| Editor Advertiser: Like most kama

Impressions of Honolulu ana life ana
conditions in Hawaii as published by
able writer's abroad, and in this cate
tgory I include the interesting notes by
VIM. j Kline of the Evening Recorder,
Amsterdam, n. Y, which appear in
your columns this morning This gem
tleman. however, through what 1 can
only put down to a singular lapse of
memory, commits an egregious blunder
when he ascribes to the American poet
Bryant the lines: 'Breathes there the
man with soul. so dead etc. This
quotation. Mr. Editor, as you and, prob
ably, many of your readers are aware.

William Cullen Bryant was only born

while the great bard of Abbotsford had
already been gathered to his fathers in
1882, Mr.. Kline is responsible for a
palpable anachronism. The forceful
and noble sentiments in which Scott
expresses love of ones native land have
been re-echoed in every tongue of the
civilized world, and were familiar to
the writer when a boy and before he
ever set foot on soil where English is
the vernacular. Wherefore he hopes
stanza verbatim ct literatim," viz:
.Breathes there the man with soul so
dead
Who never to himself hath said,
This is my own my native land!
Whose heart hath ne'er within him
burn'd.
AS home his footsteps he hath turn'd
From wandering on a foreign strand?
If such there breathe, go mark him
we'll,
For him no minstrel raptures swell;
High though his titles. proud his name,
Boundless his wealth as wish can
Despite those titles, power. and pelf,
The wretch concentred all in self,
Living shall forfeit fair renown,
And. doubly dying shall go down
To the vile dust from whence he sprung.
Unwept, unhonord and unsung.'

GRAND RUSH FOR

Enthusiasm

Twisp, Wash, June 2S.-Publica-
tion of the law opening the forest re-
serves to homestead eutry, which be
camsseffective last week. has been re-
ceived with enthusiasm In this Sec
ton.
AS soon as the information got gen.
orally circulated here there was
grand rush for the forest reserves, and
hundreds of claims have been staked
out by men who knew the ground, and
where the most valuable locations
were to be found. The section getting
the most attention from those who
would have Lomesteads on the reserve
is creek about 20 miles Dorth of
here, known as Eight Mile creek The
stream furnished plenty of water for
the irrigation of many acres, and it's
low banks make the taking out of
bitches an easy matter.
There are hundreds OF acres located
in the little valley. a great portion of
which is meadow land, and ready for
the plow. Prior to the time this land
was included in the Washington forest
reserve there came very near being
bloodshed over disputed ownership
of tracts, but its inclusion in the re-
serve put peaceabls end to what
might have been serious mixup.

CAPTURE GANG OF
COUNTERFE|TERS

Seattle, June 28.-The most COM
plete counterteitIng plant for the man.
ufacturing of gold coius ever found in
the Northwest has been located and
seized by Capt. B. ". Bell of this
city, chisf of the secret service division
for Washington, Oregon and Idaho,
after months of quiet work. The plant
was secured by Capt. Bell and his
men late yesterday afternoon thirteen
miles south of Huntington Or, on
the Snake River, just over the Idaho
line. Three arrests were made by
Capt. Bell.
The men caught are Ezra R. Coon,
known as one of the most successful
and daring counterfeiters who has
ever operated in the West and who is
we'll known in Seattle; Joe Hs nsen
and John r. Williams. the latter hav-
ing, it is alleged, confined his efforts
to passing spurious coins in Portland
and other cities. The news of the
capture, most important of its kind
ever made within this secret service
division, came to The Times in a spec.
ial dispatch.
A queer incident i'll connection with
the capture is that Capt. Bell has be.
fore arrested Coon and for operating
counterfeiting den at practically the
same spot as the one he descended op-
op yesterday. For his previous work
across the Idaho line, Coon was sen.
tenced OH October 19, 1901, to three
years at McNeil's Island. He was then
making counterfeit gold coins and
nall dollars. The coins were excellent
and were manufactured from hot dies.
For the past few months Coon has
posed as a jeweler. He had letter heads
printed showing his place of business
60 be Huntington. Ore. IT was through
these letter heads that 'Ioon was enab.
led to secure the very finest machinery
and appliances for making = of spur
ious money. For the present plant.
which Fthe man has been running
quietly tor several weeks, Coon paid
many thousands of dollars.
The arrest was somewhat lacking in
spectacular incidents, but the fact that
the gang mas been trlpped up in it's
work has, according to dispatch,
caused q tremendous amount of ex
citement in and about Huntington.
The gang is known to be large one.
Several more arrests al certain to fol-
low and before the case is finished it
is predicted that Capt. Bell and his
assistants will have put behind the
bars not only the biggest, but the
best organized and most dangerous
gang of crooks that has ever been en-
gagged In making and passing spurious
money west of the Mississippi.
The plant of Coon and his men was
located in an inaccessible spot on the
Snake River. The secret service men
gathered and at Huntington on Tues
day morning and drove out to rar ch

IDLY as laborer. After notifying the

problem was presented at the National
Conference on immigration by the various
speakers II is reflected in the scope and
extent of the subjects there discussed. SO
numerous were these subjects that 1t IL
