistress of the seas, the world's policeman—that she may enjoy her ill-gotten gains without fear of a righteous vengeance. Who says the English have no sense of humor?\n\n## ENGLAND'S POLICY\n\nA running glance at English history proves these statements ad nauseam. She went into India, the garden of the world, by craft, then with the bayonet, and finally with opium in one hand and the Bible in the other. Dreamy India soothed her captivity with the fumes of the drug but repudiated the Bible that came with the sword. From 1774, when Warren Hastings began his nefarious spoliation of India, the natives suffered their subjection to English rule till 1857, when came the Sepoy mutiny, at the close of which these enlightened Christian rulers lashed the leading Sepoys with their backs across the mouths of English cannon and blew them into the orthodox hell of \"Merrie Old England.\" After 140 years of civil and military administration in India, what has England to show the world? The cradle of the human race, the womb of the world's religions, has been given over to spoliation and abortion to fill the coffers of Threadneedle Street.\n\nIn 1704, Sir George Rooke, with \"unscrupulous patriotism,\" stole the rock of Gibraltar, after Charles III had fairly won it. Greedy England, quickly realizing that it was the key to all the Mediterranean states, \"was both unprincipled enough to sanction and ratify the occupation, and ungrateful enough to leave unrewarded the general,\" who by his perfidy and treachery had seized it.\n\nWhen Said Pasha, viceroy of Egypt, had granted a concession to De Lesseps to dig the Suez Canal, and he had begun that great work, who schemed, connived, and plotted to hinder, delay, and block the undertaking? Who brought pressure to bear on the Sublime Porte of Turkey not to give his consent to the construction of the canal? Who inveigled the native labor away from the work and then rejoiced that \"poor De Lesseps must go to the wall?\" Who voted in parliament \"that the power and influence of the country should be employed in obliging the sultan to withhold his consent?\" England, always England! And when, in spite of all obstacles and treachery, the canal was constructed, who gobbled it? England!\n\n### \"CUNNING PHILANTHROPY\"\n\nWho then came forward with cunning philanthropy and loaned money to Egypt? And who then ostensibly sent her troops into Egypt to collect these loans, but in reality to possess and keep this ancient granary of the world, and thus still further strengthen her rights in the Suez Canal? England! England, the buccaneer of the seas, the spoiler of nations.\n\nForeigners, principally British foreigners, between 1880 and 1900, who had come into South Africa, were not satisfied with the rights of burghership, the laws governing the right of franchise. The country of the Dutch republics had been reclaimed from wild beasts and still wilder men. The Boers had fought their way, mile by mile, into the trackless veldt, the rugged mountains, and had carved out homes and a government for a peace-loving, contented people. They justly resented the foreign influx and the demands which would give the absolute control of their national life. Consequently, in 1896, Cecil Rhodes, the English premier of the Cape, sent Dr. Jamieson, with his mounted English police, on that despicable raid into the Transvaal.\n\nIt failed. The civilized world condemned the raid as an outrage, yet England left Cecil Rhodes unpunished, still allowed him his seat in the privy council, and continued his chartered company.\n\nFour years later, without just cause or right, inspired only by greed of gold and lust of empire, she marched an army of her mighty realms against this unoffending, peace-loving, contented, and industrious people, sacked and burned their homes, devastated their fields, and razed their towns, waged a bitter and cruel war against Boer forces, in whose ranks stood grizzled burghers, gray-haired women, and children, fighting for their homes, their liberty, and their native land. When Lord Roberts raised the British flag in Pretoria, he but drove another nail into the coffin of the English empire.\n\nAnd so we might speak of her treatment of Denmark in 1801 and 1807; of the treachery of her much-lauded Duke of Wellington at the Battle of Waterloo, who was dancing at Brussels while good old Blucher was forming his little army to meet the onslaught of Napoleon; or how, with direct and characteristic brutality, she attacked China in the \"Opium War,\" that she might get plenty of this drug to lull her subjects in India to sleep, and how finally, with her land and naval forces, she wrested Hong Kong from China and forced Canton, Amoy, Shanghai, Fuchow, and Ningpo to do business with the English East India Company, or its successor, the English government.\n\n### \"STIRRING UP OF STRIFE\"\n\nTo whatsoever part of the world we turn, we witness the same measureless treachery and violence, the stirring up of strife, that during the squabble, melee, or war, England may walk in and gobble some coveted prize.\n\nO'CONNELL'S, January 30, 1915\n\nThe whole civilized world should indict this British imperialism that has stalked rampant through every weak nation of the globe, trampling upon native religions, customs, culture, and patriotism, with an insatiate greed for gold and a lust for empire.\n\nShe has been tried in the balance and found wanting in her colonies and dependencies. For years, there has been evidence of their earnest desire to throw off her galling yoke. The recent troubles in Ireland, the present uprisings of the Boers, are but fitting illustrations that predict the future. Her thick-headed \"governmental classes,\" her arrogant, greedy, unsympathetic ministers, will eventually alienate her dependencies, as her Norths and Granvilles alienated her American colonies and drove them into rebellion.\n\nThe present war in Europe is, in the last analysis, a war between Germany and England. The issues which Russia and France have thrown into the struggle are trivial when compared with the fundamental actuating causes between Germany and England.\n\nCooped up in a territory smaller than the state of Texas are 60,000,000 Germans. Hemmed in by the Baltic and North seas, the plains of Poland, the mountains on her southern and eastern borders, and by Belgium and the Netherlands on the west, this mighty nation, conscious of its power, its wealth, its wonderful strides in the arts and sciences, industrial and agricultural pursuits, yearly pulsating with ever-increasing pressure against its borders, from the teeming, swelling life within, descended from an empire that ruled Western Europe before England and France had put on their national swaddling clothes—this nation can see no just cause why England should possess one-fifth of the habitable globe, while Germany suffers with growing pains within her limited confines.\n\nEngland wrested from Holland, Spain, and France, in turn, the mastery of the seas and commercial supremacy. A new nation now challenges that supremacy, and therein lies the basic cause of the present war, with its roots running far back into European history.\n\nIn this deep-seated and far-reaching antagonism, England comes to the United States begging, pleading for our moral support. She has sent her financier, Sir George Paish, to hobnob with Wall Street. She has deputized some of her most able writers to come to this country and pen columns of fulsome flattery about the American people—their mighty power, inexhaustible wealth, wonderful individuality, high-power progression, and even hinting at our culture and refinement. Shall we yield to Caesar the things that belong to God? If England is entitled to our moral support, then there is a moral obligation on our part to render it.\n\nMorals are traditional, practical, idealistic. \"Blood is thicker than water.