tcablegram to Hind, Rolph s co.,

First, third and sixth places taken
by the three representatives from the
Hawaiian Islands in the roping con.
tests at Cheyenne yesterday is record
to make every Hawaiian feel proud of
the plucky cowboys who Travelled
across the ocean to the dusty plains of
Wyoming to uphold the honor of their
native land.
From the brief cablegram above it
is shown that Ikua Purdy defeated all
corners, throwing his steer in fifty-six
seconds; Archie Kaaua was third, and
Jack Low, tyro in contests though he
be, came in sixth place.
These three men were up against the
best from all over the world. The
champion roper from the Pampas was
there. He came from country where
the rolling plains are vaster even than
those of Texas, and he had lived and
worked among cow-ropers who pride
themselves on being the fastest and
most skilful of their kind.
Not only from the Far South, but
from the Far North came men to com.
pete. The champion of Alaska was
there, and, hardened by the rigorous
climate and the difficulties encountered
every uay IN HeTulHp cdttit, ne was
expected to have as good chance as
anybody.
But none of them could rope with
Purdy. Swift, agile and accurate as
he has always shown himself to be. he
has surpassed his best efforts, and
roped and tied his steer in time which
none of them could touch.
Fifty-six seconds does not sound like
very fast time, as Purdy himself has
record of 80 "a seconds, but it must
be remembered that conditions affect
such times very materially. There are
always many things to be taken into
consideration, weather, state of the
ground, and disposition of the steer
that is being roped. While these con.
ditions will affect the times made by
the competitors and may bring an ele.
ment of luck, it is skill that wins, and
no hard luck story from the other
punchers can detract from the honor
of Purdy's victory.
In the Wild West Show contests held
at Kapiolani Park last December, Ma
kai Keliilike was the winner, making
time of So 1-2 seconds. Purdy roped
his steer in / minute "a seconds, after

gross income from securities amounted
to $2S,507. Fourteen thousand dollars
was realized from the sale of securities
and balance from the previous year
amounted to 1922, making total of
$4S,229. The greater part of this
amount was expended during the year,
leaving balance of $l555.l2. The
largest item outside of the money used
for the purchase of securities was for
the Kawaiahao Seminary, for which the
sum Of $2350 was used. The Bishop
Museum profited from this fund to the
extent of $1,000, and the now defunct
Kona Orphanage received $3.50.

SEATTLE PRAISES
HAWAIIAN SEAMEN

AS result of the visit of the battle
ship fleet to the Hawaiian Islands, ar
rangements are being made in Homo
lulu for the creation there of naval
reserve organization, says the Seattle
Post Intelligencer. This force is to
be recruited largely from the native
Hawaiians, who are certain to take a
deep interest in the matter The prob
abilities are strong that the Hawaiian
reserves will be among the most eff
ficient in the country.
The native Hawaiian has the making
of fine seaman. In the old days
when the whaling industry was in it's
prime, and when Honolulu was the
regular rendezvous of the great Pa
'cifc whaling fleet, Hawaiians by the
hundreds entered the whaling ships.
Among them many developed as har-
pooners of the first class, and in the
old whaling ships a harpooner rated
as an officer, not as foremost hand.
AS boatmen the Hawaiians are unsur-
passed, and they took a keen delight
in the chase and capture of the whale.
Men of this type will make fine naval
reserve force, when properly drilled
and taught, as they will be.
While the Hawaiian Islands, with
their limited population, are preparing
to organize naval reserve force, the
State of Washington, with the great
est shoreline of any State in the
Union; with more vessels registered in
the foreign trade than any other sim
gle American State; with its great
shipbuilding plants, its large ownership
of maritime property and it's thousands
of citizens serving on vessels, has
never as yet taken the preliminary step
towards the creation of naval re-
serve.
One thing which has stood in the
way and prevented any action being
taken by those who have taken inter
est in this subject is the absence of any
State legislation authorizing the crea-
ton of such force, and thus its rec
ognition by the State. This is one of
the matters which should be brought
before the Legislature at its next SEES
sion.

COPPER KING
IN HONOLULU

Colonel w. G. Greene, the copper
magnate, who short time since was

lionaire Lawson IS series of attacks
upon him and his fnanciering, arrived
in Honolulu yesterday on the liner
Asia, accompanied by his daughter and
his physician, DIR. Galbraith, the latter
once resident of Honolulu. But
those days of almost sanguinary oppo-
sitiop between the two most militant
millionaires in the country have pass
ed away, and Lawson and the Colonel
are now bosom friends.
The Copper King and his physician
passed through Honolulu n few weeks
since en- route to the Orient, and New
| York via Siberia, but on reaching
| Hongkong it was learned that the ST.
berian Railway was suffering from
washouts, and this unique trip was
abandoned. Then the Colonel decided
to cut out the globe trip and returns
to the United States direct. He was

