THE MONGOOSE.

Regarding the mongoose referred
to in an extract from the Chronicle
published yesterday, it ought to be
stated that Notwithstanding the
fact that it has been the means of
Kidding some of the sugar planta-
tions on Hawaii of the numerous
rats, which were formerly so de-
structive to the cane fields, it is
still looked upon with great detest-
alton by the population generally,
owing to the fact that it destroys
poultry as effectually as it does rats
and mice. The mongoose has saved
hundreds of thousands of dollars
worth of sugar by clearing the cane
fields of the rat plague, but at the
same time it has caused a loss of a
few thousands perhaps to the poul-
try dealers.
Some twelve years ago, when
Capt. Obed Spencer owned the
Hakalau plantation, in the district
of Hilo, the place was literally
overrun with rats, so that he found
it quite impossible to bring a crop
of cane to maturity owing to the
complete destruction Of his fields
by these pests. During a short
visit there in 1879 he took the
writer out to witness their move
ments. 1t was a bright, moonlight
evening, and after walking a few
hundred yards we stopped in the
road, and the rats were moving
from the woods above to the cane
fields below in countless numbers,
so thick as literally to cover the
whole ground, leaping over logs
and piles of stones and jumping
four or five feet across the ditch by
the roadside. 1t is safe to say that
in the few minutes spent there tens
of thousands must have come down
to enter the cane fields. The mon
goose has SO effectually cleared this
district of the rats that the crop of
sugar this year will probably be
five or six thousand tons, while,
had the mongooses not been i'm
ported, the annual crops might not
have reached as many hundred
tons.
Those who intend or wish to in
troduce the mongoose into Cali
fornia should know all the facts,
and be prepared for small loss on
the one hand, while they may Sc
cure a much larger gain on the
other. We are not aware of any
other complaint existing against
this sure rat-exterminator. 1t
would no doubt rid California of
the gophers and every other of the
rodent tribe, and in very short
time but might cause a rise in the
price of spring chickens and game
birds, and bring down curses on the
heads of those who venture2 to in
troduce them.

In Praise of the Chinese.

The Chinese in Australia,
though they are hated by the Aus
tralians, are showing what can be
done by land culture. The Cali
fornians, in their large wheat
growing tracts, produce 10 bushels
of wheat to the acre, the English
man q bushels to the acre, the
Scotchman 80, the English allot-
ment holder 40 to so; the Chinese,
with his careful use of every avail
able drop of manure, and his
painstaking care for each clod of
ground, would produce about a
hundred bushels to the acre

the present quarter is not |
half so bad as the cry of the
croakers would indicate. It's
the people who think, think, |
think without doing; people |
with not enough energy in
them to get out of the office
and go forward and wait
on customers; people who
think advertising doesn't pay
that are going to tell you
that business is not what it
was when sugar sold at 800
a ton. To make times bet
ter the business man must
watch every honest opportu-
nifty to secure customers-amd
dollars. Merely to look after
the customers and let the coin
look after itself is not good
business. The better way is
to sell fewer goods and sell to
people who you can collect
from without adding lawyers
fees and court expenses to the
end of the bill. Weed out the
bad paying customers, offer
inducements to those who
are willing to pay cash and
the buyer and seller will have
fewer sleepless nights. This
action would be the prelimi-
nary step to a strictly cash
business and there would be
no necessity to jump, alb
ruptly, from the credit to the
cash system. Where, as in
Honolulu, business has been
conducted for a half century
on a credit basis, merchants
will find many obstacles in the
way of a sudden change of
system.
Besides all this you must
have the goods, both in guam
tity and quality, that the peo-
pie demand. We have been
successful in our effort to Sc
cure just such things as the
people things useful
and ornamental, things for the
parlor as we'll as the kitchen.
The result is that seldom du-
ring the working hours is our
store without the breezy hum
that goes hand in hand with
busy times.
We've made it a rule to
make, customers feel at home
when inside the store no mat
ter whether they come merely
to INSPECT the Haviland China
or Fischer Steel Range or
buy an Aermotor. Our treat
ment of them is the same
and they're pleased in conse-
quence. We're selling goods.

