EXCURSION PLANS
ARE TALKED OF
SECRETARY WOOD MEETS WITH
THE PROMOTION COMMITTEE
AND REPORTS.

The Hawaii Promotion Committee
met yesterday afternoon and spent
some time in hearing a report from
Secretary Wood of the Promotion Com
mittee in regard to his trip to the
Coast.
In regard to the proposed excursions
the following letters were read. Inc
first is from F. NJ. Jenifer agent of the
Oceanic Steamship Company in Los
Angeles. 1t said:
Il made a trip to San Francisco to
secure, if possible, a steamer for the
Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce eN-
cursion. to sail from San Pedro, put
regret TO report that thee is no avail
able steamer that can be chartered
and that one of the regular STEAMERS
could not be diverted from San frah'
cisco to San Pedro without NlolatlHs
or abrogating our mail contract, O'
the Alameda. Feb. 10th from Sipl Fran.

dooly tbirtv-two rooms, which Will ac-
oon,modate. comfortably, party O.
ohout seventy-five. l have ADVISED MI
virgins and Mr.. r. II. Herr'Nl III"
mic was the best offer we could MAKE
ord they both expressed the OPINION
mat If would be acceptable to the COM
,,it+ae and the Chamber of Commerce
as a whole. They requested me ~ "olo
| tho rooms reserved until after the re-
turn of the Grand Canon EXcurslon'
| Nov. 10th, when they would call
meeting of the committee and take
same definite action. While anything
that will be done until receipt OF COM
munication from you regarding eX-
penses for a stay in the islands, VIII
be of a tentative nature, I am comb
dent. as are Mr.. Virgins and members
| of the committee, that it will crystal
| lie into something definite very soon
will keep you advised from time 70
time as to what progress We are max
| ing, and hope to be able to send you
favorable reports soon"
The second communication is from
Tom Richardson, manager of the Port
| land Commercial Club who writes thus
| hopefully:
Il was very much gratifitd to get
your letter Of November Sth, and II
may be that we will cooperate with
Seattle. The truth of it is, there is a
| great deal more interest here in Ha-
waiian trip than had anticipated, and
we may arrange to send out one boat
with forty people on the regular line
going from here in January, and then
follow that up with another bigger
boat. Our arrangement about the
steamer are not in shape as yet.
Il leave tonight for an eastern trip
that will require some three or four
weeks, but Mr.. Crissey will look after
matters in my absence as thoroughly
as though I were here. VIII try to set
tie definitely with the San Francisco
people this afternoon as to the exact
arrangement we will make with their
| line"
A change will probably be made in
the Committees representatives in Los
| Angeles soon,
The remainder of the business was of
routine nature.

This ailment is usually caused by
rheumatism of the muscles and may
be cured by applying Chamberlain's
Pain Balm two or three times a day
and rubbing the parts vigorously at
each application. If this does not af-
ford relief, bind on a piece Of flannel
slightly dampened with Pain Balm, and
quick relief is almost sure to follow.

The Lecture.

A large audience was present at the
-, hsll last evening to greet the Rev.
Thos. McClary, who was the fourth
attraction of the Palestine Lyceum
course. The subject of Mr.. Mcolary's
lecture was, "The Mission OF Mirth,
or "Why we laugh; how We laugh,
and what we laugh at" He is q lee
turer of experience and his address
contained the elements which make
up an instructive and entertaining
lecture. His humor was genuine, and
in his audience he found the spprecis-
ton due one who plesses. Probably
no other lecturer on this course or any
other, gave more satisfaction than did
Mr.. McCIsry, and his philosophy and
advice will remain as pleasant tokens
of his visit to this city.

Injurious in the orchard pasturing, the
orchard with neither sheep or hogs re-
suited In better yields than those not
pastured. The fertilized orchards
yield an average increase Of 55 bush.
els per acre over those to which no
FERTILIZER had been applied. Data was
collected OF the value Of spraying ap.
pies and 1t was shown that while 8.43O
bushels OF sprayed apples brought an
average of $2.02 per bushel, 6,365 bush.
els OF unsprayed apples brought but
$3.50 per bushel.
The effect of distance between trees
planted before 1880 was studied in it's
relation to yield. Taking figures from
an average Of four years 1t was found
that trees planted 80 by 80 feet apart
yield 1876 bushels per acre; trees 81 by
81, to 35 by 35 feet apart, 222 bushels
per acre. and trees SO by SO to 40 by 40
feet apart yield 229 bushels per acre a
year. Observations in the counties
showed that while the site is not a
very important factor the best site is
doubtless one that is sufficiently ele-
waited to give good opportunity for air
and for water drainage and not so high
as to be especially exposed to the wind.
This survey Of the New York section
covering, as 1t does, the actual prac-
tees OF farmers in two Of the most i'm.
portant fruit-growing counties of New
York. and giving the actual results in
yields and income by different meth.
DDS OF treatment In hundreds of or.
chards, is on a sufficiently large scale
to make the results obtained Of more
than usual value and interest. It is
exceedingly gratifying to find that the
cultural methods long recommended
by experiment stations as a result of
trials on small scale hold true when
applied to orcharding on commercial
scale.

