become still more obvious, as the trade of the orient de
velops and the competition for that trade becomes more
keen. The question, therefore, of sending the ships to the
Pacific is one of serious consideration witn tne depart
ment. The Pacific is just now .the field of political interest.
The splendid isolation of the United States so far as the
Atlantic is concerned does not apply to the Pacific. In the
past the Atlantic coast was not likely to attract any fleets
but those of merchantmen seeking the products which the
United States had to offer. That condition no longer pre
vails, and the United States, now overflowing with capital
and bulging with the products of its fatcories, must seek
out new markets in the awakening east. The complications
that have arisen in the struggle with other nations are al
ready disconcerting. Japan already has a strangle hold in
Manchuria to the injury of American and other trade.
There are the Philippines to look after. There will be
ships needed to counterbalance the embryo navy now be
ing constructed by Australia. Por these general reasons,
not to mention others, it is very probable that the Pacific
battleship fleet is only a fW years at most from realization.

To he a chief among the Klamaths

to a younger man. Each village had
a head man who might ho styled
chief, who held his power in some
way subordinate to tho main tribnl
