TUBERCULOSIS PLAYS

Consumption among the japanese la
borers is increasing to such degree
that the figures are becoming a source
of anxiety to japanese merchants and
officials. Quite large percentage of
the Japanese who are sent back to
Japan by the japanese charity associa-
tions are consumptives. Reports filed
at the japanese consulate show that
many deaths are caused by tubercular
diseases.
1t is claimed by the japanese news
papers, commenting on this matter,
that through the lack of private ae-
commodations in the japanese camps,
tuberculosis is likely to increase at an
alarming rate, and the attention of the
planters is called to this necessity by
the Japanese newspapers. They sug-
gest that new system employed on
dealing with the japanese sick at the

John Cook, who resides with his
family at No. 81 North School street,
is the possessor of an American flag
of great historical interest, it being no
less than the emblem raised by Cap
tain John c. Fremont at Gavillan Peak,
near Monterey, California, in March,
1916, in defiance of Mexican authority.
This flag was taken from st. Louis,
Missouri, by Captain Fremont on his
third expedition across the continent,
1S45-1S46. The small rents appearing
in it are said to have been made by
the arrows of hostile Indians, whom
the intrepid pathfinder and his stall
wart followers encountered on the long
march. While en- route to the coast
the flag was raised over Pixies Peak
Upon reaching the California tide
water Captain Fremont received per-
mission to obtain supplies and con-
tinue his explorations, but was soon or
dered by General Castro, Mexican mil
itary commander, to abandon his work
and leave the country at once, under
threat of using force to drive him out.
When he received this order, Fremont
replied that it was an insult to his
government and himself and he per-
emptorily refused. With his small force
he erected fort and raised the flag
as previously stated. After patiently
waiting few days without receiving
an attack, Fremont marched leisurely
away. Again, few days after leav
ing of the taking of Monterrey by
Suffers Fort, near Sacramento, and on
July IL, 1916, raised this flag with a
salute of twenty-one guns, announcing
that California had been taken and
was held by the United States. The
flag was with the California battalion,
commanded by Fremont, in all the ex
citing events during the early days of
American occupation, and at the final
capitulation at Cahuenga in February, |
1916.
Mr. John Cook, the fortunate owner
of this relic, has spent more years on
Hawaiian soil than the great majority |
of white residents. He was born in
Deptford, borough in the south part
of London, England, June IA, 1924, and
when nineteen years of age went to
New Zealand as ship carpenter on a
transport in the service of the British
navy. His father had also served in
the navy. From there young Cook went
TO Sydney and shipped on an American
whaler for a northwest cruise. When
his ship came south again to Lahaina
for supplies, he stayed ashore and fol-
lowed his trade This was in Septem-
Der, 1874. Mechanics were in great
demand in the early days, and he easily
secured plenty of employment as a
builder In May, 1S49, when the Cali
fornia gold excitement was at the first
blush, Mr.. Cook, with many other ad-
venture-seeking young men of the
Islands, went to San Francisco, at that
time quite fleet of small sailing YES

exterminate them or drive them from
the city. Cook was one of the party
that made the assault on the house. He
was the first to break in the door and
received a bullet wound in his neck,
the scar of which he carries today. The
Hooks were finally routed. He helped
to build the first wharf on the bay,
commonly called the "long wharf, at
the foot of Sacramento street. Mr..
Cook has a good recollection of those
stirring times, but fails to remember
the full name of Fremont s scout, the
one from whom he obtained the flag.
He remembers him only by the name
of Bill, by which he was generally
known. Bill came out with Fremont
from St. Louis and was taken sick in
San Francisco while Cook was there.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1908-09-10

He was cared for by Cook and buried
by him in the sand hills of Hayes val
ley. Before he died Bill gave him the
historic flag, of which he was the Gus
todian during the Fremont campaign
and up to the time time of the dis
bandment, and two Colt pistols. These
are among the very earliest revolvers,
as they have revolving chambers. These
as well as the flag are still in Mr..
Cook IS possession.
In the following December Mr.. Cook
here ever since, pursuing the business
of contractor and builder and occa-
sionaly turning his attention to sugar
planting. He erected the first build
ing on Lihue plantation and afterward
the courthouse at Nawiliwili. The
residence of the late Paul Kanoa, now
standing in Nawiliwili, was also put up
by him. Many other structures of pub
lie and private character throughout
the Islands are the products of his
workmanship. Many years ago he mar
ried Hawaiian lady, and now has
three grown children.
In connection with the historical fea-
lures of the foregoing episode a de-

Walpole, of HI. B. M. s eighty-gun ship

having been called by Consul Miller to
enforce a land claim. Lieutenant Wall
