HELEN BLAIR AND ST.
PAUL RACE TO MUSCATINE

One day recently the st. Paul and
the City of Winona had a race up
over the rapids, and according to all
accounts the little packet came out
ahead. Now the Muscatine journal
tells of a race between the Helen
Blair and the ST. Paul on the way
down from this city Wednesday af-
ternoon.
Parting the water from her bows
with a mighty curl, the Helen Blair,
p minutes ahead of her running
schedule from Davenport to this city,
tied up as the Diamond 10 liner St.
Paul, passed under the bridge in the
downward trip from Davenport last
evening. Passengers aboard the boat
state that the trip was record
breaker.
1.-The St Paul left few minutes
after the Helen Blair, so passengers
on board the Helen Blair state. the
latter boat leaving Rock Island at
1902 o'clock. A quick trip was made
TO Buffalo, and from there the Blair
skinned across the bows of the St.
Paul, which was then coming down
stream. and landed at Andalusia. The
ST. Paul. her engines beating rhythm
icaffy, passed ahead and out of sight
of the passengers on the Blair. No
time was wasted at the landing, and
as quickly as possible the Blair sour
ried out after her big rival, which was
at this time couple of miles down
the river. Breasting the rough water
left by the st. Paul. the smaller boat
steamed steadily down the river, slow
~ but surely drawing nearer the big
craft. Smoke belched from the fun
neIs of the Diamond 10 boat. On
board the St..Paul the men could be
seen working at the engines and
watching the approach of the smaller
craft. Near Fairport the two boats
were abreast. On board both craft
the steady. pulsating throb of the en-
gines shook the boat as under the i'm
petus Of extra pressure the craft tore
through the water. The river was
smooth and passengers on either boat
could see the reflection of the other
boat in the water. the surface of which
was soon tossed and churned to foam.
When half way down Geneva island
the Blair began pushing ahead. Soon
the high bridge was reached. and the
Blair was several hundred yards
ahead. Passing under the bridge she
shrieked her defiance at the St. Paul
in three long. triumphant toots of the
whistle and made for the landing, ar
irving there as the st. Paul passed I'M
der the bridge. The time was made
by the Blair in two hours and % min
utes. including stops. so the passen-
gers state. At the Diamond 10 ware
house ii was said If a race occurred
nothing was known of il there

James j. Hill, in Il statement not
long ago before the rivers and har-
bors committee of congress, said that
the traffic of the Mississippi and Ohio
rivers had touched bottom 20. years
ago and was now practically Il thing
of the past. Mr.. Hill went further.
and said that it would be a waste of
public money to spend it in the con-
struction of deep waterway from ST.
Paul to Cairo, as the railroads had
superseded the river as an outlet for
the great traffic of the northwest.
Mr.. Hill undoubtedly colored his
statement a trifie in the interest of
the railroads of the northwest, as the
recent report of the department of
commerce on the domestic commerce
of the United States do not bear out
his pessimistic view of the Missis-
sippi's value as traffic outlet. This
report gives for the first time the
tonnage of the river commerce at
Cairo. ILL., IT shows that for the three
months ending with March there ar

TO COAST TRADE ON THE ATLANTIC

rived and cleared at that port a total
of LAS vessels of registered tonnage
of 1,071,269 tons, the tonnage for
March being equal to that for Janu-
airy and February. The total through
movement of vessels at Cairo consist
ed of 1850 boats with a registered
tonnage of 1,O32,733 tons.
This means nothing perhaps, save
by comparison. But that river port
makes a good showing alongside of
coastwiseS trade. During the quarter
covered by the report there arrived at
Boston 1.517 vessels in the coasting
trade with a tonnage of 1,605,3SO; at
New York in the same period only
1,246 vessels in the coasting trade ar
rived. and the similar arrivals at Phil
adelpha numbered 1,091.
Here is comparison that shows the
Mississippi to be great highway of
trade even in its present condition.
and what it would become if a deep
channel was constructed from ST.
Paul to Cairo can only be imagined.

POLITICAL ROAD MAKING.

