HALF A TON or SUGAR BEET SEED.
All Colorado Will have a Chance 10 Show
How Sweet Her Dirf Can Be.

Washington, Dec. 4.-Representative
Shafroth had long interview with the
secretary Of the agricultural department
regarding seeds for beet sugar expert
ments in Colorado. He presented letters
from the Chamber OF Commerce Of Den
yer explaining what was desired and
what the chamber believed could be ac-
complished. Secretary Wilson was very
anxious to do anything that would further
the beet sugar industry OF Colorado and
he said that he would furnish all the
seeds that were necessary to carry on
the experiment. He would begin with a
half ton Of seeds to be sent to the Chamber
OF Commerce and to be distributed by
them as was deemed most feasible. and
il any more seed was needed he would
be glad to furnish them. He will suggest
that the Chamber OF. Commerce plant
these seeds in every agricultural district
OF the state, il necessary. confining the
areas and patches to 30 feet square in
order to develop the soils in different
districts aud ascertain where the best
sugar districts are. He will request,
however. that the tests Of the saccharin
matter be made under the direction OF
an agent OF the Agricultural department
at the United State agricultural stations,
Fort Collins, and instructions will be
sent to the agent to spare no pains in
making tests as elaborate and trust
worthy as they can be made.
Mr.. Shafroth is very much encouraged
with his interview and feels that the
Denver Chamber OF Commerce will have
the hearty cooperation OF Secretary VIII
son in the matter Of the beet sugar ex-
periments.

4 Corrected Interview.

NJ. L. Allison, representative OF the
Western Slope Of Colorado to the In
dustrial Exposition to be held at Omaha
next year, in an interview with Denver
papers few days ago, charges that the
reporters got tangled up in their report
of his sayings concerning separate exhib-
its at the forthcoming exposition and
herewith corrects the reports given:
Il notice Denver papers say that I
pitted Grand Junction against Rocky
Ford in friendly contest to be made at
the Omaha Exposition. In this they are
very much mistaken. The facts are
these:
AT the meeting Of the state board OF
commissioners OF the Trans Mississippi
and Intsrnstional expositioo. on the 18th,
at Denver. seven counties Of the Ar
kansas valley wanted a representative
also wanted to exhibit collectively and
separate from the balance Of the state,
all OF which was agreeable to me, pro-
vided the eleven counties OF the Western
Slope could be permitted to exhibit in
the same manner. After a preliminary
skirmish, the Arkansas valley and west
ern Colorado had their way and will il
represented at the exposition, while
showing in Colorado space, exhibit
separately.
Il did not challenge Rocky Ford to
exhibit against Grand Junction, as l
represent the Western Slope, but did say
that the eleven counties west Of the
rang, would show against the balance
Of the state in all product, which in
clude gold. silver. copper. lead. iron. an
timony, coal. coke, asphalt, gilsoni,e.
elaterite, agate. onyx. marble. granite,
sandstone. fire clay. horticultural and
agricultural products. Also game, eli
mate, scenery, water power and water.
However. did say that We would
show pumpkins and cantaloupes against
Rocky Ford. IL Rocky Ford would chal-
leuge us to do 80.
In fact believe our people OF the
Western Slope would enter its products
in show against any section OF the
world. But l don't believe they will
buck against Denver's carnival. as there
were no benefits TO be won from il texcept
to Denver merchants."-M. L. Allison. in
Grand junction Star Times.

