A Shifting Land rk.

In the first years of navigation on western waters, says the author of "Early Steamboat Navigation on the Missouri River" pilots were forced to use all sorts of signals and marks to decide their courses. One had a GUS tom of running certain crossing if he came to it at night by the aid of a dos The animal belonged to family living in house at the f3ot of the crossing directly In the course of the bend. Whenever a boat was coming this dog ran out to the bank. always in exactly the same place, which was In line with the channel, and parked his loudest. The pilot ran toward the sound of the barking with the utmost confidence. Unhappily the dog one night took notion to change his stand and parked little higher up The next morning the boat was hopeless wreck on sand bar, into which the pilot had run at full speed.

SALOONS FEWER ON
Tue OTHER ISLANDS

''Saloon conditions on the islands of
Maui and Hawaii are much better than
on Oahu is the opinion of John NJ.
Martin, who has been spending the past
few weeks on those islands in the inter
est Of the Anti-Saloon League. A com
appointed, as result of Mr.. Martin S
visit, to look into the advisa bility of
forming a league there, while the ad-
dresses given by Mr.. Martin at the
Evangelical Association meetings at
Kalapana, Puma and Kipahplu, Maui,
on his work are expected to result in
oth or LEAGUES being formed
A meeting of the Christian Endeav-
ores oL AIoui was held at Kipahulu
after the association meeting, at which
each of the delegates was presented
with a badge memento, bearing the
words q Ma Homo Piilani G. Z. 1906. -
The conditions in Kalapana are very
satisfactory TO the temperance workers.
There there are no licensed drinking
places and no Jail birds, the natural re-
suit, say the teetotalers. A few weeks
ago a man turned up in the place to
open saloon as agent for others back
ing hlln- NHen MS oDJecL Was 1eoIHe
the town rose in objection and petit
ton against the granting of license
was signed by practically every man in
the place. AS consequence the effort
to open the saloon was abandoned.
The following resolution was passed
at the Evangelical meeting:
% Resolved, That this body has heard
with pleasure the address of Mr.. John
NJ. Martin, agent of the Anti-Saloon
League of the Hawaiian Islands, and
hereby expresses it's sympathy with the
purpose of the league in seeking the
overthrow of the traffic in alcohoiicy|

SALE OF TARoENA FACTORY.

On April 3 Morgan sells at auction
the new taroena factory and machinery
on Lilfha street. This is certainly a
proposition that should be owned by
Honolulu capital.
This factory when machinery is run
ming will develop a very valuable local
product. viz, taro, and place the man
ufactured article, ''Taroena." before
thousands of people in the United
States who will talk Hawaii simply be-
cause of it's producing such a valuable
article for the medical world.
The factory is new, the machinery is
new. with all the most modern me-
chanicsl appliances known in the man
ufacture of such an article as taroena.
Contracts for taro are waiting sig
nature. The cost to the promoter, DR..
VILE has been very large. His in
structions are to sell, with very good
personal reasons for selling. For par
ticulars apply JAS. +. MORGAN.

MAKE SUGAR
At CROCKETT
Big Refinery of the Fac.
tors Is Formally
Opened.

CROCKETT, March 10.-With the ex-
pectation of refining 10000 tons of
sugar a year, the big refinery at
Crockett formally opened its plant to-
day. Promptly at 1890 this morning
the whistle of the refinery brought to
an end the three years bondage under
which the former controllers We're
held by the sugar trust. From Val
lejo Junction to Port Costa the whis-
ties of every vessel and factory an
swered the return of the industry to
Crockett
For three years the coterie of Ha-
Waiian planters and their associates
who operated the plant were forced
to keep the doors closed because of
an agreement by which they were to
be paid S250.000 a year to remain idle.
Three years ago today work was sus-
pended and the plant shut down on its
prolonged siege of inactivity. Today's
anniversary marked the occasion for
demonstration from the residents of
Crockett never eQualed in the towns
history.
During the past two months the
refinery has been undergoing COM
plete remodeling and overhauling.
New machinery of the most modern
pattern has been installed and labor
saving devices hitherto unknown on
the Coast used for the first time. In
the past the maximum amount OF
sugar refined a year was between co.
000 and 10000 tons. With the open
ing of the place today, it is calcu-
lated that this amount will be trebled
The force of men employed has been
increased to 400. In the past. also the
men who controlled this industry were
in possession of but DO per cent. of
the island output of cane sugar. but
at present they control over 81 per
cent. The work will proceed steadily,
as the sugar ships are due at regular
intervals, and there will be no shut
downs on this account.
When the price of sugar is on the
decline. it is the intention of the man.
ayers to store it in the warehouses of
the company at Crockett until the
price is raised, when it can be disposed
of at a profit.

CROWDS FILL
THE OPERA HOUSE

The Opera House program last night,
Club, was monster affair and fully
deserved the ovation it received.
"Held by the Enemy was presented
by the Buhler players, Ernest Kaai s
musicians charmed with their splendid
performance and Clarence Macfarlane
and others entertained with perform
ances on the horizontal bar in man-
ner worthy Of the most accomplished
professionals.
Society turned out to see the Buffers
in the last play of the season and it is
safe to say that there were none who
did not regret that it was the last play,
for the theater- goers have come to feel
the Buhlers to be Honolulu institution
and they viii count the weeks until he
returns to Honolulu to again amuse, en-
terrain, delight, instruct and inspire in
live dramas.
Richard BUTLER has broken the record
here for successful theatrical seasons,
from popular standpoint, and Homo
lulu viii always be ready to welcome
him back.
The Hawaii Yacht Club could not
just closed at the Opera House. The
Buhlers, in both E'Held by the En-
envy the war drama, and 'EThelma,' -
caught the people s hearts. Honolulu
likes good plays well performed and it
likes the Buffers, which is the saying
of the same thing in two ways.

STEER WHICH GREW
his OWN Stills

A home grown curiosity in the shape
of steer on natural stills is to be put
on exhibition. at the Zoo this week
being expected on the first Hawaii
steamer from the KapapaIa Ranch.
The steer is perfectly normal except
ing that the hooves have grown to
the thickness of twelve inches. raising
the animal SO far off the ground that
it has to get down on it's knees to
Craze.
The new skating rink, being added
to the Zoo attractions will be opened
within a few days, the work of con-
struction being we'll under way. A
floor Go by so feet is being laid of
two by two stuff hardened with shellac
and sandpapered. The flooring is
mitred so that the skater is always
going with the grain, a decided ad-
vantage with rollers. The stage from
the Hawaiian Village is to be moved
to one end of the rink, which will be
covered from the sun and rain but
open along the sides, ensuring cool
ness from the sea breezes.
A new style of skate has been
bought for this rink, the style just
installed at the Mechanics Pavilion,
San Francisco, and the new Kinks in
Portland, Spokane and Los Angeles.
They are known as the silent skate, a
rubter cushion beneath the footplate
preventing any jar to the skater and
deadening the noise of the skating,
heretofore an objectionaI feature of
roller skating.

Owing to the competition set up by
the Hawaiian Sugar Refinery at
Crockett. Cal, with the Western Sugar
Refinery in San Francisco, owned by
Claus Spreckels, the latter has been
compelled to bring raw sugar from
Cuba as well as Java and the Philip
pines.
In the opinion of Dan H. Case, one of
the returned delegates from Washing

good chances of passing, but with the
term reduced from twenty to FIVE years.
