HAWAIIAN MAHOGANY
ATTRACTS ATTENTION

Apart from the miscalling of the Is
land of Hawaii as LA, the ohia tree
as ohea and Chief Pinchot as Pinchet.
besides prefxing the English abbrevia-
ton for mountain to the full name in
Hawaiian, the following item from
The Pacific, Berkeley and San Fran
cisco of March is interesting as
showing the attention the new lumber
industry of Hawaii is attracting on the
mainland:
Announcement is made at Milwau-
kee, Wisconsin, that the Hawaiian
Lumber Company, the temporary office
of which is in Chicago, is having
manufactured in Milwaukee machinery
for a large lumber mill to be erected
on the island of Tia, within sight of
Mt. Mauna Loa. The mill will turn
out railroad ties from the Hawaiian
timber, known as ohea. Experiments
conducted at Washington by Chief
Forester Pinehet have shown ohea to
De t}1irty-five points harder than the
best American white oak, which is the
standard tie timber. The Hawaiian
company has the timber rights of the
entire island of Ia, which is about so
by 40 miles in size. The mill will have
a capacity of about 5000 ties daily and
the company has a contract with one
Of the trunk lines of this country to
furnish 10000 ties per month for five
years When the supply of ohea is
exhausted the mill will be converted
into a mahogany mill Mahogany
grows on all of the Hawaiian islands.

GRAND JURY ACTION
D|sPLEAsEs JAPANESE

The wireless message received by the
Hawaii Shinpo on Friday regarding the
failure of the grand jury to indict Sam
Johnson, a Hawaiian, for the killing
of a japanese named Takahashi on
January 30, by kicking ,him off NOV
ing train, is exciting a considerable
stir among the japanese of Honolulu,
who are again saying among them
selves that in the eyes of the law it
is no crime to kill Japanese in Ha-
wall. Until further adviees are receiv-
ed from Maui, however, the leading
Japanese are advising their country
men not to voice their complaint too
loudly.
The death of Takahashi, according
to the story which reached Honolulu
at the time, followed a fight between
him and Sam Johnson on one of the
trains of the Lahaina plantation. the
two struggling between the cars. The
Japanese was finally thrown and fell
between the cars to the ground, cav
ing himself from being ground to death
under the wheels by clinging to a
chain. Johnson, instead of helping him
ut of danger, however, deliberately
kicked at his hand until he had to
let go and be run over. This was
Witnessed by Japanese woman, ac-
cording to her statement at the time.
who reported the matter at the Japa-
nese camp.
The japanese there grew much ex-
cited, so much so that trouble was
feared and policemen We're stationed
among them to preserve order. The
Japanese quieted down, however, upon
being assured that Johnson would be
placed under arrest and an investiga-
ton into Takahashi's death made by
the coroner. Johnson was eventually
held for the grand jury, but no bill
was found in his case.

CHINESE MEET
THEIR NEW CONSUL

good thing But I would like also to
see a Chinese Commercial Club. similar
to the American one here in Honolulu.
1t could promote business interests IN
many ways. More Chinese education
is also needed. Our young Chinese are
working hard with their English
. studies which is good, but they should
work more to learn Chinese. 1t is very
important. I am glad to be here and
see you, and thank you for this kind
reception You have prepared"
After another piece by the band, the
president of the society invited Rev.
E. w. Thwing to say few words. He
made a short speech in Chinese, greet
ing the new consul.
MR.. THwING's SPEECH.
'It is great pleasure to be present
today at this reception to the new Chi
nese Consul General for Hawaii, and
add my welcome to that of my Chinese
friends. With SO many of my wiser
Chinese brothers here. I hardly dare to
speak, but still wish to improve the
opportunity, to say just a few words.
when living in China, it was a treat
to read from your philosophers, Hung
Flu Tsz, Mang Tsz, Lao Tsz, and Tsang
Tsz; but today we have a 'Tsang Tsz'
here among us. Mr.. Tsang, may you
have the wisdom, like that worthy
philosopher of old, in helping all the
Chinese of Hawaii.
There are two duties that come be-
fore each one of us, duty to. Hawaii
and a duty, to China. We must work
for the good and prosperity of the
1-A
do all we can for the advancement and
upbuilding of China. If the Chinese in
Hawaii are faithful to their present
opportunity, they can do much to in
1uence and help on, the great middle
kingdom.
I'VE all want to see more of the Chi
nese coming to Hawaii. Let US all
work heartily together for it. Put
away small differences, and work earn
estly and unitedly for this important
object. which will benefit all. With
best wishes to our new Chinese Con-
sui. Mr.. Tsang. and q sincere hope
that his stay in Honolulu may be
pleasant, and result in added prosper
itv to all the Chinese community OF
Hawaii | again express my pleasure
at being with you today
All then adjourned to the dining
hall. where a good lunch was served
in the usual generous style of the Chi
nese.
Mr.. Tsang Hoi, the new consul. is a
pleasant. intelligent gentleman of near

