From Honolulu has come the word
that a rousing welcome is in store
for the men and officers who are
working the ships on their way
around the world. Never in the his
tory of the islands has there been such
sight as will be seen when the big
ships drop anchor in the narrow
fairway; and Honolulu is planning to
make 1t memorable occasion for all
concerned.
BY means of the auxiliary vessels
already plunging their way across to
the islands, far in advance of the
fighting ships, the Hawaiians will be
kept fully posted on the progress of
the fleet and when the men on the
Connecticut first spy the dim outline
of Diamond head, the outpost of the
group, they will doubtless see a host
Of pleasure craft sweeping out to
them bearing the greetings Of the
warm-hearted islanders.
Before sailing Rear Admiral Sper-
ry, commander in chief of the feet,
received the following message from
Governor Frear at Honolulu.
Hawaii wishes you and your Of
ficers and men a good voyage and
awaits your arrival with the keenest
interest and heartiest welcome"

A Now Fleld For Fnrmar..

Supporting his argument with q Ire
Ct seventeen staple products OF the
DoIl that are imported here from italy,
the United States consul at Naples ad-
'iscs American farmers to compete for
this trade. He says:
The large number Of Italians ana per-
sons OF italian origin doTniciled In Amer
lea has OF late years created a constantly
growing demand for Italian vegetables
and food products. Instead OF the United
States sending farm produce to Italy, the
situation IL cutie the reverse. Fron this
consular district alone s2.2J9sl0 worth Of
this class o. goods were shipped during
the calendar year 1907
II seems probable that this trade or a
considerable portion OF IL could be Sc
cured by american producers but the
tastes and wishes Of the consumer must
be carefully consulted and satisfied. The
American farmer can compete successful
" with the Italian farmer, as the latter
In spite OF the advantage OF cheap labor,
has freight and duties against him.
In many cases American goods could be
made 10 take the place OF foreign articles.
Italian cherries, for example, are said to
be finer than those produced In the Unit.
cd States, but with care in production
and preserving the American goods might
capture the market. The Italian market
In the United States Is only considered in
this matter. for American farmers can
not hope for an opening in Italy at pres
ent.
Among the items named which the
consul thinks can certainly be raised
in America are onions and beans, OF
which $4,000 worth were shipped here
from Naples last year Cherries valued
at $4,000 were imported. Tomatoes
figured at $4,000 and nuts Of various
kinds grown here at nearly $780, 700.
II a foreign market" exists right at
home II may be wisdom to cater to 1t
instead of leaving it for the foreign
producer to supply.

WASHINGTON, July 7.-Today's

of the country's oldest political party,
since the present democratic party
claims to be the lineal descendant Of
the organization founded by Thomas
Jefferson. In his day 1t was known
as the republican or democratic-re

since the party assumed something
resembling its present form was in
1882, at Baltimore, when Jackson
was nominated by reclamation. The
conventions of 1914 and 1852 we e

from Saturday morning till Monday
morning has caused the st. Joe river
TO overflow its banks, resulting in con-
siderable destruction of property.
The water of Coeur d'Alene lake has
risen three feet and dwellings along
the entire length of the st. Joe river
nave had to be abandoned the people
taking refuge on the uplands. The
docks have been washed away.
This afternoon the rain was still fall

mill has been forced to close down
and operations along the river are at
standstill.
Lewiston, Idaho, will be isolated for
week. More than two miles of track
and many bridges have been washed
out on the line down Potlatch creek.
The Pine Creek Lumber company near
Kendrick has lost a 100000 dam and
more than 100000 feet of logs. At
Lewiston the Clearwater river is higher
than at any time in two years and
still rising.
All false work was washed from

and Navigation bridge, which, how
ever, still stands. Warm winds and

of the Snake and Clearwater rivers.

TWO BROUGHT HERE TO
FACE FORGERY CHARGES
Charles Moffitt and c. G. Adams Ar
rive from Oakland with Local
Officers-Face Serious
Accusations

Both charged with forgery and both
having surrendered to officers at Oak
land, though there is no connection
between their cases, Charles Moffitt
and C. G.. Adams were brought to Los
Angeles and placed in the city Jail last
night by Detectives Hosick and In
gram.
Moffitt, who is said to be a member
of a wealthy and prominent family,
secured ST. from the First National
bank, Los Angeles, on a check to
which was signed the name of Fred
Prince, agent of the Santa Fe at San
Francisco Rev P. H. Bodkin of Los
Angeles, an old friend of Moffitt's S
family, went with him to the bank
and identified him as the payee named
in the check. Mr.. Bodkin also in
dorsed the check, which was later re-
turned unpaid and declared a forgery.
AS indorser, Mr.. Bodkin reimbursed
the bank. and, failing in his efforts to
have the check redeemed, caused a
warrant to be issued charging Moffitt
with forgery
Adams is charged with forgery by
r. M. Armour, treasurer of the Graph
ite Sheet Lubricator company, by
which company Adams was formerly
employed. Fifty dollars is the amount
involved
