MUST WINTER NORTH.
Only Two Government Parties win Get
Ont.

Out
Seattle Wash. But two of the
several parties of surveyors and explor-
ers sent into Alaska by the United
States Covenant in charge OF officers
OF the United States Army will reach
the coast in time to return before the
winter storms block the trails. Since
going into the interior early in the
year, Captain Abercrombie, at Valdes,
Copper river district has been the only
official heard from. The whereabouts
OF the other parties and their chances
OF getting out have been unknown even
to the Government. Last week Cap
tain George Howe, the well-known
Alaskan guide, reached juneau bring
ing authentic information concerning
all OF the parties. Lieutenant Spur
and Captain Abercrombie are the two
officers who will escape wintering in
the north.
Captain Abercrombie left Vades
about month ago and is now reported
to be on Klootena river. 1t empties
into the Copper river some distance
from the mouth. He expects to leave
Valdes for Seattle on October 20th.
Lieutenant Lowe pushed OH ahead with
few men going up the Copper river
and crossing the divide into the Ia (.
mana. He will probably winter on the
Yukon at the mouth OF the river.
Lieutenant Spur went up the johnson
river and expected to come out by the
kuskoquim. He will probably be
picked up by the gunboat Wheeling.
There Is fear in the north that por-
tion of Captain Glenn's party COM
manded by Lieutenant Larned, will
suffer from lack OF provisions.
Sergeant Matthews of the regular
Army, who was sent by Captain Glenn
TO carry supplies to the Larned party,
has reached Ladd Station on Cook 8
Inlet. He could not reach the Larned
party with the supplies on account Of
very high mountains. Captain Glenn
and party went to the Matnuski coun-
try at the head OF Kenla Arm. He is
waiting here for Lieutenant Larned,
who went up branch of the Shushina
river and is headed toward Captain
Glenn's party. Lieutenant Kassner,
who commanded part OF Captain
Glenn's party, is probably well into
the Tanana country by this time.
George Eldridge, geological surveyor
OF national reputation, will have to
winter in the interior. He was build
ing cabins on the headwaters OF the
Shushina river above the falls when
last heard from. He has plenty of
supplies and his men are in good
health.
Professor Georgenson, the agricul-
tural agent sent north by the Govern
ment, has about completed his work
for the year and win soon return here.
lie has located two experimental sta
tions and next year we will be getting
exhaustive reports on Alaskan yege-
table growth. That certain products
will thrive in Alaska has already been
demonstrated to Professor Georgenson' n
!. satisfaction, and now he is going to
ssiiscoyer which are best suited to the
climate. The first reserve or station
rs on the Kenai peninsula, near the
townsof the same name. 1t consists Of
800 sores n excellent soil. From
there the agricultural agent went to
Kodiak island, where he surveyed an
other station comprising Is acres.
Land for agriculture is scarce on the
island, but the rest will be made.

SPANISH lRREGuLARS IN CUBA
MUTiNY.


because They Have Not Been Paid
For Their Services.
New York.-A cable to the Sun
from Havana via Key West says: Over
5000 irregulars mutinied at Cabanas
when the order reached them to dis
band and surrender their arms to the
commander OF the fortress. They be-
long to the corps known as musiliza-
dos. As already known, Blanco wants
the irregulars to disband previous to
the evacuation OF the regulars and
their arms to be carried to Spain. The
musilizados at Cabanas, when the order
was read to them, refused to surrender
their. arms before the salaries due them
were aid. Blanco was weak enough to
suspend the order to disband and
promised payment. The musilizados
returned to their posts and are waiting
for their money.
General Blanoo had only collected
$40, 900 in the Department OF Finance.
The musilizados all over the island re-
main in the same attitude. The rsgu-
lars are also showing great discomfort
and demand their pay. An appeal to
them to revolt, circulated few days
ago at Guanabacoa, near Havana,
greatly alarmed Blanco.
Captain Eaton OF the Resolute called
on Blanco and said tho American
yacht Alfred was unjustly detained in
port under fine OF $500, and that the
Resolute would tow the Alfred out Of
the harbor. Blanco called upon the
Director OF Customs, Arriete, to raise
the fine. He promised to do so, but
did not, so the Resolute tcwed the Al
fred out without opposition.

