LINK" M'CANDLESS
Is INTERVIEWED

The Tacoma Ledger of December %,
says: L. L. McCandless, a brother of
Frank McCandless, of this city, ar
rived in the city last night and regis
tered at the Tacoma from Honolulu.
Mr.. McCandless comes to Tacoma to
visit his father, who is a patient at
one of the city hospitals, confined to
his bed with broken leg as the result
of a runaway accident at Ellensburg
some time ago. He will spend Christ
mas with his father, after which lie
will visit friends at EIlensburg, re-
turning to Honolulu in, about three
weeks via San Francisco.
3Trade on the islands is somewhat
depressed at the present time said
Mr.. McCandless last night. THE low
price of sugar is responsible for the
ouietude [ myself am interested in
sugar plantations and ranching, to a
certain extent, and understand the sit
uation WELL
Asked if Cuban reciprocity would
have much influence on the sugar
trade in Hawaii, Mr.. McCandless said
that in all probability Hawaii will feel
the effects from the moment the new
law becomes effective. Reciprocity
will encourage the Cubans to produce
sugar in greater quantities than ever
and unless the consumption keeps pace
with the production the market Will
undergo a change. Over-productIon IN
Hawaii at the present time would
prove disastrous Aside from the pusi-
ness depression I have nothing to say
against Honolulu. The climate Is
splendid, and it is a nice place in which
to live Business depression cannot
continue forever, you know.

ANOTHER COMPLIMENT.
The Living Church of Nov. contains
several references to the good work OF
Bishop Restarick In an address by the
Bishop of Rhode Island before an Epis-
copal council he said: What more in
spring than Bishop Restarick in Epiph-
any pulpit last night, telling what
he had Accomplished" In another part
of the paper this paragraph appears:
1T is not new, perhaps, to tell what
Bishop Restarick said about Hawaii
and his work there among the da-
waiians, the Chinese, and the japanese,
but it is new to state that his address
was one of the best before the whole
council. 1t had the ring of achieve
ment, sincerity, and enterprise. The
great congregation sat enwrapped iii
the story of his deeds, and the honesty
of the man, as he related it. Hawaii is
a part of the United States. Descend
ants of missionaries sent out by the
American board are not decayed stock,
but the backbone of the islands. Some
of them are communicates of the
church.

DANGER Our tents were p1tcned, OH q
sand bar, and preparations were made
TO yfsitss tie aan1fngo colonies known
TO existsinsthst vicinity. ~
Subsequent research showed that
the colony was regularly frequented
by these birds as a breeding resort
but that apparently a different spot
was chosen each year. Eight groups
or villages Of nests were found within
a radius Of 8 mile, each having evi-
IDENTIFY been occupied only one year.
The largest Of these, placed on a
mud bar only an inch or two above the
level of the surrounding water, was a
hundred yards in length, and averaged
about thirty yards in width. An est-
mate, based Oh an actual count Of a
portion of this colony, gave, total Of
1000 nests for an area OF approximately
only $1,000 square feet. This rookery
we judge to have been occupied the
previous year. At distance Of mile
we found nests scattered about in a
dense growth Of mangroves. Here the
birds were found at work upon their
nests for the present year.
A flock was seen which was esti-
mated to contain about 700 birds-a
sight of surprising beauty. Although
no shot was fred and a retreat was
promptly made, the birds were dis
turbed by our intrusion, and either
discontinued operations or removed to
some other locality, an6 eventually
we were forced to leave without see
ing fresh nests. Those in process Of
building, however, told somewhat the
manner of their construction. Those
built among the mangfove, were in
an excellent state Of preservation, a
few even containing eggs. The task
of getting these nests into the hold Of
the schooner was one Of great diff

eighteen inches in diameter at the

The Thanksgiving festival became
a formal and an annual one in Masea-
chusetts as long ago as 1854, and ne
example of that colony was soon foa-
lowed by all the New England colG.l-
les. The Puritans It that time regsrtl-
ed Christmas as a relic Of popery, and
SO they passed laws punishing its OBJ
seryance and accepted Thanksgiving
day as the great feast day Of the year.
In pioneer Thanksgiving times, In
Rhode Island and Connecticut, the tur-
key occupied less prominence on the
feast table than did bear meat and
venison. When the Governor and Her
Majesty's commissioners sat down 20
the festal board in 1913 it was an
nounced that one of the deer that ny
ured in the feast had been shot on ye
Lords Day. The pious commissioners
refused to eat until the sacreligious
red man that shot the deer had re-
ceived thirty-nine stripes, which, m
the language Of the day, was pro-
nounced "a just and righteous sem
tence on ye sinful heathen." Decem-
Der is. 1777, Washington proclaimed
as day of Thanksgiving, and again at
Valley Forge, on May Z, 177s. Fol-.
lowing Washington's example, several
Presidents issued general proclama-'
tons on special occasions, but 1t was
usually left to the Governors OF the
States and Territories to determine
whether there should be 4 day and
what that day should be.

Il the swine are turned onto it before,

The best results in pasturing swine on
alfalfa come from the growing animals
and when the alfalfa pasture is used
for growing hogs, it is estimated that
the grain ration may be cut one-half
at least. There is the further advan-
