Prof. E. G. Bishop, deputy state
superintendent OF public i%nstruc-
ton has announced that the ION
vention of the Nebraska Boys
agricultural society and the Ne
braska Girls Domestic Science
association, will meet in Omaha,
December IL during the National
Corn exposition. More boys and
girls in Nebraska are interested IN
these associations and the work
they are doing than ever before
aud the most conservative esti-
mates place the number who will
attend the meetings of the young
people in Omaha at between $500
and 1900.
The opportunity offered of at
tending the meetings and at the
same time seeing the National
Corn Exposition is an unusual
one. as 1t will show the young
people what it is possible to ac-
complish along agricultural and
industrial lines of education. They
will see the results of the work
they are doing in advance, as i,
were, and the exposition viii
doubtless be an inspiration TO the
bows and girls of Nebraska.
Prof. Bishop also announced
thirty-four counties in Nebraska
have now arranged for local con-
tests and lectures and the Univer.
sity of Nebraska hes detailed q
number of competent judges tc
assist in handling the local con-
tests. From the prize corn in the
different contests, the counties
will select their samples for entry

GOING To FOREIGN LANO
FOR SUPPLY OF BANANAS

| SAN FRANCISCO, January 19.-If
the plans of the men behind the Amer
lean fruit company produce expected
results the region around Acapulco,
Mexico, will be turned into a vast ba-
mana grove for the private use of the
people of the Pacific coast, while San
Francisco and not New Orleans will
become the entry port for the millions
of punches of that fruit which are con-
sumed by Americans every year. On
the steamer Isle chartered from a Ger
man firm, a party of thirty men are
to leave San Francisco Tuesday to
start work on the 10000 acre Laguna
de Questa plantation near Acapulco.
N. Thompson, a. merchant of Seattle.
who is now at the St Francis. is en-
thusiastic over the chances his COM
pany has of putting the United fruit
company out of the western banana
business.
With the party will go a number of
engineers, who are to build the docks,
railroads and telephone and telegraph
lines which the concessions from the
Mexican government permit the COM
pany to construct. In order to get the
fruit to this country in its own ships
the company has chartered half dozen
vessels, which will be ready to begin
transporting two million punches of
bananas a year, which the company
expects to produce in a few years. Two
and a half millions of dollars already
have been invested in land and mate
rials for building the railroad which
will connect the plantation with the
shores of Laguna de Questa, where the
company's scows will receive the fruit
for transportation to Acapulco.
The Isle, on which the party leaves
this port, has been fitted up as fruiter
and the members of the party look for
ward to the two months trip to, the
banana lands of Mexico with a great
deal of pleasure. Among those who
are to make up the party are NJ.
Thompson of Seattle; w. R. Palmer,
superintendent of the Northern Pacific
railroad; T. F. RYAN, formerly Of the
Central mill company of Seattle, but
now the general manager of the new
company, and Arthur Gamwell of Seat

UNCLE SAM RECEIVES
GRATU|TOUs SERVICE

Territorial Surveyor W. E. Wall
sends to Washington by the outgoing
mail the tide sheets taken here for
the past six months. This is in the
line Of voluntary work for the United
States Coast and Geodetic Survey,
which for some time has been without
a representative here. A member of
the departmental staff who looks after
the work is allowed a concession of
time in office hours for the early morn
ing hour at which he takes the tide
sheets.
Whenever a shipwreck or an earth
quake on this hemisphere is reported
to Washington, an inquiry is cabled to
the Hawaiian Survey Department for
information of any phenomena that
may have been observed here which
might have a bearing on the event.
1t would seem strange that Uncle
Sam, looking so we'll after the other
Federal services in Hawaii, should al
low the position of surveyor of the
Coast and Geodetic Survey to remain
so long vacant. There ought to be a
lot of interesting work for that SER
vice along the greatly diversified
coasts of these islands.

FRIENDS DESTROY
RASCAL RECORD

The following from the San Fran
cisco Examiner of January 10 does
an injustice to the pluck of the late
James Campbell. Starving for days
with threats of killing at intervals
failed to make him sign the checks:
Some one, according to the investi-
cations of Detective Sergeant Ed Glib
son, head of the Identification bureau
of the police department, has been
tampering with the records of the
bureau. Just who it is Gibson does
not know, but an investigation will
be undertaken with the object of dis
covering the guilty party.
The picture of Oliver Winthrop, SEN
fenced to life imprisonment at Folsom
for torturing aged millionaire James
Campbell for his money in 1896, has
been removed from the rogues' gallery
of the police department. In addition,
all of the record of Winthrop, written
upon the books in ink, has been care
fully expunged with acids.
So far as the local records are con-
cerned there is no evidence that Win
throp was ever sentenced to Folsom.
Winthrop at the time of his arrest
was sexton of Laurel Hill cemetery.
He boasted many influential friends.
He was arrested by the late Chief of
Police Isaiah Lees, who suspected that
Winthrop knew something of the dis
appearance of James Campbell, a
wealthy Hawaiian, who had been
spirited away Campbell was sub
found almost dead from tor
lures inflicted by Winthrop, who had
tried to force him to sign checks for
nearly $4,000.
Winthrop was found guilty and SEN
fenced by Judge Wallace to life i'm
Recently, he has been
active in endeavors to secure pardon,
and to commence life again with his
prison history blotted from the record
This erasure of the records and re-
moval of the picture of Winthrop is a
bold attempt to efface from
San Francisco files the record of this
man." said Detective Gibson. "The
picture was removed since the fire.
but by whom and just at what time
we are not able to state.
Friends of Winthrop, I understand,
are endeavoring to secure his pardon.
1t is possible that some of these have
been instrumental in this offense in
order that Winthrop might leave
prison without leaving behind his
and record in the rogues'
gallery here in San Francisco, his old
home.
The picture will be replaced by one
from the rogues' gallery of the Oak !
and police department"

