SEARLE
DECLINES PRESIDENCY

Professor Searle, who was selected
by the Board of Regents for the presi-
dent of the new College of Agriculture,
has declined the position at the salary
offered, $4,000. He wants $4,000. With
$4,000 for salaries, the board feels that
it can not devote half of it to the sal
airy of a president. 1t is planned now
to seek a less expensive man, and if
possible secure the aid of c. F. Eckart
in outlining a plan of study and work,
SO that intending students may be
fully informed of the plan OF the in
stitution.

MARINE:

Advices have been received at the
Q. S. Naval station here from the
Navy Department. at washington to
the effect that the ship John Ena, the
ship Edward Sewau and the ship AS
trail are under charter to transport
coal for the Navy from the east coast
TO Honolulu. and Lind & Co. of New
York, have been awarded the contract
to convey $4,000 tons, about five ship
loads TO the Islands. These eight YES
sells win bring about 40, 900 tons of coal
and, together with seven other vessels
whose charters have been announced,
from the Atlantic coast of America and
from Cardiff, Wales, about $4,000 tons
of coal will soon be on the way to Ha-
wall for the Honolulu Naval station.
The latter seven vessels are the Arthur
Sewal, the Dirigo, the Erskine NJ
Phelps, the Atlas, the S. S. Nederland,
the S. S. Highland Monarch and the
s. S. Queen Helena. The price to be
paid by the United States government
for the coal per sailing vessels is $6.25
per ton and the figure per ton per
steamer is $685., so the coal for Homo
lulu for the Navy will cost Uncle Sam
away over half a million dollars for
transportation when rates from Cardiff
are figured in with cost from the east
ern coast of the States.

Must keep the Seed oa.

the surprising fertility of the soil of that wonderful valley that seemed but little short of incred- ible; yet they were told by so many we'll known persons of reliability and credibility and the evidence was so cumulative, that the natural tendency to doubt was swept away completely.
 Mir. A. Butterfield, who has been engaged in farming in the valley some seven years past, related that from a small vineyard of five acres he sold $400 worth of grapes, made 300 gallons of wine, which he sold at $2 per gallon, and left to rot on the vines some seven tons of grapes. There was a revenue of $1,OOO (Mexican) from that five acres of land, return of $100, gold per acre.
 Mir. Butterfeld related farther of having planted small patch of land with melons. The area did not exceed ] of an acre. It had. growing upon it a grove of young trees, which he had cultivated by blowing and pulverizing the land around their roots, in the process stirring to the completest extent every foot of the soil. In April he planted the seed, and ninety days later had sold $105 worth of melons, and had plowed the land for another crop.
 Upon Mir. Butter6eld's place are guayaua trees four years old, that are loaded down with fruit.
 Mir. Elmer M. Anderson of Bacum, related some equally astonishing stories of the fecundity of the soil. He pointed out corn field, not exceeding two acres in area, from which the crop raised had sold for $949.
 Mir. Anderson related also of the planting of four pounds of onion seed upon an area less than one acre. Beyond blowing and pull verizing the ground there was done upon the land no work what ever, except sowing the seed and gathering the crop. Yet there were harvested and sold onions that returned $343. The prices given are Mexican money, of course; but reduced to American money, the returns are so great as to seem immoderate, almost. Mr.. Butterfeld relates a similar ex- perience. A small area was sown to onion seed, and then no further attention was paid to 1t. The ripe onions covered the ground, liter ally; and they were gathered into heaps with a rake, while from the heaps they were shoveled into a wagon.
 At Ontagota Mrs. Thomas Sex ton showed the editor tuberoses that had grown to height of twelve inches or more and bloomed /, within three weeks after the water had been turned in from the canal. When the water came their shoots had not appeared above the ground.
 At Esperanza, Mir. Robert Latin am, who is conducting the experi- ment station for the Richardson Construction Company, showed to to the editor his beds of peas and beans, that had been planted three days before, and they showed young sprouts that were an inch above the ground. In lines where seeds had been planted two days

THE REACTION.

