Another Pioneer Called.

Malcolm Reed, an old and respected
citizen, died at his home on College hill
on the early morning of February IS,
1904. The deceased was born IN Virginia
seventy-four years ago and has resided in
this county twenty-seven years and for
the major part of the time has been en-
gagged in the stock business, was always
fairly successful and had accumulated
considerable property. He leaves wife
and two little girls which comprise the
family. He was man of strong con-
victlons and positive mind and had lit.
tie patience with wrong doors or evil
persons, which his long experience upon
the western frontier tended to make
frmer IN his declining days. Death was
caused by heart trouble and though Mr..
Reed had been gradually failing for
some time, his demise came rather un-
expected. He had seen hard service in
the Civil war and his name was upon the
pension rolls. Few pioneers were better
known throughout this part of the
northwest. He has passed into the ever
lasting silence, the mystery and the
peace of death. There remains nothing
but to say of him that he did his part
faithfully and well, fair and kind to his
deserving fellow man, always making
himself an element seemingly vital to
the welfare of his community more par
ticularly in the earlier days of this coun.
try some twenty five years ago when it
took sturdy, determined men to with.
stand the depredations of the outlaw and
savage who were then in the ascendency
in many portions of the unsettled north
west and with whom the stockman had
to seriously contend. With him it is all
over, his earthly trials are ended. Good
bye, old friend, may you sleep eternity
away in the rest that knows no ending.
The funeral will occur Friday, Feby. 70.
1901, at 2 p. m. under auspices of Ritz

Five Good Reasons.

That the Rio Grande Route is the
most popular one between the Pacific
Coast and the East. is evidenced by the
tact that the greater per cent of trans
continental travellers use it.
First, the scenic attractions in view
from trains are unequaled in the world.
Second. the daily personally conducted
tourist car excursions being especial,
adapted for ladies travelling alone OF
with children. affords comfortable mode
OF travel at rates within reach of all
Third it is the only route between the
East and West passing directly through
Salt Lake City or modern Zion.
Fourth. the choice of two distinc,
routes through the heart of the Rock,
Mountains.
Fifth, three fast through trains dali,
between Ogden and Denver equipped
with every modern convenience.
There are many other reasons VIII,
this route is the most comfortable anc
enjoyable IN the whole country.
You can learn great deal on the sub
ject of through travel, and receive some
very beautiful and interesting booklets

What is the Government going to
do about this matter of taxation?
One of two lines Of action Is neces.

per cent. or cut loose from traditional
extravaganza and acknowledge tnat
there is a simpler and more economi'
cal method of administration than we
have had in the past.
Either of these might mean the
need of special session of the Legis

A G[ODET|C SURVEY
MADE
Of HiEf BARbOR

Among the arrivals from Kauai In
the w. g. Hall Sunday were Messis.
King and Milburn of the Geodetic Sur
vey, who have been at work for some
time past surveying and charting the
harbor at Eleele, on the leeward side
OF Kauai, as possible place for a har-
Dor for the entrance OF steamers. 1t
will be remembered that a short time
ago there was talk of the American
Hawaiian Steamship Company running
| its steamers to Kauai and taking sugar
direct from that island. and 1t was
stated at that time that the survey at
Eleele was in direct answer to an APP
peal to the proper bureau in Washing
ton for such work to be done.
MIR. King had the following to say
about the work of himself and Mr.. Mil
burn while en- Kauai:
We had pretty rough time Of 1t on
the Garden Isle on account of the
stormy weather but we finished the
work of surveying Eleele harbor and
have all our data in shape.
AS to Eleele being proper place
for steamers to enter | can only say
that it is probably good port SO far
as island ports go but it would not be
much anywhere else.
Il can't say what we surveyed Eleele
for. AS matter of fact, really do
not know. We had our orders and did
our work in accordance Herewith.
Mr.. Milburn and myself will await
orders at this place. We may be sent
tc some Of the other islands as UNDER
stand there are still other prospective
new harbors that need surveying.
Again, we may go to Manila"

COBB DISCUSSES
FISH INDUSTRY

J. n. Cobb, who is here investigating
conditions on behalf of the Fish Com.
mission, returned from Kauai yester-
day after having made tour of the
island. Seen by Bulletin reporter at
the Royal Hawaiian Hotel this fore.
noon, MIR. Cobb had the following to
say: est % m
Il have now completed tour Of all
the outside islands and will start In
Immediately On my investigation of
conditions on Oahu. My plan is to go
down the road on the railway, stop.
kping at the various villages along the
seashore. expect to return to tn.
mainland in the steamer of the 29th
inst.
ION Hawaii, found the conditions
about the same as they were the last
time was here with the exception
that Japanese fishermen are in much
greater numbers. On Hawaii, at least,
they promise to shut out almost en-
tirely every other class of fishermen.
"On Maui, found about the same
conditions. I feel 1t my duty to re.
port to the authorities here the neces.
sity Of fish inspection on Maui just as
you have here. This applies particu.
larry to Lahaina, where buyers of FISH
are continually imposed on. Some of
the fish sold is abominable.
81 understood that Rev. s. Kapu and
w. kuliona were inspectors at Lahaina
and Waikiki, respectively, and that
during the six months they served,
their work was Of the very highest or.
der. No stale fish was sold while
they were in office. understand fur
Their that the inspectors were cut out
on account of the lack of Government
finances. This is a great pity. People
should be protected against vendors
who will sell stale fish II not under
constant surveillance.
II was much pleased with the state
of affairs on Kauai The catch has
become much larger than when was
last here, this being due to the i'm
proved methods that have recently
been instituted. On that island, al
least, the japanese do not predomf
nate. The fish is sold so quickly after
catch that there is no chance for 1,
.. to spoil. I heard of no complaints
. about stale fish while was on Kauai
"Of course, the greater part of my
work is right here on this island and
have already put in couple of weeks
here, but the Board of Health has Its
system Of fish inspection in such ex
