other enterprises have been attempt-
ed, but without success. Coffee was
supposed to offer fine opening for the
small farmer. The price OF tho Bra
lillian coffee. however. dropped so low
that living wages could not be made
in Hawaii in coffee culture. Miles of
small coffee orchards on the Volcano
road leading out OF Hilo had to be
abandoned after annexation. A small
duty on coffee would undoubtedly re-
vive this industry, but as the case
stands today. Hawaiis prosperity de-
pends solely on its sugar industry. This
in Hawaii constitutes both agriculture
and manufacture. 1t has been found
impossible to conduct the industry on a
paying basis on a small scale. The
margin of profit Is so small that unless
the industry is carried on on a large
scale, there is no profit in 1t. This has
been done In Hawaii through corpora
tions, which are practically to a large
extent cooperative societies, the stock
being largely scattered and much of 1t
held in small amounts by residents of
the islands. In fact, sugar shares have
been about the only local investment
nexation. Even the postal savings
bank. which did a very large business
under the Republic, went to the wall
with annexation. Hawaii has a popu-
lation of 10000 people. How long. 1t
may be asked, could their efforts pre-
vail against the output which the T.
100000 of the Philippines could put on
the market?
COULD NOT STAND COMPETITION.
1T would require but a very small
addition to the worlds crop from the
Philippines to absolutely demoralize
the price. There are many ways in
which the Filipinos may be aided with
out placing their sugar on the free
list. Their unrivaled hemp is one of
their natural productions, which can
not be equaled by any other fiber the
world over. They would also be equal
ly benefited with Hawaii by a duty on
coffee. Their tobacco is another in
dustry which ought to produce very
large returns. 1t is said to be of a
distinctly inferior quality to the to-
bacco grown in the United States, and
for that reason does not menace the
tobacco growers of this country.
Those who criticise Hawaii and it's
sugar industry. lose sight of the fact
that the Hawaiian sugar planter. with
his eyes open, elected union with the
United States rather than independence.

sugar market of Western Canada,

patriotism which infiuenced this choice
If the other alternative had been ac-
cepted the islands would have been
made Asiatic for all time to come.
Many of the difficulties which have re-
suited from annexation were anticipat-

LID, president of the conference, de-
livered the sermon, taking for his text
the latter part of the 22nd verse of the
fourth chapter of the Gospel Accord
ing to st. John, For Salvation is of
the Jews" The Bishop stated that he
had prepared another sermon for the
occasion, but at the sight of SO many
foreigners he had decided to take the
text above stated.
He reviewed the history of the Jews,
saying that they were really a much
smaller nation than was generally sup
posed. That there were more Nor
mons than Jews in the United States
according to the census of 1900, that in
Russia there were only 100000 and in
Austro-Hungary only 100000, and that
there were in the entire world less
Jews than there are inhabitants in the
cities of New York and London. But
he said that persecution had driven
many Jews to America and their re-
cent coming had been noticed on ac-
count of the fact OF their persecution.
The Jewish population of America had
increased from 100000 in 1890 to over
100000 in 1900.
He spoke OF the discrimination now
made between races and compared II
to that made in Bible times between
the Samaritans and the Jews.

A MAUI WOMAN
KILLS A BEAR

Vancouver World: Mrs. Scott, the
doughty Amazon of British Columbia
fame, though her deeds have by no
means been confined to this province,
is just receiving hearty congratulations
on having at last added a bear to her
list of trophies. A World reporter
found Mrs. Scott at North Vancouver
or Tuesday afternoon, bending over
the body of the bear, which was being
skinned 1t is fine animal, weighing
perhaps about 800 pounds. Besides
Bruin there was also a magnificent
eagle, which measures seven feet from
wing to wing, and this, too, like the
bear was killed at first shot. Mrs.
Scott came from her home In the Ha-
waiian Islands on purpose to enjoy the
sport for which British Columbia is
so famous. She underwent enormous
hardships while journeying up to In
dian river, where she killed her bear
and was i'll for three days and nights
with bronchitis. Still she would not
turn back. She had left her temporary
home in North Vancouver on purpose
to track that bear and she meant to
have him. Finally, as a reward for her
pains she did have him. The bear was
shot on Sunday morning. Mrs. Scott
uses a 80 special rifle and soft-nosed
bullets. The skin is being prepared and
will be sent on to Mrs. Scott in the
Hawaiian Islands. The eagle will be
stuffed and also sent on after her. She
had much difficulty in finding her dogs
for her bear-hunting expedition, but
finally she managed to obtain them
from Mr.. Anson, of Seymour creek
Both Mrs. Scott's little boys take a
great interest in shooting, but she Il
too wise a mother to let them indulge
in that sport while they are still so
young. Mrs. Scott returns to her
home on the island of Maui, in the
Hawaiian Islands, next week.

