Mysterious Mir Padam.

cabegram from India recently an nounced that a native cartographer had been murdered by tribesmen while attempting to penetrate in disguise to Mir Padam. This Miri Padam Is, now that the secrets of Lassa have been laid bare, given first place as the most inaccessible inhabited spot on the face of the globe. Up to now no civilized traveller, either European or Asiatic, has ever succeeded in setting foot in. side this mysterious mountain city Mir Fadam is barely two days march from the frontier of Assam, whither its people come periodically in order to trade. But they, on their part, will allow no corresponding privileges Fierce and untamable, owing no allegi. ance to any government, their idea is to kill offhand any stranger presuming to approach anywhere near their stronghold.

BANK DEPOSITS GROWING

Ensley, March 30.- -(Special)-An idea of the remarkable growth and develop ment of the city of Ensley can be readily obtained by comparison of the license collections for the first quarter of the year 1906 with those for the same period of 1907 in the office of City Treasurer and Tax Collector ". H. Davis. The license taxes collected during the first period above mentioned amounts to a total of $17. 775; during the second, or the first quarter of 1907, they amounted to s21, ,293, an increase of S351S. As practically no licenses have been raised during that period this amount represents q very substantial increase in various kinds of business enterprises, the promoters of which realize the importance of Ensey as a business center and have established themselves accordingly.
 The large Increase in the number of building permits issued during the month of March, 1907 over the number Issued for the same month last year is also a safe criterion by which to judge the rapid growth of the city during the past twelve months. In March, 1907, the month Just closed, thirty-nine permits were issued
 
 to be constructed hereunder representing valuation of $57,O50 During March, 1906, only sixteen permits were issued, repre- senting less than half the above valua- tion.
 The population of the city Is increasing probably more rapidly in proportion than its growth in material way. Large num- bers of people, men with families, to be- gin life anew, young men to begin the battle of life, realizing the present im- portance of Ensley and her brilliant flu ture, are coming from all parts of the country. They are building homes and adding much to the wealth and good citi- zenshp of the city.
 There is q class which, however nec- essary 1t may be from tHe standpoint of labor, Is undesirable from the standpoint of good citizenship. It is undoubtedly necessary for the corporations to import large numbers of foreigners In order suc- cessfully to operate their various manu- featuring plants in the city, and they cannot be blamed for acting in self-de- fenSe, so to speak,

Deposits In Enslev Bank.

According to the statement recently is sued, the deposits In the Bank of Ensley
 have reached the enormous total of s645,- S51 .69, practically double the deposits two
 years ago. There can be no surer indi- cation of Ensley's prosperity than this fact. The business of the bank has in creased to such an extent recently that it's present quarters are entirely too small to enable the general public and the bank officials to transact the growing volume of business with that despatch and celer- fty so necessary in these busy times.

DR.. LLOYD IS
FORCED AWAY

The Rev. DIR. A. S. Lloyd and the
Enquiries were at once made as to the
possibility of obtaining passage on the
America Maru or the Siberia, but the
gentlemen were advised that it was
most unlikely that they would be able
to leave on either steamer. It was
impossible for DR.. Lloyd to run the risk
of not being able to leave by July 8,
ct the latest, and most reluctantly he
gave up the idea of spending two weeks
in Honolulu.
However, it was arranged that the
Rev. Rees f Alsop and Mrs. Alsop
should remain over. DR.. Alsop is a
member of the Board of Missions of
the Episcopal Church and was de-
puted to go with DR.. Lloyd around the
world to see the missions of the
church. He will take Dr. Lloyd's place
in delivering sermons and addresses as
announced. He will preach at st. An
drews cathedral on Sunday morning,
address the children at $3.50 .. m. at
the united Sunday school service at the
cathedral, and make the address on
Sunday night. Wherever DR.. Lloyd's
name appears on the printed program
DR.. Alsop's name will be substituted
DR.. Alsop until recently has been
rector of St. AIMS church, Brooklyn,
New York, and is one of the most
prominent men in the Episcopal
church.
Bishop McKim of Toxic will come on
the Siberia, but whether he will be able
to stay over will depend on the like
lihood of his being able to get away.

