WINNIPEG, Manitoba, August a
The latest information from the scene
of the disastrous forest fire in British
Columbia, which wiped out the town
of Fernie on Saturday. is to the effect
that five thousand people are home
less. The fire has swept the country
clean along the Crows Nest Pass and
the Elk Valley for one hudnred miles.
and the list of the known dead reach
es one hundred. The loss will be at
least five million dollars.
The settlers and those who have been
living in Fernie are abandoning the
country. The coal mines are threat
ened by the fire, and the tunnel mouths
have been sealed up to prevent the
mines being set afre.
The forest fires are spreading, and
the flames have headed down the Elk

COUNTY GOVERNMENT, KAUAI ANSWER

The Advertiser has had an attack
of its nightmare again. In the early
hours of Tuesday morning the hideous
county government was haunting it's
dreams, and the shrieks Of pains were
heard in the composing room where a
foolish linotyper picked them up and
made an editorial of them.
The dreams were occasioned by a lot
of undigested rumors that all Hawaii
ans were going to combine in one
grand anti-haole vote on November
Ord next.
Leaving alone the fact that this
food was the pabulum manufactured
by the Advertiser for its customers
nine years ago, and that the stuff 1t
recommended as the only breakfast
food at that time it now denounces as
poison, there still remains the record
of the effect of it on the system as OBJ
served by that paper.
According to the Advertiser it was
the Weakening of the interest in poll
tics among the Hawaiians that brought
county government, in spite of it's
strenuous fight for oligarchy. The
first thing to arouse the voters and
make them work for change was the
open and apparently unchecked graft
practised among the officeholders in
Honolulu, graft which brought the
Territory into sucn financial straits
that for months it could not pay its
servants hundred cents on a dollar and
that in spite of the fact that the ad-
ministratlon at that time had the
handling of all the taxes collected in
the group, whereas now with only one
half at its disposal, the administration
not only pays it's employees in full but
gives the public more attention and
more improvements than was thought
of six or eight years ago.
The Advertiser holds up Hawaii as
an example of what misery county
government has brought to the Terri
tory. True the big island has been
unlucky at the mead of it's affairs dur
ing this term but the satisfaction OF
knowing that the voters can turn the
rascals out at the biennial election,

Oahu. but for the firm hand of It's
large responsible element, would long
ago have gone under the control of a
predaceous ring is the conclusion ar
rived by the Advertiser who evidently
has forgotten that it was one of the
principal workers who through county
elections broke up a predaceous ring
that has been equalled only once in
the history OF Hawaii.
When the Advertiser says that the
attempt to rally the Hawaiian votes
for the benefit of the Hawaiian race"
is a direct fruit OF the county govern
ment it again bears testimony to the
unreliabiltty OF its memory. It seems
to have forgotten that there ever was
a Home Rule party, or what the aim
and means OF such a party was, or that
it had it's origin under the old style
government, or that it was ruled as
absolutely Dy a small click as Tam
many ever was.
On the other hand the Advertiser ap-
parently has failed to observe that the
Hawaiian voters have learned a lot
since the days of the female-dog-tax
legislature They have, in the major
ity of instances, elected good men to
Offices without much reference to
whether they were haoles or Hawaii
ans, and agitators of one stamp or the
other are not likely to turn them into
a flock OF sheep again.-Garden Island.
