LETTER TO ]. O. BLOHM & SON,

Dear Sirs: The Trustees of Fair
Ground. CJbleskill, N Y, were glad
to pay l5 cents u gallon more for
Devoe; and no wonder. Two 9th
er paint agents said it would take
$50 gallons of their paint TO cover
the buildings.
Our agents put it at 1875 or less.
1t took ll5.
We saved them 35 gallons of
paint and painting (worth 81 to S.
IL gallon, as the painting costs two
or three times as much az the
paint) less 10 cents gallon on ll5
gallons. Say $l40.
That's how to count the cost of
paint. The cost Of putting it on is
is or ~ a gallon. You see what
that means. Go by Devoe.

having gone ashore at Guam and the
possibility of the six months stores for
the cable colony on Midway not being
delivered for some time, the u. S. 6.
Iroquois may receive orders to go direct
to Midway with supplies to relieve the
situation.
The colony is not without supplies,
but it's luxuries have given out. The
Scotia had enough supplies to last the
colony until next October or November,
but there is no definite time fixed for
her being put into condition again to
resume her voyage to Honolulu via
Midway.
The transport Buford, which is on the
way to Honolulu from San Francisco
is scheduled to call at Midway en- route
to Manila, as she is loaded with a
quantity of supplies of all kinds for
the cable colony The Buford may
therefore relieve the Iroquois of the
necessity of making the cruise.

entine Mary Hendry, now at Barbados,
states that during a recent cruise on
the African coast he entertained King
Ogby, the ruler of the Jakrimen, who
inhabit Southern Nigeria.
The dusky monarch was Impress
ed with the vessel. While feasting on
roast pork he inquired If it was the
flesh of a white man. The king has
over a thousand slaves, numerous
wives, and quite a crowd of children.
Captain Foote asked him for piece
of tanned skin with which to make a
pair of slippers, and the next day a
slave came to. the vessel with a parcel
from the monarch. 1t contained the
hide, from the neck to the waist. of
a negro, who had been killed by order

SMALL FARMING
IN THIS TERRITORY

Every legitimate effort to encourage
this form OF industry for these Islands
is worthy of commentator. On this
point there can be but little differ
ence of opinion. The advantage of
having an intelligent, Industrious class
group with their interests rooted in the
soil, is so great from every point of
view that II cannot but be desirable
to every clear-minded person. About
the only ground for difference of opin-
ion would seem to be as to the source
from which this part of our population
should be derived. Should it be sought
entirely from the mainland, or should
We attempt to furnish ii from the
young people growing up on the
ground? The true answer probably is
that it should be derived from both
these sources. The present tendency,
however, seems to be to emphasize the
Importance of the former to the neglect
of the latter. This is doubtless be-
cause this is the easier and apparently
the more promising method. and any
one who is acquainted with the difficult
ties that would attend the raising up
of an intelligent farming class from the
youth of our various races will not be
too hasty in condemning it. Still, a
true foresight will keep all the elements
of the problem in view. We must re-
member that many at least of these
people are here to stay, and so far as
they do not learn to carry on some
form of honest industry they are likely
to swell the pauper and criminal class
es A man with fixed place of abode
which he can call his own, is more
likely to become a useful citizen and
respect the rights of others, than one
who has no such attachment. 1t is al
ways desirable, therefore, that as many
as possible of the people of a country
have such places of abode. Then, too,
small farming in most places in these
Islands will never furnish more than
an economical living to the farmer,
Distance from markets and the nature
of the soil make this a practical GER
tainty. 1t is better, therefore, that
those who attempt it in these places
be those to whom these Islands are
home, and who would prefer to be
mere WIN SUlull means ralner imam Try
life elsewhere. A disconnected class,
without means to get away, would be
an element of weakness rather than
strength to the community.
Some products of the soil, such as
sisal and pineapples, seem destined to
be successfully grown here. To those
who have capital to make a beginning
with such crops there seems good
prospect of success, provided the work
is carried on with diligence and intel
ligence. Such farming WILL however,
be for the few and not for the many.
The majority must be content with
other and less profitable crops which
can be raised more quickly and with
less outlay of money. For, this class
of farming, we believe it would be a
mistake for the American farmer to
come. He can do better at home. He
has there broader opportunities and if
he fails in one place it is not so diff
cult to get away to another as IL would
be here. Let educators and govern
ment officials study the question more
deeply of raising up small farmers
from our own people.-Rev. ]. Leading

The Midway Light.

While the Iroquois was at Midway
last fall Captain Rodman left light
there to be used for lighthouse pur-
poses. This was done owing to the
number of vessels which now pass close
to the cable island. Should the lro-
quois go to Midway in the near future
the local lighthouse inspector may OBJ
tain orders from Washington to have
the light incorporated in the system
of lights of the United States, to be
maintained as portion of the district
under his supervision.
