THE JAPAN CURRENT.

fkuro Siyvo Piles Great Loads of
Driftwood on Alaslksl's Shores,
In one sense the Kuro SiWo, or Japan
current, is the most interesting in the
world because many oceanographers
believe it was the direct means of peo-
pling America. This much at least is
certain: If boat were to be set adrift
on parts of the -Asiatic coast and sur
yiyed all storms, the Japan current
could be depended upon to carry it
across the Pacific and deposit it on the
American shore. Such a thing has
happened. In 1882 nine japanese fish
ermen were left derelict and unable to
find their way back to shore. They
went with the current, and after a
drift lasting during several months
they We're carried to Hawaii.
Trees torn by storms from the banks
of Asiatic rivers frequently float across
the Pacific to the American coast. Be-.
tween Kakatag and Kyak islands,
about 1 ZOO miles northwest of Seattle,
enormous piles Of this driftWood cover
the beaches. There can be no question
g OF the Asiatic origin of the timber.
They are the trunks of the camphor
tree, the mango and the mahogany.
Logs 80 feet long and eight feet in di-.
ameter are frequently found. Many of
them are seen floating shoreward, with
fantastic. roots standing high above the
waves. In places the logs are piled
twenty feet high. They are generally
without bark, which has been peeled
off by the waves, and most Of them
have become white and heavy from
impregnation with salt water. AS they
pile up the sands drift over them, and
gradually they sink out of sight, and
new beaches are formed. This process
has been going on for ages, and the.
shore line is being steadily extended.
Excavations along the beach show Sllat
texture of the buried timber gets hard
er and harder the farther in you go,
until in some insta nces petrifaetion has
taken place. Other aYations show
logs that have turned to coal. q
The presence Of Siberian driftWoed
on the shores Of Greenland convinced
Nansen thai his idea Of drifting across
the Polar sea in the Fran was logical.
Great quantities of the wood are an

are tribes Of Greenland Eskimos who
depend for sledge runners and other
wooden implements on the drift from
Siberian forests. For years they de

Terrible Experience of Hunter

One Of the most remarkable instances
Of the escape of a white man from the
Indians was that of John Golfer, ia

The companion was instantly killed,

playing with him as a cat plays with a
mouse. The chief asked him he
could run. He said, mot much. -
He was released and told to save his
life if he could.
Golfer darted away at high speed

by a river fringed with trees. Golfer
had always been famous as q runner.

NOTES OF THE STORM.

floors and doing considerable damage.
The members of the firm did not visit
the store Sunday and nothing was
known Of the mishap until this morn
ing when they entered to find several
inches of water on the floor, and con-
siderable damage done. The water
leaked down through the shelving
where the shoe stock was kept, and.
damaged many OF the shoes. Other
goods on The floor were soaked also.
! In the basement the water did con-
siderable damage to goods that we're
stored there. The total damage is es-5
timated at several hundred dollars and
the lilishap Is an especially regrett-
able one, as there is no insurance
against accidents OF this nature and
the entire loss falls upon the firm.

ADOPT
A PARTY PLATFORM

The following platform was adopted
by the Democrats at their meeting in
Waverley hall last night, Col. c. J. Nc
Carthy being in the chair:
The Democratic party OF the Terri.
tory of Hawaii reafiirms the principles
of the platform of the party adopted
In convention in Honolulu, II. r., De-
tober s, A. ID. 1900:
And because the political history OF
this Territory since that time has
shown the peculiar aptness and the
wisdom of the position taken by the
Democratic party on the issues local
to this Territory, we repeat the fol-
lowing:
The Democratic party, as the pro-
nounced and trusted friend OF the la.
boring classes, declares itself to be in
favor of an eight-hour labor law. and
the giving of all government work TO
citizens of the Territory OF Hawaii,
not, however, to the exclusion OF male
Hawaiian residents of European ma
tionality who, because of their inabili-
ty to speak, read and write the English
or Hawaiian languages, are denied
American citizenship.
We favor the appropriation, ny the
next Legislature Of the Territory of
Hawaii, Of liberal pension TO the eX-
Queen OF Hawaii, as a Just acknowl-
edgment due her for her great loss.
We favor an appropriation by the
Congress Of the United States to COM
pensate the ex-Queen in an equitable
sum for the deprivation suffered by her
OF the crown lands.
We favor the payment OF all proven
and Just claims resulting from loss by
fire incurred through the suppression
OF the recent epidemic OF bubonio
plague.
We favor revision and a modifica-
ton OF all existing license laws.
We favor the enlargement and COM
prehensive development of all the har.
bors OF this Territory.
AND FURTHER WE DECLARE:
That we favor the immediate enact
ment by the next Legislature OF laws
