Now that the trim little gunboat,
Petrol is attached to the Honolulu Ma
val Station, the following item from
Town Talk printed long time ago,
is of interest:
The little gunboat Petrol, the first
gunboat of the new Navy, has been
placed in commission again at the Mare
Island Navy Yard. under the command
of Lieutenant-Comman Benjamin
Tarpan, and both ship and commander
are to return to the scene of their for
mer prowess on the Asiatic station.
Both took part in the battle of Manila
bay, and after that historic fight Tap
pan was given the command of one of
the small vessels captured from the
Spanish think it was the Manila. In
this small vessel Tappan, during the
subsequent operations, including the
advance upon the city of Manila, was
conspicuous for the closeness with
which he approa ched the enemy's bat
teries. He always made it a practice
to get his guns as close to the enemy
as he could, wholly regardless of the
fact that such tactics also brought him
closer to the hostile weapons Tappan
was Admiral Casey's flag lieutenant on
the Wisconsin at Panama this time last
year, and he had not a little to do in
the delicate intermediary negotiations
that brought to a close the last CoIorn-
bian revolution.

Only about two more months in
which to see the Worlds Fair.
More than twelve millions of peo-
pie have now seen the World 5

for the celebration Of New Jersey
Day at the Worlds Fair October s.
A portrait of Marvuis de Lafay-

South Should Raise silk
Worlds Fair Exhibitor Suggest:
Growing of Cocoons as in
Japan.

St. Louis, Oct. TO- Louis b.
Magid president Of the Silk Cul-
ture League Of TulIalah Falls, Ca,
and an exhibitor Of silk in the
Georgia section at the World
Fair, says this years cocoon crop
in japan will reach Ioo, 600, 900
pounds, the producers Of which
will receive about $3s, 500, 5000,
which indicates that the Russia
Japan war has in no way affected
the silk crop Of the latter country
The Japanese government, accord
ing to Mr. Magid, has given more
attention this year to its silk crop
than at any other time, realizing
the importance of that industry
and what it means as a source OF
revenue at this particular time.
In the opinion Of Mr.. Magid, il
the government would give one
tenth attention which the japanese
government gives to silk, the south
ern states would soon make a crop
Of cocoons equal in pecuniary re-
turns to the cotton crop, and, while
TO make a successful cotton crop
it requires eIeeeu months, on the
other hand a successful crop of
silk is mace in six weeks.

Russian Dates

Charles w. Barnaby, M. + says
of Russian dates: They are not
always twelve days behind ours.
That was true during the century
just past, but in the preceding cen
tury they were only twelve days
behind, and since the beginning Of
this great twentieth century the
Russians are thirteen days behind
the procession. July 2S in your
example in ST. Petersburg is coin
cident with August 10 in civilized
COUNTRIES, not August 9 If'Russia
were only thirteen days Of the rear
of the march of civilization she
would indeed be fortunate, but in
real modern civilization she is as
far behind as in the adoption Of the

pean nations-with little prospect
of catching up within the present
century. New York Press.

Stubborn 10
Will Not Take His Allotment
Force Used.

Muskogee, Oct. Io-The Dawes
commission has found that there
are in the Choctaw and Chickasaw
nations, 2 900 recalcitrant Indians
who will not take their allotments,
and these fare causing no end Of
trouble. This disposition on the
part of the full blood Indians not
to take allotments has prolonged
the work of the segregation of
lands more than all other causes
put together.
1t is no small task to force these
Indians to take alIotments or allot
them arbitrarily. The only way
it can be done is to send field par
ties into the districts where the
Indians live, locate their homes and
improvements and get some idea Of
what land they should have. This
is being done in both nations men
toned. There is a field party Of
twelve men in the Chickasaw nat
ions and one of three in the Choc-
taw nation. They will be kept
there until the closing of affairs of
the two nations, All as that time
draws near il is likely other parties
will have to be put into the field to
complete the work. The work of
field party is difficult and requires
unlimited energy, patience and a
knowledge of Indian character
istics. When a field party find a
family of these full bIoods way out
in the mountains they locate their
home on the maps, and the inn
provemrnts they seem to own.
This is largely a matter OF guess
work. The Indians cannot speak
English and an interpreter has to
be used all the time. They refuse
to give their names, tell how many
children there are in the family or
whether improvements in sight be-
long TO them Or 70 others. In some
instances there will be a group of
families and in such cases the work
becomes more difficult The field
party does the best 1t can under the
circumstances and tries togive each
Indian enough land at that place
to include all his improvements.
Sometimes this is not more than
ten acres. These reports are sent
in to the land Office. Then the
commission proceeds to allot
enough more land TO fill out the
required acreage. This is done en-
tirely without the Indians 5 consent
and he seldom knows where the
rest Of his land will be and cares
less. This land must be improved.
So the commission has sent out
surveyors TO locate land that is not
improved by some one else aud IS
not allotted, before it can arbitrari-
" allot to the Indian the balance
OF his land. All this takes tire
and money aud competent men.

CONCERNING THE.
PUBLIC HEALTH

1t is pretty apparent to every obserV'
ing citizen that the public health just
now is not so good as it should be.
What makes this fact the least bit dis
quieting is that the prevailing malady
is fever. 1t is true the cases are not
all diagnosed as typhoid fever, but
typhoid is on the list, and whether
typhoid or not many of the cases are
of a serious type. In the situation
there may be nothing abnormal, but
In at least one physicians practice the
state of affairs is dangerously near the
limit.
1t is not the intention to create a
scare, but rather to call attention TO a
| few common sense measures, wise at
| all times but doubly so at the close OF
summer, which is the season that ty-
phoid is apt to make it's appearance.
The only remedy and the only pre-
caution lies in cleanliness and in ex'
eroising care as to the source OF drink

outbreak of typhoid at Butler there
seems to be solioitude generally fell

tion recommended Is to boil all watel

people in DanVille. The river Is still

Will Ask Pennsy to Contribute

An effort is being made on the par
of the Berwick Citizens committee tC
have the Pennsylvania Railroad con-
tribute the "a. 600 necessary, in addi-
tion to the $6, 900 which the ID. l.. d
W. Railroad has agreed to contribute.
to make the necessary subscription OF
$40, 600 which Attorney General Car
son says must be subscribed before he
will recommend the construction of
the Berwick NesoOpeck bridge upon
the site as proposed by the viewers
with the bridge built over the tracks
OF the ID. l.. q w. company.
.. Several of the railroads counsel
have expressed the opinion that the
railroad should do something. but
whether they will or not remains to
be seen. There is no doubt but that
the amount OF the subscriptions asked
would soon be made up in passenger
traffic alone, as the passenger traffic
receipts at the Nescopeck station are
very large and would be even larger
with proper facilities. and then. too,
the delay i'll the construction of the
bridge and the consequent falling off
in travel during the winter months
will cause loss Of more money than
the committee asks.
