CLOSING EXERCISES
OF WAIPABU SCHOOL

The closing exercises of the Wal
pahu school took place Friday morning
before large audience of parents and
friends. A most enjoyable program
was rendered. An exhibit of needle
work showed that the children are
learning to do practical things. Every
garment worn by a boy or girl was
made during the year. There were also
tea cloths and table covers with
elaborate drawn work.
The improvement in the grounds
around the school shows the result of
the agricultural work by the boys.
The large new flag given by the
Federal government fioated for the
first time on Flag day.

CECIL BROWN. ATTORNEY AT
LAW

1.-The Hawaiians have universally
accepted the changed conditions fol-
lowing annexation.
2.-There is no doubt in my mind
that the condition of the islands on
the whole are improved as a result of
annexation, saving only the question
of emigrants for labor sufficient to
meet the requirements of our various
agricultural industries.
AS eighty per cent. of the federal
revenues that are collected in this ter
ritory are collected from goods import
ed from China and Japan. and such
revenues would not be collected but
for the laborers that use them and
come here to work. it is proper that
the revenues or three-fourths should
be expended for improvements OF
substantial nature within this terri
tory.
4.-There are openings for agricul-
tural industries other than the raising
of sugar, such as sisal. coffee. tobacco.
fruits and small farming but none Of
the undertakings named should be
commenced unless sufficient capital is
possessed to carry through the in
dustries named to a producing and re-
munerative stage
5.-The land laws as they exist at
present, are. from our peculiar situa-
ton and circumstances connee-ed
with our population better suited for
our wants but there is a question IN
my mind as 10 whether or not they
will advance the i'm erests OF 'Ameri-
canisna" so-called.
6.-The japanese take TO american
ideas. and assimilate Themselves with
such ideas more readily than the
Chinese.

statements made by plantation owners
and agents. the attitude OF the sugar
plantation interests is favorable TO

DIAMOND HEAD
IMPROVEMENTS

" Charlie Peterson, the Diamond Head
marine lookout man, has been given a
more cheerful outlook of life through
the renovation of his eyrie by the SUI
perintendent of Public Works.
About a year ago the Advertiser call
ed attention to the lookout cottage and
premises. forming as they did an eve
sore right upon the tourist road around
Diamond Head. There was a kitchen
annex that looked like a huge packing
case, battered by storm and it's cracks
battened with ancient tinplate and
sealed with old newspapers. The cot
tage itself was weather beaten, stained
of the briny atmosphere. it's roof and
sides leaking. A rough pole railing
enclosed the grounds, which We're in
the natural rough.
Now the house is painted, the kitchen
renewed, the whole building made
weather proof and slightly, besides hav-
ing a liberal dressing of dark green

pressive spots about the island coasts
than the elevated bench, between the
promontory's peaks and the ocean,
upon which the lookout and the light
are placed short distance apart, on
opposite sides of the scenic highway.

(Conclusion.)
THE ANSWERS.
C. B. WELLS. SUGAR GROWER,

IL think as whole they are we'll
pleased, for the reason that their
franchise privileges have been in
creased.
2.-Yes. There has been a remark
able impetus to the sugar industry
since annexation, the result of stable
form of government and an assurance
of a market for our sugar.
3.-Yes
Ayes. on a limited scale
81 believe they give general sat
isfaction.
6.-They very soon adapt themselves
to American ideas and ways. and are
quick TO follow American methods.
7.-Yes, to a class from any European
country who come from the agricul-
tural districts and are willing to work.
S-Yes
81 believe they will be a success if
the laborers introduced here from Eu-
ropean countries are not recruited
from the riffraff of the cities. and
come here with the intention of being
agricultural 1ahorers.
10.-Decidedly. The volume of bust
ness with the mainland has increased
enormously since annexation. For ex-
ample. the sugar company with which
am associated is now expanding $780,
0GO for machinery and other improve
ments. most of which come from the
mainland. which sum would not have
been expended if old glory had not
been raised.

12.-This is problema
BIT viii expedite y marketing
of our sugars in New York.
III think the passenger service be-
tween San Francisco and Honolulu Is
excellent. In my opinion if the fare
was reduced it would encourage more
tourists to visit our country. who hav-
ing seen the beauties of the islands
and absorbed our climate would want
to come again and bring others.