Honolulu, June 20. 1907.
Chairman and Members of the Hawaii
Promotion Committee.
Dear Sirs: By the last mail we re-
ceived word that our order for a series
of moving picture films to be shown
at Los Angeles had been executed and
by this time the pictures should be on
view.
Mr.. Bonine writes from Orange, New
Jersey, under date of June 5th, that
the Edison people report that the Ha-
waiian films are making a great hit
wherever exhibited. A number of full
sets of the films have been recently
shipped tQsLondon and Berlin.
Mr.. BONNIE states that he hopes to
reach Honolulu in July or August with
a series of moving pictures and special
lantern slides such as, in his opinion,
will be enjoyed by every one in the
Islands. Among other plans he has in
view to further illustrate the Islands,
is to show a series of consecutive pic
lures of trips to Haleak ala, Kilauea
and other points of interest about the
Islands. To make the thing real spe-
cial party could be made up showing
barking at Honolulu. landing at Kahu-
lui and then a series of incidental
scenes as getting mules and horses in
readiness for the trip, bits of scenery
en- route, etc. showing the same people
throughout, the party to include wo-
men and children in order to show that
the trip is not hazardous or difficult
one.
A letter from the Secretary of the
National Educational Association says
that arrangements have been complet-
ed for a couple of lectures on Hawaii
to be given at Los Angeles during the
time of the convention which will be
advertised as part of the weeks en-
tertainment.
Regarding the excursion from South
ern California, the last information is
to the effect that the Oceanic Steam
ship Company now asks thirty-five
thousand {S35.000) dollars. for a thirty
day trip by the Sierra from San Fran
cisco to San Pedro or san Diego
thence to Hilo, Hilo to Honolulu, back
to Southern California then to San
Francisco. The price asked at first
was twenty-six thousand (S26,000) dol
lars, which was quickly advanced to
thirty thousand (s30O00) dollars This
hSuhS was dSfSeu 70 ny the parties III
terested but before an agreement had
been signed, the charter was again ad-
vaneed this time to thirty-five thou
sand (s35.000) dollars. which I am
afraid it is going to be difficult tc
secure and as it is now reported that
the Alameda will be taken off the local
run in July for necessary repairs, she
viii probably be replaced by the Sierra
and until the Alameda is again ready
for sea, there is little or no likelihood
of the excursion being pulled off.
Our agent at Los Angeles, Mr.
Childs, says that it would be a com
paratively easy matter to fill the boat
the interest in the trip is so general.
The chairman of the San Diego
Chamber of Commerce Excursion
Committee writes me that at least

fifty people would go on the excursion
from San Diego and Coronado.
As a direct result of this special ef-
fort, we have, at any rate, received
a great deal of valuable advertising
throughout Southern California which
is bound to bring results.
A letter from Mr.. L. A. Nadeau, di-
rector general of the A1aska-Yukon
Exposition, Indicates that December is
the month selected for the excursion
from Seattle.
The members of the leading clubs of
Seattle are apparently taking consid-
cradle interest in Hawaii, letters from
the secretaries of three. to hand by
last mall convey their thanks for
pamphlets and papers received and
ask to be continued on our mailing list.
The special sets of twenty of the
most attractive, eolored fish plates,
appearing in Volume Is of the Annual
Bulletin of the United States Fish Com
missioners report for 1903, have at
last been shipped from New York and
the public will soon have an oppcr-
tunity to secure these beautiful pic
lures at small cost from the Homo
lulu Rapid Transit and Land Company
for wnnm they were ordered through
the committee.
The last time folder of the San
Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake
Railway, gives a half page to Hawaii,
the favor being granted in response
to our request.
