AS Great Britain has sent her drill
tered possessions. and, with great skill
and greater patience, recruited large
bodies of native troops, taught them
! all the details of modern soldering,
model, and gradually beaten them in
! to shape as effective fighting units,
so just now the United States is en-
gagged in a similar interesting task in
Samoa. On the island of Tutuila, one
of Uncle Sans South Sea possessions
a company of native soldiers, known
as the Fftafita Guard, has been re-
cruited, equipped, and drilled, and is
already considered a very successful
experiment in adaptation. The men
have proven themselves quick to
learn, they are Dsober and generally
good natured, and, above all, they
possess that first requisite of the SOL
dier-obedence.
The guard was organized by Cap
tain Benjamin F. Tilley. U. S. N, who
was the first commandant of the
American naval station and coaling-
port at Tutuila. The name "F'itafita,"
by the way, means courageous" in
the Samoan language. and was given
to the guard as a sort of incentive.
After the company was recruited it
was given into the care of Lieutenant
Claude C. Bloch, of the navy. who
taught the body of raw Samoan ma
tives the drill manual and familiar
lied them with the use of the new
high-power rifle which is carried by
the regulars in the United States.
Although the Samoans on Tutuila
evinced from the beginning a keen
and showed much pride in the fact
that they had been selected to form
a native guard, the burden of making
capable military men of them was far
required, and the drills were probably
much less of task to the men than
to their drillmasters. The men had to
be handled with the greatest care-in
fact, in such fashion ais not to let them
know they We're being handled. 1t
was in a way, like a game with a
serious side, this side being kept the
offside. In time the earnest meaning
of the game became apparent to the
Samoans, and it was in this moment
of realization and understanding that
they became soldiers.
Before the island of Tutuila became
possession of the United States, by
virtue of the tripartite treaty with |
Great Britain and Germany in 1899, |
the country was in a state of unceas-
ing turmoil. The Samoan is quick to |
resent an insult, and his temper kept |
him constantly in hot water with his

money as the guardsman viii lend to
him. As generosity is one of the char
acteristics of the Samoan, the import

what he wishes. In return for the
loan the relative brings in presents of
taro, bread-feuit, green bananas, and
fish, which the guardsman accepts. as

Tutuila, which has an area of fifty
four square miles and $500 inhabitants.
possesses in Pago-Pago the most val
liable harbor in the south Pacific
Ocean. OF it ex-Chief Justice Cham
bers of Samoa has said: THE harbor
OF Pago-Pago could hold the entire
naval force of the United States, and
is so perfectly arranged that only two
vessels can enter it at the same time.

and hopes eventually to make it's ca
pacity 10000 tons. so that American
warships viii always md there an
ample supply for their bunkers.
AT the time that Tutuila was coded
to the United States the little neigh
boring islands of Tau, Olesinga, and
Ofu were also ceded. The Samoan
group comprises fourteen islands,
which lie in straight line from San
Francisco to Auckland, New Zealand,
and are about 1000 miles from San
Francisco and 1900 miles from Manila.
All the islands of the group, save those
owned by the United States, are gov
erned by Germany.
Tutuila is not at present important
commercially, but is held to be highly
valuable in its relation to the COM

neighbors and with members of other
tribes. The result was that Tutuila
knew very little of the meaning of
peace. One of the first things the
United States officials did when they
entered upon the work Of improving
conditions on the island was to obtain
from the natives practically all Of
their firearms. To accomplish this the
government thoughtfully offered to
each warrior a sum of money very
much in excess of the value of his rifle
or pistol, and for many days the Sa-
means journeyed to the naval station,
surrendered their arms, and went
away well pleased with the amounts
they received in exchange.
The hereditary and highly priced
weapon of the Samoan of Tutuila was
the "heading-knife,' murderous af-
fair of hard wood, heavy, and some
times fitted with a jagged edge of
sharks teeth. 1t often bore sharp
hook at it's end. When the trader
came to Tutuila he brought with him,
much to the delight of the native,
special kind of knife manufactured in
Europe. This was shipped to Tutuila
ip large quantities, and soon all the
Tutuilan men who could afford them
armed themselves cIItn- 40 loi lhC
spear, it had rather an Insignificant
place in the Samoan armory, and the
bow and arrow, common to many of
the Polynesian tribes, and often the
principal weapon, We're quite unknown
in recent years. After the traders with
their knives made in Europe" came
the traders with cheap firearms, which
the Tutuilans bought with great Gag
erness and at grotesque prices. The
mortality records show that these
firearms were almost equally danger
Gus to those who carried them as to
those at whom they were fired.
These were the cheap and uncertain
firearms which the United States Off
Gals gathered in when the high price
was offered The next step in the
process now begun was the promulga-
ton of an order regulating the impor-
tation of firearms to Tutuila, and
placing a tax upon them. Peace soon
came TO the island. and when it was
assured Captain Tilley gathered a
number of the most robust, response
Bile, and desirable men of the island,
mainly the sons of the numerous
chiefs and these We're the nucleus of

THE HOME OF
THE Big APPLES

"The Fruit Colony" the home Of
the Yellow Newtown and the Spitzen-
berg, has been plated out in small
tracts and placed on the market by
r. d. Cameron, four miles from White
Salmon and three miles from the I'm
derwood landing Mr.. Camreon has
long been resident of Washington.
Twenty-Five years ago he crossed the
Columbia, and with keen foresight
selected White Salmon as his future
home. He purchased the land that is
now the town site of White Salmon (;
selling out, he went to his present
site and established Cameron's addi-
tion. Mr.. Cameron has 600 acres OF
fine land on his home place and 1900
acres of heavy timber land on the
mountain slope. For the past eleven
wears he has been experimenting and
has convinced himself and all others
that his land is the home of the New
town and the Spitzenberg apples. The
soil is that rich red loom, and every
expert who has made the test pro
nounces it to be the best that the
Washington side has One OF the
strong cards and features Of the soil
is that it is ten days earlier than other
sections when it comes to small fruit.
Mr., Cameron has always taken keen
interest in educational matters, and
being the father of a large family, he
has striven to make the school one of
the best in Washington. That was the
main reason, no doubt, that prompted
him to try and colonize and get more
people interested in the location, SO
he threw on the market in small
tracts, $50 acres of his fine land.
The Easterner and all others, for
that matter, who may be of small
means, will find just the place here.

REAL ESTATE FIRMS
WONDERFUL SUCCESS

For many years White Salmon laid
dormant and all who owned property
in that vicinity were discouraged over
the inactivity in real estate. About
year ago, the White Salmon Land
company WAS organized, by J.C. Mac
Innes and r. Field. Mr.. Machines had
long been resident Of Klickitat
county, for many years at Golden
dale. He had been in the wheat
country and soon realized that the
White Salmon valley was the home of
tho fruit. lie had watched Hood
River valley and was convinced that
the White Salmon valley was earlier
by ten days than the valley across the
river He invested in real estate and
he soon had things moving.
Mr.. Machines Is Yankee, and when
he came west was completely taken

ty. He has taken an active interest

MAKES GOOD SHOWING

Strawberry growers of White Sal
mon are happy over the splendid
showing their fruit union has made
for the first year. While all but a
few of the returns on the berry ship
ments have been received by Manager
Ross, he is able to say that the gener-
al average will be very close of - per
crate The total number of crates
shipped was 689l.
The returns are most gratifying to
the ranchers. There we're many who
would have been content with 81. %
per crate. The manner in which the
White Salmon Fruit Growers union
has been conducted has been highly
satisfactory.
The officers of the union are A. H.
