Tourist Travel for Hawaii.

INFORMATION
Pratt Asks for Amount
of Largest Fire
Claims.

F. W. Macfarlane, chairman Of the
ceived a cablegram from ]. G. Pratt at
Washington asking for further infor-
nation as to the amount of the award
to the zee wo Chan Co. The matter
was probably up for consideration in
connection with the Fire Claims bill,
and Mr.. Pratt very likely was asked
for the information.
The zee Wo Chan claim was the
largest presented to the Fire Claims
commission, though not the largest
award The claim was for s77, 7O3.7S for
buildings and merchandise destroyed in
the stores situated on Maunakea street,
between King and Hotel streets.
The claim was for sS.O15 for the de-
struction of several iron-clad buildings,
$2.21S.60 for fixtures destroyed and
s67, % for loss on stock of merchan-
disc. On this amount the claim shows
that $4,000 insurance was carried, of
which 81, 709.70 had been paid.
The award made by the Fire Com
mission was $50, 265.45 for the destruc-
ton of the property, and $12, 709 of this
amount was subrogated to the insur-
ance companies. AS no award was
made to the insurance companies the
total amount allowed IN the Yea TVO
Chan Co. is but $23 $3.50 A statement
as to this award was forwarded to Mr.
Pratt by cable.

Walter E. Connen, the New York
Junior Checker champion, who played
so cleverly last Saturday evening in the
Y NJ. c. A. against ten opponents az
the same time, has consented to play
there again this evening, commencing
at 7:30 o'clock. Nearly one hundred
and fifty spectators were present at
the last simultaneous contest and wit
messed a tournament well worth seeing.
ConneII at that time routed eight of the
ten players, was defeated by one man,

The high wind last Saturday played
havoc with the small craft in the
mouth of the White Salmon. The sail
boat of A. J. Haynes, the mail carrier,
was beached and badly damaged, re-
quiring two days work to repair it,
The boats of Amos Underwood and C..
Arson were also damaged, and the ferry
scow was piled upon the sands. 1t
seems that whenever the water of the
Columbia is at the stage it was last
week the least wind storm is apt to
swamp the boats. The damage was all
done within a few minutes.
The Columbia River and Northern
surveyors, who were at Underwood a
couple weeks ago, continued up the
river bank to Lyle, and have now re-
turned to ChenOweth. From the sur
veyors it was learned that the work is
for the location Of a telephone line, but
in the minds of many there are sus-
picions of a railroad The telephone
line will in all probability be put up
soon and will give service to the north
bank of the Columbia all the way from
Vancouver to Lyle. This will be par
ticularly handy in giving notification
of the arrival of steamboats,.
The Menominee Lumber company
has several million feet of logs at the
mouth of White Salmon, while logs are
piled on the banks of the stream for a
distance of IS miles. The logs are of
excellent quality. A pile driver is now
driving piles at the lower end of the
boom, to permit the removing of logs
in RATS. About l25, 900 feet are towed
at one time to the saw mill at Nicolai
When the weather is calm, three or
more trips are made a day, but most of
the rafting is done after the wind re-
cedes in the evening

Stevenson Saturday and made the Pio-
neer office a pleasant call. They are
accompanied on this trip by their wives
who are, OF course, delighted with the
West. Mr.. Hirshheimer says the plant
of the company is to be further improved
soon by substituting two new band saws
for the re-saw now being used. The
company suffered heavily last year by
forest fires in this county. This forces
it to log, cut and sell the burned timber
as rapidly as possible.
Manager II. c. Campbell was in Ste
venson early this week when he made
arrangements with the Stevenson Wharf
company for the transfer of the dock to
his company. Though the old dock has
cost in the neighborhood of $1,000, and
includes valuable water frontage as
we'll, the consideration is nominal, the
company, however, binding themselves
to construct high and low water dock
and keep it in good repair. Accordingly
the new dock will be several feet higher
and will be a gradual incline until the
high ground is reached The driveway
will be wider than at present, with
ample room for wagon to turn around
at the landing. A commodious ware
house will also be built The company

Colorado Experiment Sta
tons Method of Getting
Rid of the Pests
YOUNG MAY BE POISONED
Formulas Suggested-the Grass
hopper Catcher May BE
Used

A bulletin which has just been is
sued from the Colorado experiment
station gives the best method for ex-
terminating grasshoppers. Below is
brief synopsis of the bulletin:
"All our specially destructive grass
hoppers spend the winter in egg state
In the ground usually about an inch
from the surface. These eggs hatch
with the coming of vegetation in the
early spring. The best artificial rem
edy, where it can be used, is plowing
late in the fall or early in spring
along ditch banks, borders of the field
VIII. re grasshoppers or eggs are usual
IL found. Thorough narrowing with
a disc harrow will do much to destroy
in large numbers and by covering the
ground with straw and then burning
1t.
Young hoppers may also be pois-
oned in large numbers by thoroughly
spraying weeds and other vegetation
where they are Matching with any OF
the arsenical poisons, as Paris green
arsenate of lime or lead. These pois-
ons should be used rather strong. Lat
er, when the hoppers get into the
crops they may be poisoned quite sue
cessfully by the use of arsenic bran
mash. Mix a pound of Paris green OF
white arsenic with twenty pounds O
bran, moisten enough with water 81
that the particles will adhere together
in a crumbly mass. and then SOW
broadcast where the hoppers are mos
abundant. Do not use this where th'
chickens range.
For open fields the hopper catcher
is probably the best remedy. This II

ten feet lond and one or two feet deer
