Narrow Escape i'm the South Sea
Islands - Attacked While Landing
for Cocoanuts.
The following letter was recently re-
ceived by Mr.. J. B. Hawkins from his
son, Albert, who is now in New Zealand.
1t is of intense human interest:
Aboard "Yeddo,"
Friday rs October 1907.
My dear Father =
With good weather we shall arrive
in Auckland Sunday morning, and need
less for me to say | shall be very glad
to land, having been on the "Yeddo"
since Sept II, when we sailed from
Vancouver. The voyage though long
has been very pleasant and it has done
me world of good, having gained con-
siderable in weight and my face is as
brown as the proverbial Indian. The
food has been as good as one could
expect although the last two weeks we
have had great deal of canned food.
Fresh beef lasted two weeks, and since
then we have had fresh pork and chick
ems which we carried with u.s. | miss
fresh vegetables more than any thing
else as our supply is limited-potatoes
cabbageS and turnips. The only fresh
fruit we have are apples and those we
steal! There are 5000 boxes on board,
and as many of them show signs of
going bad" we eat them to save them
| hope that the consignee will be salts
fed with this explanation.
Some of my idle time, of which there
has been a great deal, spent in making
real hammock of canvas; it is fine
one and will last a life time A week
was spent in the making
The Captain has done everything for
my comfort and convenience and the trip
in general has been very satisfactory
We have had some rough weather, but
as usual have escaped seasicknesS, and
| now consider myself quite sailor in
! this respect. The Pacific Ocean is never
still, for there is always that long
rolling swell, to which, however, one
soon becomes accustomed.
| had one exciting experience on Oc-
tober ISth-the day after my birthday.
We stopped for repairs near the shore
of an island which was marked on the
chart Savage Island, existence doubt
full This is not unusual as there are
many small islands in the South Sea
which are still undiscovered, and I'M
Charted. L he mate and | looked the
shore over very carefully with the tele-
scope and saw no signs OF life whatever,
but we did see cocOanut trees and the
thought of fresh fruit was irresistible.
The mate ordered boat over the side,
manned by four Cinnamon, and we were
soon on shore. The nut trees were
about 200 yards from the shore and
we had travelled about three-quartcrs
of this distance when we were startled
by the most outlandish yells I've ever
heard We simply turned tail and fled
for the boat but the yells came after
us out of the woods in two hanking
parties. They were scantily dressed
brown men brandishing huge spears; to
me they looked like band of giants.
We had recovered half the distance but
those fends were rapidly gaining on MS,
and such yells and now added to this

School Building Safe.

The patrons of the Saratoga
school need have no fears on &C
count of fire in the school build
ing. 1t has been examined by the
trustees and they have pronounc-
ed a fire almost impossible. The
stoves and stove pipes are safe,
and are situated in the farthest
end of the building and the stair
way is in the center, thus provid-
ing a safe exit for the two rooms
up stairs, as we'll as those below.
Prof. Miller, the principal, and
each of the teachers are very care
full and constantly On the watch,
and have the situation so well in
hand it does not seem possible
there could be any danger even
should a fire occur

To Run a Fort Steele Cafe.

Fatty" Smith, the irrepressible,
left Monday for Fl. Steele, where
he goes to take charge of Mrs.
Freeman's restaurant and run it
this summer. That place is lack
ing a short order house where
meals can be had at all hours, and
Fatty will supply the want.
There is no better man outside of
the penitentiary than Fatty"
Fort Steele is going to be a live
ly place this coming summer and
business of all kinds will probably
be good there this season.

Read the Sun Advertisements
young men

1t will be to the interest of Sun
readers to read the advertisements
from week to week. They are all
new and right up-to-date and every
one of them means business. This
week We have new ads from the
Saratoga Grocery Company, the b.
q o. Store, Hunter q Laughlin,
l.. S. Alfred & Co. and Cosgritf
Bros. Co. Then read the paid To-
calls. There is a bargain in every
one for somebody. We also have
a fine line of legal ads. The Sun
is doing business these days.

Sheep on the Desert.

Harry d. Blydenburgh, who was
in town Monday on business, says
that the sheep on the Red Desert
have done remarkably well the
past winter. There has been just
enough snow to furnish water but
not enough to interfere with the
feed. The wool clip ought to be a
very good one, Mr.. Blydenburgh
thinks on account of the evenness
of the season, which means much
in the growth OF wool.

