has been received from Consul Julius
D. 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.
TWELVE MILES OF OATS.
John Pay River District Shows Great
Development.
From Prairie City to the Blue
Mountain springs al the head of the
John Day valley, a distance of about
12 miles, can be seen almost one con
tinuous field of oats, says the Blue
Mountain Eagle. Every ranch has
some acreage sown to oats and ad
Joining fields mako one continuous
stretch.
The acreage Is considerably greater
than any previous year and the yield
will be heavy. Considerable wheat
will also be harvested but the num
ber of acres is considerable less this
year. The grain la about ready to
harvest. Haying is Just about over,
there being a little more than the av
erage crop now In the stack.

AGRICULTURE I.N JAPAN.
Two and Three Crop Raided Annual
ly Prom One Field.
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.

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.
