COLLECTING GARBAGE
4 STEP TO SUCCESS

SEATTLE, August 12.-Pride and
professional ethics have prevented
many men from making fortunes, but
when the Alaska Yukon-Paci Expo
sition, which will be held at Seattle
in 1909, demonstrates how many of the
fortunes of Alaska and Yukon have
been made, the public will see that the
rules that are good for the southland
hardly apply to the land of the Mid
night Sun.
For instance there is now not hun
dred miles from Seattle an American
lawyer who made seventy-five thou
sand dollars in Dawson in the early
days by means that were unprofes-
sional indeed. He was a good lawyer,
but he did not seem to get any prac-
tise, and it soon came to a matter
of guessing from where the next meal
should come. So he decided to go
north.
Thinking he might have to DO things
or winch ne would not care to be re-
minded afterward he changed his
name on going north. On reaching
Dawson he looked around and soon
located a crying need.
At that time Dawson had no gar
bage system. The town was growing
by leaps and bounds, and garbage was
a matter that had to be attended to
at once. On credit he hired a couple
of teams and drivers. and started a
daily collection of refuse, garbage. etc.
In a few weeks he had every house.
store and building in town on his list
Of patrons and in a couple of months
more his income had crept up to
princely sum. For two years he con-
tinued his work, and then he sold out

TALLY CARD
ON TEACHERS
Education Department Prepares
a Record System to Keep
Tab on PedagOgues.

In connection with the system of rec
ord keeping of the DEPARTMENT of Public
instruction, another record file is to be
started whereby the work of every
teacher as it is being done will be as
carefully tabulated as is their record
of past work. With each visit of a
Normal inspector a detailed report will
be made out and sent in to the depart
ment, a report covering every detail Of
the school work, including the appear
ance of the teacher, the discipline he
or she is keeping, the neatness of the
school room and the grounds and the
condition of the atmosphere of the room.
Under the different headings the in
spector will classify the conditions as
excellent, good, fair and poor, there
being three degrees of each provided
for, and bad, one degree only. The
headings under which judgment viii be
made are:
Rooms: Grade, enrolment, attend
ance, neatness and school atmosphere.
Discipline.
Personal appearance of teacher and
pupils.
Pupils attainments: Music, nature
study, geography, numbers, reading,
spoken English, story work, writing.
Requirements: Term outline, lesson
plan, list of words and forms corrected.
Teachers average.
Number of pupils in cooking, lace,
manual, sewing and weaving.
Special report en- agriculture, calls
themes, general supervision and manual
work.
Special report on teacher.
This comprehensive report viii be
sent in at once to the department, fled
and kept.
In addition to the tabulated part of
the reports is an attached coupon ad-
dressed to the school agent, wherein
can be made out by the inspector a list
of the necessary furnishings for the
school, to be signed by the inspector
and the principal on the spot and des-
patched to the agent. In this way the
school supplies will be furnished the
schools more expeditiously than has
been the case and with less necessity
of red tape.

COMMENT On
LOCAL CONDITIONS

The Journal of Hanford, California,
has the following editorial comment on
the condition of these islands, which
is of some interest to local people:
Sanford B. Dole, now United States
judge and formerly Governor of the
Territory of Hawaii, says that unless
something is done at once the islands
can not develop into an American com
munity. 1t is estimated that the white
population of the islands has decreased
more than 25 per cent since the last
census, while the Asiatic population
has much increased, especially the pop
ulation of the nonlaboring class of Jap
anese. The city of Honolulu is feeling
the competition of the "small st6re'
Japs and Chinese to such an extent
that white stores are suffering severely.
In a statement discussing the continued
departure of whites, Judge Dole de-
elares that Hawaii Unjust do some
thing" or else she will be Asiatic be-
yond recall. GA great amount of bust
ness will always be done," he said,
"and there will be prosperous Homo
lulu. But it will not be a community
as high in the scale of education, IN
benevOlence, in culture as we hope for.
1t will be less an American community
than we hope for and on a lower Amer.
lean plane than we desire.'' Dole
thinks that the solution is liberal land
policy to attract American and other
white settlers. Mr. Dole holds the same
opinion that every American has who
goes to the islands. The United States
purchased the Hawaiian islands at
vast expense and the subjects of the
mikado are taking over the country.
This government s colonial policy is
turning out about as was to be expected.
but that is no reason why this country
should sit idly by and let the little
brown men take what the Americans
have paid for. The Jap is becoming a
very serious problem for America in
more ways than one.

DIRTY HAT WORTH SAVING.

STOCKTON, Cal, August 5.-When
the steamer Weber, bound for San
Francisco, reached a point in the San
Joaquin river where currents and tides
meet and big whirlpool is formed,
John Bradin, who was a passenger, had
his dirty hat blown overheard
Bradin was standing on the upper
passenger deck, sixteen feet above wa
ter. Without even removing his coat
Bradin leaped head foremost overheard
and with the ease of a champion swim
mer swan through the dangerous swirl.
Catching the derby in his teeth, he
swan ashore. The steamer poked its
nose into the bank hundred yards
lower down and waited for the passen-
ger. AS Bradin climbed aboard, drip
ping wet, the other passengers, who
had recovered from their establishment,
began to chide him.
"You re a blamed fool for risking
your life just to save a So hat" said
one.
Bradin answered by turning down the
inside band of his hat, displaying over
$4,000 in greenbacks of large denomina-
tion.

POLO BENEFIT
At SEASIDE HOTEL

The masquerade ball at the Seaside
hotel on the evening of September third
promises to be one of the largest and
most unique affairs of the kind ever
held in Honolulu. The Polo Association
of the Islands has decided to send a
team of four men, with twenty of the
best ponies from all of the islands, to
compete in the great Western Polo
championship in California next winter.
This trip will be of great benefit to the
islands as whole through advertise
ment and promotion, but will of course
be very expensive. Manager Church of
the Seaside has offered the free use of
the hotel and grounds to the polo men
and the entire receipts from the sale of
tickets will be turned over to them as
a starter of an expense fund.
The ball promises to be quite unique
in many ways. There viii be confetti
booths and, if the proper arrangements
can be made, booths where geisha dam
cling and japanese wrestling will de-
light and amuse the merry maskers.
The entire grounds will be lighted for
the occasion, and the Hawaiian band
will play in the midst of the palm grove.
The feet will be in port at the time,
so there is every prospect that the first
masquerade at the Seaside will be most
spectacular and dramatic. No one will
be permitted anywhere on the grounds
unless they have tickets of admission,
which can be obtained of Wall, Nichols
Co., the Seaside hotel or any OF the
firms in town who have posters of the
ball in the windows. Here is an oppor-
tunity to help out the All Hawaii polo
team and at the same time have an ex-
ceedingly good time yourselves, and
it is expected that the public will gen
erously respond.