\" \"The Anglo-Saxon nations are bound by a common speech, common customs, ethical and political aspirations to stand together,\" says the idealistic moralist. But nations ever have been and ever will be, while human nature remains as it is, actuated rather by traditional and practical morality. Measured by this latter standard, is England entitled to our moral support? Her oppression and tyranny toward our colonies from the founding of Jamestown to the cooping up of Cornwallis at Yorktown by the French and Americans; her impressment of American citizens into her naval service that led to the War of 1812; her evil wishes, treacherous machinations, subscriptions to Confederate loans, hostile speeches in parliament, building of the Alabama and other ironclads which were fitted out in her harbors and sent forth to prey upon and destroy the ships of the loyal citizens of this country, after she had declared her neutrality in our Civil War; her bold attempt to filch from us this very state of Washington; her constant sneers, cynicism, taunts, and insults, not only to our form of government and our laws but to anything and everything American, that have appeared in the books of her authors and in her daily press, ever since our Civil War down to the breaking out of the present European War—these and many similar acts on the part of England toward this country answer the question whether traditional and practical morality calls upon us now to give her our moral support.\n\nIs it for the benefit of humanity, for our own moral and material benefit, that we ethically uphold the hands of this robber of nations, that she may be strengthened in her grasp upon one-fifth of the habitable globe? Her orators, exhorting a decadent nation to arms, have already begun to cast lots over the spoils of war. Alsace and Lorraine are to be given to France; Russia is, perhaps, to be strengthened in the Balkans on her way to Constantinople; the naval forces of the kaiser are to be wiped off the seas; Belgium is to be reimbursed and rehabilitated as an outside guard for England's southern shore; and the German people are to be relegated to a quiet, pastoral life, with the privilege of exporting their few products in British bottoms!\n\nWe have wisely proclaimed our neutrality in the present war. Let us keep it in good faith and not in treachery, as did England her neutrality in our Civil War. Our people are conglomerate, and naturally, some sympathize with one nation, some with another, but we are all Americans, and loyalty to our own country, loyalty to humanity, forbids that we give moral support to that nation which is seeking to crush Germany—to that nation whose whole history in dealing with other nations smells to heaven of craft, greed, and violence—to that nation who fought us with mercenaries and is now summoning her satraps, her heathen hordes, to the slaughter of the German people, one of the foremost products of modern civilization.\n\n## A SAD CASE\n\nSamuel A. Greeley of Chicago has suffered a serious loss. He will not get the job from the Manila city government nor the P350 a week and all his expenses paid for telling the local garbage wagon drivers whether they are doing their work properly.\n\nIt is indeed a sad case, but why in the name of Sam Hill could he not have been made some kind of an assistant director of the bureau of agriculture? Is this bureau really loaded up with junk and unable to take on more? Where will they put Census Expert Col. Johnston if the legislature fails to pass the necessary appropriation for census work?

Sometimes it was said the climate was working havoc on the Sikhs. At other times, the ground of complaint was that the Hindus had no work. The Hindu, like the rest of us, went on heedless of the keen interest manifested on his behalf. When it was reported that the Sikhs were starving, and everybody was feeling the effect of hard times, the Hindus, in spite of prejudice, built a meeting-house worth $7,000 for the worship of God, the Father of all. How a starving people could do this is a wonder to me.\n\nWith the return of prosperity, the feeling against the Japanese and Chinese died down. Each Chinaman coming to British Columbia contributed $500 to the revenue, and behind the Japanese was a powerful government, in alliance with Britain. The prejudice against Asiatic races then became somewhat concentrated upon the Sikhs, for whom, in contrast with the other Asiatics, no Government representative appeared at any of the official inquiries into the circumstances of Oriental immigration. In 1908, a scheme to take the Sikhs to British Honduras was started. A Mr. Harkin, representing the Ottawa Government, went to Vancouver and, through another man, made overtures to the Sikhs, who, being naturally polite, wanted to investigate about the \"promise land\" as represented to them by their friends. Two representatives were sent by the Hindus of British Columbia to Honduras to look into the matter. They went there and found conditions not quite the same as they were said to be. On their return, these two men laid their report before the Hindu assembly, which was to the effect that the Sikhs who were going to be taken to Honduras were going there as indentured laborers and thus were going to lose their liberty. The Hindus already in Honduras were in a pitiable condition. Indenture forms were ready to be signed for the men who were to go from Canada to Belize. Well has it been said, \"Save us from our friends.\"\n\nThe officials also went to the Vancouver Sikh temple with these delegates and were asked to come upstairs to the open meeting and address the assembly. The Sikhs think that the authorities used ways and means which the Sikhs had never heard of before. The Sikhs, being farmers and simple by nature, believed in British justice and fair play. They had never had the experience of a real game at politics. They saw through the whole thing and decided not to go to Honduras. During all this affair, the Sikhs had the help and guidance of Prof. Toja Singh, M.A., LL.B. (Harvard), for whose services at this crisis in their history the Hindus cannot be too grateful.\n\nPage 4\n\nMany of the Sikhs in Canada had fought in the British India army and had thus shown by personal sacrifice and heroism that their citizenship in the Empire was not of talk alone but was supported by deeds. As British subjects, they had a status which no subtlety on the part of the politicians could destroy. Who can forget the Saragarhi episode and similar wonderful feats of valor on the Indian frontier? In the dark days of the Indian mutiny, the Sikhs helped the British in India to the uttermost.\n\nThe Canadian Government, chagrined at this failure of wholesale transferring of Hindus in Canada to British Honduras, fell back on another course of action. It was a policy of petty persecution, at least so it appeared to the Sikhs. Anybody who spoke on behalf of the Sikhs was warned. Apparently, the Sikhs were good enough to fight for the Empire, but when it came to a claim for equal rights, our statesmen assumed grave faces.\n\nThe Sikhs, not knowing English, had to contend with many difficulties. They could not rent houses and therefore had to live in tumbled-down shacks or whatever shelter they could provide to keep out the rain and cold. By the end of the year 1908, there were about 4,000 Hindus, all told, in Canada. They, like any other set of people, had come at first to find out about the \"new land,\" and naturally, when they had found work, they wanted to get their families. In the meantime, the question of Hindu immigration had assumed such proportions that the Government had to formulate a policy. The Sikhs, on account of their hard labor, sober ways, and frugal habits, prospered. They bought land, livestock, farms, etc., and invested their hard-earned savings in this country instead of sending it home to India. If that is a fault, we can claim our full share of it. These men from the Orient belong to an ancient civilized race and have the shrewdness common to all men who till the soil. They made some shrewd investments and made good. Now and again, they were cheated out of their savings by unscrupulous \"business\" men, but they had to get this bitter experience.\n\nThe Ottawa Government, to prevent the Japanese influx from Honolulu, passed an order-in-council requiring all immigrants coming to Canada to travel by a direct and continuous journey.\n\nThe Government sent a special Commissioner to England in 1908 to interview the Imperial authorities, and he had warned them, saying in his report that it is within the power of a few individuals to create a situation not only prejudicial to the lives and fortunes of hundreds of well-meaning and innocent persons but of grave concern to the British Empire itself.\n\nIn spite of this serious admonition, the continuous journey clause was applied in the case of the loyal Sikhs. Further immigration from India was stopped, and a \"No Hindu need apply\" sign was put on the door of Canada, although the Japanese and Chinese came in their hundreds. The Sikhs, being British, became the objects of a subterfuge by which they were not to be admitted, except they had come on the same ship direct from India to Canada. We find that during the last five years, only very few Hindus have come to the Dominion. So, this order-in-council practically amounts to an exclusion of the Hindus.