HONOLULU OUT
ON LONG VOYAGE
Schooner Left Lahaina for Vic
tofia Port Over Two
Months Ago.

The schooner Honolulu, which ar
rived in Honolulu over two months age
after having made a long passage oi
over ninety days from Newcastle, is
doing another long trip, and some
fears are entertained as to her safety.
While on her trip from the Austral-
ian port the chronometer of the vessel
went wrong, and the vessel was off
the South American Coast when she
fell in with a British vessel, which
told her the way to Honolulu.
The schooner was towed from Ho-
nolulu to Lahaina, and is now out over
sixty days on a voyage to Esquimalt,
Victoria. The bark Olympic, from the
same port, bound for Port Townsend,
has arrived at her destination, al
though she did not leave the Maui
port until nearly a month after the
departure of the Honolulu.

GOOD NEWS WENT
OFF YESTERDAY
Alameda TO Tell the Mainland
of Great Republican
Victory.

Don't forget to tell them that Ha-
wall has gone Republican, and that the
Prince will be the next delegate to
Congress-"
Just tell them how it happened, and
they will know the rest" said another
wag.
The band struck up. B. F. Dilling-
ham walked up the gang plank of the
steamer Alameda on his way to San
Francisco. He is off to tell the CAPT
talists on the Coast of the results Of
the election, and a few other things
about Hawaii which may influence
them to invest their money in this
country.
Although the steamer Alameda ar
ried but a small passenger list yester-
day, her departure was witnessed by
the outgoing election returns, and the
return of the Territorial band to the
work of playing off the steamers were
a few of the causes that led the crowd
to assemble.
During the few minutes before the
steamer departed hundreds of letters
from Hawaiian financial houses, giving
election news and the things that may
influence trade because of the election,
were deposited in the late mail bag at
the foot of the gangway. The morn
ing after the Alameda reaches the
Coast a thousand columns of American
newspapers will likely be utilized in
picturing Prince Cupid and in detail
ing the great Republican success III
Hawaii. Purser futile said that be-
fore he left the Coast hosts of island
people in San Francisco came to the
steamer and asked that he bring all
available news concerning the election,
so he anticipates a busy half hour as
soon as the Alameda reaches the
wharf in San Francisco.
The band is down to hard work, and
if its tunes of yesterday are a sample
of those that may be expected during
the next few months, many say that
Hawaii will be filled with music.
Berger seems to have learned a new
wrinkle OIL two concerning the whirl-
ing Of a leaders stick while on the
Coast recently, for he now introduces
all kinds of funny ups and downs, and
quick kicks with the rod which, to
strangers, are confusing, but to the
band boys seem to be well understood

The Vessel Made the
Voyage In Less Than
Eleven Days.

SAN FRANCISCO, October %
From Yokohama to the Golden Gate
is a far cry of 1887 miles, but the Pa
cifc Mails new liner Korea, Captain
w. B. Seabury, has come over the
stretch af rolling sea in ten days, if-
teen hours and fifteen minutes, or two
days better time than was ever made
before. Some years ago the China
came across in twelve days, twelve
hours and forty-fve minutes, with
Captain Seabury on the bridge.
The Korea was under orders to make
time across the Pacific. Her outward
trip was not particularly creditable, so
far as speed was concerned, and Gen
eral Manager Schwerin cabled to Cap
tain Seabury to omit Honolulu on the
return trip and reach home as fast as
possible. Leaving the Yokohama
breakwater, the prov of the big vessel
breasted the waves on the great circle
route for San Francisco, and for the
day ending on October 10 logged 1874
miles, averaging ia knots an hour.
The following day she made 419 knots,
with an average of 17.9, and the day
after made 424 knots, averaging 1871
an hour. Her best days run was 436
knots, on October %, when an average
of 1876 knots an hour was maintained.
Throughout the entire run from Yo-
kohama the hourly average was IT'S
knots. The record is as follows, the
duplication of the date of October %
being accounted for by the fact that
a day is gained in crossing the 1S0th
meridian, going in an easterly direc-
ton: October 10, 1874 knots, average
ia per hour; October 20, 419 knots,

SCHOONER FOULED
THE ALAMEDA
Island Craft Got Hole Punched
in Her as Re-
suit.

The small island schooner Kauikea-
ouli, after lying in the Row for sever
al months and getting her bottom
badly fouled, tried to make a name for
herself yesterday morning by running
down the steamer Alameda.
The schooner was just putting to sea
with a cargo of general merchandise
which had been taken from the dis
abled schooner Concord, which had to
return from sea a few days ago after
springing a leak.
1t seems that the schooner had a fair
wind and sailed away from the wharf,
but would not steer. Her skipper
thought this was because of her foul
bottom, but a moment later the vessel
swung over against the bow of the
Alameda and had a small hole punched
in her by one of the steamers anchors
which was hanging half out of the
water.
One of Young Brothers launches got
hold of the schooner and took her back
to the wharf, where carpenters found
the damage to be light and easily re-
paired it during the day.
The captain of the schooner says
hat he had a shipsmith repair his
steering gear. and that the wheel was
put on in such a way that it steered
the vessel in just the opposite direction
from what was intended.

