The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1899-09-20

Invention, progress, Improvement
never stand still. Although there is
general impression that steamships are
rapidly dsplacing sailing vessels as the
carriers of ocean freights, and that the
days of the sailing vessel are number
ed, improvements in sailing vessels are
being constantly made. Invention and
adaptation never grow weary or
cease. 1t is true that steam is displac-
ing sail for general purposes, but sail
ing vessels hold their own in special
lines and for special purposes. And in
Vention finds room in adapting them to
these special purposes. The introduce
ton of iron rigging is a case in point,
the first example of it in this port being
the Obed Baxter which arrived lately.
In another direction four, five and even
six masted schooners are replacing the
older square rugged type, enabling a
large carrying capacity to be handled
by fewer men, thus enabling sailing
craft to still compete with steam on
the ocean. The construction of the
Nicaragua canal will be another blow
to sailing craft, doing away with the
long vayage around the Horn, where
distance makes coal consumption a
greater factor than seaman's wages
multiplied by time.

COFFEE AND SCHOOLS.

The proposal of the coffee planters of
Kona that the long school vacation
shall be in September and October in
the coffee districts, is one that deserves
attention. They ask for it then in order
that school children may have oppor-
tunity to be employed in gathering the
coffee crop. There is no radical innova-
ton in this. In the agricultural regions
of the mainland the terms of school are
adjusted to meet the needs of agricul-
ture on exactly the same principle that
is proposed in the coffee planters plan.
Coffee is a crop of which great hopes
have been entertained that it would
build up in the Islands class of indie
pendent farmers, establish homes and
homesteads and attract immigrants of

HILO WATER FRONT.

Hawai- has reached that stage of de-
velopment where public utilities have
assumed a great and rapidly increasing
value, and we are already having forced
on us some of the economic issues to be
settled as political measures, which en-
gage so much public interest and atten-
ton on the mainland and in England.
The contest for the waterfront of Hno
between the two railroad companies
seeking terminals there, makes the Is
sue a live and practical one. The suit
lately determined by the supreme court
between the Government and the Oahu
Railway e. Land Company over rights
in the harbor, was comparable in some
of its issues and aspects to those of the
great Lake Front" case in Chicago,
which was fought through the courts
and in the forum of public discussion
for twenty years. 1t was similar In
some aspects to the Oakland waterfront
case which also attracted national at
tention. The same question arose In
New York and was settled by the or
ganization of the Board of Dock Com
missioners and the purchase by this
board for the people of all private dock
and wharf rights.
In principle the same issue arises In
the Hilo controversy.
1t is fortunate that in Hawaii public
ownership of water frontage and other
public utilities has been long establish
ed. To avoid such contests as the peo-
pie of Chicago New York, Oakland and
corporations and interests seeking 10
control what in their nature should be
owned by the public, requires only a
vigilant public sentiment to see that
permanent rights are not exchanged for
temporary advantages.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1899-09-20

small means but good character and in
dependent spirit. 1t is an industry that
requires large number of laborers
during a short season of the year, but
the labor required during this short
season is of a kind that youth can per-
form as well as adults. 1t is one of the
few industries of the Islands in which
the efforts of the whole family of the
planter can be utilized.
There can be no objection from an
educational standpoint to the purpose
of the proposed change. The employ
ment proposed is somewhat in the ma
ture of manual training. While that is
not its object, nor is it the best designed
employment for that purpose, it must
of necessity train to some extent the
hand and eye; teach adaptation of me-
chanical means to useful ends; give
manual and muscular dexterity. Capa-
BILE teachers can find in the practical
lessons of coffee picking a basis for
illustration and concrete example of
many things in the school curriculum.
1t can be made useful adjunct 10
school instruction.
There is also another way of looking
at it. If children are needed to help
gather the coffee crop, the constant ten
dency will be to employ them at it
whether school is in session or not, and
the most efficient system of truant
agents can not prevent it. In fact, the
effort to prevent it will simply cause
friction and dissatisfaction among the
patrons of the schools, causing defiant
or negligent spirit among the pupils in
the school, spirit that is disastrous to
efficient school work
But with the long vacation so arrang
ed as to cover the coffee picking season,
all this will be avoided. The school
work will be uninterrupted, the coffee
industry will be aided and thereby the
welfare of the country promoted.

