~ ENERAL Manager Graham of
 the International and Universal O Match Corporation. commonly known as the Match Trust, stood looking at the tape as it ran from the stock ticker with a troubled expression on his face. Already that day It marked a de- cline of five points in the stock of his great company. That drop meant a loss of a round million dollars in the market value of the twenty -million-dollar stock. Also it might mean the loss of his posi- tion Already some of the directors were beginning to complain that he was poor manager.
 An office boy laid the evening paper on Graham's desk and the general manager walked over and picked it up. A sen sational heading on the first page caught his eye ITO fight the Trust" 1t said. Independent Match Company of Mano- towash Opens Local Headquarters. Big Drop in Trust Securities and Bitter Struggle in Prospect"
 For three years the Independent Match company had been a thorn in the side Df Graham. Within month of the absorp- tion of all the existing match factories by the International and Universal Cor poration the Independent company had opened its plant up in the sawmill coun- try of Wisconsin, where the raw material for its product was cheap and plentiful. From the first and up to the present 1t had confined its efforts in the line of sell ing to the state of Wisconsin Graham had started in to fight 1t from the mo- ment he first saw the announcement of its corporation. He had cut prices on matches publicly and had given large se- cret rebates to jobbers buying in carload lots. Every move he made had been im- mediately met by the Independent com pany. Sometimes, indeed. his moves had been anticipated. And every time he struck a blow at the Independent there had come from some mysterious source, n fierce attack on the stock of his com pany, both on the New York and Chicago exchanges. It was the most puzzling and aggravating competition he had ever been called on to meet.
 President Oldham of the International and Universal corporation walked into Graham's 8 office. Oldham was corpora ton lawyer who had drifted Into the promoting of large corporations. He was also known as a daring stock exchange operator. Graham appealed to him.
 ''We'v got to do something to those Independent people up at Manotowish," |" he said "They're simply raising the devil with us Preferred is down five points again today and the Independent announces they're going to open local offices"
 'I wouldn't worry about them" ans- wered Oldham, tipping the ashes from his long black cigar They're only got a capital of $200,000 and they're sure to go broke soon."
 They've been going ahead steadily for three years now" said Graham. and in- stead of busting they're opening up new territory all the time"
 well, go after 'em, then. Go after 'em.

But the aged heart has still one joy

And his eyes grow bright and his pulses

Plan To Send Experts
Before Promotion
Committee

One of the Best advertisements Whlch
Hawaii could possibly have and Whlch
can be obtained at a very small cost
has been suggested to the Promotion
Committee and is now being considered
by that body. This is to send two eA-
perts with a surfing canoe and surf
boards to Southern California to give
exhibitions OF their skill.
The idea originated with George
Freeth the well known local athlete,
and it is proposed, If the plan goes
through. that he and "Dudy' Miller
who is also an athlete Of good deal
Of prominence and skilled in the ways
of the surf, shall make the trip. That
the Southern Californian would ike
the sport is practically sure ana 1t
ought to be a great success. The two
athletes offer to go up and after they
are once in California to look after
their own expenses, but think that the
Promotion Committe should help them
cut in the way of passage and the
TRANSPORTATION of their canoe and surf
boards.

S0UIRES CREATES
FAVORABLE OPINION

1t is an undisputed fact that the adj
vent of Bill Squires in San Francisco
was received by the sporting world OF
the western city under more favorable
ausuices than have hitherto been ac-
corded fistic chiefs from the land OF
the kangaroo.
His quiet movements, and unasSumed
modesty are the causes of it all. His
manner of dealing out logic has a
something about it that captivates
those who listen and he makes friend
every minute whether they will or no
His winning ways aboard the ship
on the way over gained him a host Of
friends and supporters, and just before
leaving the steamer each and every
one of the cabin passengers pressed
forward to shake his hand and wish
rim success He has other winning
ways that he has used successfully in
the ring but they are of different
nature
Much Of Mr. Squiros character was
observed while he was ashore here dur
ing the short stay the Colonies steam
er was in port He was as shy as a
school girl while here, and from re-
ports received from the Coast it seems
that that characteristic was not as
sumed for the benefit of Honolulu peo-
Pile. If there is one thing above an
other that Bill dislikes it is public
attention to himself He will prob
ably get over that after a season on
| the coast
! The consensus of opinion, among the
sporting fraternity of the Coast, is
that he is not heavy enough for JEFF
fries. That is their first estimate.
| Then they look again and shake their
heads and mutter something about
Not being too sure"
Bill stacks w on measurements
much superior to Sharkey or F'itzsim-
mons, and approaches nearer to the
makeup of Corbett than any other man
OF the ring today.
Squires is great believer in the
free application Of eucalyptus oil. A
two-gallon demijohn of the same was
inadvertently left behind when the big
! fighter sailed from his home port ana
Bill" was very much exercised over
that mishap until he learned that the
| oil could be obtained on the coast,
when he again assumed a smiling face
Regarding the business in hand that
has taken Mr.. SCuires to the Coast, he
has very little to say, but what he does
say is effective and covers THAT would
require several columns in the case OF
other fighters who might be men
! toned
so far as I'm concerned I am ready
to fight anybody"
That is about the whole substance,
| introduction and end of 'Bills' re-
marks on f~ht lines.
OF course it is Squires' ambition to
face Jeffries in the roped arena and
he will succeed if hard, honest work
will count for anything.

