Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1903-04-26

Within the last few days the Soth-
ern Pacific has discharged 1000 of its
shopmen. At Sacramento the num-
Der let out was 800. The remainder
We're discharged from the shops in
Oakland, San Francisco. Los Angeles,
Ogden, TuScOn and Portland. The rea-
son given for the reduction is a lack
of work and a desire to cut down eX-
penses. By this reduction the com
pany will save at least $4,000 a
month in wages. Company officials
state that it is nothing new for the
company to let out a number of men
at this time of the year. Work in the
shops is slack just now and when it
improves themen let out will be put
back. 1t may be three or four months
before any of them are re-employed

WOULD ENDOW A
SHRINE TO FLORA
JAMES STEINER MAKES A PLEA
FOR THE LEI VENDORS, AND A
TOURIST SUGGESTION.

EDITOR OF THE STAR: Lately
there have appeared in the Honolulu
newspapers a number of suggestions
and pointers relative to tourists and
how to encourage tourist travel etc.
Permit me, Mr.. Editor, to bring
through your esteemed journal an OBJ
ject before the public which to my
mind deserves some attention also from
the Chamber of Commerce and the
Merchants Association. l am plead
ing for the Lei girls and to be more
general for that infant industry the
raising and selling of flowers, wreaths
ferns etc.
Very few people in Honolulu have any
idea how interesting to strangers and
all passengers of the steamers is the
sight of our picturesque lei and flower
vendors This little native industry
carried on as it is in haphazaru style
on the dirty sidewalks should be great
ly fostered. 1t is really one of our
most typical sights of native life in the
city. Just what the stranger and
tourist likes to see. But it deserves Of
improvement and better accommoda-
tion.
l only wish, that our next legisla-
ture could see it in the proper light and
set a space apart right in the heart of
the city. 1t must be very central
that's important Build a pavilion
rustic style from native trees thatched
with Palm leaves and grasses, native
fashion, surround that by a circular
lawn and walks.
Permit the lei and flower vendors to
occupy this spot for their trade. This
would make a very pleasing sight for
our coming tourist and passengers to
enjoy.
We haven't any too many interesting
show places, this one just outlined
could be easily supplied and in time
made quite feature of. The invest
ment wouldn't cost much; besides, it
would be paying a great compliment to
the natives and be very much appre-
ciated by them. 1t would also have
great tendency to enlarge the scope of
the struggling flower industry and give
great encouragement ito raise more
varieties in flowers, ferns, palms, etc,
which would soon make their appear
ance in the proposed flower Market.
All success for the new tourist at
traction, the Honolulu Flower Market
carried on in the open air by native
Hawaflans.

bananas. fish and oil that they may
bring better prices. The flesh OF men
Is said to be worth more than trat Of
women and to have better flavor.
Many OF the slaves are taken I'M war,
and a common taunt OF Congo cam
nibal to his adversary Is:
You shall rest In my stomach to-
morrow"
The most common OF the slave trad
ers have been the Arabs, who have
gradually moved down from northern
Africa. They are shrewder and brayer
than the Congo negroes and in the
past they have made business of
dealing in ivory and slaves Bands Of
them will collect lot of ivory, forcing
the villagers to aid them In doing SO.
They then kill off the useless members
OF the village and force the others 10
carry the ivory 20 the sea coast, where
they sell both ivory and bearers. the
latter going as slaves In the interior
slaves have been very cheap. A bottle
of gin was fair price for one, and n
few beads buttons or bright colored
cloths was enough to buy whole
family
Both the missionaries and the gov
eminent are to a certain extent doing
away with these practices, but Il viii
be long before they have abolished
them,
THE NEW RAILROADS.
The secretary Of the Congo state tells
me that the railways which have been
built there are prospecting, especially
the one about the oataracts. This rail-
way is $50 miles long. 1t runs about
20 miles south of the river connecting
Matad with Stanley Pool and Is now
open for traffic throughout It's length
Matndl is the farthest inland that the
ocean steamers can come. IL Is "A
thriving port right at the foot OF the
cataracts, The Begians have bullt
piers and docks there. They have es-
tablished warehouses and factories and
have made 1t one of the centers OF
African trade, The railroad begins az
Matadi and climbs the mountains
reaching a height Of something "
1900 feet above the sea. 1t goes
through a most picturesque region and
finally ends at Ndola a little east OF
Leopoldvile and under the shadow OF
Mount Leopold. The road was begun
in 1887 and two years later the Bel
giun government subscribed for two-
ilfths of its capital stock which alto
gether amounts to 100000. II took
nine years TO construct 1t and the cost
was about $4,000 a mile
THE SHIPPING OF THE CONGO.
The terminus Of this railroad might
be called the Chicago of the Congo, The
river Is navigable for steamers as large
as those on the Mississippi for a thous-
and miles further up and II has branch
es which communicate with almost
the whole Congo basin. Railroads are
now planned TO run from Stanleyville
on the Upper Congo to Lake Albert
Nyan2a and from Nyang to Lake Tan
ganylka. The latter road win be con-
nected by boats on the lake with the
railroad which is to be built by the
Germans from the Indian ocean some
where opposite Zanzibar to T6ngany-
ika, and then the trip across Africa
viii be comparatively easy These
roads will probably also have connec-
tion with the line which is to be built
from Cairo to the Cape.
Both the Lower and Upper Congo
have excellent steamers, There are
