CAPITAL FOR MINOR ENTERPRISES.

"Too many eggs in one basket" is
what is charged by naval writer's
when speaking Of the great ironclads
of the day. And "too many eggs in
one basket" is what we must charge
against the fnanciers of this country.
Sugar is the beginning and the end
Of all our prosperity. Here no one
will think of advancing money save
upon the great staple, for that, even
in unlikely places, money can always
be found. But why cannot money
be advanced in small sums for small
enterprises? Take for example fruit
There are many people who would
give their industry if they could
only get sufficient capital to tide
them over the first proftless years of
fruit culture. There are lands even
about Honolulu where considerable
quantities of fruit could be raised
which would find a ready market,
both here and in San Francisco.
Upon the opening of the new rail
road more of such lands will be
opened. What will then be needed,
will be a loan and investment COM
pany which will be willing to ad-
vance money at moderate rate of
interest for the purchase of small lots
of land, and assistance in cultivat-
ing them. There is plenty of money
here seeking investment, why not
put it to such good purpose instead
of allowing it to remain idle? Such
a company formed of our own CAPT.
talists will be a real boon and will
very likely help to solve some of the
social problems at present agitating
the public mind. It will tend to
raise up sturdy intermediate class
between the mere wage Garner and
the sugar planter-a class upon
whom thorough reliance can be
placed in all times of political diff
Guilty. What We want is to get the
eggs OF prosperity spread around
among the people. Those who have
already got their eggs must contri-
butte few to assist those who
have not, and by so doing they will
ind their own baskets filing up
faster than ever.
Another thing that should be here
is Building Society" The mem
bers Of such societies are assisted
either in erecting their own houses
Or in purchasing those they already
occupy. Thousands of small house
holders in other countries owe their
happy homes to the advantageous
workings of these societies. We talk
lere of the Government doing every
hing. There ought to be private
at the heels ofgovernment
york, and in the lines above indi-
ated this is an ample field. Let our
capitalists think over the matter.

THE DAILY

WE are in receipt of a handsome
and useful book of ffty-four pages
octave, published by Messrs. J. D.
Spreckels & Go. of San Francisco
giving valuable information regard
ing the harbors and shipping facili.
ties OF "the ports of San Francisco.
San Diego, Puget Sound, Portland
and honolulu" In the division of
Puget Sound" are treated all the
ports of that great inland sea, and
also the ports of British Columbia.
The work is illustrated by large
maps of San Francisco harbor, one
OF which gives views of all the piers
and wharves of that city, San Diego
harbor and bay, and five photo
graphic views of harbor tug-boats
belonging to the firm of J. D.
Spreckels & Bros. Altogether the
work is very credltable to all con-
cerned, and is gotten up in neat
and ornamental style on stout paper
throughout.

ings of the conspiritors, and was
aware of what was going on, and
gave his approval thereto.
When the fact became known on
the morning of the Both that Wilcox
with his men was in possession Of
the palace and government building,
the following notice was at once con
spiciously posted in several places
in Chinatown.
'There is now going on, a riot at the
palace. We earnestly request all Chi
nase to mind their own business and not
to involve themselves in any manner
with the rioters and to keep away from
the nelghborhood of the scene of the
riot.
Dated July 80, 1889.
BY order of the
UNITED CHINESE SOCIETY"
Whether in consequence of this or
not, it is a fact that the Chinese kept
out of the way and were quiet dur
ing the riot.
Hearing of the report relative to
L. Ahlo and about the armed band,
the United Chinese Society held a
meeting on Tuesday, August 9Th, and
appointed committee of six respon-
sible men to inquire into the mat
ter. The report was made the fol
lowing day to the Society. It was,
that the most careful and diligent
inquiry showed that no such band
existed; that on the contrary, the
Chinese had nothing to do with the
affair, had no connection with it OF
with the actors therein, and had nc
knowledge of it except by way Of
rumor in common with the general
public. It was also ascertained that
the report relative to Ahlo was
wholly untrue. In fact, 80 far as
could be ascertained, no Chinese al
all had any connection whatever
with the rioters and kept wholly
| aloof.
We are authorized to make the
foregoing statement and deem it nc
more than proper that it should be
made in justice to the Chinese.

FRIENDS AND FOES.

An editorial in the Bulletin a
short time since, in commenting on
the recent emeute spoke of its utter
foolishness, because that, among
other reasons, the present Cabinet is
certain to be overturned at the com
ing election, and little patient
waiting would have accomplished
the result. The same article speaks
OF the present Cabinet in favorable
terms. 1t is hard to reconcile the
apparently contradictory terms of
the writer. This is however of little
Importance; the real question is.
what are the issues to be presented
TO the electors next February? Is it
not fact, that the vast bulk of the
unfavorable criticism which has
hlled the papers for months past is
OF personal nature? What are the
ISSUES OF a character vital to orr
political, commercial or social we'll
being upon which the present Cab
met ought to be defeated? Observers
must be convinced that no small part
OF the Vlrulent attacks upon this
Ministry comes really from those not
IN accord with the principles of the
present constitution, and who yonld
gladly see a return to the old regime
and to personal government with its
inseparable evils.

