FIRST RUN
ON new
SCHEDULE
SPLENDID TINE OF 5 DAYS AND
II HOURS-14 PASSENGERS AND
us TONS OF FREIGHT.

In the splendid time of days, II
hours the Oceanic S. S. Sierra, Captain
Houdette, made her initial run on the
new local schedule, arriving early this
morning from San Francisco and dock
ing at the Oceanic wharf at 7:45
o'clock.
She could have made port about mid
night, but since there was no advan-
tage to be gained thereby, she slowed
down so as to make her arrival at day
light. Ideal weather was enjoyed
throughout. But few passengers and
little freight were brought on this first
trip under the new arrangement of
making the Sierra a local boat like the
Alameda. There was little time for it
to be known that the Sierra was going
to take the Honolulu run and not much
opportunity for shippers and travellers
to make arrangements.
There were twelve cabin and two
Storage passengers and us tons of
freight.
The Sierra sailed from San Francis
co on April 30 at 1923 p. m She will
stay in this port until Saturday next
at II a. m, when she sails for San
Francisco.
Her cargo includes apples automo-
biles, shoes, barley, bicycles. building
material, band instruments, beer, cash
registers, books, cigars, coffee, carriage
material, condensed milk, drugs, dry
goods, electrical goods, furniture, gro
ceries. gas generators, hardware, hard
wood iron, locomotive parts, white lead,
lemons, matches, machinery, old news
papers, lard, oil, cylinder oil, oars,
oranges, onions, pianolas, potatoes,
putty, sewer pipe, wrapping paper, rub
Der goods, refrigerated goods, sewing
machines, stationery, sporting goods,
tin plate drain tiles, typewriters, to-
bacco, varnish, wines, wire netting,
wall paper, window glass, yellow metal.

Considerable extra work has been add
ed to the County Clerks offices by the
recent act Of the Legislature provid-
ing for the registration of all fire.
arms and ammunition owned by in
dividuals and firms. The law is al
ready in force and requires that all
firearms and ammunition of every des-
cription in the possession of any per-
son or firm shall be registered with the
clerk within forty days. Blanks for
the purpose have been prepared and
already a large number of persons have
complied with the law In the case
of some of the larger firms dealing in
sporting goods, the law involves con-
siderable work inasmuch as all the
arms must be fully described, and the
certificates made out in duplicate.
Inasmuch as there is penalty of a
fine to the amount of $500 for failure
to comply with the law, it will scarcely
be profitable to anyone to neglect tc
attend to the matter, even if their
armament does not amount to more thar

1t is much to say all that truthfully
OF any country, big or little, but it
can all be said of the Isthmus of Pa
mama.
Moreover, it is destined to be a
better, buster if not bigger isthmus

in the past.
Canal Zone Not All of It.
So exclusively has public attention
been rivited upon that little strip Of
territory ten miles wide, called the
canal zone, that the rest of Panama
is as unknown as Patagonia, and yet
it is by no means uninteresting. 1t
is divided into the provinces of Colon,
Panama, Darien, Chiriqui and Vera
qua, and it is said that the inhabi-
tants of the two last named provinces
are far better specimens of the native
Panamanian than many of those one
meets in the two large cities of the
canal provinces, Panama and Colon.

ed up many wonderful curios which
make the antiquarians' eyes shine,
and the adventures mouths water,
for many of those buried treasures
were of pure gold.
Some Indians, many years ago, were
digging a drain (the first and last, it
would seem, they ever troubled them
selves about when, what was their
amazement to spade up an image OF
solid gold. This whetted their appe'
tites for treasure, If not their curio'
sity, and they speedily left off drain
digging for the far more exciting and
profitable occupation of grave dig
ging, if we may call it so, for this
image and other gold ornaments
which were speedily unearthed, were
found to be in the ancient graves Of
a forgotten race that had left no Other
records behind them.
The graves in these ancient GENE
teries were located by tapping on the
earth as the native walked along. The
welcome, hollow sound, which some
times responded to the tap of his
stick, told him that a grave was be
meath his feet. Opening it, he woul'
find that the grave had been line'
with pieces of stone, and then cross
pieces of stone laid on them.
Things Found in These Graves.
All sorts of things were found II
these graves; stone and pottery i'm
plements, pieces of pure gold, cope
and bone ornaments, and ornament
of gold gilt, species of pinchbeck
which the natives call tumbago.'

WAS A GREAT SUCCESS.

The affair at Haleiwa last Saturday
night vas such great success that
the people are impatient for another
dance. They can be given here only
once a month because the moon re-
solutely declines to break a long es-
tablished custom of getting full oftener.
But there is pleasure at Haleiwa at
any time in the month. The climate
is the sort that keeps one ever ready
for a walk, a game of tennis or a
refund of the golf links The surround
ing country is worth while to tourist
and kamaaina alike and after ride
or a drive there Is the plunge to look
forward to. We would be pleased to

HOW LISHMAN
MET HIS ACCIDENT
WAS PACING THE DECK FOR EX-
ERCIsE WHEN HE TRIPPED AND
FELI-sEVERELY INJURED.

