Gam Leaves from Black Creek.

TO the Editor OF the Dispatch:
This community is blessed with
good health and We are grateful for
the rich blessings.
We have had very dry season up
to this writing, having had just
enough rain to keep crops growing
and not to stop Us from plowing, un-
til to day We had fine lain, the
sbest since early spring.
Potato draws are scarce everywhere.
The crops in this community are
fne, and
Soon we'll lay away our bright worn
blades,
And we ourselves to rest in the
shade;
For tru. We have toiled with all our
might,
And With General Grab We had
hard fgh,;
But victory ls ours
Through dry hot houre;
And by the sweat of our face
Well eat bread and say grace.
You will remember this writer gave
an account of strange acting calf Of
MIR. R. E Miiler's that died last
spring. Now Mr.. Miller's cow has
went mad and was killed by this
writer last Monday morning week
ago. This is a bad loss to Mr..
Miller and no doubt caused by care
lessness of some party with some
little fee dog and not worth the
powder it would have taken to kill it.
Well, "Klondike," you bit 'em
right on the road subject. Ii you
want good roads elect men that are
in favor of good roads and let them
appoint overseeres who believe in
working the roads, and make the
road tax three or four dollars instead
of one dollar, and We will have good
roads. We have a man down Lere
who will have the roads worked K.
if YOU will insure his election.
As Klondike said, We must report
the new babes. Jack Rowe has gone
wild because there are two at his
house, and they are the kind with
which Roosevelt loves to dine. But
+hevvill not vote. Traveller.

A SPECIAL SESSION CALLED.

THE GOVERNOR CANNOT AT
FORD TO BET THOUSANDS OF
DOLLARS OF THE TAXPAYERS
MONEY THAT A LEGISLATURE
WHICH WENT BACK ON ALL IT'S
PLEDGES TO THEM WILL KEEP
IT'S PROMISES TO HIM.
But he has chosen to do so in the
terms of a proclamation calling a spe-
cial session and must make the best
of 1t. So must the people who will
foot the bills. OF course the expert
ment will fail because a majority in
the House and a strong minority in the
Senate are entirely willing to see the
white taxpayers cinched and would
rather have taxes increased than les
sened. The bulk of the taxes would
not come out of their political hackers
but out of men they hate; the outlay,
in the main. would go to their friends.
If such a predatory outfit as the Solid
Thirteen could be induced to cut down
salaries, for instance, it would lop off
those of competent white officials and
as assuredly add larger amounts to the
incomes of anti-haole officials, thus
compelling the Governor to veto where
he had hoped to approve.
There cannot be grapes of thorns nor
figs of thistles, and a Legislature which
was redolent of scandal during its reg
ular and extra sessions and which three
grand juries in succession have de-
nounced, cannot be depended on to re-
form the methods of spending Territor-
ial money. The indicted leader Ku-
malae is a type of the class which runs
the House and runs it on the principle
of additio division and silence. Ala
Baba's Forty Thieves would have made
a better treasury guard than Kuma-
lae's Thirteen, as they would have had
more fear of the consequences If
caught running away with the funds.

years of short supply in India Japan
turns to the United states for It's raw
cotton. but In years of plentiful supply
in India large proportion OF the raw
cotton purchases of Japan are the
product of India. In cotton manufac-
lures China is the most important Gus
toner. The exports of cotton manufac-
lures to China in the past year have
materially fallen Off, though the re-
duction in imports of American cottons
into China is no greater proportionate-
ly than the reduction in such imports
from other countries. This reduction in
of cotton goods into China
is due in part to the unsettled condi-
tons which have prevailed during the
year. and in part to the increased i'm
portations of cotton yarn and increased
production of cotton goods.

OUR COMMERCE WITH The EAST.

