MARSHALL ISLANDS: NEW
JAPANESE TERRITORY

The Marshall islands, one Of the
Pacific archipelagoes formerly owned
by Germany, aud over which Japan
has been given a mandate by the
League Of Nations. practically form a
barrier between the Hawaiian islands,
on the east, and Guam and the Philip.
pines to the west.
The two chains Of curiously shaped
atolls, or coral islands consisting Of
low.lying coral reefs encircling la
goons. known as the Marshall group,
lie a little South Of the center Of an
imaginary line connecting Hawaii,
Guam and the Philippines.
Guam. Samoa and Honolulu form a
triangle Of trade routes, with Its sides
not penetrated by important steamship
lines. Within this isolnted Pacific tri-
angle are the Marshall islands.
Before the war Sydney was reached
by steamer, a voyage Of more than
5000 miles. The only other method Of
egress was steamer to Ponape
which connected with French line
to Singapore.
Like two loosely strung chains of
jewels, the islands stretch from north
west to southeast. each with Its Ia
go0n setting encased by a strangely
shaped circlet Of coral, some like tri.
angles. harps and stlrrups, and one
outlining bulls head with Its horns.

In teaching them ways to live more
easily civilization robbed them Of that
boldness and adventure which made
them the hardest OF the Microneasian
peoples. Many Of the young died Of
tuberculosis.
SkilKul and fearless navigators. the
natives used bread-tree wood to make
sailing canoes In which they would
voyage for months. They devised
charts, made Of sticks. showing the
locations Of islands and the directions
Of prevailing winds.
Ancestor worship was their predomi
nant religious sentiment. With peti.
tions and gifts they worshlped this
departed whose spirits were supposed
to return to earth in certain palm
trees which they set of in stone en-
closures. Birds and fishes sometimes
embodied these spirits. they believed,
and thus certain species became ta-
boo.
Homes Of the natives were not pre-
tenfious. Floors were raised above
the ground to escape the rats. and
thatclled roofs covered the c0mbina-
lion house and storage room. /.
The two island groups are known a.
the Ratak and Ralik chains. Their
entire area Is not more than 100
square miles; their native population
before the war was 1900. with fewer
thun 800 foreigners. The seat Of Ger.
man government was on Jaluit and the
most populous island Is Majeru, with
but 1900 persons.
Other explorers had touched at the
islands but they, with the Gilbert
group. took their names from Cap.
tains Marshall and Gilbert who ex.
plored them in 1888. The Germans
annexed the islands In 1885.

Destroy Predatory Animals

according to information sent
out by the state department of agri-
culture, Idaho has paid to the fed
eral government during the past
fiscal year. through the Bureau of
Internal Revenue, the sum of $4,-
963 600. 1t is estimated that the
war tax paid by the government
on carload shipments OF. farm pro-
ducts from this state will aggregate
not less than S250,00O. The state
has also paid the fede raj government
tor the use of our forest reserve for
the past year, half a mllon 6Pdol-
lars. The total of these three pay
ments being S5,7l3,000.
In giving these estimates the state
department of agriculture mentions
that a part of these large sums is
used to maintain 400 men who de-
vote their time to eXterminatlng
predatory animals. A force of
these hunters is kept constantly in
the field for the purpose of wlplng
out these varmints.
The bureau of biological survey
states that the average destruction
by predatory animals is estimated
to De for each wolf and mountain
lion, 81, 900 worth OF stock annually,
each coyote and bobcat, $50 worth;
and each stock-klIllng bear, $500
worth. The bureau also gives in
stances where zone wolf took toll
of nearly $1,000 worth of cattle in
one year" and again 2 wolves killed
II Sheep but the bureau did not
tell just how they arrived at these
facts.>
The bureau goes on to report that
during the past five years the fed
eral government estimates the cost
OF this five year campaign at six
million dollars. From the stand
point of the biological survey they
would credit on this amount the
proceeds for the furs taken, which
is set, down at $24O, ,423.63. Accord
ing to these general estimates it has
cost the federal government $4,000
tor each animal killed.
During the same period under the
bounty system at a cost of some
thing less than $500 per head, a
total of ll3,5lS ANIMALS have been
destroyed IN the state.

Rev. Mort Will Leave

Rev. Howard w. Mort was tend
cred the pastorate OF the First
Methodist Church at Oakesdale,
Wash, last week by the district
superintendent. The offer was ac-
cepted by Mr.. Mort, as he believed
the new position presented greater
possibilities for advancement both
for himself and his work. The
offer of the Oakesdale church came
to Mr.. Mort entirely unsolicited
and may be taken as compliment
for the splendid work he has done
here during the past year.
Mr.. Mort expects to leave Kend-
rick about the middle of next week
to take up the work IN his newsield.
Mrs. Mort Will probably remain at
least until after the holidays, to
finish her term as teacher OF the 7th
and Sth grades in the local schools.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mort have made a
host of warm friends in Kendrick
during their short stay here. and
while they will be extremely sorry
to see them leave kendrick, their
friendship and best wishes will fol-
low them in their work at Oakes-
dale.

manufacture butter out of anything
but cream.
The production of cream brings
the farmer cash twice a month,
which IN these credit days and a loss
in other lines of farming. is pretty
handy.
This creamery ought to be work
ing, and If it is to succeed it must
have the support of the farmers. If
1t fails for lack of support and goes
out of business for that reason, it
will become nothing more than an
embarrassing reminder of the mis-
taken enthusiasm of its promoters.
We hope the day will soon come
when every farm in this community
will have its silo and its herd OF
dairy cows and be sending It's quota
of cream to the creamery.
This would beat owning stock in
the concern and then not helping &c
furnish the material it must have
to work on.
Then if the plant does not run al
a profit, or at least pay its way, tine
cause will be some other beside:
the lack of raw material.