is welcomed heartily by the Chinese
of Honolulu. He has been invited TO
visit some of the fine government pub-

There will be some lively baseball at

The first game will start at 1870
o'clock and will be between the ORR

The Asahis have improved of late,
and with Tsuji in the box and Harry

to play all they knew in order to Sc
cure the verdict.
The second game will be between the
Aalas and the Chinese Alohas. Both
mines are evenly matched, but Sam

he has a shade on his opponents.
Both games will be played under the
auspices of the Riverside Junior Base

Quoting Scripture.

The following is taken from the editorial columns of the Fcrt Wayne (Ind.) Journal Gazette:
 i The New York World has published , pamphlet against William ]. Bryan. and heads its list of reasons why MT. Bryan should lay down the party isassrseip with this quotation from scriptures:
 And every one that was in distress. and every one tha. was in debt. and every one that was discontented gath cred themselves unto him; and he became captain gyer them; and 1 there were with him about Tor hun | dred men.-I. Samuel. xxll. ?.
 The parsonage mentioned in the quotation is. as everyone knoxs. David. the son Of Jesse. and just why the New York World should hold him up as warning to Mir Byran is past comprehension. Indeed. the prophets of Byanism could find nothing from cover to cover of the Good Book that so aptly fits MT. Bryan's case. nothing in the wide range of literature or history, sacred CT profare. that forms more striking parallel, CT what is more, justifies more sanguine hope of Mir Bryan's ultimate triumph.
 There are good many people who are in distress. millions who are in debt fand msre going broke every day1, milliens who are discontented under trust rule. and they have indeed gathered themselves unto William ]. Bryan, and he has become a captain aver them.
 But the World sho4'd have pursued the subject further, and have recount ed what the captain and his four hun dred did, It's all in the beck of Samuel, too. Like Bryan touring the world and returning welcomed as no American had b.en welcomed, David returning from his wanderings. and here is what he and his four hundred did:
 And David smote them from the twilight even unto the evening of the next day L Samuel XXX. 17.
 And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away. l. Samuel. xxx, IS.

Holding Cotton.

Said a cotton holder in Brinkley this week ,"I'm getting tired of waiting for Sets for my cotton
 So it is with a number of others who have been holding back waiting for the<l5 cts. price. The shoe is be- ginning to pinch now, and 1t is pinch ing harder all the time.
 A certain farmer of the Brinkley territory who has held 9 or 10 bales of cotton since early last season finds himself now in an unsatisfactory fix. He owes his merchant, who in the goodness of his heart has waited. Both farmer and merchant need the money and both look just little blue when they think of the slim chances of getting Is cts, for the cotton they have held and which they can scarcely find buyer for at 10 cts. The farm CT refused l2 cents pound for the cotton hack wonder in the fall. The cotton men tell him now that he will never have another opportunity Of that kind. There is no market at all in Brinkley and but little anywhere else The Union people claim that they will win out however and that all who are game enough to hold on 10 their cot ton will get the l5ct price. The cot ton men however claim that the Union will loose out and that if they hold the supply few months longer that the price of the next crop will open up at Bets as the present indications are that there will be tremendous crop. The panic has thrown out hundreds of thousands of people and makes labor easy to get and cheap and this tcgeth- CT with general tendency for big crop will bring prices down in real slump. so they claim.
 So it goes and as is usually the case the farmer is left with the bag to hold. If they should fail in their efforts to- hold for $ cents, the immense loss that will acrue to the thousands of farmers who have held their cotton will be crushing in its effect through out the South.
