Mir. Kemp Makes Denial

Randall II. Kemp informs the Gate way that it was in error in announcing last week his intention of going to Nelson. B. C., and afterwards return ing 10 the Susitna valley to reside per- manently. The Gateway's informant claimed that Mir. Kemp had told him he was going to Nelson to dispose of mining property near that place, and that he would then locate in the Susitna valley. Whether the infor- mant was trying to play Q practical joke on Mir. Kemp, or Mr. Kemp was only iollying the informant is a mat ter between them The Gateway, how over, makes the correction on Mr. Kemps authority Mr, Kemp says that his plans, since severing connection with the Gateway, have not been fully matured.

 The Portland brought about 300 tons of freight for Seward. Mains for the city water system and the machinery for the power plant of Butler Brothers were included ia the cargo.

EXPECTS BOOM
 ON THE SUSITNA
0. G. HerHing Says it Has Great Opportunities for Miners and
 Stock Men.

Central Alaska only waits the coming of railroad to offer the immigrant a variety of resources not eXcelled any where. in the opinionof 0. G. Herning, who has lived north ofCook inlet since 1898 and k familiar with the entire region for many miles. Mir. Hcrn'ng k superintendent of the Klondikc X Boston Mining X Manufacturing Com pany. which has for twoycarS proitably worked large hydraulic plant on it's Willow creek placerS.
 Not mining alone, but Stock-raising on a large scale and agriculture will will create wealth in the SuSitnu val ley and it's tributaries, says Mr. Hern- ing. As sample of what can be done he brought down a sack of potatoes which he raised at Knik. They are equal in size and quality 10 anything ever raised in the Yakima OF Wen atchec valleys of Washington. or agricultural possibilities in Central Alaska, Nlr. Hcrning said:
 "Thcre i, no question bat tho Su- sina valley will be a great stock country. The finest kind of wild grass grows there, as high sometime, as 30 man, head. Wheat, oat, and rye grow and develop luXuiantly and head perfectly. The season is long enough for the grain 10 ripcn and the sun shines all summer. The only possible drawback i, the fact that late summer rain, are liable to come just at harvest time and partially destroy the uaured crop.
 Grain has ample time to grow and mature. have raised rye, wheat and oats. but | always cut them for hay before they are ripe. At Tyonok they have raised and harvested small grains of aIl kinds. l think fall wheat and rye will ripen in time for harvest as often a, in any country without los, by rain. In the states. We all know crops, are often ruined at harvest time by heavy rains. Cat, are sowed about May |, and aS they do not rtpen until about the end of summer they are in a good deal of danger nom rain,'
 The Willow creek mining property which Mr. Hernng', company is opera ting k only thiru-fye miles by trail from Knik station, where he has a store and outitting post. By way of the Susina river it k more than l0D miles. Nlr. Hcning located the ground in 1898 and has been working il ever since. His associates are Boston capi- tali,ts. Two years ago the company installed am expensive hydraulic plant, part of which iS the Rublc Grizzly Elevator for disposing of large rocks by water force. Six men are steadily employed and part of the time a larger number The output of gold has been entirely satisfactory from the begin ming.
 Mr. Hcrning expects a rush to the placer, of the Susitna's tributaries next year. Hundreds of men are in the region now. He came to Seward on the Santa Ana and went to Seattle on the Santa Clara to purchase large stock of goods for his store at Knik.

OPPOSED TO HOGS.

Editor of "Bystander" column: 1
wish you would take fall out of some
of these daily paper hogs that infest
our coffee saloons and restaurants. in
one of your Sunday morning issues.
What 1 refer to is this:--Most of our
restaurants and cafes take a copy or
two of the morning and evening papers
for the benefit of their patrons, who,
as I look at the matter. are supposed
to glance through it, thereby gathering
the cream of the news, further read
ing to be had later on, and hand the
paper to their neighbor to do the same
Such is not the case with the hogs"
One of them comes in and gobbles onto
the morning or evening paper, stands
it up against the sugar bowls, so that
he can read it all the time he is feed
ing his face. That paper is gone
woodchuck for the morning. No other
patron will get a look at it. But that
is not all. After the hog has finish
ed his nineteen-doughnuts-
of-coffee-for-a-n breakfast he
pushes back the empty dishes and
starts all over again, and what little
hope anyone else had of seeing that
paper dies right there. Now, this is

the trouble. 1 suppose 1 could get in
and burn them up. but you can burn
them up just as well. if you will, and

please? 1t may not mend their hog
gishness to any extent, but they will
find out what other people think of

and frauds in plenty everybody
knows; but it is seldom or never
that any large business house is
guilty of them, no matter what

can be no permanent success of
any kind based on dishonesty or
deception. There never was, and
never will be. The men who try
that are simply fools and soon

