BURNING AT HER DOCK.

Honolulu, Feb. 13.-The steamer Tex
an, which is on fire at her dock here,
is in serious danger. It is feared that
the fire will damage the vessels hull
and warp the structural beams. The
deck near hatch No. ? is so hot that
it is impossible TO stand on it, and
clouds Of white smoke are coming from
hatch No. 8. An engine of the HOnOlu-
III fire department is pumping 500 gal
Ions of water a minute into the steam
er's hold with the hope of Stacking
the lime which forms part of the car
go. On account of the heat, the fire
men experience great difficulty in 60
ing into the hold and are able to re-
main only a few moments.
The agents Of the Hawaii-American
Steamship line, to which the Texan be-
longs, Captain Lyon, and several repre-
sentatives of insurance companies have
been in consultation with chemists re-
garding means of suppressing the fire.

gas but this was regarded as danger
Gus and it was decided that water was
the only recOuse.
The damage to the cargo is now esti-
mated at $25 600.

MACON GIVEN A HEARING
Governor of the Panama Canal
Zone TeStlfI0S Before the
Senate Committee.

Washington, Feb Ex-Governor Magoon
Of the Panama canal Zones today testified
before the senate committee on inter
oceanic canals.
Fear Of revolution. said Governor Ma
goon, has discouraged agriculture on the
isthmuS but since the United States had
taken over the zone the fear had almost
entirely disappeared and now rich tracts
of land are being taken for cultivation.
The eight-hour law was pronounced by
the witness a blow at the efficiency of
labor upon the canal zone and he recon-
mended that its application to the zone
be suspended.
At the afternoon session Senator Sim
mons asked If there was any disposition
among Panama people in favor Of annex
alton Governor MagOOn said that the
only discussion he had heard on that sub
ject was last summer when a rumOr was
circulated that a union between Panama
and Costa R1ca was being arranged The
Pananans said II there was to be a union
with any government they preferred 1t
with the United States. The witness said
he thought the commission was now eX-
ercising all the functions it would be
called upon TO perform unless there was
a revolution. In that event, he thought,
the United States would be compelled to
broaden its scope in governmental affairs.
Governor MagoOn said he had acquaint-
ed himself during the day with the Bige-
low article and the best answer he could
make would be to endorse the letter u
Secretary Taft and Chief Engineer Stew
ems in that matter, Senators Simmons and
Hopkins protested against dignifying Mr..

was agreed to continue the examination
without reference to his charges. A large
number of statements Of foreign consuIs,
ministers Of the gospel, and affidavits
from Martinique women were offered
bearing on the subject touched upon by
Mr.. BigeloW. The statements denied the
charges that women had been taken to
the isthmus for immoral purposes.
The committee adjourned until 2 o'clock

81 People will earn these prizes.

Around the freside or about the we'll
lighted family reading table during the
winter evenings the children and
grown-ups can play with their wits
and see how many words can be made.
20 people making the greatest num-
Der OF words will each receive little
box containing a $1,000 gold piece.

It is really a most fascinating bit Of
fun to take up the list evening after
evening, and see how many words can
be added.
A few rules are necessary for abso-
lutte fair play.
Any word authorized by webster's
dictionary will be counted, but no
name of person. Both the singular and
plural can be used, as for instance
grape" and grapes"
The letters IN y -I-O-tTrdpe-NuI S
may be repeated in the same word.
Geographical names authorized by
Webster will be counted.
Arrange the words in alphabetical
classes, all those beginning with A to-
gether and those beginning with E to
come under e, etc.
When you are writing down the
words leave some spaces, in the A, E,
and other columns to fill In later as
new words come to you, for they will
spring into mind every evening.
It Is almost certain that some con-
testants will tie with others. IN such
cases a prize Identical in value and
character with that offered In that
class shall be awarded to each. Each
one will be requested to send with the
list Of words a plainly written letter

