Joe Scores Again.

We are informed that Joe Hill per-
formed another clever piece of work
last Friday evening. DR.. Hill and his
family had spent the day at the picnic
and being fatigued retired early. Joe
and one of his brothers during the
summer months sleep In a granary
near the house and they had only
few days before moved into their
summer quarters. There was a dance
at the school house near the Hill home
and people were passing on their way
to the dance. Mr.. Hill heard the dog
making considerable fuss but he paid
no attention to 1t thinking that he was
barking at the people who were pass
Ing. The boys were sleeping when
Joe was wakened by some one coming
into the granary. Thinking that 1t was
his father he was about to speak when
he heard the man speaking In Spanish
to someone outside. Joe lay still and
the men took the harness that were
laying on the granary floor and going
to the stable harnessed Mr.. Hills
team and hitched 1t to the light
wagon. While they were doing this
Joe dressed and stepping out into the
shadow Of the building watched the
men who drove out aud down the road.
Joe went into the house and taking
his fathers Winchester started after
the thieves on foot. He overlook them
near Mr.. Wooley's ranch and being
tired form his long run took hold of
the end gate of the wagon and rode for
way until be became rested. Now
that he had caught up with them
he did not know what to do.
He was afraid to shoot at them for fear
Of hitting one of the horses and at lest
decided to fire one shot to see II he
could scare them, so dropping from
the wagon he fired a shot TO the side Of
the men which had the desired effect
for they rolled out of the wagon one
on each side and run in front of the
horses this stopped the team and as
the Mexicans didn't seem to have any
further use for them Joe climbed in
10 the wagon and drove home. About
Two weeks ago Joe followed an Indian
three miles and recovered fancy
nlste and box that was stolen from the
house while the family was absent.

Pruning Trees At Planting Time.

At this date 1t is likely that most of
the orchard trees have been planted.
However, there are some that are not
and many others which have been
planted without attention having been
gwen to this important phase Of or.
chard management, so a note In regard
to this subject, even though late.
should be of interest.
The failure to properly prune roots
and tops at planting time influences
the value of the future orchard to
very great extent, and, in many in.
stances, large numbers of young trees
fail to live through the first season, for
the simple reason that the trees were
not properly started.
If one stops to think, he will realize
that when q tree Is taken from the
nursery row, q large portion of the
root system is left in the ground. The
balance between the roots and the top
is thus destroyed, and obviously a
part Of the top should be removed.
Practically all the elements which
nourish tree, are taken from the soil
by the roots In liquid form. This ma
terial is carried in the cell sap to the
leaves, where the crude food material
Is changed by the influence of the sun.
light and the green substance Of the
leaves to form that can be readily
assimilated by the plant. This will
illustrate, briefly, how important the
roots are to plant. Much of this ella.
borate food may be stored In the cells
roots fail to supply 'the requisite
amount. Buds swell and burst forth
into leaves in the spring entirely inde-
pendent of root action. Now, when
young trees are planted, considers
bile period must elapse before there are
any feeding roots formed. Hence, the
pushing forth of buds is entirely at the
expense of the food which has beer
stored within the tissues of the plant
II there is large, overgrown top, al
is quite often the case, this stored food
and the moisture may easily be sup
piled by the roots. 1t is, therefore
little wonder that many trees are ser
iously dwarfed and otherwise injured
and still many Others die from tht
failure to cut back the tops.
The roots should be pruned first, al
long, sraggling roots headed IN, and al
broken ends cut off smooth with +,
shaup knife or shears. If large mum
ber Of fine roots are present, they usu
ally become a menace to the plant
1t ia therefore well to thin out sucl
growths. Then, when the tree i
planted, a little deeper than 1t grew il
the nursery row, the top needs atten
J tion.
By all means, plant yearling trees o
all kinds Of fruit. With such trees
very few branches are formed, henc
1t Is possible to form the head at an,
height. Take the case Of yearlinl

