HARD TIMES
IN AUSTRALIA
<%<<<%<$<<<<<<<

According TO Mr.. +. W. Bricknell. an
Australian passenger on the Oceanic
liner Sierra, times are very hard in
Australia. We have no rain and con-
sequently no money" is the curt way
he sizes up the situation.
Mr. Bricknell has had n long expert
ence in business in Australia and de-
clares that the big southern continent
has never been hit so hard before. It
mas been years since the country had
proper rains and where millions of
sheep and cattle used to feed nothing Is
now to be found except . few thou
sand starving animals trying to exc
out a bare living on the dr!ed-up.
brown salt bushes, and when the
salt bush loses it's green color In Aus
tralla times are really very bad. Many
big sheep "stations"-the Australian
term for ranches-are deserted. The
great floating population of the coun-
try, including the boundary riders,
fencemen, drovers, and sheep shearers
are finding themselves face to face with
starvation in the country districts ana
are invading the cities in hundreds.
Australia has five big cities-BriSbane
Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide and
Perth-and dozen smaller cities in
which it is estimated at the present
time that about one-half of the con-
tinent's population Of four millions are
now living. When one takes into con-
sideration the fact that Australia is as
large as the United States 1t can readi-
ly be seen how bad off the country dis
tricts must be. 1t is reckoned that
over 10000 people who really want
work are now either wholly out of EN-
ployment or have but little to do. AL
though the Australian laboring men
practically control the legislation of the
country they have never been in a
worse condition. In each of the six
states of the Australian Commonwealth
the unemployed how have organiza-
tons which are trying to force the
state governments to start big public
works to give employment to the starv-
ing men and in some of the states the
government Is issuing rations to the
unemployed.
Mr. Bricknell says that mining opera
tons are also very slow as all the
English capitalists are now interesting
themselves in South African mining
and no matter how good the show Is
on Australian mining claims they re-
fuse TO touch them. The price of sill
/ yer, lead and copper is also too low for
many of the mines which have been
running we'll for years to continue TO
run as in the past and they have dis
charged large numbers OF miners. Hard
times have also struck the smelters and
they are laying off many men.
| Mr.. Bricknell says there is n great
! exodus to South Africa from Australia,
and as immigrants are not allowed To
land in South Africa now without hay
ing GIvO in their possession great
amount of money is leaving Australia
for the Cane.

Island.

with arrangements complete for IA,
accommodation Of full shipload Of
soldiers Honolulu need have no further
fear of cholera In the Philippines.
Dr. Cofer, head Of the Marine Hos
pitai Service in Hawau. haze practically
ready now, accommodation for about
1900 soldiers on Quarantine Island. and
within q few weeks will be able Ia
care for three hundred In addition.
The work now being done by the United
states ON the harbor island is not from
/ special appropriation made by Com
gress, but from an emergency fund pro-
yided by the Department because of
the alarming health conditions in the
Philippines. which are now improved
To a great extent. The appropriation
which IL was expected would be made
for the extensive Improvement Of
Quarantine Island was not attached to
the sundry civil bill. because OF the fact
that the United States had not OBJ
tanned a clear title to the island
Though a compromise has been made
between the federal authorities here
and the owners OF the property. ali the
deeds have not been delivered and un-
til this is done, Congress will not APP
propriate the money required for the
quarantine station.
The present improvements on Quar-
antine Island when completed, will
make it one of the best field hospitals
in the world. Accommodations will b.
provided for 400 soldiers. in addition
to the provision already made for 500
Of Uncle Sans men.
Floors are being built for the tents
which are now on hand ready to be
erected in an emergency. The island
will he well supplied with fresh wa
ter also. and arrangements are made
Cor one water top for every thirty-two
men. Not only this, but large tanks
have also been erected in order to in
crease the pressure in the mains, and
enough water can be stored there to
supply the camp for weeks. Another
feature which viii be particularly bene-
fetal il a hot water plant which In
warm climate as this one, IL rot quite
SO much of a necessity as II would be
in colder spheres. The plant has
capacity of 1900 gallors OF hot water for
every two hours, which is sufficient for
days supply for the camp. When
necessary all the water used by the
men for either drinking or other pur-
poses can be boiled. insuring protection
in case of contagious sickness.
Some filling is also being done at
present though not on the scale which
will be inaugurated as soon as Congress
makes an appropriation for the pur-
pose. Then the island will be filed up
to a proper level above the sea. and
a wall built entirely around 1t as
protection against the water. Extern
sive building improvements will also be
made at that time, the plans for this
work having already been approved at
Washington.

Lord Hopetoun's Farewell to the
Purse. Tight Australians.

SYDNEY, July 15-Lord Hopetoun,
in a long letter of farewell, addressed
to the Federal Acting Premier. says:
II had dreamed my dreams; had
formed my ambitions as to your Gov
ernor Generals position and as TO the
manner in which / could best serve the
empire and the commonwealth. How
ever, was mistaken, But cannot feel
ashamed at having INDUCED my fancy
by the contemplation of these dreams
and ambitions. for assuredly they We're
neither mean nor selfish. My constant
desire has been to place the Office which
! filed on a pedestal. This l did not
for my own sake, but because / be-
lieved il to be the best way to make 1t
an office of real usefulness to the EN-
pire, and one acceptable to the people
of this country. / know now that fell
into an error, not uncommon in new
countries. 1 set to work to overbuiId
myself without being sure Of my
foundations. and II one day 1 found
myself sitting on the ground surround
ed by the ruins OF my own ideal, have
no reason to complain. for I have my
self to blame. 1t Is possible my success
scr may fnd amongst this debris frag-
ments here and there which may prove
of some use to him in building up his
structure on a scale, it may be, less
ambitious than mine"

NEW YORK, July 2i.--First attempts

liar reason. The selatne plates ex-
ploscd at different points were taken to

prise Of the expcrimenters the microbes

Year.

Assessor Pratt received the last cd
Altogether nearly 25OO have been filed

Similar action will now be taken by
Collector Pratt and the number will
probably exceed that OF last year.
The total income tax collections for
the island of Oahu last year was s2s5,-

year will II is anticipated be far below
that amount The reason giver for this
is the fact that few of the plantations
have been paying dividends the past
year. In Honolulu is collected the in
come tax for all the plantations, the
agents being located in this city. Last
year some of the corporations paid
from $4,000 to $4,000 on the income
