La many parts of "the land
of the free and the home of
the brave" at this time of the
year building operations are
suspended, and every man has
his eye on the coal dealer
while watching the water pipes
showing tendency to freeze
up. In Honolulu where spring
is four seasons in the year,
carpenters may work inside or
out.
The unusual operations of
the past year has had de-
pressing effect upon edge tools,
for, like everything else, they
give way with too constant
use. We have, in view of the
prospective demand, made a
big buy of the finest grade of
tools obtainable in eastern mar
kets; they are what carpenters
and machinists need all the
time and when buying the best
they get is that which lasts
longest and obviates the
necessity of breaking in"
We have the Millers Falls
Company ratchet brace, with
drill attachment. The Elkin's
saw file. Bailey's adjustable
blade, wood and iron base
planes. Steel tape measures,
guaranteed to be accurate.
Two-foot rules in ivory and
bound with German silver
Olmstead'simproved mitre box
es. The New Rogers" foot
power scroll saw with drill and
emery attachments. These
goods are all guaranteed first
class.

we are having every day or

the grass and you can almost
see it grow. The green lawns
of Honolulu are in strange
contrast with the white, snow

at this time of year, but to
have the lawn in Honolulu
always beautiful it must be
attended to.

Cash for Indians.

Special Disbursing Agent M. A. Mess
of the general land office at Washington
has begun on the enrolment of the Wis
consin Winnebago Indians, preliminary to
making the annual Government payment
to them. The amount to be disbursed is
S26. 943.25, which is estimated to give to
each Indian, old and young, $3.50. The
number enrolled in 1896 was 1,412, but
the Wisconsin Winnebagoes are gradually
decreasing, and it is estimated that the
present enrolment will show a decrease
of about twenty. The Indians will be en-
rolled and the payments made at the fol-
lowing places: Wittenberg, Necedah,
Mansion, Friendship and Tomah. The
payment will begin on or about Sept. y.

WRITTEN BY A WOMAN

"A Teacher OF the Indians Draws a

No Dream of Ease.

Among those in Klondyke, the newly
discovered gold field in Canada, just over
the Alaska boundary, who write back
warning letters to their friends in civil
lEation is Miss Anna Fulcomer, grad
,uate of the University of Chicago, who
has been in Alaska a year as teacher
among the Indians under Government
auspices. She has been located at Circle
City, Alaska, but went to Klondyke in
the first rush, hoping to strike it rich"
She writes as follows:
'"Those Low leaving the United States
for Klondyke are almost as certainly COM
ing to hardship, privation and suffering.
They cannot possibly get here before the
CLOSING Of the mining season, and they
Twill find every foot of ground known to
ibe rich in gold staked off and held by min
ers of experience. They will find food and
lodging so high and scarce that it will take

Lumber Hurt by Mold.

AS a rule lumbermen at the head of the
lakes have suffered little from the loss OF
logs by the recent floods. However, the
unusual rainfalls of July have not per-
mitted them to go scot-free, for 1t is re-
ported at Superior that much damage mas
been done to newly sawed lumber on the
docks by molding. New logs cut ana plieu
on the docks and drenched daily with
water have steamed and mold is said to
have put in an appearance in much OF IT,
The effect of this will be to have lumber
which otherwise might pass a high IN
spection be classified as culls and conse-
quently command much lower price IN
the market. The extent Of the damage
resulting from this cause cannot be accu-
rately estimated, but a lumberman VINO
has paid some little attention to 1t says
that it will go far up into the thousands.
Good clear lumber that with fair weather
would be clear of mold and which would
bring, say, 500 or $50 a thousand Will not
be worth more than ST or IS with the
mold attachment. Old logs which num-
Der Of the mills have been saving during
the greater part of the month are not al
fected, as they are practically free from
pitch and are in great measure seasoned
so they are not so apt to be affected by
the weather that has been experienced
recently

