Reunion Not a Success.

The Soldiers Reunion at Mid.
dleport last week was not a great
success in point of attendance, and
there vas much disappointment
over the failure of several of the
prominent speakers to show up.
There were many draw backs to
the success of the affair, the first
being the cold and d~isagreeabIe
weather, secondly the fact that the
meeting followed SO closely upon
our county fair, and thirdly the
counter attraction at Point Pleas.
ant in the shape of the Mason
County Fair. But while the at
tendance was not as large as the
committee had anticipated, the
meetings were very interesting
and the old soldiers present seem.
ed to enjoy themselves to the full.

Queen Strikes Bark AdamsOn
 Near Towns, nd.

Sunday forenoon, after the issuance ot the Sunday papers, the Pacific Coast liner Queen ran into the bark Adamson of point Wilson at the entrance to Port Townsend harbor. A hole 40 feet long was punched into the Adamson and it was found to be necessary to beach the bark at once to prevent her from sinking. The Queen was but slightly damaged, but she started di- rectly to San Francisco to be repaired.
 There was a dense fog prevailing at the time of the accident The Queen had been at Vancouver and was en route again up sound to complete her cargo and take on her passengers for san Francisco, for which port she was to sail from Seattle Monday.
 The Valencia was to take the Queens trip. Mrs. Mcclellan had passage en- gagged on the Queen for san Francisco.

MAY UNITE
Yukon Steamers Likely to
 Consolidate.

There is a very strong probability that the independent steamers being operated on the Upper Yukon, win be operated under one management this season. The four steamers Thistle, La France, Clifford Siiton and Casca and perhaps the Wilbur Crimmins are the craft that are said to be slated for the new combine. The company which operate the first four steamers named are now said to bc in conference at Whitehorsc Co bring Chi, deal about. It is thought that Capt. Langley of the Crimmius win undoubtedly go into the movement if fit is successfully when he arrives on the scene.
 The consolidation, fl it goes, will in no way effect the individuality of the companies. 10 win mean that instead otuai7taining threedinercnt agencies, clerks and general rusuer, there win be one agency It win also mean that there win be no rate cutting between the independent steamers. A schedule sin loo arranged and all four or five .teamers will thus be in direct opposit- 7o,t, Ony other line.

Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1903-01-01

l~l HE year that has Just closed
has brought the usual large
- number of improvements to
49, our little city and the country
| - tributary. One would think
1- that with so many good dwell
lings and barns and other buildings
that the country and town now have, and
with so many new builteyery year, that
pretty soon no more would be needed.
But it seems that the improvements are
increased in magnitude each year. At
such rate the time is not far distant
when Audubon and Audubon county
will be one of the best improved sec
tions of Iowa.
1t is not claimed for the following
items, footing up total of $4,000,
that they constitute all the improve
ments and building made in Audubon
and its vicinity during the past year,
neither do we claim absolute accuracy
in all the items, especially as to cost
of building and improvements. 1t is
simply as nearly complete and correct
as we could make it under the circum-
stances. Some of the prices necessar-
lily are only estimates. 1t is much
labor to collect all this matter, but
we thought it might be interesting to
many ofour readers. Allput togetherit
looks well for Audubon and this part
of the county. 1t shows we are keeping
up with the progressive times.

People Who Cannot Make Fires.


The Papuans of the Malay coast of
New Guinea are still in the most prim-
tive state. They are wholly unac-
quainted with metals and make their
weapons of stone, bones and wood.
They do not know how to start fire,
though fire is used among them. When
Russian asked them how they made
a fire, they regarded it as very anus
ing and answered that when persons
fire went out he got some of neigh
Dor, and if all the fires in the village
should go out they would get it from
the next village. Their fathers and
grandfathers had told them that they
remembered time or had heard from
their ancestors that there was a time
when fire was not known and every
thing was eaten raw.

HAWAIIAN FISHERMEN.
Hands and Teeth Play a Part II
Capturing the Octopus.

Hands and Teeth Play Part In
Capturing the Octopus.
The native fisherman of Hawaii,
while an adept with the hook and line,
does not scorn to use his hands to cap
ture his prey when occasion arises.
The bonitO is the fish most generally
caught with hook and line, and as the
hook used is of mother of pearl, made
from the shell of mollusk now quite
rare, which glistens with an rides
cence similar to the simmer from the
scales of the smaller kinds Of fish on
which the bonito lives, no bait is need
ed. The barb of these hooks is of
bone, and two tufts of hogs bristles
attached at right angles to the barbed
end keep the inner side up, so that the
hook lies fiat on the surface of the
sea. When q likely fishing ground
has been reached, the fisherman, stand
ing up in the canoe, casts out his line
violently, so that the hook falls with
slap on the water and attracts the
hook are then drawn rapidly toward
the boat, as though IL were q spoon,
and the bonito, taking the hook to be
a small fish, rises to it Immediately.
1t is fortunate for the fisherman that
he has to waste no time in batting his
hook, for this method Of casting fright
ems the school, and the fish disappear
within ten or fifteen minutes.
An ingenious plan by which very
large fish are caught is by planting a
long pole on the shore in such a posi-
ton as to cause it to lean decidedly to-
ward the water. On the top Of this
a bell is arranged SO that it can swing
clear of the top of the pole. A block
and fall are also attached to the pole
close to the top, and long line, with
baited hook at the end, is run through
the block and allowed to foat out to
