Richard Harding Davis, Lawrence Meg zanovich, Alfred Steiglitz, w. B. Dyer and others of equally notable character. The stock in the company is now all sold with the exception of two shares, and the company is now holding them for some prOpitious day when they can sell them to J. Pierpont Morgan and Mark Twain. neither of whom have yet been approached on the subject.
 The intention of the company is to publish four unique volumes each year, a limited edition, to be sold by sub scription at a good price. The reason the. edition is to be limited is because it is to be expensive and the books are designed to be the height of artistic printing and novelty made. The first volume, which will be completed at an early day, is to be known as the Poker Rubaiyat," a parody on the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayam. It will contain twelve page cuts and twenty-four verses, both the pictures and the verses illustrating the thoughts of a player at different climaxes in a good game of poker
 The remarkable thing about this pro- ductiOn is that MT. Holmes engraving plant consists entirely of a jack knife and a liberal number of boxwood blocks. The pictures are not only en- graved with a jack knife but the text matter is also whittled out and the pie lures will be printed in colors and in the finest style on paper made express ly for this book. It is believed to be the smallest engraving establishment in the world and it expects to turn out the finest work. That the company will make a success of the enterprise is now almost beyond doubt. and it's future publications will probably return good interest on the money while the stock in the company will soar. What the future publications are to be is not yet announced.
 Meanwhile MT. Holmes is doing other things during his spare time. One of them that it is now time to mention is; the making of a front cover page for the Inland Printer, which the printing fraternity considers is, from the stand point of typographical art the finest publication in America, as it is the or gan of and supposed to set the pace for all high-class printers. The plates are now being made for this cover page anG 1t will appear in the February number of the magazine. Roughly speaking the page represents an old Washington 1 hand press, the boy with the ink roller. the pressman. etc. The bed of the press is shown and on it the forms contain ing the type, ali of which is whittled out with a jack knife. Mir. Holmes has also contributed some good things to the art literature of the world. among them series of articles on illustratin i which were also published in the Inland Printer, the last one appearing in the ] December issue. MT. Holmes is a quiet sort Of man and can hardly be found outside of his ''den" even with a search warrant, but when he is found he is very sociable and his newly made Ari- zona friends hope fer him the return of good health and the making of a , million dollars

FORT FIRED FIRST
 TIE GERMAN ASSAULT
An Explanation of the Assault on
 San Carlos.

Berlin, January Z3.-COmmOdore Schodor, commander of the German fleet in Venezuelan waters officially re- ported the bombardment of Fort San Carlos from Maracaibo under the date of January q as follows.
 "On the seventeenth instant while the. Panther was passing Maracaibo bar, she was unexpectedly attacked by Fort San Carlos which opened a heavy fire on her. To this the Panther re- piled and a cannonade was exchanged for half an hour. Owing to the diffi- culties oi navigation the Panther then desisted. In order to exact immediate punishment for this act the more SO as the Venezuelan government had pro- claimed victory, ! boInbarded the fort with the Vineta on the twenty first instant and destroyed it."

ranges from 200 to so feet in width. It is generally very shallow. The valleys upon it grow wider as you go down and there are bordering bench lands cov- cred with gravel but having a fairly good soil and one that will be excellent when treated with the muddy waters of the river.
 "To place water upon these bench lands will require numerous dams from fifty to 100 feet in height and from 800 to 1000 feet in length. As Yuma is approached the valleys widen out into the deserts of Arizona and southern California, but along this part of the river there are possibly millions 0f acres which may in time be brought under irrigation. Above and in the vicinity of Yuma dams have been made to divert the water by small ditches but owing to the large amount of sedi- ment carried by the water these ditches have been quickly filled and rendered useless.
 "One of the chief difficulties in utiliz- ing the Colorado is on account of the great amount of fine earth carried in suspension by the water. When the course of the water is checked this ma terial is dropped, filling the reservoirs and canals. It is necessary, therefore, to give the canals a slope so great that the water will run rapidly out at all times and not stagnate at any point until it is put upon the fields. There the fine earth serves to enrich the ground and perpetuate the fertility or the soil.'
 Are there any large works already in operation along the Colorado?" MT Newell was asked.
 Below Yuma, on the west side, water is taken out in a large ditch on the Mexican side of the international boundary and carried into natural channels which terminate in what is known as the Alamo or Salton river. The Salton river flows into the Salton sink, which lies partly in the United States and partly in Mexico. Water is now running from the Colorado river into the Salton sink, but it is necessary to keep al work constantly with dredges on this to keep open the channel from the river to the Alamo An appropriation of 10000 cubic feet per second of water has been made from the Colorado river, or about twice the amount of the low water flow. Only small part of this water is now actu- ally used. but if the lands are com- pletely developed 1t will be necessary to provide water storage on th5 headwaters of the upper Colorado to furnish the necessary water for the development of the lands in the United States.
 'The government is now giving somt consideration to this project. but o1 course our observations are merely fol the purpose of coming to a thorough understanding of the possibilities of al the arid region of the United States ir the irrigation field. This Colorado river project is one of vast expenditure with equally vast returns in the lant which would be available for settle . ment. With a number of others O. similar character it will serve as a sor of reserve outlet for increasing popu lation in the years to come My triI as whole was most interesting anC valuable and in course of time We vii be able to give some definite idea as |, what the expenditure in the building O ! reservoirs and other works of watel conservation would accomplish In tha section J.

