On tie 1903 taxes Barber county will
be up against a deficiency on its state
fund. Our valuation as returned by the
assessors and equaliZed by the com
missioners. is $2.005, ,0l5. The State
Board raised it to 81 245 .333 The state
levy as fixed by the State Board is Ga
mills. The commissioners, instead Of
makIrg aleyy of 6 mills on a valuation
of 2,245 ,333, made a levy Of mills on the
original valuation Of $2,005 Ol5 This,
presuming that all the tax will be paid,
will leave a small deficiency. The irreg-
ularity is due to the fact that the state
Board tampered with the valuation
after the County Board of EQUALIZATION
had completed its work, and the latter
altered it as near as they could by IN.
creasing the levy.
Any person who cares to know how
things are running at state head
quarters can find out by employing q
little simple addition and subtraction
with these figures. If the ratio in-
creases as much during the next four
years as it has in the past four, Barber
county will indeedibe doing handsomely
by the machine"

Jacks Shore Clothes.

The American man-of- war s-man
does not look natty enough when he
goes ashore, some naval officers think,
and they are urging the Navy De-
partment to increase his wardrobe,
the increase suggested to consist of
what is known as a muster jacket. Tt
is a sort of bobtail dress coat, made
of blue cloth and decorated with
brass buttons. Years ago, before any
living naval officer can remember,
the men of the United States Navy
had muster jacket, which got it's
name from being always worn at
Sunday morning inspection
Pictures of blue-jackets of the War
of 1912 show them wearing this gar
ment. A sample of the proposed mus
ter jacket has been made and was
recently examined by the officials of
the Navy Department. Foreign men,
of-war' s-men have such jackets, and
it is contended that they present, on
that account, much natter ap-
pearance than the coatless American
sailors.

HENRY E. COOPER.

The Advertiser does not agree with
character and public services of Henry
E. Cooper.
That Mr.. Cooper has convictions and
courage was evidenced by his accepting
the craftsmanship of The Committee of
Safety which overthrow the monarchy.
That he is of versatile ability is shown
by the variety of public offices that he
has filled, and filed well. That he is
a man of high executive ability and
untiring energy is unqualifiedly admit
ted, even by those who are opposed to
him.
He has at times done things which
the Advertiser did not approve, and it
has not hesitated to say so, nor will it
fail in the future to criticize his public
acts and policy when it deems that the
public interests require such criticism:
but the Advertiser has had presented to
it no evidence that Mr.. Cooper is other
than an honest and efficient public of
ficer who is giving the public good SER
vice. That he spends more time in at
tending to the duties of his office, than
in kow towing to political committees
is to his credit rather than otherwise.
Mr. Cooper deserves well of this COM
munity, and if his ambitions lead him
to seek higher political office than he
now holds, there is no reason why he
should not do so.
If he is ever appointed Governor of
Hawaii, the Territory will be certain of
an energetic. progressive and business
like administration of affairs.

OUR COALlNG FACILITIES.

one suggestion which Assistant
SUPERINTENDENT Marston Campbell
brings from his tour of inspection on
the mainland should be needed. This
| is the improvement in the facilities for
Icoa1ing vessels in Honolulu.
The methods in vogue for the coaling
of large vessels are crude, and entirely
| inadequate to the Importance of Homo
lulu, as a port of call for the half dozen
steamship companies which do business
here. And until there is some improve
ment in the methods of handling YES
sells while in port, it will be difficult to
convince other steamship lines. that
they can do business here.
At present coal is unloaded upon the
wharves, then picked up again and
hauled in carts TO the storage piles. To
coal a vessel it becomes necessary to
handle the same coal four and often five
times, increasing the cost to the con-
sumner at least ten per cent.
One of the chief obstacles with which
the Merchants Association met in ar
ranging to get the transport service for
Honolulu, was the lack of coal And
the only reason for not being able to
isfactory price, is the cost of handling
it. While there is not such a difference
in the actual quotation on coal in Ho-
nolulu, as compared to San Francisco,
the cost of coaling is from seventy-five
cents to a dollar per ton greater. AS
long as it costs three or four hundred
dollars more for fuel at Honolulu than
at other Pacific ports, steamship COM
panies are not going out of their way
ports which are run on the same bust
ness basis. Mr.. Campbell recommends
the construction of coal bunkers by the
Territory, such as are now in use IN
San Francisco, New York and other
ports where the shipping interests are
important. In other cities private cor
porations have undertaken the estab-
lishment Of coal bunkers in which fuel
is stored, ready to be loaded directly
into a steamer at minimum cost, and
without delay. In the reconstruction of
the wharf system for Honolulu, the
coal bunkers should be provided, if not
by private enterprise, then from the
public purse. Even if operated at a
loss, up-to-date coal bunkers would be
paying investment for the Territory
and the project is one to which the
commercial bodies should give their i'm
mediate attention with an assurance
that it would be well repaid.

