How the VermOnters in Santa Bar
bara spen: Thanksgiving Day.

Santa Barbara. Cal. Nov. 20, 1900.
DEAR Mr.. BISHOP: Something tells
me that You would like to know what
kind of Thanksgiving day John and !
have had in far off California, and will
begin by telling you about the weather.
We have had some chilly weather the
last two weeks, colder think. than any
we had last winter, but not sufficiently
cold to damage the most sensitive flowers.
Last evening it began to rain, the first OF
the rainy season, and this mornings sun
disclosed clean, we'll washed Santa
Barbara, aud to our great surprise white
capped mountains, the rain having
turned to snow up there; but it was
soon gone, aud was our first sight of
snow on this side of the continent ex-
cept that on Mt Shasta, which we saw
on our journey.
We have been planning for a Vermont
Thanksgiving, and had thought to have
a picnic, but decided it would be better,
and far easier, to have the young Ner-
monter who runs the San Marcos cafe
do our catering, so at Il meeting OF Ver-
monters held here some weeks ago he
was asked to get up Il real Thanksgiving,
and he has succeeded admirably. The
dinner hour was o'clock. and We were
pleasantly surprised on entering the par
lor little before that hour, to see what
a large number of Nermonters had gath
cred there. In few minutes the sum
NOUS to dinner came, and we all hocked
to the dining room. 1t was beautifully
decorated with ferns, long branches
drcoped from the chandeliers, and were
arranged on the walls, and the tables
attractiyely decorated with bouquets OF
flowers. Before taking our seats at the
table, Governor Proctor's Thanksgiving
proclamation was read Ivy young Eer-
mont boy, IA student at the Santa Barbara
Business College. We then sang one
stanza of America and took our seats

JARED SMITH
IS SEEKING
STEAMERS
Negotiating for Boats to
Carry Fruit From
Hawaii.
The Hilo Herald says:

An interesting and important letter
has been received by the Hilo Board
OF Trade from Jared G. Smith, Director
of the u S. Department of Agricul-
ture's experiment station for Hawaii.
The communication is dated from
Washington, where Director Smith is
at present. 1t runs thus:
'I am entering into negotiations, un-
officially, and on my own initiation
with the United Fruit Co, the corpora
ton controlling the banana business of
the United States, to see if I can inter-
est them to the extent of putting some
of their fruit steamers into the trade
between the islands and the Coast. This
company owns and operates about 80
lantic and Caribbean region. 1t has
seemed to me that it would be much
better for our growers to work with,
rather than in competition with, these
powerful interests. The matter of pas
senger traffic from the Coast to Hawaii
Will undoubtedly be discussed.
Il would advise you TO notify banana
growers. who, I believe, are quite gen
orally discouraged with the outlook,
that powerful interests in this country,
namely the citrus and deciduous fruit
growers associations throughout the
land are working for a duty on ba-
nanas The idea of these interests is
to shut out the banana, now grown
almost exclusively in foreign countries,
from disastrous competition with main
land-grown fruits, especially the apple
and pear. If these American fruit
growers are successful in their fight, .
then Hawaii and Porto Rico are abso- I
lutely the only American Territories
where the banana can be grown. and
banana growers still engaged in pro-
iuction should profit greatly from such !.
legislation
IT am not in a position to make any
promises, but am hoping that if this
company decides to enter the Hawaiian
banana field there will be cooperation
with them"

.'I want you to help us to secure
department at Washington to have
charge of the affairs of all the out
side possessions said Acting Governor
Atkinson to Vice Governor James F.
duced in the executive Chamber of the
Capitol yesterday afternoon.
81 will do it, answered General
Smith
Thus the pact was made, right at the
start, in the course of an interview
destined to become historic. General
Smith, who with his wife and son was
on the way to San Francisco for
vacation trip which must end early
in August, had lunched with a party
Sof friends at the Moana, and there
kafter an interview had been arranged
! for him with the Acting Governor.
The discussion between the two Gov
ernors was at no time matter OF
generalities, after the first formalitles
of the Introduction. There was too
much in common between them-and
they were both too much men of the
same class to stand aloof.
And. after General Smith had agreed
to the covenant, Acting Governor At
kinson went on to define. his views at
length 1--WE have too much at stake,
he said "to be thrust off into the
hands of a mere clerk when we go TO
Washington ON insular business. The
clerk may be highly paid. He may be,
and perhaps is, a smarter man than
/ am, and worth more money to the
government. But he does not have
the ear of the President. and he is not
advised upon all insular affairs. You
are the chief of the men in the out
side possessions, General, or you Will
be when you take charge of the affairs
of the Philippines. Your word Will go
a long way in Washington. If you
will help us in this, it can be done.
There should be Department OF IN
sular Affairs, with a Secretary at the
head of it,
"That is true" agreed General Smith.
S'I cordially approve of the plan.

SUPERVISORS
ARE PUT On
The GRILL
A Warm Meeting of the
Republican County
Committee.

| A two-ring circus would about de-
| scribe the double meeting held at the
| Republican headquarters last night
The County Committee met in one
room where Large
Adams was on the grill over appoint
ments made by the County Board of
Supervisors. In an adjoining room the
| Territorial Central Committee also held
a session.
| The Territorial Committee discussed
precincts for Honolulu. That change
was to make more precincts, thereby
cutting the larger precincts down, so
that the number of votes in each would
be evened up on smaller basis. The
matter went over to the Executive
Committee for consideration. although
the general sense of the meeting was
that there should be no change from
the present boundaries.
: Chairman John Waterhouse presided
over the talkfest of the County Com
mittee 1t was a largely attended
meeting and most of the members
seemed to have it in for the Super
visors because of some alleged appoint
ments of men TO Office or jobs who
were not on the lists submitted and
recommended by the County Commit
tee.
1t was openly charged that the Su-
pervisors, of course meaning only the
Republican members of the Board of
Supervisors, had appointed outsiders.
1t was also charged that the Super
visors had treated the County Com
mittee with contempt and its recon-
mendations had been spurned.
Naturally, this brought out a large
amount of talk some of it peppery and
fingers were shaken strenuously in the
faces of members.
1t all finally wound up with the pas I
sage of a resolution offered by Charles |
Hustace. Jr.. that the Republican /
members of the Board of Supervisors |
supply the county committee with a |
list of appointments made during their |
