Threatened Bagging Shortage.

Among kilograms recently received
at Little Rock over the Board Of
Trade wires, was one bearing the in.
formation that bagging for cotton was
scarce in the interior and that orders
amounting to so car loads had been
Cancelled recently. 1t is said that one
firm in New Orleans was Offering 8 IL
cents for 100000 yards of two pound
bagging, or a IA of a cent above the
listed price. Inquiry among the job
bers of Little Rock revealed the fact
that enough bagging is on hand there
to supply the local demand. One firm
said that in addition to its Little
Rock supply it had bagging stored at
st. Louis and Memphis.

Is II a New One?

Much interest has been caused by
the report that men excavating in the
rear of the Rector bath house on Cen
trail avenue, Hot Springs, had dis
covered a new hot water spring, I'M
earthed a good quality Of slate, and
found good indications of coal. The
property is owned by Col. E. W. Rec
tor, who was having the excavations
made to install a new house heating
plant for the Rector bath house. 1t is
the general opinion that the spring is
not genuine, but only from a leak in
the hot-water pipes leading into the
bath house. The fact that it is just
across Central avenue from the other
hot springs leads other people to be-
lieye that after digging deeper, a gen
uine hot spring will be opened. The
temperature of the water is 100 de
greeS Fahrenheit

Havana.-Words expressive Of the
warmest appreciation and gratitude
were heard on all sides when Pres
ident Roosevelt's message of sympa-
thy to the people of Cuba because of
the damage wrought by the storm was
made public. Reports received by
Magoon from the provincial governors
show that the hurricane was less dis,
astrous in its results than was at first
believed. The storm was confined
mainly to the provinces of Havana and
Pinar del Rio. Batabano, 80 miles
southeast of Havana, is the only town
except the capital which suffered
greatly The mayor of that place re-
ports that nine persons weT2 killed
and many are missing. The American
steamers Campbell, plying between the
Isle Of Pines and the coast, and Sara,

were wrecked. Numerous houses We're
blown down and hundreds of persons

Coming Out of the Wilderness.

I'm thirty days the Ola and Darda-
nellie Railroad will be completed,
said Col. C. c. Goldman recently, at
Dardanelle. Only a mile and half
of steel is to be laid and few bridges
are yet to be completed. Col. God
man has about $50 men now pushing
the work to completion. The work
was started March II, 1906, and it
would have been finished, he says,
if there had not been so much rain
and such a scarcity of labor. There
is one thirty-foot fill and two cuts of
about 20 feet. The slopes of two
mountains were cut thrOugh-one
about thirty feet deep for nearly one
hundred yards and the other about
one-half as long and ten feet deep.
There are five bridges in the II miles
and one trestle over Petit Jean bot
tom is at least one-half mile long.
Col. Goldman, in speaking of Darda-
nellie, says it is one OF the finest bus
mess points in the state, having much
fine farming country to back the town.

OFFICE MEN AT TER
THE DING DINGS

The Ding Ding baseball nine, as the
Rapid Transit ball tossers have become
known, met with defeat in champion
ship series, going down before the In
fantry nine. The Rapid Transit play
ers are recruited almost entirely from
motormen and conductors and for d
team which has been in the public eye
for so short time, it did remarkably
well. But the office staff of the Rapid
Transit Company thinks that the Ding
Ding showing was not the best and
so they have decided to form nine
and issue a challenge to the outside
men. SO they have organized the fol
lowing nine:
A Day, c; C. r. Menaugh, p; Thos.
G. Ballentyne, 10; w. A. Melbourne,
2b; Jack Wait, 3b; L. H. Wolf, SIS; W.
E Waylnan, IF; Chas. Stevens, eff; All
Loo, If
With the exception of Thos. Ballen-
tyne, who is the main prop of the
team, the remainder of the nine is
entirely unfamiliar with ball playing,
but they believe with one days prac-
tice they could wallop the outside boys.
They await the acceptance of their
challenge.

POULTRY SHOW WILL
OPEN THIS AFTERNOON
Splendid Exhibition of Fine Fowls Is Rea ady--
Judge Woodruff Pleased With
Quality and Quantity.

The desire for an exhibition that
would be agricultural in its limita-
| tions seemed to exist among a ma
| jority of the exhibitors at the poultry
show yesterday. There are we'll bred
horses and cows in the Territory and
products of the homesteads that would
go far toward making such an exhi-
vide the place and the necessary
booths are not in sight and it is not
! thought the money could be raised
except by the aid of the Government
| The present show of poultry, fruit,
| honey, silk and palms is a credit to
| the place but it is of a private nature
| and is a small affair compared with
what could be made with the aid of
the Government.
By comparison the exhibition of a
year ago fades into insignificance
| when the birds, both as to quality
and numbers, are considered and yet
this is only the beginning. 1t was
, announced that judgment would be
passed on the birds at one O'Clock
yesterday but at that hour there were
few more than half of the birds in
the coops so that the interesting
feature was postponed until later in
the day, Judge Woodruff, who came
down from the Coast to make the
awards was busy in the meantime tax
ing look at the different coops. To
! an Advertiser reporter he said:
81 am delighted with Honolulu and
surprised at the quality of the birds
in this exhibition. When / first ar
rived nearly every one interested in
raising poultry told me the quality was
nothing to be compared with that of
the Coast birds but l think now they
were trying to fool me. There is moth
ing to be ashamed of in any of the
coops and that row of barred Plymouth
Rocks would be a good showing in
any exhibition on the mainland.
''I have found two or three of the
roosters in this display over weight
but on the average they are less than
standard and ] believe that defect is
due to climate. There IS pair of Ply
mouths that will come near to perfec-
tion when it is time for Judgment and
there are some of the other breeds quite
as good. One of the Langshan cocks
is beauty but a shade under weight.
l think the poultry men of Hawaii may
well feel pleased at their success and
it occurs to me that this sort of thing
is going to grow into a bigger one in
the near feature.''
The exhibit comprises the following
numbers and varieties; the number rep
resenting the number of coops:
Fifty-seven barred Plymouth Rocks,
thirteen white ditto, one silver laced
Wyandotte, five white ditto, three buff
ditto, four Columbian ditto, three
Rhode Island reds, six light Brahmas,
one cock weighing Is IA pounds, the
standard weight being twelve pounds, |
one dark rahma, seven buff Cochlns, |
