Sumatra Natives for Centuries Car
ried on Warfare With Their
Conquerors, the Dutch.

Sumatra's war-decimated population
amounts to less than 100000 most
of which is not available for labor,
the island, therefore, barely beginning
to attract attention, despite Its riches
in natural resources. Sumatra is i'm
mense In area and between its differ
ent sections there is little inland COM
munication, that which exists being of
a treacherous and warlike character.
Much of the island remains unex-
plored Other parts such as the
whole of Achin, are still in state
of warfare, which seems destined to
end only with the eventual extermina-
ton of the resisting tribes.
The first hostilities Of the Achinese
date back to 1899, but for the last
forty years fighting has been continu-
GUS, costing more than 100000 lives in
the Achinese war alone. A guerrilla
warfare of surprises and ambushes
has been going on In the jungles, the
determined resistance Of the Achinese
continuing undiscouraged, although
their government has been deposed,
and all their towns and strategic po-
sitions occupied by Dutch troops.

With this weeks news from Little

few weeks, this has been faithfully !
attended to. We could perhaps have
done better, but we have at least |
tried to be fair, and now that we are
temporarily leaving the valley, the
correspondence passes to other hands
Now, dear readers, you know that
you have not helped with the news
as you should have done in times past
but do it now. Give the news the
least little bit helps. The Enterprise
will follow me this summer. and I
hope to see full column each week.
we have one of the very best conn.,
munities in Payette County and LET
others know it. 1t is up to you.
