MENACE OF MACHINE MUSIC.
By Carl q. Schmidt.

The one thing Americans have been repeat

are told that we seek TO accomplish in months
that to which other nationalities devote years.
We are in a hurry with our arts and business.
These criticisms are in many respects true AS
a people we seem no longer content to enrich
our lives by years Of careful study; we prefer

blanks. one for each guest:

filled in and the old "story" idea may
be employed. The one to whom the

write the thing that Jane Jones told,
and doubling the story down and out

who fills in the next blank
and goes through the same perform

the last blank is filed the papers all
have been returned to their original
owners and in turn the story that Jane
Jones told with all it's variations, &C
cording to the minds through which
the story has passed, are read.

As a part of this plan of veterinary
inspection on each island, but effective
whether that plan is carried out or
not. the board has formulated a series
of regulations regarding the importa-
ton of livestock of all kinds, based
on the authorization of the United
States Bureau of Animal Industry to
its officers to inspect and make mall
lein and tuberculin test, at mainland
ports, of all animals intended for ship
ment to this Territory. Under these
regulations, when they are approved
by the Governor, it will be unlawful
to import horses, mules. asses. cattle

and. where ii is appropriate, that they
have undergone the mallein or tuber-

Under Act 112 of the Session Laws
of 1907. regulations of the Board OF
Commissioners Of Agriculture and For
estry have the force of law. and their
violation may be punished by fine not
exceeding $500.
The reasons for the regulations and
the general plan of them are set forth
by Dr. Victor Norgaard in recommend
ing them to the board. as follows, the

Another effort is to be made to di-
vert japanese labor from here to Cam
ada. A new scheme is being formu-
lated to this end, and a steamer, it is
stated on the best of authority, has
been chartered to leave here in jan
uary.
The same people are engineering this
scheme who chartered the KHmeric

and took the several hundred japanese

HILO-SAN PEDRO
STEAMSHIP LINE
viii Be Running Within Three
MOnths---6000.T0n
Vessel.

/ Within three months, according to
unofficial information, sfx-tnousand
] ton steamship will be running between
HiIo and San Pedro and transport
| ing from the former to the latter port
ohia timber contracted for by the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe rail-
road, making round trip every month
and carrying during each year for a
period of five years about 100000 ties
from Hawaii.
| Representatives Of the Hawaiian
Mahogany and Lumber Company, with
which the Santa Fe has negotiated,
| those of them who could be seen last
night, stated that no information had
been received concerning consume
nation of the business in regard to
securing vessel to handle the big con-
tract. J. B. Castle was on Tanta1ua
and out of telephone communication,
but it was stated by one who is in
terested that he saw Mr.. Castle at
o'clock yesterday afternoon and Mr..
Castle had at that time received no
news of arrangements being completed
for the steamer or steamers to be
secured for the run.
Robert Shingle, who went East and is
presumed to have included this matter
in the business that took him on his
trip, was heard from under date of
December 10, by cable, but is reported
not to have referred to the steamship
business.
The Matson Navigation Company's
new steamship Lurline was some time
ago mentioned as a possibility in con-
nection with the ohia contract, but it
was said by one of the promoters last
night that it was almost certain that
the idea Of the Lurline going on the
Hilo-San Pedro run was out of the
question and, indeed. the Lurline had
never been very seriously considered.
More than one boat will be required
and the Santa Fe specifies that the
ohia be delivered at San Pedro.
While the identity of the steamship
arranged for is not known and while
the statement is made that it is prob
ably not the Lurline, it is thought by
authorities in the shipping business
! that Matson would not let contract
such as that involving hundreds OF
thousands of tons Of ohia go to any
company but his own and it is pos
sibIe that the Lurline may make the
GIilo-San Pedro Honolulu run after
all. Still, some of the directors have
said, more than one boat is necessary
and will probably be secured.
No matter what boat she may be, the
information that final arrangements
have been made for six-thousand ton
boat between Hilo- and San Pedro,
comes from a source that has always
been reliable