\n\nWhilst this was going on, the Sikhs, before sending out for their families, wrote to Ottawa about the matter. They also consulted their friends in British Columbia and were advised that there was no legal barrier, for what human law can transcend God's law and sunder the husband from his wife and child. Still, there were rumors afloat that the wives and children of the Sikhs would not be admitted if they came.\n\nIn the summer of 1911, a respected and well-to-do Hindu, Hira Singh, sent for his wife. She was ordered deported. Action was taken in the courts, and after some weeks' delay, she was allowed to remain, without the case having been tried. It was all done as \"a matter of grace.\" The Hindus now realized their exact position, and whilst any foreigner - the Chinese and Japanese could get his wife and child if he could afford it and wanted to do so - no Hindu could do so except by a special act of grace.\n\nThe Sikhs and their friends sent many petitions and resolutions asking for admission of their families, but it was to no purpose. When we appealed to the British Columbia Government, they said the matter was in the hands of the Dominion Government. So, in the fall of 1911, the Sikhs decided to appeal directly to Caesar. They sent a deputation across the continent to Ottawa. They saw the Minister of the Interior, who is in charge of the Immigration Department, and had two interviews with him, on Nov. 27th and 29th. Through him also, they had an interview with Premier Sir R. L. Borden, who said that their case would receive due consideration. The appeal of the Hindus was two-fold, and this is what it said:\n\n\"As loyal British subjects, we come to press for redress for onerous restrictions that have gradually reduced our status as British subjects below that of the most unfavored nationalities of the Orient.\n\n\"1. The restriction that most presses and needs very immediate redress is the prohibition by regulations that make it impossible for the wives and children of the Hindustanis residing in Canada to join them. The compulsory separation of families is punitive and in itself penal and can only lawfully be applied to criminals by any civilized nation. It is contrary to every human instinct and jeopardizes the existence of the family life, which is the very foundation of the British Empire as a whole. The regulation presses (contrary to all preconceived ideas of British justice and fair play) hardest on the weaker of the two parties concerned, namely, the mother and the child. There are no good political, economic, or racial reasons why this regulation should not be abolished. But, on the other hand, there are many cogent and weighty reasons, moral, economic, and imperial, why it should be. There is not a mother in Canada, looking into the eyes of her child, who would not sanction its repeal. It is well to consider, from an imperial standpoint, the reflex action of this regulation on the Sikh communities of India, who are so closely united by the bonds of their religion, whether it fosters loyalty or otherwise. Any and all of the unfavored nations of the Orient may bring their wives; is it too much to expect or ask that a British subject may also? For the honor and welfare of the Empire, we hope not.\n\nPage 6\n\n2. The next immigration regulation which we ask you to consider, with a view to modification or repeal, is the continuous journey restriction. First, because no law or restriction has any force which is impossible to observe. Continuous journey, as now defined, is impossible. No other country asks its own subjects to do that which, from the very nature of the case, they cannot. The thinking men of India and all who are directly or indirectly affected by this order-in-council fail to understand its application, where loyal subjects of the Crown are concerned; as a method of total restriction, that is another matter. But, on the other hand, we would ask you to consider, is there any progress of law or regulation that can be indirectly used to strip a loyal British subject of his inherent right to travel or reside in any part of the Empire? If not, then why this restriction? Our common Sovereigns, Their Majesties, have solemnly promised all subjects of the Empire, regardless of race, equality of treatment. We request also that you remove restrictions on students, merchants, and tourists entering Canada, and that they may be placed on the same footing as other nationalities at least. In the very near future, the granting of this last clause will prove most advantageous from a commercial standpoint.\"\n\nAs the deputation wanted an answer to their petition before their return, they had another interview with the Hon. the Minister of the Interior, who, on Dec. 15th, 1911, said that the Dominion Government had seen their way to...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-433 - Governor Sir May - 1916 [5-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 486451, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-466 - Individuals - 1920", "page_number": 130, "title": "CO129-466 - Individuals - 1920", "content_text": "# Cultivation of Groundnuts\n\nThe sandy lands of many parts of Goajira are also admirably adapted for the cultivation of groundnuts. I would suggest that the Government import and distribute few cwts. of the best oil-yielding variety, with the view of encouraging its cultivation amongst the Indians for export.\n\n## The Exploitation of Natural Products\n\n### Salt\n\nBy far the most important natural product exploited in the peninsula is salt. The principal wealth of the northwestern part of Goajira lies in salt; salinas occurring along the coast practically throughout the whole extension of the peninsula. I am informed these salinas are capable of producing annually no less than a million of sacks. The present production is, however, limited, owing to the fact that there are other salinas nearer the centers of consumption, for example: Santa Marta, Barranquilla, and Cartagena. In competition with these centers of production, the product of Goajira, owing to the question of situation, works out at a higher cost; only by a reduction by the Government of the derechos de consumo could the salinas of this peninsula be worked to greater advantage. In 1915, the production amounted to 30,022 sacks, and during the present year (1916), 34,030 sacks have been despatched, and there is a balance awaiting despatch of 35,250. The labor employed in the extraction of the salt are Indians of both sexes, and in the season of collection, there are times when there are as many as one thousand Indians employed, a proof that the Indian can be harnessed to work.\n\nOf other natural products, skins and divi-divi rank in first importance, and the latter is not by any means exploited to the full extent possible.\n\n### Quika Resin\n\nA new product found in this peninsula is that known as Qüika resin. This is produced by a small tree, Cercidium spinosum, Tulasne, and the trunk and branches are covered with a layer of this resin; even the roots, when exposed to the air, become covered with resin. A single tree should yield several pounds of this product, and as it is very abundant in certain parts, it should prove an important new article of export if its value is such as I believe it to be. Samples have been forwarded to Europe for examination and report.\n\n### Tacamaca\n\nAt the extreme end of the peninsula is found another resin which may also prove of export value. It is known as Tacamaca and to the Indians as Aría. It is afforded by a small tree which I take to be a species of Bursera. The question of its properties and commercial value is being investigated.\n\n## Training the Youth of Goajira\n\nThe advantages to be derived by the Departamento and the Nation should, in course of time, well repay any extra outlay necessary in Administration. Little can be done probably with the older generation, but efforts should be made to employ them as herdsmen and in agriculture and not try to educate them. Attention should be directed to the instruction of the young Indians, withdrawing them as far as practicable from the environment and influence of their parents, and accommodating them in establishments where they will be taught Spanish, arithmetic, to read and write, and be catechised. More particularly, they should be instructed in handicrafts, such as carpentry, smithwork, weaving, ropemaking (utilizing the native fibers), batmaking, and other industries that will prove useful and valuable.