in Honolulu harbor. There on the lefe
was the great Oregon. like big mastiff
guarding it's offspring, famous for
great performances in speed and the
accuracy of aim of her deadly 1S-inch
guns at the battle of Santiago, and at
the opposite end was the cruiser
Raleigh, one of the vessels OF the
squadron of Dewey when he won his
signal victory at Manila. The other
two, important factors in the making
of a great squadron, have yet to re-
ceive their battle baptism. Nearby
was the fourth member of the cruiser
squadron, and the two huge newest ad4#
ditions to the battleship strength, they
Kentucky and Wisconsin, lay close by
at the Naval Docks.
IMPRESSIVE SIGHT.
Even the officers of the two squad
rons Were impressed by the sight and
it was a source of pride TO them that
here had gathered one of the strongest
of modern American fleets. But the
gathering of the fleet was not so much
matter of pride as the squadron
maneuvers which each had maintained
all the way across the Pacific.
COAL Is READY.
The flagship Kentucky had hardly
time to get acquainted with her berth
before two big scows loaded with coal
We're alongside the vessel, while ton
after ton was deposited upon the docks.
1t is the intention of the flagship to
commence taking in coal at 6 o'clock
this morning. Two hundred tons per
hour is the record of the battleship. It
is expected she will be entirely coalei
by noon today. The Wisconsin will be-
gin taking on coal at the same time
and every effort will be made by the
Naval Station to load the entire fleet
within the space of few days.
The coaling of the fleet is to be made
a matter of record to add to the fleet
maneuvers SO far across the Pacific.
The coal capacity of each vessel is as
follows:
Kentucky, 1910 tons.
Wisconsin, 1900 tons.
Oregon, 1150 tons.
New Orleans, 500 tons.
Albany, 500 tons.
Cincinnati, 500 tons.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1903-12-17

Raleigh, 500 tons.
Making a total of about $50 tons. It
is estimated that the fleet will take ON
about 5000 tons in round numbers.
When the collier Pompey, attached to
the cruiser squadron, and the collier
Nan Shang, attached to the battleship
squadron, arrive, both vessels will re-
quire several hundred tons of coal in
addition.
The Pompey was left behind by the
fleet being too slow to keep up with it.
The cruisers reported at Midway last
Saturday shortly after the noon hour,
and the Pompey was reported to Homo
lulu from Midway in the evening, as
having sent a boat ashore to take off
mail. She may arrive here this evening
or tomorrow. The collier Nan Shang
left Yokohama twelve hours before the
battleships, and possibly may not show
up until next week.
BANDS ON BATTLESHIPS.
A little after the noon hour, when
Admiral Evans was returning from his
, visit to Admiral Terry, the crews and
marines We're mustered and the two
battleship bands were stationed on the
quarterdecks. The Kentucky band
played selection and as soon as it
ceased that on the Wisconsin played.
There is a possibility of feast of
music in town should the commanders
give permission for the bands to play
at the various parks in the city. The
Hawaiian Government band is certain
to visit the various vessels of the fleet
to give it's customary complimentary
concert.
ARMY OF SAILORS.
It is estimated that there are about
$500 sailors and marines on all the YES
sells of the fleet. The flagship Ken
lucky carries 500 men in the crew and
seventy-two marines, giving a total of
665 men. The Wisconsin carries about
the same number and the Oregon a
slightly smaller crew. Each of the
cruisers will carry about $50 men, or
, about 400 men. With the arrival Of
the Solace there will be a number of
. changes, as there are a large number
of men whose enlistments are about to
expire.
BATTLESHIP NEWSPAPERS.
The three battleships are equipped
with printing departments, where hand
presses, type fonts and all the adjuncts
! of printing shop on a small scale are
to be found.
On the Kentucky there is a monthly
publication called 1.-THE Open Door" is

