No Promises Given OF
Better Steamship
Service.

Nothing of a very definite or salts
factory nature in regard to the steam
ship situation has so far developed
from the efforts of the Chamber OF
| Commerce to awaken the officials of
the lines already in operation to the
fact that as result of their own
apathy and the efforts to be made by
Secretary Straus there is a possibility
of the Coastwise Shipping law being
! abrogated so far as Hawaii is con-
cerned. Before urging upon Congress
action in the matter of the suggested
abrogation of this law it was deemed
wise by the Chamber of Commerce to
learn from the management of existing
lines what was being contemplated by
them In the way of remedying matters.
A letter of inquiry was sent out. To
this number or answers have been
received, but none of the lines promise
anything definite. The management of
the Pacific Mail Company has not as
yet even answered the letter of in
quiry nor acknowledged its receipt.
The answers received are the follow
ing, as read at the meeting of the
trustees of the Chamber of Commerce
yesterday afternoon:

eve would now acknowledge receipt
of your favor of the 29th Of August,
relative to the possibility of the in
auguration and maintenance on our
part of first-class local steamer of
passenger capacity of 800 passengers,
to operate on a four-weekly schedule
at a speed of not less than sixteen
knots.
I'VE appreciate the unfortunate con-
dition of affairs relative to the trans
portation of passengers between here
and the main land as they exist at the
present time. At the same time, it is
a matter for serious consideration to
secure or have built and maintain and
operate steamer of the passenger re-
quirements and speed indicated by |
you. considering the present available |
business offering and rates /
now being paid for the transportation
Of cargoes between here and the main /

present conditions.

HEALTH BOARD
WILL HANDLE:
WALLACH
His Case viii Come Up
Before the Members
Today.

1t is currently reported and generally
believed that at the meeting Of the
Board of Health this afternoon the
I Wallach matter will come up and be
settled IN some way. A petition from
the Executive Committee of the Home
Rule party will be presented by Char
ley Motley and it is altogether probable
! that other petitions will be presented
in the same matter It is generally
believed, too, that the fact that the
Honolulu members of the Legislature
have been asked to be present at the
meeting is that they may have some
thing to say regarding Wallach.
| If some of these members talk at the
conference with the Board of Health
as they talked recently on the street,
President Pinkham will have. bad
| quarter of an hour, for some of the
members are blaming him for the pres
ent agitation among the Hawaiians.
These members claim that Pinkham
forced the Board of Health to turn
Wallach down after the Legislature
had made clear their views and after
Pinkham had made still more liberal
proposition to Wallach.
WAYsON EXPRESSES VIEWS.
DIR. Wayson, one of the members of
the Board, has stated that he will sup
port proposal to give Wallach the
trial he wants, under proper restric- |
tions. He is quoted as saying:
my position will be simply this |
said DR.. Wayson. 'tAt the time when |
Wallach made his application to the /
Legislature, asking that he be allowed |
to practise upon the Iepers, I believed |
that ii was up to the members of the |
Legislature to turn him down, but /
they failed to do so, although he con-
fessed himself to be a fraud of the
worst kind, and knowing that many
of the Hawaiian political leaders be-
lieved him to be a fraud, I felt it was
my duty to turn him down, which I
helped to do by voting against the
joint resolution.
''At the present time it Is entirely a
new issue.
''It is between the Board of Health
and the Hawaiians, WalIach not to be
considered in any way.
Il have reason to believe that ninety
nine per cent. of the Hawaiians and
many of the haoles believe that there
is at hand a remedy to cure leprosY.
AS the percentage of lepers among the
is very great and the mat
ter touches a very tender spot with
most of them, either through relatives !
or friends. and as I believe that they ]
fully and truly believe that there is ]
hope for them, do not propose to
stand in their way, but would rather !

MAKIK1 SLOPES ROAD.

The road jury ordered by Judge De
Bolt to report on the necessity or ap-
propriateness Of the Makih Slopes
road has reported favorably on the
matter. The jury was called for be-
cause the Trustees Of Lunalilo Home
were not authorized TO give a right Of
way for road, through the Home
property, and 1900 square feet OF the
property will be required. Hence legal
proceedings had to be taken.

