EXTRA SPECIAL
NEWS FROM GUAM

No /, Vol. l., of the Guam News
Letter is to hand. 1t is about double
the size of a sheet of letter paper and
/ is printed in English and Spanish.
Guam isn't SO slow, according to the
News Letter. Washington's Birthday
was celebrated by the Guamers with
gun-firing, caribou races and a game
| of baseball, topped off by dance
given by the members of the Jagatna
Civil Club. which is reported as hav-
ing been brilliant success, as is
the case with all entertainments given
| by the club
An interesting item is that which
states that the sentence of death which
was to have been executed on Vicente
Crisostomo (a) Ganote, on February
IS, was committed to Imprisonment for
life by the Governor.
At the time the paper was printed
the islanders were looking forward to
two benefit theatrical entertain
ments which were to be given for the
purpose Of raising fund to purchase
a photograph and records for the in
mates of the Tumon and Ypao colo
MES. The program included almost
everything from pingpong to sword
swallowing.
The population of the island on De-
cember 81, 1907, was reported as 1851,
of whom 10,99S were natives and 1863
foreigners, including the naval force
of approximately 140.
The copy of the News Letter was
sent to Charlie Lambert of this city
by his niece, Miss Rosie Christine, who
is a school teacher on Guam.

THE "TOYMAKER"
AT THE ORPHEUM

"a Runaway Girl" was given for the
last time at the Orpheum last night
by the Lilliputians. Another packed
house enjoyed the opera. The great
success with which the company is
meeting in Honolulu speaks well for
the town and good companies will soon
learn that if they have the goods
they can always count on being well
patronized here.
Tonight 1.-THE Toymaker'' will be-
given, and tomorrow night the bill will
be In town.
1t is not all stage life for children
who make merry for an audience.
There are studies and play, and
sightseeing and visiting, and between
them all there is but a little time to
reheafse an old play or produce a new

ton in the world as these same Pol
lard's Lilliputians, for it is old enough

daughter and son, who are the present
managers, and more than that, to have
grown from the Juveniles of twenty
two years ago, to two adult compa nies,
recruited mainly from the ranks of the
little ones of days gone by.
And while the little people of the
older days have developed into actors
in general, there are many men and
women in Australia today who look
back to seasons with the Pollard COM
panies as the most enjoyable play days.
OF the forty odd children who are
making the present tour, at least
three-fourths are girls. Many of the
boys parts are taken by girls, the
principals being in large part little
women. The reason for this is, in the
words of those who are charged with
the care of these precious little people,
that it is easier to control half dozen
girls than one boy.
The choosing of recruits is a matter
of moment. They come from no par
ticular rank of society, some being of
good parentage and some of fortune.
The standing of the company in Aus
tralia, is such that parents bring their
children to the school of the manage
ment to be tried out.
The first thing is the testing of the
voices. This is done by the musical

A GREAT PLEASURE PLACE
BUT UNKNOWN TO THE WORLD

have seen sunsets that rival and in
finitely surpass anything every paint
ed by mortal man. Nor is the night
any less beautiful than the day Here,
too, can be seen the southern cross
and lunar rainbows, while the moon
and the great consultations shine
with a brilliancy and beauty quite UNI
known to other climes.
And what, 1 would like to ask, can
surpass the scenery, and the beauty
of the gulches, or the grandeur of the
mountains? Who, for instance, that
has stood high up on the mountain
side. and awaited the sunrise, for the
purpose of seeing it change the green
of the forest into purple and gold, can
forget the marvellous beauty of this
transformation scene? Neither can
they forget the many other sights and
scenes not less wonderful and beau
tiful.
Again, what place can surpass our
climate, or the beauty of the sun
shine, the blue sky, and the fieecy
clouds?
Why, to watch the cloud effect
alone, from some high mountain, is
pleasure beyond the power of descrip-
ton; for so light, feecy and graceful
are they, and so changeful and varied
are their shapes and forms, that they
not only amaze, but fill one with de-
light at the same time.
And yet. strange to say. three-quar-
ters of the inhabitants of the world
have never heard of these islands;
while even the people of the United
States Excepting the Pacific COAST
and Europe know practically nothing
about them.
I will say that I was amazed at the
ignorance displayed by the general
public, and was amazed to find any
amount of Americans that do not
know that we are a Territory of the
United States. So there is no wonder
that our hotels are empty, and the
city languishing and business dull.
Why, if this place were as well
known as other great pleasure resorts,
the hotels nor the whole city itself
would be large enough to contain the
people. Very truly, G. 0.

Honolulu, March &c, 1908


Editor Advertiser: To the lover of
the beautiful, and to one that has
cultivated the artistic side of his ma
ture, and whose soul is attuned to
the music of the universe, this land,
this fair Hawaii, is an ideal spot. And
to me, at least, though I have seen
many of the fairest spots of the world,
it is the place of all places, the land
of all lands. Painters will tell you
that in no place in the world can such
glorious sunrises or such magnificent
sunsets be found; nor can anything
equal the radiance and the transcend
ent beauty of the MONDAY. I will
also say that I have seen in the great
picture galleries of Europe paintings
of sunsets by the great masters, which
had thought had surpassed any SUM-
set that I had ever seen. But here I

DREDGER REPAIRED.

