Great Mineral State.
It is quite true that there is not
much farming in Arizona. According
to the census Of 1900, only one-third of
1 per cent of the territorial area was
cultivated. Since then irrigation has
added appreciably to the farmed area;
but, even SO, you could bunch all the
farms Of Arizona in one corner of one
county and forget where you left
them. Yet this need not be taken as a
reflection upon the fair fame of Ari-
zona. She has many other things Of
value which other states lack. She Is,
for instance, third In the Union alb to
the production OF copper, and she pro
duces gold and silver and lead and coal
and nearly every other mineral under
the sun. Arizona Is accounted the

Of the two territories, but when the
question was submitted to q vote of
the people concerned nearly every man
In Arizona voiced his sentiment strong
ly against the proposition. There is a
race problem bound up in the matter.
A very large percentage Of the New
Mexicans is Mexican, "greasers" in the
southwestern lingo, while Arizona's
population is almost wholly American.
Arid Arizona was not at all thirsty for
drink of Mexican blood in the way
OF statehood assimilation; hence the
verdict of the people.
Arizona means, etymologically, arid
belt. 1t is the arid zone. Really there

vast arid land there are thousands of

know them

Arizona contains the Grand Canyon
Df the Colorado river, one of the su-
preme wonders Of nature. For 200
miles this marvellous stream flows
through scenery Of sheer magic and
superlative magnificence Painters
have tried to put its form and hue on
canvas, but vainly. Poets have stood
Rwed within the canyon or above and
gone away without trying to write
word Of appreciation, for 1t would be

TALKING WITH COAST

Wireless expert A. A Isbell from the
new station at KahuEu heard the bat
tleships Alabama and Maine talking
with the Coast stations Tuesday night
while the vessels were eighteen hum
dred miles from this island. Just as the
kahuku station was beginning to get
the signals in good shape the steamer
Hilonian arrived with her ethergrams
and spoiled the attempt of the station
to get reading of the messages from
the warships to the Coast.
The Hilonian announced that it was
O'Clock on board, and that she was
212 miles from Diamond Head She
kept calling and so disturbed the re-
ceiver at the Kahuku station that the
attempt to catch the signals was given
up. The general results of the expert
ments Tuesday evening were very graf

less Company and Expert Isbell. The
power has not yet been installed in the
Kahuku station, nor is the installation
of the wireless plant complete as yet,
but the receipt of the long distance
messages has confirmed the men in their
opinions that they are on the right road
to success In their attempts to reach
the Coast by wireless.

CIRCUMSTANCES OF
THE PRINCES DEATH

SAN FRANCISCO, Jpne S.-Prince
David Kawananakoa, one of the most
popular of the royal family of Hawaii,
died of pneumonia at the Hotel Stew
art at74:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The end was sudden and totally un-
expected, the general impression being
that he was well on the road to re-
covery.
With him at the time of his death
were Co,onel and Mrs. Samuel Parker,
his father-in-law and mother-in-laW,
Hs daughter of six years, the Princess
Kapiolani Campbell. and his sisters-in-
law. Miss Muriel Campbell and Miss
Beatrice Campbell.
The party arrived from Honolulu on
the Siberia May -, the trip being taken
partly for the health of Prince David,
which was not of the best. On the
trim across he contracted cold which
in time developed into a bad case OF
pneumonia and finally resulted in his
death. He took TO his bed six days
ago. Last Saturday he began TO I'M

eral hope that he had successfully
combated the attack. AT 3 o'clock yes
for the worse, and died suddenly after

and the eldest son of Chief d. Kahale-

GILMAN ELIGIBLE AS
A COMMISSIONER

The decision of the Attorney General
regarding the right of Joe Gilman to
sit on the Board of License Commits
sioners was, it is understood, written
yesterday for submission to the Act
ing Governor. The opinion, it is stat
ed, is to the effect that any connec-
ton Mr.. Gilman may have with the
Haleiwa Hotel is too remote to be con-
sidered as any hindrance to his ap-
pointment as a commissioner. The
position is that Mr.. Gilman is a di-
rector of the o. r. & L. Company,
without being the owner of any stock,
and that the company leases the Ha-
leiwa Hotel from the Haleiwa Hotel
Company and holds a hotel license.
The opinion will probably be made
public this morning.

MUSICAL PARADES.
Secretary Wood reported for j. F.
Morgan of the naval and military
committee that during the week he
had called on Major Dunning at Fort
Shafter and that the latter had stated
that if the use of the band could be
obtained there might be a parade at
the fort every two weeks for the
benefit of the public. The supervisors
are favorable to the plan and the
musical parades are likely to soon be-
come a pleasant feature of Honolulu

WILL INVITE SCIENTISTS.
In response to a letter from c. S.
Holloway, a member of the commit
tee appointed to invite the American
Association for the Advancement of
Science to hold their summer meeting
in Honolulu in 1910, the following reso-
luton was adopted:
Whereas, The Committee on Policy
of the American Society for the Ad-
vancement of Science, is giving con-
sideration to the suggestion that the
1910 summer convention of the Society
be held in Honolulu;
Now, therefore, Be it Resolved, That
the Honolulu Chamber of Commerce
most cordially approves of the plan
and begs to join in a general invita-
tion to the members of the American

ence to meet in Honolulu in 1910, and
Be it Further Resolved, That the
Honolulu Chamber of Commerce will
gladly cooperate with the local COM
mittee in arranging for the reception
and entertainment of the members of
the Society who may visit Honolulu at
the time of the convention.

tary Garfield to address the business
men of the city in the rooms of the