\n\n## Administration\n\nAn efficient Administration would require a chain of Stations around the Coast, which, connected by telegraph, would also serve as Coastguard stations and help to control smuggling. Administrative Stations would also be necessary at all populated centers in the interior. Such an Administration manned by sympathetic and competent officials who understand the Indians, their customs, and language, would doubtless produce a moral influence and command the respect of the Indians.\n\n# THE GOAJIRAN INDIANS\n\n## A Government Asset\n\nWhat has most impressed me as the result of this journey, apart from the question of possible industries, is the value to the Nation of the Indian population of Goajira. In my opinion, the Indians are a valuable asset to the Government, in spite of the occasional hostility of certain of the tribes.\n\n### The Indian Population\n\nThe Nation, if it is to develop its vacant lands, must have recourse to colonization by encouraging immigration; this is a big question, and the difficulties in regard to it are not reduced by the present European War. Here in this peninsula is a valuable native colony already established, estimated officially at 40,000. There is a great divergence of opinion as to the exact number, some estimating as low as 25,000, others as high as 50,000. Whatever the number may be, there is no doubt that it is being reduced by emigration to Venezuela and deaths from malaria, etc.\n\nOwing to a succession of bad years and to the absence of local industries which would afford them employment at home, many Indians have emigrated to Venezuela. The remedy lies in the provision of water at all populous centers to secure the establishment of permanent homes. To encourage the cultivation of cotton and groundnuts, home industries that will afford them employment and a livelihood that will help them to establish a home life and domestic ties.\n\n### Malaria\n\nAs I have already mentioned, a good number of Indians have this year (1916) died from malaria. This should not give the impression that this peninsula is unhealthy, as the prevalence of malaria this year is undoubtedly due to the very exceptionally heavy rains. I noted, however, that there was a complete absence of any measures to remedy the situation. The Government of India, in order to deal with the malaria of that country, established Cinchona plantations and placed quinine within the reach of the poorest subject, by putting up small packets of this specific and distributing same at the small charge of half a centavo each. Something might be done in this way in regard to the outlying and distant parts of Colombia, particularly since Cinchona is indigenous to the country.\n\nInstead of allowing this valuable asset to dwindle in value, every effort should be made to encourage the increase of population. If there are 50,000, and according to my informants, there were at one time more, the object should be to discourage emigration and try to reduce the death rate, so as to maintain as strong and prosperous a colony as possible for the development of the peninsula.\n\n## COMMUNICATIONS\n\nThere are no roads in Goajira, merely tracks. Communications are desirable, but the question is an exceedingly difficult one. Roads to be of use in the wet season would be of little or no service in the dry, in view of the circuitous route they would have to take to avoid the flooded lands, and the fact that in the dry season, everyone would use the most direct route when the country is dry and passable in all parts. The construction and maintenance of roads in Goajira would prove a most expensive undertaking, an expense which I do not consider at present justified, and I therefore cannot recommend that the Government should consider the question for the moment. The first necessity is to provide water at all the most important native and cattle centers; when this has been done, it will be time to consider the question of linking up these centers with roads.\n\n## LA PROVINCIA DE PADILLA\n\nFrom Rio Hacha, we left on December 6th for Valle Dupar. We proceeded via Trinta to Fonseca, visiting Barrancas from the latter town. Thence to Valle Dugar via San Juan del Caesar and Villa Nueva, visiting Orumito and the Sierra Montaña from Villa Nueva.\n\n### Maguey, Brasilwood, and Divi-divi\n\nThe first day's journey from Rio Hacha was through sandy lands alternating with clay soil in parts. The vegetation of the sandy lands comprises generally, as in the case of the Goajira peninsula, small spreading trees and lush; while the clay lands support chiefly cactus trees, Opuntias, etc. In the sandy lands, I noted the Maguey fibre plant (`Furcraca macrophylla, Baker`) abundant in various parts, but unfortunately always in waterless areas, so that its commercial extraction would be very difficult. Brasil-wood and divi-divi are also found in abundance. In the evening, we reached a small rancheria known as El Abra, where we camped the night. The distance from Rio Hacha to El Abra is computed at five and a half leagues, and the lands through which this road passes do not impress me as being of any agricultural importance, being in the main of poor character and waterless. Nevertheless, they produce natural... \n\nPage 13\nPage 19\nPage 128", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-466 - Individuals - 1920.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 486452, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-466 - Individuals - 1920", "page_number": 131, "title": "CO129-466 - Individuals - 1920", "content_text": "# Brasil-Wood Awaiting Shipment at Santa Marta\n\nproducts of economic importance which might, as I have mentioned, be exploited.\n\n## Trinta\n\nOn the 7th we left El Abra, and our journey continued during the first part of the day through lands of poor character similar to those of the preceding day. In a few hours, however, we reached lands with denser vegetation and better soil watered by various streams, and passed small settlements at frequent intervals. Cattle farming is the principal occupation of these parts, but I could not help noting the inferiority of the breed of cattle as compared with the herds of the Goajiran Indians. This more fertile zone was, however, in the latter part of this day's journey, replaced by poor, stony, and sterile lands, which did not improve as the northeastern spur of the Sierra Nevada range was approached. At various intervals, we passed caravans laden with produce, chiefly panela, en route to Rio Hacha, the capital of the province. Early in the afternoon, we reached the village of Trinta, which is a collection of unwhitewashed and mud houses grouped around a square at the base of the serrania; bearing little comparison, I thought, with the picturesque towns of the interior. I noticed here, and indeed throughout the province, that the epiphytic skin disease known as pinta is exceedingly prevalent in persons of both sexes. There is an entire absence in Trinta of any commercial activity, the inhabitants being dependent on local agriculture.\n\n## Fonseca\n\nOn the 8th we left Trinta and commenced the climb over the northeastern spur of the Sierra Nevada in the direction of the Caesar Valley. Here the vegetation changed, and we noted many graceful palms and passed through beautiful forest land. The palms referred to are known locally as Corúa, and the fruits afford a kernel which is edible and has the flavor of coconut. The road over the serrania is, however, a bad one, in turn steep ascents and descents and very rocky. Avoiding the more rocky and steep lands, suitable parts may be found for cacao and coffee.\n\nIn descending the serrania, we passed beautiful potreros of guinea-grass owned by a lady. On reaching her ranche, our animals, tired out by the trying hill journey, being mules of Goajira and not accustomed to hill climbing, we were tempted to stay the night. We inquired of this lady of the hills whether we could be provided with pasture for our animals, but she informed us that she had no pasture that day, and advised us to proceed to Fonseca, which she assured us was quite close by and where we should reach before nightfall. We proceeded and, on reaching the base of the hills, had to cross the Rio Rancheria in the dusk, and not knowing the passage, got wet through in doing so. We then reached the plains of the valley, covered, we could perceive in the dusk, by scrub forest. There being many tracks and our mules tired with their unusual journey, gave a lot of trouble by wandering frequently in the wrong direction. Eventually, they stampeded in the bush, and we heard with dismay our loads banging against tree after tree; we lost quite an hour in recapturing them and rearranging their loads. Continuing our journey, we eventually reached Fonseca at the late hour of 9:30 p.m., and although in no good humor, I freely forgave the lady of the hills the discourtesy of refusing us, out of her abundance, pasture for our few animals, but not for deluding us as to the distance to Fonseca!