which could be sold at a profit Of $40

Our Cousins Of Guam.
But let Us look at the Guamites Of
today There is a good slice OF the old
ChamOrrO in them They have also
been mixed with the Islands about and
with the Spaniards The governors re-
ports say that the Spanish officers
who have ruled the country In the
past have intermarried with the native
women and that today the names OF
the upper crust include the family
names Of nearly every governor for
the last 100 years Guam has its 400,
and Il is harder for one born outside
that class to gain admittance to the
houses Of the Torreses, lIartinezes.
Calves or Diazes than for a gutter
snipe to enter the most select circles
of America
The upper crust has its own recep-
lions and balls. Its laws of etiquette
are strict and the women are almost
secluded Until recently the well to
do natives sent their children to Ma
Mia or Madrid to be educated The
girls are said to be good dancers, and
most Of them are able to play a little
on the plano.
It is this better class that owns
most OF the plantations on the island.
The men DO not work, but rent out
their ranches or employ laborers. 1t
is from them that the subordinate Of
ficials OF Guam are taken. The young
ladies' form part Of the official So
ciety. They attend balls given at the
governors palace, and are said TO be
pretty and vivaciOus Their dress
conslSss of full skirt Of fine muslin
or silk and zouaYe jacket OF deli
cately white embroidered material
with flowing sleeves. The people OF
the better class do not use the betel
nut nor do the women smoke. Since
the American occupation many have
adopted our style Of dress.
The Common People.
The common people are very much
like the masses Of the Filipinos They
go barefoot and wear their shirts out-
side their trousers. While at work
the shirt is often taken off and tie
trousers rolled to the hips. On sun

The Future of Guam.

And this brings me to a serious con-
dluon which VIII likely confront
Guam in the near future The public
works which Uncle sam has been car
rying on during the last nine years
have brought a great deal of money
into the island. During that time the
imports have exceeded the exports BY
more than half million dollars and
the gre ter part OF this money has
come rom the wages paid to the ma
uyes for the labor on the public
works.
As a result the people have had
more cash than ever before and the
prices OF living have risen one or two
thousand per cent The wants OF the
people have also increased. Formerly
they lived for the most part on the
taro, vans and bananas which they
raised themselves. They have now
become accustomed 70 the timed
meats and vegetables brought in from
Japan and America
All this has been paid for with Ia
Dor But now the most Of the public
work has been done The island is
Weu equipped with roads. Its harbors
nave been improved and the public
buildings have been erected. The big
JOBS must soon stop. and the people
must then 90 back to the land. where
they cannot make anything like what
they have done while labOring for
Uncle sam How this may be brought
about without trouble remains to be
seen.
