MINUS WIRELESS WONDER.

The s. S. Hilonian is as an ark with
out its dove and olive leaf, even as a
carrier pigeon without its message, for
she left yesterday for San francisco
without having aboard the wireless
operator who came down from the
Coast in her TO work the aerograph-
that is. as far as the wireless people
ashore are able to ascertain he is not
aboard. There was a report around,
just before the vessel sailed, that he
was celebrating his wireless novitiate
with wireless cocktails, a new beverage
which reaches the head before it
touches the stomach. He was not
aboard when the vessel left the wharf.
as far as anybody could observe, and
after the vessel got to sea and the
local wireless company was given SER
vice messages to put aboard and it was
found that the Hilonian could not
properly receive them, the conviction
grew that the young gentleman who
had come down to take up the opera
tor s work aboard the Matson boat had
remained ashore or else was not feel
ing well. A last effort at clock last
evening was made to reach the Hilo-
MAN, but no satisfactory connection
could be had.

HILoN1AN TAXES LEAD.

Both the Matson S. s. Hilonian and
the 2. N. s 3 Mongolia were SEIZED
uled TO sail at 10 o'clock yesterday
morning. the Crescent City's name
sake bound for San Francisco and the
- Magnolia, - as some of her water
front friends call her, being headed for
the Orient Only one big steamship
can enter or pass out OF, the channel at
one time, as the harbor is at present
shaped. and when it happens that
couple Of ocean liners are booked for
the same hour for their getaway it in
variably becomes a case of 81 insist
that you go first, my dear AIphonse, -
and CATER you, my dear CASTOR"
otherwise there would be a pretty jam
in the channel or Whereabouts In this
case, however, there was one feature
that lent the initiative to Captain
Peter johnson. the master of the
Hilonian. and that was that his boat
was nearer by a hundred fathoms or
more to the exit than was the ire
mendous Mongolia Besides it is ma
ture for the big dog to let the pup out
of the kennel first. Be that as it
might, the usually prompt Mongolia
was twelve minutes late in swinging
clear of the Hackfeld wharf on account
of the Hilonian getting free from the
foot of Nuuanu street ahead of her.
There was one thing sure, even if it
had been darkness unreieved by sin
gle ships hight, or impenetrable fog,
there could have been no accident, for
the Hilonian's whistle is something not
to be mistaken, and identified that yes

SONS ENTERTAIN VETERANS
YESTERDAY AFTERNOON AT THE
MEETING OF JOHN II.
MORGAN CAMP.

When Col. Sidney Suggs. who Is
both a veteran and son of veteran.
repeated the words to that grand old
song The Homespun Dress" tears
almost came to the eyes of the veter-
ans who were in attendance at tAe
camp meeting yesterday afternoon,
an. those who were not In the war
but whose fathers were in tn war
and whose mothers helped spin the
yarn and weave the cloth from whlyh h
the hOmespun dress was made felt
somewhat queer during the re- to
tion. The sons carried out e. pro-
gram yesterday afternoon dt the vet
Grams camp, Edwin l.. Deal, Mr. Heff.
ner and W. +. Gilmer. all sons made
speeches that rang with the true
southern spirit, and made the old fsl.
lows who suffered the tortures of hell
for four years feel proud Of the de-
sccndants Of their comrades ia arms.
The speeches made yester 'ay after.
noon were such as the veterans like to
hear, and every Sunday afternoon the
old fellows will have some of the sons
H. Hver them a ii . a. som. iO,,!c in
which they are interested. The vet
Grams themselves will occasionally re-
gale the sons with events that hap
pened on the march, in camp and dur.
ing battle 30 as the fire OF southern
patriotism may never die out in the
breast of the sons.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1908-04-27

tween the Arbucklc mountains and
the Red river there has been no snow
the past two years. not one flake
having been pcrceptiblc during the
past winter
1t is painfully evident that the
News in its intense patriotism for
gcttin gthc fertile field Of Oklahoma
from which II draws so much bust
ness. Is becoming aroused over the
fact that Oklahoma Is getting the
best class Of settlers and Is meeting
with far greater favor than Texas. by
making Oklahoma suffer in the public
prints every time the elements play
havoc in Texas the news apparently
hopes to minimize the great advan.
tage which Oklahoma now has over
Texas.
II the News will carefully STUDY sta.
tistics of wind storms IL will discover
that OklahOr has not suffered as
much In ten ears as every one OF
the states me. u med in the storm sto-
r!es have each year during that time.
The fact is that Oklahoma is not in
the cyclone belt and never has been.
The continued libolng of Oklahoma
cannot be productive Of other than
harmful results and it is to be
hoped that the News will see fit
TO change It's policy in this matter
TO conform with its general reputa-
tion for fairness and justice which
it has so long enjoyed in everything