\n\n## Fonseca\n\nI sallied forth in the early morning to find that Fonseca is a picturesque little township, situated between the Sierra Nevada range and the Eastern Cordillera of the Andes, of something like four thousand inhabitants. The little houses are neat and whitewashed and at once present the appearance of possessing a more prosperous and industrious population. The town bears, however, the scars of the last revolution, remains of buildings telling the tale that it has not yet fully recovered the blow then received. Cattle raising and sugar-cane growing for panela are the principal occupations. The lands are somewhat sandy and poor, but considerable areas are irrigated from the river Rancheria, which flows past the town; this is the same river which at Rio Hacha is known as Calancara.\n\n## Barrancas\n\nLater on the 9th, I left for Barrancas in company with the Alcalde of Fonseca. Barrancas is situated about two leagues from Fonseca, and the road traverses poor, sandy, or stony lands, with a small peasant rancho here and there. The town of Barrancas possesses an excellent situation between the two great mountain ranges, but is composed principally of wattle-and-daub houses, for the most part unwhitewashed. The town has evidently seen better days; it has suffered from frequent fires, and the ruined houses around the square depict a tale of poverty and want.\n\n## Coal\n\nMy visit to Barrancas was made specially to inquire into the coal deposits said to be found in the Cordillera at Cerrejon, but on arrival there, found the coal further from Barrancas than I was led to believe, so later the same evening, we returned to Fonseca. I am told that coal has been found at Conejo and at other points along the Cordillera, so it would appear that these are outcrops of the same vein, and that coal is abundant throughout this region of the Cordillera. If this be so, it is a point of considerable importance for the future development of this section of the Department, for what would more justify a railway through to the Goajira peninsula with its terminus in the bay of El Portete as a coaling station and shipping port, than rich mines of coal?\n\n## San Juan del Caesar\n\nOn the 10th, we left Fonseca at 9 a.m. and arrived at San Juan del Caesar at 1 p.m., a distance of some four leagues. The lands between these towns are covered with scrub forest, are poor and sandy in character, and with little or no water. Brasil-wood and divi-divi are found at irregular intervals, and I noted on nearing San Juan that the Aloe, which is cultivated at Rio Hacha, is fairly common. San Juan del Caesar is a pretty town and lies on the banks of the Rio Caesar; it is the more aristocratic of those we passed through, for does not the youth of the Province boast with pride when he is about to marry a young lady of San Juan? Cattle farming and sugar-cane growing for panela are also the principal industries of this neighborhood. San Juan feels, probably as much as either of these towns, its isolation from centers of commerce and the need for roads and more rapid means of communication. In spite of the difficulties of situation and transport, the inhabitants struck me as being industrious and hardworking.\n\n## Brasilwood Trees\n\nIn the morning of the 11th, I was kindly accompanied from San Juan on a short excursion to the cascade of the Rio Caesar at the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, by Señor Dr. Rodolfo Danies. From San Juan to the cascade, I noted the lands of a very poor and sandy character, but I was surprised to find extensive forests of brasil-wood trees of a larger size than I had hitherto seen. I had met with nothing to bear comparison with these rich forests of brasil-wood in the Goajira peninsula, nor have I seen its equal since; unfortunately, however, its situation precludes the possibility of its exploitation at present. The cascade of the Rio Caesar is a miniature Tequendama, and the power it affords might some day be harnessed and applied to economic use in the district. In the afternoon, I left alone for Villa Nueva, having sent my caravan on in advance in the early morning. I noted a considerable improvement in the character of the lands to those we traversed in the preceding days. The chief industries of Villa Nueva are cattle farming and coffee growing in the neighboring hills.\n\n## PROVINCIA DE VALLE DUPAR\n\n## Orumito\n\nThe boundary of the Provincias of Padilla and Valle Dupar we passed this day, Villa Nueva being situated in the latter. The Province of Valle Dupar is the largest in area of the Department and has, according to the last census, 23,477 inhabitants. On the 12th, I sent my caravan from Villa Nueva to Valle Dupar direct early in the morning, with the intention of making a hurried journey to the coffee-growing region in the Sierra Montaña. Señor Antonio Aponte, the Alcalde of Villa Nueva, was good enough to accompany me, and we set out about midday, passing about an hour later the village of Orumito, where we lunched on the way.\n\n## Copper\n\nNumerous claims have been registered at Villa Nueva for copper fields in this region, and if the number of claims means anything, the locality should be rich in copper. Certainly, I was presented at Orumito with an exceptionally rich sample of this ore, which is said to have been found in a claim registered as \"Chiquinquira.\" This sample, which represents almost pure copper, is now on view at the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce at Bogotá. Suitable means of communication must be provided before any value can be placed on the copper finds of this locality. This means must needs be a railway, for how can the necessary machinery and plant be brought to this locality otherwise, or the ore exported?\n\nPage 20\nPage 21\nPage 129", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-466 - Individuals - 1920.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 486453, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-466 - Individuals - 1920", "page_number": 132, "title": "CO129-466 - Individuals - 1920", "content_text": "# RIO HACHA TO VALLE DUPAR\n\n## General Observations\n\nThe route of this part of the journey, it will be noted, was through the Caesar Valley which lies between the two great mountain ranges, the Eastern Cordillera of the Andes and the Sierra Nevada. These lands up to the foothills of the mountain ranges are for the most part flat in character, and almost throughout tend to a sandy nature, due partly to the fact that the larger rivers which water this area have their source in the granitic mountains of the Sierra Nevada. There are extensions of excellent lands in certain parts, particularly in the southern regions of the valley, though in the main these lands are only of medium quality and cannot be ranked as first-class agricultural lands. Apart from the plains of the valley, the foothills on both sides are usually rocky and dry in character with scant vegetation. These foothills often furnish excellent grazing lands for cattle, though there is frequently a scarcity of water. In the medium elevations are to be found sabanas of excellent pastures suitable for breeding-cattle, and in the upper parts suitable lands for coffee.\n\n## Cattle\n\nThroughout the Provinces of Padilla and Valle Dupar cattle is preeminently the principal industry, though it is only now recovering from the depletion of stock suffered during the last civil war. I noticed that in some parts ticks were very abundant, and that little or nothing was being done to deal with the pest, while cattle were dying from the loss of condition brought about by its prevalence. Owners should establish dipping tanks or spraying machines, and cooperate in a general way to endeavor to reduce and eradicate this pest. There is no doubt, however, that there is very considerable room for the expansion of the cattle industry in this region; the breeding of cattle can be carried on in the natural pasture lands of the hills, though for the fattening of stock artificial portreros are necessary.