THE ISLAND OF GUAM
Becoming An Item of Considerable I'm
portance on the Map.

Agana, Guam, July %, via San Fran
cisco, Aug. ia board appointed by
the governor, consisting of Lieut.. r. S.
Douglas as chairman, G. d. Lehnukhl,
executive secretary, and the Rev. Padre
Jose PaloIno has been in session during
the greater part of the month, having
under adviSement the financial condi-
ton of the island, the salaries of insu-
lar officials. distribution of duties and
the desirable changes to be instituted
in the administration of the island af-
fairs.
Several changes under the recon-
mendation of this board. it is contemp-
lated. will soon be put into effect
Among others the disbanding of the in
sular artillery, now the only police in
the island, and the substitution there
for Of a suitable constabulary, refor-
nation of the courts of the island
whereby the supreme court becomes
the court of appeals, and is brought as
near to the jury system as the circum-
stances attending will permit, refor-
nation of the prison laws and Of pub
lie work performed by the prisoners;
changes in the accountability system
of the treasury and the extension of the
government apprentice and training
system.
Telephone communication was OPEN
ed, July 3, through from Agana to Su
ma, connecting the government Office
with the cable station. 1t is now pro-
posed to hasten connections with the
more remote and inaccessible places as
Agat. Merisee and Inerajan. A siren
uous effort IS also being made to extend
the roads of the island to the outlying
districts. Good progress has been made
during the past year and small sums
of money provided by Congress be-
came available on the first day of July,
which will permit further extension III
the immediate future. Wherever these
roads have been opened up during the
past year large area has been cleared
and put under cultivation. The main
difficulties in the past has been the lack
of facilities.
Installation of telegraphy has pro-
crossed rapidly during the last month
under the direction Of Lieut.. Geo. c.
Sweet and a corps Of electricians who
were sent out with the necessary mate
rial in the Solace.
On July 6, the construction of a
causeway from the mainland to the is
land of Cabras on which the govern
ment coal pile is situated, was begun.
This will vastly facilitate the convent
ence of supplying coal both to ships
and the naval station when completed.
