rank among the very foremost centers
of scientific research. The antigua
rian and the scholar, the ethnologist,
the zoologist and the botanist VIII
alike look to these islands as preserv-
ing the records and types OF many
of the most interesting objects OF their
departments of investigation.
In former years, exploration on q
large scale has frequently been car
ried out under the auspices Of gov
ernments. Many disadvantages, which
need not be enumerated here, render
this method unsatisfactory, and the
mere fact that many foreign SOW
ereignties exercise control over various
parts of the region now under consid-
GRAFTON renders this method now i'm
practicable The carrying out Of this
great work will therefore be de-
pendent greatly upon private enter
prise, although 1t Is also anticipated
that much advantage VIII accrue from
the cooperation OF many OF the fore
most scientific institutions of Europe
and America BY this means not only
will the interest and knowledge OF
some of the most celebrated scientists
of the world be available. but there
VIII be no danger Of expanding valua-
BILE energy and more precious time in
reduplication Of work in the same
fields of investigation. AS far as con-
crete progress has been achieved. It
will be. enough to record here that ma
terial assistance has already been
forthcoming locally towards the foun-
dation not only OF the great work OF
exploration itself. but also OF many OF
the institutions which will be estab-
lished latterly from it.
The honor of successfully setting in
operation the great project Of Pacific
exploration is chiefly due to Mr. W.
A. Bryan, for many years a prominent
scientific worker in the Pacific. A
keen student of nature and a trained
with natural ability for or
ganization and administration, reso-
lutte and practical, he long ago appre-
ciated the great benefit to mankind
to be derived from the accomplish
ment of the work which he is now
called to direct. After years of close
study of the successes and failures
of former Pacific expeditions. and OF
the conditions necessary to a survey
Of this region, he undertook, as cura-
tor of the Bishop Museum, voyages to
In this manner he gained much inval-
lable experience for the actual prose-
cution of the work.

THE GIRLS CAME BACK
BROKE, BUT HAPPY
CFrom Saturdays Advertiser.)

(From Saturdays Advertiser.)
Such jolly crowd OK girls. merry
| girls, eager girls and pretty girlsr
They gathered on the Oceanic wharf
yesterday afternoon to wait for the
Alameda from San Francisco to dock
and they pressed close to the big
sliding gates to get a glimpse of the
returning Honolulu girls who went
away some three months ago with
Mrs Edyth Tozier Weatherred to tour
| the Pacific Coast.
Naturally they wanted to know all
about the trip. and they did not lose
sight of the fact that the homecom-
ers were decked in clothes fitted for
| a cooler cline than Hawaii Those.
warm northern clothes seemed to-
| promise q whole lot of good stories
about the country through which they
had been travelling. They smacked OF
Alaska. and Alaska is pleasant
thought on some of Honolulu's warm
days, like yesterday. for instace.
There were the Misses Aloiau, Ber-
ice Dwight, Daisy Todd, Emma Rose,
Katie Sadler, Lillian Mundon, CaIlie
Lucas, Hester Lemon and Hattie SAT-
ferry.
Not only were these girls to meet
them; there were parents ct al. to
welcome them home.
r'Broke, but happy" was the word
passed from the Alameda people, who
found the presence of the girls aboard
like so much sunshine.
There were some who would have
liked to board the Alameda in the
stream or at the wharf to meet the
girls, but since the Alameda had come
down in less than seven days she was
in quarantine until the seven-day pe-
riod should expire. and there was
nothing doing in the way of greeting
until they came down the gansway.
and then there was a big hugging
match when the families got around.
Everybody talked at once. but after
while conversation settled to whole
sentences and soon news of the trip
was sitting from friend to friend.
In a word they had enjoyed the trip
OF their lives and. now that they were
nome In dear little old Hawaii, any
nnanciaily-ciouded days We're better
not thought of. Mrs. Weatherred had
told them of the money panic which
was affecting the whole of the United
States and some of them had come
up with their pin money FOR the gen.
erai purse, without much inquiry.
Mrs. Weatherred seemed to have been
rattied at times. but Manager Bockus
OF the paper that sent them en- tour.
and who accompanied them home. had
told them before leaving san Fran
CISCO tnat any money they had adr
vanced to Mrs. Weatherred from their
private purses would surely be made
good soon after arrival home in Ho-
noiuiu- One Of the young ladies had
not taken Mrs. Weatherred into her
confidence in regard to the money
she had been given by her parents.
and she had some left upon arrival
here Mrs. Weatherred had spoken to
the girls before quitting them on the
Coast OF coming down here early next
year with touring party of girls
from some Coast city.

