a Honolulu Soldiers Letter


DEAR BoB:-
As soon as we landed here, we
went into quarters on be outskirts
Of the city, district called Paco.
We did outpost duty until Feb. 4th,
and from then until now have been
on the guard without rest. Our
company has been stationed at this
place for the last six weeks and it is
daisy"
1t never rains here-it pours.
There are from two to four feet of
water in the streets in which we do
guard and patrol duty. This will
last through the rainy season. You
cannot imagine how we like this
place.
Niger fighting is not what il is
cracked up to be. If they could
only stand up and fight we would
make short work of them, but every
fight develops into foot race, and
they are too doggone swift in these
rice fields for US. Artillery is the
best chaser we have.
We expect to get out of here by
September and are praying that it
won't be later. We have had enough
and are very willing to turn the rest
over to the regulars, as the volun-
teers have done the largest share OF
the fighting.
The Washington Regiment have
done the largest share OF tho fight
ing. We are the second largest
losers in battle, and have been
month longer on the firing line
than any other regiment. Nebraska
is the heaviest loser.
We have participated ia the fight
ing at Santa Ana, San Pedro Ma
carty, Guadalupe, Pasig, Tsguig,
Pateros and Lake Laguna de Bay,
and few other God forsaken places
we never want to see again.
Chickens, hogs and ducks were
plen.i'ui fDr 2 while, hut they didn't
last long We made some good
hauls pillaging also. That is all
over now and our one desire is to get
back to the United States. There
is only one place know OF worse
than this and we have sent good
many PHILIPPINES there by the Spring
field route. .sN

NOTHING is more certain than that
the people have had enough of Demo
cratic Tariff reform to last them for
more than generation. While the
remembrance of the panic years from
1893 to 1897 lasts none but theorists and
others who have nothing to lose will
consent to further meddling with the
Protective Tariff policy. Few others
will care for more experiments with
silver. Good gold money has become
plenty enough since its standard was
established and it is rapidly becoming
plentier. The gold mines of the world
are now turning out more value each
year than mines of both gold and silver
produced together seven years ago
Their output is increasing. Even the
advocates of fiat money can now get as
much gold as they will work for
Tacoma Ledger.

Prosperity in San Juan County.

prosperity IN San JUAN VOuntys
Interest is lower than ever before on
loans in San Juan county," said j. A.
Gould, cashier Of the San Juan County
bank, Friday, at the Hotel Seattle. "We
are banking money at 8 per cent. on farm
properties. This we never did before.
The securities are good, because we have
a prosperous class of people, and they do
not have to borrow very much money
now. Do you know that in all my ex-
perience in San Juan never heard of a
tramp there or Of anyone except the aged
and feeble asking for charity? We are so
far away from the lines of travel, and it is
so announcement for tramps to reach us,
that we are not bothered. They can't
swim across the Sound, and they must
pay their fares on the steamers or keep
away. AS the people of the island are
Woodworking and contented, they do not
breed paupers.
Another thing that has kept us in a
steady financial condition is the fact that
we have never had boom in real estate.
We have no bright, sharp schemers to
boom property. so that we have been free
from the subsequent ill effects of BOOM
ing. 1t may seem like prosperity for real
estate to sell rapidly and at high prices,
but the reaction invariably comes, leaving
everyone in a worse condition than before
it commenced"

The German government has under
taken remarkable experiment in tax
alton in a bill compelling the large
shops to contribute a larger proportion
than the smaller ones to Germany's
revenue. It divides the branches into
five groups, food and drugs. clothing,
furniture, glass and jewelry. Estab
lishments trading in two or more of
these groups and employing more than
twenty-five persons come under the
law. Those engaged in two groups pay
ten per cent of their profits in taxation;
three, fifteen per cent; four, twenty
per cent; five, twenty five per cent.
Shops engaged in three groups and
employing twenty-five persons pay an
annual tax of twenty marks for each
one Of the twenty-five, and ten MARKS
for each additional employee. Stores
with branch establishments will be
treated as if all were under the same
roof. Cooperative stores will not be
taxed under the new law.

ONE of the surest as we'll as one Of
the most satisfactory evidences of re-
turned prosperity is the general ad.
vance of wages. The increase is not
confined to any one section of the
country or to any one branch of in
dustry. From the New England
states, from Pennsylvania, Illinois,
New York, Michigan, Ohio, Tennes-
see, Alabama and other states comes
the same story of advancing wages.
Cotton operatives, iron and steel work
ers, miners. employees of tin plate
companies and other classes of work
men all have profited from an advance
of wages. The commercial agencies
estimate that the advances already re-
ported affect fully IFS, 900 workers.

CAPT. p. HENRY RAY and Lieut.
Wilds P. Richardson, of the United
States army, who had charge of the
klondike relief expedition organized
by he war department under an act of
congress, have made reports to Secre-
tary Alger that should call a halt in
the rush to that far-away region. The
officers agree that the region has great
possibilities for future that is still a
long way off, and that before any
practical development can be carried
on the region should be provided with
numerous roads, as at present the
country can only be entered by a
single highway = the Yukon river.
What is of highest import is Captain
Rays judgment concerning present
conditions:
II do not find anything either in Alaska
or Northwest Territory to justify the
great rush of people to that country or
the enormous investment now being
made in transportation, trading and min
ing companies. In the absenoe
of any other industry, excepting cutting
wood for the river boats, / do not see
anything in the future for over ninety
per cent Of the people now f1ockinp to
that country but disappointment and
Eu1ering."

WHAT TO DO.

There is comfort in the knowledge sc
often expressed. that DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills
every wish in curing rheumatism, PAIN
in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. II
corrects inability to hold water and scald.
ing pain in passing it, or bad effects fol-
lowing the use of liquor, wine or beer
and overcomes that unpleasant necessity
of being compelled to go often during the
day, and to get up many times during the
night. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized
1t stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases. II
you need medicine you should have the
best. At druggists fifty cents or one
dollar.
You may have a sample bottle and g
book that tells more about it, both sem
absolutely free by mail. if you send your
address to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Bingham.

mention that you read this generous Offer

How To Find Out.

Fill bottle or common glass with your
water and let it stand twenty-four hours;
a sediment or settling indicates all un-
healthy condition of the kidneys; if it
stains your linen it is evidence of kidney
trouble; too frequent desire to pass it or
pain in the back is also convincing proof
