CANADIAN PACIFIC
TOURISTS COMING

Whatever the Canadian-A Australian
line people may say about cutting out
Honolulu in their tourist business, GER
| tainly the Hawaiian Islands are left
severely unmentoned in the following
news article regarding winter excur-
sions in the Pacific about to be inau-
gurated by the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way. 1t is from n late issue OF the
Daily Witness, Montreal, where the
head offices of the Canadian transcon-
tinental line are situated.
Some good missionary work may be
done by the Hawaiian Promotion Com
mittee amongst the first party OF
Canadian excursionists going south, 20
the intent of inducing them to make
their return. The effort might at least
have the effect of testing the sincerity
of the recent disclaimers by the
Canadian-Australian steamer officers of
any discrimination against Honolulu in
their advice to tourists. Following is
the Montreal papers article:
THE C. p. r. is planning n series of
winter trips to the other side of the
world, by the Canadian-Australian line
OF steamers, which will be used in con-
junction with the C. p. II. rail system.
The idea is a new one, but the company
is tolerably sure that 1t will be success
full There are increasing numbers of
people in Canada and the United States
who desire a warm climate in the win
would gladly patronize a project which
at a season which is rigorous in north
ern latitude, offers beautiful summer
weather in the countries mentioned.
on the way, while the return will he
made by way of California. Mediter-
ranean trips in the winter have been
highly successful and 1t is believed
that this new departure VIII receive n
large measure of support. The first
trip will be made early in November.
Indirectly, these trips will have the eff
feet of furtherlng trade relations with
Australia and New Zealand, which
countries can take much more of our
products than Canada has as yet found
a way OF putting upon these markets"
1t is to be hoped that the enterprise
of the Canadian Pacific people may
prove contagious with the United
States transcontinental lines.

DAVIS SUES
FOR A FEE
Gear Put Hall in
a Spendthrift
Trust.

George Davis has brought suit in
the District Court against Willie Hall
for $155 alleged to be the balance due
on a 81 900 attorneys fee.
And thereby is disclosed a tale, or
perhaps only n curious coincidence of
how nicely things work together when
Attorney Geo. A. Davis and Judge
Geo. D. Gear happen to be in the same
judicial district
Willie Hall was a spendthrift. That
is, Judge Gear declared him one and
almost Immediately Geo. Davis came
around with a petition to have him
released. If Gear and Davis hadn I
been such intimate friends and former
law partners probably nothing would
have been thought of few coinci-
dences which seemed to have provi-
dentially occurred so that the judge
might make possible a $1,000 fee for
his former law partner.
Hall is a young native boy, who had
been in court on a suit to set aside
deed given to C. Winam, as having
been without consideration. The tes-
timony at the trial led Judge Gear to
say that the boy should have a spend
thrift guardian appointed to protect
his property, and the boy consented
after the matter had been fully eX-
planned. Geo. r. Carter was appointed
the guardian and the trust had exist
ed but a few months, when through
some influence George Davis got hold
of Hall, and appeared In court with
petition to have the trust dlssoiV-
ed. Judge Humphreys heard the mat
ter and denied the motion, saying that
two months was not sufficient for the
reformation Of the boy. Davis next
appealed from this decision, and with
in a few days withdrew the appeal,
and brought in a new petition to have
John F. Colburn appointed in place OF
Carter. This motion was also denied,
and few months having elapsed
Davis presented another petition for
the dissolution of the spendthrift trust.
The petition was presented while Gear
was away, and Judge Robinson Offer
ed to hear the matter. Davis object
ed and insisted on bringing the mat
ter before Gear. Robinson consented
and when Gear returned he granted
the petition and Hall was released
from the care of a spendthrift guard
ian by the same judge who had found
it SO necessary to give him a guard
ian a short time before.
George Davis of course profited by
the coincidence and according to the
suit filed in the District Court has
been paid all but about $155 of the
81 600 fee which he was to get for his
work.

