ILLINOIS TURTLE FARM.
Owner Expects Also to Raise Gold
Fish and Guinea Pigs.

mud turtle farm, which will also
be devoted to the raising of mushrooms,
gold fish and guinea pigs, is the latest
venture of the head of one of the big
Western railroads. President H. l.
Miller of the Chicago & Eastern Hi
nois is the man who has hit upon this
novel form of diversified farming as a
relief from business cares, and he in
tends incidentally to show the farmers
of the grain belt that 200 acres of ter
rapins and guinea pigs will pay bigger
dividends than even 80-cent corn.
The farm is located at Darlington, a
suburb of Chicago, and is a tract of
rolling timbered land. Numerous Ia
goons and roads are being dug at va
rious points on the property and an
elaborate system of irrigating bitches
will be established The guinea pig
yards will cover several acres and will
be the largest, it is expected in the
country. The mushrooms will be al
lowed to grow wild wherever they will
in marshy spots and damp hooks in the
woods.
With the starting Of the farm comes
to light some interesting facts about a
little known industry 1t is estimated
that over 10000 turtles are consumed
annually in Chicago restaurants. Some
of them are terrapin, but the greater
part are mud turtles, soft shells and
snappers. The demand for mushrooms
is enormous.--MacOmb Journal.

HONOLULU SHOULD HAVE
STEAMSHIPS OF IT'S OWN

such a proposition might be arranged
to the benefit of all concerned, as well
as for the public benefit?
The American Hawaiian Steamship
Company does not financially assist Ho-
nolulu. Do they cause money to circu-
late by buying provisions and other
necessaries while in port here? Where
are all the sailing vessels formerly en-
pIoyed in the sugar trade2 The Is
lands in those days reaped rich har-
vest; their supplies, etc, were bought
here, and great amounts of money
otherwise spent by the crews belonging
to those vessels. Such is not the case
now.
Patronize home industry Let us
have a line of steamers whose home
port would be Honolulu, whose desire
would be to see that all reaped some
good from such an undertaking. This
is what we desire and what should If
possible be contaminated without fur
Their delay, thus giving as the pleasure
of seeing a local line of steamers ply
ing between Honolulu and San Fran
cisco at as early a date as possible.
Thanking you for the space allowed,
1 am, sir, yours truly, CERVUS.

Several Hawaiians who recently APP
piled for admission as recruits at the
local naval station were greatly de
pressed. when they were turned down.
As the story of the reflections reached
other Hawaiians and was passed along
it became garbled. until finally they all
thought the navy did not want Ha,
waiians as race. But the reason the
applicants failed was that they could
not pass the necessary physical tests.
The physical examination is a severe
one. For one reason or another the
Hawaiian applicants could not make
good. Even a little thing like decayed
teeth is sufficient to prevent man from
getting into the navy. He is required
to eat three square meals a day and to
masticate his food. Good teeth are
necessary to good digestion. Bad teeth
fail to reduce the food to the proper
form before it reaches the stomach,
and bad digestion follows, causing any
number of other disagreeable ailments.
Poi and fish as diet is not on Uncle
Sans bill of fare. These foods are
easily masticated and don't call for
sound teeth, but beef and other stout
edibles furnished aboard ships of war
require stout grinders. A giant of a
Hawaiian, whom the receiving officer
thought would be a good addition to
the naval forces, couldn't pass the sur
geon IS examination. Another was turn
ed down because he failed to come up
to the minimum height, and so it went

Editor Advertiser: In your issue of

the building of a steamer for passen-
ger and freight trade between Homo
lulu and San Francisco.
This is a step in the right direction,
which should be pushed without delay.
1t is good field for. profitable and
paying investment.
By this means the public in general
would be certain of speedy and the
most convenient accommodations which
could be procured for those who pat
ronized the industry so essential to
their benent and comfort.
1t would no doubt be the means of
inducing tourists and others to visit
the Islands, and who, in turn. might
cause many others to grasp such an OPP
portunity to see the wonders presented
by these Islands, which have appropri-
ately been called "The Paradise Of

