The fashion of giving a name to
every farm.is on the increase. and it
strikes us as very sensible one.
One practical benefit to the public
would be that it would help to
identify farm homestead in case of
change of ownership an incident of
perhaps too frequent occurrence in
the restless and speculative west.
If Smith sold out his place it would
not be called the cold Smith farm"
but would have name of its own,
after the sensible fashion prevailing
in the British isles. Within the past
week or two The GAZETTE has print
ed stationery for Maple Hill farm,
owned by John Colyille, and Happy
Valley Farm, owned by the genial
Ed. Chapman, who will find it easy
to live up to the title of his home
stead.

A conference for the merging of
the Congregational. United Brethren
and Methodist Protestant churches
was under consideration by church
council of representatives of those
bodies last week. There is no. con-
stitutional prohibition against a mer-
ger of this kind, and it will strike
most people as a sensible PROPOSE
ton. The ultimate object of the
meeting is said to be the gathering
of all the Protestant sects in the
country in one body under the name
of the United Church, which will
have as underlying principles free
dom of Individual action in the local
affairs Of each church and the unity
of all the churches for mutual well
fare and cooperation. Blest be the
tie that binds.

NEW KIND OF TIMBER DESTROYERS.

The United States forest service
is offering for sale in the Black Hills
forest reserve, 250,000,000 feet of
timber which is infested by the bark
beetle.
The greatest war ever waged
against a small insect in this west
ern country has been bravely fought
by the forestry department, which
has at last been obliged to admit
itself vanquished by little beetle
from one-sixth to one-fourth of an
inch inklength. The only salvation
now for the remaining timber is to
remove as rapidly as possible all in
tested timber so that the beetles
may die.before infesting the sound
trees.
To this end, the department offers
for sale this immense amount of

Out of the 1872 high schools in this
state only twelve show a larger en-
rollment of boys than of girls, and
the girls constitute nearly two-thirds
of the membership of these schools.
If this tendency continues, it will
not be many years before women
will be filling all the high-priced
positions and men will do the drudg-
cry. The big salaries are seeking
people with trained minds rather
than trained muscles.

w. ]. Bryan particularly appropri-
ate: eff the Father deigns to touch
with divine power the cold and
pulseless heart of the buried acorn

so stoops to give to the rose bush,
whose withered blossoms float up on

ance of another springtime, will He
withhold the words of hope from the

Senator C. A. Johnson has intro
duced bill in the legislature to
establish a public park at Fort
Ridgley. The bill provides for the
purchase of 240 acres of land and
the removal of all structures built
on the same since the battle, and
carries an appropriation of $40, 1000.
1t would seem an appropriate act to
set aside one historic battlefield to
commemorate the Indian outbreak
of 1862, while the price of land is
reasonably low.

The world do move. The latest in

fact that no particular section of
this or any other country is free
from occasional dangerous outbursts

THE WHEAT BELT SHIFTING.

Emigration from the states to
western Canada is so common as to
be taken as matter of course, but
nevertheless it has become an i'm
portant factor in our industrial de-
velopment.
The movement of our people to
Canada in large numbers began six
or seven years ago, and for the past
three years has been very large. If
we look for some of the causes that
have led to this large migration we
find that the country west of Win
nipeg to the Rocky mountains is a
gently rolling prairie with a rich
soil, especially adapted to growing
wheat and other small grains and to
the raising of stock, and its condi-
tons are such as are familiar to
farmers of the northwest.
When they see the land they know
what they can do with it and that
it only requires a breaking pillow and
their own labor to make large re-
turns probable. They find at every
hand evidence that for spring wheat
growing the country has no su-
perior.
The present chapter of the evolu-
ton of the Canadian provinces was
opened when the Canadian Pacific
railway arranged to sell its land on
long time at low prices, and the
government set out to advertise the
crown lands in the most persistent
and intelligent manner any country
has ever been offered to the public.
The railroad wanted local traffic and
the government wanted taxes.
A farmer could buy a quarter of
the road and take homestead adj
joining. Residence on the land is
only six months in the year for
three years.
When this buying in Canada be-
gan, the areas of country in the
states where large tracts of first
class agricultural land could be had
had been pretty well taken up, and
this was large factor in the new
movement.
Change of soil, climate and the
introduction of other industries have
been pushing the spring wheat belt
to the northwest for half century,
until it has reached Canada by the
regular development of the neces-
sites of its culture, and promises to
reach the Peace river country, 500
miles beyond Edmonton, in the near
future. 1t is reported that country
will be surveyed and opened to set
tiers the present season and that a
railroad is already under construc-
ton IN that direction.
! We hear that our neighbors are
congratulating themselves on get
ting so many Yankees to help them
open their country. AS to this, as
we look at it, we are only loaning
them a fraction of the multitudes
that have come to US from the do
minion and we feel confident that
the contingent Minnesota shall sup
ply in the great industrial army
that is to still further develop the
industries of our northern neighbors
will be able to give a good account
of themselves.