HEARING CASE
AGAINST PHELPS

Commissioner Douthitt yesterday be-
| bel suit brought against the Erskine
| NJ. Phelps by julius A. Schirrmacher.
| The first mate of the vessel, w. Hell
| bron, was on the stand nearly the en-
| tire afternoon for the plaintiff, but his
Testimony was more favorable to the
defendant He denied absolutely that
| the injured sailor had been neglected,
and said that Captain Graham had put
the man under his charge entirely, and
he had been given the best of care.
The mate testified that the man had
been injured at a time when the Phelps
was in danger, and that he then called
dent Graham wished to come down
and take care of the man, but the
mate insisted that he remain where
he was, as the ship was in such dan
ger, that 1t could not afford to lose
two officers The mate testified that
he had gone to the man and given hnm
a dose of laudanum and whiskey to
ease the pain. He had used the sound
leg as a splnt with which to bind up
the injured member. The next day he
had set the broken leg and had proper
splints made by the carpenter. The
mate testified also that the captain
had asked Mrs. Graham to provide lint
for the wound.
On questioning from Mr.. Dunno the
mate also denied that the vessel could
have made Valparaiso or Tahiti in or
der to give the man medical treatment.
The witness thought reflections were
being cast upon his seamanship in
several questions and refused to an
swer questions. but finally did SO when
requested by the court.
Now "a strong westerly wind would
have taken the Phelps TO Valparaiso?"
asked Mr.. Dunno.
1--WE couldn't make Valparaiso" an
swered the mate.
Going from Cape Horn to Honolulu
did you pass east or west of valpa-
raiso?"
Il won't answer such question:

full" said Dunno.

The witness finally said he passed
westward of Valparaiso, but insisted
that he could not have made the port.
The examination was continued un.iI

pEARYs EXPEDITION.

Explorer Peary, who is to go North
have been successful the last previous
time If he had been supplied with
enough men and stores to establish a
long chain of supply stations. This
time he will go equipped. Hampered
as he was three years ago, he yet
assembled to the point highest North in
the American Arctic, but his base was
so far South-350 miles from the Pole
that before he could travel very far
the short summer had nearly ended
and he was compelled to hurry back
to camp.
The plan now is to put the, ship as
far North as possible and then, before
the long Arctic night is over advance
to Grant Land on the shores of the
frozen ocean, establishing stations en-
route, and making a dash for the Pole
on the morning of the first sunrise.
OF Grant Land little is known: every
mile from there beyond where Mares
stopped in 1876, will be hitherto unex-
plored territory; but the distance to the
goal is not great and three weeks of
rapid sledging should enable the ex-
plorer to pluck out the heart of the
Polar mystery.
There is, of course, no great utility
about the Pole, save as its discovery
would inform scientific men upon minor
points which are yet in dispute but
to find it where so many have failed, is
an honor which any American NAV
profit. Commander Peary deserves to
be the. Columbus of the north. for no
explorer has shown more resolute will
than he.

sheriffs on the other islands to enforce

Mr.. Cooper says there is no use in
making good roads at great expense
throughout the country, unless every
available means of preventing their
avoidable deterioration be adopted.
He regards the Wide Tires Act as one
of the best of protective measures for

Agricultural Board Will
Meet There in
Future.
Office, Meeting and Laboratory
Divisions Are to Be
Provided.

81 That the Board of Agriculture and
Forestry created by the Legislature of
M19O3, to supersede the old single Com
*rnissionership of Agriculture, means to
be a constantly effective force in the
of the Territory has already been made
publicly apparent by the promptitude
: with which that body has organized
skilled working staff. 1t has crossed
two continents and two oceans to OBJ
Vain the services of scientific specialists
for assistance to the two able ento-
zmologists who had already proved
] their value to the government.
Now the Board is going to have it's
own headquarters, both for. meetings
and for laboratory and quarantine op-
erations, at the long established horti-
cultural nursery in town. Architect
Pinkham is working on plans for the
remodeling of the old nursery building
in King street. A fumigating house
is already under construction on the
grounds, where the fumigation of i'm
ported plants will be scientifically con-
Quoted.
The main pavilion is to be subdivided
into Office rooms and will probably be
improved by the construction of CELL
ing and the laying of concrete floors.
There will be rooms for the forestry
division. A large apartment will be
fitted up for the general offices, labora-
tory and meeting place for the Com
missioners. Another one will be the
receiving room for inspection of plants.
A general workroom will also be pro-
yided.
Any objection on the ground of con-
yenience of access that might formerly
have been entered to this location OF
HEADQUARTERS is obviated now by the
grunning of the electric cars on King
street.
