ROBERTSON DISCUSSES FREAR.
Alec. Robertson gave his opinion of
Governor Frear's fiaying of the ''yel-
low dogs" in his speech at the Gar.
field meeting last month. The National
Committeeman was not inclined to dis
pute the Governor in the broad state
ment that the interests of the country
come ahead Of interest of the party
but he did not understand that. the
Governor was making any attack on
the Republicans of Oahu when he re
ferred to corruption or yellow dog
gism. He objected to the inference
TO be gained from the Governor s
speech that the best men ought to be
voted for irrespective of party
The Republican straight ticket policy
is, says Robertson. the safeguard OF
the country against the color line vote,
which he sees coming uu. He predicted
that there would be disaster unless the
prominent haoles advocated the
straight ticket in the coming campaign,
disaster in which Governor Frear
would have to contend with the same
kind of a Legislature in 1909 as Gov
ernor Dole had to meet in 1901.

PORT OF SAN PEDRO.


San Pedro, the seaport of Los An
geles, is a splendid harbor, with a gov
eminent breakwater $3.50 feet long,
practically completed. 1t is twenty
four miles from Los Angeles. The fol
lowing facts in connection with the
Southern Pacific Company S facilities
at San Pedro are interesting: "There
is sufficient doekage now at San Pedro
and under construction to take care
of any business for that port for the
next four or five years In addition
to wharves already there the Southern
Pacific has practically completed slip
giving an additional $500 feet of dock
age The inner harbor is dredged to
depth of twenty-four feet at low
tide, and the Southern Pacific slip is
being dredged to depth of thirty feet
at low tide The United States engi,
neer is preparing plans to dredge the
inner harbor to thirty feet at low tide,
so that vessels of the heaviest draught
may enter and lie alongside the
wharves at any stage of the tide. The
dockage charges are regulated by coun-
ty ordinance, ranging from $3.50 per
day for vessels under 100 tons to
$14.75 per day for vessels over 1900
tons. No charge is made for dockage
on Sundays, rainy days, or holidays
unless vessels actually work, nor il
they remain half aday preparing for
sea after discharge. There is no
charge for mooring lines, as none are
necessary on account of still water.

TwENTY-KNoT LINE PROMISED

A despatch from New York says Sir
james Mills has made arrangements
with the Canadian Government for The
renewal of the subsidy which expires
in August next year, the new arrange
ment being for a term of five years,
and providing for a service with three
20-knot steamers. 1t is generally con-
sidered in Victoria that when further
particulars are received it will be found
that the arrangement is for service
with II or lS-knot steamers, as Sir
James Mills was understood to be pre-
pared only to negotiate upon that basis.
One 17-knot steamer, the Makura, is
now almost completed at Ldnthouse.
near Glasgow, and the manager of the
Union Steamship Company, as an
nounced to the Colonist on arrival, was
willing to order two similar vessels if
the subsidy was passed.
If 20-knot service is decided upon
new steamers will be required, the
company having nothing in its fleet
with better speed than 16 knots at the
present time, the Makura, now under
construction, being one or two knots
faster than any other of the Union

education I'm the public schools in the an

ciples az the bottom of many occupations.

Age 81 graduation depends on many
things Too frequently comment Is made
that pupils lose time during the element

on the fact that II children enter at

an cight-year course at IL: but the aver
age age is always over II. and very
many graduates are considerably older;
ergo they lose time. As shown by the pro-
motion tables. about one-eighth do lose
time. some from indifference, some from
inability. some from illness. and some
from home neglect. But this is not the
main factor in the graduation age; the
main factor lies In the fact that the av-
