pines and Hawaii, ii should not over
look the Caroline islands. They belong
TO Spain, and are also in q state OF re-
belilon. The Carolnes are in the Pa
cific, at least 1000 miles nearer to the
United States than the Philippines, and
are nearly in the same latitude. They
are mere dots upon the ocean. but one
of them would make a good stopping
place between the Sandwich islands
and our new Pacific possessions.
The great archipelago OF Micronesia
is divided up among several European
powers. Great Britain owns the Gilbert
islands and Fiji islands, and Spain the
L.adrones. which are a little TO the north
Of the Carolines and of very little value.
France controls vast number. of
which the Loyalty islands, including
New Caledonia, are the most important.
She also holds the Society islands, in
Guiding Otaheite, the Gambia islands.
and Marquesas. Germany is very anx-
ious To have the Samoan islands, which
are mere dots compared with the Philip
pines. The efforts made by that coun-
try to control Samoa, which is compare
lively SO insignificant, afford us some
idea of the importance the Philippines
possess.
Little is known of the people of the
Carolines. but they are always break
ing out in rebellion against Spanish
authority. If the war only lasts long
enough for us TO become strongly en-
trenched in the positions We are now
occupying. we may yet have time TO
capture the last remaining group. Then
Spain will only have the Canaries,
which, lying off the coast Of Africa, do
not come within the scope OF our pres
ent designs.

CITY OFFICIAL PAPER.

RAILROAD FnEitHrs AND FARES.

II Mr. Charles +. Chamberiin's state
ment Is correct that the Eastern Wash
iugton wheat crop in 1925 will aggregate
Is, 0co.e go bushels, II il obvious that the
farmer is going 20 be- prosperous in a
measure two years since altogether nn-
expected and unhoped for. Prices are
now good and the prospects are that
they will continue To he good for at
least the remainder % the season.
But the farmer Is not the only bene-
ficiary from the unusual conditions of
great crops and high prices. The rail
roads will derive an enormous revenue
from the shipment OF grain. Wheat
may so up or wheat may go down. but
the railroad tariff sheet goes on forever.
The greater the output of wheat. the
heavier the shipments, no matter what
the price and 40 matter how the farmer
prospers or falls 10 prosper This year
the grower has no cause to complain.
but that Ii no reason why he should
portionate share Of his profits.
The grain rate from Eastern Wash
ington 10 tidewater is 1875 per ton,
and IL Is estimated that the average
trainload is SEQ tons. or $S.4 per train
for an average OF 40 miles. The rail-
roads thus earn S7,56 per train mile
on class OF freight whose average
throughout the United States is. ac-
cordug to reliable statistics, about
Si.63 per mile. 1t must be taken into
consideration that the haul over the
mountains Is expensive. and that the
employment of many cars for only a
portion Of the year places thc service
above the usual cost. but IL appears
certain that the present scale can be
materially reduced and the carrier still
allowed a fair margin OF profit
It l. not on grain freights alone that
the people OF Washington are paying
enormously. The average passenger
fares are out Of all reason. and they
