the Officers Club the same hospi-
tally is extended.
Besides the monthly visit of the
transport, two small Japanese
schooners touch here each month,
bringing articles in trade for CO.
pra or dried cocoanut.
Occasionally a foreign warship
drops anchor at Guam for a day or
so, bringing breath from the
outside world, and each day a lit
tie of the most important news of
the world is received by cable and
posted in the Officers club.
The station ship Supply" takes
half of the official contingent on

months.
If one wishes to go back to the
states, the route Is via the month

then back via Japan, Honolulu,

ing property interests in Guam,
makes his heme there.
Among the natives there are no
doctors, and only three lawyers.
The highest ambition of the ma
jority of the natives is to become
an employe of the government;
the social distinction so conferred
more than compensates for the
small salary received.
There are only a dozen Ameri-
can women in the island, the
wives of the island employees.
1t is a lonely life with mail but
once a month, but otherwise all
seem to enjoy 1t. There are horse
back parties, moonlight bathing
in the coral coves, tennis, bridge,
band concerts and dances. The
governors dances, given every
two weeks, are probably the only
occasions in navy life, where COM
missioned officers and their fam
lilies dances with the warrant and
petty officers and theirs.
Mail is brought in once a month
by the army transport on its way
to the Philippines; its coming is
a great event.
If the passengers are allowed
to go ashore-frequently they are

the people to the capital, five
miles away, to visit the governor.

ISLAND OF GUAM, Feb. 26.-
In mid-Paeific, lies Guam. one of
Uncle Sans oriental possessions.
1t is small. containing only 200
square miles. Its 10000 inhabi-
tants are a primitive people with
little education. There are now
twelve public schools on the island
the instruction being entirely In
English, with compulsory educa-
ton between the ages of seven
and thirteen. Some of the teach
|ers are natives, young men and
women who have acquired a rudi-
mentary education under the few
American teachers there in the
early days. The rest are young
American men, employees of the
navy department. On every side
English is heard, comparatively
few of the younger generation un-
derstanding Spanish. There Is
one high school, located in the
capital, Agana, but the studies
correspond to those taught In the
higher grade sof American gram
mar schools.
The governor is always a cap
tain of the United States navy;
with him are two companies of
marines. These. with the colony
at the cable station, and few
foreigners, bringing the total num-
Der of white people to less than
three hundred.
During the Spanish-American
war this island had no cable, and
was so isolated that its inhabi-
tants did not know there was a
war until an American warship
appeared off its coast, and began
bombarding the little fort. Cap

Get, because TO Earn Ii the In
dian Must Work, and There Is
No Work.
Before the invasion by the white
man Alaska was pretty good
place for the Indian. He lived
well. He had plenty of caribou
and salmon and his traps yielded
him many valuable skins during al
season. He might build his carl
bou fence" and construct his fish
ing traps as he saw fit and he was
allowed to take care of himself as
was intended in the first place.
When We found him he was ably
caring for his simple wants in a.
land of plenty.
Today there is probably no other
race in the world so pitifully help
less and degenerate as the Alas
kan Indian. He may not make his
living as he did in the days gone
by. There Is no niche for him to-
fill in the present economy of the
land-his land. The traditions of
his forefathers are ground Under
foot. He is a pariah in his own
land. He has been cheated, lied
to, debauched and degenerated
until there is but a handful of the
once thriving race left and this
handful is slowing dying of starva-
ton. disease and exposure.
How does he live, or. better.
how does he exist? 1t canont r5
said that he is living.
During the salmon season both
male and female either work in
the canneries at the lowest kind
of work-the only kind for which
they are fitted-or fish for them
selves that they may live through
the winter.
Between the advance of civiliza-
ton, which has driven the game
out, and the game laws laid down
by the government, the matter of
fresh meat has become question
of no little magnitude. 1t is but
seldom that the native is FORUM
ate enough to get this.
A little farming is done, but
under such conditions that 1t
amounts to practically nothing.
He has no implements and the In
dian is but poor farmer at best.
The matter of winter sustenance
then is reduced to the salmon
catch in the spring. If there is a
bad year, famine, with all it's ma
lignant accomplishments, follows.
His best is meagre to the point Of
privation.
But, you say, doesn't the gov
eminent care for the starving and
destitute natives?
Assuredly. Congress annually
Lays, aside a certain amount of
money to care for the Alaskan
Indian. 1t has done its duty. There
fore, they sit SNUG and satisfied
with conscience at rest, while the
Indian starves in his howell In the
North.
The appropriation is large
enough, but, the Indian does not
get IL.
Under present government he is
not entitled to it unless he works.
And there is nothing for him to