JUNEAU ALASKA

There was deliberate plot to wreck the
train, us a coupling pin had been driven
into the switch so as to hold it open and
throw the fast train off the track as it
passed that point. The engine and tender
and the mail, express and baggage cars
were thrown from the track and wrecked.
The coaches and Wagner sleeping cars
remained on the track and none of the
passengers was seriously hurt, although
they had lively shaking up.
A relief train was sent from Indianapo
lis to Thorntown and as soon as the track
was cleared new train was made up for
Cincinnati and the other points. The
train was unusually crowded with pas
sengers.
The officials of the railroad have insti-
tuted a thorough investigation as to the
perpetrators of the wreck. No attempt
was made to rob the express or other cars
after the wreck, and no understanding
of the plot can be ascertained.

the gold fields will have to buy from them.
The transportation companies will thus
Of necessity reap a rich harvest.
"A dog, dog, my kingdom for dog
is the general cry here. Horses have
practically proved a failure here as
means of transportation. They have to
be housed in tents in which fire is kept.
The dogs, however, live on next to moth
ing and often make astonishing time, The
relative value placed on men and dogs is
shown by the fact that could get an ex-
perienced man for my trip to klondyke
for nothing, but had to pay $50 rental for
a dog and had to make contract to pay
SIS if anything happened to the animal"
Miss Fulcomer gives a good report OF
the manners and morals of the camps.
During her residence of year at Circle
City she knew of no murder being commit
ted and little lawlessness. The miners
make law unto themselves, and all tacit-
ly accept it's unwritten mandates.

YACHT RACE OFF CHICAGO.
Most Interesting Contest Ever Seen
on Lake Michigan.

on Lake Michigan.
The Buffalo yacht Enquirer defeated
the Pathfinder of Chicago in Thursdays
big race on Lake Michigan. The latter
abandoned the contest near Waukegan,
and, reversing her engines, steamed back
to Chicago.
The start was made at $50 o'clock in
the morning opposite the lighthouse in the
outer harbor at Chicago and amid the
footing of whistles, waving of flags and
the cheering of crowds on board the mis-
cellaneous craft present, the Enquirer,
owned by w. J. Corners of Buffalo, and
the Pathfinder, owned by F. w. Morgan
Of Chicago, leaped forward and began
the most exciting race ever witnessed on
Lake Michigan.
No yacht race ever excited such interest
in Chicago. 1t is the first race Of the kind
ever to take place on Lake Michigan. 1t
had flavor of sport about it that sug-
gests the contests that made the Missis-
sippi river famous course in the old days
when the Natchez and the Lee filed their
fire boxes with bacon and tied down their
safety valves.
The race was arranged after long de-
bate as to course 1t was agreed that the
owner Of the losing yacht was to present
the winner with 5000 silver cup. Aside

Building and Loan Association
League Meets at Detroit.
The United States League Of Building
Associations held it's annual convention In
Detroit. President Michael F. Brown
read his annual address and Secretary
II. T. Cellaris of Cincinnati reported on
the condition of building association in
terests generally.
President Brown alluded to the organ
ization Of the league year previous to
the Worlds Congress Of Building and
Loan Associations at Chicago in 1893 and
recalled the motto then suggested by Pres
ident Dexter, viz: "The American Home;
the Safeguard of American Liberties"
which motto had been adopted by all the
leagues of the United States. The presi-
dent quoted statement of William
George Jordan that Uncle Sans people
have 11,4S3,31S dwelling houses, which
would make double avenue reaching
round the globe
President Brown gave lengthy review
Of the more salient features connected
with the progress of building and loan
associations from their inception and OF
the mutual benefits derived from their op-
Grafton. He said the past year had not
been BODYBUILDING one, but rather
mortgage-creating period, in which nearly
all the people had had hard struggle.
Wage earncrs Of the land had sacrificed
during the last few years $5,O00,0OO, 900,
or ten tines as much as the assets of all
the building societies of the United States.
The executive committee presented an
important table of associations, member
ship and assets for 1S96-97, covering those
States whose laws require returns to be
made by building and loan associations:

There are only four mining months
May, June, July and August-and even
then the ground never thaws out more
than two or two and one-half inches. The
rest of the year the soil is like a solid

No go prospecting before May or after

of about three hours day. The coolest