HAWAII MAKESI
FAST RUN BACK
CONTINUED from Pase onel

4 her IS soon as they struck the wind
The first part of the course was
against the wind, and ia the beat in
light airs the little Gladys slipped bv
/ the schooner. The Kamehameba was
( passed before Point ALA was reached.
and when day broke she was barely
in sight. The Gladys was passed some
time during the night and was not
sighted during the rest of the cruise
/ They caught the wind fair from the
northeastward shortly after sundown,
and it gradually shifted with the al
1 tered course from the beam to the
quarter. The wind blew well all night,
but after sunrise it dropped and they
/ had very light airs for about six hours
Then the wind came up again and they
came bowling along at a full nine to
ten knots an hour.
When the wind was far enough aft
for a spinnaker to draw, Charlie VIII
der east about for some way of putting
out a kite. Finally he struck on the
idea of taking the foretoppreventer
baekstay forward TO the windlasS,
bowsing it down for a forestry and
hosting the large iib topeail on it, This
made very effective spinnaker when
it was put out to the end of the spare
spar they had aboard.
The yard and squaresail had been
left on shore before the race, so they
were unable to use this sail, but the
improvised spinnaker drew wen and
helped her materially, especially when
the wind came dead aft, as it did when
they reached the channel between Mo-
lokai and Oahu islands.
Running before the wind with her
lightened hull the yacht was very much
more lively than she was during the
transpacific race, and she made muck
better speed than she had ever shown
before on the same point of sailing
The yachtsmen were all taken up 60
the volcano last Friday, where they
stayed the night at the Volcano House
They were very much struck by the
wonderful sight, and those who have
been there before state that they have
never seen such display.
There was a big lunch for the visit
ors on Saturday and entertainments in
the evening, at which there were some
hulas, hugely to the delight of the Wis
itors from the Coast.
Everybody who went on the trip de
clare that they had the time or
their lives, and the members of the
crew of the Hawaii are very pleased
with the showing she made running be
fore the wind with less ballast in her.

ALAMEDA's BIG CARGO.

Carrying a big cargo of local prod
ucts of the fields, the Oceanic steamer
Alameda will depart for San Francisco
at 10 clock tomorrow morning. In
Guided in the cargo win be 10000 bags
of sugar, 5000 cases of canned pineap
pies, 900 cases of green pines, 400 cases
of honey, 1000 bags of rice, 400 punches
of bananas and about seventy tons OF
there viii be large list of passen-
gers, including the National Guard rifle
team, headed by Major Riley, which is
to compete at Camp Perry, Ohio, and
the three cowboys who win compete
for championship cattleroping honors
at Cheyenne, August 20 to %. The
cowboys are Ikua Purdy and Archie

MODERN COAL HANDLER.
In the near future the Inter-Island
Steamship company viii have in use
an elevated railroad, double-tracked,
for the quick and inexpensive handling
of coal for its steamers. The mauka
wharf of the Bishop slip will be used
as a coal wharf by the company. The
shed is being removed and the elevated
track win be erected. 1t viii extend
all along the wharf, thence Waikiki
along the sea wall of the Bishop slip,
over the street leading to the Immi-
grant Station and on into the COM
big coal yard. The work of
constructing the cement piers began
Yesterday and the work win be hasten
ed, the material all being on hand. The
tracks will be at an elevation Of about
twenty-five feet. When a ship laden
with coal for the Inter-Island arrives
it will be unloaded directly into ears
on this elevated railroad, the ears be-
ing drawn by an endless cable and the
coal thus dumped in the yard. When
the steamers are to be loaded the coal
is put into cars from the yard and run
around on. the dock and dumped into
the bunkers, thus saving much ex-
pense and time over the old dump cart
method.

Naval Row a neatIoolzing schooner
yacht, painted a whitish-gr and look
ing as if she were millionaire s cruis,
ing boat. 1t was the well-known
schooner Lulra, for many years in the
inter-island' merchant trade. She has
just come off the ways freshly painted,
with the interior entirely rebuilt and
reftted. Koa and other fine finishing
woods were used inside, and she is now
a handsome yacht, which Captain Mill
er has fitted up for the use of himself
and family. The former steamer Mo-
koiii is also being rebuilt and reftted.
The old engines have been removed,
decks taken out, and a new interior
furnished. Overhead is sun deck. A
gasoline engine VIII be installed and she
viii be used for short cruises, and may
possibly find a career as a pleasure or
ferry boat between here and Pearl Har-
Dor, or be used entirely for service at
Pearl Harbor. The yacht Spray, for
many seasons carrying Commodore
Picker Is flag, now faunts Captain Mill
s oil rag. In addition, Captain Mill
err took over the steamer Kaena, which
he has had in service for some time;
the steamer James Makee, which is a
aid to the Federal government
in its lighthouse service, and the for
mer inter-island steamer Lehua. The
hulk Melancthon was sold by Captain
Miller to the Army for use in the
Pearl Harbor Notifications work. The
yacht Lady, which was used by Captain
Miller for his personal use, met sad
fate on the rocks at Waianae a few
months ago, after she had been beaehed
there by two soldier deserters from
Fort Shafter who turned pirates aud
stole the yacht from her moorings in
he harbor.