90.
Does it look reasonable that any
man will starve to death when he
can get food by working?
1t is a blotch upon the fair name
of a nation that it will allow its
wards to die of disease, exposure
and starvation in a land of plenty
their own land-because of a
theory or indifference or down
right ignorance.

Mr. Miner has in National City hardware and furniture store. En route Mir. Doyle will stop in Los Angeles a few days and visit with his sister, Mrs. Mcdonald, who is residing now in that city.

Nogales Water Company Removes Obstacle Interposed to Issuance
 of Water Bonds.

Thursday there was f' ed with u clerk of the district court a stipulation signed by Selim NJ. Franklin, attorney for plaintiff and w. A. O'Connor, counsel for de- fendant, in the case entitled The Nogales Water Company, a cor poration, vs. The Town of Nogales, 2 municipal corporation" by the terms of which stipulation the complaint, which prayed for an injunction against issue of the bonds was withdrawn, removing the obstacle that the suit had rais- ed to the proposed issue of the bonds.
 Later in the day counsel for the Town Board, W. A. OCOnnor Esq, applied for and received a certi6- cate from the clerk to the effect that there is pending no suit af- fectlng the validity Of either the water or the sewer bonds voted by the people of Nogales recently.
 With dismissal of this suit the sale of the bonds is assured, and the money will be paid into the town treasury shortly. Then the deal proposed for purchase of the Water Company's plant will be consummated and construction of a pumping plant on the river and pipe line from that plant to con- meet will be taken in hand.

Saturday last announcement was made that the peace envoy oi the MaderO government to the Ya- quis-General B. J. Viljoen-had arranged a treaty with the Indians which it is believed will result in lasting and permanent peace, a consummalion desired greatly.
 Under the terms of the treaty the Yaquis are to be given lands near Medano, at the mouth of the Taqui, river, where they are to re- pair and make their homes under administration of their own local self government. The lands they are to occupy to suit themselves, and they are not to be annoyed by proximity of any other people. outset the government will pro- vide the Indians with supplies, clothing, seed and implements for cultivation of the soil.

Struggled on'um.

When the Pullman sleeping car Lusitania, which passed Nogales Friday morning of last week, reached Los Angeles about noon of Saturday, the porter was arrested by the United States authorities on charge of smuggling, and there were seized fifty tins of opium he had secreted in the car at Maza- tan and got safely across the line, it having been permitted to pass here unnoticed with an expectancy of catching the parties to whom the porter was to deliver it at the end of his route, which was done. The shipment seized is valued at about 5000, and it is said the porter was promised 8 goodly "rakeoff" for getting the dope" through to Los Angeles. Instead of that he faces long term of Imprisonment. There seems to be an organized ring of opium snug glers down the coast, working in all kinds of ways to get their opium through into the United States. On the very day of the seizure at los Angeles of the fifty tins that were in the Pullman Lusitania from Mazatlan, the captain of the American-Hawaiian freight steamship Nebraska, from Salina Cruz, put into San Diego, and there the Captain reported that a few days out from port he discovered and threw overheard fifty-four tins which had been entrusted to the cook and steward of the vessel to land at their port of destination. The two men are said to have divulged the names of those to whom they had been hired to deliver their Contraband, and arrests are expected to follow.

 "Unless some action is taken by the new board of supervisors or by the superior court, it now appears likely that Constable Tom Mills will retain office in spite of the fact that Joe Ybarra was given majority of seven votes in the re- cent election, and that Justice O.

 "Advices received from Phoeu state that in the official canvass the capitol building, no count is being made of he precinct ballots, since no election of precinct officers was called in Governor Sloan'5 proclamation. This being the case, 1t is stated that the present precinct officers will continue in office un- less they choose 10 resign. In that event the appointive power is believed to rest with the board of supervisors who may appoint whomsoever they choose to hold office during the unexpired term"
