THE future OF Hawaii is in the hands
of Congress" remarked Mr. f. E Thomp-
son. a young but successful lawyer of
Honolulu at the Shoreham. IF the tariff
is to be taken off Cuban sugar to the
prejudice of the planters of Hawaii, and
if the laws in regard to the landing of
Chinese laborers on our shores are not
modified, then the outlook is gloomy in
the extreme. For my part, | fail to see
the justice or expediency of helping
the citizens of an alien Government when
such help operates to the injury Of peo
pie who claim direct allegiance TO the
United States. The labor situation in the
islands is not satisfactory, and II we are
not allowed to import the Chinese. who

The main obstacle to the settlement

George f. Bent. who is engaged in mining
in the southeastern Iart Of that Terri
tory. to 4 Times reporter at the Shore

to extend the land laws of the United
States to our country. a great deal of
sentimentality is wasted Oh the Indians
up our way, but the white people have
been left out in the cold to struggle
along as best they can.
Il believe there is a great future in
store for Alaska as soon as il gets proper
consideration at Washington. In my i'm
mediate section there is great activity in
copper mining Not far from me is the
famous Treadwell gold mine, The greatest

tons of ore a day. 1t operates $50 stamps

There is only one way to cure deafness.

Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
