GILBERT ISLANDS BOAST
OF EXCELLENT HOUSES
Crime Practically Unknown in
the EIlice Group

There is excellent housing accommo-
dation on almost all the islands of the
Gilbert group, according to the West
minister Gazette. A system of extraor-
dinary uniformity has been developed
and the best types of native houses
have been finally evolved after a Sc
ries of experiments which may have
been somewhat exasperating to the
natives, but which have undoubtedly
resulted in their general good. The
villages are kept In admirable order
and the roads are scrupulously clean.
Hospitals are established on all islands
and all natives suffering from un-
slightly sores are glad to take up their
residence there. Altogether the Gill
bert islanders seem to have much to
be thankful for.
Matters on the Ellice group appear
to be equally favorable. The adnira BILE
character of the Ellice islander is
shown by the almost total absence of
crime in these rarely visited islands,
and for this characteristic of the
people less credit, it is said has been
given to the London missionary So
ciety and to its Samoan teachers than
they have deserved. 1t is quite true
that in the earlier days of the pro-
tectorate these Samoans were often
found to be interfering with the native
government.

COLD is WELCOMED

Fruit Growers Say That Early
FrOsts Will insure Good
Crops This Year
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

AUBURN. Feb 6.-Fruit growers are
rejoicing at the cold weather which has
prevailed in the valley this winter. and
believe that it means big crops this
summer. The heavy frOsts of the last
few weeks have kept back the buds on
the fruit trees until there is now little
danget of the crops being killed when
the buds do come out.
In many former years warm weather
in the middle of the winter has brought
out the buds. and then heavy frosts
during March or April have killed the
fruit causing heavy losses.
Because of the heavy frosts during
January and so far this month fruie
growers do not expect many heavy
frOsts during March and April. when
the buds begin 20 make their Appears

have a late season than lose their fruis
