Industries, but it is now IN fair way
to become as popular with summer
tourists as portions of the Maine coast.
Government officials are contributing
very largely to this feature of Alaska.
Since the wonderful gold discoveries
which turned the attention of the whole
world to that northwestern corner of the
continent and the United States became
aware that she had possession valu-
able for other things than seal skins,
the statesmen at Washington have been
paying a good deal of attention to
Alaska. 49,
For several years past it has been the
regular thing for bodies of congressman
to make tours of Alaska. The bound
ary dispute was the first excuse for this
delightful excursion along the most pic
turesque coast in the world. Congress-
men felt it was necessary to inform
themselves at frs: hand of conditions in
that region and to locate with their own
eyes what they believed to be the real
boundary between the British possess
slOns and Alaska. The tales these
statesmen adventurers brought back of
the wonderful scenery of the Alaskan
coast and the unique experiences they
had in that little-known country in
spired others with the desire to make
the trip. This summer quite number
OF the most prominent members of the
house and senate, including Speaker
Cannon, will learn of the Alaska wond-
erS nv q nnrcOnal vicit
The interest that congressman have
taken in that country and the efforts OF
the government in it's development have
attracted great attention, and the con-
sequence is that Alaska seems to be a
very desirable place for American in
vestments. Experiments in agriculture,
in fisheries and other industries have
proven that this big corner of North
America that we purchased for $7,OOO,-
900 in 1867 will prove one of the richest
investments ever made by the govern
ment.

There is an immense satisfaction in
tile draining that old slough which has
for years been such an eyesore and null

Washington has been the victim of the
apartment house craze. More than half
a hundred of these buildings, ranging
from rows of three-story apartments to
the highest limit allowed under the reg
ulations. have been built, and what is
more, every inch Of their space has been
filled The wonder to old Washirgtoni-
ans is where the people come from to fill
these great tenements. There are no
manufacturing plants of any Importance
whatever within the District of Co.
lumbia, and the government service
extends but slowly, and yet the per-
.centage of increase in the population
of Washington keeps pace with that OF
great, growing, manufacturing places.
Washington is not a skyscraper town.
and the authorities have wisely reduced
the height to which buildings can be
erected. Eight stories is about the linn
it, although on the wider streets one
or two more stories can be added with
out violation Of the regulations. One
of the building regulations adopted some
time ago prevents the erection of build
ings to a greater height than the width
of the streets on which they are To-
Gated. Even this regulation is further
restricted in the neighborhood of pub
lie buildings, by requiring edifces to
keep within the height Of the govern.
ment structures.

Here's an inquiry about goats-as to
whether it will pay to keep them on q
northwestern farm. The goat has but
one use for that territory, and that to
clean up brushy land, which it will do
to the kings taste. A friend has q
dock of Angoras, about 200-we saw
them recently-and forty acre brush
pasture which they had just finished
up in two years. The wool crop, or,
rather, hair crop, brings him 80 cents q
pound and averages about three pounds
to the head. Enough twins are pro
duced so that the does will double
their number each year. They are not
nice beasts to have around from our

prefer sheep They are all right in

There are not few troubles con-
nected with farming under an irrigat-
ing system. 1t is no such picnic as it
is often represented to be. There is the
partial or entire failure Of the water
supply and the monopoly of what wa
ter there may be by those who have
the prior right up the stream; then
there are many places where irrigation
develops so much alkah in the soil as
to make it utterly worthless for the
purposes Of cultivation. The truth is
that we get only the rosy side Of this
method of farming.

There is very much in common be-

The best things are not the largest

hollow; same way with the big straw

better than that of the OK, the old hog

FUNERAL OF Tue
LATE c. l, RAMSAY

| The funeral of the late Charles H.
| undertaking parlors of H. H. Williams.
| The services which preceded the burial
! in Nuuanu cemetery were conducted by
| Rev. Mr.. Wadrnan, after which the
Elks took charge. Following is Mr..
| Wadman's address:
We are gathered here today under
| circumstances singufarly sad and dis
| tressing. Death in any case is nlys-
| teriously sad, but when it takes place
| as it has in the case of our mutual
| friend and fellow-citizen whose OBJ
| sequies We are met here to observe, it
| is peculiarly distressing.
| Mr.. Ramsay was much better known
| to most of you than to myself. He had
lived in Honolulu upwards Of twelve
years During that period he had been
we'll known in business and social cir
cles. It was here he married and here
his four sweet children were born. His
early home was in New York State,
| where a very infirnl and aged mother
and several beloved brothers and sis
| tiers still reside. He was beloved son
and very affectionate brother. One
of the most touchingly affectionate let
| ters [ have ever read was one written
| by a sister during a recent illness OF
| his from which it was thought he might
| not recover. To those distant loved
| ones the news of his sudden and sad
| decease will surely come with a crush
| ing blow. Let us all earnestly pray
| that the Everlasting Arms of the
| Eternal God may be beneath them
| with comforting and sustaining power
| l have never lived in a community
| where citizens were more deeply kind
| and sympathetic than in Honolulu, and
| especially under sorrowful circum-
| stances such as these which bring us
| here today. On all sides people are
| reaching out their hands and asking,
| What can we do? How can we help?'
| [ can assure the members of the be-
reaved family assembled with US that
| all our hearts are deeply touched. and
| in prayer to the Loving Father we bow
| and beseech Him as the God of all
grace to vouchsafe His timely grace and
| loving presence.
| You are all we'll aware of the subtle
causes at work for quite a period which
ended in the tragedy of a few hours
ago. Business failures, physical weak
ness, mental dependency, notwith-
standing all that. could be done by a
| devoted wife and loving friends, con-
Spired towards his rapid and rash I'M
doing. Nothing remains in the form of
keen regret or bitter reflection. Loving
hands had constantly ministered to a
heart broken with disappointment and
| a mind crushed with weight of
dependency for which it seemed as
though nature failed to supply a suffi-
Gent courage and strength to overcome.
His rash act was not that of a sane
man. He was not himself-not by any
lmeans the gifted, manly man of other
years whom men admired for his
sterling character and congra tulated
