The Last Island,

And now, they say, the eye of the
premier promoter is on the last island
of the group that Is considered in any
way available for sugar plantation pur-
poses. Mr.. Dillingham; is said to have
suddenly and quite lately taken on the
study of the island of Kahoolawe. This
element Of the group, 50 prominent on
the voyage TO Hawaii, is well known
to all 1t has an area of sixty-threa
miles. The general impression is that
it is not nearly so large. In the old,
old days, there was much timber on
kahOOlaWe. 1t has been denuded Of
wood for many years. School General
Townsend says that during his resi-
dence on Maui he was often told by
kamaainas that the rainfall of Maka-
wac district had been reduced by the
removal of KahoOlawe forests, but that
they could never quite figure 1t out,
considering the prevailing direction of
the winds. The soil of KahOOlawe, in
stretches, is deep and rich
and is covered with long grass. The
amount of land to be selected for cane
growing purposes is 40, 900 acres. Ka-
hOOlawe is without much population
beyond some fat live stock. 1t has sew
eral good landings and the contour Of
the land is such that it is believed
water can be secured by the well bOr-

Young burglars.

Two Portuguese boys and Ha-
waiian companion robbed a cottage
near independence Park Tuesday fore
noon. 1t is known that they were ON
the premises for some time. The boys,
carrying plunder, were noticed in their
departure by a Chinese servant, who
gave chase. In the flight across fields
and sWamps and through groves on
the way to the sea, the thieves dropped
some of the property they had secured.
The recovered goods included several
boxes of cigars and pistol. The boys
held to a couple of boxes of cigars and
three razors. The servant believes
that he can identify one or two of the
thieves. The owner of the furniture
and property in the cottage notified
the police as a protest against being
Obliged to depart from the custom OF
a lifetime of always leaving the doors
of his place open.

A Leg AEOat at Sea.

4 couple of young men sailing
yacht up from Pearl Harbor last Sun
day, saw in the water the leg of
white man. They did not care to take
the object aboard or tow it to town
They saw that the leg was detached
roughly from the hip and was still COW
cred with some clothing. 1t is believed
that the member was from the body Of
the soldier recently lost from trans
port leaving the harbor. The sharks
probably found the body. Natives
ceased some days ago to search for the
remains, declaring that the corpse had
probably been found by the sharks.

Illustrations.

The Handbook of Information" is
sued by the Department of Foreign At
fairs is an elegant piece of work. The
covers are handsomely Autographed
with Hawaiian scenes. Two first class
maps occupy a prominent position. The
introduction disclaims any intention OF
booming the country. The various art
icles dealing with different phases of
hawaiian life are comprehensive and
well written. This work was done by
Laniel Logan, a member of the Homo
lulu press for fourteen years. The cuts
are especially fine. Some of the scenes
represented are Honolulu Harbor, Ho-
nolulu, Executive Building, Nuuanu
Pail, Honolulu Homes, Churches,
.-~Aools, Hawaiian Fishermen, Fruits,
Natives Making Pol, IIilo, Volcano,