Referring to his successful prosecu-
ton of o. st. John Gilbert In the Ho-
nolulu District Court, where the de-
tendant was convicted of cutting trees
on public lands and fined 5000 and
costs, Attorney General Peters said
1T is a strange omission in the for
estry law that there is no specific pro-
vision against cutting down trees ON
Government land. The Gilbert case had
to be prosecuted under the malicious
injury statute.
Here is the Board of Agriculture
and Forestry putting forth every ef-
fort for the conservation and propa-
cation of forests, yet the law creating
the bureau has nothing In it to stop
forest devastation"
The Attorney General prosecuted the
Gilbert case in person, assisted by De-
tective Chester Doyle. Mr.. Gilbert was
defended by Messrs. Chlllingworth
Humphreys and Rawlins. His two
Japanese employees were discharged as
irresponsible in the matter.

(Man Special TO the Advertiser)
WASHINGTON, ID. G., December IS.
The hearings before the House Com
mittee on Ways and Means on the
Philippine Tariff have been In progress
during the past week. Judge +. Nj.
Hatch has been one Of the witnesses
and has also been working Industrious
~ for the defeat Of the bill. 1t Is be-
ginning to look as though the bill
might never become law, although It
Is too early yet to make any positive
predictions. Judge Hatch had very
rough time before the committee. how
ever, Chairman Payne bluntly asking
him what right Hawaii had to COM
plain when her people for twenty years
had enjoyed free trade with this coun-
try2
The fact is, however, that Judge
Hatch has been making some very Of
fective arguments, and these argu-
ments have enlisted the sympathies Of
many House and Senate leaders. He
has urged that Hawaii, as well as
Porto Rico, having accepted in full the
sovereignty OF the United States and
being loyal to the government in every
particular, are more deserving of con-
sideration than islands like the Philip
pines. whose status is uncertain, It not
having been determined yet whether
the Philippines will ever become a per-
manent part of the United States.
1t was the intention OF the Speaker
to have the Philippine bill passed in
the House before the holidays, but the
opposition has been so powerful that 1t
mas been decided to prolong the hear
ings and spar for time. The sugar
trust and the tobacco trust support of
the tariff bill has done 1t no good in
these troublous times when Congress-
men are shy about touching elbows
with such interests, even if the cause
is worthy. Many protests are pouring
In against the bill and there have been
many features to complicate the stu

JUDGE HATCH'S POSITION.
The Washington Post says: Mr..
Francis NJ. Hatch, late Hawaiian Min
lister at Washington, who is spend
ing the winter in the city, in an inter-
view with a reporter of The Post yes
terday, discussing the probable effect
on Hawaii of the proposed Philippine
tariff measure, said:
Everything that Mr.. Walsh has said
in regard to the damage which would
result to Colorado in case Philippine
sugars are admitted into the United
States free of duty, applies with
double force to Hawaii. Hawaii could
not for a moment compete with the
vast quantities of sugar which would
pour into the United States from the
Philippines in case the duty were re-
moved. The danger to Hawaii is great
er than to any other part of the coun-
try, for the simple reason that sugar
is the only crop which can be pro-
duced in Hawaii at a profit. Many

Advices received from Freewater
yesterday by District Attorney Phelps,
says the East Oregonian, are to the
effect that the council Of that place
granted saloon license at a recent
meeting. The license was granted to
man from WallaWalla named NOEL

of the saloon will be arrested for viola
tion of the local option law as soon as
he opens for business, is declared by
the district attorney. According to Mr..
Phelps parties have already consulted
him regarding the matter and COM
plant will be forthcoming as soon as
McElrath is open for business. He
will be prosecuted under the local op.
tion law and the matter will be tried
out at the October term of the circuit
court.
Whether the saloon man will at
tempt to operate his business pending