Attention is drawn by The DELTA In
DEPENDENT to the grievous inaccuracies
OF Bulletin No. 6 recently issued by the
division Of pomology OF the United States
department Of agriculture. The bulletin
gives an altogether erroneous idea Of the
fruit growing capabilities Of not only the
Western Slope, but Of the whole Of Colo
suao. IT, bnllstin = entitled '-Cata-
lague OF Fruits and is being sent out
~ the thousand to give official informa-
too to the people Of all the states as to
the kinds Of fruit which they should try
- grow. The country is divided into
6fteen districts. in each Of which certain
fruits are supposed to best flourish.
Colorado, Utah, and Nevada the portions
Of district. in Arizona. New Mexico and
Texas north OF the thirty fifth degree OF
latitude are grouped in district L. There
are named go well known varieties OF
apples which may be grown successfully
in different parts OF the United States
and some OF the districts are credited
With ability to grow nearly all OF them
Out OF all OF these it is stated that
only % varieties OF common winter ap-
ples may be grown in this state. Such
IN utterly absurd statement is scarcely
accredited as having the sanction Of the
American Pathological society which
prepared the catalogue or OF the depart
Deut Of agriculture which issued it. In
Delta county alone more than 100 varie-
ties Of apples are being successfully
grown and in the state more than 800
varieties, or more varieties than are
Dentioned by the catalogue for the
whole United States. In apricots list
of l. varieties is given and Colorado
growers are warned against all except
three, whereas in this state there are
more than % varieties successfully Guilt
waited. Colorado is credited with ability
TO grow only 6 varieties OF cherries out
none are credited TO this state.
The most amazing statement OF all 10
in regard to peaches. A list OF llo varie-
tics ID given, but will it be believed that
the columns for Colorado, Utah and
Nevada are absolutely blank. We can't
grow any peaches in this country! The
train loads OF fruit supposed to be peach

were crowded about the gangway,

have been carried so long before max
ing its appearance. From all that
have heard | am inclined 10 the opin-
ION that il may have been among the
Gunnage OF one OF the crew-some-
thing which evidently had not passed
through the fumigating room before
the vessel left Japan"
Questioned as 10 the best means OF
kesping disease out of the country. Mr..
Smith said;
Il do not see how we can issue an
edict closing this port 20 passengers
from infected ports. | remember that
this was spoken of and almost put into
operation Il few months ago. bat il was
found impracticable. Just now the in
fected ports happen 10 be in Japan.
but we do not know how soon il may
be San Francisco. We cannot close the
commerce Of the Atlantic. and yet II
such q law was put into effect we
might have 10. II passengers and lneir
effects are Quarantined and fumigated
at the port of departure, l think the
danger will be reduced TO a minimum.
The action OF this Government in
returning japanese TO their home re-
ceived the support OF the people in
Washington without raising any par
ticular excitement. OF course, due al
lowance was made for the exaggerated
reports of the Honolulu correspond
ents, so that no serious thought was
given TO the rumor that Japan would
use force in landing her people"
Referring again TO the probable
prompt action of the United States in
the matter OF annexation, Mr. Smith
advanced the theory that the difference
Of opinion as to status of the territory
might delay matters. They don't seem
to know what form Of Government we
should have. Those whose friendship
for Us is lukewarm are afraid We will
want 10 be admitted as a State, and
then there will be clamor for two
more Senators. The form of admis-
sion is one Of the nice details that must
be arranged, with due consideration
for the conditions which exist here"

MURDERERS ARRIVE.
Molokai Men Arrive-One OF the
FiendS Escapes.

rlSnuS Escapes.
The steamer Mokolii arrived close
upon midnight last night with two of
the men implicated in the recent Molo-
kai murder. They are Sam Ku, tall,
half Portuguese, and Sam Paahao, a
small, wiry Hawaiian Both were in
irons. and as soon as they arrived,
were taken in charge by Lieutenant
Chamberlain and a number Of officers
and removed TO the station house.
They exhibited no signs of depression
or fear, but seemed to be in the very
best of spirits.
1t seems that on Monday morning at
3 o'clock three natives-Noah, Sam
Ku and Sam Paahao-met in front of
McCorriston's place at Kamalo, osten-
sibly with the intention of going goat
hunting. Noah was the first on the
spot: the other two came later.
Instead of going goat hunting they
went to the store of Asana. They were
after hard cash, which they knew was
quite plentiful in the Chinaman's
strong box. There was but one way to
get to it without resistance, so they
murdered the owner of the establish
ment and choked his wife into insensi-
bility.
On Wednesday the men were given a
hearing, and then the whole horrible
story Of the Draining of the Chinaman
came out. Noah plead guilty to muir
der, telling how he had Drained the

Mr.. McStocker Writes to Captain
Sakata of the Kinai Maru.