The Acting Governor has returned
from the other side of the island where
he found some of the roads in a miser-
able state. There are roads on this
side of the island and elsewhere in the
group which are no better; and we beg
leave to remark that they never will
be better so long as bodybuilding is a
matter of politics rather than of BUSH
ness.
? The theory of roadbuilding in all the
islands is this: To get the votes Of ma
tives we must keep them employed.
Their labor is unskilled hence the need
of its use on the roads if anywhere.
Once put on the highways the natives
must not be worked too hard or they
will revolt at the polls. To win their
votes is the first consideration. If we
can have good roads too, so much the
better if not, we must put up with
what we can get. Naturally enough the
roads don't amount to much.
No more aimless, shiftless, incompe-
tent work is done anywhere, under
civilized rule, than that which is
brought to bear in Hawaii on political
matchmaking.
1t takes longer to repair q half mile
of dirt road here than ii does to build
two miles of dirt road in California
through rough, new country; and at
the prevailing wages for political labor
it costs three times as much. Fur
thermore the repairs are not durable.
We doubt If they are intended to be.
= The ideal way TO build roads here is
to let the work out to responsible con-
tractors, empowered by law to hire
whom they please. Then when n ma
tive or anybody else works, he will
know that he must earn his pay. AS
things now are he knows that he will
not be dropped from the roll for
idling or mismanaging because of his
vote. The law has been framed to pro-
tect him from alien competition; the
Department of Public Works Goodies
him as political asset; the taxpayer
goes rocking and stumbling over bad
roads and pays the bill. The only adj
vantage of it all, if we understand the
newspaper apologists of the deal, is
that it trains the native in progressive
Americanism."

If we may trust the newspaper para
graphs, the blooming city of Los An

What is Los Angeles that it should

a stone into any crowd and hit some
one of royal blood. There are enough

The effect of the Panama canal on
the ports of South America is going to
be bad. Steamers that now run around
the Horn, stopping for supplies at this
or that southern port, will go direct via
Panama. There is a large business done
between Australia and Europe, the
east-bound vessels touching first at
Valparaiso, then at Montevideo, Rio
de Janeiro and Pernambuco in turn.
The length of the route to Europe is
1858 miles. Via the Panama canal,
however, the distance will be 1861
miles, space worth saving. general
decline in shipping business may be
expected at the great South American
ports as soon as the canal begins bust
ness.

The news from Port Arthur is vague
but significant. From the Toxic dis
patch, printed elsewhere, it is to be in
ferred that the besieging army, which
Oyama has probably gone to direct, in
tends to assault the works with an i'm
mense force. Oyama captured Port
Arthur in that way ten years ago when
the place was defended by the Chinese;
and the impression is held by local Jap
anese that he will repeat his old tactics.
A siege is a costly thing and there is
great need of destroying the Port Ar
thur fleet at once so as to relieve Togo
for operations against Vladivostok.

STRAUCh'S HACKERS.

On Saturday a cablegram was Sent
to one of the large financial agencies
at San Francisco enduiring into the
responsibility of the concern which |:
alleged to be backing the Straucf
Home Purchasing Society. The reply
came this morning in cipher as fol-
lows in translation:
WE CONSIDER THE PARTY
NAMED WEAK AND WOULD AD-
WISE CAUTION.
The concern states in its circulars
that it has 100000 capital, but does
not advertise any PAID UP CAPITAL.
Nor does it. so far as can be ascer-
tanned, guarantee the Strauch con-
tracts
An inquiry made to Mr.. Strauch
publicly and privately, as to such
guarantee, cannot be satisfied as
sTRAUCH REFUSES TO ANSWER
He merely says that his books are
open-to subscribers But this Is not
a question of bookkeeping but OF
ability to PAY BACK any part of
what the subscribers PAY IN. on
this point Mr.. Strauch is silent.
Meanwhile he rates his personal
wealth at 49, which he claims is ex-
empt from execution.
Think of going into large financial
enterprise with such assets and with
hackers who, if they can back at all,
are not known to be doing 1t.
Think again of the poor natives and
Portuguese who are putting up their
hard-earned money on such security in
expectation of getting some of it back
in the form of loan for which they
will have to provide SOLID SECUR-
ITY AT \ HIGH RATE OF INTER-
EST.

TOBACCO.

1t has been shown in the Hamakua
experiment that care and skill VIII
produce good tobacco in these Islands.
That is a contention, by the way, which
the Advertiser has long made. 1t has
been disputed only by those who raise
tobacco as they do forage grass and
mourn to find it rank.
One of the drawbacks to small farm
ing in this country is the idea that one
may tickle the soil with a hoe and
have 1t laugh a harvest When the
soil does not laugh then the man with
n hoe begins to NOPE and say things
about the bad outlook for agriculture

sired is some knowledge of soils anc
plenty of care and skill" The build

phasi2es that. There We're enough o1
carping critics of sugar here in the