\n\n## Planting Industries\n\nApart from the cattle industry, planting enterprises are sadly limited owing to the absence of roads and the high cost of animal transport. There are considerable possibilities in coffee, cacao, cotton, tobacco, sugar, maize, groundnuts, etc., but until the pack mule be replaced by more modern and more suitable means of transport the possibilities of the expansion of planting industries are exceedingly limited. This question will, however, be dealt with in a later part of this report.\n\n# EXCURSION TO SIERRA NEVADA AND ROUTE\n\n## Valle Dupar to Puebloviejo\n\nHaving received urgent instructions to return to Bogotá immediately having concluded my journey to the Sierra Nevada, I made hurried arrangements on the 15th for the mountain journey. With the kindly assistance of the Alcalde and Señor J. M. Castro Bauti, who was good enough to provide transport animals for me as far as Puebloviejo, I was able to leave on the 16th. The object of this excursion was to obtain an opinion of the higher regions of the Sierra Nevada range regarding its agricultural resources and possibilities, and the prospects of establishing agricultural colonists in these parts. The route taken was via Puebloviejo and San Sebastian dei Rabago.\n\n## Valle Dupar to Santo Tomás\n\nI set out from Valle Dupar at about midday on the 16th, accompanied by my attendant and a guide from the town with three transport animals, and we reached a farm in the evening known as San Tomás, situated near the Rio Clavo, where we passed the night. San Tomás is about six leagues from Valle Dupar, and the road is chiefly through forest which carries useful timber trees of medium dimensions. The Cañaguati tree (Tecoma spectabilis), referred to in a previous part of this report, is here also at this time of the year (December) the most conspicuous tree, owing to its mass of golden bloom. As Santo Tomás is approached the land assumes a more open character, bush land alternating with sabanas of short grass. Here I noticed the cattle were in very poor condition, owing to the prevalence of Tabanid flies and ticks.\n\n## Ginger\n\nOn leaving Santo Tomás the road soon commences to ascend, the track was along forest clad streams and open grassy hill slopes, where I observed the cattle were in better condition than on the plains. I was very agreeably surprised this morning on making the important discovery that ginger is wild in these parts. The plant has never before, I believe, been found in a truly wild state, having been supposed for many years to be a native of tropical southeast Asia. In this neighbourhood it is found wild and in great abundance. On subsequent inquiry I found that ginger grows wild over extensive areas on the lower hills of the Sierra Nevada range, and also I am informed in various parts of the Eastern Cordillera. This is therefore another laurel for South America, and for Colombia in particular in that the theory that ginger was originally a native of tropical southeast Asia must now be abandoned and the credit given to Colombia. To Cinchona (also abundant in a wild state on the Sierra Nevada), cacao (also indigenous to the Department of Magdalena), the potato, various rubber plants and tobacco, etc., economic products which South America has furnished for world-wide use, must now be added ginger. The commercial importance of this discovery, however, lies in the fact that there are extensive wild sources of a valuable product which can be immediately exploited, and a new local industry established in the collection and preparation of the roots. I consider this discovery of great importance, and have already recommended an immediate shipment of a consignment of half a ton of these roots to foreign markets, in order to afford a practical test of its value in comparison with the cultivated root. Now is the dry season (December) in this region, and now is the season for the collection of the roots, the plants being in a dormant state.\n\n## Ginger as a Plantation Industry\n\nApart from the question of the exploitation of the wild product arises the possibility of its cultivation, and the initiation of a new plantation industry for this part of Colombia. Ginger is well known to be somewhat fastidious as to soils, the most valued root being produced in Jamaica, where it was probably introduced originally from South America and not the East. The fact that ginger is indigenous is proof that not only the soil, but also the climate, is appropriate; and it therefore only remains for planters to take up its cultivation as a plantation industry. I have noted that the roots of cultivated ginger are generally double the size of the wild product. A word of warning should, however, be given regarding its curing and drying; whatever method be employed the roots must be thoroughly dried and bleached before shipment, or it may reach the market in a mouldy or decayed condition and bring disappointment at the outset.\n\n## Puebloviejo\n\nThe track from Santo Tomáz to Puebloviejo ascends until an altitude of some 1120 metres above sea level is reached. The hills are open in character and covered with short grass, only the valleys and ravines being covered with forest growth. After passing the higher part of the hills, the road descends to the sabana of Puebloviejo, which settlement we reached in the early afternoon. Puebloviejo is not a town or village as the name might suggest, but a settlement.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-466 - Individuals - 1920.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 486456, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-466 - Individuals - 1920", "page_number": 135, "title": "CO129-466 - Individuals - 1920", "content_text": "## Sheep Farming\n\nLeaving the question of plantation industries, sheep farming for the production of wool and mutton should prove a paying industry. The Arhuaco Indians utilize the present production of wool for their own domestic needs, weaving a cloth from which they make their personal clothing. The introduction of suitable breeds of wool-producing sheep for the improvement of the native breed is desirable and would in course of time augment the production of wool for local manufacturing purposes.\n\n## Arhuaco Cattle\n\nThe Indians possess an excellent breed of cattle of hardy nature, reminding one somewhat of the famous Scotch breed of Great Britain. Much might be done, however, in the improvement of these herds by the introduction of good breeding stock of say the Scotch cattle. While pasture is not over-abundant in the dry season, there are moderate areas available for cattle farming, and a good deal could be done in valleys like the Duriamenya in the improvement of the pastures, and in growing forage roots for feeding purposes. The flavour of the beef I can vouch for as being excellent, comparing very favorably with the famous Scotch beef. Were the Duriamenya valley anywhere in the Bogotá region, it would be divided up into several properties, and converted into flourishing haciendas. The Indians possess some very fine specimens of transport oxen which are very powerful, and should prove very useful for ploughing and other field work on the hill slopes.\n\n## Sierra Nevada the Sanatorium of the Coast\n\nApart from the agricultural side, should not the Sierra Nevada be to the Coast population of Colombia what the hill stations of India are to the labourers of the hot and tropical plains? Here is an ideal climate which should be utilized to repair the debilitating effects of the trying climate of the Coast region, and to restore health and vigor to the tropical worker. Would not the Coast troops be more advantageously situated in the Sierra Nevada, rather than in the debilitating lowlands, once railway communication be established which would facilitate their mobilization and transport? These are questions of vital importance for the Government in framing its programme for the future, and of importance in aiding the development of these parts.