dear friend we will put dollars to your
pennies that the noon hour will find
a man on our breakfast huskier and
with a stronger heart beat and clearer
working brain than ne ever had on
the old diet.
Suppose, if you have never really
made a move for absolutely clean
health that pushes you along each day
with a spring in your step and a re-
serve vigOr in muscle and brain that
makes the doing of things a pleasure,
you join the army OF plain old com
mon sense" and start in now. Then
after you have been or weeks on
the Grape-Nuts training you write a
statement Of how you used to be and
how you are now. The simple facts
viii interest others and surprise your
self. We never publish names except
on permission, but we often tell the
facts in the newspapers and when re
quested give the names by private let
ter.
There is plenty Of time to get per
sonal experience with GTape-NUts and
write a sensible, truthful letter to be
sent In with the list Of words, as the
contest does not close until April 30th,
1905. So start in as soon as you like TO
building words, and start in using
Grape-Nnts. Cut this statement out
and keep the letters Y-I-O- Grape
Nuts before you and when you write
your letter you will have some reason
to write on the subject why I owe
Grape-Nuts."
Remember. S31 persons will win
prizes, which will be awarded in an
exact and just manner as soon as the
list can be counted after April 30th,
1906. Every contestant viii be sent a

agreed. The company is we'll known
ali over the world for absolute fidel-
ity to its agreements and every single
one Of the S31 winners may depend On
receiving the prize won.

the great number of prizes-CS31)

UTAH IS INVOLVED.
Properties Will Go Into Gigantic
Combination.

While the news contained in the above
dispatches make reference to nothing but
the settlement that has been effected at
Butte, the move can be considered as
that is being played to form the largest
copper trust on earth, Utah is to play
an important part and the hands are now
being dealt
Every move being made points to one
conclusion, namely, that all properties of
note in this western country, with the
probable exception Of those controlled by
the United States company are to be
brought under the direction Of one NAM
moth holding company, with a capital
that may. in the opinion of Oracles in
the financial eenteTs Of the country, ap-
prOXimate $500, 600.
It is believed that the Utah properties
viii, be gradually merged into one branch
Of the monster concern. This branch
viii have its own directing forces and,
possibly for many months or few wears
to come, will maintain a separate iden-
tity, Tt Is also thought possible that be-
fore this object can be ACCOMPLISHED II
big organization in this state. It may not
be possible to get all interests in line
through one organization. If that should
develop to be the case, then more than
one corporation would play at the game
rivals on the surface, partners behind
the scenes-each working with the same
ultimate object in view.
However, it seems more likely that the
world will take so kindly to the scheme;
that the chief manipulators will be so
generous TO all engaged in mining and
smelling on their own hooks as to give
them a square Whack at the big pie, that
opposition will be swept aside and the
financial and speculative world will hand
over the millions necessary to swing the
undertaking with rush. At any rate,
every man who has ventured an opinion
as to the plans Of the combine in the
eastern financial press has been in line
on the main point-that, no matter how
many companies and combinations may
be formed to round up the business, it
will only be a matter Of time till the
parent organization, that is being planned
by the Guggenheims, the Standard Oil
and United States Steel interests, win
be in control Of them all. The public
will hold the bonds and draw good in
terest on the millions 1t advances to fl
nance the stupendous undertaking, while
the few who work out the scheme will
reap the harvest that a control Of the
copper output Of the world will give it
without having in the end given up any
money.

Wages Affect Prices.

wages have been on a steady increase
for the past ten years. The labOrer work
ing in the street gets p cents per day
more for less hours work than he did
ten or fifteen years ago. Skilled labor
is being paid better today than ever be
fore in the history Of the country. In
some instances the increase has been as
high as 80 per cent. This cause con-
tributes to the rise in prices Of manu-
featured goods fully as much as the in
crease in cost of raw materials. The
cost of production is greater; therefore
the selling price must be greater.
But the greatest cause of all is the
increasing strength Of the trusts and their
control of prices.
Realizing the conditions prevailing.
manufacturers have set to work TO pro-
duce better looking through inferior
goods. Finer shaped lasts viii be made
for cheaper shoes, and so on down the
line It will be for the next season a
question Of making fIashy things, goods
which please the eye, rather than at
tempting the production Of articles Of
s11DeriOr quality