Up-t0-Date Weather Reports.

The latest work upon which the
United States Weather Bureau has en-
tered is system Of meteorological OBJ
servations from vessels at sea by wire
less telegraphy and the simultaneous
issuance of weather forecasts and
storm warnings to those vessels. The
Weather Bureau has prepared special
code by means of which exact informa-
tion as to date and hour, latitude and
longitude of the vessel, atmospheric
pressure, temperature, force and direc-
ton of the wind, and the character OF
the sky are all compressed into four
words. AS soon as any coast wireless
telegraph station receives such dis
patch from vessels, the message is to
be delivered at once to the Weather
Bureau at Washington. Should the
contents of this message be of such
importance as to demand special storm
warnings, notices will be prepared and
dispatched BY wireless -tteiiegraphy to
all vessels in the vicinity affected. The
value of such a service might be cited
when the experience Of the steamship
Campania Is remembered. On October
IL last, this liner was caught in a hur-
ricane. The storm was found to have
had no great area and 1t is stated by
the Weather Bureau that had the sys-
tenn proposed been in use at that time,
warning of its existence might have
enabled the Campania and other YES
sells to avoid it's center of activity. An.
other feature Of great value in this

the pan being full Of holes to allow
free circulation Of heat. Over this Is
placed a table 2 feet 6 inches square
with legs Az inches high. Around the
sides of this table is tackled a curtain
of old felt cut from top to bottom at
intervals Of five or six inches to allow
the chicks to pass in and out at will,
the whole being surrounded by boards
4 inches high and 3 inches long nailed
together at the corners and resting on
the floor Of the brooder. When the
chicks are ten DAYS old one Of these
boards may be taken away and the
bridge used so that the chicks may run
from the hover to the floor Of the
room. The description Of the brooder
can be found in Farmers Bulletin No.
2S7, which can be had upon application
to members Of Congress or to the. Sec
rotary Of Agriculture.

A Broodor lb< a DoIlstr.

The Department of Agriculture has
recently published method Of con-
structing a chicken brooder, the total
cost Of which might come well within
$1.00. Such a brooder has been given
careful trial by the Connecticut expert
ment station, and has given excellent
results when used in shed or colony
house. The lower section of the brood
er which contains the lamp for heating
is box 3 IT. square made Of 10 inch
boards and covered with. tin or gal
vanized iron. About this cover, around
the edges Of the lamp box, one inch
strips are nailed. Two one inch holes
are bored through these strips on each
side OF the box for the purpose of VEN
tilation. A floor of matched boards is
laid on the strips. A hole 8 inches In
diameter Is cut in the center of this
floor and over it is turned an old tin

SECRETARY STAY WAS LATE.
He Narrowly Escaped Call Down
by Ngilant Waterman.

Secretary of the Treasury Shaw was
three minutes late in reaching the Treas
ury Department the other morning and
narrowly ESCAPED being held up by the
vigilant Waterman at the door.
1t was raining when he arrived, and
he hurried through one of the seldom
used entrances to the building.
1t is one of the regulations of his de-
partment that all employees arriving late
shall register the time of their arrival
at a desk near the entrance
Mr.. Shaw did not consider himself
amenable to this regulation and hurried
to the elevator to go to his Office, on the
second floor. The Waterman noticed his
apparent carelessness in not registering
and, not recognizing him, hurried after
the Secretary to remind him of his neg
lect.
When the Waterman reached the ele-
vator, however, he heard the conductor
address his passenger as Mr.. Secre'
tarv."
The watchman's activity ceased imrne'
diately.
Secretary Shaw remarked later in the
day that he was sorry he did not 80
back and register, as all good employees
are required to do.