The suction dredger in use in the
harbor dredging has been laid up for
two or three days. Last Friday she
broke her 'tspud." This is the long
timber which stands straight up from
the bottom of the harbor and holds the
dredge in position while it does it's
work. This ''spud' is a square timber
sixty feet long and twenty inches
square with steel point to enable it
to sink deep enough into the bottom to
hold firmly. The "spud'' that broke
was a lwenty-fouI inch timber built up
to the required size with planking,- a
timber of the right size not being
available at the time. The timber for
the new "spud" was specially imported
for the purpose.

Will Go Into A. Y. P. Exhibit

Our attention was called to some
samples OF grain that have been left at
the office of Adams & Carr. There are
two samples of wheat that came, one
from the farm of w. H. Wahlfell, five
miles up the Chumstick valley, and the
other from the farm of A. L. Mitchell,
on Eagle creek four miles from town.
Either one of these would thresh out
over forty bushels of grain to the acre.
Because there is no thresher in this
vicinity the grain was cut for hay.
There is also a sample Of oats from the
place of S. E. Ritchie, also on Eagle
creek, that deserves mention. The
straw is over five feet in length and
carries large heads and well filled grain.
These samples will be preserved by
Mr.. Carr and will go into the grain and
grass exhibit from Chelan county at the
A. Y. P. exposition.

SCHOOL TEACHERS EMPLOYED
A Principal and five Assistants Have Been
Engaged for the Coming Term

G. w. Hathaway, secretary of the
school board, says that E. w. Emmett,
of Farris, Wash, has been employed
as principal; Mrs. M. Farmer, as first
assistant; Mrs. R. E. Farrell, as second
assistant, and Misses Minnie Jewell,
Maud Hinman and Claribel Amos, the
latter from Cashmere. The first four
ladies named served last year. In ad-
dition to this it may be necessary to
employ one or even two more assist
ants, as the indications are that the at
tendance will be much larger this year
than last.
Elsewhere in this paper is published
a call for bids to complete that portion
OF the public school building which
was left unfinished last year.

way. There were about one hundred
and fifty in attendance. The address
by Mrs. Ward was listened to with
rapt attention. AS result our mis-
sionary Offering will reach 500 for the
year.
The Ladies Aid held a lawn social
at the home of Mrs Jas. Edwards We'd
nesday evening. While the atten-
dance was not so large as we hoped
for, on account OF the picture show,
those who did attend had most en-
joyable time.
The Ladies Aid meets next week at
the home of Mrs. Martell.
Our Epworth League is proving to
be great help to the church work.
Attendance is good and the young
people are taking an active part in
the meetings. New members are be-
ing received every Sunday. We in
vite all young people to come and
enjoy our fellowship.

7. D. ROCKWFLL'S SPEECH
Had Fairly Good Crowd and Paid Ills
Respects to Mr.. POindexter

Hon. T. D. Rockwell, of Spokane,
candidate for congress on the republi-
can ticket, spoke to fairly good crowd
in the opera house on Tuesday night.
He said he had frequently made
speeches and asked the voters support
for someone else, but this was the first
time he had ever asked for an office
himself.
He said he was a great admirer Of
Theodore Roosevelt, but did not agree
with him in every respect. He did not
approve the administration national
forest policy. He was opposed to put
ting a fence around the public land
and prevent people from getting a
home in the public domain. He was
also opposed to Roosevelt's policy with
regard to the coal lands, which he said
the public should have the right to op-
crate. He also said, if elected, he
would favor the policy of permitting
owners Of logged-off lands to exchange
the same with the government for lands
with standing timber on it.
He paid his respects to Mr.. Poin-
dexter, when he referred to that gen
tleman's reference to his own position
as a member of the state tax commits
sion and his approval OF the constitu-
tional amendment, which will be voted
on at the election in November. He
stated that Mr.. Poindexter showed his
ignorance of the law when he said that
under the proposed amendment the
tax commission could lower the rate on
railroads. He said he favored lower
tax on bonds, mortgages, credits and
monies, with a penalty for failing to
render same, and said this method had
proved satisfactory in other states.
He said for many years he had
worked for the success of the republi-
can party, travelled on railroads, boats,
stages and carts-in sunshine, storm
and rain-and never received anything
for his service to the republican party,
and if it could be shown that Mr.. Poin-
dexter had ever made speech, spent
one dollar, or any of his time, to fur
ther the interests Of the republican
party, he would withdraw from the
race.
Mr.. Rockwell is very entertaining
talker and a good story teller. He
made altogether a good impression.

New Mining Company Active

John E. Praul, local manager for the
Chewawa Lead and Smelling Co., re-
turned from Seattle Wednesday. He
says the company will proceed with
development work on their property
which is located in the Red Noun
tain district and adjoins the property
OF the Chelan Consolidated Copper
Co. Mr.. Praul left Wednesday for
the mines with a supply of mining
material and machinery with the pur-
pose of continuing development work.
Mr.. Praul is miner of many years ex-
perience, having worked in the mines
of Colorado for many years. He says
the Red Mountain district is one of
the most promising he ever saw.
While on the surface the values do
not run very high the extraordinary

ment that the date of the conference
