would allow the shipment of greatly
| needed and absolutely necessary sup
!! plies TO the other Islands and would
still preserve the quarantine intact
The President said he fully agreed
with the suggestion and thought il was
| sery necessary to keep the communica-
ton with the other Islands unbrOken.
President Cooper then brought UP the
matter of crematory for the refuse of
the city, saying he thought such Gre
maTory should be permanently estab-
lished here He asked for the views OF
DR.. Day.
DR.. Day said the matter of refuse
or garbage crematory had been some
thing of HOBBY of his. He thought
that in a tropical climate like Hawaii
il was necessary to destroy ali rub
bish by fire. If we could have the city
cleaned every day and have the rubbish
burned it would be the cleanest city in
existence. OF course it would cost
from six TO ten thousand dollars year
TO do this after the crematory was es-
tablished, and 1t would probably cost
$4,000 to build the crematOry. which
should be of the very best construction.
AS 10 running the crematory, it would
not be expensive as far as fuel is con-
cerned, as the modern CregnatOry is so
constructed that after it is started the
refuse itself furnishes the fuel, and
provision is also made for the combus-
ton Of the resultant gases. He thought
it would be doing Honolulu the best
possible service TO construct one here.
1t would only take TWO or three
months.
President Cooper said he endorsed
the proposition OF a crematory, but
thought there would have to be a spe-
cial appropriation therefor made by
the Council of State; thought it should
be done at once. as it may be of use
before the present epidemic is over.
Mr.. George W. Smith said that he
thought the Board of Health might
build the crematory out of the $4,000
already appropriated and when that
was finished they could apply TO the
Council OF State for more money. if
necessary.
Dr. Day said the crematory would be
a blessing hereafter and he believed
public health demanded its establish
ment at once. He did not think gar
bage was suitable material for filling
up lots.
1t was decided that President Cooper
be authorized 10 procure plans and
Specifications therefor 10 be submitted
TO the Board hereafter.
President Cooper introduced the res
Olution voted at the Cabinet meeting
in the morning relative TO securing an
serum from Paris through
French Consul Moet. The matter was
approved.

that wouldn't have given his
right arm, eye or his life to
save Major McConville, but
now that he is gone the proud
est boast of our lives will al
ways be that we fought under
him at Santa Ana.
Feb. 6th.-The three COM
panies of the "Rocky Noun

ed at Santa Ana, were resting
their weary limbs or nursing
their bruises as the case might
be, when an order came to
bury the dead, so several
squads were organized and
sent to guard the PHILIPPINE
prisoners who had to do the
work. We got that job com
pleted by noon, and delivered
the two Krupp guns to Gener-
al Anderson and he sent them
to the 9th Artillery quarters
for safe keeping. About half
past three o'clock we were
ordered to Santa Ana town

talon and company ''D' of

camped with the Wyomings

the nights of the 9th, 9TH and

quarters the evening of the
9th without any very exciting
adventure. At least we had
no fighting and nothing out

INTO THE JAWS OF HE'LL
A Vivid Description of ldaho's
Idols Under Fire.

The long-wished-for chance
to do something came this,
Sunday the 5th, after ten
months weary waiting.
Whether we did our full share
of the fighting let others tell,
but l will say that we did
everything we were told ex'
cept stop after we got the or
der to charge. For the last
two months we have been on
the verge of fight. 1t was
averted only by GOODNESS and
compassion on the part OF the
Americans, which was taken
for fear or cowardice by the
jnsurrectos, OF course it was
bound to come to blows, for
the more we would take from
them the more they would
give, until they finally run the
thing into the ground. We
had been sleeping with our
clothes, shoes, leggings and
belts full of cartridges for
about a month steady; then
getting ordered out every
other night and packing one
hundred extra rounds of am
munition four or five miles to
get a chance to sleep maybe,
half an hour in a rice swamp,

On the night of February
4th we got orders to march to

"F" of the 1st battalion, that
were quarteled at the cock
pit in Pace District moved
about two miles out towards
the front to a big church.
Pace Church and yard is sur.
rounded by stone wall about
three feet high. Inside of this
wall we were halted until day
light for further orders. From
the time we left camp on the
evening OF the fourth here
had been almost continuous
firing on our left and front,
and the whistle of the Mauser
bullets was uninterrupted.
About two o'clock in the
morning when the firing be
came steady roar we were
ordered to the front along the
Santa Ana road. when we
were again halted about hall
a mile from the front of oul
line. While here, two of the
Company "B" men, Sargent
Scott and Private Hall were
shot-some think from the
front, but | think we were

complete; the fire must have
been directed at our officers
for if they shot into the ranks
they couldn't possibly have
missed us; as it was, not a
man got hit. Immediately
after the firing commenced in

sent a squad round back of the
church and ordered the rest OF

Respectful ly Yours,

j. o. LEvANDER.
A short time since we published
in the DAILY PREss an article re-
commencing idle prospectors to
put in the next four weeks pros
pecting on Salmon river while
waiting for the snow to go off of
the higher mou ntains. In that ar
ticle we cited several districts
along the Salm on, particularizing
among others, the Little Salmon
and Rapid river sections. The
publication of that article has evil
IDENTIFY borne good fruit, if the let
ter of Mr.. Leva nder, received last
night and pub ished above is not
exaggerated. From our acquaint-
ance with Mr.. Levander we are in
clined to accept his statements as
literally and absolutely true, and
as an evidence of our own faith in
the mineral we lth of that particu-
lar section we this morning started
out a couple of prospectors on a
grubstake expedition to see what
truth there is in it.
We have always had faith in the
Salmon river country as being full
OF mineral we alth, hitherto un-
dreamed of. In our towns through
that section we have not failed to
notice the ia ct that the placer
gold, apart fl ON the high-water
deposits OF fine gold, is of local or
lgln; and while the enclosing walls
OF that canyon are for the most
part covered to great depth with
detritus brought down in the glac-
ial era, there Is no doubt in orr
mind about va liable lodges of gold
bearing qnartz being unearthed
anywhere along the stream
The field is an inviting one and
well worthy of attention from
prospectors. The climate is mild
and warm and the grass is now
nearly knee high.
"oll IS situa' ed at the mouth of
nace creek, two miles below the
mouth OF Little Salmon river.