\n\n## Colonization\n\nThe future of this region depends on its colonization by suitable settlers. The region, as I have before stated, is one for the man with small capital, the worker. Nowhere in the route of my tour have I seen extensive coffee lands as are found in the interior, for example in Cundinamarca; though of course extensive coffee plantations exist on the Santa Marta side of this mountain. At Puebloviejo, for instance, the coffee lands are confined to small valleys and ravines, such as are covered with forest growth. Again lands for fruit growing are not found in extensive areas, but rather in small allotments suitable for the small grower. Fruit growing, by the way, it might be mentioned, is not a cultivation that can be conducted in such a careless way as coffee is grown in these parts. Fruit growing for export is an occupation which requires much care from the selection and propagation of the trees to the picking and packing of the fruit, and those not prepared to bestow the necessary care and attention would better leave that industry alone.\n\n## Roads and Railways\n\nIt is premature, however, to consider the question of colonization previous to the opening up of the country by railroads and roads. Before families are established in this region, it is necessary to provide means of communication, and this means should be suitable for the industries it is proposed to foster. Fruit growing for export should be the most important cultivation in view, and to foster such an industry the Santa Marta Railway should be extended from Fundacion to the centre of the most important region for fruit growing. There is no reason why Santa Marta should not become as renowned for the export of citrus and other fruits as it is for the shipment of bananas, as the Sierra Nevada has much in its favor in being so much nearer to the American and European markets than the fruit growing lands of South Africa.\n\n## ARHUACOS\n\nThe Arhuaco Indians who inhabit the Sierra Nevada are a people of fine physique. They appear to have no relation with the Goajiros or Mutilones, having no semblance either in physique, customs or language. Unlike their neighbours, the Arhuacos are a peaceful and industrious people. They possess wattle-and-daub houses, a necessity probably born of the rigorous climate. They possess little gardens or gallineros, neatly enclosed by stone walls or Ceroxylon palm fences, in which they cultivate Canna indica, onions, cabbage, beans, peas, coffee, sugar-cane, oranges, unsanias, etc. The mansana is the fruit of a medium-size tree of the size of an orange, with large brown seeds embedded in a golden farinaceous substance which is edible. It has no relation to the apple as the name mansana suggests, but belongs to the order Sapotaceae. From cotton and wool the Arhuacos spin yarn which they weave in their simple looms into cloth from which they make their clothing; which, for the men consists of a heavy manta with trousers and sash and a quaint helmet made of fique fibre. They possess a considerable number of cattle, horses and sheep, though by no means so rich in this respect as the Goajiran Indians.\n\n### Coca\n\nOne of the peculiar and interesting customs of the Arhuacos is the use of coca by the men. No Arhuaco is ever seen without his muchile of coca leaves and a calabashita of lime. One of the friendly customs of these people when they meet on the road is to exchange a small handful of coca leaves. This, to them divine leaf, they chew nearly all day long and it is said that they can forego food for a considerable time without inconvenience if they have coca leaves. It is chewed together with lime much in the same way as the areca nut in India.\n\nOne of the chief characteristics of these people is their extreme tardiness. If on a journey and two friends meet they do not part until they have recounted every detail of news. On the arrival of one of my Indian companions at a camp where there were many Indians repairing a road, he spent nearly an hour recounting the object of my mission, detailing what I had said and what I had done, and during this time the crowd listened standing around without a single interruption. These people must have marvelous memories, for this custom must be a wonderful aid to the cultivation of memory; not one second did the orator falter for want of a word, it seemed like the recital of an oration learnt by memory. The Arhuacos are very independent and appear to have no desire for civilized customs; in fact, they have a strong desire to deal with and administer their own affairs, although extremely loyal to the Government. They appear to have little desire for trading, and do not seem to care to sell or even hire their cattle or horses; only as a favor do they part with a chicken or a few eggs. Even the Indians who are rich plead poverty and will tell you that they have very few or no cattle. I offered to buy a horse from an Indian known to have many, but the owner would not sell, observing that he would not be able to lend it to another person if he sold it to me.\n\n## Valle Dupar to the Magdalena River\n\nAfter having dealt with my collections at Valle Dupar, we left on January 3rd for El Banco on the Magdalena river via El Paso. We first journeyed through poor sandy lands, but the character improved as we proceeded, and later in the way we passed through heavy forests containing much useful timber. We camped the first night near the river Viejo.\n\n### Corozo or Cuesco Palm\n\nThe following day we continued our journey through heavy forest land, which, however, was soon replaced by more open lands with extensive sabanas of fine short grass, affording excellent grazing lands for cattle. The chief feature in this part is the cuesco or corozo palm, which is very abundant. I have referred to this palm in an earlier part of this report and mentioned that a sack of its nuts have been forwarded to the Exterior for examination and report. If these nuts prove to contain a percentage of oil that would pay for extraction, this region, in view of the abundance of these palms, should become an important centre for the collection of the nuts. I observed that the palms were more productive in the forest lands than on the sabanas, a fact doubtless due to injury caused to the palms by the annual fires of the sabanas. At noon we rested by a river to continue in the afternoon, owing to the heat of the plains by day. Leaving at dusk we travelled on till nearly midnight when we camped at a ranch near the village of Los Venados.\n\n### A Moonlight Ride\n\nHaving rested during the day on the 5th, we left at 4 o'clock in the afternoon to continue our journey across the plains by moonlight, since it was difficult to travel by day owing to the heat of the plains and the absence of water along the rest of the road to El Paso. We rode on through these dusty plains till nearly midnight, when we camped under a small tree, passing the night without food or water. At 4 a.m. we continued our journey and reached El Paso in the early morning.\n\n### Cattle Lands\n\nThese plains afford excellent grazing lands for cattle, but owing to the absence of water in the dry seasons, the cattle have then to be removed to the playones near the Caesar river. Artesian wells established at various intervals along these plains would immensely increase their value as cattle lands. It also occurs to me that their grazing value would be enormously enhanced if the famous cadilla grass of Goajira, to which I have already drawn attention, could be established on these plains; the experiment is certainly one well worth making. This region of the Province of Valle Dupar is very important from a cattle point of view, and its advantages over the cattle lands of the Magdalena river zone has been amply demonstrated recently by the ... \n\n28\n133", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-466 - Individuals - 1920.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 486457, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-466 - Individuals - 1920", "page_number": 136, "title": "CO129-466 - Individuals - 1920", "content_text": "# heavy losses incurred in that zone through the floods. Although in the dry season the cattle have to be removed from the plains to the playones, the permanent waters in the vicinity of the Caesar river affords a guarantee of abundant green pasture even in the driest seasons, a fact of great importance for this region.\n\n## Dipping of Cattle\n\nThe question, however, of the improvement of the local breed, is one that needs serious attention. Very little care appears to be given to the selection of breeding stock, with the result that the race leaves much to be desired. The tick pest is also one that must be handled, and dipping tanks established at convenient centers for the systematic dipping of cattle periodically. The tick most common is probably the **Boophilus australis, Fuller**, which is also found all along the Magdalena river. Tabanid flies are also very common in various parts from the Goajira peninsula to the Magdalena river, the species found in Goajira is **Tabanus trilineatus Latr**, and probably this and other species extend throughout this region.