CRANBERRY CROP SHORT.

D. Shumway, the pioneer from Cram
berry station, informs the Ilwaco Jour
nal that the cranberry crop is almost a
total failure on the big marsh this year.
This marsh contains 40 acres. Formerly
as many as 1000 barrels have been
picked from this marsh, but Mr.. Shunl-
way says that scarcely 800 barrels were
secured this season. The cause of the
shortage is said to be neglect on the
part of the Cinnamon running the
marsh aided by blight similar to the
disease which attack some of the potato
crops on the peninsula.

The. next move towards the payment
of the fire claims Will probably be a
pro rata distribution of the fire claims

This now seems the only way out of
the difficulty and unless the claimants
are willing to accept It, the payment of
the claims may be indefinitely post

and frauds in plenty everybody
knows; but it is seldom or never
that any large business house is
guilty of them, no matter what
line of trade it follows. There
can be no permanent success of
any kind based on dishonesty or
deception. There never was, and
never will be. The men who try
that are simply fools and soon
come to grief-as they deserve.

IRWIN HERO
WILL MOVE
TO WAH|AWA
New Deal Is Made
In Behalf Of
Colony.

A deal has just been consummate,
whereby w. G.. Irwin's famous herd o.
Jerseys, the most valuable herd o
thoroughbred Jersey cattle on the Isl
ands, go to Clark Farm, Wahiawa. Thi
herd of cattle has become famous no
only on the Islands but travellers from
other countries have been loud in theil
praise; a recent visitor from New Zea.
land, a country noted for its dairy in.
dustry, said: "They are as good as
can be found" Byron o. Clark has
promoted this deal which means much
to Wahiawa and to the live stock in
Y terests of the Islands; inasmuch as the
integrity of the herd will be preserved
as headquarters for those who may de-
sire thoroughbred animals, and the
danger of having the herd scattered
and its usefulness, to a large extent,
destroyed, is past.
A corporation under the name of
Clark Farm Co., Ltd, will be formed
as soon as the necessary papers can be
filed and a charter obtained, for the
purpose of engaging in the breeding of
thoroughbred stock conducting a dairy
and other farm operations, with a capt.
tai stock of thirty thousand dollars,
most of which has already been sub
scribed. This corporation will take a
long lease of seventy-five acres of the
best land in Wahiawa which is all I'M
der cultivation, and with an abundant
supply of mountain water for irrigation
and other purposes.
The climate and location of Wahiawa
are unsurpassed, which with good land,
an abundant water supply and herd
of Island-bred Jersey cows of estab-
lished reputation, it would seem the
from the start.
Mr.. w. T. Blacker, who has been
manager for Mr.. Irwin at Leahi, since
the starting of the herd seven years
ago, will be in charge of the stock de-
partment, which assures intelligent
and careful management. The Homo
lulu customers of the dairy will con-
tinue to be supplied for the present at
least and the high standard of milk
will not only be maintained, but i'm
proved if possible.

CONGRESS
WILL FIX
DISTRICTS
Legislature Puts
By the Big
Task.

