bird Is to be seen on the island; but
rich treasure has been handed over to
the use and ingenuity of men.
Though the island was German
owned, 1t was British enterprise that
began the phosphate industry, and
until the war the utmost harmony ex-

employees and the German admins

This phosphate industry comprises
settlement having many miles OF cleo

There are great public laundrles, ex-

Nauru island, although only 33 1-3
miles south Of the equator, Is one Of
the healthiest spots on earth, malaria
and other tropical ailments being I'M
known, and the white community is
one of the jolliest and happiest Of the
island world.
OF special interest are the natives Of
Nauru, some 1000 in all, ruled by a
native klng-a very remarkable man.
When In 1914 the British took over the
administration Of this island from the
Germans, their first care was to make
the condition of the natives more salts
factory than 1t had been; though they
had never been exploited by the phos-
phate industry. Under their king,
Oweida by name, they accepted gov
eminent having laws partly British
and partly native or tribal. They were
encouraged to clean up the island. i'm
prove the coconut plantations, and to
work for good wages in the phosphate
fields. This they have done with the
result that they are happy and con-
tented race, enjoying perfect health
and having every comfort native peo-
pie can desire. Within the last three
months British administration has
given place to Australian, but the same
excellent regime is being maintained.
The Nauruans are noted for their
good manners, the smallest child bow
ing to a stranger with the utmost
grace and wishing, in greeting, every
blessing that one kind heart can de-
sire for another. The Nauru women
are accounted by many travellers the
handsOmest, best.hgured women in the
Pacific, and certainly in their festive
and dance dresses they show dis
tinction in taste and designs which is
truly remarkable. Their dances are
clever and not at all mOnotonous.
while their singing and chanting have
real melody.
Every native man and boy, and a
good many young women, possess

This dimlnutlve island has 5000 acres
and is famous for its valuable deposits
OF the highest grade Of phosphate of
lme-a magic soil fertilizer.
Thirty years ago Nauru was an island
40 one thought much about, as no one
realized the immense wealth that lay
deep and snug among the coral pima
cles Of the low-set hills In the center of
the island. American whalers would
call In those days for water and pump
kins, and the natives then got the repu-
tation of being so hospltable that the
IL
American whaling activities ceased In
the South Pacific, few ships ever
touched at Nauru. Then came the
Germans, who took possession of the
island and named 1t Nauru. But even
the Germans were not aware of the
great value Of the island.
One day a British vessel put in for
supplies of water. On board was an
expert in phosphate and guano. This
man, roaming about the hills, soon
formed an opinion of Nauru which was
to change II from an island of no. con-
sequence into a verltable treasure
house of one Of the most needed acces-
sories, assuring the harvests of the
agricultural world. To make a long
story short one, In two years time
a vast industry was organized with
every modern appliance of machinery
and every comfort and convenience for
a large scientific and clerical staff, and
hundreds of Chinese and natives from
other South Pacific Islands were busIly
engaged digging and blasting out in
thousands Of tons every month the
precious phosphate. Ships came from
every country In the world to carry
away the wonderful fertilizer; thou
sands of tons a month grew to hun
dreds Of thousands Of tons a year, and
still the hills of the tiny island look
as II they have only been scratched.
Both British and German experts have
estimated there are nearly fifty million
tons of the phosphate. and that many
I generations will come and go before
Nauru is exhausted.

.COASTWISE SERVICE.
ESTABLISHED HERE
Negotiations Which Have Continued
For Several Months Have Resulted
In Connection With Pensacola and
New York

Regular coastwise service between
Pensacola and New York is now an
established fact, according to advices
received this morning from j. B. Nor
row, Industrial Commissioner OF the
chamber of commerce.
The establishment of this service by
the Transmarine Steamship Lines has
been under negotiation for several
months. Mr.. w. C. Mueller, vice-presi-
dent of the Transmarine Corporation
was in Pensacola recently, looking
over the situation and Mr.. Morrow
has ben in New York for the past
week in conference with the officials
of the corporation in an endeavor to
bring this service to Pensacola.
The result of these conferences is
that the Transmarine people have
definitely agreed to establish regular
monthly sailings between Pensacola
and Port Newark, N. j.. from which all
New York deliveries can readily be
made. The first sailing is announced
for August 18th, and regular monthly
service will be maintained Thereafter.
All the details have not as yet been
worked out but Mr. Joseph Scott, gen.
eral manager of the Transmarine Cor
poratIon expects to come to Pensacola
within the next week to work out
these details, establish the local agen-
cv snd arrange other matte:S neces-
sary in connection with this 50 wee.
This service will mean great deal
to Pensacola in the way of reduced
transpo tation charges. 1t will permit
the clippers of this territory to rfach
tn markets of New York and tie
North Atlantic which they are new IN
able to reach because of prohiblt1Ve
freight rates, and it will give the
buyers in this territory addltlonal
markets in which to buy. The saving
in Transportation charges will be at
least 40 per cent as compared with the
charges at present in effect by all rail-
and rail-and-water routes.
The Transmarine Corporation also
operates barge service between their
terminals at Port Network and points
reached by rivers and canals in New
York and New England; and through
their connections they also PROVIDE
through water service between Fort
Newark and all the principal ports on
the Great Lakes. The territory, opened
up to Pensacola, is therefore enor-
mously increased by means OF this
new service.
The Transmarine Corporation is
among the largest in the country oper-
ating coastwise service. Two or their
ships the Italia" and the "Suboatco'
recently carried full cargoes from
Pensacola to the North Atlantic.
Mr.. Morrow will probably return to
Pensacola on Friday and upon his re-
turn will be glad to furnish further
details of this service to any who are
interested.

I could never get a good nights sleep
