THE WILD WEST SHOWS PRO.
GRAM.

Honolulu, November 26:-The
arrangements for the big Wild
West show to take place in Homo
lulu on the 14th of next month
have now been fully completed and
preparations are being made rapid
ly for the coming event. An essen
tial feature of the show-wild cat
tle-has already been provided for
and the cattle for the second cow
boy tournament will be as lively
as anyone could desire. Wild cat
tie are being trapped as rapidly as
possible on the big cattle ranges
and corralled ready for shipment
to Honolulu at the right time.
One of the Cheyenne cowboys is
already on hand to compete in the
various events and entities are
pouring in by every mail from the
other islands. Everywhere on the
Big Island ranches groups of cow
boys can be seen at all times and
seasons discussing the forthcoming
contest and practise is being carried
on daily.
The first big cowboy contest
which occurred two years ago was
a tremendous success and there is
every reason to believe that the
coming show will be even greater.
The first was gotten up on the spur
of the moment and without pre-.
paration. The forthcoming show
is being very elaborately prepared
and will undoubtedly be a big fea-
ture for Honolulu.
Below follows the program as
now arranged but subject to change.
Only first prizes are now publish
ed; the second, third and fourth
prizes will be announced later;

MAY TIE up STEAMERS.

The engineers of the lnter-ls-
land steamers have prepared a
schedule of wages which they think
is the proper rating and have pre-
sented the same to the company.
1t is possible, from the whisperings
that reach outside of the engineer S
department, that a strike may fol-
low should the Inter-Island Com
pany refuse to accept the revised
schedule.
That there is more in the move
ment that appears on the surface
is made manifest by the statements
of some of the men that resigna-
tions of number of the engineers
have been received at the head
office of the company.
1t would seem that the new
schedule has heen in the hands of
the company for some time, but
any action on it has been delayed
until the men have come to the
conclusion that a move either for
acceptance or rejection OF the
schedule must be made and made
in short order.
Engineers not holding U. S.
licenses, no matter how proficient
they may be in the art of engineer
ing, cannot serve on these Island
steamers.
The company has kept the mat
ter of the new schedule very quiet
in hopes of arriving at some settle
ment of the trouble and avoiding a
complication of matters, but it
seems that the men have become
little tired of waiting. The matter
has now been brought to climax
by the engineers demanding an ac-
ceptance of the schedule as present
ed, or they will q, it.
Passengers returning from Homo.
lulu on the Kinau state that the
schedule of wages demanded is
$175 per month for the chiet en-
gineer, $3.50 per month for the first
assistants and 1920 per month for
the second assistant engineers.
1t was the understanding that
all of the engineers have resigned
and unless their demands are COM
piled with they will all refuse to
work after Saturday OF this week.

Arkansas Prosperous in 1906.

The entire state of Arkansas en- joyed a prosperous year in 1906 and the outlook is bright for 1901 The Mercantile Agency of R. G. Dun X Co, whose branch office in Little Rock is in touch with all parts of the state, forwarded it's annual review of trade conditions in Little Rock and Arkan- sas to the home office yesterday. The report will be published in Dun's Re view. The following is an extract from the report:
 Trade conditions for the year of 1906 in Little Rock and throughout the state of Arkansas show a pros porous condition, and the state to have kept pace with the general develop ment of the country.
 "The volume of trade has been greater than ever before. More new houses were established, more new mills put in operation, more farming lands cleared and more coal mined and more lumber cut than ever before in the history of the state

The report of State Treasurer Tip ton for the quarter ending December 31, shows that there was sl90,S46.14 in the general revenue fund at the beginning cS business, January l, 1907. This is about $150,000 short of the amount in the general revenue fund January 1. 1905, just few days be- fore the opening of the last General Assembly, On January 1, 1905, there was in tine general revenue fund S361.- 433.44. The expenses of running the state government with the legislature in session was such two years ago that State Auditor Moore was com pelled to send out circular letters to sheriffs over the state asking them to pay in their part of collections to the state prior to making their settle ments with the county court In July. Had he not done this, there would not have been sufficient funds in the general revenue fund at the close of the legislature to pay salaries of state officials. With but sl90,Si6.l4 h the general revenue fund at this time, Auditor Moore is of the opinion that unless something is done before June I, there will be deficit of more than $10o,o00 in the general revenue fund.
 On January l, 1916, there was sl70,- 39S21 in the general revenue fund. With no legislature during the year the general revenue tued luae 90, 1906, was about sl2,000.

FARMERS, JOURNAL JoTTiNes.

