one desires. Bathrooms, spacious
dining rooms, a library, smoking
rooms-all make the traveller feel
that he is at home. I can readily un.
derstand that any person taking one
of these trips would feel comfortable
aboard a ship like this, but with a
party. the members of which were
thoroughly acquainted with each 9TH
er, 1t makes 1t most pleasant. I had
heard a great deal about the smooth
ness of the Pacific Ocean, but find
that 1t can be rough as well as other
seas. However. | am bouyed up by
the statement made I o me by the
captain of the ship that the smooth
part comes after we leave our present
harbor. Quite a number of our party
were Ill the first day out, but l have
become quite a sailor in my time and
gained my sea legs" at once
Delightful Sail.
The sail from San Francisco to This
point was a delightful one, as well as
restful. With the exception of an
hours talk In the cabin each day on
general subjects we had nothing to do
but to enjoy the ocean breezes and
rest. The night before we arrived in
this harbor we had some little excite
ment from the fact that a passenger
on his way to Manila jumped over
board or fell over, 1t is not known
which. He was last seen about ten
o'clock and has since disappeared
from sight.
The stop here at Honolulu is a
most delightful break in the voyage
across the Pacific. AS we steamed in
to the small land.rocked harbor the
scene was a most pleasant one.
Dense shrubbery concealed much Of
the city from sight and the harbor it.
self looked smaller than 1t really is.
The coast, as we saw it from the
deck of the vessel steaming in, is a
very beautiful n and very restful to
our eyes. The islands are of volcanic
origin and, including the Coral islets,
numbering twenty. There are three
principal ports of entry, but we sailed
into the Honolulu harbor. 1t was a
little odd. to hear the English lang
uage spoken on all sides in such a
tropical country, but it was very
pleasant, l assure you.
This letter is being written just as
we are leaving the islands after a
stay of a little over t%wenty-four hours.
AS l said above, more was crowded
into this time than I have ever seen
before in the same short space. We
were most Hospitality received and
feted. I took time, however, to look
around a little and to make inquiries
about the islands.
A Modern City.
This city itself is quite modern for
one built away out in the Pacific. 1t
has a population of a little more than
10000. We found electric lights, cleo.
trio cable cars, telephones and a new
cable recently laid to San Francisco.
There are many beautiful and impos.
ing private and public buildings. The
executive building is mi Of the most
noticeable. 1t is situated in a ten acre
park set with handsome trees, shrub.
berry and Towering plants. 1t cost
over 100000 and certainly is n of
the most beautiful places l ever saw.
The hotel accommodations were fine,
and all told we had a most enjoyable
little visit in u Pacific possessions.

DEMoc MIsLEAD.

The Fairmont Times has often
boosted about its truthfuiness. But
there are times when 1t seems to for
get the boast. A notable instance
is its attempt to make political capt.
tai out Of the assessment OF rail.
roads. and the land assessment OF Nc
Dowell county. The Times ought to
know that the actual value law goes
into effect e year and not this.
That paper ought to tell its readers
that the assessment of the railroads
this year is under the old law and
that the assessment of lands made In
Mcdowell and all other counties this
year does not form the basis OF taxa
tion on lands until next year.
Marion county's real estate owners
pay taxes under the old laws this
year. So do those Of Harrison coun-
ty. Also do those of every other
county. The same is true as to per-
sonal property, except that there
has been a lot Of property that
heretofore escaped and some other
assessed so r%idiculously low that a
slight increase was but fair to put
all or a proper and fair basis even
under the old laws. The Times
ought to know that the taxation on
land in Mcdowell county will be on
three millions this year instead of
thirty-four millions. The fact is
Mcdowell will have about the same
tax to pay this year she did last
year. The railroads have some more,
and next ear the railroads, by law,
will be assessed at actual value Just
as Mcdowell county will be. The
only difference is that the railroads
were. valued this year for taxes under
the old laws and the assessment of
Mcdowell the Times undertakes to
compare with railroads is not for this
year but for next year, when there
will be an assessment of the railroads
at actual value.
Under the actual conditions 1t is
readily seen that the Times is not
ldLlllldT VIII WudL II Is tdlkllB
about, else 1t is Intentionally trying
to confuse or deceive its readers. It
would be well for all Democratic
papers to bear in mind that the ac-
tual value law does not go into eff
feet until next year on anything.
Those papers might also give the
personal property assessors of this
year, as well as the board of public
works, credit for listing a good deal
of property this year that ought to
have been on the books for years.
They will likely learn to their sorrow
within the next year or SO that the
new tax laws can not be made a politi-
cal. question for the benefit of their
party. II they are attempted longer
to be made such, they will prove
themselves, and they will do it any
way, to be the Republican party's one
strong card among several drawing
cards.-Clarksburg Telegram.

Early Political Gossip.

G. E. Arney, private secretary to
Hon. Fred T. Dubois. was in the city
last week. In going over the political
situation with prominent Democrat
of this city, Mr. Arney said that $780,
600 had been subscribed to have at least
one Democratic paper in every county
in Idaho, that daily and weekly paper
would be installed in Boise, the first edi-
tion.of the weekly to have 5000 paid sub
scribers. The Democratic ticket will be
headed by Senator Dubois for govern
or, on the anti-Mormon platform. It
is sure thing that Senator Smoot will
lose his seat in Washington and that
the prospects for Democratic victory
were very fiattering. Bellevue Herald.

When East Meets West,

The east needs an Introduction to the
middle west. Both the east and middle
west need an introduction to the far
made, formally and informally YOU
may take yonr choice1rthis year, and
the Lewis & Clark Exposition at Port
land, Oregon, will be the introducer.
This Exposition which will open June
/, will be useful in many ways, but in
no way will it be more useful to Ameri-
cans than in making the far divided
sections of this great country acquaint-
ed with each other. What does the
man who liyes in Augusta on the Ken
nebec, for instance, know about the
man whose home is at Salem on the
Willamette? And the Walla Walla
Washlngtonian-w is his conception
OF the Washingtonian whose residence
is in the District of Columbia? Between
San Francisco and New York stretch
5000 miles of territory, and the middle
west does not know the ends nor do the
ends have proper acquaintance with
each other
| The Exposition at Portland will bring
together both ends and the middle west
and make them mutually acquainted.
The east ought to know more about the
west than the west knows about the
the east, for fasteners travel in the
west more than westerners travel in
/ the east; but somehow those touring
knowledge of the west when they return
home. Or perhaps the staying eastern
ers refuse to believe what their travel
wise neighbors tell them of the west.
because some of those tales are tallish,
SO to speak, and appear unbelievable to
the eye of the conservative easterner.
On the othe hand the east has gain
ed mighty miscouceprion of the west
by placing credence in talos entirely too
tall for the proper stature of truth and
veracity. The wild and wolly" west
is the only vest which much of the east
wots of. The TANNED and tranquil
west they refuse to believe in, and they
entertain ALSO in some quarters, a
notion that the west is incapable Of
complete civilization.
The Exposition at Portland will do
much toward giving the east a proper
attitude Of appreciation toward the
west. The thousands of fasteners who
will take advantage of the reduced rail
road rates and attend the Exposition
see the western country and it's people
study conditions and take note OF
achievements, will return home with
minds cleared of very much haziness
that has beclouded them by reason oil
the acceptance of fictional characters
as gospel facts. They will find all along
the line civilization far advanced
splendid cities with skyscrapers, church
spires, public libraries, universities O.
learning, and all else which goes tt
make up progressive country.
The east and west will become &C
quainted at Portland. This will clear
up many misconceptions ON each sid
and will serve the stronger to cement
the several sections of our land.-Ex.