con1ectureeSG A novel letter in the
81 ape Of a pink sea shell, on which
Is inscribed tender message of love
is exhibited. It reached its owner
in city in Massachusetts, who re-
fused to pay q cents, due in post
age, and was sent to the Dead-Letter
Office, where the public may read
the affectionate inscription and adj
mire the pretty and novel missive.
In one case are several hundred
dollars worth of gold and silver
quartz that has been received from
time to time. Standing in one corner
of case is a negro doll that was adj
dressed to a New York society belle.
She in some way discovered what 1T
was and refused to pay the postage
on it. Coins of every land and age
are in the collection. In one case is
set Of false teeth, and near them
reposes a set of blonde frizzes that
were addressed to a Boston lady, but
which were refused. An axe, such
as are used by fremen, was received
and is on exhibition. A few years
ago can was received at the Office,
and upon being opened sixteen rat
tlesnakes made their escape. The
men and women took elevated posi-
tions on the tables and gave the rep
tiles full possession of the floor.
Finally quiet was restored and the
snakes despatched. In one case is a
boot-black's outfit, a saw, hammer,
pair tongs. tin cup and hat box, all
received by mail. Articles of wear
ing apparel of both sexes are re-
ceived daily. The clerks in the office
work hard, but find many amusing
things to break the monotony Of
routine duties.

was appealed to by the Lords Day
observance Association to stop the
sunday playing of the military
bands. He replied that nothing
would induce him to order a band

done voluntarily and afforded great
pleasure to many people who
couldn't get it on week days, nothing
would induce him to stop it.

Extent of the Artesian RasIn.

Around each of these main points clus-
ter several questions Of minor Importance
which need not here be discussed. The
first of these queries can not be fully ans
wered as yet. An attempt has been made
ny the writer during the present season to
determine approximately the eastern bor-
der of the basin" with the following re-
suits:
l. Either the whole or q large part of each OF
the following counties, is underlaid by the HUI
roman quartzite-pronlinently exposed at Sioux
Falls, Dell Rapids. and at many other points,
and called popularity granite casper" etc
at suoh depths as to make it highly improbable
that artesian wells can be had within their
borders: Union, Clay, Lincoln, Turner, Yank-
ton, hutchinson, Hanson. McCook, Minnehsha,
Moody and Lake counties.
=. The position OF the coteau de prairie Rom
ders it questionable whether the counties of
Brookings, Hamlin, Deuel., Codin9ton, Grant.
Roberts and Marshall can have artesian wells.
Ihat there are portions of some of these coun-
ties, in which successful wells already in opera
ton, l an wcll aware, and I am prepared for
further exceptions to the general statements
made above, but l think experience will dem.
o%nstrate the general truth OF what I have
stated. 1t will be seen that if my conclusions
are correct the eastern border Is practically
that OF the james river valley. Within this
valley wells are in operation from Vermillion to
jamestown. What tho western border is l
have no data for determining, but from the ex-
istence of wells we'll toward the Missouri river
IN central Dakota, as we'll as from the general
geological structure OF the state, it seems
probable that the basin reaches to, and nor.
maps fnr boyOnu that stream.

South Dakota,s Ar,esian w.,,s

It is apparent that with a sufficient and
we'll regulated water supply, the Dakota
regions now drought stricken and impov-
erished will blossom as the rose and Weld
regular and abundant harvests. In 1884
the first artesian we'll was completed at
Andover, Day county. Since hen more
than 100 successful wells, scattered
through thirty or more counties, nave
been sunk. These wells give pressures
varying from to 17Opounds to the square
inch, and flow ut the rate from IA to 1000
or 5000 gallons per minute. In view of
these facts the inquiry naturally arises,
can not the wells be multiplied to such an
extent as to supply the needed moisture
for our crops? In order to answer this
question at all several other important
queries must first be settled.
l.. Over what portion of the Dakotas does the
"artesian BASIN extend?
:. Is the water supply sufficient for such
heavy demands as would be made upon it by
this system2
;; Is the general topography such as to adj
NIT Of the equitable distribution of the water?
4. How many wells would be REQUIRED?
8. What would such n system Of wells prob
ably cost?

MOST people think that r%attlesnakes

MOST people think that rattlesnakes
are entirely useless upon the earth,
but the story told by the Athens, Ga,
Banner will set aside such o belief.
There are places in South Georgia
where men extract oil from the rat
tlesnake and use it to cure rheuma-
tism. These persons will give a negro
81 to point out a rattlesnake to them,
and then they kill it in a peculiar man
ner. They place a forked stick over
the snakes head, then put a cord
around it and strangle the snake. This
is done to keep the snake from biting
itself. The body of the reptile is then
strung up and the oil extracted from it.
1t sells at - per ounce, and this in
dustry is a very profitable one. The
snakes in that section are very large,
averaging five feet in length, and one
RATHER gives up a great deal of oil. A
little negro once saw two rattlers lying
close together, and wanted to get the
money for finding them. It was mile
to the nearest house. He was afraid
the snakes would crawl off while he
was gone, and so he took off his coat
and placed it between the snakes. He
went off, came back, and found them
still ewing the coat. He had them
charmed. So the snake is cultivated
down there as q profitable industry.