copper properties in Mexico, he will

TRADE
ON THE PACIFIC

All public spirited Americans will
hope that there is no foundation for the
report that the big railroad men who
control the lines of transpacific steam
ships contemplated relinquishing this
business--presumab to the Japanese,
who on an earlier occasion had nearly
consummated the purchase of one of the
lines when the wrecking of one of its
largest ships halted the proceedings.
If this report unfortunately should
prove true, the irony of the situation
would consist in the fact that, while
the spectacular fleet of battleships is
Choking out for our interests on the
Pacific, those interests, in so far as they
pertain to mercantile steamship trans,
portation, would be likely to become'
nonresident.
The reason put forward as a ground
for considering the abandonment of the
Pacific trade by the railroads is their
reluctance to comply with some of the
requirements of the Interstate Com
merce Commission. Their spokesman
are quoted as declaring that the regula-
tions made by that body in accordance
with comparatively recent legislation
at Washington are of such nature
that the continuance of their export
trade would be Improbable. This is
something which it will be very hard
to make the country believe.
The American people are beginning
to see that merchant marine fleet on

PRATT EXPLAINS OUR
LAND LAW SYSTEM

SAN FRANCISCO, August 12.-An
outcome of Secretary of the Interior
James R. Garfield IS tour of the Hawai-
ian Islands recently is the visit which
j. w. Pratt, Commissioner of Public
Lands in the islands, who arrived yes.
terday on the steamer Alameda, will pay
to Washington.
Mr.. Pratt said that the purpose of
his visit to Washington is to look into
the methods used by the United States
Land Office, to the end that the system
of caring for public lands in the islands
may be improved.
Glands in Hawaii are handled under
the Hawaiian law and not under the
Federal law of the United States,' said
Commissioner Pratt. "The law at
present is too cumbersome. There are
too many loopholes for fraud in settle
ment. During Secretary Garfield's visit
to the islands he accompanied me over
large territory and suggested that
We could later take up matters that
would be of advantage to the people of
Hawaii. That is the reason for my
visit to Washington. We want to have
our laws pertaining to lands made as
uniform as possible. We also have in
view the reclamation of large areas, In
some places it is impossible to realize
on crops of sugar, coffee, pineapples and
other products until four or five seasons
after their first planting. BY improv-
ing these backward lands we hope to
attract the settler.'

CLIMB EVER
MADE BY A WOMAN

LIMA (Peru), August 14.-Miss An
ME s. Peck of Providence, r. l., a
mountain climber, signaled at 4 o'clock
this afternoon her arrival at an altitude
of $4,000 feet on Mount Huascaran. the
summit of which is covered with per-
petual snow. Miss Peck il. accompanied
by two trained Alpine climbers.
Miss Peck left New York two months
ago to make another attempt to reach
the summit of Mount Huascaran. On
an earlier trial she was compelled to
give up the attempt after reaching a
height of IL 800 feet, owing to the cow
ardice of her guides. BY reaching an
altitude Of $4,000 feet, Miss Peek has
assembled higher than any other person
in the world. The previous record was
held by w. W. Graham, who reached
height of 23,soO feet in the Hima-
layas.
Miss Peck began mountain climbing
in 1895, when she scaled the Matterhorn.

new fast steamers building for the
transpacific service, and gave hope of
a lower local rate between Hawaii and

in the off season at least there is likely
to be a substantial cut between Homo

SCHOONER WAS
SIGHTED BY ASIA CREW

A sea-tragedy was logged in the rec.
ord book of the Pacific Mail steamship
Asia on her present trip from Yoko-
hama to Honolulu. When the steamship
was ploughing her way between Yoko-
hama and Midway, or, to be exact, in
1886 degrees North, and 1925 East,
and just at fifteen minutes past s
o. clock in the morning the lookout sigh
ted a dark object floating in the water
far ahead, but directly in the path of
the steamer.
On coming closer another of the
tragedies of the ocean was disclosed,
for, wallowing in the sea, her wrecked
decks awash, was derelict vessel,
masts gone and broken off flush with
the deck. She had once possessed two
anchors both of which were gone. Part
of the bulwarks had been torn away

wonderful feat for man to do this
in such short time. Had his steer not
risen there is probability that he
would have made a world Is record.
Angus McPhee holds the present rec.
ord of 81 2-5 seconds, made year
ago at Cheyenne. Since that time he
has been defeated, but the nearest ap.
proach to his record is that of Purdy,
with 3s "a seconds.
Archie Kaaua has shown well in sew
eral contests, but has never approached
the time of his compatriot. 1t is i'm
possible to tell of conditions at Chey-
enne, failing telegraphic advice, but it
may well be presumed that they were
unfavorable and that it was the adapt
ability and clearheadedness of the Ha-
waiian boys that enabled them to make
such remarkable record.