MINES
COMING
LARGE FORCE OF MINE LAYERS
ON THE WAY HERE ON TRANS
PORTS.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 2.-One
hundred minelayers are TO sail for
Honolulu and the Philippines in the
transports Warren and Logan, though
their going, as well as their mission in
the PARKWAY colonies has been Kept a
secret by the Government officials. 1t
is believed that consideration by the
Washington administration for the
feelings of Japan is responsible for the
secrecy.
The greatest concern for Manila's
safety in the event of future trouble
with foreign power and the known
weakness of Honolulu and Pearl har-
Dor, on the island of Oahu. have
prompted measures Tor their protection
that at this time takes the form of
laying formidable mines at the en-
trance to and inside those harbors. IL
requires time to erect fortifcations and
place big modern guns, but a subma-
rine mine may be made ready for
effective use in few days.
While most of these minelayers Of
the Government service will disembark
at Honolulu, the others will proceed
direct to Manila and begin the work of
sinking a network of modern mines in
and about the bay. There will be none
of the ineffectiveness of the Spanish
mines that Admiral Dewey found when
he entered that port on the morning OF
May 1, 1898.
Several hundred mines will be lafu
in and near Pearl Harbor and it is be-
lieved that the plans for mining Ma
Mia and other Philippine harbors will
call for more than a thousand mines.
Material for some of these mines is
said to have been taken aboard the
Warren, while the vessel lay at anchor
near the ammunition house on Yerba
Buena island. A number of buoys
were also placed aboard the Warren
at the same time. The Warren is to
sail at noon tomorrow

allow English and Japanese steamers
to come in and reap the benefit, these
foreign vessels being subsidized by

We read in the papers that both the
English and Japanese boats are to be

of making twenty knots an hour; the
English boats from Australia to Van

trade in passengers by so doing, while
our people will be sure to patronize
the Japanese boats because OF their
speed.
What will be the effect upon our

forced to give up this port and go di-

touching here to and from the Orient
and to have these boats removed, will
be a great loss to this Territory.
With slight changes in their sailings,
better accommodation can be given to
our people here. There are four other
vessels now plying between this port
and the Coast under the American
Flag, but let other nations come in to
take the cream, of the trade, and these
steamers will all leave us and we shall
be completely at the mercy of these
foreign vessels. cannot feel that we
as good Americans can turn our backs
upon the American Flag and give our
patronage to foreign flags. I consider
it an unwise thing to advocate the
change in our laws regulating our
shipping,
1t reminds me OF the action of some
of our Americans during the Civil
War, placing their ships under the
English flag to avoid capture by Con-
federate vessels. cnce entered an
English vessel consigned to our house,
at the custom house. Col. w. F. AL
len was the Collector. Mr.. Allen ask
ed the captain his name, which he
gave; he then asked him if he was an
Englishman; the captain replied: MY
name is James Madison Winchell, and
have twin brother whose name is
Andrew Jackson Winchell. Does that
sound English?"
He evidently was proud of his name
but ashamed of the flag he was sailing
under, and l should think all English
men would have been ashamed of him.
I certainly was.
l firmly believe that to remove the
restrictions now in force to protect
American shipping will result in driv-
ing the American Flag from the Paci-
fic ocean.
1t may properly be asked, What
would you do about it? l answer, We
have heard from many of our repre-
sentatives who visited us lately, that
we Islanders will have a strong and
powerful influence in Washington, now
if this is So and I believe it is,
would suggest that we all unite, every
society here) and make a strong plea
to Washington to preserve the Ameri-
can flag in the Pacific ocean by pass
ing a substantial subsidy for American
steamers, to enable them to compete
with steamers Of England, France,
Germany and Japan, all Of which are
now heavily subsidized by their re-
speotiye governments, and would adj

HACKMAN WILSON
GETS THREE MONTHS
JUDGE WHITNEY FINDS HIM
GUILTY OF RUNNING PROCURER
BUSINESS WITH HACK.

Charles Wilson, hack-drfver, was
sentenced to three months imprison-
ment in police court this morning by
Judge Whitney for immoral soliciting.
He appealed his case and bail is set
at $500.
AS yet the bail has not been forth
coming and it would seem that Wilson
will have to spend the ninety days on
the rock-pile.
Two young girls and woman testi-
fled against. Wilson. One girl, Hoo
kano, is now an inmate of the Girls
Industrial School. Ku is the other
girl.
They testified that they were staying
with the woman and that Wilson
would call around at the woman's
house and take them to the Palace
Saloon where they met couple of To-
cal white men and all of them were
then driven to the house of Wilson on
Emma street. The defense was very
weak and Prosecuting Attorney An
drade had an easy case. There are
other charges against Wilson and il
he perfects the appeal in his case he
will have ample opportunity to defend
himself. The police have similar cases
against other hackmen pending.
