GRIGGs COURIER:
1t has been some time since my
last letter, but do not think me buried
beneath the lava just because ] am
within sight Of burning volcano.
You have no doubt heard many &C.
counts Of the Dewey cone of Mama
Loa, and from what I have seen in
Eastern papers, they were greatly
magnifed, so I will try to tell you as
near as can from actual observa-
ton the straight of it" Just previ-
Gus to the eruption we had some
quite heavy shocks from below, and
on the evening of July sd we had the
heaviest Of all. It made my house
seem to bubble like the lid of boil
ing tea kettle, but dcne no damage
to any property on the island,
though it created very peculiar
feeling, makes one feel so helpless,
can't say admire it, and do not
care to teel any more Of it. Well
the morning of the 4th, about 3
o'clock the Dewey crater sprang into
existence and tons of molten lava
were thrown hundreds of feet in the
air, to the great relief Of everybody
here as from all appearances there
was an eruption pending and no one
knew where it came or how long il
would be coming. Now let me ex.
plain myself. While those volcanoes
are gathering strength the island is
subject to earth quakes; and some
times very destructive. But while
they are active there are no earth
quakes. The crater continued tc
pour out burning lava until July Is
a stream larger than the Sheyenne
river, but it was over part Of the
island where it done no harm; mo-
one dollars worth of property lost ex
cept shoe leather on the feet Of sigh
seers. Well now you probably wan
to know where it is from my place
! It is in the same direction and dis
lance as jamestown is from Coopers
town. The lava came direct oul
way but stopped some go miles shor
of us and looked as terrible as /:

FARMING IN HAWAII.

Undoubtedly some of your readers
and my old friends would like to
know something about the mode of
farming here, it you could call it
farming. Well, bear in mind now I
will only speak of farming by small
farmers, not Of plantations, for that
is something altogether different, 1
will tell you all I can about that in
some other letter.
The ground is dug up with hoes,
for not one farmer in fifty has a
pillow or a horse that would draw one
if he had it. Horses are used here
to pack and do not know anything
about harness. Such things as a
harrow are unknown, they dig or work
the ground up with their hoes and
leave it in ridges so as to plant on
the ridges to keep things out of the
water. Our annual rain fall is some.
thing like 900 inches, but the ground
is very porous and commonly look.
dry, when you stir it, then you find
it is quite wet. The farming is most
ly done here by Japs as we call them
and of course it is done on Asiatie
principles. They raise potatoes and
garden truck mostly, and sell it fol

eggs S cents each.) Now let me
tell you some of the peculsrities OF
vegetable life. You know of course
we never have any frost to kill things
off, consequently some of them don't
know enough to die when their time
comes, but live right along. A
gentleman told me on his honor that
he bought place when he came here
I2 years ago and there was pump
kin vine then bearing and it is still
there and bearing yet. Says he don't
think they ever die. Sweet potatoes
grow and fruit as long as they are
cultivated and fertilized. We have
squash here called Pc pc nola or
Madeira squash that, "once started
always started" and takes the place
Of potatoes 1t is whiteish yellow,
pear shaped.and the size Of a very
large potato. 1t takes the place Of
potatoes when pc snd is excellent
for pickles when green. But there
is another feature with all these long
lived vegetables, it takes long while
for them to come to maturity. Stuff
I planted last January are only com.
mencing to fruit now. Lima beans
last for years, grow vines like grape
vines. Get nice arbor Of til Elm
and you can have them continuously
but it takes nearly year before they
are much good. ;. planted some in
February and they are furnishing us
with fine mess once a week, and by
the time they are a year old I don't
think we can use all they bear. But
oh! don't Northerner get disguised
watching for things to grow. There
were some parties who came from
Seattle when l came. They have
given up all hopes, are now setting
around waiting for buyer.
But Of course they want a young
fortune for their land and the pros
poets are, they will get it as land has
tripled in value, here this summer
Land that was sold last winter for $2s
and $50 is now sold for SIS and 500
per acre.
Will add that it is no use to send
temperature, in order to get it just
change the dates on what l did send
you and it would be as near correct
as could give it. But will say this
much that l have seen the warmes'
winter and the coolest summer l ever
saw.
The worst of it is a fellow ha.
nothing to reckon from. No SCI
time for harvest, the woods are al
ways green. No change in their

notice it. The health Of myself ane

Takes Issue With Statement That Col

in These Days.

ITHACA, N Y: June Ex-Governor
Roosevelt to-day attended the. class. day
exercises of the class of '9s in Cornell
armory. The students received him with
cheers. In his address to the graduates
the governor referred to statements re-
Gently made by several men who had
amassed great fortunes to the effect that
collegiate education is useless in the world
of to-day. He attacked their position
vehemently and said;
Our country could better afford to lose
all of the men who have amassed millions
than to lose one-half of its college-bred
men. We can get along without the men
of enormous wealth, but not without men
Governor Roosevelt then discussed the
desrability of college bred men making
themselves active in the political world
He criticised the position that, because
politics is corrupt, good men should shun
it, holding that the very fact that dis
honesty and corruption exist should be
an incentive to good men actively par
tcpatng and removing evils. The man
who holds aloof merely because, of cor
ruption. he said, is unworthy. of the bless
should be as ready to fight for the best

as in time of war. The duties OF peace
are none the less arduous than those of
war, and he is no thoroughly good Ameri-
can citizen who shuns either;
Speaking directly TO the graduating class

they utilized their great advantages and

the history of the Chicago postoffice was
detected to-day and the arrests of Walter
Porter and John Newman, drivers of mail
wagons at the postotfice, followed. Porter
made a full confession, duplicating New
man. large number of the letters, money
orders and packages taken by the men
were found in their lodging house at 26o
South Halsted street. In the pile were
letters, money orders and checks directed
to all parts of the country and Europe
One check found in the pile was for S20,OOo,
while another for large amount was sent
from Marcus Dalys bank at Anaconda
The fact that the robbers had been IN the
employ of the Chicago postOftice only since
June l, and that all thefts were committed
since that time, while the prisoners were
driving their wagons, makes the scneine
one OF the boldest in the recollection Oh the