when the electric wincheS slowed the
stern of the vessel over to the wharf.
All was done in the most approved
manner the great ship of war being
handled as if she were a yacht. The
vessel arrived alongside the dock at 10
o'clock. Sentries guarded the entrances
sailors or officers were permitted upon
them.
AS soon as the gangplanks were down
the crews were piped, the marines stood
at attention with guns at the present
arms, and shortly Rear Admiral Silas
w. Terry, u. S. N, Commandant of the
Naval Station, accompanied by Lieu
tenant Commander Hugh Rodman, L.
S. N, went aboard the flagship to pay
their respects to Admiral Evans. Up
on their departure the usual salute for
an Admiral was given by the starboard
secondary battery of the flagship.
BATTLESHIP WISCONSIN.
Hardly had the smoke cleared away
than the battleship Wisconsin was seen
steaming down the channel. She was
also beautifully handled and answer
ed her helm perfectly when once in
side the narrow limits of the harbor.
Her decks swarmed with jackies. She
looked not less massive than the flag
ship although she has not the high
superposed turrets of the Kentucky.

the Asiatic Station from San Francisco,

manship. Captain Burwell and his ex-
eeutive officers displayed their usual
judgment in swinging the massive yes
sci around in the narrow channel be-

HAWAIIAN BAND PLAYS.

The Hawaiian Government band, I'M
der the leadership of Captain Heinrich
Berger, gave the big battleShips a mu-
steal welcome. The band was stationed
on the Waikiki end of the Pacific Mail
dock where National and patriotic airs
were rendered and We're applauded by
the jackies. For thirty years Captain
Berger has welded his baton in honor
of war vessels of every civilized nation
which have called at this port, but
never before has the music of Hawaii
been rendered for such an imposing ag-
gregation of American war vessels, the
greatest that the Mid-Pacific has ever
seen.
THE CRUISER SQUADRON.
In the meantime the four vessels of
the cruiser squadron swung at anchor
in tandem formation off the entrance
to the channel, the New Orleans in the
lead, facing toward Diamond Head.
AT regular intervals the other vessels
the Albany, Cincinnati and Raleigh,
held positions in the line in the order
named. They presented beautiful
and an imposing sight.
CRUISERS wIGwAGGED.
Upon arrival of the Kentucky at the
dock sailors We're sent up on the after
superposed turret and under the direc-
ton of an officer. where they wigwag-
ged to the cruiser fleet. An officer care
fully watched the fleet riding outside
and interpreted the answers, and there
was a stir visible upon the cruiser
decks.

When all the vessels were in the
harbor, late in the afternoon, an
amusing spectacle was that OF dozens
of sailors wigwagging with their arms
from vessel to vessel. The jackies
talked" in this manner with their
friends until the sun went down.

SIMPLY BREATHE IT
A Few Minutes Use Of Hyomei Four Times
Day Cures Catarrh.

The pleaSantest, most convenient
and the only scientific method for the
treatment and cure of catarrh is Hyo-
mel. Simply put twenty drops of Hy-
omei in the inhaler that comes with
every package and then breathe it for
few minutes four times day.
1tSeems remarkable that so simple
a way OF treating catarrh will effect
cure, but the most important dis
coveries of science have always been
the simplest. By breathing Hyomei
in this way every particle of air that
enters the air passages of that throat
and head and goes into the lungs is
charged with healing balsam that
kills the germs and bacilli of catarrh
and soothes and aIlays all irritation.
The first days use of Hyomei will
show a decided improvement and in a
short time there will be no further
trouble from catarrh. It's action is
rapid aud lasting.
You take no risk in buying Hyomei.
A complete outfit costs sl.Oo, and if
after using you ca.- say that it has
not helped you John E. DAILY will re-
turn your money. What other treat
ment for catarrh is sold under a
guarantee like this?

Says c. c. Packard, Who Re-
Gently Returned from Oregon
advice to Young Men.
ENUMERATES MANY OF
THE DISADVANTAGES
Railroads and Land Sharks Seem
to Conspire Against the -
81. Poor Man.