Keeping One Cow.

The management OF a single COW
differs from that given the herd in the
dairy, as she usually comes under the
care of the whole family, and possesses
a monopoly of attention and privileges
that cannot be afforded under the
wholesale system, writes V. M.
Crouch in the Practical Dairyman.
She is the dependence of the poor
farmer, and her place cannot be filed
by any other animal. But it is quite
business to so manage the family COW
that she may be Of the greatest service,
but how to furnish her with green
food is commonly an important ques-
ton. Where pasture can be had at
small cost advantage is usually taken
of the opportunity, but there are times
and places in which no such oppor-
Unity occurs. If the family possesses
small piece of ground there can be
grown large variety Of green feed, for
early in the season a crop of peas can
be grown for the family, the vines
given the COW, and the whole crop
taken of in time for some other crop.
Small places are made rich in such in
stances when all the manure is put
back on the land. The keeping of
the small farm and family COW have
contributed more than anything else
to the practice of a high system OF
farming, for 1t has compelled the adop-
tion of the best methods in order to at.
tain success.
few cabbages put away in the fall
will help the COW along in the winter,
and q large crop Of carrots, beets, etc.,
enough for one cow, can be grown on
one-fourth of an acre, and but small
piece of fertile land will be required
to grow millet or clover hay sufficient
to keep the COW during winter. A
Jersey COW or grade Jersey is small
and better adapted for family COW
than any other breed, il butter is the
main article to be produced. But il
milk is the only thing in view then
perhaps the Holstein or some other
breed may be better adapted to the
purpose.
have In mind the owner OF farm
OF one acre, whose COW gives him
about 500 pounds OF butter every year,
but II is by good feeding and attention
that she does this, and while he claims
that the profit from her is large, he
admits that his COW would be an ex.
pense II she were an inferior animal.
1t is best. therefore, TO be willing to
pay for good COW, for it ia certainly
cheaper to keep good COW than poor
one. The outlay, though large at first,
will bring in quicker and surer re-
turn than small investment in
scrub. As the family COW receives
kindness as general thing, from all,
the lesson to dairymen is that by care.

The report of s. A. Pease, San Ber-
nardino county commissioner, says
that about 1900 acres have been
booked voluntarily for fumigation as q
direct result OF the quality of last sea-
sons work. One year ago at the be-
ginning of the last season there was
not one acre booked, and people were
very 10th to try what they considered
an experiment. This shows the conf
dence the orchardists have in the work
OF the Horticultural Commission.
During the past month limited
number of trees have been fumigated
for Aspidiotns aurantii, or red scale,
and Aspidiotus citrinus, or yellow
scale, and the usual number of colon les
of the vedalia cardinals have been sup
piled for the Icerya PURCHASE, or white
scale.
Our field outfit for fumigation with
each set1of bell tents consists of thirty
tents, one foreman and three helpers,
table, case 81 sAide with cover, lock
and chain, ca Of sulphuric acid
and rocker, tn raduates-on for
acid and the othef for water-pitcher,
set OF scales, lantern, trays and cups
for cyanide, trays for vessels and forty
five vessels. This latter allows for
fifteen vessels always at the table to be
charged, and enables the men to shift
the tents every forty minutes, and yet
leave the tents over the trees for forty
minutes. This does away with the
loss Of about twenty minutes under
the old system at each change OF tents.
Progress Of FioricuIture.
A census bulletin, recently issued,
affords an interesting exhibit OF the
statistics OF commercial Horticulture.
That Horticulture as an industry was in
the last census for the first time made
a subject OF investigation is not sur
prising, when its late development is
considered. With the beginning OF
the century there was in all the coun-
try but one commercial hsrist lin New
York; and from that time until 1920
but three were added; in 1880 there
were but twelve in all; in 1910 but
thirty-seven: in 1860 the whole
country contained but l78. Yet with
in the last ten years 1900 new concerns
have been established, and $500 since
1870, the census counting in 1890 a
total of 1859 of these enterprises, 3l2
OF which are owned and managed by
women. The value OF the total sales
reported exceeds sl2, 100000 for
plants, and $i4, 900, 900 for cut flowers.
New York is far in the lead, with
sales Of nearly six millions, and Penn
sylvania, Illinois, New Jersey, Ohio
and Massachusetts, follow In order at
long distance, More than 81, 900, 600
catalogues are issued annually.
There is certainly room for great
extension OF this industry In Califor.
MIA, which has shown itself to be 90
we'll adapted to the growing OF flowers,
and especially Of garden seeds.

