Several of the large saw mills Z

Several of the large saw mills OF
eastern Canada are lighted by gas
made from saw dust. The operation
ia successful, but it has not as yet
cansed a deterioration tin the tvalue
of the stock of the original coal :eas
companies. Since the process OF
making gas from coal was discovered,
pas has been made from water, and
dra wn from the earth direct for the
nurpose Of fuel and Illumination.
The gas that is taken from water Is
good and servicable, but the water
that is used in diluting the stock OF
the old companies is more servicable
in that it keeps down the annual
dividends and conceals the fact that
they are paying an immense per cent
IF profit ON the original capltallza-
ton. Here in the west we are more
nrogressive and the saw mills OF this
mart OF the country are lighted by
electricity, which is generated by the
same power that moves the saws.

In 1884 Eugene Field wrote a story
which he called 1.-The Werewolf
When it was finished he laid it aside
and year afterward entirely
rewrote it. In 1886 he again took it
up and revised it, and during the
nine years between that time and his
death in November last, he rewrote
it eight times. His last revision
pleased him and he decided to print
it. But death came to suddenly.
and the story was found, unpub-
lished, among his effects. Mrs. Field.
concluding to have the story appear,
gave it to the editor of The Ladies'
Home journal. in which magazine
all of Mr.. Fields work, outside of
his newspaper articles, was pre-
sented to the public. The story will
be printed in the next issue of the
Journal, strikingly illustrated by

Regular Monthly Meeting
Held on Monday
Morning. u

The monthly meeting Of the
chamber of commerce was held at
the city hall Monday morning. and
President Cauley presided.
The minutes Of the last meeting
were read and approved.
Mr.. Geer, az one Of committee
from the Odd Fellows lodge, in
formed the chamber that the state
Of that society was
about to select a site for an "Odd
Fellows Honey and that it was
the desire Of the Little Falls lodge to
have the cooperation Of the people
pf the city in an effort to secure the
institution for this city. After some
discussion of the matter, the presi-
dent was author xed to appoint a
committee of three members of the

ut-Otf line of railroad nor theast
from the city, reported that progress
had been made in the work, and that

The question as to what, If any,
'ction the chamber Of commerce
~hOuld take toward shaping the city
ampaign. and to urging a policy
hat would result in decreased tax
ate, was discussed for an hour or
more. The sentiment seemed unam-
nous that some public declaration
.hould be made by the people Of the

doubted the policy of having the

.hamber finally adjourned without
aking action in the matter

Nelson Is All Right.

Senator Nelson is sound on the
two leading issues of the hour-the
tariff and the currency. He has
spoken twice during the session,
once in advocacy Of a tariff that will
at once afford protection and revenue
and hts speech was characteristic of
the man-clear. fOrcible and logical;
and now he has made an admirable
speech in advocacy of sound and
honest money. If no remain as

The Union s. S. Company were
to inaugurate steam service to
the Cook Group aAd Tahiti on
April Both, either the Janet Nicoll
or Walnut taking up the running.
The Government have decided
to pay the,Union Steamship Com
pany a subsidy (Which will pro-
badly mean G1000) for the estab-
lishment of another steam service
between this colony, Tahiti, Raro-
tonga, and some other ports to be
definitely arranged.
A garden party was given on
April 8 by the Countess of Glas-
gov at Government House, Auck-
land, for which nearly 400 invita-
tons were issued. There were
over 300 present, and the function
was very successful, as regards the
promotion of social intercourse,
and in every other respect.

There was an unfortunate fracas
on the Australia after she docked
in San Francisco on her last trip.
Peter Reynolds, one of the cabin
boys, assaulted Second Steward
j. Barry and free fight ensued.
It was the outcome of a grudge
held by Reynolds for number
of reprimands for dereliction of
duty, and when he got the chance
after the steamer locked he "went
for Barry" Officer George Lake
was called in and he placed Rey-
nolds under arrest on a charge of
battery. Barry is a very capable
man and is an able assistant to T.
K. James, one of the most popular
stewards in the employ of the

Honolulu's warm climate is
co nducive of thirst to a greater
degree than that of a colder zone.
The average business man loses
also, to degree, the amount Of
energy and nervous force common
enough in the bracing air of
American cities. These two phases
of our climate make it more
necessary than elsewhere to slim
ulate the system with an invigor-
ant. No more healthful or purer

In support Of the Bland candidacy. on

talked in vigorous style in sup
the friends OF the Missouri candidate
to be prepared for that opposition
which always concentrated against the
made also by representatives from
Indian Territory. Utah. Arizona. New
Mexico, Oklahoma and Colorado. They
were uniformly enthusiastic and voiced
the sentiment that Bland was such an
exponent of silver as to make him the
strongest and most available candidate
In the western states.
One OF the strongest speeches was
made by Hinrichsen Of the Illinois dele
cation. who is regarded as next to
Governor Altgeld in influence in that
delegation. He spoke strongly in fa-
vor OF Bland. and expressed the opin-
lon that the IS votes of Illinois would
be given TO the Missouri candidate. No
action was taken beyond hearing the
report Of the various states and ex-
changing congratulations on what the
Bland managers regarded as most
favorable showing. They pointed out
in particular that the caucus was rep
resentative OF the western states and
besides these Bland had a large follow
ing in the South. The sentiment was
that the delegates of the West. having
thus met in caucus and expressed their
preferences should now exert their in
huence upon the delegates OF the South
, with a view to persuading them that

time further accessions were expected.

and California were not represented by
reason OF the fact that the delegates
from these states had not caucussed

Some question was raised as to
whether the expressions given at the
caucus could be relied upon as show

positively. after the caucus. that the
expressions in each case were not those

Before the meeting closed Senator
Martin read a letter just received from
San Francisco stating that a club OF
1000 democrats and populists had been
organized, favorable to the candidacy
OF Bland for the presidency and also
favoring Senator Teller for secretary