The Honduras Nicaragua war will
go laundering down the ages as the
mule imbroglio. A party of Mica
ragua soldiers scouting along the
Honduran frontier crossed the line
one night and stole mule without
the loss of a man, the mule being
attacked in front and not allowed to
get it's rear batteries into play. The
incident was followed by diplomatic,
correspondence, in which the Mica
raguans were stigmatized as "cattle
lifters." This was resented and fol-
lowed by equally undiplomatic Ian
guage, and at a town meeting at
Amapalpa the Hondurans accused
the president of Nicaragua, Zelaya,
of violating his promises and foment-
ing strife. Zelaya, who is accused
of seeking a pretext for war, de-
manded that Honduras punish the
municipality of Amapalpa for de-
nouncing him, but the Honduras
government stood up for free speech
and declined. finally offering to sub
NIT the whole business to arbitra-
ton, which proposition was refused.
At last advices the war was raging
in the newspapers and everybody
kicking but the mule, who is stand
patter. Unless President Roosevelt
intervenes as a peacemaker, some
body is likely to get hurt before the
war is over.

BOSTON, April 25.-Attention has
been drawn to Hawaii in this vicinity
during the past few days by the promi-
nence which several of the Boston
newspapers have been giving to island
news. The visit of the Congressional
party is causing considerable interest
and the names of the New England
members of the party have been duly
chronicled in the daily press. Another
thing that has caused interest is the
steamer situation resulting from the
withdrawal of the Oceanic line. The
Transcript published a special article
on the subsidy situation on the Pacific
that has caused considerable talk and
may assist the friends of American
shipping.
There has been little news to record
concerning the Hawaiians residing in
New England. The story of the APP

Dean of Harvard College has already
been published in the Advertiser Mr..

a meeting was held yesterday at th'
rooms Of the Promotion Committee tt

tary of the Hawaii Promotion Commit
tee: Mr.. G.. w. Smith, Mr.. L. Tenney
Peck and Mr.. J. r. Gait.
Mr.. G.. w Smith took the chair.
THE TWO COMMITTEES.
A good deal of animated discussion
followed the assignment of duties to
the Territorial and Oahu committees,
the latter representing this island
alone. Many important considerations
were involved in this question, which
affected the entire plan of entertain
ment throughout.
An effort was made to get a clear
and definite idea as to the powers and
limitations of each committee in the
beginning to prevent confusion and
anding.
1t was reported that DR.. Cofer had
been seen as to permitting the Terri
torial committee to board the Buford
on her arrival in the harbor, and said
that the regulations would be waived,
as the occasion was out of the usual
order and the doctor on board would
also be instructed to give the ship
pre-pratique that she might dock at
the naval wharf without delay. The
Quartermaster, Captain Humphrey,
was also seen and agreed to facilitate
the work of landing, SO far as his duties
vfsors had pledged the services of the
band, Mr.. Ellis was seen and the sing
ing boys were also engaged.
Admiral Very had been authorized

TEACHERS HAVE
SALARIES FIXED
Back to SChedule---NeW LeQis-
lation PIeases---The
Lahalna School.

At the regular meeting of the Board
of Education yesterday over a hundred
teachers had their salaries placed on
the regular schedule basis. Most of
them were on a list that did not get
even the scale of pay with the 20 per
cent deducted which was arranged last
year, when the horizontal cut was made
in salaries to enable the available ap-
preparation to carry to the end of the
period
On the same committees recon-
mendations, action was taken as fol-
lows:
Mrs. Saiki was granted leave of
absence from May 1 to the end of the
school year.
Paroles were granted to Henry XII
koo Kamaka, Philip Keleikoa, Frank
Coldeira and August Medeiros.
Mrs. Gum was granted leave to oc-
eupy the Hopper residence.
Miss Adelaide Wards petition for
life certificate was postponed
MUSICAL FESTIVAL OFF.
There was a discussion on the ques-
tion of whether or not the usual
musical festival should be held this
year Kauluwela detention camp had
been investigated as to it's suitability
for the event if held.
In the end, however, it was voted to
drop the musical festival out for this
year.
UNIFORM LESSON PLAN.
Superintendent Babbitt informed the
meeting of his purpose of getting out
lesson plan books and sending them
to all the teachers. By this means the
inspectors would be able to see at a
glance how any school compared with
the others in amount and character
of the work. @,ff
Another new device the Superintend-
ent reported the adoption of, was a
release book for use in releasing chill
dren from one school to another. ItsI
usefulness in preventing deception was
obvious.
NEW LEGISLATION.
Mr. Babbitt had copies of the laws
relating to the department passed by
the late Legislature and explained their
provisions to the meeting.
One made it the duty of every depu-
ty sheriff to visit each school in his
district at least once a week and re-
eeive any complaints of truancy. So,
without any specific appropriation for
.ruancy officers, Mr.. Babbitt said, they
would be able to keep track pretty
fairly of truants.
