The annual field meet OF the High
School takes place a bit earlier this
year than 1t did last. 1t is planned
to have the inter-class meet two
weeks before the big March meet,
when all the athletes of the Island
come together. The Highs meet
will be in the nature OF try-out,
as the High School intends TO put up
team in competition for running
honors, as well as for the other
events which are a feature of the
March meet. Such well-Known names
as Rice and Andrews figure promi-
nently in the High School list.
Every day fair-sized bunch can
be seen trying their prowess at jump

Blanchard finally induced the Board
of Education to put in, is new fea-

"rhe morning of December Is,
1911, was cloudy and a dense fog

heavens showed signs Of distress.
On the following morning, the 10th.

shock Of an earthquake, accompani.

the distant firing Of a cannon, which
was followed in a few minutes by
the complete saturation Of the at

The moon was shining brilliantly,

darkness. The wailing inhabitants,

daylight a number OF lighter shocks
occurred, one that was more violent

months afterwards was the discove-

miles long and from one-half to
eight miles in width. This lake
was later called Reelfoot Lake.
There are places in il the bottom
of which has never been found,
though many efforts have been made
to ascertain the debth of these

"The lake has communication
with the Mississippi river at both
ends, and it is oonjectured that it
will not be many years before the
principal part, if not the whole, of
the Mississippi will pass that way.
In the last year or so an herb, re-
sembling moss, has literally covered
the surface of the lake, and during
the winter months wild fowls, such
as ducks, geese, cranes, ETC., winter
on the lake and eat this moss as
food. Deer and other animals seem
to enjoy it.

Graphically describing the horrible

the tops CT the trees can be seen
The lake runs north and south, and
each end has neck shape, widening
out about the center, or nearer the
northern terminus than the center.
The water in it does not seem to rise
or lower to any marked degree, and
the lake is destined to become the
great hunting and fishing resort of
the West.
at is said that where this lake
was formed was formerly the In
dams hunting grounds and also
where they held their annual war
dances but since the terrible vista
ton of the earthquake it is a rare
thing that one ventures in that
vicinity. BY some method, known
only to themselves, they marked a
warning on the trees for other In
dams to keep away.
"Most of those who fed from the
vicinity during the hard shocks have
returned, but always become greatly
alarmed at the slightest trembling
of the earth. We have since their
commencement, in 1911, and occas-
ionally, feel light shocks. Hardly
a week passes but we feel one.

felt them for several years before.
Since then, however, they are light
er than ever, and as the months and
years pass the inhabitants are be-
coming more reconciled to the sur
roundings.
Zone circumstance worthy of
mention is: This section was once
subject to severe thunder, but for a
long time previous to the first
shocks there was no thunder at all
and but very little since.

request for description OF the
acknowledgement, it is true, but
just as it occurred to the best of
my memory. If you will come out
here, you and myself will take a
two or three days tour of inspection

in history, and in my mind is the
wonder of the age.

HONOLULU KOREAN
TAKES LEADING PART

That Hawaii still maintains its repu
tation as news center of the world,
or as furnishing persons or Incidents
who make news in other portions of
the globe, is shown by news from Den
yer where the Koreans recently held
convention wherein the desire was
expressed that Korea some day achieve
her independence. Among the leaders
in this convention was p. K. Yoon, for
merly of Honolulu, who left Honolulu
to be present at the Portsmouth peace
conference. While here Mr.. Yoon was
active in the interests of Korea and his
to be a patriot. The Denver Repub-
lican says of the convention and Mr..
Yoon:
The first session of the national con-
vention of Korean societies met at
Grace NJ. E. church yesterday morning.
The purpose is the making of a ma
ton, the throwing off of the yoke of
subservieney. Delegates are here from
all parts of the world, young men with
Occidental university degrees decorat-
borne commissions from their emperor
to the peace tribunal at The Hague,
men have resolved to devote their lives
to the high emprise of making Korea

They are going about it calmly, with
quiet passion and with no illusions.
They realize Just how strong is the
game against which they have pitted
| their strength. What they propose is
no outburst of nervous, hopeless, sui
eidal rage against the power which
| they claim is depressing them. Neither
| is it an appeal to the nations of the
earth to band together and remove

national throat. They have conceded

build up for Korea an independence

sufficient strength. They admit that
the only hope for their country is the
development of their eountrymen. They
have listened to President David Starr

oracle of the Pacific coast, who has
told them:
The secret of progress lies not in
making life easier, but in making men
stronger.
