ABOUT The REUNION.

It may be- that the near ap,
preaching Reunion is the last
occasion of the kind that Can
yon City may have for several
years and our citizens, not only
of the town, but of the surround
ing country, should see to it
that it be one to be remembered
by every visitor with pleasure.
The News is aware of the fact
that money is not as plentiful
as it was last year or year be-
fore last, due largely to the low
prevailing prices for cattle; but
by dividing the burden, if such
it be, as it ought to be appor-
toned on both townan county,
it can be made success with
out intlicting any particular
hardship on anybody. The ben
etits derived from these gather.
ings, small or great, accrue Just
as much to our farmers and
stockmen as to the business
men of the town and they should
take almost as much if not
equally as large interest in them
as do the people Of the town.
Now, let us reason a little along
this line and see if this position
is coorect: First, the leading
feature of this reunion is to care
for the old veterans or the
South; to honor them for their
sacrifices made in behalf of our
loved Southland; to tender them
our unstinted hospitality and
love and to leave a pleasant
recollection with them of this,
perhaps, our last love feast
with them. In this respect are
they not the guests of Randall
county as well as of the county
seat and as such entitled to the
consideration of all our citizens?
Surely are they.
Then comes the cowboys re
union and the stock show. The
interest of our country brethren
in these is, or ought to be,
greater than that of the towns
men. This being true, why
should not our brethren, the
stockmen and the farmers, aid
us in the making of this reunion
what it should be, magnificent
success in all of its several
parts? Think Of it as it is, a
Randall county reunion and a
Randall county exhibit of live
stock, and then let all of us,
holding to the same rope, pull
together and make of this gath
ering an occasion long to be re-
me mbered as one of the grand.
est and best times Randall coun-
ty ever had. To accomplish
this, the town has been liberal,
the times considered. Almost
every man in Canyon City has
or will subscribe, according to
his means or business, but the
News is informed that our coun.
try brethren are very shy on
this matter of 'raising the
wind" Yet the News has great
faith in them and believes that
if their support be solicited in
the proper spirit that they will
respond and do it as becomes

AN IDEAL STOCK.FARM.

The writer with the care-free
photographer, M. S. Lusby,
paid a visit to the ranch home
of j. H. Garrison, our county
clerk, on Monday last, by spe,
cial invita- ton.
After hasty breakfast Mon.
day morning, we partook of the
first series Of Mr.. Garrison S
hospitality, by securing his
horse and buggy for the jour
ney.
Though the eXhileratins
breezes of the Plains are ever
pleasant and soothing to those
who imbibe its virgin purity,
one cannot duly appreciate its
invigorating influence upon the
human system until they have
thrown aside the busy cares of
life and yielded a willing sub
ject to the surroundings in the
early morning of a July day.
So, content with the scene ma
ture had provided, the photog-
rapher aud myself were not
long in harmonizing our moods
to such subtle influences. The
beautiful and nutritious carpet
of green grass which spread in
luXuriant growth as far as the
eye could reach, was only en-.
HANGED in beauty by the occa-
sional patch of alfalfa and the
large areas of katfir corn, sor-
ghum, ETC., which handiwork,
from its thorough state of cult
walton gave evidence of the con-
tented stock. farmer. Assuredly
most german as factor to the
beauty of this natures garden,
was the brilliant golden hue OF
the stubble field, where good.
ly supply OF wheat and oats had
been harvested. Thus in this
manner over gradual inclines
and dales we made speed to our
destination without special ad-
venture other than an occasion
al yarn equally INDUCED in by
both of the party.
Upon arriving at the ranch
home of John Hutson, on the
picturesque TERRA Blanca, we
were joined in our route by Mr..
Hutson to Mr.. Garrison's farm,
which joins the formers hold
ings.
At last the spacious barn of
this ideal stock farm doomed up
in striking contrast to the usual
preparations for the storing of
bouuteful harvests and we
knew not only by the guidance
of Mr.. Hutson, but by a former
description of the surroundings,
that at last we were in hailing
distance of the objective point.
We found Joe "hard at work, "
doing the heavy standing
around) which he gladly sus-
pended, after making due apollo
gies for having caught him in
such predicament. He then
escorted US to the various crops
which he has been telling US so
much about and the photogra-
pher took several views of his
wheat and oats in shock.
1t has never been the policy
of the writer in his reportorial
career to extol the virtues of
any country in guileful language,
but we are ever wont to give
any picture its natural colors
whether the subject of the
sketch be the irrigated vine

FOR EASTERN ADVERTISING.

Tom Mckay is quite right about the
on this ocean and in the Orient. Very
little indeed is known of Hawaii by the
Europeans who flock to China and ia
pan. Hawaii, Samoa, the Tongas and
Fiji are all one to them-half wild
places somewhere in the ocean tropics
from which civilized people had better
keep away. It would be revelation
to them to know that "the purple
east which charms them so, has no
such hotels, street railways, or other
comforts of a high civilization as Ha-
wall; and that, in setting of finer
scenery and an incompatible climate,
than can be found in the Old World,
these Islands hold the prizes of opu-
lence and culture.
1t is customary in the Orient to ad-
hanging photographs of them in public
places-photographs with a printed
margin of description. Thus in the
populous tourist hotels of Yokohama,
Tokyo, Kobe, Hongkong, Shanghai,
Bangkok, Singapore, and Colombo, one
finds pictorial reminders of other pla-
ces worth seeing, places in Australia,
Europe and the mainland of the United
States-but none of Hawaii. In the
reading rooms are no Hawaiian pa
pers or periodicals.; in the railway
racks are no Hawaiian folders. Yet
thousands of people whom we should
all like to see in Hawaii go as far
from Europe as Nikko and then turn
about and retrace their steps. Moth
ing should be left undone to attract
them further, to bring them to the
Paradise of the Pacific.
Happily all these matters are in the
hands Of committee that knows it's
business and will not neglect any
promising field of effort.