MAVERICKING.

The maverick branding contest was
worth watching. A score of calves were
punched up on the diamond and the
cowboys ranged in a line at the makai
end of the field. At word the whole
cavalcade swooped down on the, un-
suspeeting mavericks, each man picking
the animal he wanted The object was
to rope the calf, throw it by handpower
and go through the motions of branding.
The event was won by Ikua Purdy, Ma
kai Keliilike being second and Winters
third.

WILD HORSE RACE.

1t was in the wild horse race that
Johnny Winters was hurt. The contest
consisted in riding about a course on
bucking horses, the contestants being
the Wyoming buster, Keliilike and Ka-
luahine, the last being declared the win
ner. Winters got off well in the lead,
his horse plunging and kicking as it
ran. When nearing the turn the bron-
cho's feet slipped out from under it
on the wet grass and the horse and
rider went down. Winters fell with his
leg under the horse and was pinned
there. Both he and the horse were
stunned by the force of the fall and lay
still until the Red Cross boys dashed
on the field and dragged the senseless
man out. He came round within min
ute or two and was able to walk back
to the dressing rooms.

CREASED PIG RACE.

The race after couple of little
grunters proved to be a scramble in
which none had a chance, not even the
pig. One of the pursued took refuge
for moment under one of the benches
before the stand, but was hauled from
his sanctuary and nearly pulled apart
by the swarm of boys who had hold
of it.
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1907-12-17

A novel exhibition was the steer rid
ing of Winters and Keliilike, the cattle
doing almost as much in the humping
and stif-legged line as the worst of
the bronchos. Neither of the riders
used a saddle in this clever rough
riding.

SCHEME A GREAT ONE.
st. Louis Financiers Will Take All
They Can Get.

ST. Louis. Oct. 31-Concerning the
statement issued by Comptroller Ridge
" with regard to a plan for the imme-
date increase of national bank note
circulation, several expressions were
made this morning by st. Louis bank
ers.
J. J. McCleaney, vice president of the
State National bank, said;
IT think il is a very good scheme
and all banks that have government
bonds deposited to secure United States
deposits should take advantage of it,
make the exchange suggested and take
out circulation against the bonds with

c. H. Huttig. president of the Third
National bank and a member of the
American Bankers association, said:
Il heartily approve of Comptroller
Ridgely's suggestion as TO the best
method of securing the immediate in
crease of national note circulation. He
recommends the substitution of NUM-
cipal and other bonds for government
bonds that are not hypothetical for
federal deposits. It would release such
bonds and make them available for
circulation. The situation is greatly i'm

FAVORED IN CHICAGO.
National Bankers Readily Agreed to
Issue More Money.

Chicago. Oct. S1.-Speaking of the
plan of Comptroller Ridgely TO increase
the bank note circulation, President
John ]. Mitchell of the Illinois Trust &
Savings bank of this city. said:
There is no doubt that it will have
a substantial effect. and will relieve
the situation materially. At the same
time, however. the stress of the finan-
cial situation is today nothing in COM
parison with what it has been. The
people have largely recovered from
their slight Mysteries and the situation
is brighter in every way. 1 have no
idea how much the increase in circu-
lation win be in this city, but 1t will
be several millions
President George NJ. Reynolds of the
Continental National bank said:
1.-The plan will be very great help
If the banks will avail themselves of it..
In my opinion, it will greatly relieve
the situation. There is no telling at
present. how much the Chicago banks
would increase their circulation, but
probably in the neighbOrhOod of S3,0O0.-
OO0 Business conditions are steadily
improving. and the general situation is
much more favorable now than at the
openjng of the week"

Butte and Helena Banks Cash All
Checks Presented,

Butte, Mont. Oct 31.-With the Single
exception of the State Savings bank
which probably will be reopened shortly
Butte banks are transacting business as
usual They are cashing checks as pre-
scented and have not curtailed depositors
in any way. The banks are in excellent
financial shape and their managers saw
they will not be compelled to resort to
methods now-being employed elsewhere
because Of currency shortage Deposits
are increasing and there are no unusual
demands on the banks here
State Examiner 7. f. Collins who il In
charge of the State Savings bank, said
today:
There is no financial anarchy in Mon
tana- Every bank In the state, with the
exception OF this one concern which sus-
pended recently, is doing business as

sented- The state, generally speaking, is
IN splendid financial condition.

change in the local financial institutions.
No restrictions have been placed on with