Thanks, AwfuIly.

The following are just a few of
the kind words sent the Sun with
renewals of subscription for an
other year from patrons without
the valley:
Il enclose 50 for the Sun. We
miss it SO when it is a day late.
It's just like a letter from home"
1--WE think so much of the Sun.
it is always so bright and newsy
and the pictures make us think
you have a fine country out there"
This from a busy lawyer in a
large city: THE Sun always has
something interesting and l always
read it. You have been having
some good pictures and they are
well transferred"
You print II most readable
paper" writes another business
man. 81 find myself reading all
of it, though | don't know but
very few people ip your country
We assure our readers that we
will go right on keeping the Sun
up to it's high standard of excel
lence, encouraged in. the work by
the rapid increase in circulation,
for new subscriptions r coming in
and old ones being renewed right
along.

Touching and Classical.

A reader sends us a touching
little classical poem for which he
offers apologies to the Latin gram
mar. Just why he should feel
apologetic the lines bear ample
witness:

Thenibus boyibus kissi somorum

HOG Raising Profitable

e.. II. Barkhurst, who OWNS fine
ranch property on Brush creek,
was down recently to deliversome
dressed pork to Saratoga parties,
While here Mr.. Barkhurst gave
the Sun some very interesting facts
concerning pork raising in Wyom-
ing. Among other things, he
said:
Il do not know of very many
kinds of business that beats rails
ing hogs for market on a Wyom-
ing ranch. l brought in some
dressed pigs that weighed l2O
pounds each and they were just ex-
actly five months old. They had
not cost me one cent for their
feed, for they had lived on alfalfa
until l began to fatten them. l
fed them on milk and ground bar
ley, which l had raised myself on
the ranch, and 1 consider that for
five months pigs they were fine. l
received ten cents a pound for the
meat.
"All one needs is to have plenty
of alfalfa for them to run to while
they are young and then feed them
milk, ground barley and alfalfa
and they will just grow their heads
off in no time" O..
AS to the quality of this meat
the writer never tasted better or
sweeter meat than the pork made
from the pigs above referred to.
One could take a sharp knife and
cut through the ribs without much
effort. When it is considered how
free hogs are from disease in
Wyoming and how easily they are
fattened for market, the only won
der is hat more people do moi en-
gage in the business. When a
five months old pig will bring $l2
there is certainly good money in
the business.

Greek to Become Citizen.

William Pappas, the Greek fore
man at Walcott, was up Tuesday.
Mr.. Pappas, on the 9th of March

usually intelligent man, with a
good education, understands and
speaks english quite well, and
will make a desirable citizen.
Mr.. Pappas returned to Walcott
on the afternoon train Tuesday,

idly growing list of new subscrib-
ers to the Sun.

DIRECTORS MEET
Walcott Copper Mining Company
Developing an Excellent
Property.

The board of trustees of the
Walcott Copper Mining company
met at the office of ). +. Crawford
Monday night to perfect an organ
ization of the trustees that were
elected at the stockholders meet
ing at the same place on the 18th
of February. W. q. Sammons was
chosen president, and j. f. Craw-
ford secretary.
Mr.. Petty who has charge of
the development work on the prop
erty of the company, reports en-
couraging progress. When the
present shaft is down a little far
Their, a drift will be run to cut the
vein at depth of $50 feet from
the surface. If the quantity and
quality of the ore improves, as it
is reasonably expected to do, then
one of the richest copper mines in
the west will have been opened up
and the reputation of Elk Mount
ain as a copper producing camp
will have been established.
The company is pushing devel-
opment work as rapidly as possible
in order to cut the vein at the
depth mentioned before the spring
water interferes with their work.
In another month or six weeks the
large amount of surface water will
almost compel them to close down
but the early spring months will
be used in the work of erecting
cabins and necessary buildings at
the mine for the future conduct OF
the work.
The out-crop from this property
is said TO be about the richest in
copper glance of any prospect evel
opened up in Carbon county.

The Orchard Case.

Editor of The Sun:
Judge Wood instructed the Jury
in both the Haywood and Petit
bone trials to disregard the Orch
ard testimony. And comes
Orchard and pleads guilty to mnr-

consistent thing now for Judge
Wood to do is to put witnesses on
the stand to prove him guilty, or
set him free, rs he has twice ruled
that Orchards testimony was in
competent.
