ROOSEVELT WILL
SUCCEED HIMSELF

Senator P. L. Flanagan, National Re-
publican Committeeman for the State
of Nevada, is an around the world
traveller by the Manchuria. He went
to Carlsbad for his health and decided
to come home this way. He expects to
return here with his family about De-
eember first and remain here till April
first. Senator Flanagan was instru-
mental IN electing a Republican legis-
lature in Nevada last year, which elect
ed Senator Nixon to the United States
Senate, so that Senator Flanagan may
be considered as knowing something
of tie political trend in his state.
Roosevelt will be the next Presi-
Dental candidate of his party" he
said ''The convention will be STAN
peded to him. OF course, there will
be the third term cry against him, but
without justification. He has been
nominated and elected to the office of
President but once. There is the con-
struetiOn of the Panama canal and the
eurbing of the trusts which are pecu-
liarly his work to do, and the people
believe that he alone can carry out.
Outside of Hartman and influences of
that kind the people are unanimously
for him, and he will be triumphantly
nominated and elected.
"We, in Nevada and the west have
especial reason to be for him. He is
the first President who has realized
that there was part of the country
west of the Rocky mountains. He was
the first to recommend an appropriation
for the reclamation of arid lands. The
first ten millions for this purpose have
been spent, and opportunity for thou
sands of men has been created. There
are no richer mineral deposits any
where than there are in Nevada. Think
of ore yielding 100000 in gold to the
toni And yet in spite of this mineral
wealth the backbone Of Nevada'5 pros
perity is her reclaimed lands. Irriga-
ton and mineral development are the
matters of great promise for the fu-
ture.

/ am in love with your country. / be
Iieye Hawaii will become the great
winter resort for the American tour
ist. What 1 think of it is shown by
the fact that am going now to bring
my family here for the winter"
Senator Flanagan is interested in
sheep and cattle, and organized the
Nevada Meat Company, one Of Che
big enterprises Of the state. He is
a hustling wide-awake man and good
comrade.

WEATHER
TACKLES NOEAU

A taste of wicked weather was had
by the little racer-steamship Noeau,
Captain Mitchell, of the Inter-Island
Steam Navigation Company, on the
Big Island run from which she return
ed to this port at 1926 o'clock yes
terday morning. She lost a boat con-
tanning forty bags of fertilizer while
endeavoring to land the goods at Ho-
nokaa and she was unable for a tina
to land freight at Mahukona.
On the outward trip to Hawaii the
Noeau steamed under lowering clouds
with light airs from the northeast.
She made Mahukona shortly before 10
o'clock in the morning of Wednesday
last, October 2. She Immediately
started the work of getting freight
ashore and this had to be done by
landing in the ordinary tiresome man
ner, since the derrick was in process
of being replaced by a new derrick.
So high was the wind at this time,
and so rough was the water, that the
small steamer was obliged to quit the
unloading job, and at 2:34 o'clock in
the afternoon of Wednesday she left
Mahukona for Kukuihaele, where she
arrived at 5:37 that evening. Here she
put the mail ashore, and thirty min
utes later left for Honokaa. where she
arrived on Thursday morning at 5:25,
having stopped en- route at Waipio.
At Honokaa the Noeau managed to
discharge freight, under difficulties on
account of the bad weather, until 4
O'Clock in the afternoon, at which time
the derrick carried away, from what
cause does not appear to be known.
One Of the Noeau's strong whales
boats, laden with forty bags Of fer
tilizer. being taken from the vessel
to land. was seized by the high seas
and dashed against the cliff and
splintered. its freight being lost No
body was injured in the accident.
On Friday the Noeau returned to
Kukuihaele and succeeded in getting
all the freight for that point ashore,
in spite Of heavy swell.
Members Of the crew OF the Noeau
seem to think that there will be rough
weather on the Noeau's beat this win
ter, since the signs are showing early.