The Chronicle Of April p, says:
One sad incident married the pleasure
of band of Mystic Shriners, eighty
two strong, who arrived on the Siberia
yesterday from Honolulu, en- route to
the Imperial Council to be held at Los
Angeles next month.
Last Friday night Lishman was pac-
ing the deck of the Siberia for exer-
else, when the tripped and fell over
the dead line which separates the steer
age from the cabin quarters. His head
struck the hard deck of the big steam
er with such force as to render him
unconscious. DR. Cooper, a member of
the delegation, attended the unfortu-
nate Shriner, and after an examination
found that he had sustained concussion
Of the brain. A high fever resulted
and Lishman became delirious.
He is 80 years of age only and very
prominent both in the Knights Templar
and the Mystic Shrine. He is treas
urer of the Honolulu Iron Works and
one of the best baseball players and
oarsmen in the islands, having won
numerous prizes.
The Honolulu delegation will remain
in San Francisco a few days before
proceeding to the southern city. The
Shriners during the voyage entertained
their fellow-passengers with drills.
The delegates wore yellow garlands
about their hat bands and badges bear
ing the legend: aloha, Honolulu"

0ANAMAS OIL AIM
TO DISTINCTION
SOMETHING ABOUT PAST, PRESENT THAT RE
PUBLIC-ITS STRATEGIC SMALL E COUNTRY
OCCUPIES PLACE IN THE EYE OF THE WORLD
(By Rev. Francis E. clark, D. D., LIDO

A prominent American official is
reported to have brought greetings,
when he came to Panama, from "the
largest republic in the world to the
smallest republic in the world" Then
he smoothed over the wounded dignity
OF the Panamanians by explaining that
tho small in population, Panama was
great in possibilities, and great in
strategic Importance, and thus saved
and salved their sensitive feelings.
Panama is certainly not large geo.
graphically, for it stretches only from
Colombia on the one side to Costa
RIGA on the other and is a narrow,
contorted ribbon of land, that seems
to serve principally to connect North
and South America, and to afford a
tremendous barrier to the navies of
the world, compelling them to sail TO-
600 miles to get around to a spot less
than fifty miles away as the crow
lies. To travel 20 miles south and
north to make one mile to the east
has been the fate hitherto of travlers
going around the Horn, and, strange to
say, when they got to Panama, after
sailing around South America from
Colon, they found themselves east of
the point from which they started,
for it is an actual fact that Panama on
the Pacific coast is east of Colon, on
the Atlantic, owing to the contortions
of the coast
Population Not Great.
The population of Panama is far
smaller than even it's territory would
indicate. Three hundred thousand is
the liberal estimate made by the Pana
manians, which very likely, would
have to be cut down if a cereful cen
sus were made. Ninety thousand of
these 100000 are in the canal zone,
and in the two cities of Panama and
Colon, which lie at either end of the
zone, tho just outside of 1t. Indians,
half-breeds, largely occupy the inte-
rior, which Is in part an impenetrable
jungle, witha few footpaths winding
thru it, and a few settlements of
small importance.
But If Panama cannot boast very
much in the way of territory or popu
lation. it has occupied no small place
in the eye of the world for the last
400 years. Some one has we'll said
that "since the days of Greece's glory
no such small strip of soil as the 18th
mus of Panama has gained equal dis
tinction. 1t has been the scene oil
stirring adventure and the site OF
the wealthiest city in the world. II
has been the subject of epoch-makinf
diplomacy and a sphere of political
disturbance. It is the seat of the
greatest engineering enterprise II
history, an enterprise which is des
tined to largely revolutionize the com
merce Of the earth, and. more thar
any modern factor. to influence the
fortunes of the nations"

The Big Man Just Now.

Hon. H. G. Squires, the American
minister to Panama, is naturally a
man of large importance at this juno
ture, comprizing,, as he does, since
Gov. Magoon's departure for Cuba,
some of the functions of governor OF
the canal zone, as well as minister to
Panama. His diplomatic experience
has well fitted him for this important
post. In Cuba he occupied a similar
position after the Spanish-American
war, and in China as secretary OF
legation before the Boxer trouble and
during the siege of Picking, he won
golden laurels-laurels which evi,
IDENTIFY fit his brow in this new situa-
ton.
On the whole canal zone matters
seem to me to be in an eXceedinly
satisfactory condition. OF course,
there are flaws and imperfections. In
such a vast work it could hardly be
otherwise. The state of morals is
low in some sections of the zone
doubtless, and many young men go
to pieces, physically, mentally and
spiritually, thru rum and loose living
The churches and other moral forces
are not yet exertinG the influence
they should or will exert, but things
are on the mending hand; the forces
of law and order and morality are
growing stronger month by month
and the smallest republic in the
world" is by no means the least OF
worst.