DOUBLE-HEADERS
in COLLISION

Butte, Mont. March ia. - During
thesfercest storm that has ragged along
the line in 30 years, four giant locomo-
tives of the Oregon Short Line crashed
together a short distance this side of
Humphrey Tuesday morning, killing
Fireman S. J. Lucas and painfully in
juring lumber of trainmen and occu-
pants of the passenger coaches. Lucas
was hurled headlong against the door
of the tirebox and was buried beneath
mass of flaming coal.
When rescued his face and head
were charred almost beyond recogni-
ton.
Engineer Erickson escaped by leap
ing through a cab window. He was
painfully cut about the hands and
arms, butt was otherwise uninjured.
Conductor John Quinn suffered a
bruised head, and Baggageman Fritz
patrick sustained scalp wound.
The passengers ON sthe northbound
train escaped without injury, although
many were severely shaken up.
The engines were going double head
ers because of the deep snow, and. ow-
ing to the fact that the water tank at
Monida was frozen, two engines left
that point for the next tank, thinking
they had the right of way. A short
distance on the double header struck
the drouble header coming in the oppo-
site direction.
The collision broke the steam pipes
of the coaches and the passengers were
compelled to remain in their berths TO
escape the piercing cold, the tempera-
ture being 30 degrees below zero.

FARM Rs' UNION.
Will Sell A" Their Products BY Their
AGENT.

Agent.
The fruit growers and vegetable pro
ducers of Spokane county have erect
ed an organization.
A resolution was passed that the
Spokane County association be formed
along the lines of that In Puyallup ana
that the fruit growers and vegetable
producers form a union as a central
body. which is to act as agent for the
county, and none of the members are
to sell any of the produce except
through the union.
The proposition is to have a gen
eral distributing agency and all the
fruit growers and vegetable producers
are to have stock in this central body
Each man, whether he owns 10 shares
or one share, will have but one vote in
the union.
A competent man is to be secured to
sell the produce and the producers are
not to sell it except through him. This
agent is to be in the direct employ
ment of the union and to see that the
markets are supplied in the most econ
omic manner, and that the products OF
the county are placed where they will
bring the best price, controlling the
output so there will be a demand for
the products.

thony closed at 1910 O'Clock Tuesday
morning. The end came peacefully.
Miss Anthony had been unconscious
practically for "a hours and her death
had been momentarilly expected since
Sunday night. Only her wonderful
constitution kept her alive.
DR.. M. S. Kicker, her attending ply
stefan said Miss Anthony died of heart
failure induced by double pneumonia.
She has had serious valvular heart
trouble for the last six or seven years.
Her lungs were practically closed the
pneumonia had yielded to treatment,
but the weakness of her heart prevent
ed her recovery. Susan B. Anthony
was one of the foremost opponents of
women's suffrage of the time. She
came of a noted family, and her bro

for many years until his death a few
years ago. So persistent was she in her
advocacy of equal rights that she has
appeared before committees in congress
on the subject every year since 1869,
it is stated. She had stormy career,
and was once arrested and tried for
voting under the fourteenth amend
ment. in 1872.
Susan Brownell Anthony was born
ON February 10, 1820,at Adams, Mass.
She was educated in school main
tanned by her father at Battenville, N.
y, and at Quaker boarding school
In Philadelphia. At the age of 10 years
she became school teacher, and until
she was 30 years of age followed this
vocation.
Ill was In 1852 that she first began
her career as a public woman and a re.
former. She organized at that time
the first women's state temperance So
clety, and became active in antislaverv
and women's rights affairs.
She was secretary of the Women s
National Loyal league during the civil
war. Since the war closed her whole
time has been devoted to women, g
rights, and she has never lost an oppor
tunlty to WELD tongue or pen in behalf
OF that cause. She has appeared as a
contributor in the foremost periodicals
OF the day, and also on platforms in
every large city in the country.
One Of her ventures was the Revoln-
ZIONIST an organ designed to spread
tne Idea that women were entitled 10

we can not increase wages with
out advancing the price of coal and we
are not willing to advance the price
of coal" is the reply to the demand
for a general increase in wages
In conclusion, the statement says:
1T has been our hope, and we trust
the public expectation as well, that
the effect OF the exhaustive investiga-
ton and findings of the distinguished
citizens who constituted the anthracite
strike commission would be to estab-
fish just and permanent adjustment
of the relations between the operators
and their employees. Therefore, we re-
ject the suggestion that an entirely
new and untried system should be
made which is only to last one year
1T is not to Tie interest of the en-
ployers and employees, nor of the pub
lie, To have the mining business as
well as the general business and COM
fort of the people seriously disturbed
by these yearly contentious.
Neither the public nor the opera
tors can stand these progressive and
enormous increases in the cost of the
production of anthracite coal, followed
necessarily by corresponding increase
in the price.
1T is peculiarly fortunate. there
fore that existing conditions have all
been the result of arbitration by third
persons; that neither party can say
that it has not had due consideration.
There can be no doubt that the good
of all concerned will be served best
by adhering to the results thus
reached"