son for this is because some

have, and others wanted a
different pattern to sandwich

seems that there is a screw loose some
where when such magnificent spec
tacle is witnessed by but two men and
one of them,-the other fellow, not
myself very common and unap-
preciative sort of chump, when thOus-
ands of people travel around the
earth to see less.
But enough of avalanches. A visit
made few days later to the Dalton
glacier was full of interest. We work.
ed our way in canoe through several
miles of floating ice to within a few
hundred feet of the ice wall of the gla-
cier front, where we lay for an hour
watching pieces large and small de-
tach themselves and float out into
the water. The forming of an iceberg,
while an interesting sight, is such a
small affair compared with an ava
lanche that it seems hardly worth de-
scribing. AS the pressure of the upper
part of the glacier forces the lower
part out into the water, the ice is
undermined by the action OF the wav-
es underneath and breaks by its own
weight with crash like field piece
and, tumbling into the water, "turns
turtle' two or three times and finally
floats off, full fledged berg, growing
smaller and smaller every day from
the action of the sun and waves, until
finally it takes its last roll and disap-
pears. A largo iceberg breaking off
creates considerable wave, which
makes fooling about in the vicinity in
a small boat rather ticklish business.
We remained for two weeks in the
midst of icebergs and avalanches, and
enjoyed life hugely. We killed ptar-
migan by the dozen. The harmless
bird which bears this euphonic name
is about half the size of a prairie chick
en-, and as table delicacy is several
points ahead of that fowl. They are
found in great numbers in the low |
willow brush in the canons, and make |
first class wing shooting. We tried !
experiment of eating two Arctic wood
animals about the size of rae
coOns, and found them excellent. But |
finally the time came to return to Yak
utat, and we left Disenchantment Bay
to the possession of the seals, gulls
and fishhawks, launched the two can
oes, got caught in a gale and knocked
about Yakutat Bay all night, and
finally came into our old camp tired,
wet and hungry.

OUR ALASKAN LETTER.
A Continuation of Fred Funston S
Interesting Adventures.

Away back in 1874, when the littl'
American Republic was an infant in
long dresses just learning how tt
crow, its late guardian and protector
King George the Third, sent out on &
voyage of discovery to the North Pac
ific one George Vancouver, one of the
boldest of England's navisators, WHIT
had begun his career of adventure un,
der the famous Captain Cook. After
numerous vicissitudes Vancouver EN-.
tered what is now known as the strait
of Juan de Fuca, and made partial
exploration of the shores of the great
island which now bears his name
His course from here lay up the hith-
erto UNEMPLOYED inland passage, and
for months he picked his way among
the thousands of islands and threaded
the tortuous channels that lie off the
northwest coast.
And he had some rare sport on the
way up. 1t was long before the coast
tribes of Indians had been decimated
by smallpox and other fashionable
diseases introduced by the whites,
and Vancouver found them a turbu-
lent lot, whose appetite for plumber
had been whetted by from time to
time lOoting the few trading and ex-
ploring vessels that had thus far ven
tured along the coast. But Eancou-
ver's vessel was heavily armed and
he dressed down the Indians on nu-
merOus occasions and did it so thor
Oughly that they talk about it to this
day, as the tale was handed down by
the fathers and grandfathers Of those
now living.
In the course of his voyage the
doughty Briton arrived in Yakutat
Bay, much to the establishment of the
natives who, being more isolated than
their southern neighbors, had never
before seen a vessel larger than their
own canoes. At this place Vancouver
made a prolonged stay, making a
chart of the bay and the group of ISL
ands on its eastern side. 1t was while
engaged in this work at the upper end
of Iakutat Bay that he noticed mar
row gap in the st. Elias range where
the waters of the bay seemed to ex-
tend far inland. He at once jumped
at the conclusion that it was the west
ern terminus of the long sought North
west Passage, and with a great flour
ish set sail for England by the new
route. He made his way slowly
through the narrow entrance and up
the newly discovered passage, be-
tween mountains and glaciers and
through fields of floating ice until, to
the unutterable disgust of himself and
everyone on board, they came to the
end of the thing, and, turning about,
got out the way they had come in.
But he had his revenge by naming it
"Disenchantment Bay" and by this
name it is known on the charts to
this day. That was in 1884, and it
was not until 1891, ninety-seven years
