Another story gives the Southern Pa
cihc TO the Southern Railway. In both Of
these rumors the name of J. p. Morgan is
prominently mentioned Perhaps neither
of the rumors may be right. II is not I'M
possible that both may be true. The most
plausible theory is that these rumors, like
many others recently, have been started
because the big railway people generally
are buying stocks in each others lines. for
the purpose of the community of inter-
ests." that is revolutionizing plans and
prospects in the railway world.

One OF the most Interesting stories yes
terday and one which accompanied the
most remarkable advance OF the day was
TO the effect that the Union Pacific has ac-
quired the Southern Pacific The story, as
IL was told by one news bureau" was
that interests identified with Union Pa
cifc" have secured control OF the South
ern Pacific. Union Pacific stock sold at
81 IS at the opening, and 1t was strong
all day but during the last hour made
tremendous squirt TO 50 3-S. 1t sold of Z!
the close 10 81 a.. The preferred stock
was also strong. Curiously enough South
ern Pacific, which opened strong at 40 IA,
was very weak in the afternoon, quite dis
grazing its new mother.

Thursday Dr. and Mrs. Roblee returned
Islands, and yesterday the doctor talked
to a Press representative
about the outing. He said, in part:
Our trip was a great success We
were delighted with everything we saw
and learned, and we think we saw and
learned remarkable number of things.
We spent one week at~Honolulu and two
on the volcanic island, Hawaii, among
the pine forests, cane fields and at the
volcano The Island of Oahu, on which
Honolulu is situated, reminds me very
much of Catalina. 1t Is all artificial.
Nothing can be grown without irriga-
ton, and the hills are generally bare and
uninviting. OF course, with irrigation,
the level stretches are made inviting and
very fiourishing and beautiful, but it
was not like the southern islands at all.
Here the dominant feature was tropical
vegetation, rank and wild in its growth,
and lovely in its aspect. For this the
rainfall is responsible Here it is 1S0
to 200 inches a year. 1t rains every day,
and the people even dry their garments
in the rain. Our trip down the coast
from Honolulu to this region was one to
be long remembered. We Skirted the
coast and those of US who We're not sea-
sick Toasted our eyes on falling water
falls in rocky gorges. which appeared
every few minutes, any one of which
would make an American city famous.
In Hawaii the famous sugar planta-
tons are situated They need no irriga-
ton. Where the farms are not, are ba-
nanas, breadfruit, mangoes and every
species of vegetation growing wild in
beautiful disorder. The only likeness to
California anywhere was an occasional
eucalyptus.
The trip to the volcano is through
miles of dense forest, probably the most
enhancing long stretch of road in the
world. The ferns, palms and tropical
growth make one think he is in fairy
land.

aims to advertise only the best in its

lain's Pain Balm advertised therein for
lame back, he did not hesitate in buy
ing bottle of It for his wife, who for
eight weeks had suffered with the
most terrible pains in her back and
could get no relief. He says: After
using the Pain Balm for a few days
my wife said to me. I feel as though

contents OF the bottle the unbearable

PARADISE OF THE PACIFIC

10 the western sides of the island, which
was a delightful drive from start to I'M
isb we went through Sam Parker's
cattle ranch. one of the richest ranches
in the world 1t is located between Maui
nakea and Koha1a. The grass Is rich
and grows thick and plentiful. The cat
tle and horses are fat and the ranch pays
large and satisfying dividends. sam
parker is a native and ran against Will
cox for Congress, but he was defeated
because Wilcox was the Queens choice
and the people love the Queen.
..The volcano is well worth visiting.
For two miles around the crater there
are large cracks in the surface from
which smoke issues almost necessarily,
and the heat In some parts is intense.
From the crater volumes of smoke are
continually pouring.
Zach island In the group is divided by
a range of mountains. On one side the
climate is damp; it rains almost continu-
ally end the vegetation is luxuriant. On
the other side, nothing grows naturally
and the land is a desert.
Concerning the labor question, whicn
was threatening when the islands Were
annexed. believe that it will settle it
