representation of these islands

in sleepy Honolulu, "the city

the home of unwilling and in
voluntarily disannexed Ameri-
can citizens, the serpent of cor
porate monopoly rears its hy-
dra head and succeeds in steal
ing whatever freedom there
was to i Individual business or

grown the statement that a
corporation is a thing which
has neither q soul to be damn

yet who in Honolulu would

GREAT ENGINEERING PROJECT.


Holland VIII Drain the Zuyder Zee and
Reclaim 75O Square Miles.
The government of Holland has project
ed an engineering enterprise which will
rank with the greatest Of the age. 1t pro-
poses to reclaim the lands now submerged
by the Zuyder Zee. A royal commission
has made a report in which the work to be
done Is outlined.
The area to be reclaimed measures 750
square miles, tract small In the United
States, but very large In Holland.
An embankment Is to be built from the
extreme coast line Of north Holland to the
Friesland coast to shut out the ocean, and
other embankments will facilitate the for
nation Of four great "polders" at differ
ent parts Of the shores Of the Zuyder Zee
for the purpose of land reclamation.
The work is expected to be completed in
1923 or thereabouts, and It's estimated cost
is s131, $50, 900. About 25, 600 acres Of re-
claimed land will be made ready for occu-
pancy and cultivation each year while the
great task Is in progress.-Washington

WALKED THE GOLDEN STREETS.

The sessions of the worlds conference
If the Rcorganized Church OF Jesus Christ
Of Latter Day Saints Mt Independence
Mo-, have been most interesting. Many
elders and sisters testified AS to their ex-
perienccs and trials :,
An aged brother arose, and after tell
ing his experience seemed to go OH IN
trance and said no was in heaven, whether
In the body or out of the body he could not
tell, and that tho pearly gates OF heaven
had opened to him, and that he had passed
through them.
He walked up tho golden street, ana as
he walked he met two angels. One anger
stopped, and looking at him said: "Why
hellol This old man has two children
here"
These words were gladly received, but
no who was visiting heaven was wonder
ing where his wife was, who had died sew
eral years before.
Going up to the golden street, he saw
two moro persons coming toward him, ana
from their wonderful appearance recog-
nized them as God and Christ. AS no
neared them he fell upon his face before
God. He was raised up, and God asked
him what he was doing In that place he
told God that he did not know; that he
had just arrived there, and that he would
like to know IL his wife was there.
He was answered in the affirmative, ana
ne then asked permission to talk with his
wife before no left, but God took him to q
furnace, and throwing open the door God
threw in lump of gold, saying, "Thus do
/ purify my saints"
At this juncture the vision ended, and
the aged brother tottered to his seat.-St.

A CURIOUS MARRIAGE.
A Man About to he Operated on For Ap-
pendicitis II Married In . Hospital.


pendicitis II Married In . Hospital.
A curious marriage was performed mt
the Brooklyn hospital recently. DR.. Charles
Seldom, a young physician, was taken to
the hospital to undergo an operation for
appendicitis from which fatal result
was feared by the surgeons.
The doctor was engaged to Miss Ger
trude Thwing the daughter Of the well
known American missionary to China.
She followed him to the hospital, and
then In view Of the danger 1t was decided
that the marriage should precede the op-
Grafton.
Both were anxious to be welded even If
death should at once pronounce divorce
So there, at the patients bed, In pres
ence of the surgeons and with liberal
display of instruments around, the mar
riage ceremony was performed and was
Immediately followed by the operation.
Both were successful. DR.. Seldom bore
himself well In both cases and has happily
survived both and will probably get up
from his hospital bed In STEW days, made
happy by the removement Of his ailment
and the addition Of a wife.
It Is hoped that Mrs. Seldom, who he's
escaped being made a widow, will enjoy
many years as happy wife.-New York

products, fight every step toward the
demonstration Of silver in this coun-
try, in order that they may prosper
through our national misfortunes.
With these points fully before his
eyes, Governor Mckinley has always
sought to protect few favored manu-
facturers from foreign competition,
while he has chosen to ignore the
rights of the laboring and producing
masses Of our people in their claims
for a currency suited to the needs of a
producing and debtor nation.
In it's public expression of princi-
pies, the republican party has strong
ly advocated the restoration OF silver
to its former place as money metal
The dominating faction Of the party
has always trampled these principles
under foot and, probably as a matter
Of practical politics, Governor Nc
Kinley has aligned himself with that
faction Of the party.
Any man who prefers political pre-
ferment to national prosperity, is
neither a good republican, loyal a
American nor real protectionist.
Until Governor Mckinley expresses
his real convictions IN favor OF the
whole American people on the coin
age question. he will never become
even a local issue in Colorado or any
where else where manllness and truth
count for everything, -DenUer Times

A Straddling Patriot.