Il wish all young men who are
inclined TO GO out west would realize
that only the best picture of the
Pacific coast has been shown" said
c. G. Packard who has recently re-
turned from Oregon. Horace Greeley's
advice, go west, young man, and
grow up with the country should not
always be taken literally by everyone.
''To be successful on the west coast
nowadays the young man must first
of all have good stock of brains, a
quantity of money and an unlimited
stock of gaul. The people who make
the money do things on large scale
and gradually shut out those who have
little capital.
"Stock raising in the west is always
attractive to the young men living in
the east or the middle west. Gener-
ally speaking it takes at least four
men to run sheep ranch, TWO to tend
the sheep and two to provide pro-
the profit from the first year of stock
raising will start them Quit business,
but they forget the always probable
disease and billiards. and that they
must get money the next year to
replace their losses.
"You would be surprised to know
that there are many who think that
it is only necessary to buy four hun
dred head of stock cattle and the
money will come rolling in. They
fail to consider that almost all the
lands near the railroads are occupied
and that they must tramp from one
hundred to two hundred miles to get
a location. All supplies must be
transported over the mountains by
packmules and the best that can be
made is twenty-five miles day.
"a ranchman has anywhere from
1000 to $500 cattle. Most of these
ranchmen came out west early and
received their land from the govern
ment. They generally located near a
creek or river and their land extended
back to the mountains or until it met
another range on the other side.
''The lumber industry has a great
attraction for the young men. The
wages are good, but the board is very
high. The rainy season comes and
they must lie idle, thus losing all they
have earned during the dry season.

CROP In THIS STATE
SHOWS FALLING OFF

According to the state crop report,
issued by John M. True, secretary of
the state board of agriculture, the
season now closed was poorer than the
average for returns from farms. This
was due to the prevalence throughout
almost the entire summer of cold, wet
weather, inducing prolific and rank
growth of straw in grain crops, with
poor ripening and much loss by rust
and ''laying'' of the small grains, also
disastrous rotting of the considerably
increased acreage Of potatoes that
were planted this year in Wisconsin.
In the tobacco crop the returns are
good. The average yield per acre was
1850 pounds. If the moderately low
price of cents per pound were
received the return per acre would be
1924, which is more than the average
price of the farming land. The report
is in part as follows:
The season of 1903 falls below the
average, both in the yield per acre of
most Wisconsin farm crops, as also in
the quality of product. The cold, wet
weather is the cause.
AS result the yield per acre is less
than that of last year, and the
quality is also inferior. This is
especially the case with oats, which
were badly shrunken by rust, and
have also been seriously damaged in
the stack. Most of the grain is light
and inferior in feeding value.
The only crop that have been excel
lent are those of grass and hay, though
considerable trouble was experienced
in securing the latter crop, on account
of rain. A large proportion of the
farmers of the state are interested in
dairying, and to these the abundant
paSturage has brought rich returns.
The following tables show the
estimated yield per acre of the var
ious farm crops of the state, and the
quality of same, 100 representing a
number one product:

YIELD PER ACRE
MINNESOTA DECISION
NOT EFFECT THIS STATE

The decision of the supreme court
of the state of Minnesota, practically
annulling the law of the state for the
protection of deer, will have no effect
in the state of Wisconsin. This is
the declaration Of State Warden
Henry Overlook. He says that the
laws Of Wisconsin are not to be
knocked out by a decision of the
supreme court Of a neighboring state
and that if the Wisconsin protection
for deer is to be done away with a
case will have to be successfully taken
through the courts of this state. He
is of the opinion that the Wisconsin
conditions are not open to the attack
mafie in Minnesota. that our law is
not to be annulled by the courts and
that there is no danger that the
deer of the state, now more numerous
than for many years previous, will be
left open to general slaughter.
