Among the many departments for
the benefit of agriculture and commerce
carried on by the United States Gov
ernment is the Weather Bureau. The
reports OF this bureau are of the
greatest service to shipping in warning
vessels in port of impending storms.
Undoubtedly If Governor Dole will call
the attention of the Secretary of the
Interior TO the importance of establish
ing station observers on the principal
Islands Of the Territory the subject
would be given immediate attention.
Stations have already been established
in Puerto Rico and Cuba. The shipping
and agricultural interests of Hawaii
are of equal importance to those of the
Islands named.

Queer Return of Two Rings.

Indian Agent Logan OF Browning.
Mont, told a night or two ago of an in
teresting experience he had while out
| in the far Northwest. His father, Cap
tain William Logan. was killed in a
fight with the Nez Perces at Big Hole
% years ago. When his body was re-
covered the little finger had been cut
of at the second joint and two rings
worn on that finger had been removed
Two years afterward his son. now the
Indian agent, came across a Blackfoot
Indian who wore seal ring. Upon ex-
animation il was found to be one of
the rings worn by Captain Logan. The
Biackfoot who had it had obtained it
from another Indian. who, in a fight,
had killed the Nez Perce who wore it,
and had removed it by chopping OF
his victims finger, Just as Captain Lo-
gan's finger had been amputated
Twenty-Five years after the battle in
which these rings were captured a
squaw at the Browning agency at
tracted the attention of Agent Logan
by ring worn on her finger 1t was a
plain gold band. on one side of which
was Maltese cross in red enamel. and
on the other side the square and COM
pass engraved II was his fathers sec
ond ring. The squaw who wore 1t had
traded some pelts for it and knew
nothing of its history. Agent Logan
wears the seal ring on his third finger
and the Masonic ring on his watch
chain He will not venture to try either
ring on the little finger. Recalling the
rude method adopted TO get them OF
OF two fingers. he prefers to try one
on another finger. just to change the
program In case an enyious person de-
sires 10 obtain it without bis consent

AN EXTRA SESSION.

The subject OF holding an extra ses-
sion of the Legislature should not be
decided hastily by the Governor and
his advisors. There are many argu-
ments pro and con as to the advisable
ity OF holding an extra session. and
sufficient time should be given for con-
sideration OF the subject for all inter
esss 20 be heard.
In the abstract The Republican be-
lieyes an extra session should be avoid
ed. as extra sessions OF legislatures are
almost always provocative OF great ex-
pense 10 the State without any result
ant good being accomplished. But
there are so many subjects needing
legislative action in Hawaii that il
is serious question whether or not sn
extra session might not be well worth
many times It's cost
The chief demand for an extra ses-
sion comes from the Island OF oahu.
Undoubtedly the sentiment OF the other
Islands is against sn extra session. the
people feeling that the needs OF the
new Territory are not sufficiently
pressing 10 warrant the expense OF a
special election. when the regular fall
election is so near at hand.

sion In Honoluln Is the need Of estab-
