Not if l were as rich as Croesus."
recently objected an American who is
supposed to be worth S400,000,000. Un-
happily for Croesus, "the bubble repu-
tation" may petrify as well as burst.
Archaeologists digging among the IL
braries of Asia discovered the inven-
tory of Croesus, and found that that
fraud of a millionaire was worth only
100000. America swarms with Croe-
suses who could buy up the typical
rich man of the olden time.

In northwestern Montana, near the
British line, there Is lake the waters
OF which flow through the st. Mary
river to Hudson bay. The divide be-
tween the lake and the head waters Of
the Milk river. an affiuent Of the Mis-
souri,. is SO low that engineers say It
would be feasible to divert the outlet
from Canadian to American territory.
AS water for irrigation is aighly val
ued on both sides of the line, the ques-
ton whether the United States has .
right to divert 1t is one of interna-

Change of DIplomnts

The following changes in diplomatic
posts have been announced:
Francis b. LoOmis, minister to yen-
ezuela, has been transferred to be min
lster to Portugal. vice John n. Irwin
Of Iowa, resigned.
Herbert w. Bowen of New York,
present minister to Persia, has been
transferred to Caracas, succeeding Mr..
Loomis as minister to Venezuela.
Lloyd c. Griscom of PENNSYLVANIA,
present first secretary of legation at
Constantinople, has been made minis
ter to Persia.
Spencer +. Eddy of Illinois. present
second secretary Mt Paris, has been
made first secretary at Constantinopie,
to succeed Mr. Griscom.
Arthu. Bailey Blanchard of Louis
lana has been promoted from third to
second secretary at Paris.
The change, so far as it concerns
the Venezuelan ministers, is said Mt the
State Department to have no partic-
ular political Significance Mr.. Loomis
goes elsewhere than Caracas at his
own request and desire. 1t Is true that
the Venezuelan government has ex-
pressed dissatisfaction with Mr.. Loom
is in more ways than one, but the fact
that the minister is not removed from
the diplomatic service but is given an
other post of equal dignity and honor,
is mark of esteem of the State De-
partment. 1t may be noted also that
Mr.. Bowen, the new minister to Car
acas, goes to his post with instructions
on the same line assthose supplied to
Mr.. Loomis, which formed the basis
for his action, so that Mr.. Bowen, who
is a man of great vigor, is likely to fol-
low Mr.. Loomis' footsteps in the mat
ter of policy.

The Philippines touch closely upon
the gutta percha belt, yet the tree does
not grow there indigenuously, and it is
at least very problematical whether it
can be cultivated there. 1t will not
grow in Cochin, China. likewise near
the gutta percha belt, because the av-
erage temperature is too low and the
changes too sudden.

Metropolitan Meat Company VIII Have
Slaughter Houses In Kalihi-Flumes
TO Carry Refuse to Sea.

The Board of Health and the Metro
politan Meat Company came to an
agreement yesterday whereby the
slaughterhouses will be removed from
Iwilei, in accordance with the decision
of the board some time ago. The COM
pany will move to Kalihi, where 1t owns
a lot of land and will construct a
nume $50 feet lon to carry refuse out
to sea. It is understood that a right of
way for such trough can be secured
from the United States Marine Hospital
service, which controls the Intervening
land.
Cecil Brown appeared before the board
i'm behalf of the Metropolitan Com
pany. He stated that when the right of
way had been secured the company
would agree to move within 80 days.
This much time will be required to erect
new buildings and make arrangements
for the transportation of meat. Brown
wanted some sort of an assurance that
the slaughterhOuses would not be moved
away again in the near future but the
board could not give such assurance,
not being able to place any restrictions
on actions of future boards.
Il. f. Porter protested against re-
moval of his pig pens from Iwilei. He
said they were carefully looked after
and were sanitary but members of the
board who had been there thought diff
ferently. DR.. Sloggett read from the
minutes of a meeting eighteen months
ago, when the board decided that the
pig pens must go.
Porter said that when slaughter
houses were ordered moved from an I'M
desirable location in San Francisco, the
city provided a new site and gave a
guarantee that there would be no sub
sequent order for removal He wanted
Honolulu to do the same, but Attorney
General Dole said that the board GER
tainly had no power to do so. Porter
said that he had no site as the Metropo-
Titan Meat Company owned all the land
at Kalihi. Moving the pig-pens would
cost from three to four thousand dol
lars.
The matter of moving the hogs was
postponed until the next meeting, for
further consideration, but with the I'M
Outstanding that the removal must take
place. and that the Iwilei premises must
be made sanitary.
