Vancouver, B. c., Oct 19.-There was
more serious talk in Vancouver of de-
claring Canadian independence of the
mother country and of annexation with
the United States in one hour Saturday
afternoon than there has been during
all the last ten years put together. The
announcement that Canada had lost
in the Alaskan boundary dispute was
received here with the deepest bitter
ness. Business men on the streets
were at no pains to conceal their dis
gust.
That's what we get belonging to,
Britain" was the general comment.
Business men interested in northern
trade at once declared that the decision
was of the greatest possible advantage
to the United States. and gave Uncle
Sam the complete control of business
and travel to and from the Canadian
Yukon and nothern territories.
1--WE on the coast might better be-
long at once in the state of Washing
ton or Alaska and be done with ii, .
said one prominent merchant. Il think
me might get squarer deal all around
if we lived under the stars and stripes. !"

MEANING OF DECISION EXPLAINED.
The United States Gets the Gold
Fields. Cause of the Contest.

Fields, Cause of the Contest.
The American contentious in the
Alaskan boundary dispute, with the
exception of that concerning the Port
land canal, as sustained by the COM
mission will throw into United States
territory the famous gold fields along
Chilkoot pass and many other gold To-
cations of fabulous worth, and the
cities of Dyea. Skaguay and Chilkat,
as well as the Muir glacier. One Of
the most important results of the de-
cision will be the concession that the
United States is solely and indisputa-
bly, in possession of Lynn canal
throughout its entire length This
canal is the only gateway to the gold
bearing Yukon district, in which is the
famous Klondike field.

Short Cotton Crop.

The statements of experienced
crop observers, who have travelled
all over the country within a radius
of eighty miles or more of Vicks-
burg, justify the belief that the same
territory will this season gather the
shortest cotton crop for the past ff-
teen years. There seems no likeli-
hood of any top crop at all, and on
many places the crop is reported to
be more than half picked already.

Pension Inquiry.

The encouragement has received
an inquiry from a certainNcounty in
the State in regard to the time for
getting on the pension lists. 1t
1t seems that certain veteran was
an applicant for a pension, but the
board decided that he had $400
worth of property and, as the law
directs in such cases, refused to put
him on the list. The letter from
the attorney in the case stated that
it had just been discovered that the
man in fact was not worth the
amount named, and was, therefore,
entitled to draw assistance from the
State. He wanted to know if it is
now too late to have his name placed
on the pension roll. The reply was
TO the effect that the rolls for the
year have all been made up and
passed on and the pensioner will
have to wait until next year before
he can get his name on the list.

THE DRAMA.

Another enjoyable and well appre-
I.ciated performance was given last
evening by the Elleford Company, in
the presentation Of Nat Goodwin's play
"In Mizzoura." The house was crowd
ed and the audience proved enthusiastic
even to refrainng from going out
tween acts. The close of the third act
with dramatic climax by Miss Elliott
Pietro Sosso and Lando brought re-
peated curtain calls and the house tenn
pOrarily went wild.
AS in the Lions Heart the perform
ance was marked by its smoothness
and evidence of good stage manage
ment The specially carried setting of
the Smithy was realistic to the last de-
tail Aside from the play itself Miss
Selwyn's speciality of Dancing the Two
Step with Lulu" with an added local
verse, was a big feature of the even
ing.
Pietro Sosso as the self etfacing hero,
with his stage presence, excellent voice
and consistently carried out charac-
terizatiOn, provided a solid foundation
for the success of the play. Had Mr..
Sosso an inch or more of added height
we venture to predict that he would not
be playing repertoire. Miss Elliott with
sympathetic magnetism has no faults
in the leading roles. Mr. Corrlgan was
decidedly To the fore In a comedy char
acter role and Lando's work told ef-
fectively.
Myrtle Selwyn and Charles Elder pro-
vided much amusement with their Gle
Yer work as a typical MizzOura boy and
girl. Miss Washington handled a some

TREE WHICH
OWNS ITSELF
DEED PLACED OK RECORD con-
NEYtNG FULL POSSESSION TO A
MASSIVE OAK IN GEORGIA.