The reaction against the extravagant assaults on business is beginning, and it is high time. AS an aid to sober and sane thinking in this matter those who are inclined to approve the as- saults should ask themselves who are going to be most hurt by them if they are carried to the bitter end, and who have already been hurt by them. The capitalists, perhaps the reply will be, But who is the capitalist? Every man, woman and child who has an invest Iment in a railroad or some other busi- ness. There are millions of such cap- itahsts in this country, very many of them totally dependent on the security and the profit of their investments. If agltators and half-thinkers succeed in spelling the value of these investments those who are now fairly comfortable and able to do something toward help HIS IIOoC W1lO dlS lCSS NOlllLOl IuO w iAI fall into poverty and misery from which many of them will not emerge. What kind of a situation will that be, and how will those who are apparently aiming to bring it about profit by it.? There will be general lack of work, small pay for what is done ana general suffering.
 No wonder men of brains and moral quality are getting together to see what can be done to save the people from deep and long trouble. They do not deny that some capitalists have done wrong, but they see a greater and more damaging wrong in the indiscrim- mate punishment of all capitalists. And they are entirely right in so seeing.

4 GENEROUS SEA.

Those who are fishing are fond of saying and believing that there are as good fish in the sea as were ever caught, and fish sharps says that all the catching doesn't much diminish the supply The way the Pacific coast hal ibut fleet takes them in indicates that there are, or were, a few halibut left
 Ble fleet consists of thirty-six small vessels of from to 42 tons, with crews of from five to seven meh each; two steamers and one gasolene launch. Oi these vessels thirty-two hall from Seat tie, two from Tacoma and one each from Port Townsend and Ballard The two steamers hail from Tacoma and the gasolene launch from Seattle During the summer the halibut vessels fish of the southwest and northwest coasts ot Washington and in the Strait of Juan de Fuca. During the last of Septem- Der and early in October large num- Der of them leave for Alaskan waters to fish in Chatham Strait, Frederick Sound and occasionally in Icy Strait They return home from Alaska between the middle of February and early part of March and continue fishing or grounds off the coast of Washington The fishermen work on shares, the crew paying for the provisions and ice and the vessel furnishing the fishing gear except in some cases, when a small charge is made for the latter After the expenses are paid the vessel draws one-fifth of the stock and the crew the balance. The catch in Alaskan waters is packed in 5OO-pound boxes and sent by steamer to Seattle. The vessels took from off the coast of Washington and in the Strait of Juan de Fuca 4,625, 900 pounds and from Alaskan waters B. 349,000 pounds Small boats took APO pounds off the coast of Washington. The three steamers took 3,8OO,oOO pounds from Alaskan waters. The re- sulting total, therefore, is 5,O67 ,O0O pounds of halibut from off the coast of Washington and 7,149OOO pounds from Alaskan waters, or q grand total of 12,216,OO0 pounds, valued at $S61 ,6SO, This value is an average of nearly 8 cents a pound. to the fishermen.
 That's catching em some. It's a generous sea, even if it doesn't produce gold direct in paying quantities.

KHAr cLcrRo MIGHr DO

If Cicero were alive and living around here he would probably get up on his hind legs and ask MT. Winter the same question he asked NJ. Cataline, And he would have good warrant for doing it Too long, indeed, has Winter abused our patience, and though at this writ ing it hasn't showed for a few hours there is in the air the concentrated es- sence of several past or coming snows in kind of halfIbaked or half frozen state. But what can be done about it? Nothing at all, ex- cept to look cheerful. Let us all
 therefore, continue to look cheerful
 Practice makes perfect, and we have had practice enough this Winter to en- able us to give pretty good imitation. The real thing is just ahead. April showers, May flowers, June roses and Fourth of July firecrackers. What more could be asked? And isn't it true that this Winter has been such that even the buzzing of a summer fly or mosquito would sound really friendly?
