OLD WHALING
INDUSTRY
Fish Expert Max
| ing a Study
| Of It.
RAILROAD KILLED
THE BUSINESS
How Advent Of WhaIers injured
the Hawaiian Race, Morally
and Physically.

Mr.. Cobb who is connected with the
fish commission now making study OF
the fish of the Hawaiian Islands, has
been. during the past few weeks, prose
cutting a study of the whaling industry
and its relation to the Hawaiian Islands
His researches, which at the present time
are necessarily fragmentary. and discon-
nected, are very interesting. In speaking
Of the subject last night, Mr.. Cobb SAID:
1.-The whaling industry was one OF the
Oldest commercial enterprises with which
the name of these islands is associated
Early IN the last century, vessels from
the north put in here for supplies and 10
store their cargo. Even in the latter part
| of the eighteenth century tAe isianos
| were recognized as a haven for the
whalers. During the days when the
catching of whales was at its neight'
| Honolulu and Hilo were about equany
| divioed commercially, and Lahaina out
stripped both of them. The harbor OF
Honolulu at that time was literally a
forest of masts. One could walk ITO"
one end of the harbor to the other ny
stepping from deck to deck. 1t Is esu-
mated that In a good seasop.stha vessels
spent hundreds of thousands Of sdonars
here. All the old business houses In this
city owe the foundation of their fortunes
tn this enterprise. When the railroad
was built across the American continent
| the whaling industry which had been
falling for many years, received ITS
death blow. Previous to that time. OIL
had been shipped around the Horn but
with the introduction of the Central Pa
cific road into the commercial world, this
was changed, and the product was ship
Iped to New Bedford by rail. In the year
1874 there was large number of vessels
crushed in the ice This put a summary
end to the falling industry.
"The gradual decline of whaling was
not noticed by the people of the islands
as sugar was a growing enterprise ant
t the money that had been invested
whaling was now put In the product o
the cane.
s ."rhe Hawaiians made excellent whal
j. ers Often the entire crew, with III
lie exception of the officers, would be mad
at nm of kanakas. The money they oil
tanned in this way did them little goo

VIII Shoot For Medal

The Skagway Gun Club, though somewhat late in the field for a long season. has perfected its organization and made complete arrangements for range shooting The firing point oi their range is at the foot of Holly street. and the targets are to be plac- ed against the bluff across the river. As the surface of the ground is too near the Seepage water of the river. pits could not be dug, but a perfectly safe and convenient bulkhcad of dirt and rocks has been piled in front oi the bluff for the target tender.
 A meeting will be held Wednesday evening, at the Skagway Bicycle Co., .'s rooms. Co elect officers.
 A weekly match contest suit has been arranged. and the rules and reg ulations to govern it have been adopt ed. The shoot will be for the long range championship for which a tro- phy gold medal was offered by Mir. P. F.. Kern, the jewelcr, and was ac- ceptcd in a resolution of thanks by the club
 The field meeting will occur weekly and the range will be 200 yards. Each contestant will be allowed siN shots. and the best marksman at each meet will wear the medal for the week The club member who shoots the best az gregate of scores in five meets be- comes the owner of the medal.

where the steel gangs are now at
work LAYING tho tra.k for thu
Northwestern's double track sys
tenn, Ben Miller, day lahorer
sustained injuries which. although
not serious will lay him no for
some time.
Miller was engaged in what is
called 'nipping,' that is, supports
ing cross tie with q heavy bar,
while the rail was spiked onto the
tie. In the operation considera-
BILE strength is required aud Mil
Ter threw his entire weight onto
the end OF the bar. In some way
he lost his foating aud unable tn
regain his balance fell toward
striking on his night side on sew
eral large bridge bolts alongside
the track. One of the bolts that
had been left in an upright posi-
ton inflicted a very severe wound
iu the side, fracturing rib and
c,using other injuries. He was
brought to this city late this after
noon and given medical attention
by Surgeon Colt, after which he
was takel to his room at the City
hotel.

Observer.
Bro. McCshe has struck the
right lead on the prohibition ques.
ton. This eternal row about the
saloon question is an injury tothe
County and the State. The Mulct
law was passed in order to per-
NIT the saloon in those counties
that want them, aud to keep them
out of such counties as do not de-
sire them, II sixty-6ve per cent
of the population of Harrison
County say they want the Saloon,
there is no good reason why the
prohihltlonists should continually
keep no the row, The saloons in
Mo- Valley were running as near
in accordance with the Mulct Law
as any Saloons are run. and the
city was getting $500 90 per sn-
UNI license fee from them, and
there seemed to be no trouble.
The prohibiticnisss commenced
injunction proceedings aud then
the row commenced. It is notice
able that none Of the business men
OF the city are on the injunction
bond. 1t was not the business in.
terests that commenced the move,
but man who have very little. il
any property interest in the city.
aud the row has been going on ev-
er since. The city lost the s., 900
license fee. aud the Saloons con.
tinued to do business at the old
stand. We agree with the Logs,
4 Observer. that the present method.
OF trying to erfosce the Ma'ct Law
is failure. ard that some othe,
method should be adopted.
] IL the majority of the peopl.
are in favor Of Saloons. Why no,

restrictions and penalties9