A giant oak tree which owns itself
and eight feet of ground on all sides is
one of the unique attractions at Athens,
Ga. This tree stands on bearing street
in fashionable Cobbham, and is one Of
the most significant oaks in all the
South. 1t is tall and symmetrical its
great limbs are shaped as If by the
hands of an artist and under its shade
several generations have sheltered
themselves from the heat or have taken
refuge I'm storm.
Nearly a century ago Colonel w. H.
Jackson went to the Courthouse in this
city and placed deed on record, in
which he said: For and in considera-
ton of the deep love and veneration
have for the oak tree giving location).
and great desire that the said tree be
protected for all time, l convey to said
oak tree entire possession of itself, to-
gether with eight feet of ground on all
sides"
Colonel jackson loved the tree. He
had watched its growth from his child
hood. ana when he saw it standing in
its magnificent proportions it panied
him to think that after his death it
might fall into the hands of those who
would destroy IL.
The land around the tree has been
sold several times, fashionable and
costly homes have been built but the
sentiments Jackson expressed ia the
deed nave been sacredly carmel OUT.
This is. perhaps, the only tree in the
world which holds a deed to itself

YESTERDAY
IN TIE HOUSE
4 LARGE NUMBER OF MATTERS
RECEIVE CONSIDERATION, SOME
FAVORABLE AND OTHERS NOT.

The House did rapid work on bills
yesterday killing some and advance
ing others, until Kumalae had chance
to roast the Board of Health which he
did with vehemence. The order of the
day was taken up a once, with the idea
of clearing away the heavy calendar
during the last week Of the session.
The first bill taken up was the bill to
provide that anyone may treat ieprosy,
which the health committee reported
would practically repal all laws relat-
ing to segregation of lepers.
Vida moved to adopt the report of the
health committee disappearing the bin
and Kumalae asked that the absent
members be called in before the votes
was taken. THE bill will be killed if
they are not here" he said. on motion
of Kelinoi consideration Of the matter
was deferred tolthe afternoon session.
House bin number 1O6 to appropriate
$4,000 for the extension of Fort street
was taken up and Harris moved to de-
fer consideration for ten days. The bill
however, passed second reading.
Bill No. 81, providing for franchise 20
supply fuel and lighting gas on Oahu,
was tabled, being similar to the gas
franchise bill which the Senate tabled.
The bill to allow telephone franchise
on the island of Hawaii passed second
reading. Harris wanted to amend by
Troyiding that the franchise shall be
granted with the approval of the Gov
ernUr but it was ruled that this could
not be done on second reading.
The bill granting 4 franchise to \. V.
Gear and usso .l1-as to conduct Nd-er
works on the island of Oahu ami 10
lay pipes and conduits in the streets
was passed on second reading, WITH
amendments recommended by Che Pub
/ lie Lands and Internal improvements
/ Committee.
The bill doing away with Olaa reser-
walton was killed. by adoption IF 4
committee report against it.
Damiens bin to provide action for the
recovery of land seized under fore
closure was also indefinitely postponed,
/ the Judiciary COMMITTEES having re-
/ .orted that it is not as go II as existing
laws. Kumalae thought it n good bill
and made an unsuccessful fight for it,
one plea being that the intrOducer was
absent.
Damien's next bill was temporarily
saved by Aylett to be wastebasketed
when he is present. 1t was an act to
define the qualifications of holders of
public Office and the Judiciary commit
tee reported that the county bill cover
ed the ground. It's going to be killed
anyhow" said Aylett, but let us be
courteous and wait till the introducer
is present"
The bill to prohibit the Board of
Health from destroying property with
out providing for compensation for the
owners gave Kumalae his opportunity
to roast the board and he discussed the
plague fire and other matters at length
The Health committees report was
against the bill but it passed second
reading.
