A traveller who visited the Sandwich
Islands recently claims to have discovered
among the natives there "the LATEST peo-
pie on earth" He writes that during his
visit 10 one of the islands none of the in
habitan's did any work TO speak OF. They
sougtted, chatted. laughed, Played. and
acted in other ways more like a lot Of
little folks on a summers evening than
the responsible heads of households. Ma
ture gives them enough 10 eat without
any considerable labor. and they seem
contented with what they receive.

Is in truth the most productive land on the globe, and that there is water in abundance only waiting for the magic wand of capital to develop it. There is no water-storage scheme on the Pacific coast that has one-half the natural advantages and so few engineer ing difficulties as the Butte reservoir. Here nature has built the abutments in ever-liy- ing rock and all that is left for man to do is to put in the headgate. the bluffs which form the gorge being only separated by a paltry 20 feet. { country is drained through this narrow canyon 200 miles square, representing 4O,0o0 square miles, or larger than Maine and Massachusetts combined. The rainfall is suf- feient to fill the reservoir twice 0 year, and the land to be brought under cultivation is practically limitless. This may read like a fairy tale, but it is every word true, and has been verified time and again.
