SAMOA.

The remarkable tripartite Berlin
agreement has come to an end and the
Samoan Islands will go either into
American or British control, as it may
be agreed upon between the two Anglo
Saxon powers. Under any circum-
stances the Island of Tutuila with its
harbor of Pago-Pago is American prop
erty and the chances are that the whole
group will become an appenage of the
Great Republic.
That the tripartite arrangement was
unavoidable has been very evident al
most from its inception. To the student
of history it was a fOregone conclusion,
but statesmen are not always students
of history, and then, moreover, they
like to try experiments and Samoa was
experimental upon in somewhat costly
fashion. Each signatOry to the Berlin
treaty has lost officers and men in petty
quarrels for which the gallant fellows
were far too good to die. The Samoan
has been shrewed enough to play the
jealousies of the local representatives of
the powers, one against the other. 1t

But all this is over now. 1t matters
very little which power becomes the
ruler of Samoa, the end will be the
same. The lands will be developed, or
der will come out of chaos and the busy
hum of industry will sound in the
sleepy hollows of the southern archi-
pelago. 1t will not be so dreamy as
Stevenson enjoyed, but it will become
practical and useful.
Looking at possibilities it seems prob
able that now that Germa 4 occupies
the whole of the line Island belt, Great
Britain, with its interests in Fiji, win
be quite willing to quit in Samoa and
round out her southern possessions with
Tonga. This latter is ripe to fall into
her hands. There is dissatisfaction
with the present ruler King George,
and anarchy would come if his petty
government were overthrow. Only a
strong power can occupy the place.
There is a good harbor at Tonga, while
Apia is really only an open roadstead,

SOLDIERS.

The officers of the transports in the
harbor are to be commended for the
care with which they looked after their
men last night. 1t is no small matter
to let loose fifteen hundred men in a
strange city and have the order that
was kept. Shortly after nightfall the
provost guard was in evidence, and
those of the soldiers who did not be-
have were promptly rounded up.
There was, it is true, a case of shoot
ing, but it was in the interest of dis
cipline. The man who was shot by the
guard was a Negro sergeant He was
f1ourishing a revolver around and start
ing in to own the low section of the
town. AS he would not obey military
orders to give up his pistol and behave,
he received the punishment that mill
tary law allows.
Our own police are perfectly capable
of handling even troops who come
through and they have shown their
ability time and again, but it is salts
factory to them to have the burden of
handling, bowling handfuls of blasphe-
hands and attended to by those whose
duty it is to see that discipline is pre-
served.
In all aggregations of troops there
must be substratum of rank bad fell
lows. 1t speaks well that in spite of
this fact there has never been any seri-
Gus disturbance while the 10000 soldiers
of the United States have passed
through our Island port.
If one considers for a moment the
poor pay, and the many discomforts of
a soldiers life, and the fact that he may
be going to his grave in the Luzon rice
fields one can only echo the words of

mittee by Cod gentlemen, I am as

Everybody wants to know what has
become of the Leonids, the town has
been sitting up to unseemly hours to
see them, but they have never put in
an appearance. The theory that the at
traction of the earth has put the star
shower out of gear is untenable, since
there are records of the same shower
going back as far as 7O2 of the present
era. The probability is that we are so
far west that the shower is over before
we have a chance of seeing it. There
may have been brilliant meteoric dis

erican hands. Eventually New Caledo-
mia will have to fall into Anglo-Saxon
hands, but that will be in the far future
of the next century
OF course this is looking ahead some
distance, but the way things are NOV
ing in the Pacific one can predicate re-
suits pretty fairly. The day for indie
pendent Polynesian monarchies has
passed away. They have been bolstered
up and the strong nations have done
their best for them, but the progress Of
the world has decreed that they are not
to be- Men of talent from the west have
wasted their energies upon them, be-
lieved in them, sacrificed themselves
for them, but to no purpose.
1t is safe to say that the Pacific dur
ing next century will be divided be-
tween three powers-America, Germany
and Great Britain. France though now
having a foothold will in the coming
years lose it. Not only will New Gale
donia, but Tahiti will slip from her
grasp She has never been colonizlng
power, though she has considerable for
eign possessions. The people she deals
with never assimilate. On the other
hand Germans, Americans and British
do. To the Frenchman there is but one
Mecca-Paris. To the three former, the
place that he makes his home, becomes
his Mecca.
The events in Samoa are only another
indication of what is going to happen
in the Pacific within a very few years.

Republic Mining District Properties. East
ern WASHINGTON

The Great Republic Gold Mining Com
pany has acquired very valuable proper
ties in the Republic Mining district, in
Eastern Washington, close to the cele-
brated Republic camp, which is by all
odds the foremost mining camp in the
state of Washington. Negotiations have
been in progress to this end for several
weeks. and at length the options were Sc
cured on very favorable terms on the
following properties:
1.-THE DRUMMER'S COPPER SILL
the Kettle river, Is miles south of the
new mining camp of Columbia and Grand
and within Is miles of the new extension
OF the Canadian Pacific railway, from
which the Great Republic Company pro-
poses to construct an electric railway
from Grand Forks, B. C, along the valley
Of the Kettle to the town Of Curlew, and
the Drummers mine TO the great mining
camp OF the REPUBLIC, distance Of 49
miles. That portion of the proposed road
from Curlew or the Drummer's mine Is
only Is miles. The grade is easy and there
are no engineering obstacles whatever.
2.-THE TOWNSHIP OF CURLEW,
near the Drummer's mine, which is the
logical business center Of the upper Re
public district, containing 100 acres.
S-ThFee good water Falls and splendid
mill and Smelter site connected with each.
4-Fen good mining claims in the heart
Of the Republic mining district, and near
the new town Of Curlew.
The townsite is one that commands the
gateway to Republic. both from Midway
and Grand FORKS, Il. {. 1t is a monopoly
50 far as townsite is concerned. as the
Indians have allotted lands on all sides
Of it. which they will not be able TO
ALLEVIATE for 20 years The three falls
are close to Curlew and afford ample
power.
By comforting with the map one will see
that Curlew is splendidly located for
big mining town and for a large smelter.
To the northwest is the great Tornado
mining country: to the northeast are
Grand Forks and the great Kootenai
mining country, as well as the vast min
ing interests of the American side, and to
the south, only Is miles away. are the
town of Republic and the great mines of
that vicinity
The ores of the Curlew district are al
most self=fluXing. An assay just made
of some of the ore from the cross-cut
now being run on the Drummer's property
show the following values: 10 2-10 per cent
copper $3l6S: 6 40 per cent lead s., 63: IT
ounces silver, $3.50; total $685l This
OF course, is better than the average as
we claim only from $50 TO $2S per ton for
the greater portion OF our ledge But
smelter on the ground could make $40 ore
pay a big profit. But one can see that ore
