The event of Midway island is
the arrival of the supply schooner,
Florence Ward, four times a year
from Honolulu 1t is hard to imag-
inc the excitement of mail day, I'M
less one is cooped up on an island
like this. But alas, when the boat
departs, there is a depressing re-
action.
Excitement there has been on
Midway island, notably on the
Day of the Big Noise" Some years
ago there was a detail of United
States marines on the island, and
the magazine, with 800 rounds of
six inch shells and several thou
sand rounds of small arm ammuni-
ton caught fire. Think of this upon
an island only a mile and a half
long by half mile wide! Every
body sought cover, waiting for the
explosion. 1t came, but, miracu-
lOus to state, no one was hurt and
no damage was done to the station.
Another disturbance was the
Day of the Big Wind" The great
est hurricane recorded ON this
island seemed to threaten to odlit-
crate the station, but the founda-
tons withstood the waves. Super
intendent Colley has been gradually
reinforcing the sand of the island
with dykes and shrubs and long
rooted grasses so that in the future
no danger is anticipated. BY i'm
porting soil from Honolulu enough
ground has been secured for a gar
den, in which watermelons and to-
matoes and even lettuce is raised.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1909-02-10

There is no dearth of eatables.
There is a good cold storage plant,
in which meats and vegetables
brought from Honolulu are pre-
served, and the table is not en-
tirely dependent upon a canned
goods menu--witness the Christ
mas dinner. Among the items
were: Oyster cocktail, olives, rad
ishes, SQUAD on toast, roast turkey
with cranberry sauce, potatoes,
green peas, asparagus, sweet pota-
toes, plum pudding, mine pie and
champagne.
All in all, a year on Midway is
not an unenviable experience for a
person who is not too metropolitan
in his tastes. The mail only comes
once in three months, but we, the
residents, have the worlds news,
as 1t passes over the wires, before
it reaches the public of the state of
the orient. And that keeps alive
interest in the worlds affairs.

BY P. GRESLEY cox,
One of the twenty-One residents of
Midway island.

MIDWAY ISLAND, North Pacific
Ocean, Jan. 2.-How many people
in the United States ever heard of
Midway island? Yet Midway island,
unbeknown to them, plays quite an
important part in their daily life,
for the news of the world passes to
and fro over it's less than square
mile of expanse in the solitude of
the North Pacific ocean The sole
excuse for habitation of this DESC
late island is the location of a relay
station of the Commercial Pacific
Cable Co.
Only 81 people exist on this tree
less sand heap-10 whites, five Chi
nese house servants and six Japa
nese laborers. At the head of them
is B. w. Colley, the superintendent
and oldest inhabitant," who is as
sisted by five cable operators, a
staff physician, engineer and bat
teryman. And don't forget Mrs.
Colley. She is the only woman on
this remote island.
Life on Midway island may be
summed up in four words: Work
ing, sleeping, eating and playing.
The playing is the hardest part, be-
cause there is such lack of vari-
ETY. of diversion. What there is,
however, of play is unsurpassed,
notably the bathing and fishing.
There is sailing and tennis and an
attempt at golf. There is photog-
raphy. too, but it soon plays out,
as there is so little to photograph.
A monograph and pianola aid in
Willing away the tedium. But it
does become lonely, and the most
cheerful sometimes give way to the
blues. The average detail of service
on Midway island is about IA
months, but some find they can
stand 1t only six months. Superin-
tendent Colley and his wife have
been here six years, with one three
month vacation in the orient When
he came he had to live in a tent.

THEATER
SPOKANE

In "The Matchmaker" a three
act comedy drama by Jerrold
Shepard, Mr.. Sully is seen in the
role of Father DAILY, pastor of a
little church in raw western cat
tie town, where the community in
general has little use and scanty
tolerance for religion, and where
might is right in every sense OF
the word. Dramatically the play
is strong, although the element of
humor is so predominant that it
might be classified as a comedy.
1t is at the Spokane tonight and
tomorrow evening.
1.-THE Gutta Percha Girp' furnish
ed an excellent vehicle for the
amateur dramatic talent in the
city to shine last evening when the
play was presented before fash
ionable audience at the Spokane
theater. The cast reflected credit
on Miss Serruys, who directed and
coached the actors. Seth Richards
as Mr.. Hummingtop was the star
of the evening. The proceeds of
the entertainment are for st. Jo-
seph's orphanage.
