CHARMED
DR.. Cox of Portland,
Ore, Well Pleased
With Honolulu.

1.-The perfection of Hawaii's climate
reminds me of the happy commingling
of mainland June tempered by the
autumn airs of September and Octo-
ber."
This is the verdict of DR.. r. N. Cox
of Portland, Oregon, a guest at the
Moana Hotel. The doctor looks upon
the climate enjoyed in Honolulu as
about as near perfect as one could
wish for. DIR. Cox is sending a number
Of press letters back to his home pa
pers, telling of the delightful features
of life in Honolulu, and among them
the fine winter sea bathing off the Mo-
ana Hotel
''One thing that struck me on ar
rival was the slight but interesting
foreign touch to your otherwise thor
oughly up-to-date American city, add
ed Dr. Cox, land that was, of course
the greater number of nationalities

Europeans of many countries, Porto
Ricans, negroes, japanese, Chinese, Ko-
reans, and not only these. but the vari-
GUS gradationS or mixtures of these
races. Really, it is most interesting.
But in all I find the American
sentiment is strong here. AS an ex-
ample, the other day 1 stood on a COR

NEARLY STRUCK THE REEF.

The British bark Dumfriesshire on
leaving port Saturday for Eureka had
a narrow escape from piling herself up
at Waikiki. The vessel was running
close to the shore and people along
the beach observed this fact. Sud
denly she seemed to get an impetus
which carried her perilously close to
the breakers. There was sudden ac-
tivity aboard the bark and an anchor
was thrown out. The vessel held.
Shortly afterward wind blew off
shore and, taking up his mud hook,
Captain Taylor stood his vessel out to
the open sea.

Executive Chamber.
Honolulu. Hawaii. Dec. 10, 1905.

Honolulu. Hawaii Dec. 19, 1905.
| Dear Sir: Inclosed I hand you sup
| Elemental estimates, as follows:
Legislative expenses, Territory of
Hawaii, 1907: For legislative expenses
| namely: Furniture, light, stationery
record castings and files, printing and
binding, indexing records. postage. ice
water, clerk hire, mileage of members
incfdentals, pay of chaplain, clerk, SER
geant-at-arms, stenographers, and
messengers, thirty thousand dollars:
Provided, That the members of the
Legislature of the Territory of Hawaii
shall not draw their compensation of
two hundred dollars for any extra ses-
sion held in compliance with section
fifty-four of an act to provide a gov
ernment for the Territory of Hawaii,
approved April 80. A D. 1900
There is omitted from the foregoing
the compensation Of members provided
in the "organic act.'' with the idea
that this should be met from local
funds. This amounts to $4,000 for any
regular session and $4,000 for any extra
session.
If this payment for the extra ses-
sion be allowed, it is but natural for
every legislative assembly to conclude
that it can not complete the business
satisfactorily in sixty days and must
resort to an extra session. This has
been the universal rule since annexa-
tion. Therefore if this appropriation
is made with a proviso that the MEM
bers of the legislative assembly shall
not draw their compensation of 5000
each for any extra session the assem-
bly, might deem necessary to hold, the
necessity for most extra sessions would
in all probability disappear. Very sin
cerely yours,
G. r. CARTER, Governor.
