got its Government to assume a pEotectorate
over the group and guaranteed that it would
pay the expenses of same.
The protectorate was established and high
commissioner with secretary and other
officials were sent to the islands, and 10 raise the
necessary coin TO pay for all this, heavy taxes
were imposed, Prior to this, there were no
taxes, but now MIR. Crawforu's head station
had to pay $500 per annum and his sub
stations corresponding amounts Every en-
ploye of Mr.. CraWford's in the islands white
yellow and black, had to pay 81 25 per quar-
Ter, and every captain and seaman sailing in
his vessels touching at the islands lad TO pay$3,
even though he slept aboard his vessel. Then
the natives had TO pay taxes also, and were
not allowed 10 sell products to any one until
the taxes were paid. The German firm had
the privilege OF taking for payment OF taxes
produce from the natives at so per cent of its
market value, and Mr.. Crawford, though
willing TO pay full market value for such pro-
duce, was not allowed to get 1t until the taxes
due by the natives were FULLY paid up. And
worst OF ali, the Germans ordered that one of
the islands In the group, where their firm had
lis head station, was in future 10 be the only
port OF entry and clearance for vessels touch
ing at the islands
This forced Mr.. Crawford to remove his head
station, where he had considerable money in-
vested, to the port of entry. The result OF the
system of protectorate government 50 estab-
llshed was that Crawford and other American
merchants were forced to cease doing further
business with the Marshall Islands No Amer
lean firm is now established in the group, the
natives have been pauperized aud the big Ger
man nrm under the protection OF It's Govern
ment has complete monopoly OF the island
business
This is what the Germans aim to do in
Samoa and such will be the result of their su-
premacy there if they allowed to get 1T.
In the efforts of our Chamber of Commerce
| to revive and improve the business OF this
City the above matter is worthy OF serious
attention. Not more than ten years ago there
| were about twenty sailing vessels carrying
American merchandise to dlffeIept groups OF
islands in the Pacific, one firm alone-that OF
A. Crawford & Co.-shipping lumber and d mer, c
per annum. These gave employment to our
sesmen, and their provisions and outfits were
got from our local merchants. Now, that there
are only two or three vessels making occa-
| sional trips, some idea may be formed of how
! the business of this port has diminished.
There are many other evils that have re-
suited through the grabbing up of Pacific
islands by foreign powers, aDu these can be
gone into for consideration later on. All the
Information that l have connected with the
foregoing is at your service. / beg TO remain,
yours very respectfully, JAMES r. WATSON.

Danger to
Young Men

The chances of total loss of manly power
are so great in men who find slight indi-
cations of waste in the system that it is
vitality important that such indications be
attended to at Hnce. They should be
checked while such a thing is possible. for
if they are permitted to continue, instead
of stopping naturally, they will become
greater from day to day, and will. in few
years, completely disrupt the whole nery-
Gus and vital organism.
Young men who notice what they con-
slider light symptoms OF weakness do not
realize the danger that turks in their path.
They do not understand the serious conse-
quences, the destruction of nerve tissue,
waste of vital force and power of brain,
loss of flesh, loss of memory and total
impotency. These are the consequences
that follow in the trail of slight evidences
of weakness.
