We appreciate the kindness OF Oakley
Tyner in nclearing the side walks Of snow
with his snow-plow. This is something
that ought to be done after every snow

should receive something more than
"Thank you" for his services.
Christmas exercises at the Lordville
Presbyterian church on Christmas night.
A cordial invitation is extended to every
one who cares to attend.

NO DESIGNS ON THE
HAWAIIAN ISLANDS

"The suggestion that Japan wants to
acquire the Hawaiian Islands or the
PHILIPPINES is absurd said Otto Fuku-
shima, a Japanese merchant of New
York and Toxic. and a nephew of the
famous general of that name, at the
Ebbitt House NO one who is ac-
quainted with conditions in Japan
takes any stock in such stories. Japan
has her hands full with Formosa, an
island she acquired as a result of the
China-Japanese war. Japan is obliged
to maintain a standing army of $4,000
men in Formosa, which is populated
by savages who even to this day have
cannibalistic tendencies. The Japanese
government has a large problem of
civilization on her hands in the island,
and she does not care at this time to
undertake any other problems. 1t
costs the empire a great deal of money,
for which there are no returns, just
as the Philippines are costing this
country.
Much of the talk of trouble between
this country and Japan has been due
to yellow press, continued Mr.. Fu-
kushimai 1T exists in both countries,
for we have jingoes just as you have
in the United States. 1 believe in a
free press, but l think there should be
some restrictions placed upon papers
that exaggerate and misrepresent
things.
Japan is not seeking to invade mar
kets in which the United States is
vitally interested. The two countries
are engaged in different lines of man.
ufacture which do not conflict. For
instance, America manufactures agri-
cultural machinery, typewriters, sew
ing machines, etc, which she sells
abroad, while Japan makes a silks
lacquer ware, brass, and other similar
articles. Where can competition came
in?"

EVIL PROPHECIES
NOT REALIZED

"Thehtransport Sherman was in port
the be .er part of three days" said
Sheriff Iaukea yesterday. She had
about four hundred soldiers aboard.
Iwilei was closed up. And yet, in spite
of the doIeful representations of some,
there was a very great deal less trouble
with the soldiers than usual. In fact,
there was only one soldier out of the
whole four hundred during the nearly
three days the vessel was IN port who
was taken into custody. He became
drunk and, belligerent, and was put
under arrest and sent to his ship.
Il think there has been no expert
ence to correspond with this since /
have been sheriff. 1t seems to me to
indicate that those who argue that be-
cause this is a seaport town and large
numbers of soldiers are passing
through hefe at frequent intervals we
must maint$fn, or at least permit, such
a place as Iwilei, are either wrong in
their inferences or their premises. While
Iwilei existed the police always had
more or less trouble with the soldiers
whenever a transport was in town.
Incipient riots and rough house opera
tions We're constantly starting among
them, keeping the police on the alert.
Almost invariably from three or four
to a dozen and sometimes more SOL
diers were taken into custody by the
police, usually. where the offenses were.
not more serious than drunkenness
and breaches of the peace, to be turned
over to their own officers. That was
our experience with Iwilei open as
resort.
with Iwilei closed, our experience
so far has been altogether different.
No emeutes: no incipient riots; no
rought hofses; no crowds of noisy SOL
diers; and only one arrest necessary;
and that notwithstanding the trans
port Sherman was in port a much
longer time than transports usually re-
main.
THE truth is that the great bulk of
the soldiers who resorted to Iwilei did
so out of mere curiosity; because there
was such a place. Now that it no
longer exists they scatter all over town
and in quest of things to
interest them, and the conditions which
provoke trouble and breaches of the
peace are not created.
I'VE are trying to faithfully and eff
GENTLY enforce the law as we find it,
and so far none of the evils or diff
cufties which have been prophesied are
apparent. But on the contrary our ex-
perience so far has been altogether IA
vorable."

PUNAHOU SENDS To,
SEATTLE FOR TEACHERS

SEATTLE, March 24-Oahu College,
in the Hawaiian Islands, has sent a
request to the University of Washing
ton for a teacher of German. French
and mathematics, as well as several
teachers in the grades. Oahu is one
of the largest colleges in the islands,
having over six hundred students, with
a faculty of forty members. The in
stitution is really a first-class pre-
paratory school. It is a non-sectarian
Christian institution. having property
worth s5OO,OOO. and an endowment of
s325.nOe.
The demand for teachers from this
distant place is in accord with the
other calls that are constantly coming
to the university. The salaries offered
by the Hawaiian college range from
$500 to $1,000. a year, or about the same
as the high school teachers throughout
the Northwest are receiving.
The university has received besides
these applications for teachers from
the Hawaiian Islands nineteen other
requests for instructors from the high
schools of this State. Nine of these
applications are from Eastern Wash
ington schools. There are also a great
many requests for grade teachers from
all parts of the State and Northwest.

A GOOD SOAP.

A good soap which keeps the skin in
good condition is made with CASTLE
soap and tincture of benzoin. Melt
the cake of soap in boiling water until
1T is thick paste, then add gill Of
benzoin which has been cut with pure
alcohol. This mixture can be kept in
a metal-sealed jar and is excellent for
the face and hands. If one has very
dry skin, this preparation should not
be used, for the benzoin has a tend
ency to dry the skin.

7RACKAYING BY MACHINERY
Remarkable Speed Laying
Steel Between St. Paul
andClinChpOrt,Va.

Information received in this city
from j. Mac Phipps, jr, who is now
with the Carolina, Clinchfeld and Ohio
Railway Company, with headquarters
at st. Paul, Russell county, Va, will
give some idea of the great work now
going on in the construction of road,
especially along the route between st.
Paul and Clinchport. The work at this
point is under the supervision of John
Ingles, with A. L. Whitehead as gen
eral track foreman. These track build
ers are well equipped for the business,
and with a large force of workmen are
pushing the construction work along
rapidly.
On that part Of the new road they
have in use daily one OF the big Harris
track machines, which in a wonderful
piece of machinery for laying the heavy
steel rails. Mr.. Phipps writes that in
a single day they laid s, $50 fee, of track
between St. Paul and Clinchport, which
is the most steel ever laid in one day
in this section of country,
This does not mean that a single rail
was laid that distance in day, but that
both parallel rails we're put down that
distance by the big machine. A ma
chine that can lay little more than
mile and q half of double line steel in
one day is regarded as wonderful
J piece of mechanism and is valuable in
railroad construction.
If anything like this record is KEPT
up daily, it will not be long until this
great coal carrying system will be com
pleted and trains will be speeding di
rectly across the Appalachian range o
mountains and, in beautiful sweep
connecting the Ohio valley with thu
Atlantic seaboard. Bristol News.
