THE SITUATION IN SAMOA.

Each succeeding month has
brought Us more and more serious
information regarding the compiled
tiOns that exist In Samoa. The whole
trouble has arisen from the greed
and selfshness of the Germans IN
their desire to acquire illegal pos
session of the property that right
fully belonged to others. The re-
markable fertility of the Samoan Is !
lands renders them desirable &C
QUESTION to any nation, and their |
geographical position is of prime !
importance. From q commercial !
standpoint, they were valuable to
the Germans, who control nine !
tenths of the trade, and 1t was not,
therefore, surprising that so fair
land should be regarded as a ut
place for IOoting. There was an OBJ
stacle in the way, however, in the
person of the King, MalietOa, who
maintained his patriotic spirit, and
refused to give away the lands of
his forefathers at the dictation of
foreigners. Malietoa had been a
good King, and was respected by
his subjects. He was not the sort
of man that the Germans wanted.
| They insolently seized and de-
! ported him from his native home,
| setting up the usurper, Tamasese,
! in his place. Here the Germans
have shown a far more barbarous
nature than did the unfortunate
Malietoa. But they have been for
tunately baked in their unlawful
desires; not by the so-called civil
lied nations Of the earth, which have
looked passively at the German
arrogance, but by the loyal follow
ers of the real king and owner of
Samoa. These natives have alone
protected their own property from a
foreign nations attacks and desires,
and their action should bring a
blush of shame to the powers of
other countries, who have been CON
!. tent to sit and watch a helpless peO-
pie while being robbed of their be-
Iongings. There is but one person
who comes out of this disgraceful
} affair with clean hands, and that is
the captain OF the Z. S. S. Adams
He has openly protested against the
German aggressiveness, and has
been a check upon their actions
He has, moreover, protected, not
= only the property of American citi
zens, but also that of the British
. 1t is deplorable to think that, in {
civilized age, a so-called civilized
nation should be permitted to out
3 rage all laws of decency and justice
S by attacking and attempting to rot
a harmless and peaceful native
. islander. We are glad to know tina
= the German puppet has been de
e feated by the faithful followers o
i the lawful King, who has been 81
q insulted and degraded. If this b.
not sufficient lesson for the Ger
mans, then it is high tune the,

departments, promotions should be |
made generally, though by no means
invariably, in the regular line OF
succession. But when we get out
side the range of these cases, OF
which the Clerks Office of the Su-
preme Court furnishes a very good
example, we shall find this much
Wanted rule subject to so many and
such striking exceptions as to be
practically no rule at all. 1t is a
rule which men of ability and sue
cess are never found adopting IN
their own business, except in very
limited and modified way.
AS regards most branches Of the
public business, there is deal of
humbug about the wonderful value
of years of practical training in the
SERVICE" and the superlative results
of long training in subordinate
positions in the same department"
Very fine words certainly, but they
represent a very moderate amount
of fact. In all the ordinary routine
positions in the public service, there
is nothing mysterious, complicated,
or profound. Any man possessed of
a fair degree of aptitude and good
powers of application can master the
details of such work in a short time,
and be just as efficient with a few
months of experience as he would IN
as many years. Another class of
positions, considerable in number,
and vital in Importance, require
either special professional training
or the possession of certain personal
qualifications, such as energy, organ
izing power, executive ability, the
gift of handling and controlling
men, or other special aptitudes Of
. various kinds. These things are
born in men, not acquired in offices
, Of couse these qualities can b.
greatly developed and improved b.
practice and experience. But unless
the foundation is we'll laid in tn
: nature of the man, no amount o
"long training in subordinate posi-
/ tions" can ever supply the deficiency
3 To shove a man along up IN
> purely routine and matter of cours
Way. simply because the next plac
l above him happens to be vacant
not the best way to encourage merit
3 or strengthen the public service
!. Confined to a certain limited rang
} of application, the idea is goo
{ one, and has tendency to encourag
i. fidelity in subordinate public sci
wants. Crystalized into a machin
and worshiped as fetch, it is q
dangerous and demoralizing g
, other forms of idolatry.

