Make Complaint.

Many Of the merchants in this city
are complaining OF the refusal of the
Spreekels Company to take freight for
Honolulu on their through steamers frou,
San Francisco. This rule is especially
hard on the local people at the present
time Agents of local firms in San Fran
cisco are writing that space on sailing
vessels now there is taken and no prom

two months yet. For this port there Is

A Lone STAY.

The steamer Ventura sailed for the
colonies yesterday morning shortly be-
fore 10 o'clock. As she arrived several
hours ahead Of time. however, she left
here on good time to make mp for what
she lost while here. The reason for <
delay was the great amount Of coal
she had to take at San Francisco she
was unable TO take sufficient coal to last
aer to the Colonies. and she had TO fil
her bunkers az this port. The voFk of
coaiing her was done very quickly under
the supervision Of Captain Clarke. and
FOR the poor facilities that she has for
working coal quickly. good record was
made with her this time. She coaled
from both sides at a time.

THE ONLY SAFE GROUND.
Moderate Drinking May Lead to Elk
cess, But Total Abstinence
Never Does

In discussing the distinctions be-
tween the terms Temperance" and
total abstinence" it is important to
consider their influence on the young,
whose opinions are still uniformed
and whose natural desire for pleas
ure will prompt them to choose the
path which promises the greatest
liberty. A rigid insistence on mod
Grafton" as a synonym for temper
ance" when applied to drinking
makes it dangerous principle to
recommend. That kind of temper
ance looks very alluring at first, but
it often leads by easy stages to all
the helplessness and hopelessness of
the inebriate. All drunkenness has
its origin in moderate drinking, and
while it is true that all moderate
drinkers do not become inebriates it
is equally true that every drunkard
was once a moderate drinller. Each
one started out with the intention
of drinking occasionally-when he
felt like tor when sociability re-
quired it, but with the firm conviction
that he could always let liquor alone
when he wished to. The reason he
failed, while his more fortunate
brother continued along the line of
moderation, was because he was more
susceptible to the poison of alcohol.
The difference was purely a physical
one, but it emphasized the necessity
for total abstinence in his case. Mod
crate drinking is always a trif1e I'M
certain. One is never quite sure when
he will pass the line of demarcation.
Total abstinence contains no pOssi-
bilities of harm. Questions of tenn
permanent do not enter into its con-
sideration. 1t is not a breaker of
hearts or wrecker of homes. 1t
does not cause n man to be dis
charged from a lucrative position or
prevent his accommodating property.
But it does enable man to make the
best use of his ability and is a recog
nized factor in his success. 1t is a
prominent requisite on the part of
all corporations or individuals whose
interests necessitate the employment
of large numbers of men, and it finds
some of its best opponents in the
most successful financiers and the
ablest men of the present time. There
is need of active work along educa
tional lines to the end that the ris-
ing generation may thoroughly I'M
derstand the dangers of moderate
drinking and the great advantages
that result from total abstinence

DIR. LEYD'S STRONG ROOM.
steer safe That Became the Living
SeDulchre of It's Former
Owner

DR.. Leyds, although not a Boer by
birth, has spent so many years of his
life with these strange people that
he may be said to have assimilated
much of their suspiciousness, saws
Stray Stories.
One of his most cherished possess
slons is a case-hardened, fireproof,
steel strong room, which can be
opened only by himself
The safe was originally made for
an Italian banker, who, to effectually
safeguard the interest of his clients
from the predatory instincts of ban
ditti and secret societies, invented
three dials which made it impossible
even if a thief obtained access to the
room, to get out again.
Two of the dials deal with the in
gress, and each dial has two hands,
which have to be placed opposite the
correct numbers before the door
opens. The third dial will reopen the
door when the occupant wishes to
leave, provided the hands are set OPP
posite the same figures as the CORE
spending dial outside.
One day the banker omitted, when
entering his strong room, to reset the
hands of the third dial. AS his MEM
DRY failed to retain the figures en-
ployed on his last visit, the door re-
fused to open, and, as the walls were
too thick to allow of his cries being
heard he was either stifed or starved
to death.
The family of the unfortunate man,
believing that he had been made pris-
oHer by the local banditti, offered
large sums for his restoration. When
repeated rewards failed to restore
him the banker was given up as lost.
AS the strong room contained only
the deceased's private papers, no at
tempt was made to enter the room.
Some ten years later the manager de-
termined to make use of the safe,
and after considerable difficulty hunt
ed up the worllmen who had made the
dials.
The bankers widow insisted, when
the room gave up its CHASTITY secret,
on the strong room being either de-
stroyed or sold.

