RECEIVES FUNNY LETTERS
ONE RESULT OF MISS WILDER'S
HUMANE WORK.
Congratulations Advice and Even
Proposals Pour In On Every Hand
-Scribblings of Harmless Cranks.

Miss Helen Wilder has attained pc
culiar notoriety through her appoint
ment as first humane officer on the
Hawaiian Islands. An account of her
work, with a portrait published in the
San Francisco Chronicle at the time,
was copied into papers all over the
world. In fact, the story has not yet
run it's course. Not only has it been
printed in all the great American pa
pers, but it recently appeared, por-
of the London Queen.
But this widespread fame has it's
draw wbacks. 1t has made Miss Wilder
a target for all sorts of cranks, who
write from every part of the country
on all kinds of subjects. Some of the
scribblers are well meaning enough,
people who are interested in the hui
name work and who want to congrat-
ulate the new appointee upon having
the courage to enter it. One man
away back in the backwoods of Kan
sas is hunting for Wilder born some
time in the last century, and sends
along the genealogy of the family.
The general style of many of the let
ters is best learned from the follow
ing as given:
Los Angeles, Cal,
Miss Helen Wilder, Honolulu, H. l.:
Il ask your Pardon in advance for
the liberty | take in addressing you.
My reason for writing to you is two
fold first: | was so pleased at you
arresting the Sea Captain about the
Horse. | read an account of it in the
Los Angeles Times second: my de-
sire for information about Honolulu.
| would like to go, / am healthy
strong & sober q loves to work, how

Live long & continue the good

WANT STATE ASSISTANCE
ISLAND MERCHANTS ARE QUITE
ANGRY.
Say That the Canadian Line Casts
Aside Their Freight, While the
Occidental People win Not Take It..

The success of the island fruit
growers in securing the consent of
the management of the Occidental and
Oriental Steamship Company to re-
ceive their products for shipment to
California markets has inspired the
Honolulu patrons of both the Cana
dian and Occidental lines to take steps
for better freight accommodations.
A large shipper over the Canadian
and Australian liners has taken up the
cudgel, so to speak. He hopes to Sc
cure the cordial support of the busi-
ness commuhity in laying general
grievances not only before the steam
ship companies, but before this Gov
ernment.
For many months Honolulu i'm
porters and shippers have been badly
handicapped by the indifference of
these companies in the matter of isl
and freight" said the gentleman,
street. Through freight has always
been given the preference over our
goods, even after it has been accepted,
and great hardship has been work
ed upon us in Hawaii who are i'm
porting goods from the States.
"Those who have fruits and other
products to export find it equally as
difficult to secure space for their
freight The grievances of the fruit
growers who have just recently been
granted shipping privileges by the
Occidental Company is one of the most
conspicuous examples.
Freight has been shipped by rail
from points in Oregon and Washing,
ton to Vancouver where the Canadian
steamship officials have accepted the
bills of lading. Invariably enough
freight for Australia is received be.
fore the steamer sails and the Homo.
lulu stuff, which was received in good
| time and accepted, is left lying on the
wharf TO await the next steamer.
"With the Occidental line it has
been impossible to ship any freight
over that line, because, as it is general
|
that line and the Spreckels line, thai
the Occidental liners are not to carry
freight to Honolulu.
"We submit that it is a business
proposition with the Canadian Com
pany to have Australian freight
which pays from So to $40 instead o
freight which yields from 81 to Sc
But is it right that the island import
ers should be wholly at the mercy o
these lines?
"Now, what we intend to ascertain
is whether this Government canno
assist us. For the mail accommoda
tions these steamers are given FREE
water and dockage at any time; th
pilotage, wharfage and other expense
are all RENTED to them. The passen
ger business amounts to considerable
eve are anxious to have a certain
amount of space room reserved TO
freight billed for Honolulu. We onl.
ask for one hundred tons or so, AM
if that is not engaged at a certain
date before sailing the company coul
use the spaces for other freights. Thi
would be fair to u.s."

BRITISH COMMISSIONER HAWES
is LAID TO REST.
Obsequies Conducted With the Pomp
and Magnificence of Military and
Naval Display-The Boom of Guns.

Sadly and solemnly has all that is
earthly of British Commissioner a. G..
S. Hawes been laid to rest.
The final obsequies over the body
were held at st. Andrews Cathedral
at 10o'clock this morning. Interment
took place at the English Government
plot in Nuuanu Cemetery.
The day has been one of sadness.
The painful duty of laying in the
earth the remains of distinguished
English gentleman and an honored
diplomat has been met and religious
ly performed.
The flags floating over the city,
from the government buildings, the
different legations and consulates,
hung at half mast. The Government
offices closed all day. Business was
suspended from 10 o'clock until the
noon hour, enabling hundreds to show
their respect for the deceased by at
tending the funeral services.
All this told of the desire of the
whole community to honor him who
has gone.

Capt. Sam. Wiley Succumbs.

Capt. Samuel Wiley, who operat-
ed for number of years in logging
and steamboat business in Mason
County and is one of the old pioneers,
died at his home in Olympia last Sat
urday, aged II years. He continued
his logging business until 1889, and
from this and his steamboat traffic
with the old Willie, he made consider
able money in this county, enabling
him to purchase the Mu1tnomah, and
entered the steamboat route to Seattle,
under the name of the Wiley Naviga-
ton company, which afterwards add
ed the Aberdeen. His,sots, Lafayette,
George and P. L. who survive him
were associated with him.
Four years ago his wife died, and
he married a second time in 1895 to
Miss Inez Huntley, who also survives
him. His death was in part due to a
fall at Port Gamble some months ago.
The funeral took place Monday after
noon and a number of Mason County
friends visited Olympia to attend, the
City of Shelton making a special trip.