RESISTING IMPROVEMENTS.

We are very glad that our street
cars are being so well patronized.
We trust their business will continue
and increase. We confess we have
never been able to see how this en-
terprise, with the most liberal esti-
mates as to future patronage, could
be made to pay, upon any such basis
of cost as is commonly reported.
However, it is not our money which
is involved, and we sincerely hope
the investors are not mistaken IN
their calculations. Great as is the
public convenience involved in this
enterprise, we are not at all sur
prised that it should have excited
enmity in some quarters, and that
this feeling should have vented itself
in way characteristic of low ma
lures. It is impossible to introduce
any changes into the worlds routine
however beneficial they may be
whether the same affect agriculture
manufactures, the means of locomo
ton, or anything else, without pro
ducing temporary arrangement il
which some one shall seem to be the
loser. If such people happen to b'
of the vulgar and blackguard order
they will show their resentment II
vicious and cowardly attempts to in
jure the persons or property Of those
who they assume to be their enemies
Such acts are annoying, sometimes
worse, but they never seriously affec
the final result. The world moves

MLSSOULA COUNTY, N. 7.

\ TISSOULA COUNTY has very properly been de-
~ scribce a large mountain valley. The area
of the county estimated at 600 square miles, and is
divided by water courses into three large vaeys-thc
Flathcad Lake, Mssoula and Bitter Root. Contiguous
to these innumcrable smaller valleys extending
back into the mountains where found thousands of
miles of fine timber-pine, fir hemock, spruce, cedar
and t,m,rac being the principal varieties, while willow,
cottonwood black and red thorn SHAW" and almost
every variety Of wild shrubbery and berry hearing
bush known in the Middle are found along the
streams and lake banks, and on the mountain sides.
Deer Lodge river enters the county its southeastern
boundary, and after running through Hell Gate canyon
takes the Of Missoua river. From mountain
range the SOUTH arising II springs, lakes and
tain brooks, the Bitter Root river rises and flows
norhward toward the city Of Missoula through the Bit
ter Root valley.
From mountains the northern and northeastern
boundaries beautiful rivers and smaller streams flow
through picturesque and productive country, Of
them cmptying finally into the great Flathead lake,
grand inland, fresh water sea, romantic III location
and natural surroundings the famous lakes of
Switzerland. #.~" "" .m.
The first settlement in the county made in the
Bitter Root valley in the fall of lS4l, by the establish
of st. Marys mission the present site Of Fort
Owen The first fruit trees planted there in 1866,
but were nearly wincr-killcd the following year. The
experiment made again, and since then apples,
chcrrcs pears quinccs peaches, arcots grapes, straw
hcrrics blckbcrrics and raspberrcs successfully
grown.
In the Flathcad valley fruit raising yet in its in
fancy; but all the smaller fruits and berries yield
abnantly; an the altitude is lower and tempcra-
turc warmer than the Bitter Root country, there is
every prospect of abundant rewards for tree planters
The town of Mssoula has been steadily growing
since the advent of the Northern Pacific railroad, in the
of 1885, and during the last its growth has
been marvellous; but, singulary enough the town con-
nucd to grow the north side of the river entirely
and until recently but little heed taken of the south
side. Since the Mssoula & Bitter Root Valley rail-
road has been built however, which crosses the river
at the end of the town. public attention has been
awakened the advantages of south side of the river
for purposes. The land is somewhat higher than
the north side, and stretches away to the east and

Hoor 1t seems great pity that the south side of the
river had not been selected the for the town
site, but experience is great teacher and the fact is
realized that the future growth of Missoua will
be OH that stlc
Contemporancous with this awakening natural adj
vantages, and following the Spanish provcrb that 1t
rains but it pours, the Union Pacific railroad,
working northwesterly, coming down the Bitter Root
valley, and the Oregon Navigation company, coming
up the Mssoula river its route east, will meet herc
and i goes without saying that the yards and depot
buildings Of the two companies will be the southsde
q the river, All the available space the north side
is occupied by the Northern Pacific Property holders
the south side will undoubtedly realize handsomely
their investments within the next few years.
