LIFE ON REEF
AMONG WRECKS
The Natives Live Free and Easy
Life on Surf Washed
EuIks.

In small shanties erected on the reef
which encloses Honolulu harbor there
are a score of native families living.
Far out from the city, across the shall
low flats, the native lives the same
life today as he did some fifty years
ago ON the main portions of the ISL
ands. AS he is far away from the Gu
rious looks of white people, Japs and
Chinese he pays little attention to dress
"a loose calico or cotton skirt for the
women and a white malo for the men
But when the native crosses over to
Honolulu in surf boat he comes
dressed in haole fashion.
Years ago there were many wrecks on
the reef. Coal ships went rown and no
attempt was at that time made to salve
them. While many ships crashed on
the reef and were soon entirely sub
merged. others were piled up and their
battered hulks remain there today.
There are some half dozen of these lat
ter and from the wrecks the natives
secured timber and tin with which to
construct their rude shanties on the top
of the hulks. Coral has been piled all
around the hulks, said dumped into the
center of this, and in that way some
strongly built shanties are now clus-
tered along the barrier.
There are about half dozen of these
reef shanties. The largest one is sit
uated about mile out from Quaran-
tine Island and on this hulk live some
eight families, all clustered in some
three small rooms where men, women
and children live together in perfect
harmony.
The natives gain their livelihood by
diving into the old wrecks, securing
coal from the bottom and after drying
it on the top of their shanty hulks take
it over to Honolulu for sale. After
every small storm great quantities of
broken timber are washed UP from the
wrecks and this floats on the sea. Men,
women and children swim out and tow

School Taxes Lowered

The school board at its meeting
yesterday afternoon reduced the
assessment on the principal bonds
from 5 mills to q mills, which
means reduction of that amount
to the taxpayer. The assessment
of 2 mills on the principal bond
interest and the special levy of l5
mills stands as it was.
In 1900 the taxable valuation of
the property of school district No.
2 was $Sl5,5S5 and on account of
the new revenue law this amount
was brought up to 81 ,451, ,l2o. The
assement for 1902 has not been
made but the schedule will be out
shortly.

of course, subject to some change

NOT SAFE IN nExIcO.

Mexico is not safe place of
refuge for criminals from the
United States. Charles Kratz, the
indicted st. Louis councilman,
escaped into Mexico before he
could be arrested. Our extradi-
ton treaty fails to cover his case,
and that the only way to secure him
was to ask his surrender as a mat
ter of international comfy. This
the state department declined to
do. 1t is rule with the depart
ment not to ask such favors. 1t
places the nation under obliga-
tions which are em barrassing. The
last violation of the rule was ask
ing the extradition of Boss Tweed
from Spain, and when Spain asked
a similar favor in return it could
not be granted. Unless he comes
voluntarily, Kratz will not be
extradited.
But Mexico has a severe statute
Furnishing men who come into
that country and invest money un-
lawfully obtained. A Michigan
men few years ago was tried and
convicted under this statue and
sent to the penitentiary for twelve
years. He regretted that he had
resisted extradition. Kratz is un-
der arrest and there may be sim
liar ending to his case If any
other nation has statute similar
to this Mexican enactment we
have never heard of it, Most
countries never ask where or how
a foreigner has obtained his cash,
if he wishes to invest it within
their borders, but if man invests
stolen money in Mexico he is
liable under the law to imprison

Death Of Chas. II. Bronson.

DCoIll VI ShoSs OTOHSOn.
Last week the HERALD noted the
serious illness of Chas. H. Bronson
of Grand Forks, well-known in this
city, where he resided for several
years, and whose wife was a resident
here at the time of their marriage
Francelia, daughter of Henry Barnett.
A special telegram to the Minneapolis
journal from Grand Forks, under
date of last Friday says:
=. H. Bronson, one of the most
prominent travelling men in the north
west, died at 2:20 this morning on the
fiftieth anniversary of his birth. He
was taken i'll week ago while on a
trip west. He at once returned to
Grand Forks, but when he reached the
city he was scarcely able to make his
way to his room without assistance.
The best medical talent available was
summoned and during the week every
thing has been done that was known
to the medical profession to give him
relief. Almost every night the patient
would have sinking spell, but in the
morning would rally, his indomitable
will keeping him alive. Late yester-
day afternoon, however, a change for
the worse began and continued till the
end came this morning. Mrs. Bron-
son was at his side when he died, as
was his only child, Harrison A. Bron-
son. The end was peaceful, the pa
tient recognizing those about him
shortly before he died.

been the recipients of generous gifts
of money from those who believe that
they had been saved by US from seri-
Gus losses, which donations are in our
treasury-and occasionally trifing
sums have been given with the ex-
pressed purpose of the giver that it be
used for immediate refreshments, after
the fire. Such was the case, it is pre-
sumed, after the Lyman fire, which
called out this unwarranted reflection
upon the department. Had the writer
ever been identified with the city's in
terest, or even a resident OF the city
for any length of time, perhaps he
mig hit think differently of us. Be that
as it may, we desire to enter our I'M
qualified protest and give expression
to our indignation at the scurillOus
insinuation which he has seen fit to
spread abroad. The Sank Centre fire
department Is not composed of disso-
lutte buns or irresponsible blood
suckers, but of representative citizens
and business men, many of whom have
served the department since It's organ
ization. Since that time, now nearly
twenty years, this is the first public
expression condemning the action of
this department, and we take for
granted that the public has looked
with approval upon Our.actiOns, and
we regret that the editor of the Avail
anche feels called upon to take upon
himself the role of dictator both as to
the department and to the public upon
similar future occasions.
Again the department wish to resent
this uncalled for and disgraceful SLAM
der cast upon US in the aboye quota
ton.
Adopted by unanimous vote of the

Marked Improve ment.

Less than four years ago block OF
cement sidewalk was laid on Main st.,
and while the public was divided in
opinion as to it's merits at the time
there is no question now. Since that
time more than three miles of like
walk has been laid in both business
and resident districts, and the indica.
lions now are that the coming yeal
will find very material additions made
TO it-already contracts are under
consideration for early work.
Besides the walk there has beer
forty-one crossings put down, ex
ceeding in lineal measure a half-mile
and they have withstood the severes
tests in the matter of heavy loads an6
incessant use. The walks are a de-
light. smooth, fine and easy, and the
crossings meet every expectation.

by reason of pressure of official
business, delivered an address on the
libraries of this country. She is
librarian of the state library commits
sion, which supplies small towns and
rural communities with free travelling
libraries, past master in the matter
of information relatiye to libraries,
and was thoroughly equipped to intel
ligently handle her topic. Her lecture
was illustrated with series of stere-
optican views projected upon a cur
tain. The notable library buildings
of the country, and many typical small
ones were shown, and added keen in
terest to the address, which was full
of valuable Information. She made
a powerful plea for the system of free
libraries now in it's infancy in this
state. The address was very fitting
close to an evening full of keen en-
joyment to all who were present.
WEDNESDAY MORNING.
At $50 the ladies met at the Audi
torium and took up the real business
of the meeting with earnestness. A
constitution was adopted decorating
the clubs of the sixth district, and

PARK Rapids, Secretary-Mrs. Hoov-
er of Little Falls, Cor. Secretary
Mrs. Eastman of st. Cloud, Treas
urer-Mrs. Van Hosen of Alexandria.
The reports of the various clubs
represented were read and were full
of interest, developing the fact that
some of the clubs are doing vast
amount of practical work in the way
of village and civic Improvement in
addition to their lines of study. At
1890 the convention adjourned sine
die, after what all felt to have been
an interesting and valuable meeting.
