Bonanza Creek, n. w. T., Aug 2l.-
Dick and l are working for wages at
present. We are working on bench
opposite the discovery on Bonanza
Creek. Am getting 81 90 per hour.
Don't know how long it will last, lucky
to get work at all as there are thousands
begging for work at any price. The
man we work for is Rhodes an acquain-
tance of Dicks.
Boats are coming up the river in
great numbers and bringing plenty of
grub and taking out loads of discoursg.
ed people. Plenty of grub, more than
we can all eat this winter. We are
camping in the tent now. Weather
fine but cool nights.
Am feeling fine and in good health.
Not much sickness here. FRANK,

j. III. Boss Writes From Honolulu,


Honolulu, II. l., Sept. I2th-Dear
Brother Frank:-As | have few spare
moments after having arrived here,
will write you, as several weeks have
elapsed since | have had the opportun-
ity of doing so. Our time in Honolulu
is limited as we expect to sail for
Manila tomorrow, will go on the same
boat, the "Scandia."
Well we have indeed been having a
great time here, and also on our trip
over here. The natives are very
peculiar class of people, they are will
ing to trust white person to anything,
and put great amount of confidence
In them. consequently one could take
advantage of them in almost any way
If they were so inclined.
l attended public court this morning,
but do not draw too hasty conclusions,
| was not there under compulsion but
my presence was entirely voluntary.
Having nothing else to do / strolled in
and witnessed several trials. Most of
them were natives being tried for
drunkenness. The judges and all the
authorities are natives, but think most
of them have some white blood IN
them, and | think it quite probable
that after the United States govern
ment takes hold of the place properly,
Americans will be placed in the better
positions.
The wages paid here are very high,
clerks receive on an average about 800
per month. OF course everything
bought is pald for accordingly.
The climate is excellent. l am in
formed that it does not vary 10 degrees
the year around, and the average tenn
perature is about So degrees. Take it
in ali, it would be very nice place to
remain-one of the incest cities | was
ever in. The population does not seem
to be definitely known, but opinions
vary from % to 40 thousand. There
are but three good drug stores, no first
class restaurants, and but one first
class hotel; but that is pretty well up
to date.
We certainly had fine time coming
over on the boat. We had smooth sail
ing nearly all the way over. Every
evening we would all come upon the
deck and there act out some previously
arranged program, consisting of songs,
speeches, etc.
BY the way, was talking one night
with a gentleman, who was a stranger
to me, beng from one of the Pennsyl-
vania companies, and he mentioned
something about Ann Arbor. | told
him of you having graduated from
there, and he said he was a personal
friend of yours. His name is Moore
and | thought him TO be very fine fell
low. He sends regards.
Well, | suppose it will be long time
before | receive any mail from home
Had | known | would remain this long
IN Honolulu, | would have had my
mail forwarded to this place instead OF
Manila.
Well, it is noon and must close VIII
not be able to write you again until
reach Manila Yours,
J. III. Boss.

NO BOULEVARD FOR BUSH.
Supervisors Will Take the Matter
 Under Consideration.

The Street Committee of the Board of Supervisors decided Thursday to let the matter of declaring a boulevard on Bush street rest for the next sixty days.
 Representatives of the advocates of the boulevard urged that the board take inn mediate action in the matter on the ground that the value of property on Bush street from Dupont street west was constantly being Appreciated by the pres ent condition of the street.
 The opponents of the boulevard said that the only salvation for property on the thoroughfare was the building of a railroad on the street. They called att tention to the fact that the grades on the street preclude the passage of teams on certain portions and that these blocks must remain in their present state until they are in some way improved. They believed that the only way to bring prop erty values up to their proper standard was to allow the street to remain open for the building of a street railroad
 The Street Committee was evidently i'm pressed with the arguments of the anti boulevard people, for it laid the matter over for sixty days for more thorough investigation.

 It is certainly worth a great deal more than the amount forecloSed on.
 When Flint fell into the property he had $40000 in the bank, 5000 head Of cattle, farm implements, horses, bug gies, and in fact everything to run the place with.
 AS soon as he came into his rights Clarke got him to insure his life and succeeded in getting him to pay $500O on his premium. Clarke also got him to start up this Marble market and went In as manager, drawing hand some salary. Then shortly after that Bob be~an going in bad company, which brought him to his present po- sition.
 Baron von Schroeder tried to gain possession of this property but failed. He wanted to exchange for it his San Rafael propertv and was willing to add money to the OCT, but knew that the San Rafael property was a white ele- phant on his hands and did not want it. He tried to trade with Bob, but that also fel. through.
 The interest on the property costs of suits, lawyers fees make the orig inal sum run up to $125, 900. I have given Bob the privilege of selling at a certain sum of money. Should he sue ceed in selling it, I will make deed to the purchaser. He has until the first of next month

seemed to incline to the gody for time,
az they had the money and refused to
give il up, and money is considered to be
the sinews of war; but the final result
seemed afar off But rs good general
ship counts for a good deal, so in this

waiting for an opening, and it came
few weeks ago. They started out on the
quiet and took up II collection, sent off
and got four dozen chairs, and last Sat-
urday the final broadside was fred into
the enemy, when the chairs were hauled
over to the school house and placed in
position. The occasion was celebrated
Sunday with Sunday school, some fine
singing, and preaching in the evening by

KIONA.

A ripple OF excitement has swept over
this otherwise quiet community. IL
feeling has existed for some time between
two factions known as the godly and the
ung0dly. And as the bone of contention
has been a big one. it is not to be Won
dered at. The school directors for some
time have objected to the use of the
school room for church purposes. and as
there is large room in the building not
used for school, they set it aside for such
purposes as the church people seemed fit
to use it, provided the community would
seat the same. Therefore, several socials
we're given last winter to raise money to
buy furniture. But here is where the
trouble (bone) commenced. The godly
wanted benches and the ungodly chars.
and neither party were willing to give in
to the other. The result was that war
was declared, with varying successes for
