STATE RICE CROP FIGURES.
They Fail Below Those of the Rice
Men.

According to the annual report OF
the secretary of the state board OF ag-
riculture and immigration the Louisi-
ana rice crop for 1906 was 1913, $50, 600
pounds. While the report does not
so state, it is probably that clean rice
was meant, as this wonld make a crop
of only / 1885, 500 pockets of clean. If
rough rice was meant the crop would
be less than million and quarter
barrels.
According to the general impression
among rice men the latter figure
would be out of the question, while
the larger figure is too small. 1t is
generally believed that the Louisiana
crop went over 100000 sacks of
rough. The Texas crop is known to
have gone considerably oyer 2,OOO,O OO
and it is improbable that the Louisi-
lana crop fell much, if any, below
that ofTexas.

Z. Ii. GOOdreau GOred by Bull.

A very serious and what came near
being fatal accident occurred at c..
A. Saxby's place, last Friday at the
sale. 1t seems that while bidding on
him, the crowd had cornered a large
short horn bull, which became en-
ragged and charged upon the crowd.
Despite the fact that the action of the
bull was greater rejuyinator of
youthful activities than DR.. Hasse's
famous Shaker treatment is said to be
by the Lake Charles papers, the en-
ragged animal managed to give num-
Der of spectators close calls with his
sharply pointed horns. Finally he
caught Mr.. GoOdreau's arm upon one
horn and lifting him bodily from the
ground carried him a number of feet
until finally tearing his horn through
clothing and flesh he hurled his victim
to the ground where be would have
undoubtedly gOred him to death had
1t not been for the presence of mind of
number Of the men who rushed upon
the maddened beast and frightened
him away. Mr.. GoOdreau'S injuries
are very painful. the muscle being
torn loose from the elbow to near the
shoulder. At the time of going to
press be is improving and there is
good reason to hope that his recovery
will be complete.

Ships dinners, ships lunches and
ships officers have been the only
topic of conversation during the past
week. and It seems as II all Honolulu
had been uniform mad. The recep-

and the officers of the fleet gave on
Tuesday evening could not be sur

electricity being quite enough to at
tract hundreds of lookers-on. who
exclaimed in admiration and delight
ut the gorgeousness of the affair. The
crosses formed by the masts could be
seen far down the Waikiki road and
the searchlights, leaving trails OF
misty silver, added to the magnificent
effect of one of the grandest affairs
ever given in Honolulu OF late years.
The naval dock was converted into a

Grated roof, formed Of flags of all ma