With the session of the Legislature
practically at an end. at least with no
chance for a bill to be passed, with
three readings in each house, one of
the mandates Of Congress in the
Organic act has been absolutely disre-
garded by the legislators. This is in
regard to the reapportionment of the
Legislative districts.
The Organic Act, in Section So, says:
THE Legislature. at its first regular
session after the census enumeration
shall be ascertained. and from time to
time thereafter, shall reapportion the
membership in the Senate and House of
Representatives among the senatorial
and representative districts on the basis
Of the population in each of said dis
trlcts who are citizens of the Terri
tory"
The first legislature had no statistics
on which to base an apportionment.
These figures could be had at the pres
ent time, but the men who keep in
touch with legislative matters, soon
saw after the legislature met that to
pass n measure as directed by Congress
would be impossible and for the pur-
pose of keeping down Ill feeling the
matter was allowed 10 rest undisturbed.
The apportionment would be made on
the basis of 10000 citizen population,
and this according to some figures
both houses.
This condition of affairs confronted
the Republican executive committee at
its meeting yesterday afternoon and
after some discussion 1t developed that
the unanimous feeling was that Con-
gress should be asked to pass upon the
matter. This will do away with the ne
cessity for n fight over the measure
which would certainly follow the intro
duction of the bills necessary to accom-
pllsh the result. The bills to bring
about this end will be prepared here
and will be sent to Washington by
Delegate kalanianaoe who VIII push
the measure to passage.
The executive committee discussed at
length the necessity for the passage OF
the Loan act before the end of the SEES
sion. 1t is likely that the committee
will call to the attention of the mem
bers of the Republican majority in the
House the fact that public works will
stop and that distress will result
The committee recommended appoint
ments to a number of minor offices.

which distinguish 1t from other rene
dies OF this class. Pain Balm is espe-
cially beneficial for rheumatism. Thou
sands OF cases can be cited In which
this remedy has effected a cure when
the sufferer had previously tried the

relief. Pain Balm Is positively guaran-

cases of chronic or acute rheumatism.
Pain Balm heals bruises, burns ard

generally prevents an unsightly scar

Politics and Politicians.

The man who sneers is never a good citizen, and the man who sneers at
 politics and politicians is not bit of
 a patriot, although in his narrow brain .he may consider himself the salt of ,the earth. No one claims all politicians
 are pure, any more than all men in | any other calling are pure, high-mind-
 ed and unselfsh. Even all preachers are not. There is a black sheep in every family, and there are several of ! them among the politicians.
 { But that is no reason why any man, no matter how toploftical he may con : sider himself, should sheer at politics and politicians. It is every mans
 duty to be politician and to take a
 hand in politics. This is his public duty-a duty he owes to his country
 and to his fellowmen. The man who

Art in Chicano.

Marshall Field proposes to build for Chicago's benefit the finest art mu- scum building in the world, and to en- dow it in part at least with a main tenance fund. His expenditure will not be far from 1O,O00,0Q0, thus giv- ing the western city an art collection that may in time rival the one in New York.
 These two great collections will, however, serve a much wider field than the two cities. They will pro- mote the beautiful throughout the en- tire country, for millions will visit them, and will carry away from them ideas that will blossom in many a household and field of work. MT. Field will build wisely, and he is placing his money where it will do theAmost good. Chicago should hold great collection, because next to New York it is a town to WHICH SO frequently With great collection in the east and another in the west, and both in the two great commercial centers of the country, no one need go arthur gry. An annual visit to either would satisfy the aesthetic cravings of the soul.
 Some day, perhaps, the south will hold a Marshall Field, and thenA we will get an art museum, but until we do the New York and Chicago collec- ton will answer. Art is not sectional, and distance alone is the objection, and this will be accepted in the hope that some overloaded millionaire will bless this section with a beautiful 1 building filled with objects of art and supplemented with a beautiful endow- ment fund.

 For forty years l have seen crows in winter in different parts of the country, passing to and fro between their rooker- ies and their feeding grounds, and I have never seen anything like leadership among them They leave their roasting places at daybreak and disperse north or south or east or west to their feeding grounds, going in loose. struggling bands and silently, except in early spring, and they return at night in the same way, flying low if 1t is stormy and windy and high if 1t is calm, rising up or sheering off if they see a gunner or other sus- picious object, but making no sounds ut tering no signal notes. They all have eyes equally sharp and do not need to be warned. They are all on the alert When feeding they do post a sentry, and he caws when danger approaches and takes to wing They do not dart into bush when pursued by king bird or a purple martin; they are not afraid of a hawk they cannot count six, though such tra- ditions exist (Silver Spot could count thlrtyD; they do not cav when you stand under them in winter to turn their course; they do not drill their young they do not flock together in June; they cannot worry a fox into giving up half his dinner; they do not. so far as we know, have perpetual sentries; they have no calls that so far as we know, answer to our words Mount" Bunch" Seat ter" Descend Form Line" Forage on these and other points my observa- tions differ radically from Mir.