THE GRAHAM-MARQUARDT CON-
CERT AN ARTISTIC TRIUMPH.
Critical and Fashionable Audience at
the Theater Last Night-Delightfu
Program Rendered.

While the audience at the opera
house last evening to listen to the con-
cert given by Mr.. Donald de V. Gra-
ham was not very large, still it was a
fashionable gathering of Honolulu
people. The Irwin and Wilder boxes
were occupied by theater parties.
The concert was a most artistic sue
cess. Those who participated in it
were down upon the program for two
numbers, but so enthused was the aud
ience over the treat afforded that each
selection on the list was repeatedly en-
cored. The singers were in genial
mood and they very kindly submitted
to the continuous ovations by respond
ing. This made the program double
long.
The appearance of Miss Jessie Reeve
AXtell, teacher at Oahu college and
the contralto singer of the Central
Union church choir, elected tremend-
Gus applause. Her first selection, save
Maria" by Gounod, was very sweet
"The Summer Wooing, Thou Art So
Like a Flower" and The Maiden and
the Butterfly" all pleased.
Mr.. Donald de V. Graham is en-
dowed with a rich tenor voice over
which he is full master. A German
song, entitled "Trumpeter Won Sakin-
gen." and a French reverie demon
strated his capabilities. His other
numbers were "Only Tonight" Il
Love and the World Is Mine," and
"Noel." He was accompanied by Mdme.

KONA RESIDENTS HAPPY
GENERAL INCREASE IN ACREAGE
IN THE COFFEE REGION.
James T. Morgan Brings Encouraging
Reports-Improved Methods in Gull
tivating Heavy Crop Anticipated.

"The people in the districts of
North and South Kona are very en-
thusiastc over the bright prospects
for the coffee industry" said Mr.. Jas.
F. Morgan, the auctioneer, this morn
ing, who returned last night from a
trip to that locality.
"The cultivation of coffee in these
districts is growing rapidly. A good
year. Coffee is no experiment with
the planters now and under the new
improved method of cultivating the
trees which has grown into general
use throughout the district, an excel
lent showing is certain within the
next couple of years.
Before the trees were allowed to
grow of their own free will, but now
they are topped upon reaching cer-
tain height. This gives the tree more
nourishment and as result, the yield
is larger and better.
''In the South Kona district there
has been quite spell of dry weather
of late. On Sunday evening there was
good rain which extended through
out the entire coffee district No dam
age was done on account of the dry
spell, as the crop was all off. The past
crop was light but a heavy one is an
ticipated this year. There was pro-
life crop in 1895. The trees are in
blossom now and everything is lovely.
Yes; Kona people are in good spirits,
and it is the bright outlook for coffee
in the district that is responsible for
this happy state of things"
From Hawaii the news is received
that the South Kona Coffee Company
is plowing fifty acres of new ground
for coffee cultivation. The tract Is
free from rocks.
DR.. McWayne, of North r Kona, is
planting twenty additional acres with
coffee trees. There is general in
crease in the acreage everywhere in
the coffee region.

A change in military regulations IS
about to be ordered, which will prove
of great convenience to military men.
A rack of forty guns will be stationed
in the drill shed to be used by various
companies on drill nights. Lockers
will be put in later for the keeping If
uniforms. When this is uone the Re-

selves at the armory. At present they
are obliged to take the guns and uni
forms to their homes.