L
the exclusive study Of medicine and
surgery.
"2. Graduates of the Imperial Medical
Colleges. These hold diplomas for not
less than five years study. The medi-
cal colleges that give these diplomas
are Osaka, Chiba, Kansawa and Mani
gawa.
SO. Those physicians who take the ex-
| aminations of the medical colleges
without obtaining diplomas by resi-
dence.
~. Those who obtain license to
practice after taking a selected course
in the medical college-men with spe-
cialities as to various diseases.
'5. Physicians of long standing under
the old laws who have been granted
licenses to practice under the new i'm
perial laws.
"Of these classes" said DR.. Kobay-
ashi, 1--WE ask only that those of the
first two classes be admitted without
examination in English. These men
have spent not less than five years and
most of them ten years in the careful
and exclusive study of medicine and
surgery. We don't ask that the other
classes be admitted without examina-
ton, because they do not hold univer-
sity diplomas.
I'm view of the fact that American
and European physicians with only
four and six years study are admitted
on diploma to practice. we assert that
our diplomas are equally good.
There are at present not over eight
or nine Japanese physicians in Homo
lulu to a great Japanese population. To
demand that all of us take the English
examination is simply to prevent US
from giving the exact extent of our
knowledge. Interpretation is at best
bad means of transferring thought
and in so technical a matter as medi-
cine it fails absolutely.
My idea is that the best way is for
Japanese physicians to present their
diplomas issued by the Imperial Gov
eminent the same as the American or
European presents his diploma. We
ask only for the admission of the two
classes. both experienced and thorough
ly conversant with all the work of both
European and American schools.

Kohala, August II, 1905.
Father James C. Beissel:
Dear Sir: In order not to wrong an
other innocent man, 1 want to correct
an error in my letter relating to the
Hyde-Damien affair, that was published
in the Hawaiian Gazette of June 20. In
stead of Father Damien's predeces-
sor," read Father Damien's successor"
and that, I believe, will make all cor
rect. Please consider yourself at lib
erty to use this correction at your own
discretion. Yours truly,
E. C. BOND.
p. S.-Provided, of course, that you
do not know that I am still in error on
any point I believe my version with
the above correction is all correct.
E. C. B.
AS an aside, it may interest you to
know that 1 myself labored for time
under the impression that Father Da-
mien was the man who raised a scandal
by immoralities in this district. 1 left
the islands for time Immediately after
the occurrence and in course of time
forgot the details and got the identi-
ties mixed when Father Damien's mis-
fortune became known. Perhaps the
guilty mans name was Fabien, but

Mr.. E. c. Bond:
Dear Sir: Your kind favor of the 18th
inst. at hand. 1 thank you for the deli
cacy of conscience you show in it.
The error you wish to correct has
been noticed by me as such at once, but
as no name was mentioned and nobody
has taken offense at it, so let it pass.
statement, the public can appreciate
them. For the public it matters little
to know whether it was Father Da-
mien's successor or predecessor who
was guilty of scandal. But isn't there
any difference between an alleged
scandal and a proven scandal? The
Waimea courts had the case nolle-
pressed. Now, If in your private opin-
ion you believe the man to be guilty.
it is your own affair, but If you state
it in public, you expose yourself to
prosecution for libel. Nothing short of
a sentence of a court brands crime
en- a persons character.
In consequence the man on whor
you wish Father Damien's false accu-
sations should stick, has right to en-
joy the benefit of the doubt.
Now. was it the love of God or
something else which built up an accu-
sation on such shaky foundation?
What motive was there, anyhow, what
may ask, either on Faith
er Damien's or on the Catholic Mis-
sion's part, to start such story? If
an OlQ WOIldH gives way W q SSi tohi
itch of evil talk, sensible people don't
mind it much. But consider all the
Who did the accusing?
whom did he accuse? of what and for
what reason or motive did he start the
and tell me whether the
plea of mistaken identity sis an ex-
cuse in this case?''
You labored yourself. you say. for
time, under the impression that Father
Damien was the man entangled in the
alleged Kohala scandal, and you have
also correspondent on this subject with
DIR. Hyde. suppose this correspond
ence took place during the time that
you were yet under the said erroneous
and by the said CORE
spondence you confirmed your friend in
his false impressions. The reason why