Destroying the Carp.

Not a few lakes and rivers in this state are afflicted with carp that mis- guided persons brought from Germany about twenty-five years ago and placed in American waters. They prey upon the native fish, or rather upon their spawn, and they are fast becoming monarchs of all the fluid in sight. And they are not food-fish at all, their flesh being rank, coarse and muddy tasting" In the larger lakes and streams of the state these voracious fish grow as large as hogs, and they destroy all game fish, and are utterly valueless themselves.
 Henry Berger, Jr., of Pennsylvania, offers to rid any lake or stream of carp at a cost of about $200 He seines out the carp, and he places pike in their place that will kill the young carp which escape the net He claims < to be able to rid any body of water of reasonable size of carp in two sea 2 sons.
 $ There are many places in this state that need the services of Mr. Berger, for all the waters that hold carp are valueless for other fish purposes. The carp will destroy all other fish. They are not gamey at all, but they root around where the eggs of other fish are deposited, thus preventing the breeding of other fish. Every one of !. them should be driven out, and if Mir. Berger can do 1t he is a man whose fservices are needed in this state.

Patient and Surgeon.

From the Chicago News.
 Judge Tuley's decision in the suit brought against a Chicago surgeon on the ground that he used the knife on a patient without securing proper consent opens up a question of deep interest. In awarding s3o0O damages to the plaintiff the court declares it's conviction that the surgeon performing the operation evidently regarded is as trihing mat ter and ''believed he had the right, II he thought the patient would De pene- fited by such an operation, to use ms own judgment and act upon It without regard as to what the patient or her friends might desire
 The decision seems to rest on prln- ciple which will be recognized generally as sound. So long as an adult person remains in possession of his mental faoul- ties he has the right to speak the final word as to what course shall be taken in a matter affecting his own health. His right to decide is one of his civil rights. The difficulty lies in the fact that in the varied circumstances which may arise eases are conceivable wherein the sur geon must decide whether or not the patient is actually in fit condition to as- sume the responsibility of a decision. The surgeon has to face a wide range of con- tingencies, from that of the patient brought in hysterical and dazed from a recent accident to that of the patient gradually succumbing to some slow mal- ady.

The pro- posed building would be not a bit too expensive or too fine to meet the pres ent needs of this district to say noth- ing of the coming needs of a commu- nity that will be both populous and prosperous.
 The Age-Herald is convinced that the business men of this district will see that this is the time to build a home for the young men of the dis

 As a movement in behalf of the young men of this city and district it has distinctly humanitarian side. It would save to society valuable lives that might otherwise-in some cases that certainly would-go to the dogs. The saving of even one life is worth considerable effort and sacrifice, and The Age-Herald trusts the good people of this city and district will take hold of the matter and push it this spring to the desired consumniation. Let us have here 9 worthy building devoted to young 'a1en-2 a erallyihg plare for tAehr activities, and a place in which they can spend their leisure moments without mourning risks f, moral health.

Tribune furnishes that journal with two-column account of the work of James Lindsay of Dundee, Scotland, who as long ago as 1S44 succeeded in telegraph ing messages across ponds without wires. In 1859 Lindsay read paper before the British association on the possibilities of wireless telegraphy. How much of the truly prophetic vision this brilliant Seotchman must have had is shown by the fact that as early as 1881 he was deiv- erng lectures in which he predicted that within a few years houses and cities would be lighted by electricity instead Of gas, and heated by 1t instead of coal; and he also demonstrated the facility with which wheels could be turned and pull leys raised by electric power, and forecast the substitution of electricity for steam as motor for machinery, MT.
