An orderly of the battalion of
the Sixth Artillery, forming the
new garrison at Honolulu, has
been going from house to house
along the Waikiki road, seeking
information and leaving request
for further information when such
may be available. People are
asked il they have been missing
any green fruit. A number of
the men had been taken i'll from
what was suspected as that cause.
The major was determined to pre-
vent the indulgence. People
would confer a favor If they
promptly notified headquarters OF
any instances of soldiers asking
for or taking fruit without the
asking. Also, of any sort of mis-
conduct On the part of the men
belonging to the command. This
action shows the difference be.

respective men by regular and
volunteer officers.

COLORADO GOLD.

No one need be surprised if Colo
rado beats her record of last year
by $4,000, for there is no room
for surprise in such matters in a
great gold state like Colorado.
Every year adds its hundreds of
producing mines and every year
producers get better This year,
with an abundance of water, the
placer fields will add millions to
the output. Business is getting
better, The mine owners are buy
ing improved machinery, Eastern
and home capital is being invested
in new mines There is n manifest
revival in every line While the
people may make estimates and tell
what the next five years will bring
in Colorado there is none of them
optimistic enough to paint the fu-
ture as bright as it really will be.
Five years ago the man who said
that Colorado would produce over
S25, 100000 of gold in 1898 would
have been laughed at, Today the
man who looks into the future with
the same sort of lens is said to
be hysterical The Times admits
that Colorado is so great that it is