Quite an active interest is being
taken in the matter of school
libraries in this county by the
teachers. Petitions have been sent
out by County School Superln-
tendent Shipley to get slgners

law. The law states that the
lew shall be sufficient to raise a
fund which shall aggregate an
amount which shall be no less than
ten cents per capita for each and
all the children within the county
between the ages of four and ~
years. On this basis the amount
to be raised in Morrow county
would amount to S172. The tax
if levied would increase the present
amount seven cents on every
$1,000 of taxable property, which
is only small sum for the adj
vancement of education and the
dissemination of knowledge.

With the expenditure of less
than $50, seven miles of road
could be built to connect the Ar
buckle and Sugar Bowl roads, thus
making a direct line from Heppner
to Ukiah, which would bring a
good portion of the Ukiah trade
to this city which is now going to
Pendleton. Heppner Is a wide
awake town, but it is slumbering
on this proposition. We have
many natural advantages to make
good town, but we must not 60

when Heppner like every other
town must rustic. HeppDer ought
to have a commercial club, board
of trade, or Improvement assocla-
ton where the citizens could get
together and discuss matters of
Importance that are coming up.
Without organization there is no
head and it is not often that street
talk amounts to anything. The
Ukiah road is a practical, plain
business proposition that can be
understood in few minutes. The
trade of one or two persons would
be worth more to the town than
the trifing expense of opening up
this seven miles of road when
there is only brush to chop out of
the way. HeppDer ought to wake
up.

VAST IRRIGATION PLANS.

comprehend the scope OF the plans
which the government will carry
out to reclaim the arid country
west of the Mississippi river, they
will be startled at the magnitude
of it all, for such change will be
wrought when this empire, for such
it is, is made available for cultlva-
ton, that revolution really Will
be brought about, not only In agrl-
culture but possibly in other indus
try and business generally. The
land which can be made fertile by
tie use of water are more than 10
times the area at present irrigated
in the country, although this rep
resents about 100000 acres. This
territory will not only be made
productive, but the probabilities
are that certain crops of staples
will yield more to the acre in 1t
than the average harvest in some
of the states east of the Mississippi
which at present are noted for their
productiveness, says the American
Wool and Cotton Reporter.
For years past the United States
Bureau of Agriculture has been in
vestigasing the results of irrigation
and comparing the yield of grain,
fruit and vegetables in this or that
district with what the farmer and
fruit grower can do in the states
which are naturally watered. Sur
prising as it may seem, potatoes,
wheat and rye, for example, when
grown on irrigatec land are more
prolific than in any portion of the
country watered by nature. Sta
tistics prove this beyond a doubt,
and they also prove that certain
kinds of fruit are grown to greater
extent 1t is unnecessary to more
than refer to the orchards and
vineyards Of California, for exam
pie, which are now supplying not
only the United States, but good
portion of Great Britain and Eu-
rope as we'll. The fruit from this
section Of the country is not only
shipped by the carload, but also
by the trainload to the eastern
market. much of it coming from
tracts of land which 20 years ago
were mere patches of sterile sand.
Another illustration is in the val
ley of the Pecos river, formerly
known as a part of the staked
plain. This has long had the rep
utation of being one of the most
arid regions in the country, but by
placing dams across the Pecos river

throughout the United States fol

UNJUST AND DISCRI MINATING.

There is a petition IN clrculation
in this part of the state asking the
LEGISLATURE to enact law pro-
hibiting the herding Of sheep with
in a distance of two miles of any
habitation, says special dispatch
to the!Oregonian from Baker City.
1t is being pressed by the cattle
men in the main, although great
manv business men who are not
interested in stock are signing
Blue Mountain Eagle.
Such a law would be unjust and
discriminating and would be the
death warrant of the great sheep
industry in Eastern Oregon, pre-
ciselv the same as it was in Idaho.
Every man who is acquainted
with the sheep industry knows
this. The time has arrived when
the land in and adjoining the
Western ranges is so nearly oc-
cupied that two mile limit law
would practically shut out sheep
men from the public domain over
which there is 80 much controversy.
Investigation of the agitation of
this unjust law will show the
following facts:
The people Of Western Oregon
do not want, nor in fact care any
thing about such a law. And who
are the people in Eastern Oregon
clamoring for it. The business
men have not asked for it. The
farmers do not care for it. TO
simmer the whole question down
to cold facts, leaving out all
prejudice, the whole agitatation
comes from a few people who will
be pecunarily benefited to the
detriment of the commonwealth
in general. 1t would be most
pernicious class legislation. The
sheep is already carrying enough
burden. Why further handicap
this great industry by legis)a-
ton. Take Morrow county for
instance, the passage of this law
would result as follows:
In the county there are now
about 225,000 sheep worth $780,
900. The passage Of law pro-
hibiting grazing within two miles
of a dwelling, would Immediately
cause the sheep men to dispose of
a greater portion of the sheep. 1t
costs one dollar a head to run sheep
each year which is distributed in
the community. Thus $225,OOO
each year would be cut off with
the passing of the sheep, and the
large amount of money brought
here from the sale of wool would
also be cut in two many times.
This same condition would apply
to every sheep county in Eastern
Oregon.
The backbone of this nefarious
scheme should be broken early in
the game. The sheepmen should
and must be better organized or
they will be legislated out of bust
ness.
The only value of the public do
main to the people is the grass
that grows upon it. What is the
difference whether it Is eaten by
sheep, horses or cattle.
Taking the sheep off of the
public lands would not lessen the
range troubles in the least for the
other branches Of the stock in
dustry would fight over the grass
Just the same.

posed to any branch of the great
stock industry. The cattlemen
have certain rights that should be
respected.

posed to a two mile limit law or