Gov. William Mckinley of Ohio is
now the most prominent Republican
candidate for presidency in the field.
Gov. Mckinley is disloyal Republi-
can, a sectional protectionist, and a
half-hearted American. No intelli-
gent man who opposes the free coin
age of silver deserves any higher
praise than this.
Gov. Mckinley is an intelligent man
and yet he has the foolhardiness to
attempt to straddle the coinage
question, which is likely to be the
only issue before the people during
the coming campaign. Such action
is not only insulting to the intelli.
gence of the voting masses, but it is
rank political cowardice.
No man knows better than Governor
Mckinley that Great Britain and the
other great creditor nations of the
Old World have everything to gam
and nothing to lose through the de.
monetization of silver in all lands
The restriction of the use of silver
means an artificial appreciation il
gold through legislation. Such Cd
probation IN gold must be attended
by a relative depreciation in price.
for all natural products and for labor
Governor Mckinley understands all
this perfectly we'll, and yet he is will
ing to sell himself to the dominating
gold-bug influence in his party for the
political distinction to be gained
through it. He sees the foreign ma
tions, with their great boards of colo
and their great shortages Of natural

assented to that proposition and, win
commendable zeal, many OF them
have gone to work to demonstrate by
actual experiment the value there is
in each Of them.
In a preceding letter I spoke OF the
progress made in irrigation in Us
borne county, especially Of sub-irrIga-
ton. In my second visit to the coun-
ty, last week, / visited quite num-
Der Of much larger plants, where wa
ter is taken from streams.
II will not be long, l think, until
there will be men in the business OF
going around with traction engine
and pump to furnish water for crops
as they now go around with steamer
and machine to thresh the grain for
farmers.
However, 1 wish at this time to
speak briefly Of the progress made IN
subscribing among the farmers OF Us
borne comfy and the results obtain
ed.
John Amoore Of Osborne, subsoiled
twenty acres Of corn ground. The
subsoil pillow was run in the furrow OF
the lister to the depth of ten inches
below bottom of furrow. The corn
was then planted with a one'horse
drill with ten inches Of loosened sub
soil below it. Having heard much
talk about the good growth and color
of this corn, I concluded to visit the
field. Senator II. r. Hays who is en-
thusiastic in the belief that that sub
soiling will aid greatly in storing and
holding moisture in times OF drouth'
and who has SUBSIDIZED considerable
of his own land this spring, kindly
rendered himself horse and buggy
and spade to make the inspection
We found the corn much stronger and
richer IN color and Of larger growth
than corn planted at the same time on
ground not subsoiled. With the spade
we dug down in furrow and found
to the depth Of twelve inches the soil
| quite moist and in excellent condition
for plant growth. One good rain fell
after subsoiling was dope, filling up
the reservoir made with good caltiVat-
ion, and with water thus stored the
plant WAS able to maintain itself and
made good growth in spite Of adverse
weather conditions prevailing at the
time. And should there be a heavy
rainfall the soil would be In condition
to relieve the plant of surplus water
by q quick passage to the subsoil be-
low. AZ the season progresses the
condition of this AoFa will be noted
and at the end of the season Tho re-
! suits obtained will be made known.
Mr. Gus. O'Brien, near Luray, il
the south part Of the county, has also
srbooilo,1 part Of bus corn grounc
$3.50 - in the same way
49,. ao.V "0'eaJ -;va farm.
Mr.. O'Brien is a live progress.
er and will give an account of results
obtained.
Much of the ground planted to al
falfa this spring was subsoiled-es-
pecially the up land. 1t is believed
that the loosening up of the subsoil to
the depth of sixteen to twenty inches
on upland will make conditions there
much the same as bottom land and a
better and stronger growth of alfalfa
is assured, As the philosophy of sub.
solling becomes better known by our
farmers the more subsoiling will be
done. 1t promotes the circulation of
air and water in soil, both of which
are just as necessary to plant life and
growth as they are to animal hfe.-
