VINELAND, Jan. %, 1897.
George Foley is quite sick at his
camp with cold.
James began bought him a fine driv-
ing horse of Marks Saturday.
A. X. Trask has commenced hauling
logs in earnest now. He has just re-
ceived a shipment of horses from below.
Mrs. Vim. Hardy, who has been
quite sick for some time past, intends
going to Brainerd to receive treatment
Business is rushing in Vineland now.
The sawmill men, Mclean g. Barlow,
are running q double force night and
day.
The roads in some places are almost
impossible. The snow is so light it
will not pack and the drifts are very
high.

D. H. Robbins is hauling logs across
the lake to South Harbor to get them

Geo. Foley, who has been on the sick
list the past week, IS feeling better at
the present writing.
r. Swedeberg has quite a large car
penter shop. He is taking orders for
making logging sleds, tote sleds and
cutters. He has nearly completed a
nice cutter for VIM. Hardy.
Mrs. Fred Guilsow, while riding
from the thoroughfare across the lake
to VIM. Hardy's on the Joe Hickey
place, nearly persisted with the cold on
Saturday, Jan. %. When she got into
Mr.. Hardy's house she could hardly
speak she was so near chilled. It
seems as though the town board should
see that the public roads are opened tc
travel and not compel people to go on
the lake where, as the weather has been
this month, it is almost certain death
to undertake to go any distance.

quite a sJickler on me labor question.
I have felt that cheap labor was most
vital 10 our industry, but I think the
coffee planters are better off than the
sugar men. Sugar requires labor in
mass. and under sort of soldier discip-
line, while coffee depends on individual
work. We can afford to pay larger
wages with the prospect Of getting bet
ter work. We want intelligent work
and for that reason l think we can do
better in the coffee business with free
labor. l have tried both free and con-
tract men, and am heartily sick of the
contract labor. 4 contract Jap. for
instance, goes out and flubdubs around
with a hoe, his only interest being TO
get through the day with the least pos
sible work. | don't believe coffee can
be made success under contract la
Dor. The industry is pre-eminently
adapted TO the cooperative system.
When man works for himself you get
intelligent effort, and he at least does
the best he can, having a personal in
terest in the result. l am inclined to
think the Japanese are the best labor,
but always free Japs, mind you.
4 can't express an opinion about
what the white man will do in the
coffee field. l have had some expert
ence with Portuguese. and they appear
to be all right. l was born and brought
up in the coffee fields of Ceylon. and
all my associations have been with the
coolies of Ceylon and the Japanese and
Chinese here. 1 know no reason why
the white man cannot do the work on
the coffee plantations, if he will. The
"a W Of M
rope and the United States ought to
be able TO work in the coffee fields The
climate in the coffee districts won't
hinder them, it is just a question of
whether they want to work.
"Oh, no; annexation will not hurt
our industry. The sugar men are the
ones who have to look out for them
selves. and when they stop to consid-
er no treaty of reciprocity, import du-
ties and a market pretty we'll filled up
with sugar, they had better think
twice before opposing annexation.
don't believe labor here will ever be
much higher than it is now: the de-
mand will always have its supply, and if
white men don't come in, the supply
will come from somewhere else. On
annexation as a general proposition.
separate Government. 1t must go to
some larger power sooner or later, and
although you Yankees think England is
a grasping sort of an individual, / don {
think England wants these Islands. l
think she is satisfied to let the United
States have it. England always pro-
tects the right, title and interests of
her subjects, and the history of the
last few years shows she is willing
to leave her subjects in these Islands in
the hands of the United States. 1 am
ready to trust to the United States, SO
long as l am citizen here, and as an
Englishman and citizen of Hawaii
they can't move the annexation wheels
along too rapidly to suit me. I've
thought the whole thing over and that
is the only conclusion 1 can honestly
come to.

back" commented an old hunter as W,
galloped through one Of the mountain
hollows in southwestern Missouri. a
s'pose the reason is obvious. A coon
has an Inje rubber back
"A rubber back?" incredulously.
"Sure's you're born. A coonll fall
from the topmost branch Of the tallest
tree ON its back every time. The fall
would kill any other animal. How
about the coon? He just punches up
in the air about rs feet like a rubber
ball and comes down on dogs neck.
Why, I've seen coon bound like ba-
by's rubber ball.
II have been told-I've never seen il
that the coon's favorite amusement
is bouncing. 0ne'll drop from tree
and bounce; then anotherll drop and

A locomotive engineer should be one

port their statement the books and
records which were in Forbes Office

show beyond dispute that Forbes was
