1 The PACIFIC CABLE

It is reported from London that the
Commercial Pacific Cable company, OF
which the late John Mackay was presi-
dent, has contracted with the Telegraph
Construction company Of that city to make
and lay the portion OF it's Asiatic cable
between Honolulu and Manila to be COM
pleted by June, 1903, IL the necessary
soundings are provided. The San Fran
cisco Honolulu section is nearly done
2,400 miles) and will be shipped from
Woolwich in August. The company has
two cable-laying steamers with capa-
city of six thousand miles Of cable, and
the work will be accomplished promptly
and with celerity3and the Honolulu section
will be in working order by November.
The government has already made care
full soundings Of the cable route, but 1t
has not been willing to let the company
have the use Of them as yet, nor has lit
taken any steps to effect contract with
the Commercial company for traffic
tariff for government business, but the
matter has been discussed by the cabinet
and no doubt satisfactory arrangements
may % Mdue. Aue company could make
the soundings again ION its own account
and more cheaply than the government,
but 1t would be a convenience to take the
soundings in Secretary Moody's hands and
the work would be expedited. The gov
ernment will get rate of one-hah public
rates to Honolulu and Manila, which will
be reduced to 81 per word from San Fran
cisco to China or from San Francisco to
the Philippines, saving Of sl.s5 per word

over the former rate. The Commercial
Cable company reduced rates for transat-
lantic messages from IS to $3.50 for ten
words and reduced cable rates to the West
Indies from 40 to go per cent, to Porto
Rico the reduction being from $1.91~ to IS
cents a word. - -.s"r x . {
The abandonment Of the project to build
government cable between San Francisco
and Manila was wise, as the cost Of such
government work would have been excess
sive and would have been accomplished as
work In competition with private COM
pany which had presented a contract to
the department Of Justice based on the
post roads act of 1856, guarding and pro-
tecting every conceivable government in
terest and guaranteeing to complete the
cable in two years and construct it alto
gether on American soil. There would
seem to be no obstacle in the way of se-
curing direct cable connection with our
ultimate possession our farthest west,
the Philippine archipelago, and it remains
for the government to make contract fol
cable use. There .wilI be no difficulty
about the further extension of the connec-
tion to Japan and China and Formosa.

JUFROW JINTJE'S WOOING

PEELED by the strong arms of peasant women.
Against the blue of the sky the weather gray
Of the windmils barred the sunlight into

Jufrow Jintje had dropped her knitting into

the slant of the bank to blink at the sun !;
lazy JufroW Jintje-so the maidens of Vaarken
called her-truly an alien, for under the close
white cap that she hated with all her soul
the little black curls crept out to frame the
sweet curves Of the dimpled cheek, warm with
the sun kissed olive of another land.

brass-ralled stoop led out to the market

HANsKA's COOPERATIVE STORE

The Red Wing Argus gives an inter-
esting account of the successful co-opera-
tive store conducted by farmers at Han
ska, Mimi. Cooperation, SO successful
in Europe, such failure in America,
makes almost no showing in this country
outside Of rural districts. The co-opera-
tive creamery has been great success,
and so have the farmers elevators and
township mutual insurance companies
But the farmers have not in recent years
entered purely mercantile business to
any great extent. Still, this farmers
CO operative store at Hansl1a is the only
successful cooperative trading company
that we know OF in the state.
The Hanska store Is not strictly CO.
operative in the English sense. In its
actual organization it is only common
stock company. 1t has 165 shares and
each OF these is owned by man who
buys goods from the store. There is
no dividend on every purchase, as in the
English system. The 165 divide among
themselves as profits what the store
makes from the purchases of persons who
The store began business in 1898 with
a capital Of less than $500, derived
from the sale Of shares at $15 apiece.
The frst stock, Of less than $4,000 In
value was obtained on credit. From de-
ferred4 dividends the company has now
accumulated a working capital Of $4,000
and has started a sinking fund. The an
nual turnover now amounts to- about
$50, 600 s&s~ -
The members Of the corporation get
their goods fully as cheap, If not cheap
er, than as if they bought them from
private store, and they have the final
cost reduced by the dividends. Hereto
fore these have been per cent year,
one fourth of each years profits having
so far been retained in the business.
That It's spirit is essentially o-opera-
tive is shown by the fact that new mem
bers have been admitted from time to
time, in the face Of the temptation to
limit the membership and divide large
profits among comparative few.
There Is some talk to the effect that
this Hanska experiment is to be imi-
tated to a considerable extent by Mime
sofa farmers, who hope thus to cut out
the middleman's charges. limitations may
or may not succeed. Cooperation, as a
general proposition, has been failure in
America, though 1t has been a nonu-
mental success in England, Scotland, Bel
gium and France. American are, as a rule,
too Independent, too individualistic. to
pull we'll together outside Of the regular
corporate form, which usually evolves
into the management Of the business l'y
the controlling stock interests. The Han
ska experiment may be due to the amiable
character Of the shareholders and to ex-
ceptional good fortune in getting and re-
tanning managerial ability. limitations
with even better initial prospects may
fail. All OF them will have an uphill
road at first, because they will incur
the enmity Of powerful established en-
terprises which will fight hard to prevent
trade diversion. 4