BEGIN TO BUZZ
Republicans RenOminate Mayor
Thomson

The annual city election occurs next
) Tuesday. at which time there will be
presented a republican ticket and a
citizens ticket, the personnel of
which may be seen in official notices
below in this paper.
Republicans held their city caucus
Tuesday evening at city hall. About
sixty voters attended, fairly selected
a representative ticket, and it will be
= elected. Mayor Thomson heads the
ticket for a second term. His ad-
ministration has been a creditable
one. He did not care to make the
race again, but a majority insisted
and he gave a reluctant consent.
The voters then went to their wards
and selected one alderman from
each, all progressive men, deserving
the party's support.
An expression is to be taken by bal,
lot whether the council should erect
a new city hall. The usual votes or
license will also occur. Parties in,
terested claim it will be close

FAIR EXHIBIT
AND FIELD DAY
Preparations Made to Send a
Good Exhibit to Huron

At meeting held last week in
Ostrander'S office, a number of bust
ness men met to take preliminary
steps toward an exhibit of Hand
county's products at the state fair in
September. An organization was
perfected, and on Saturday a COM
mittee composed of w. d. Craigo
and c. l.. Ostrander presented the
matter to the business men of Miller
by petition and a subscription paper.
They raised the amount of $3.50,
which will do as a starter.
But to make a creditable showing
and do Hand county full justice there
should be 81 800 raised, for expenses,
and premiums to farmers who pro
duce the best exhibit. And as bulk
and great variety is so important in
a display of this kind, the committee
should either secure a double space
or else secure tent for full and
separate Hand county exhibit at the
state fair.
A little exhibit, made in a half
hearted effort is a worthless expense
and had best not be made But it is
doubtful if a single county in the
state could equal the Rec Valley if
a thorough effort is made, with the
whole county joining in.
The local organization hopes tC
gather big exhibit at Miller before
the fair, where it will be arranged
and displayed at the county field
day, which will also have horse rae,
ing, base ball, love-making, flying
machines. scenic railways without
the rails, red lemonade, and many
other things too numerous to men

STAR OF EMPIRE
AGAIN WESTWARD
Great Movement to Western
HOmeSteadS

Pierre, April 6.-ln the great
homestead movement between 1880
and 1885, the prairies of the north
ern part of South Dakota, were so
great that the center of population
which had been practically stationary
in the southeastern part of the state
for years, moved about fifty miles
toward the north and west. Since
that time the center has fingered
about the northwest corner of Miner
county. When the next census is
taken in 1910 the movement west
from that location is likely to be as
radical as was that to the north a
quarter Of a century before. Es-
pecially will this be so if the great
Belle Fourche irrigation project is
far enough along before that date to
allow filings under the irrigation
act That tract alone will bring
thousands of people to the state.
That coupled with the homestead
movement west of the river will be
a surprise othe country frather east
The movement is even greater this
spring than it has been for the past
two years. Every train into this
city is crowded to the limit and most
of them are required to put on eXtry
coaches to handle the traffic, while
every freight train brings long
strings of immigrant cars. That is
here alone, and Chamberlain is get
even more. Immigrants are coming
in from Everts, from Northern Pa
cific towns. and from Rapid City.

NEW RAILROAD
FROM THE SOUTH

Omaha News: A project is well
Oh foot to construct a railroad from
Omaha for 26O miles northwest
through the wheat district Of South
Dakota east of the Black Hills.
An English syndicate, represented
by two Nebraska men, is backing
the enterprise, and capital to the eN-
tent of about 100000 600 will be in
volved. Surveys for the road have
been made from western points to
both Omaha and Kansas City, and
there is a possibility of the road cut
ting off Omaha by something like
forty miles and going to Kansas City
instead. This depends upon what
inducements can be given the pro-
ject by This city.
A party of Omaha men have met
the representatives Of the English
syndicate on several occasions and
are quietly pushing the project under
the utmost secrecy.