THE DUTY OF THE HOUR.

The general object of the Republican
party of Oahu is to have a clean coun-
ty ticket. If, through compromises,
unconvicted embezzlers or other unde-
sirable men are nominated, the party
will consider it a duty and a privilege
to scratch their names. This is not
year for harmony at the expense of
principle, but for a union of honest
have no wish to win a victory for can
didates who have used or who natural
ly would use official position to bring
the party name into disrepute. There
is nothing in a victory that means bad
government on your responsibility
Better defeat than that.
AS a general thing the names sug-
gested are fair. Some of them are ex-
cellent. A few are as bad as they
can be and these are familiar enough
TO the public to need no enumeration
here. But they will be remembered in
the convention and if necessary at the
polls. The reason is not, as some
claim, personal, but wholly public.
Being indispensable or worse the
men we have in mind are not
wanted in public offices of any kind,
especially those which are about to
have their first organization and need
to be put on basis of honest man
agement.
Happily for the future of Hawaiians
there is some of this talk even in the
Home Rule ranks. Not few of the
men suggested for place on the Home
Rule ticket, men of the type of Mr..
Giffard and Mr.. Wright are among our
best citizens. Mr. Caypless, named
for County Attorney, was recommend
ed two years ago by the Republican
Central Committee for a circuit judge
ship. If the Home Rulers put up
such a ticket as they are now discus
sing, they will do the native people a
signal service and vest the Republican
convention with strong responsibility
1t remains for the latter body to save
the party from comparisons that would
be odious Republicans would be in
pretty plight if they, by their own mis-
takes, gave Home Rulers a chance to
name the safer ticket.

One of the perils statesmen have to
meet in Japan springs from the fanat-
zeal patriotism of the people. A large
class of Japanese, mainly of the lower
orders and not all "soshi," do not I'M
derstand diplomacy in public affairs.
If Russia, for example, offends, these
agitators demand war: and if any
statesman tries to compromise instead,
he is marked as a traitor. A few years
ago one of the cabinet ministers who
had disappointed the expectations of
the mob had his legs blown off by a
bomb. Probably the men who were

HAWAlPS MAINLAND COMMERCE.

Commerce between the United States
and it's non-contiguous territory
amounted to over one hundred million
dollars in the fiscal year just ended.

cludes about five million dollars worth
of gold bullion produced in Alaska and
brought into the United States. Even
excluding this, however, and including
only merchandise in the calculation,

This is the first opportunity which
has been offered for an accurate meas
urement and analysis of the commerce
between the United States and its nom
contiguous territory since the annex
alton of the Hawaiian Islands and
Porto Rico. The Hawaiian Islands
were made a customs district of the
United States when they were annexed,
and as the law did not REQUIRE the
collection of statistics of commerce be-
tween the customs districts, part of
the people engaged in that commerce
the Bureau of Statistics. When Porto
Rico became a customs district of the
United States, a similar condition de-
veloped, except that the information
was voluntarily supplied for publica-
ton by the steamship companies en-
gagged in that trade. AS a result. a
eDaoial ,auy ,,ac opaotad which onpIia6
to the commerce between the various
ports of the United States and the
non-contiguous territory, the regula-
tons which were applied to foreign
of such commerce. This law went into
effect at the beginning of the last fiscal
year, and therefore the result of the
fiscal years operation is just avail
able. The law, when enacted, was
made broad enough to include all nom
contiguous territory belonging to the
statistics of the commerce between
Alaska and the ports of the United
States, as we'll as that of Hawaii, Porto
Rico, Philippines, Guam, the Samoan
islands, etc. This record has been COM
pleted for the fiscal year, under the
new law, and the result is indicated by
the Department of Commerce and La
Dor through its Bureau of Statistics,
as follows:

While these annual figures are the
first of any official nature which the
country has had of the commerce with
Porto Rico and the Hawaiian Islands
since their annexation, it is practicable
to compare these with the figures of
the commerce with these islands in any
year prior to annexation because of
the fact that commerce with them was
always measured and reported when
they were foreign territory. This is
true also with the Philippines. In re-
gard to Alaska, no accurate statistics
of the commerce were gathered prior
to the last year, but estimates were
made for former years, which give a
fair basis for comparison. 1t is prac-
ticable, then, to compare the commerce
of 1903 with that of 1893, for all of this
territory which has now become a part
of the United States. This comparison
shows that the imports from these va
numbers, twenty-nine million dollars in
1893, and fifty-nine millions in 1908,
and that exports to that territory
amounted to less than eight millions in
1893, and over thirty-six millions IN
1903.
The following table shows the value
of merchandise passing between the
ports of the United States and it's nom
contiguous territory in the fiscal year
1903, compared with that of 1893:
