HOW LABOR IS GOT
FOR THE VARIOUS
ISLAND PLANTATIONS

+. have materially benefited the planta-
| ton.
g Undoubtedly, In many cases, the
Planters Association is providing a
| cheap excursion for some of these peo-
| pie, but it is difficult with the meagre
investigation it is possible to make, to
distinguish the good from the bad.
One Individual whom we sent to a
plantation on Kauai stayed there long
enough to inform the manager that he
intended to travel around the island
and then return to Honolulu to again
seek labor from the Planters Associa-
tion. This man managed, by hard
luck tale, to squeeze out of me an ad-
vance of $500 before leaving here,
which I presume is being spent in his
travels on Kauai.
The Porto Ricans are also of a
more or less negative value. 1t is
quite certain that many of those who
are applying are SIMPLY being forced
out of town by the police and do not
intend to work any longer than they
have to, but it is good thing, at any
rate, to get them away from Honolulu.
'The Planters Association is not a
philanthropic institution, and can not
be expected to continually give trans
portation to men who do not intend to
work. A system will, therefore, be de-
vised whereby record will be kept of
each man who accepts free transporta-
tion to plantation under a promise to
work, and if he fails to make good it
will be known to us and he will have
difficulty in again obtaining ticket.
cit is perhaps interesting to note
from the labor statistics which are
ln hot IInr &o hn
seeking plantation work. In July of
last year there were only 1874 Ha-
waiians in unskilled positions; in July
of this year there were 1414 occupying
unskilled positions and the total of
Hawaiians on the plantations in July
of last year was 1872 as against 1857,
July, 1905.
As a matter of fact all. nationah
ties with the exception of Porto Ri
cans and japanese have increased dur
ing the year ending July l. The
Americans have increased from 500
to 647; Portuguese from $3.50 to 5000.
Porto Ricans and japanese have
decreased, the japanese quite materi-
ally.
$50 far as the skilled labor is con-
cerned, the Association has lately
given employment to large number
of citizen mechanics, and the planta-
tions by their returns show that they
are continually taking on citizens with
out the necessity of applying to this
office.
In the early part of this year for
the purpose of making the plantation
labor statistics uniform list of posi-
tions which could properly be called

of the various plantations. This list

Admirable Indian Lecture BY Professor F. F. W. Layton

There be they in other parts of this
vast nation who fondly imagine that
the people of this territory know more
about the Indian than about almost
any other subject that might be men
toned. It may be doubted. however if
the advantage of propinquity to the
aborigine which the New Mexican is
supposed, in these aforesaid parts, to
possess has ever been enjoyed by the
average Las Vegan. Most any citi-
zen knows an Indian when he sees
one, but that is about all. Of his hab-
itation, his manners. his customs. his
food, his fiestas, his symbolism, his
songs, his religion, your Las Vegan
knows little or nothing.
Accordingly, when invitations were
extended by the Las Vegas Ethno-
logical club to an illustrated Indian
lecture to be delivered by Prof. e. K.
Wentworth Layton, they were prompt.
ly accepted, and last night the Nor
NAL assembly room was filled to the
doors with an expectant audience.
The realization amply justified the
anticipation The pictures shown by

ture, beautifully worded, pleasingly
delivered, was admirable.

ST. PETERSBURG, April 11.---Ac-
the Japanese have had an observation
squadron in the waters off Cabuan,
British Borneo, where they took the
same advantage of the British neutral
ity as Rojestvensky did of French neu-
trality at Madagascar and this squad
ron is believed to have been summon
ed by the Japanese north of the straits
OF Formosa where the battle will oc-
cur. Considering the vital nature of
the issue the admiralty is inclined to
think Admiral Togo will not dare to
send ships to Vladivostok or leave YES
sells behind him to cope with the Rus
sian vessels in that port and that the
Japanese coasts and the transport
fleet will have to shift for themselves
until the naval battle is fought. 1t
is learned the Russian ships have on
board patent appliance consisting OF
steel brushes attached TO sort of
belly band which running under the
vessel can be used quite effectively
to clean the bottom. The speed Of the
warships in this way, it is calculated
can be increased at least knot.
No Ships Visible.
SINGAPORE, April IA telegram
from Batavia, Java, today says there
are no Russian warships at Muntok,
Island of Bonka, near which place it
was reported the Russian squadron
had been sighted.
Togo's Base.
WASHINGTON, April 11.-Minister
Griscom at Toxic has cabled the state
department that he has been advised
of gthe, closing of Kelung. to foreign
ships until further notice. Keeling is
a port on The north end. Of the island
of Formosa 1t is believed here that
the action of Japan indicates that this
port will be used by Admiral Togo as
base for his fleet.
Japan to Have a Million Soldiers
TOXIC, April 11.-Japan is meet
ing the Russian plan of reorganization
and reinforcement of its Manchurian
armies with an extensive expedition
from its own military organization.
Details and figures of what seems 10
be the plan to double the present
army units, are carefully concealed,
but il is freely estimated that by au-
tumn the next. the total military or
ganization will exceed a million men
actually in the field.