sent entirely the views of the admin istration on what antitrust legislation should be enacted by this session of congress. It can be said to be the hope of President Roosevelt and his cabi- ret that the anti trust legislation along the lines indicated by Attorney General Knox in bills which he submitted to the house judiciary committee may be enacted at this session. Questions of the policy regarding the appointments in the south also were discussed by the cabinet. The administration has been considering the advisability of the issu- ance of an order regarding the fitness of candidates for office and the presi- dent talked the matter over with his advisers today. It was decided, how ever, not to prOmulgate any official pronounciamento of that sort.

The Chamber of Commerce at a
meeting yesterday agreed upon II
memorial to Congress asking protec-
ton for Hawaiian coffee, and also de-
cided to take separate action looking
towards having Honolulu made reg
ular port of call for TRANSPORTS. The
new bylaws of the Chamber were also
adopted
w. II. Hoogs presented the memorial
of the coffee committee. 1t began with
an enumeration of the principal in
dustries of Hawaii, as sugar, rice,
fruit and coffee growing. The memo
rial also advanced the proposition that
Congress had always been willing to
enact legislation to create conditions
favorable to the settling of small
tracts of land. Sugar cane, it was set
forth, can only be successfully grown
by large corporations because of the
great outlay of money at the outset
for irrigation and machinery. The
cultivation of rice, it was stated Is en-
tirely in the hands of Asiatics, because
only hand labor is possible.
Only the raising of coffee and of
citrus fruits, it was argued, is left for
American farmers. Land had been
divided by the government into small
tracts and given to Hawaiians and
Americans and put under coffee cul-
tivation. The decline in price and COM
petition had caused these settlers to
suffer a severe loss and as result
coffee growing was stopped, and the
plantations are now covered with rank
vegetation.
acres of land in Hawaii are available
for coffee growing, of which 10000 are
under cultivation. The annual outpnt
now Is 1000 tons, but with protection
1t is set out that in ten years the pro-
duction will equal $50 900 tons. An ad-
vance of four or five cents per pound
will make the cultivation profitable
and will cause a demand for land from
citizen farmers. 1t was further put
forth, that there is at present necessi-
ty for creating n better understanding
of citizenship, social and industrial
conditions will be bettered by bring

WHIPPING POST

II regret there is no whipping post
in Hawaii, for this is just the case
where the punishment requires the pris-
oner to be logged
Judge Lindsay uttered these words
in the police court yesterday morning,
Introductory to imposing a sentence of
ten days at hard labor upon Alex.
Craig for brutally whipping the latter's
eight-year-old boy on September I. A
nodding of heads in various parts of
the room indicated that a consensus
of opinion favored the judges recon-
mendation.
Craig stood before the magistrate
admitting that he had lost his temper
to such an extent over some domestic
triviality that he had used a heavy
soled shoe on his boy, injuring the
little fellows head which prevented his
appearance in court yesterday. Yes,
sir, l admit it, but I couldn't help it,
for my temper got the best of me-" said
Alexander.
you struck him on the head with
a shoe?"
Yes, sir"
The boys mother, who is herself suf-
fering from bodily injuries, testified
as to the manner of Craigs method in
Furnishing his child
Il am really sorry that the Delaware
whipping post is not in use here, Mr..
Craig, for if it was l would sentence
you to jolly good logging. It's just
what you need"
