\. {. PICKER IN
THE BRINY DEEP

Garden Island-H. E. Picker came
down a week ago last Friday to look
after the Kauaians and help them to
get insured if they are not. He thought
he was ready to start in working tie
island at once, but he was mistaken.
A couple of days before leaving Ho-
nolulu he went on board the Andrew
Welch to see a friend off and intended
to go ashore in the tug which towed
the vessel out of port. To get on board
the tug he had to be transferred from
the vessel to it in a small boat, but,
on attempting to enter the latter he
the side of the vessel and got it badly
damned. The swell at the same time
carried the boat away and Mr.. Picker
was precipitated into the brine. He
dived under the vessel in order to
avoid being knocked on the head by
the small boat and had to swim around
hour before he was fished aboard again.
This little adventure did not deter Mr..
Picker from starting out on the bust
ness trip of Kauai that he had pre-
viously planned. Arrived in Lihue his
leg began to ache, however, and he
soon found that he would have to con-
suit a physician about it. DR.. Put
nam said that while it is not a dan
gerous affair in it's present state, it
might easily develop into something
very serious, and recommended that
he stay at the hospital for a few days
in order to receive the proper care.
This advice has been followed, and Mr..
Picker is now at the Lihue Hospital.
but hopes to be out again in a day
or two.

Charles H. Kolle, Of the German

Co. Of Los Angeles, who is on the
Ohio excursion with his wife, said to
an Advertiser reporter at Kapiolani
park:
This excursion is likely to lead to
great things.
"Our Chamber of Commerce people,
having seen Hilo and the Volcano and
Honolulu for themselves, can recon-

"A great many tourists come to Los
Angeles purely for pleasure and
change of scene. They think they can
not go any farther in this direction,
unless they are going round the world.
II there was a steamer to take them
to these beautiful islands, SO that they
could make the round trip at a mod
crate cost within a few weeks, there
would be a steady run of tourists from
Les Angeles to Hawaii.

TRIPLE DROWNING
At WA|MEA, kauai

A triple drowning occurred at Wal
mea, Kauai, on the 18th, Saturday last
two of the victims losing their lives
III attempting rescues. The dead are
Mrs. Akiona, wife of Waimea's well
known poi manufacturer, a young
chinese woman, who had been married
only a few weeks, and a little Chinese
boy, a son of Akiona. The accident
occurred in a deep hole within the
breakwater of the Waimea river, caus-
ed by the waves breaking over the
protecting wall and washing out the
bank.
The little boy was the first to fall in
and his call for help brought the young
woman to his rescue. In attempting
to draw the boy out the woman her
self fell in, the bank caving beneath
her feet. Mrs. Akiona. who had also
hurried to the rescue, then jumped in
to save the two, but the water-hole
drowned.

happened the breakwater is low, al

Delicate
Wash Goods
Serial Story No. Is

The thin, delicate ladies' wash-goods,
such as Shirtwaists, Skirts, Negligees
and Underclothing is not worn out on
your person. 1t is the continual wash
ing. 1t is the laundry. 1t is not so
much the way your clothing is handled,
but it is the soaps, bluing and starches
that work ruin. Now because we
launder hundreds of these garments
weekly We naturally know the best ma
terials to use to give the best satisfac-
ton to the patrons. We would not
think of using soap containing a bit
of lye on ladies' clothes. We would
never dream OF using the common blu
ing of commerce. We know by analy
sis starches that contain acids-and We
do not buy them. We keep studying
and experimenting all the time, in a
scientific manner, how to launder.
Don't you think it would be safe to
entrust US with your work?

The assessment of grains under the
new law this years totals up as follows:
flax, 49, ,170 bushels; wheat, l,OO6,O ,O97
and oats, 24O,56s bushels. The tax on
wheat is fixed by law at e cents per
bushel. The total tax to be collected
will amount to about $4,000 which is
a very small sum compared with actual
valuation, even at ordinary assessment
values and the average rate of tax.
Most of this grain was in the elevators
in cities and towns where the rate OF
taxation is seldom less than five percent.
At five cent tax and thirty cent valua-
tion per :bushel, 100 bushels of wheat
would pay Sl.5O in taxes. At the pre-.
sent legal rate 100 bushels of wheat pay
51a cents taxes, which is letting the
elevators down easy.

