in THE NEW CHANNEL SOLD FOR THE RECEIVER
RECIPROCITY PLANTATION BID IN
FOR $4,000.
Under the Hammer at Morgan's-Had
Been In Difficulty Some Years-Own-
ers and Agents.

Morgan sold the Reciprocity planta-
ton at noon. f. F. Bishop, trustee,
was the only bidder and secured the
property for $4,000. He was acting
for himself and number of other par
ties who are already interested.
The property was sold under fore
closure for debt owing to c. Brewer g.
Co.. and others, amounting to about
$4,000 A. S. Wilcox, G. N. Wilcox, H.
p Baldwin and Welch & Co. were
joint plaintiffs. The owners of the
Reciprocity company were W. H. Cum
mings and about two dozen others,
chiefly natives.
The affairs of the plantation have
been in bad way for several years.
Until recently w. G. Irwin & Co. were
the agents but it changed over to
Brewer & Co. 4 short time ago the
creditors offered to cancel their claims
for rs cents on the dollar which was,
however, not accepted. The property
brought just little more than that.

FLEETWOOD IN ROUBLESEA ISLAND COTTON SEED
EXPERIMENTS ARE TO BE MADE
IN THE OLAA DISTRICT.
Mr.. Marsden Is Confident-Delieves
Success and Profit Certain-Chances
for Trade With Japan.

Mr.. Marsden is sending packages Of
and others in Olaa with instructions
regarding planting and cultivation.
The commissioner says the finest cot
ton in the world can be grown ON the
coffee lands in Hawaii and that in the
crop is one of the most promising new
industries of the country. Soil, Cli-
mate and moisture are simply perfect.
The seed in the hands of Mr.. Marsden
are carefully selected on the planta-
tions of the islands off the coast of
Georgia and will produce a fine, silky
fiber, worth about twice as much as
the standard white goods.
The commissioner is telling each of
his correspondents to plant the seeu
in well titled soil in checks six feet
apart. When two incnes high thin to
one plant in hill. When the stalk
gets three feet high, cut the top OF
about three inches down. This will
check it's growth to weed and cause it
to fruit. 1t will spread and in six
months fill all the space between the
bushes. In this country the plant will
be of perennial growth. 1t should be
renewed evry eighteen months to two
years. In year the height of the
topped cotton should be about six feet
and the diameter of the bush the same.
Fruiting should begin in three monJns
after planting and will, in this coun-
try, continue uninterrupted until the
plant is destroyed.
why can we not send cotton to
Japan" asks Mr.. Alarsden, "and knock
a big hole in their business with Liver
pool. 4 few days ago the papers stated
that American cotton was sold to a
middle man in Liverpool, then resold
and transhipped to Japan. We can
furnish the Japs better grade of cot
ton and save u big item in commissions
and freight. Four men make COM
mission out of American cotton be-
tween the planter and the japanese
manufacturer.
''In Hawaii it would be the cheapest
crop it is possible to raise. After the
plant begins to fruit it is able TO take
care of itself and is of no expense. 20
wedding or irrigation is necessary.
With contract labor picking would
cost about one half what it does in the
south and would come in as a sort of
pastime on dull days. The remainder
of the work OF getting it to market
involves little expense and not half
the trouble of marketing sugar. Cot
ought TO bring is cents pound on the
plantations"

On the Mohican.

Ransom Ellenwood, at one time
clerk under Paymaster Stanton, and
attached to the U. S. $. Mohican is be.
hind the bars in San Francisco
charged with forgery.
When Ellenwood was in this city he
was inclined to be high roller and
left a number of creditors behind
when he departed When the Mohican
reached Port Townsend Ellenwood ap-
peared to have little respect for the
naval service and on account of rev.
elry with dissolute women he was dis
missed
OF late Ellenwood has been going
from bad to worse and for the last
several weeks, while in San Francisco
he has been doing land office busi-
ness among hotels and boarding
houses by means of worthless checks.
One of his many victims was f. l..
Turpin, proprietor of the Royal House,
126 Ellis street. He had a room there
for few days and beat Turpin out of
$40 for room rent and $3.50 which
was advanced to him on bogus check
for $125 on Wells, Fargo's bank.
Wednesday night A. w. Turpin,
manager of the hotel, met Ellenwood
on Ellis street. He tooI him in charge
until he met Policeman E. Ring, and
the officer escorted him to the city
prison, where he was booked on the
charge of obtaining money under
false pretenses.
Friday morning other charges were
registered against Ellenwood. One was
charge of forgery, as Detective Ross
Whitaker had forged check in his
possession which ElleEVaed passed.
| Nearly all of the detectives there
have been on the LOOKOUT for Ellen
wood, each having in his possession
one or two of the worthless checks
which were all drawn upon Wells
Fargo's bank. Complaints to police
headquarters had been so numerous
that Chief Crowley had been peremp
tory instructions that the swindlel
had to be captured as speedily as pos
sible.
| Ellenwood is the man who succeede
in getting Justice of the Peace Carral
to guarantee bogus check for 800
which he had cashed by Barney
Schreiber, the horse owner.
His modus operandi was the same
in all the hotels and boarding houses
as at the Royal House, with the eX
ception that when the check was small
he got the full difference between hi
debt for board and lodging and tn,
amount of the check.

Holidays of This Year Falling on the
Last Day o4 the We,..

Four holidays ,Ais year have fallen
and are to fall on Saturday, as fol-
lows: Washington's Birthday, Me-
mortal Day, Fourth of July and lie
gatta Day. Many people regard this
as fortunate as it gives Sunday on
which to "rest up" Government en-
ployes do not like it because, they say,
they have halr day off anyway on
Saturday and the arrangement spoils
good holidays.
OF course Regatta Day will always
fall on Saturday, but the other holi-
days will be more considerate of the
men in Government offices. May so
and July always fall on the same day
of the week. As this is last leap year
the world will have until 1904 Feb
ruary % will also fall on the same day
as the other three holidays mentioned
for the next eight years. Christmas
this year will fall on Friday; June II
was on Thursday and Thanksgiving
will of coul fall on 1 re same day of
the week. Fortunatel no holiday of
the sar VII all on Sunday.

DRIFTING CALMLY ALONG.

We drieted far meath summer skies
Through golden hours so warm and fleet,
We looked into each others eyes
And only knew that love was sweet.
The wind went down; the setting sun
Dyed red the waters Cs we went,
We dipped our oars till say was done
Into a liquid armament.
And still we rowed, the sun went down;
What cared we, we who knew no fear?
After the dim lights of the town
Told that the evening mists were near.
The night dews fell as one by one
Perished the far lights of the town;
The evenings silence had begun
And twinkIing stars looked wondering
down.
We dropped our oars, and drifted long
Upon that calm, that starlit sea;
a wild bird sang fitful song,
He, too, could voice loves melody.
The smiles had faded from our lips
And silence told of deep content;
There in the evenings sweet eclipse
Our love became a sacrament.
wonder if some day when
May drift no more upon 1ife's sea,
But drop my oars, if I shall drift
AS calmly to eternity.
