THE TWO LANGUAGE
y QUESTION EASY"
DICKEY RAISES 1T IN THE SEN
WORD TO THE INTERPRETER.

The question of the language of pro-
cedure" came up this morning in the
senate, and it looked for a time as
though the whole language question
was to be threshed out right at the
beginning of the session. But it prov
ed to be only a momentary matter and
was off before many of the members
had recognized that it was a great
chance for time killing debate.
The subject was brought up by Sen
ator Dickey, rising to a point of order.
His point of order was that Senator j.
Il. Brown had introduced a bill making
his introducing remarks in Hawaiian
which had not been translated into
English by the interpreter. President
CTabbe suggested that as the bill was
n English that covered the issue But
Senator Dickey argued not that the or
ganic act required thep roceedings to
be conducted in the English language
and the introduction of the bill was a
part of the proceedings as well as the
bill itself.
Nearly every senator was on the
alert to see what Senator Dickey's point
would lead to, but when the Senator
explained that all he had raised his
point for was so that the Interpreter
would not fail to interpret in the fu-
ture any remarks made in Hawaiian
which We're a part of the proceedings
as distinguished from a part of the
debate, they settled back. President
Crabbe remarking in effect that that
was easy" directed the interpreter to
watch the proceedings to comply with
the point of order raised by Senator
Dickey

Bruised and battered and torn and
broken the American ship Paramita
came limping into port this morning.
Down in the South Seas the same hur-
ricane that devasted the PaumOtu ISL
ands over a month ago, caught the Pa
ramita and all but sent her to the bot
tom None of the seventeen men
aboard her had the slightest hope that
she would ever get out of the hurricane
alive. But she did live through it and
the men say it was because she was a
staunch vessel, and luck did not en-
tirely desert them.
How the vessel ever escaped destruc-
tiOn is remarkable. From statements
of every one aboard the vessel the fury
of the hurricane was almost beyond
comprehension. 1t was impossible for
the men to stand up on the decks and
face the wind and at it's height the
wind swept away the masts of the YES
sci as they stood without a strip of
canvas spread on them.
The Paramita left Newcastle, New
South Wales for San Francisco De-
cember l with 1000 tons of coal aboard,
consigned to J. j. Moore and Com
pany. The meridian was passed in II
days at Latitude 32.42 south. Squally
weather with light variable winds was
the order for the first part of the trip.
But on January 8 at p. m. she struck
a moderate gale from the southwest
which increased accompanied by a
heavy sea. The wind split the fore
topmast staysail the main staysail and
the mizzen lower topsail. At a. m.
the following morning captain Backus
wore SLIP and ran to the eastward for
"a hours in the hope of escaping the
gale. The storm center was coming up
too fast however for the Paramita to
escape so on Sunday morning the gale
had increased and they wore ship again

Comparisons are thus made as follows.
showing that California has in it's re-
troleum a fuel that will solve for all
time the problem of fuel costs. The
best grade coal of the Pacific coast
averages 1000 to & coo calores; the low
err grade steam coal considerably less.
Comparing the cost of oil at $1.25 -
S1.50 per barrel with cost of coal on
the basis Of the theoretical heating val
ues. a ton of oil would be worth from
Sc to IS, against coal at IS to 50. The
actual difference is very much greater
than this. since there is much less
waste in oil heating. Numerous actual
experiments made under boilers have
shown that to As barrels of oil are
equivalent TO 2.240 pounds of good coal
wherefore ccal cannot compete with
petroleum at the present prices, nor can
it unless its cost be reduced to be-
tween $4 and s. per ton. OH is sell

SOME ODD ECONOMICAL HOBBIES

In mining one can see more expensive
economy 60 than in any other bust
ness. It is not confined to any state
nor to any particular mining camp.
One Of the best mining men the writer
ever knew. superintendent of one of
CcIorado's greatest mines, had the Gail
die economy habit His foreman had
orders to only allow the men three
candles each for a shift; it was a we'll
ventilated mine and the boys would use
the best part of two candles going ami
coming from their work, so they had
hut one candle to put in their shift
with.
They would work hard while their
candle lasted then congregate together
and sit around one light until time to
fire their holes. These men were get
ting "a per day and several hundred
were employed, so his economy CD cost
several hundred dollars each day. On
one mine where the writer was one
time leasing the miners used to exhibit
a wheelbarrow that the most conserya-
tive figures would show had cost the
mine owner over $4,000. yet he imagined
he was saving money by not buying a
car.

shovels UP to the handles, another on
wearing the picks up to the eyes; to
save few dollars they squander hun