than you have paid for. The details of
these totals showing grades, prices,
shipments, etc. are shown on the annex
ed sheet.
AS this company desires to do strict
ly honest and fair business with it's
farmer customers, you will therefore,
figure from the average prices paid, and
the number of bushels of surplus, the
amount due to each farmer that you
have bought from, proportional to each,
and mail each one a request to come to
your Office and get our check for the
amount due him.
As soon as this is done you will report
with your final account to this Office, for
discharge, as we are of the firm opinion
that an agent that will steal from the
farmers will also steal from the company.
Yours truly,
JAS. HONEST,

Dear Strive have just completed

cts outstanding for IL 800 bushels; total

We also find that you have shipped
out $3.50 bushels per state inspectors
weights, and still have in store in your
elevator l,04S bushels as weighed by our
travelling auditor last week. This shows
that you have paid for 1,050 bushels
more than you have accounted to us for.
Your printed and written instructions
if followed, would not allow any such
shortage. By due attention to weights
and dockage you should always be ahead.
This company is not in business for its
health Your shortage has been report
ed to the surety company who are on
your bond and demand made upon them
for the balance due from you. Unless
you make up the sum forthwith they
will be compelled to pay us and crimina
proceedings will follow. If, however
you can make up. the sum at once, We
believe that the experience will qualify
you for a job next season, otherwise We

Court.

Court has been progressing very
slowly. Up to Thursday afternoon only
one case was tried; that of the National
Security Co., VS. Mager, McMurray and
Hornung. The National Security Co.
gave security bond for John Vinen
who was employed by the State Eleva-
tor Go. at Walhalla in l904-O5 as buyer
Later the Security Co. felt insecure as
to Mr.. Xinen's management, and notified
him that they would Withdraw from his
bond unless he put up a personal bond
from other parties to them. The defend
ants gave this additional security. In
January Mr.. Vinen was made to give up
his keys and in the accounting which
followed, it was found by the Elevator
Company that he was about "a thous-
and bushels short. The Elevator Co.,
reported to the Security Co., and the
latter made up the shortage and now are
suing the defendants for their security.
The bond of the Security Co. ON it's face
only guarantees the honesty of the agent
and expressly says that, it will not
be good for losses made by the errors,
mistakes, negligence or carelessness of
the agent.
The defence brought facts showing
that the wheat that year was very poor
and more liable to shrinkage than usual
that Vinen had been drinking consider
able, that the scales were not in good
order, and pleaded that mistakes and
negligence were the causes of the short
age and not the personal dishonesty of
Vinen. Messrs Bangs Il Cooley of
Grand Forks were attorneys for the
plaintiff and M. Brynjolfson for the
defence.
At four o'clock yesterday afternoon
the jury brought in verdict for defend
ants.
Court is liable to be in session at least
two weeks. We understand the Dray-
ton Mill cases will not be tried until
next term.
i Messrs Sinkler and Myers Of Grafton
and most of the members of the Penn
biua county bar have been present all
or part of the time this week. Miss
Laura Daudenberg Of Grand Forks is
acting as court stenographer.

NAVAL RECRUITS

lit is one tof hecurious changes of the
sea that sailors are no longer seamen.
At present, Uncle Sam goes out in the
highways and byways of the country
and country towns to find recruits for
the navy. The "old salt" of fifty years
ago is rapidly becoming extinct. Then
to be an cable seaman" a man must
know how to "reef, hand and steer. ,"
Such knowledge would he of no value
on board the modern war-ship. A coun-
try 1aaeksmsth or :machinist fills the
bill better than "a fisherman. There are
no sails to be feefed, furled or set, and
steering is done with electricity.
A modern war-ship is but a huge ma
chine.shop. In the old days the most
contemptuous term that could be appli-
ed to sailor was @haymaker'' or "black-
smith," To-day machinests and other
shore tradesnen are the highest rated
Seaman on the vessel.
It is fortunate, however; that this is
the case, as otherwise Uncle Sam would
have hard time finding men enough to
man his navy.
We doubt il there are enough real
American sailors ahoat either in inland
or deep waters to man the u. s. navy,
and even if they were placed on board
the great majority would be Of little
use. The American fisheries have de-
creased so rapidly during the last fifty
years that not more than one tenth Of
the men are now employed that were in
business formerly. The sailing vessel
is rapidly disappearing from the great
lakes, q "deep-water" American sailing
ship is q maritime curiosity, while steam
is fast taking the place fthe ''coasters." "
The most beautiful and graceful
thing ever made by man was an Ameri-
can clipper-ship under full sail. No busi-
ness called for so great skill as their ma
yigation. The naval battles Of . century
ago were fought with canvas fully as
much as with cannon. @@ & L