The total commerce of the territory
fronting upon and Immediately ada
cent to the scene of present hostilities
aggregates, in round terms, about $780,
100000, of which considerably more than
one-half is imports. Japan's commerce
is about equally divided between i'm
ports and exports, but in the case of
China and Asiatic Russia imports
greatly exceed exports, and this is also
true of Hongkong, which passes most of
its imports on into China and draws
from China most of the articles which
become its exports. Probably three
fifths of the total commerce of the
countries in question, taken as whole,
is in the form of imports, and the
| United States is year by year supplying
larger share of those imports of the
countries in question and gaining upon
other countries in the relative share
which ii supplies thereof. OF the eN-
ports from the countries named the
| United States is the largest single pur-
chaser. The tea, the raw silk, the man
ufactured silk, the rice, the mattings,
and other products of this character
which form the bulk of the exports of
China and Japan go more largely to the
| United States than to any other single
country of the world, while as To
Asiatic Russia and Korea their exports
are at present so small as To be OF lit
tie Importance in n discussion of the
commerce of the countries In question,
The more important OF the exports OF
the United States 10 the section I'm
question are cotton and cotton goods

TOURIST TRAVEL
FROM THE ORIENT

The Promotion Committee has been
working in the Orient and Colonies for
months endeavoring to get Worlds Fair
visitors to stop over here. Agents in
Sydney and Yokohama have been APP
pointed and are actively engaged in dis
tributing tourist literature for Hawaii
all through Japan, China. Korea and
Australia.
I'VE are making a great effort to Sc
cure our share of the Worlds Fair
travel" said Secretary Boyd yesterday
''and have been working with that end
In view for five months or more. The
difficulty has been in the uncertainty Of
securing accommodations for tourists
who wish to stop over here for one
steamer II Honolulu could be assured
of having steamer accommodations flr
lay-oVer passengers, every vessel would
leave its quota in Honolulu. The Ha-
wall Promotion Committee i'm further
ance OF this project made arrangements
some time ago to have cabled from
Yokohama, the number OF passengers
which can be accommodated on the
steamer then departing. BY this meth
cd. through passengers wishing 10 stop
over In Honolulu would learn whether
they could go on to the coast on the
next steamer, The lay-over passengers
are given the preference ON the through
steamers"

HILO'S OPPORTUNITY.

The Hilo Development Association
will find plenty to do. Hilo is the chief
town of the largest, the most fertile
and attractive island of the group and
it ought to become an important com
mercial city. But as its growth Will de-
pend upon that of Hawaii as a whole,
it can do no better than to devote the
best energies of its business men and
of it's Development Association to the
work of bringing in white settlers to
locate on public lands and raise special
export products. Settlers in the coun-
try make business for merchants in the
town; they build up commercial en-
poriums for their own convenience; and
anything like the number of white
farmers whom the big island could ac-
commodate would in time make Hilo n
rival of Honolulu, if not larger place.
once the farming tracts are occupied
with banana, pineapple, sisal, vanilla,
rubber, tobacco and dairy farmers, then
roads, railroads, steamships and big
town will follow.

The firing down the coast heard
from Yinkow must have been on or
near the Liaotong peninsula. 1t may
mean the landing of japanese troops or
1t may mean a bombardment or naval
battle. Either event of the three is
quite possible there. n glance at the
map--identifying Yinkow as NeWch-
wang-will show that the Japanese
could hardly seek better place to land
and attack the railroad than the west
ern littoral of the Liaotong peninsula.
The railroad line is near the coast and
the Japanese, by getting it, would east
ly isolate Port Arthur.

JAPANESE FOREIGN TRADE.

! In a recent report from Kobe, the
consul says that Japanese direct foreign
trade has already assumed such pro-
! portions that there Is now no question
concerning it's future progress.
Until the year 1901 the customs re-
turns showed its extent annually undet
the titles of Imports by japanese Mer-
chants" and Exports by Japanese
Merchants" but this feature of the for
eign trade has now been eliminated
from that document. During 1900, the
last year for which this characterize
ton was furnished Japanese merchants
were shown to have done thirty-eight
per cent. of Japan's total trade. THIS
consisted OF exports valued at S36,5i3,2o4
and imports valued at $50, l43,O51
The percentages of foreign trade eX-
plotted by japanese merchants have
been as follows:
1897 1898 1899 1900
Direct imports .... 80 SO Al 80
Direct exports . IS "a &c 81
Much of the foreign trade of japanese
merchants is being done with eastern
countries, but the returns show they
are also making large gains in the West
as competitors of the American and
European merchants at the open ports.
The total trade Of native merchants
durlng 1900 amounted to S92,6SI,lO5,
against S72,475, 3i3 in 1898, as follows:
