So Secretary Taft complacently an
nounces-evidently with the eXpecta-
ton that somebody will believe him
that the presents which Miss Alice
Roosevelt received from various foreign
potentates are mere junk This is the
first time that l have ever heard that
the Emperor of Japan, that the EN-
press of China and more of the poten-
tates of the Far East were a skinny
lot To be perfectly frank 1 do not
believe him. Perhaps the Secretary
desired to appear gallant and meant
when he called the presents mere junk
that they were mere junk when COM
pared to the sweet graciousness of his
fair charge. If that is the correct
explanation let it go and hurrah for
Taft, but if he thinks that anybody
will take his remarks in a literal sense,
he would be wise to hedge 1t is strange
how tn dips, spurs, ramifcations and
deviations of world affairs touch us in
Honolulu. We are in fact, a most
wonderful people. Even the incident
of the gifts to Miss Roosevelt has a
local end. Suppose that it should be
discovered that her presents We're mere
junk, as a natural consequence the
presents that were received by our
local prides from Prince Fushimi must
be mere junk too. That elegant bolt
of silk that Lieutenant Tommy Cum
minis received is mere cotton, that sill
yer vase received by Captain Sam
Johnson is nothing but pewter; while
the Satsuma vase sent to Secretary
Jack is crockery of the poorest kind.
For the sake of Dear Hawaii and those
presents I hope that Secretary Taft
was speaking POLITICALLY.

"The Hawaiian language is "a sort Of
an unknown quantity among most peo-
pie round this dreary world" remarked
an old friend the other day "but now
and again in all sorts of chimes, it is
heard most unexpectedly,
"I'll never forget one day that was
going east on the Union Pacific when
there were two chaps talking Hawaiian
on the car. 1 understood what they
were saying and, consequently I was
more than amused when heard a man
across the aisle say to his friend:
"You's understand Russian, old man,
don't you? I'd like to know what those
men are talking about
The friend moved up a seat or so,
waited for a time and then came back.
Yes, he said they are talking Rus
sian all right, but it's the d-est Rus
sian I ever heard in my life"

While the quarantine on outgoing
boats may be all right In ITS way, there
are some details about it that I can
not quite appreciate. Why a person
living in Honolulu and who has BUSH
ness aboard a boat cannot De permit
ted aboard and at the same time every
cabin passenger aboard the vessel is
permitted to go ashore, do not under
stand. 1t is claimed that people living
ashore are more apt to come into con-
tact with contagion than are those
who come off the boats. Nothing could
be- further from the fact. People who
live ashore shun the sections where
contagion is likely to exist; whereas
tourists who come ashore wander
about Unfortunately and are as apt
to get into a contagion breeding Sec
ton as any where else in the city.
think that in this respect the quaran-
tine as now enforced, is inconsistent.

Editor Tesla made a long and brave
struggle to keep the paper up. But
he was fighting against odds that

keep up interest in it and these were
but a series of more or less clever
knocks" It's dingy little office, with
a press turned by a hand crank, is like

A New Auditor

John H. Page, of Coconino coun- ty, will be appointed auditor of Arizona to succeed Wesley Hill or or about January 1 next. Mir. Page is a representative republican of Northern Arizona, and the only ob- jection we can see to his appoint ment is his close connections with corporations. MT. Page has al- ways stood pat for all cor porate interests while mem- Der of the Arizona legislature, and we dislike to see a corporation man chairman of the territorial board of equalization, particularly at this critical period in Arizona's history, when she is making the fight of her life to compel all corporations to pay their just proportion of taxes Enterprise.

NOTES FROM CAMP THREE

We learn that B. M. Watson is still in the hospital
 John Hubert was a business vis- itor to the city last Saturday. Wm. Donaldson was business visitor in the city last Monday.
 Several of the Spring valley cow men left this week to attend the Frisco Mountain" roundup.
 Harry Schlee, George Stewart and Frank Ortner were visitors to the city from Camp No. this week.
 Jim White, suffering from a se- were cold, was compelled to visit Dr. Melick last Friday. He re turned Monday in better health.
 Foreman Lindstrom succeeded in capturing a pair of grey squirrels this week. They are to be pre- sented to the Jones "zoo" as soon as able to travel. As the tree, in which they nested, had to be felled, the shock was terrific, killing two out of four. of the beauties.
 There should be good hunting around Spring valley when the deer season opens. Those of the antler variety are seen every day while the men are at work. They seem to be very tame this year, and some of the short-sighted nimrods can surely get the lawful number.
 On last Sunday a party of for estry experts, escorted by Fred s. Breen and piloted by our own Patty" visited the camp. They have been making Camp No. 2 their headquarters for the past ten days. The gentlemen are direct from Washington. D. C., and are here on general official business connected with the reserve.
 Not sound could be heard save the tramp of feet on the cruel ties of the railroad which rounded into the tread of our Irish comedian coming back home. Charley drove in on us last Monday. He said. Prescott was very quiet and he pre- ferred to climb back into the tree tops. As the camp was full handed he was compelled to go on his Flag staff way. What is our loss is their gain.

Town Ordinances That Are Daily Violated

To the Editor:
 It is a deplorable fact that, not withstanding Williams is an incor porated town, having a town mar shal, who receives a monthly salary of $6O, besides other perquisites, for attending to the enforcement of the town ordinances; a town health officer, to look after it's cleanliness; and town attorney, to prosecute all cases brought, that many of the ordinances for the morality and cleanliness of the town are not en- forced; notably:
 The ordinance prohibiting the discharge of firearms within the corporate limits, when they can be heard daily.
 The ordinance prohibiting the deposit of filth upon the streets, alleys and vacant lots; when it is done openly all over town.
 The ordinance prohibiting riding or driving at a greater speed thar six miles per honr; The ordinance requiring a license tax to be paid on all dogs; whilst the town is overrun paid.
 The ordinance prohibiting prostitutes from residing south of Bill Williams avenue or west of Taber street; when we see them scattered all over town, living door to door with the wives and families of our best people.
 The ordinance prohibiting prostitutes and 1 frequenters of, and employees in saloons, to be 1 or go upon the streets, between o'clock in the morning and o'clock in the evening, in any | loose or sloppy dress, or in any dress different | from that worn by respectable females; whilst we daily see these women upon our streets. and even in our stores, advertising their business by their dress. and unfit to be seen by the young women of our town.
 The foregoing constitute few of the ordinances which should be, but which are not enforced. We see the violations above mentioned ev- cry day; and now. after the 26th day of August, 1905, another ordi- nance takes effect and will be in force, providing a penalty upon all persons allowing horses, cattle mules, asses, hogs or sheep to be o1 run at large upon any street, alley or unenclosed premises within the corporate limits of the town, and ii is to be hoped that the marshal whose duty it is, will enforce this ordinance, so that the sidewalks gates, fences and properties of other people be not hereafter destroyed as it has been in the past.
 The corporate limits embrace ovel one square mile, including the oper ground out south and east of the school house, for about one hal mile, and the open ground north O the railroad for nearly the same distance. It will be we'll for al residents to observe this, so they may know. No one person hal more right than another, and it il to be hoped all will observe it. If our ordinances cannot be en forced little better, what use hav' we for common council, or incor poration at all? It is to be hoped the complaints so ofttimes heard il the past of these violations vii cease and the council see to it tha these laws are enforced.
