has been received from Consul Julius
D. Dreher of Tahiti:
OF the total population of the So
ciety Islands and dependencies, COM
posing the French colony Of Tahiti
numbering $1,000, more than $4,000
are Of the native race, a fine type OF
Polyneslans; about 1900 are French,
and about 1900 are OF IA other ma
tionalities, mainly British, Chinese and
Americans, ranking numerically in
the order named.
Nearly two-thirds OF the popula-
tion live in the Society Islands, the
group most advanced in civilization.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
hundred islands comprising the COL
ony are scattered over an area Of the
South seas extending 1900 miles from
north to south and 1900 miles from
east to west, the inhabitants OF most
OF them have had more or less con-
tact with civilized people for a GEN.
tury Various denominations have
churches in the principal settlements
in the larger islands.
The town OF Papute. which is the
seat OF the colonial government and
the commercial center Of the colony,
has a population of nearly 1000. Here
are large wholesale and retail stores,
two banks several hotels, four
schools. five churches, free library
of French books. a good hospital, a
philharmonic society. two social
clubs, chamber Of commerce, a tel
ephone system. and a semaphore sta
ton. The streets are swept and the
rubbish hauled off every week day.
The water system is abundantly sup
piled from a pure mountain stream.
The market, which is under the
supervision of a food inspector, is
supplied with an abundance of fresh
meats and a great variety of fish,
vegetables and fruits (including nuts,
about 40 kinds of fruit grow in Ia
hitD. Bread, milk and ice are deliv-
cred by carts daily.

NO BOOZE AT WESTON.
The Leader Says That the Normal
School Town Is Orderly.


The Weston Leader says of the sue
cess Of prohibition in that town:
Reports are circulated every now
and then about the enormous guam
tity Of "booze" guzzled in prohibition
towns, but Weston's experience is
quite the contrary.
There are no arrests, no drunken
ness, no disorder. Young men who
formerly made themselves conspicu-
Gus and obnoxious by getting drunk,
are now sober and decent and gentle
manly. Since 1t is no longer an easy
matter to acquire hilarious jag with
a bunch of boon companions. they
seem to have dismissed all thought of
their erstwhile thirst, unless a jaunt
across the state line brings them into
proximity with licensed booze en-
poriums.
And then they come back sober, de-
string to be sober in sober tswn.
Near beer is sold here, but It is genu-
inc near beer, and does not intoxicate.
People drink it openly as they would
lemonade, and not behind a screen,
and after a glass or two go on about
their business.

DEVELOPMENT,

From Prairie City to the Blue
Mountain springs at the head of the
John Day valley, distance of about
12 miles, can be seen almost one con-
tinuous field of oats, says the Blue
Mountain Eagle. Every ranch has
some acreage sown to oats and ad-
joining fields make one continuous
stretch.
The acreage is considerably greater
than any previous year and the yield
will be heavy. Considerable wheat
will also be harvested but the num-
ber of acres is considerable less this
year. The grain Is about ready to
harvest. Haying is just about over.

AGRICULTURE IN JAPAN.
Two and Three Crops Raised Annual
Iy From One Field.

