coasts is very fertile and Hawaii ranks first
in agricultural importance.

Another significant fact this week
was that a delegation representing
German firms in the islands called at
the the United States embassy to ex-
press hopes that America will not relin-
quish the islands, and above all not

mean a recurrence of the REVOLUTION

 Some time ago a man named B. F.

He had one sale almost closed, when doubts arose regarding the reliability of Prit- chard. and the firm he represented.
 T. T. Powers wrote to the First National Bank at Los Angeles, in- quiring of the standing of the com psny. The cashier replied that he knew nothing about it, but that be egarded the manager as a sufficient indication of is unreliability.
 Prof. J. NJ. Wollam, formerly of Phenix. but now of Los Angeles, was also written to. He investigated and found ts2Sf there was no such company. though at the business number there is an institution called "The Hall of Inventions and Min ing" l.. W. Morgan, the assayer, knew Pritchard, but he said that individual changed the name and place of business so frequently, that he had been unable to keep track of him.
 Secretary Spangler. of the Cham Der of Commerce, also made some inquiry about Pritchard through a well kn1 wn Los Angeles business man. He krew great deal about him, aud summed up his advise to inquirers in this: "If you are going to do any business with Pritchard, do not do it at all. ."-Phenix Re-