\n\n## Chiriguaná\n\nOn the following day we left by canoe at dusk for El Banco, breaking the journey at Chiriguaná where we reached about noon on the 8th. Here I was met by the genial Prefecto of Valle Dupar, Señor General Nehemias Maestre, to whom I am indebted for much valuable assistance in my journey through the Province.\n\n## Cacao\n\nThe next day, accompanied by the Prefecto and several gentlemen of Chiriguaná, we visited a cacaotale in the neighbourhood. Cacao was at one time more extensively cultivated in this neighbourhood than it is today, having given place to cattle raising. Owing to the long dry seasons which occur here, cacao appears to be a speculative cultivation without irrigation, and I am doubtful if it yields remunerative crops.\n\n## Pita de Colombia\n\nOn the 10th I visited the pitales which are found on the Santander road on the river Anime about one and a half leagues from Chiriguana. The pita is a fibre plant of considerable importance in this locality; as the local people when they have little else to do go into the forests and extract the fibre for the local markets. The fibre has a great reputation for its strength and durability, it being used by bootmakers locally in substitution for thread and for a variety of purposes, including fishing nets. It is sold at Chiriguana at the rate of 15 centavos per pound, and at El Banco at the absurdly high rate of 25 to 30 centavos per pound. Pita is an inappropriate name for this plant since sisal is known by that name in certain countries. It is also known locally under the name of **Pita del Opón**, but this name is also inappropriate, since it is not only found on the Opón river but also on the Carare and Caesar, and it is said also in the Choco and the llanos of San Martin. I therefore suggest that it may be more appropriately named **Pita de Colombia**. I believe this is a fibre plant with a great future, it grows in the shade of forest over extensive areas; in fact densely established nature-sown plantations, through which it is quite impossible to pass without cutting a way through. I forwarded a sample of this fibre to Kew last year, and it was then valued by London brokers (March) at £40 a ton, if shipped in quantities of not less than 100 tons at a time. I have since sent a sample to the Government Fibre Expert of the United States, who reported that it would command a price equal to that Yucatan henequén which was then (February, 1917) quoted at the high value of 16½ cents per pound in New York. In my opinion, the exploitation of this fibre should, in the near future, develop into a most important industry in these parts. These nature-established plantations are to be found over vast areas and in accessible locations where decorticating plant can be easily imported, conveyed and established, and where freight rates to the coast are insignificant. The existing types of decorticating machinery may need some modification since the pita leaf is more membraneous and of different texture to the leaves of sisal or fique, but these are questions which are now being studied. I may mention that this plant belongs to the pineapple family, **Bromeliaceae**, but the species has not yet been determined satisfactorily.\n\n### PITA DE COLOMBIA—A View In One of the PITALES of Chirigoaná\n\n30\n\n## Guanabanitá\n\nOn the plains at Chiriguaná, I noted an interesting vinous; a shrub bearing an orange-colored edible fruit known locally, from the resemblance of the young fruits to the Guanabaná, as **Guanabanitó**. The fruit is very attractive in appearance, and may be possibly improved as a table fruit by cultivation. Seed has been procured with that object in view.\n\n## Chiriguana to Chimichagwa\n\nOn the evening of the 10th we departed from Chiriguana down the river for El Banco. Having recently travelled through hot and dry regions we had not given the possibility of rain a thought, and had not therefore provided for it in fitting out our canoe. At about midnight an awful storm arose and rain fell in torrents, drenching ourselves and almost swamping the canoe. So heavy and penetrating was this aguacero in the cool hours of the night, that both boatmen fell down helpless with ague and fever, and we had to tether the canoe to the bank until they recovered. Eventually we reached Chimichagwa at 4 o'clock in the morning, but \n\n## Roads and Communications\n\nas the village was some little distance from the port, and moreover asleep, some hours passed before we could change our sodden clothes. We rested at Chimichagwa the whole of that day, as I was too ill with fever to proceed; having suffered continuous attacks since leaving Valle Dupar, and my condition had not improved by the exposure to the storm of the previous night.\n\n## Chimichagwa to El Banco\n\nOn the 12th we left Chimichagwa for El Banco. In this day's journey we had to pass the Cienega; the boatmen have considerable fear in crossing this large expanse of water, as in windy weather the passage can be a very rough one and very dangerous for the canoes. We crossed, however, in safety, and spending a night at a village on the way, we reached El Banco the next morning glad that we had at last reached the main road to Bogotá.\n\n## Fishing\n\nThe principal industry along the Caesar river, particularly along the lower part and the Cienega, is fishing. Fish of excellent quality is exceedingly abundant, and fishing affords a livelihood to a large number of people in this region. El Banco is consequently an important port of the Magdalena in connection with trade in fish.\n\n## Recent Floods\n\nWe had an excellent opportunity of seeing, in the villages along the Caesar towards its mouth, the damage that had been done to property by the recent floods. This whole region had been flooded in November and December previously, the buildings standing in a metre or more of water. As most of these buildings are of wattle-and-daub, and the daub had been dissolved away up to the water line, the houses presented a curious appearance, the lower parts showing nothing but the framework.\n\n# CONCLUSIONS\n\nOne thing is certain, that until the pack mule be replaced by more efficient and modern means of transport, there can be no appreciable development either in agriculture, mining or any commercial industry in this Department. As long as the pack mule is the vehicle by which the markets are reached, the present unsatisfactory conditions will continue. The most urgent need of this Department is therefore railways and roads. It would be possible to link up by a cart and motor road the various towns from Rio Hacha to El Paso, the navigable point to the Magdalena river on the Rio Caesar. Such a road, however, would be costly to construct and most to maintain, and there is no doubt that the best means of communication would be a railway, since there are many products in the interior parts such as timber, brasil-wood, divi-divi, salt, etc., that would not pay to transport by road, only as low freight produce by rail.\n\n## The Need of a Railway from Goajira to Rio Magdalena\n\nI understand that it has been proposed to construct a railway from Goajira to Tamalemeque on the Rio Magdalena, with the object of its being eventually extended to Bogotá. Such a line would render possible the exploitation of the indigenous products such as salt (from Goajira), timber, brasil-wood, divi-divi, **Pita de Colombia**, maguey, etc. It would give an impetus to plantation industries such as sugar growing, cotton cultivation, coffee planting, cacao, ginger, etc. It would facilitate the movement and export of cattle and the importation of breeding stock. It would help to develop Goajira, if such a railway traversed the peninsula to the bay of Et Portete, since it must do as Rio Hacha is only an open roadstead and not a port where steamers can call. It would place the interior parts of this Department within touch with the centers of commerce and civilization, and it would liberate the large number...\n\nPage 134", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-466 - Individuals - 1920.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 531652, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-536-1 Estimates- 1932 3-9-1931 - 16-6-1933", "page_number": 144, "title": "CO129-536-1 Estimates- 1932 3-9-1931 - 16-6-1933", "content_text": "SOUTH CHINA MORNING POST FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1931.\n\nBOOKSHELF.\n\nINDO-CHINA PARADISE.