Consul Hunter Sharp Of Kobe,
transmits the following review of ag-
rlcultural conditions in Japan, in
which he calls attention to the ma
tional obstacles that confront the ag-
riculturist, the aid extended to him
by the government, and the results
obtained from a very small acreage:
Japan has an area of 148,852
square miles, and, according to the
census Of 1906, a population of 49,
3O4,397. Sixty per cent of the peo,
pie are agrlculturlsts. and yet on ac-
count Of the mountainous nature OF
the country, only about one-sixth Of
the total area is under cultivation.
Efforts are being made to enlarge
the small, irregular lots into which
arabic land is divided; to rearrange
and straighten roads built for agri-
cultural purposes and waterways; to
put to profitable uses pieces Of land
which now lie waste among cultivated
fields; to improve land by irrigation;
and to promote the use of machinery
in agricultural pursuits.
Recent Investigations have been
made as to the possibilities OF con-
verting woodlands into rice fields by
utilizing the water of certain rivers,
and the scheme has been found feas-
ible. AS the result, 5000 acres of
land in the prefecture alone will be
taken up for cultivation in the near
future.
With the object Of facilitating the
supply Of capital for agricultural
purposes. the government in 1895,
established the Hypothec Bank Of
Japan, as we'll as the Agricultural
and Industrial banks.
The government, moreover estab-
lished experimental stations at To-
kyo and in certain provinces for the
purpose of making experiments in
the selection and supply of seeds and
also to make investiga-
tions relative to insect pests and ag-
ricultural implements.
The farm laborer works from sun
rise to sunset. Men receive II to %
cents, and women 10 to Is cents per
day, the employer paying for their
subsistence.
The value of farm land varies ac-
cording to proximity to market and
quality. The average value of rice |
fields is about $3.50 per tan (tan
equals O.2451 acre); and for uplands
$50 per tan. Taxes assessed on these
lands are: National tax, 51s per cent
Of the value of the land; perfectural
tax, 17ls cents for every so cents OF
the national tax; village tax, Az
cents for every so cents of the nation
al tax. Taxes for repairing roads and |
water privileges vary from so cents
10 81 per tan.

easter and Marion is evident.
President Wollenweber and Dl.
rector Staiger OF the local club saw
the Lancaster games and they con-
denim Harts work. II has been
charged that he was bought of
by Lancaster but this Is hardly
probable. No one would trust him
that far. 1t Is certain that he Is
afraid OF the Lancaster fans who
have n habit OF tossing umpires
iEt the drink when they do not
give everything to the home club.
Yet Lancaster fans laughed at
Iiart's work and many of them
admitted that two Lancaster VIC
tories were due to his one-sided
umpirlng. Marion played against
ten men In every game at Ian
caster and the tenth man had more
to do with the Digger defeats than
any one of the others. That man
was Hart.
Yet when Hart or any other
umpires comes here the home club
does not get tine better of the close
ones. Why? Because Marion fans
love the game. They are fair and
are not rowdies. The umpires know
that whatever they do Marion fans
will not seek revenge.
II might not be a bad thing to
have n vigilance committee at Webb
park, especially when Hart is here,

him his just deserts.

UMPIRE HART IS THE BIGGEST
JOKE IN OHIO STATE LEAGUE

President Robert Quinn of the
Ohio State league had Fred Wilson
up on the carpet at Columbus yes
terday through a complaint made
against him by Umpire Hart. he
who is there with the jolly talk
and handshakekk before the game
and who takes particular pleasure
in giving anything that is close to
the opponents of the Dlagers. Hart
did well in the io-nennsylvanla
league last year but he Is rotten
this year. lie has handed the Dig
gers lemon on the road every
time he has mt them and now
deliberately lied to get Wilson in
to trouble, 1t is said.
Wilson went 10 Columbus and
explained matters to President
Quinn. He was charged by Umpire
Hart with stating that Quinn sent
Hart 10 Newark for the express
purpose of robbjng the Diggers OF
the games there. Wilson branded
the statement as n dirty. malicious
lie. He said that he had never
made any such remark and IN the
presence of the league executive he
called Bob Hart a liar. Further
more he explained TO the president
The reason for his being put out
or the lgame. lie said that the
coaching hines were not properly
placed and he was standing where
the box should have been. Hart
ordred him back and Wilson re-
fused to go. Hart benched him.
Then the high minded" robber
who poses as am umpire-a person
who Is supposed to Judge Impartial
, ,ly--reported him TO President Quinn
as given above.
This Hart who took the trouble
to have Wilson brought up ON the
carpet is the one who umplred the
Lancaster-Marion game when the
Justus-Lotshaw incident occurred.
HIS report OF that occurrance to the
president was that the two bncame
mixed mp In a qllarrel and that
brth used their fists. He neglected
to tell the president that George
Fox was TO blame for the whole
affair. He did not tell that Lotshaw
