R|vENBURGH, MAYOR
FERNS NEW SECnET iRY

The successor to Charles L. Rhodes
as secretary to Mayor Fern has been
chosen and his name is Bertram 6. Riv-
enburgh.
Mayor Fern decided to appoint Riven-
burg yesterday and put an end to the
perplexing question that has been keep
ing a number of applicants busy ever
since Mr.. Rhodes decided to accept a
position offered him by Dr. Hartland
Law of San Francisco.
Rivenburgh is an experienced man
and it is believed that he will make a
satisfactory successor to Mr.. Rhodes.
Rivenburgh was formerly an assistant
clerk to the Senate committee on For
eign Affairs and also served in clerical
capacity with the Peace Commission that
effectuated the terms of settlement with
the Spanish government at session in
Paris
Rivenburgh has been in the Territory
since the San Francisco earthquake, and
was formerly employed at Waialua
plantation as a boOkkeeper. 1t Is be-
lieved that his services in connection
with the Peace Commission will be of
value to the new secretary when the
Mayor has strained relations with the
Board of Supervisors.

Woman Strikebreaker in Paw Line

If you want to see fifteen hundred
men of almost every nationality known
IN Honolulu, save japanese, come in
from the plantation at the close of day,
dirty, hungry, and above all anxious to
receive their pay envelopes containing
$50 each, go down to the Oahu Rail
road depot any afternoon between $50
and 6 clock. It is one of the most
unusual sights ever witnessed in Homo
lulu, and is due only to the fact that
the japanese laborers on Aiea, Waipahu
and Eva plantations struck for higher
wages and that some are still striking
Few people had any idea that a call
for strikebreakers would bring a horde
of two thousand men clamoring at the
railroad gates at 4 clock in the morn
ing each more than anxious to get
ticket which would give him a ride
to the plantation and entitle him at
the end of the day work in the sugar
cane fields and mill to a ride back home
and $3.50 cash. But they are there
every morning-Hawaiians Portuguese,
Spanish, Chinese, Koreans. Porto
Ricans, negroes, Filipinos, Americans
well, it is difficult to enumerate the
many nationalities
When the work train arrives in town,
it is halted beyond the edge of the
shed, and head men among them or
ganize three long lines extending FAR
down the yard. The police are on hand
with a fire rope. AS there are three
sets of tracks running into the shed

walks between, and over these walks
the three lines of men go with splendid
discipline. 1t is not entirely discipline,
but the result of almost a month IS ex
perience in falling into the pay line
At the opposite end of the shed the
three gates are partially opened AMI

ISLAND FRUITS To BE
CROWN FOR PORTLAND

Portland Oregonian.-F'ruits and
in Hawaii for the Portland market.
There is a continuous 12-month grow
ing season in the islands and all the
planters need to know is the date
that the produce is to be delivered,
and they plant accordingly. Summer
or winter makes no difference, the
vegetables and fruit will grow as well
at one time of the year as another.
F. E. Haley, of the Honolulu Pine
apple Company, is now in this city,
having completed arrangements for
the regular marketing of Hawaiian
produce here Mr.. Haley is engaged
in building up the pineapple trade
primarily, but he and his associates
will also handle other lines. particu-
1arly bananas, sweet potatoes, alliga-
tor pears, manages and vegetables.
A large shipment OF red sweet po-
tatoes is now on the way and viii be
here in a few days The company's
pineapples are well known on this
market.
What Mr.. Haley's company pro-
poses to do is to supply this market
with produce that otherwise would be
unreasonable. When the California
sweet potato season ends he will be-
gin shipping them here from Homo
Iulu Tomatoes. peppers and all
kinds of summer vegetables viii be
sent here in the winter time. Green
corn is now coming over from the
islands.
The company has just established
q plant at San Francisco where the
Hawaiian produce is repacked for the
other coast markets, and Mr.. Haley
hopes to put up such a plant here, as
the Northwest markets will be sup
piled from Portland
A direct steamer line between Port
land and Honolulu would be of great
benefit to the business and there is
talk of such a line being put on be-
fore long. At present, Portland gets
it's island shipments in a roundabout
way, but even with this handicap the
business is growing.

SCHOOL TEACHERS TO LEAVE.

While no word has been received
here by the agents as yet, the Canadian
Australian liner Aorangi was due to
sail from Sydney for Suva, en- route to
Honolulu, yesterday. A cable is ex-
pected to this effect today. Notwith-
standing the fact that probably but
few viii be able to secure accommoda-
tons to the Northwest on this boat
from here. there are nearly $50 people
booked for the voyage. The. great ma
.iority of these are school teachers, who
desire to spend part of their vacation
at the Alaska YukOn-P Pacific Exposition.
The requests for reservations have come
from all the various islands. Ii is quite
probable that some one will get fooled
in the matter of securing stateroom
on this boat. as the travel is expected
to be pretty heavy from Australia
about this time. This is the last trip
Of the Aorangi on the British Columbia,
via Honolulu run.

and died an hour later.
Mrs. LaBake vas still breathing

travelling salesman, returned home on
saturday. Every effort was made to
keep the news of his wife's death from
him, and until Sunday he was ignorant
Of the fact tina his wife had died less
than ten hours before he arrived home.
The family took every precaution to
keep the cause OF the woman's death

AMERICAN GIRL TO BE
VICE-QUEEN OF IRELAND.
Lady Granard Will Help Hus-
band Rule.

LONDON. Nov. 29.-Lord Granard,
w-.o married Miss Beatrice Mills. OF
New York, not very long ago, will sue
ceed the Earl of Aberdeen as Lord
Lieutenant of Ireland if the Liberal
party is returned to power at the next
general elections.
In that event, to bring about the
earl's appointment. it may be neces-
sary to put through Parliament a spe-
cial act making a Roman Catholic
eligible TO be Ireland's viceroy. AS the
law stands only a Protestant can oc-
cupy that post.
But with a Liberal majority it will
be easy to get the special legislation.
So another American woman may be
a vicereine, as Lady Curzon was in
India. And if Lord and Lady Granard
are installed in the viceregal lodge in
Dublin King Edward viii visit Ireland
next summer. The present viceroy's re-
luctance to entertain on a magnificent
scale is really the eason why his
majesty has not visited ireland oftener
of late.