Some More Changes in Grocery

Further Consolidation Plans-May

wareCo-New Quarters,

One of the oldest houses Of the city
| has Joined interests with two other
well-known firms. A deal was consum-
| mated Tuesday by which J. T. Water
house & Co. consolidated with May e
Mcintyre and the Pacific Hardware Co.
The latter firm will assume charge Of
the crockery department and the stock
of this line now in the Bethel street
establishment Of Waterhouse e Co.
will be moved to the store of the Pa
cific Hardware Co. The space left va
cant by this transfer will then be occu-
pied by the wholesale stock of H. May
& Co.
Except for this change everything
will remain the same for the present
After the erection of the big five-story
building by Brewer & Co. on the prem
ises now occupied by J. J. Egan and
II. May & Co. all the consolidated in
terests will be housed in the same
building
The firm of J. T. Waterhouse & Co.
is one of the old landmarks of Homo
lulu. It was founded in 1851 by the
grandfather of the present members
Of the firm. These are four young men,
Fred, Ernest c., John and George
WaterhOuse. The original store was
opened in Lahaina, then the most i'm
pOrtant city on the Islands Later it
was moved to this city. Several sites
have been occupied by the firm, their
present quarters being occupied in
August of last year for the first time
An interesting contemplated big ad-
vance step on the part of the old-estab-
lished and prosperous grocery house
Of Lewis G Co., was the subject Of
street talk yesterday and the members
of the firm were Congratulated on all
sides. The report is that Lewis & Co.
are the fortunate ones to secure the
Gulick property on King street, be-
tween Fort and AIakea. 1t is further
said that their intention is to
erect on the lot a large building to be
occupied for the most part by their
wholesale and retail business, which, |
during the past few years, has grown |
to fine proportions. Lewis & Co. have
made specialties of catering to fami- |
lies in the retail department and to |
shipping and other large buyers in the |
line. They have long been |
purveyors for the L. S. \. ships |
touching at this port and have a rep |
utation in the States. The house keeps |
an agent on the coast the year round |
the markets and buying at |
periods. The house has |
made money for everybody in the firm |
and the business viii probably be eX-
panded in up to date style when a new |
building is occupied. In their present |
store Lewis & Co. have always made |
fine displays. In new building they |
will doubtless have windows attractive |
as the displays Of such high class es-
adjustments everywhere

Wonderful Freak of Nature.

Perhaps the most wonderful freak of
nature ever known in this section has
been on exhibition in this place since
Monday of this week. 1t is in the form
of double calf from a COW owned by
farmer Christopher Korb of Tionesta
township and was born on Sunday night,
though it died "aborning," as did like
wise the mother which tried to give it
birth. The calf is fully developed and
weighed ITO pounds /; it has two distinct
and well-formed heads and necks; two
spinal chords, and tail with two branches
formed about five inches from the trunk.
Its four legs are perfect, in fact, with the
exception of the legs, which are natural,
it is two calves in one hide. Some who
have seen it and know the value of such
freaks decided it to be truly scientific
wonder, and could it have been kept
alive would have proven veritabe gold
mine for its owner. The carcas will
doubtless be sent to texidermist and
properly mounted. 1t is surely worth
the necessary cost.

The New Grist Mill.

Among new Industries worthy OF spec
ial mention in Tionesta is the grist mill
recently erected by Messrs. +. r. and G..
A. Lanson. The senior member of the
firm, which will be known as Lanson
Bros, is well known TO all our citizens,
he having been in the mercantile busi-
ness here for about twenty years. The
junior member, Mr.. c. A. Lanson, re-
Gently came here from Los Angeles, Cal,
but in his s.. ort residence here has be-
come well and favorably known to most
of our people.
The new mill, which is located on
Bridge street, was built upon the most
modern plans and in short time will be
replete with up to date machinery, but
at present the mill is only doing feed
grinding. The motive power is furnished
by 25 II. p. gas engine of the Standard
make aud it does the work nicely and
easily.
The building, which is 32x45 and four
stories high, makes very material adj
dition to the looks Of the street on which
it is located. The bins of the mill have
a capacity of 10000 bushels of grain. and,
when completed, will have a grinding
capacity offs bushels per hour.
This new industry fills long felt want
in this place and the farmers of this Sec
ton will undoubtedly Appreciate the ad-
vantages gained, and the enterprisiHg
firm of Lanson Bros. is deserving ofcom-
mendation for giving these advantages,
and they should have the patronage of
all who haveany work in this line. Their
ad will be found'in another column of
this issue, and as they say, "Give Us A
Trial" we trust their patrons will be

There is considerable excitement
among some of the residents of Clarion
township at present over the discovery of
what is said to be gold in paying quanti-
ties on the Rhodes and Joel Meyer farms.
Slmples of the goldbearing quartz have
been essayed and pronounced TO be very
rich in the precious mineral. We haye
been shown several specimens of the
rock which are quite prolific in the yell
low stuff and give promise of bountiful
yield. The vein is said to be several feet
thick at the present point of operations.
n shaft will be sunk and the results of
the yield will be awaited with interest.
