CHOLERA FROM Japan

Kanelau. Hawaiian living in one
of the tenement houses on River
street between Kukui and Vineyard,
died last night of cholera.
The case was discovered late yes
terday afternoon. The man died
shortly after midnight. This morn
ing his wife was taken sick. and the
physicians believe that she also has
the disease.
River street between Kukui and
Vineyard streets has been quaran-
tined and nobody Is allowed to enter
,r leave the houses in the quaran-
tined district. The entire FfOrCc Of
inspectors of the Board OF Health,
and a large proportion of the police
force are on guard in the vicinity,
land energetic measures are being Ia
, ken to prevent the spread of the dis
ease. Bathing in Nuuanu stream Is
prohibited and efforts are being made
to prevent the eating OF fish caught
IA the bay.
DR.. WaysOn, of the Board of
Health, and President Pinkham are
of the opinion that the disease has
been brought to Honolulu by either
some tramp Japanese steamer or one
Ci the transports coming from the
Orient. Their theory is that some of
these vessels have dumped into the
harbor refuse containing cholera
| 50 rms, and that these have been TAX
on into the bodies of fish, which were
|afterward caught and eaten raw as
food. They believe that Kanelau ate
contaminated raw fish and thus con-
uaCted the disease.
In support of this theory President
| pinkham shows the reports Of health
conditions at the Japanese ports dur
ing the past three months. Cholera
has been very prevalent at Kobe and
Yokohama, though the last reports
show a decided decrease in the num-
Der of cases at those ports.
The report which arrived here De-
tober II showed 1S9 cases of cholera
It Kobe, with 60 deaths, and II cases
with - deaths at Yokohama. The
IICport of October - showed ~ cas-
les and 81 deaths at Kobe and 20
cases with u deaths at Yokohama.
| The next report, received October
tn, showed a diminution of the cpl
demic. Kobe had SO cases with 81
deaths and Yokohama IS cases and

Telephones for the Farm

THE next stepin the development of the wire
L fence question was to use it for farm tee-
phone purposes. The upper strand of the Wire
fence was first used in the State of Washington
as a telephone wire, and since then it has been
employed for this purpose in half dozen more
States Millions of acres of lanG are fenced in
with the wire fence, and sections of the country
can thus be tapped by the telephone companies
at little expense. BY tapping the fence line
each farm house along a route can be connected
without putting up poles and special wires.
These wire fence lines prove more suitable in
the wilderness and prairie districts than special
wires strung from high poles. They are not so
liable to destruction by heavy wind storms and
snow and ice. They are drawn tight, and are
strung posts stationed every fifteen to
twenty feet.
The tapping of the telephone wire fences is
much easier, however, than the regular wires
strung on tall poles. The rural telephone COM
panies soon found that many farmers were
using the wires without paying for the service.
Even portable telephone outfits were in some
cases used. If the farmer wished to telephone
he would carry his small transmitter and re-
ceiver to the nearest fence, make a temporary
connection, and call up central. When through

Prevent a Lumber Famine

PUT primarily the fence question is one of
- peace and prosperity The old wooden
fences, made of rails ten to fifteen feet in length
were picturesque features of farm life a decade
or two ago; but the scarcity of wood makes this
impossible to-day. At the present rate of con-
struction of fences, it is estimated that to build
them all of wood would require nearly forty
per cent. of the total lumber output. In the
course of dozen years there would be a lurn-
Der famine.
When the wire fence was first introduced,
farmers did not take kindly to it, neither did
the animals. A pugnacious bull found little
difficulty in butting his way through the fence,
swapping the soft iron Wire like Irvine. The
barbed wire fence was then introduced, and
the vicious bull which ran up against it re-
ceived a punishment that was not soon for
gotten. But the barbed wire fence had its
disadvantage. Valuable booded stock were
injured so severely by the barbs that breeders
grew alarmed. and they discarded the new in
vention, going back to the old rail fence.
Then came the woven steel wire fence, made
so strong and durable that the most vicious
bull could not butt it down, and without the
barbs it was not menace to domestic stock.
The woven steel wire fence was made in many
different sizes and strengths, and farmers
could obtain just what they needed for any
particular case. The modern boom in wire
fence then began, and it has steadily advanced,
until to-day it represents one of the dozen
leading industries of the country.

Used for Game Preserves

THE American wire fence has become es-
sential to the breeders of fancy poultry,
game birds, pheasants, and other domestic
and wild birds Game preserves are fenced in
by woven wire fences to the height of fifteen
and twenty feet. This keeps out dogs and
prowling animals and prevents the fowls from
flying outside of the preserve. Upward of ten
thousand miles of woven Wire fence have
been used for game preserves, and without
this invention the preservation of some of the
choicest domestic and wild fowls would be
impossible.
a barbed wire, closely woven high fence is
about the hardest thing for a poacher to get
through ever invented. He may be able to
scale stone wall but he cannot creep through
a wire fence of this character, and as for climb
ing over it, the risk to his life is too great
When the first game preserve was fenced in by
a barbed wire fence to keep out poachers as
well as dogs and stray wild animals, it trapped
three persistent lawbreakers. The first tried
to climb the woven fence and was caught near
the top so that he could not extricate himself
His body was found frozen to death two DAYS
later, dangling from the top strand of the
fence. The second managed to climb over,
but fell from the top and fractured leg He
was picked up unconscious the following day
by the Waterman. The third escaped but
with such tattered and torn clothes and dozen
bad scratches on his body that he decided
never to repeat the operation.
