while about $2.000.000 has been spent
in defending the boundary line. This
line runs along the third mountain
range, and there are five or six men
in each guardhouse. The houses were
formerly rooted With thatch, but the
savages set them on fire with burning
arrows, and they are now covered with
sod. The abOrigineS have firearms and

charge which has previously been
made by men engaged in the liquor
traffic that John j. Rockefeller is
financing the anti-salOOn movement,
was repeated today by VIM. F. Names,
president Of the Rhode Island Retail
Liquor Dealers Association, in cir
cular addressed to all retail liquor
dealers in New England. The circu-
lar invites the dealers to attend a
meeting in this city on Sunday next
for the purpose Of discussing ways
and means of meeting the public op-
position to the saloons. Mr.. Maines
says:
THE anti-salOn agitation is largely
artificial and is financed by John D.
Rockefeller for the purpose Of giving
the public something to think about
that will take it's mind off the anti
trust agitation"

guage school at Taipeh in order to
teach Japanese to the natives and the
native languages to the Japanese. This
school has a normal branch which is
training Japanese teachers for the ma
tive primary schools. 1t has a Ian
guage branch where students are
trained for the civil service. We have
railway and telegraph sections. We
have also some schools for Japanese
children and some for native girls. We
have established primary schools for
native children all over the island AND
they are largely attended.
What Formosa Costs Japan.
rs Japan spending much money on
Formosa 2"
t Not now,'' replied Baron Goto.
The island is self-suppOrting. 1t is
not only paying all of its running eX-
penses but it has a surplus every year
which We can devote to public i'm
provement. We intend to develop tho
island as much as we can and to spend
in Formosa the taxes collected there.
In addition to what [ have mentioned
we have already established a system
of lighthouses about the coasts, we
have improved the principal harbOrS.
have dug sewers and canals in the
chief cities and have established
eleven hospitals and schools for train
ing native physicians. The dredging
of the Kelung harbor alone cost one
million dollars and we have other
works under way and in contempla
tion which require large expenditures.
Altogether the island is materially i'm
proving under our management.
Controlling tl,c Head Hunters.
AS I close this interview | see q
statement in the Taiyo, Japanese
newspaper. made by Mr.. lmai, one
of the chief Form Osan officials, con-
cerning the head hunters. He says
] tNf11,
the land AID tIat they numlSer one
hundred thousand. There are nine
tribes of them, divided up into thou
sands Of clans or families. each OF
which is independent. The most vicious
Of the tribes is the Atayai This tribe
still practices head hunting. It's mem
bers sally forth upon the people of
| the lowlands whenever they can break
through the lines and bring back
head
MIR. lmai says that they use the hu-
man head IS a sacrificial Offering at
the time of sowing millet, and that in
maria ge the would-be bride seeks the
man who has taken the most heads.
! Indeed, the possession OF human heads
means influence, wealth and authority
for the owner. This man says that
the saVages do not like the Chinese,
and that the head-hunting custom
originated largely because the Chinese
have overrun the island and taken the
best lands. The SaVageS were glad to
see the Japanese come in, and some OF
the tribes are quite dOcile Schools
have been established among them and
men from certain tribes have visited
Japan.
Fighting the Natives.
Altogether, It is doubtful whether
Tapan has lost more men in handling
her saVageS than we have lost with
, ours at the Philippines. Since 1906
there have been fourteen big fights
and several thousand skirmishes. In