ISLAND BOY KILLED
IN CALIFORNIA

>Melville Monsarrat, only son of Mr.
and Mrs. Julian Monsarrat, Kapapala
Hawaii, died in California on Sunday
from the effect of having been acct
dentally shot on Saturday. No details
beyond the foregoing were given III the
cablegram received on Sunday, but it
is surmised that young Monsarrat was
hunting when lie met with the sad acct
dent. The news was cabled by Sam
Monsarrat, uncle of the unfortunate
lad, who has lived IN San Francisco
many years and was probably with his
nephew when the latter died.
The Hawaiian boy who came to such
an untimely end was eighteen years of
age and of fine promise from his char
acter and attachments. Three years
ago his parents sent him to school at
Belmont, California, and he came home
last year for is vacation.
Yesterday a physician accompanied
relatives in the Iwalani for Kau, with
the purpose of breaking the news to
the parents and bringing them to
Honolulu. Their sons body will be
brought here in the Sierra due a week
from tomorrow. The Advertiser yes
terday kept it's promise to withhold the
sad tidings from publication so as to
prevent a sudden shock to the bereaved
parents.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA'
IRIS, A FLOATING
NAVY YARD, ARRIVES

A floating navy yard arrived in port
yesterday from Manila via Guam, en-
route to San Francisco. This novel adj
junct to Uncle Sans navy is the L.
S. supply ship Iris, which came into
the harbor flying homeward bound
the vessel as she berthed at Naval
Dock No. 2.
The Iris had tempestuous voyage
from Manila, being thirty-one days out
from Manila and twenty-five days from
Guam. The vessels peeled sides bear
evidence of the hard trip, and the Of
ficers show the strain to which they
were subjected in the past three weeks.
There were but two line officers, sur
geon, two boatswain and warrant
machinist, to navigate the ship and
during the succession of gales encoun-
tered they had to put in all the time
possible. Sleep was at premium, but
in spite of difficulties the ship was
brought safely to port.
Lieut.. II. P. Price is in command,
with Ensign r. T. Manners, his exec
utive officer. Assistant Surgeon Peck
also was impressed into active sea SER
vice, beside looking after the ills of
the crew. Boatswain Clancy, Boat
swain Leerdorf and Warrant Machinist
Barentson completed the list of officers.
Lieut.. Price was formerly in Honolulu
on the Baltimore.
AS soon as the Iris locked yesterday
he went ashore and reported his arrival
to Admiral Terry.
The Iris has been on the Asiatic sta
ton since 1898. She was bought by
the Navy early during the Spanish war
and converted into a distilling shop. 1t
was the province of the Iris to carry
on board almost anything in the line
of repairs needed by the warships on
the Asiatic station. When minor re-
pairs We're necessary aboard a war
vessel, the Iris was despatched to her.
Supplies of a thousand kinds We're kept
in store, and about 1000 tons of coal
was about the average cargo she car
ried to be supplied to vessels in need. |
There was ammunition, fresh distilled
water. and a complete machine shop.
The latter was taken out and left at
Cavite just before the vessel started on
her homeward bound trip. About 23I 900
gallons of water can be distilled per
day.
The vessel will remain in port about |
a week and will then proceed to Mare
Island where she will undergo extern !
sive repairs.
About a dozen military prisoners are
aboard in irons and under guard, en-
route to AlcatraZ.
AT Guam three seamen were taken
aboard to be carried to San Francisco.
These men were left at Guam some
time ago by a whaler. 1t is claimed
they were purposely left behind, or as
one of the distressed seamen" ex-
pressed il. "Marooned.'
The vessel was extremely light and
top heavy and consequently rolled
heavily-at times, about forty degrees.