No man can hold cotton who has nothing but cotton to hold. Tenants on farms, as a rule, have nothing but cotton. and it is not really theirs at gathering time It Is likely that more than half the cotton in the south is made by tenant labor. It is the dis tressed' cotton we hear about. This brings us face to face with landlord ism and tenantry, and land monopoly and speculation.
 Everybody is always ready to speak out in general terms against specu- lation in the necessaries of life, but few are talking out against land specu- lation. Yet land is the one great prime necessary of all life.
 We hope to see the day when the man who would buy land for the sole purpose of selling it again for more than he gave for it will be frowned upon as the arch enemy of the most sacred interests of human beings.
 Leave liquor alone. It enriches your capitalist masters and renders you more easy prey for them A m.nd dulled by liquor cannot put up much of a struggle for liberty.-Ap, peal to Reason.

WATSON AND THE UNION.

In his "Jefersonian" Dec. 20 Tom Watson gives his ideas of the Farm. CTS Union and the policy he will pur- sue in regard to it in the following language.
 Tn my judgment the Farmers Un. ion promises to be the most power- ful and beneficial organization of the agricultural producers that we have had since Dr. Macune and Lon Liv. ingston sold out the Farmers Ali. ance.
 From the outside will do all that is possible to aid the Farmers Union. It is better for the order that I do not join. it.
 "lf should become a member of the Union, the peanut politicians and the Southern Railroad editors would howl piteously.
 With one accord, the noble. unself. ish friends @ of the farmer would cry out:
 Watson wants office, He will lead the Farmers Union into politics!'
 Thus. the leaders of the Union might be put on the defensive, and the growth of the order checked This must not happen, l would not, for any consideration embarrass my loyal friends. c. s. Barrett and R. F. Duck worth. st

gressive. and Little Rock Fort Smith Pine Bluff and Newport. all have GOV cred new territory and hold it secure. ly.
 The bank clearances of Little Rock have increased s10,O00,000 over 1905 Mercantile inquiries have been great CT than ever before, which indicates a great increase in the volume Of business.
 The records show that the number of failures in Arkansas for 1905 were 352, against 351 for 1906. And while the failures are nearly the same. the number of new traders, manufacturers and other commercial enterprises have been growing, and, taking these into consideration. is shows a relative decrease of commercial disasters. Of these failures, 5 occurred in Little Rock and 15 in Argenta. Most of these failures were small and unim. portant.
 Local records show that there were 346 new concerns that went into business in Little Rock during the year 1906. and only 302 concerns discontinued during that time, which shows a healthy increase and general activity.
 "Argenta shows S2 new concerns which went into business in that city and 6S discontinuances.
 During the year substantial head way has been made toward the up building of Little Rock in many ways. One of the handsomest hotels in the Southwest has been built. The first modern steel skyscraper has begun erection. The new Union station is now In the course of erection. and, when finished, will be one of the fin est in the South.
 The state capitol building is now approaching completion and when fin ished will compare faYorably with any in the country. The commanding site of the new capitol adds greatly to the beauty of the city, and pre- sents an imposing appearance.
 Last. but not least, a survey has already been made for an interurban electric railroad, and the financing of the enterprise has been practically completed on terms and condition usual for enterprises of such import. ance and magnitude.
 "A new jobbng district has been established in the lower end of East Markham street. and handsome build ings have been erected with spacious and modern up-te=date equipments.
 Tn the vicinity of this district new and up-to-date cold storage plants have been built, with modern equipments. which greatly facilitate trade in tropi' cal fruits and perishable merchandise. New storage houses are being built for the receiving and forwarding of merchandise, grain and other eommo- dities
 Everything points to large volume of business for t907."

Another standard-guage railroad IS to be built into the town of Searcy, thus giving it two lines The new road is the Doniphan, kensett and Searcy, which is being built by the Doniphan Lumber Company. The road originates at Doniphan, town that has been laid out by the lumber company on Red River, about mile and half northwest of Kensett. The road is already in operation from Doni- phan to Kensett, and will be built from Kensett to Searcy, distance of about five miles. making the entire length of the line about six and a half miles.
 The dump has already been thrown up and work on the building of the line from Kensett to Searcy will be started within the next thirty days. Terminals for the line at Searcy have already been selected.

Cooperation, education and union of effort along the line of sensible packing of cotton is one of the es- sential things that ought to engage the attention of all the Unions this year. Several years ago a movement was put on foot to introduce the use of heavy cotton wrapping for cotton bales. It was proposed to use the cheap and dirty grades of cotton for this purpose. Considerable of this new packing was used fos year or two, but it seems that the matter has been dropped. There is no reason for using any other sort of packing, because this sort of stuff is right at hand in the cotton field, and after the coarse cotton hagging has been used as a wrapper for the bale. 1t is available for packing the finished cloth at the mill Give this matter some attention at your meetings, and get it into prac- ticable shape and help the market for your cotton,
