THE vLADlvosToK SHIPS.

1t may be doubted that the Vladi-
service about Japan is too useful to be
dispensed with. The fast cruisers not
only cut out Japanese merchantmen
and transports, threaten lines of COM
aiding plans, but they constitute a pos
siOIe reinforcement to the Port Arthur
fleet. To run away would be most
Tgnoble and possibly would result in
the detention of the vessels at any
neutral port. The chances are good
that the present cruise is simply a
spirited dash with Port Arthur as a
possible goal, in default of which Vladi-
yostok may again be sought. The lat
ter place cannot be blockaded with any
squadron Japan can spare. Even at
entrance to the harbor and that a mar
row one, the blockade is ineffective. At
yladivostok, where there are two chan
nels. widely apart and an almost per-
petual fog, the work of closing the port
from the outside is extremely hazar-
dous and difficult. Civil War lessons
teach how hard it is to blockade any
defended port, no matter how strong a
fleet can be brought to bear.
Apparently Skrydlof's ships are free
to travel about as long as their coal
lasts, except for such accidents of war
as would come of a chance encounter
with a japanese naval force. This
they are not looking for.

THE QUESTION Or, MILK.

| The Board of Health expert, in test
been complained of. finds that the milk
| is pure enough but that its flavor and
| butter-fat constituents are not all that
could be desired. The consumer, who
| does not know cows, is apt to jump at
conclusions when the good taste of the
milk or the proportion of cream falls
off, that does scant justice to the farm
er behind the milkman. At this dry
time of year he is more than usually
suspicious. He is sure that his milk
has been 'doctored.' Possibly it has
BEEN but the chances are that the fault
he complains of is due to the scant
pasturage and lighter forage crops of
midsummer and to the substitute foods
which are used, in place of dry-weather
sorghum, to give the ration bulk. At
such times brewers malt is often fed
and this as inevitably spoils the taste
of the milk as does the use of turnfp
tops. But when it is a choice between
1870 ~ AOCNA
the farmer feeds malt and the con-
sumner of milk must grin and bear the
infliction until rain comes to bring back
forage crops to their normal succu-
lence.
Everybody who has lived in the East
remembers the high quality of June
butter, milk and cream. This quality
does not come of buying better cows in
June or from imparting a. new and
liveIier conscience to dairymen in that
particular month. The reason is that
the forage is richer in June tn " at any
other time of year. The timothy and
the milk from the same COWS sometimes
falls off twenty per cent in it's butter
making qualities and when the cows
get on a winter ration of hay their milk
is neither rich nor plentiful. Here on
Oahu our June" product comes in jan
uary, February and March, milk for
the rest of the year being of varying
degree of fitness according to the
weather and the grass.
OF course there are milkmen who
deliberately adulterate their product,
but these are of known disreputable
class whom people buy of at their own
risk. There have been cases where a
hired hand has sold milk which he was
supposed to deliver elsewhere and put
in water to make up for the quantity
stolen. But if purchased milk falls off
only in dry weather, the buyer may
feel pretty sure that he is getting the

Bishop Tuttle, of Missouri, presiding
bishop of the Protestant Episcopal
Church, made a bon mot at the recent
Episcopal Diocesan Convention, which
some of those present wanted to see en-
bodied in the formal records of the con-

of the bountiful luncheon provided by the
women of the church, terminating with
strawberries and ice cream and cape

Pueblo next spring, and extend
the term of office OF the present
city officials until the general
election held two years from this
fall.
We desire TO most emphatical-
ly deny such statement. 1t is a
democratic fabrication without
any foundation of fact whatever
We have not been asked to- sup
port such bill, nor have we heard
such proposition mentioned ex-
cept by the democratic speakers
and democratic papers above
mentioned.
We desire to hereby make a