Sakata OF the Kinai Maru.
The investigation into the cases OF
the japanese brought by the S. S. XII
mai Maru several days ago has been
finished with the result that $40 out
of the 6S2 have been rejected by Col
lector General of Customs James B.
Castle. This leaves but 1873 for the
Islands. Deputy Collector General F.
B. McStoeker sent the following letter
TO Captain Sakata of the S. S. Kinai
Maru yesterday morning:
HONOLULU. H. l.. April 16. 1897.
Dear Sir:-Accompanying herewith
please find list of passengers by the
S. S. Kinai Maru who have been re-
fused landing by ]. B. Castle, ESQ.,,
Collector General of Customs, as the
result Of his examination the 10th and

grant clearance TO the vessel upon
your receiving on board the persons

bonds being furnished for payment of
by. Yours respectfully,

Deputy Collector General of Customs.
ITO Capt. NJ. NJ. Sakata, Command
ing S. S. Kinai Maru."
There is considerable conjecture as
TO what will be done in regard to the
rejected Japanese. To place them on
board the steamer Kinai Maru with
the danger of smallpox breaking out in
their midst should the vessel see fit to
proceed to Japan. is something that is
bothering the Government just now.
The probability of a lot of smallpox
stricken Japanese out on the ocean in
a steamer whose capacity is taxed to
the utmost, would seem to be pretty
hard one to force on human beings.
At all events, the matter is being
seriously considered by the Govern
ment, and ii is probable that matters
will come to a focus today.

L. 5. FLAGSHIP PHILADELPHIA.

The latest dispatches from the Coast
had it that the good ship was TO come
down looking for blood, and that her
officers were prepared to annihilate the
japanese, and wipe every vestige of
their settlements from the face of the
Islands. II the crowds which assem-
bled along the water front when her
arrival was announced, expected to
see the ship steam into the harbor with
guns manned and trained on every cit
iZen of the Western Empire who dared
show himself in the moonlight, they
were destined to be disappointed. The
flagship came TO anchor outside the
reef as calmly as if there were not a
representative OF Japan nearer than
Yokohama. When it was discovered
that she would not come inside the
crowd gradually thinned out, until fin
ally only the cleaning eye of the
lighthouse remained to watch.

Before that he was with Wallery of
Paris and Vander-Weyde of London.
Besides being a photographer, Mr..
Dayey is a cartoonist of note in Lon
don, and his scrap-book contains many
interesting newspaper reproductions of
his pencil work. In selecting the Mott
Smith building for his new base of OPP
erations Mr.. Davey secured one of the
best in the city for light effects. The
rooms were arranged according to his
directions, and the detail is perfect.
The reception room is on the first floor
near Fort street. Here a clerk will
take the orders and arrange for the
sittings of the customers. This room
contains some sample portraits by Mr.
Davey and albums of Island views
Admission to the operating rooms is
by stair or electric elevator to the third
floor. Like the reception room, the hall
and rooms are exquisitely furnished
and carpeted and the walls hung with
paintings by some of Americas cele-
brated artists. One room, fitted with
stationary wash-stand, dressing case,
etc, is provided for ladies, and a
smaller one for gentlemen. A ward
robe contains various costumes for la
dies and children, who desire some
thing out of the usual order, and who
do not wish to go to the expense of
having clothing made for the purpose.
Among the cameras in the establish
ment is one for making life-size pho

photographs, Mr. Davey will make bas-
relief, mezzotint and iridium effects,
which are superior to any others made
These are exclusive with Mr. Davey

more like playing. Harold Dillingham;,
Cunha and l have played on the Cali
fornia tennis courts. Then Godfrey
came up. and he ran up against Weike,
junior player of the club. Godfrey was
beaten. l am convinced we could dc
better on our own dirt courts, as we
are used to them. However, it must
be said that they know how to play
tennis here
Il have not noticed any of the fine
players here who use swift service.
All strength is reserved for net work,

Dangerously Injured.

Kulekana, a young Hawaiian. 16
years of age, was knocked from the
railing OF the second story of the build
ing at the corner of Punchbowl and
Queen streets during the progress of
drunken row Saturday night. He fell
to the ground, with the result OF frac-
tured skull and complete paralysis of
the right side. Kulekana was simply
looking at the fun, when he was struck
in the abdomen and knocked over.
The police wagon took him to the
Queens Hospital, where he now lies
in a very dangerous condition.
Yesterday afternoon four native men
and one woman were arrested in con-
nection with the case and held for in
vestigation.
