Dreher of Tahiti: Of the total population of the So ciety Islands and dependencies, .com posing the French colony of Tahiti, numbering 31,000, more than 27,000 are of the native race, a fine type of Polynesians; about 2200 are French, and about 1500 are of 14 other na tionalities, mainly British, Chinese and Americans, ranking numerically In the order named. Nearly two-thirds of the popula tion live in the Society Islands, the group most advanced In civilization. Notwithstanding the fact that the hundred Islands comprising the col ony are scattered over an area of the South seas extending 1300 miles from north to south and 1(00 miles from east to west, the Inhabitants of most of them 'have had more or less con tact with civilized people for a cen tury. Various denominations have churches In the principal settlements in the larger Islands. The town of Papule, which Is the seat of the colonial government and the commercial center of the colony, has a population of nearly 4000. Here are large wholesale and retail stores, two banks, ' several hotels, four schools, five churches, a free library of French books, a good hospital, a philharmonic society, two social clubs, a chamber of commerce, a tel ephone system, and a semaphore sta tlon. The streets are swept and the rubbish hauled off every week day, The water system Is abundantly sup plied from a pure mountain stream. The market, which Is under the supervision of a food Inspector, Is supplied with an abundance of fresh meats and a great variety of fish, vegetables and fruits (Including nuts, about 40 kinds of fruit grow In Ta hiti). m Bread, milk and Ice are deliv ered by carts dally.

Consul Hunter Sharp of Kobe, transmits the following review of ag ricultural conditions In Japan, In which he calls attention to the na tional obstacles that confront the ag riculturist, the aid extended to him by the government, and the results obtained from a very small acreage: Japan has an area of 148, 852 square miles, and, according to the census of 1906, a population of 48, 304,297. Sixty per cent of the'peo plo are agriculturists, and yet on ac count of the' mountainous nature of the country, only about one-sixth of the total area is under cultivation. Efforts are being 'made to enlarge the small, Irregular lots Into which arable land Is divided; to rearrange and straighten roads built for agri cultural purposes and waterways; to put to profitable uses pieces of land which now lie waste among cultivated fields; to Improve land by Irrigation; and to promote the use of machinery In agricultural pursuits. Recent Investigations have been mado as to the possibilities of con verting woodlands Into rice fields by utilizing the water. of certain rivers, and the scheme has been found feas ible. As the result, 8000 acres of land in the prefecture alone will be taken up for cultivation. In the near future. With the object of facilitating the supply of capital for agricultural purposes, the government In 1896, established the Hypothec Bank of Japan, as well as the Agricultural and Industrial banks. The government, moreover, estab lished experimental stations at To kyo and In certain provinces for the purpose of making experiments In the selection and supply of seeds and seedlings, also to make Investiga tions relative to Insect pests and ag ricultural implements. The farm laborer works from sun rise to sunset. Men receive 17 to 22, cents, and women 10 to 15 cents per day, the employer paying for their subsistence. The value of farm land varies ac cording to proximity to jnarket and quality. The average value jt rice fields. Is about 81.50 per tan (tan equals 0.2451 acre); and for uplands 850 per tan. Taxes assessed on these lands are: National tax, 5H per cent of the value of the land; perfectural tax, 17 H cents for every 50 cents of the national tax; village tax, 4 4 cents for every 60 cents of the nation a) tax. Taxes for repairing roads and water privileges vary from 50 cents to 81 per tan. Early Fall Merchandise at the Lowest Price Ever Asked for by any Store.

Ogden, Aug., 22 It Is reported that there are wholesale desertions from ranks of naval recruits being trans ported to the Pacific fleet. But three remain out of the 'original 60.

Filcher, secretary of the state fair opening here next week. He ad- ertlsed a reward for couples to be married In a Hons cage and several accepted. Peculiar how absolutely certain the average wan Is as to Just whom to credit when he suceeds and whom to blame when he fails. The Leader Says That the Normal School Town Is Orderly. The Weston Leader says of the suc cess of prohibition In that town; Reports are circulated every now and then about the enormous quan tity of "booze" guzzled in prohibition towns, but Weston's experience la quite the contrary. There are no arrests, no drunken ness, no disorder. Young men who formerly made themselves conspicu ous and obnoxious by getting drunk. are now sober and decent and gentle manly. Since it is no longer an easy matter to acquire a hilarious Jag with a bunch of boon companions, they seem to have dismissed all thought of their erstwhile thirst, unless a jaunt across the state line brings them into proximity with licensed booze em poriums. And then they come back sober, de siring to be sober in a sober tewn. Near beer is sold here, but it is genu ine near beer, and does not intoxicate. People drink it openly as they would lemonade, and not behind a screen, and after a glass or two go on about their business. They do not reel out of a saloon door, Hps adrool, eyesaleer and lega atremble, tongue afoul with oaths and spittle. They are their own masters and King Alcohol Is dethroned. Tes, prohibition is an unqualified success at Weston, to which fact we cite the sage attention of the Rev. Andreas Bard.