CAMPHOR FARMS IN TEXAS.
Two Have Been Successfully Started by
the Government

Camphor farms are the latest addition
70 the resources of the Lone Star State.
80 Iaf there are only two, both of which
are ere operated by the government, but
texans IeAans confidently expect their state to
become one of the great camphor produc-
ing regions of the world.
Tractlcally the entire supply of cam
phor now comes from Formosa The de-
mand has increased to such an extent
that the attention Of all the leading coun-
tf1es OF the world has been directed to
opening up a new source of supply. This
IS made necessary by the fact 1hat III
the manufacture of modern explosives
winch are used in high power guns cam
phor forms an important ingredient.
Now that the japanese government
controls the worlds supply of the prod
uct, 1T IS by no means certain that it
may be obtained in the desired quaint
Ties at all times III the future. In order
to provide against any such contingency
as this the growth of the camphor shrub
is being encouraged in Texas.
The camphOr experimental farm at
Wharton was established nearly a year
ago. says the Southwest. The shrubs
have thrived wonderfully we'll, and they
are now as high as a mans head
Ihe process IN operation in EOrmosa
for extracting the camphor is to chop the
trees down and cut them into small
pieces, from which the camphor is then
dlstllled DR.. Watkins will adopt diff
ferent method in Texas.
He sows the camphor seeds like wheat
or oats, and the shrub quickly sprouts.
When it has attained height of about
three feet it will be cut down by NOW
ing machine at a height of about one
foot from the ground The several por-
tons will be put through the distilling
process and the camphor extracted.
From the tender stubble other shoots
will spring up, and the cutting process
can be repeated once year for several
years. 1t is asserted that Il better quail
ity of camphor can be obtained by this
method than by the ancient process that
is i'll use in Formosa. The crop requires
no attention except the sowing and har
vesting.
1t is claimed by DR.. Watkins that q
large portion of southwest Texas is spe-
cially adapted to successful camphor
growing At present prices one acre of
camphor would yield Il profit Of about
$3.50. 1t is expected, however, that when
its cultivation becomes general i'll Texas

FELLOW TRAVELLERS.
Gold Seekers and Consumptives on the
Yuma Trail.

Ever journeying across the desert
sands and climbing the arid peaks and
foothills of the far southwest are two
caravans, one seemingly rugged and
healthy, though afflicted with disease
called goldomania, the other ema ciated
by the Great White Plague.
One is scarcely more optimistic than
the other; one procession seeks a glitter
ing yellow dust that means riches, the
other a more precious thing-health.
Though the trail may be long and the
water holes infrequent; though the des-
ert sun may be blistering and the tongue
swollen with thirst; though the noun
tains may be steep and the path strewn
with cacti, there is the glittering sub
stance in the sand 4 little further on
for the ArgOnaut; a lease of life at the
horizon, when the red desert sun an
nOunces the Dawn Of another day for
the White Plaques victim.
To many seeking their wonted vigor
the hope that ever carries them onward
is sometimes as futile as the race after
the will-o' the-wisp that lures tho Argo-
naut
But the procession moves on nd on;
the pilgrims cannot leave the sands I'M
til the mountain air and sunshine have
healed the scars made by Deaths chief
ally.
The main trail of the weak-lunged
leads from Pecos to Yuma. For more
than q thousand miles prospector and
plague ridden traverse its tortuous
course In the caravan seeking gold
nearly all are poor. In the caravan ex-
lied and fighting for health there are rich
and poor, high and low, democratic and
fraternal in their ills and expectancy.
To some this hope is as uncertain of
realization as the prospector's pot of gold
at the end of the rainbow. Blu many
who have early joined the pilgrims, after
c Nv do 10 H.
ing sun and sleep by night in the pure
air of the mountain top, end their allot
ed exile and return to the old home, a
thousand or more miles distant.
But the ranks are soon recruited. And
some there are who must travel along
the great highway until the end.
Oftentimes the bones of prospector and
pla gue-ridden are found bleaching in the
canon. The skeleton hand of one is out
stretched up the hillside, where others
reach the goal-and gold; the bony fin
gers of the other point home.-St. Louis

A COUNTRY OF TROUSERS.
Women Work in Them-Even the Don
keys Sport Striped Ones.

There is point on the coast of France
where not only the men but the women
and donkeys too wear trousers.
At lie de Re the peasant women work
in the salt and the oyster beds, catch
shrimps and take their turn in the fields.
They don't draggle around in petticoats,
however, but wear baggy knee breeches,
loose waists and light colored sunbon-
nets.
The sabots of the winter have been put
aside and the feet are left bare, al
though the legs of old stockings are often
drawn up as far as the knee as pro-
lection from the heat and insects.
1t is, indeed, a country of trousers.
Nor does it stop with humanity, for
many of the donkeys as well wear long
striped red and white or blue and white
coverings on their legs, which look very
much like the remnants of Uncle Sans
wardrobe. These are put on the stub
born little animals to keep off the flies
and mosquitoes, so that they will be less
liable to kick.