Editor and Manager.

Only last week we examined the beer
brewed by the Capital Brewing Com
pany of Olympia, WASH, and it is q
perfect illustration of the quality of
beer which we are always glad to COM
mend for the analysis showed it to be
entirely free from any trace of any in
furious substance. Such a high grade
of beer is most beneficial in it's use, for
none of the pure malt and hops have
been displaced by harmful ingredients.
Every hygienist will concur with us in
saying that a beer of such superior eX-
cellence is a very wholesome beverage.
Physician often have occasion to pre-
scribe a pure beer for cases of debilita-
ton, and they can safely order this
beer, made by the Capital Brewing
Company.

He complained bitterly to his friends

SITUATION IS CRITICAL
Conflict Imminent Between Mex
lean Troops and Yaqul Indians.
GENERAL TORRES PLANS
Expects to Make a General Sweep OF the
Belligerent Warriors in the Yaqui
Valley - Machine Guns
Are Useless

Bacatete, Mex, Aug. IS, via Potam,
Mex. Aug. 2O.-The situation along the
Yaqui river from Medano to Torrin has
now reached it's most critical period
The Indians have commenced their
passage to Pitaya and Bacatete. The
main body Of the warriors are reported
to be in the vicinity south Of Bacum,
while the remainder Of them are scat
tered through the woods as far down
the river as Medano in small bands,
numbering from four to so.
The inhabitants keep themselves
close within the town limits and espe-
cially the peaceable Yaqui element. A
small band of renegades approached
the river bank opposite Potam yester-
day afternoon and made an effort to
drive off some mules, but were discov-
cred and retreated. General Torres
entire field command Is now at Chu-
mampaco, four miles above Torrin.
The generals next move will be to send
out an advance column to a favorite
watering place of the Yaquis. Other
detachments which will follow are in
tended to form a line across the four
miles of wood along the river An ad-
vance will then be made down the
valley almost to the sea, with the pur-
pose of clearing the valley OF the en-
emy. 1t is the opinion of many who
know the Yaauis well that this removal
of the scene of hostilities to the noun
tains will be more advantageous to the
Indians than to the troops.
\ detachment of the 18th regiment,
under Captain Morales, leaves Potam
this morning for Chumampaco and 100
men of the 11th will start in the morn
ing for the same destination. The to-
tai number Of soldiers now on the
Yaqui river is $500. About 1900 of
these are in the field and the rest sta
toned at different points along the
river doing garrison duty
The Don Lorenzo, small steamer
plying between Potam and General
Torres camp, was attacked by the
Yaquis Tuesday, but got away with
one killed. Captain Mcdonald,
Scotchman, well known in Ell Paso,
was wounded. in the shoulder during
the skirmish. General Lorenzo Torres
is so far recovered from the wound in
his thigh that he expects to take the
field again within 10 days. One hun
dred volunteers have been organized In
Hermosillo and will leave for the front
via Batamotal.
The soldiers of the 18th arrived in
Potam on their march to join General
Torres, whose command left the lower
river yesterday from Torrin. and they
will be given three days for a much
needed rest. They are footsore ard
sick and bordering on the condition OF
being entirely unfit for duty.
1t has been found that the machine
guns, of which so much was expected.
are a complete failure in the fiat Jun
gle river country, as the Indians usu-
ally fight in small bands when they
enter the mountains. The guns are eX-
pected to be of little service there also.
In the last engagement the troops
fought with a Colts automatic gun,
which was brought into action, but was
broken by unframed hands before it
was felt by the enemy.
