Social and economic conditions, as
they are reported to exist in Guam.
seem almost idyllic. Almost every one
owns land. and lives happily in cult
waiting 1t: ana only men do that neg
essary work, for the women remain
at home, engaged in more appropriate
duties. No mans necessities constrain
him to work for another. He is his
own capitalist and hired man, conse-
quently there are no strikes, no lock-
outs-no labor problem" in fact, to
perpiex and disturb. Since there is
no effective demand" for what the
people do not produce themselves, they
do not need money. There is neither
store nor market on the island In
which household necessaries may be
bought by eXiles from the outside
world, and according to Governor
0Leary, upon whose authority the
more essential facts stated above are
based, You have to beg people to sell
things" Obviously. modern progress
and modern ideas have wide field in
Guam.

GENERAL PASSENGER AGENI
MCPHERSON HERE.
Has No Advice of His Lines signing
Commission. ACCOMMODATIONS
II VIII stick and That Selling
Agents Will Not Be Reimbursed.

West-bound business over the Canadian
Pacific is heavy, while. like the ether
transcontinental lines, there is little east
bound travel. This is the passenger de-
partment situation of the road, as summed
up by General Passenger Agent McPher-
son. OF Winnipeg who, with Assistant
General Passenger Agent Coyie, of Van
couver. arrived in the city last night on
an inspection tour. He is en- route to
California
Mr. Mcpherson has spent the last two
weeks in inspecting the offices and bust
ness of the company in the kootenay dis
trict The Greenwood line, he says, is
being operated. A daily passenger train
has been established between Greenwood
and Robson. Business throughout the
whole Kootenay country is good.
Il can't say that the immigration bust
ness on our road is at its best he said.
During the last year We have handled a
large number of homeseekers TO Manitoba.
a good portion of them came from the
United States. having sold their land here
at good price and moved where land
was cheaper. We have also brought a
number TO Washington. We expect this
year will be a heavy one for homeseekers'
business.
Il have not been home since the report
ed signing of the noncommission paying
agreement. and my mail has not
reached me regularly, 1 know nothing
more than | have seen in the papers.
III the Southern Pacific has signed. | be-
lieve the agreement viii be maintained.
1t is different from all others, inasmuch
as IL has been made by the presidents.
Should it prove success, after a fair
trial. It will be a great saving in the ex-
pense accounts of railroads.
Il hardly believe that, with It's proving
a success any provision viii be made. TO
make up the loss sustained by ticket
pulling agents The roads will pay the
legitimate expense account of agents. but
probably no more. All roads being on the
same basis there will be no need for Civ
ing extra compensation to selling agents.
The expense attendant to securing bust
ness In the past will be done away with.
Like all other things, however, the plan
must be tried some time to judge of its
worth"