LAYING CORNERSTONE \
Of NEW HIGH SCHOOL

There will be ceremonious laying
of the cornerstone of the new High
School building on the first day of
March. 1t will be under the auspices
of the High School Alumni Association,
the Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton, W. H. Babbitt, having cordially
fallen in with the proposition.
Robert King, president of the asso-
citation, when seen about the program
at the Survey office yesterday, stated
that the matter would be considered at
a meeting of the Alumni on Friday,
the seventh of February. His idea was
to have a meeting of the association
with<the present pupils of the High
School and have committees appoint
ed from both association and school
to carry out the arrangements as they
may be decided upon.

CAPTAIN UNDERWOOD
MAKES EXPLANATION

CFrom Wednesdays Advertiser.)
81 have been master for eight years
and have sailed about these islands
for the past thirty years and have
many friends here. On that account!
cannot allow one portion of the deci-
sion given in the Admiralty Court in
the recent case against the schooner
Robert Levers to pass without scme
denial" said Captain E. r. Under
wood, yesterday. 1.-The facts of the
matter were so different to what has
been inferred by the court that in
justice to myself I wish to state them
again.
The portion of the decision referred
to by Captain Underwood, as publish
ed in the Advertiser yesterday, is:
1.-THE manner of the master toward
him on the morning of the 9Th of Octo-
Der has all the appearance of insolence.
No occasion appears in the evidence
why the master of the ship at that
time should have started out to pick a
quarrel with this subordinate officer,
using his superior authority to snub
him and put him at a disadvantage, to
refuse to give him any hint as to what
he required or what work he should
attend to, and then to disrate him to
the position of a common seaman. 1t
is not to be presumed that libelant was
an ideal mariner, few such are met
with; but that he was so deficient that
the disrating was justifiable does not
appeae in this case"
Now the facts of the case are" ex-.
planned Captain Underwood, that al
though the man was thoroughly in
competent, so much so that 1 had
practically to stand his watch during
the twenty days he acted as second
mate. there was no quarrel between
US, no loud words and no trouble what
ever. On the morning after the twen-
tieth day, when l came on deck at
daylight / made the land. The man
was on watch but had not reported it
and in fact was only shirking his duty
as he had on all the voyage. Then
I went to him and gave him his choice
of either attending to his work lik4 a
man or going forward. 1 gave him the
choice and he vent forward without
word
I'm his own evidence he never denied
this and 1 am at a loss to know upon
what the court decided that I had
picked a quarrel or been insolent The
man was thoroughly incompetent, in
different to his duty and untrust-
worthy as a seaman. 1 had to do as
did or I would not have been doing
my own duty to my owners"

They were escorted to the White

CANADIAN AUSTRALIAN
LINE FOR SAN FRANCISCO

The Colonist of Victoria of January
II, contains the following:
"Since the recent withdrawal of the
Canadian subsidy to the Capadian-
Australian line there have been many
! liam service. One is that, unless the
decision to withdraw the subsidy is
reconsidered an arrangement will be
made TO include San Francisco in the
ports OF call. There>are now two regu-
/ lar lines of freight steamers which ply
to British Columbia and Puget Soun /
from Australia and New Zealand one
maintained by Andrew Weir & Co. in
arrangement with the Howard Smith
Company, of Australia, under the
name of the Australian Mail line,
which gives a montaly freight service
and a regular freight service with
chartered steamers maintained by j.
]. Moore & Co. The steamer Oriana,
now on the way to this port and Van
couver with large cargo from Aus
tralia including the largest consign-
ment of frozen mutton ever sent to
British Columbia consigned to P.
Burns & Co., is stated to be the first
steamer of another service to connect
this coast with the antipodes to be
known as the Commonwealth line
These all include San Francisco. The
majority of the steamers were placed
in service since the abandonment of
the Oceanic line from San Francisco.
Following the withdrawal of the
Oceanic line, which connected San
Francisco with Australia via Honolulu.
Apia and Auckland, it is reported from
San Francisco that an arrangement is
pending whereby the Oceanic COM
pany's steamers running to Tahiti will
connect at the French island port in
the South Pacific with steamers from
Australia and New Zealand. The Uni
ted States consul general at Auckland
in a recent report to his government
writes at length of the opportunities
for gaining New Zealand trade, which
is now being lost to the United States
fas result of the discontinuanc= of
the Oceanic service, and he says:
IF the United States wishes to Sc
cure the important advantages men
toned it should act before a permanent
satisfactory service shall have been es-
tablished via Vancouver. New Zealand
Is not getting the accommodation 1t
needs, for the Vancouver service is
slow, does not touch at Auckland. and
mail connections have to be made via
Fiji outward and Sydney inward. Since
the withdrawal of the Oceanic line
there have been many complaints from
the merchants of Auckland and other
parts of New Zealand. Now that the
boats have been taken off it is real
lied that more strenuous efforts should
have been made to retain the service.
That the merchants of Auckland are
anxious for a better mail servic. as
soon as possible was evidenced at
recent meeting of the Auckland Cham
Der of Commerce. A motion was car
ried that the chairman be empowered
in the name of the chamber to make
representations to the government in
the direction of securing an improved
service"
"A service such as has been describ-
ed, making it possible to make the vow
age from London to Auckland in twen-
ty-six days, and from San Francisco
to Auckland in sixteen DAYS. would
have to be subsidized to guarante. the
owners from losing money at the
start"
