is more confidence. When the people
have confidence the business of the
country goes ahead.
Mr.. Hill advocated a modification in
the plan for the organization of the
Central Reserve Association, which is
under consideration-with an author,
lied capitalization increase from $780,
100000 to $4OO,OOO,OOO. Each bank
holding stock in the organization
should have only one vote and no vote
for stock ownership; that there should
be no government directors on the ma.
tional board; that /the National Re.
serve Association should be permitted
to make loans to member banks on Sc
curity, consisting of first-class indus
trial corporation bonds.
He also advocated that the reserve
association should pay the Govern
ment interest on Government deposits
and that notes of the association
should not be taxed except after they
had been in circulation for sixty OF
for ninety days.

which are small mountains, whose
slopes form good land for coffee cul-
ture. About the shore groves of co
coanut are abundant. Copra, so far,
is the principal export and is handled
mostly by Japanese. The population
consists of mixed but strong race,
the Caucasian being largely intro
duced. The people number some
$4,000, two-thirds of whom live in the
capital, the rest in less than a dozen
villages. Almost everybody is en-,
gagged in farming and all are self
supporting. The hurricane or earth
quake is always a disturbing menace,
as both have so often visited them.
The harbor, which is an estuary
almost enclosed by coral reefs, lies
out some distance from the port Be-
tween the anchorage and the shore is
a wide area of shallow water or tide
flats which were readily passed over
by small craft only at high tide. A
channel for small craft has been
made by the navy, so that at all
stages of tide small boats and light
ers may pass between the port and
the anchorage. Agana, the capital,
is some five miles from the port and
is reached by a splendid road which
winds through a magnificent tropical
forest, which rests upon a narrow
shelf near the shore. The road is
bordered on each side by a success
sion of typical tropical huts among
the palms and other beautiful trees.
A water system has been installed,
and from Agana to the port is a pipe
line from which splendid water is
drawn along it's course by the people.

coffee and tropical fruits. The agri-
cultural experiment station has shown

The report of the acceptance Of the

is reliably stated that Yuan Shin Kai

to cash a personal grant of 100000

ton the regent agreed.
After an eventful career in interna-
tional relations under Iii Hung Chang
covering fifteen years, Yuan Shin Kai
on January ?, 1909, was dismissed, or
dered to vacate all his offices and re-
turn home. When the axe fell thus
he sent his family to the foreign
quarter in Tientsin and fled to the
same place Immediately after. The
prince regent, deprecating the effect
on the world of this event, and appre-
ciating Yuan Shih Kais alarm, sent
a special message to Tientsin to reas-
sure him. He returned via Pekin to
his family home at Wei-Hu-Fu, just
south Of the borders of the metropol-
itan province, in Honan. In three
days he had disappeared and in a

Hill discussed the entire financial
situation. He suggested that for the
purpose of borrowing money first-class
bonds and industrial securities should
be recognized as proper security for
loans by banks Members of the Com

now legalized should be included in
the plan. Hill cited an instance dur.

From the foregoing it is apparent
that, if a person, as soon as taken

The yellow fever mosquito is bred
principally in the neighborhood of

prints, etc. It is sheltered from the
sun in the shade of houses, trees,