from which the rice plantations are
irrigated. This prevents the rice from
ripening, or kills it. Within the past
few years about 10000 farmers have
come to this section of country, main
ly from Illinois and Missouri. and are
engaged in rice culture and truck
farming. Their experience has accom-
pIished wonders in the development
of the prairie lands OF this section.
They have put in large pumping plants,
run hundreds of miles of irrigating
canals, and introduced the latest and
most improved harvesting machinery.
This immigration has added millions
of dollars of taxable property to the
states of Louisiana and Texas, and,
in consequence, there are many vii
lagos and thrifty towns scattered over
the country where a few years ago
cattle ranged and the land was consid-
cred almost worthless. When the salt
water runs into the bayous, the planter
must dig wells from which to irrieate

rice culture is attended with more
chances for failure than perhaps any
other crop. The rice farmer cannot
replant, for the water is too high, and
long remains so. Lands in the rice

1t has required energy, persever-
ance and experienced farming to bring
about this wonderful change-trans-

waving rice fields, and country Of
wild grass into one of prosperity and
wealth. Immigratio agents are at
work in Iowa, Kansas, Illinois and

more desirable farmers than from
most other states, as they seem to I'M

have become exhausted, and sunk
deeper, can the theory be settled.
There is luck in drilling wells, as
in mining. The driller of the first
well here had gone 126 feet beyond
the oil stratum, and an accident to
the drill is the cause of the discovery
of oil which made his fortune. He with
drew the drill and discovered indica-
tons of oil. In explanation it may be
stated that in drilling the thick earth
en- formation and water often prevent
the oil from coming to the surface,
and unless one be an experienced
driller he is likely to pass the oil
stratum and not know it, as was the
case with the first gusher, which has
made Beaumont famous, and caused
it to develop into the greatest oil field
in the world. 1t is a curious fact
that some of the drillers when near
ing the distance at which oil may be
encountered, usually 1000 feet, has
ten work, or progress slowly, as the
case may be, so as to strike the oil
bearing sand on Friday. They super
atitiously think that Friday will

on these false pretenses. There are
also experts who profess to be able to
tell where oil exists by surface indi-
"cations. and also to tell how deep it
lies under the surface.
None of these experts have, how
ever, taken advantage of their in
sight and sunk a well on their own
account. Their theories of the ex-
tent of the field and the depth of the
pool, or lake, are as varied as those
regarding the cause of the existence
of oil, which is no nearer solution
than it was ages ago. Some of the
local theorists hold that there are
several strata of oil bearing sands in
the Beaumont field, just as in the
Russian fields, but as the wells here
have not gone beyond the first STRAIT
um, or oil flow, their theories are
mere guesses. Only when these wells

but will not begin drilling well on
Friday.
Drilling for oil is more hazardous
than sinking shafts for gold or sill
YER. The formation of the earth in
dicates the possible existence of
these metals, and to the miner there
are indications that they exist. But,
with the oil driller, there are no in
dications on the surface of what eX-
lists beneath, and he must be guided
only by his theories of the forma-
ton of the country, and he reasons
from those theories that oil should
exist there. Accordingly, he drills q
well, and after he has gone 100 feet,
the indications are no more assuring
than on the surface. He is in the
dark until he strikes oil, or ADAM
dons the well as a cluster" He
may have just missed the oil stream
by a few feet. The man whom luck
seems to follow persistently sinks a
well near by and strikes it rich. In
mining, ore of an inferior grade is
usually found as the shaft progresses,
and some of it at least is pay Ore"
and thus the miner is encouraged by
good indications, and frequently by
the finding of good ore that partly
reoompenses his great losses. But the
oil driller has no encouragement, and
finds nothing until he reaches a
"gusher," if at all. Thus many for
tunes are lost, and only a few are
made. OF the Is gushers in the Beau
mont oil field the reading public hears
a great deal, but nothing is said Of
the 100 busters. They will be heard
1of only when they strike oil. Nor
does one hear of the miner who sinks
his fortune in the earth. But the
bonanza king is heard of, and thou
sands rush to the mining camp or oil
field under the impression that it is
$50 easy to make fortune. The oil
fever is as delusive as a mirage.
Rice culture is another industry that
contains a large element of chance,
but not so much as mining or drilling
>oil wells, nor is there as much chance

quently. This proves detrimental to
his crop. The fiat, marshy lands of tho
gulf coast are specially adapted to
rice culture, and being so near the
gulf is the cause of danger to the
growing crops. Rice must have water,
and plenty of it, and the trouble is that
