WAVE OF PROSPERITY HAS
 AT LAST STRUCK PACIFIC

The prosperity which struck the year and has since gradually been working the continent has at last reached the Pacific coast and Seattle Portland and San Francisco the of the greatest boom in their histories, according George M Esery, who yesterday rived in CorCova on the Mariposa.
 ''Money made in the east on liberal war contracts seeking invesmen said Estery 'and place could be found which offered better chance for money than in the west Seattle and the Northwest had been through long period of depresson and result property values low The who made the easy money the naturally turned there to invest their money.
 ''Las fall when passed through Seattle there gen cra air of depression in the city. This spring however, every
 ing different Lumber camps and sawmls are working capacity the waterfront is crowded with shipping and the whole city is bustng with new life.
 ''As in other parts of the country it impossible tract for vessel of any size with assurance that 1t will be de vered within the next year. One firm of ship builders have laid the kccs for 1000 ton steamships. The vessels well advanced in the building, yet the have been offered charter for two years at $lOO000 per month for each of the vessels.
 and is said that before the end of the year property will command prices before equalled in Seattle
 'The high price of copper for the past year said Esery, lis responsible for the opening of many mines the Pacific coast which heretofore have been neglected too low grade O work a profit.
 Several mines fifty and sixty miles away from transpor aon which will between five and six per copper being developed by big mining companies In order to get
 this copper the market is necessary to build railways
 ''The surplus of cheap money which is finding its the coast will probably greatly help Alaska many millions of dollars made during the past year is seeking investment, and any with mining proposition which will stand close investigation should have difficulty in finding money to develop it."
 Estey is enthusiastic the mining properties which he has acquired in southern Oregon This country he asserts of the greatest hydraulic districts in the world insofar the gold is concerned The difficulty the miner encounters in inadequate supply of water.
 Like other parts the coast that district also is exper encng great boom When he arrived Grants Pass last fall the city practically dead but his return this fall difficult to find accommodation at the hotels.

WILLIAMS MEETS
PEOPLE OF L|HUE

At the request of DR.. Robert Day
Williams a number of persons in
terested in the educational and eco-
nomic problems of the Islands
gathered at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. s. w. Wilcox on Sunday af-
tcrnoon to advise with him as to
how the schools of the Mid-Pacific
Institute might best meet these
problems.
After q brief statement of the
aims and purposes of these schools,
and the lines of endeavor which
had been established he called for
suggestions as to what kind of an
education they ought to give the
young people in order to make them
efficient and useful and thus fit
them best for their life work.
After some little hesitation and
some little "priming," the factors
of debate were awakened and some
very live discussion followed, inter-
spersed with CLEANS of caustic wit
and repartee, which made it a
most enjoyable occasion. Just how
much information, or benefit, DR..
Williams got out of it may he q
question, but his audience got q
great deal, and many expressed The
wish that such conferences might
come often.
On the whole the drift of opinion
was toward more practical agricul.
tural training, with the assurance
that our future lay in that direction
and that rich prizes were in stor,
for any boy who would familiarist
himself with the sugar business
and devote himself to it with intel
ligence and industry; that, nov
at any rate, the prospects were mucl
more promising in agricultural thar
in commercial pursuits. 1t was time
to call halt on turning out book
keepers and typewriters, who hateC
most of all to soil their hands, anC
give the island, for a while any
way, farmers and artisans.
