per pound for the wool raised. This
rule secures to the wool growers an
equitable distribution of the stock
and provides a sufficient capital for
the needs of the company. The re-
mainder of the stock is subscribed for
by business men of the city of Chica-
go, among whom is ]. A. Spoor, one of
the wealthiest and must successful
business men of that city.
The stock held by sheep growers
entities the holder to ship 5000 to 5000
pounds of wool for every share of
stock owned by him, but this privi-
lege is not accorded the stock held IN
Chicago, so that if western grower
were to buy any of the stock issued to
Chicago interests, it would not be to
his advantage, as he could not ship
his wool at the storage price of cent
per pound.
Approximately four-fifths of the en-
tire stock has already been subscrib-
ed, and many subscriptions are being
received adily. Applications for stock
and information are coming in from
wool growers in Indiana, Missouri,
Iowa, and other central states, the
writer's claiming that the present
methosd of disposing of their wool in
those states are even more unsatis-
factory than those in the intermoun-
tain states.
| The subscription lists will undoubt-
eddy close April Is, whether the total
J amount is subscribed or not. 1t is be-
coming evident to every wool grower
that shareholder in the new company
will be in a stronger position and
more likely to secure a price nearer
the value of his wool when offering il
for sale at home, than one who is moi
a subscriber Many growers who have
sold, realizing an advance in price
through the establishment of this
warehouse, have subscribed for stool
since selling, and there appears to b.
no intention on the part of sharehold
ers to forfeit their stock in case the.
sell their wool, but to pay the SAM
storage price and hold their. stock fol
the same advantage the coming year.
A large proportion of the subscrib
ers who have sold their wool reside
in Utah, and many of them now regre
their sales. The progressive sheel
owners of the state of Idaho largel!
took the lead in the establishment o
this company, and the largest and bes

The governor has not appointed the
state veterinarian yet, owing to oppo-
sition that has come up against DR..
Noble, the present incumbent and an
applicant for re-appointment. His ad-
ministration has been severely criti-
cized in all parts of the state, by the
farmers and stockmen. The Idaho
Wool Growers have taken the matter
up, and will try to have some one else
appointed. Numerous charges are
made against Noble. We understand
that the state veterinary board has
recommended his re-appointment, ow-
ing to the fact that he did some things
under its instruction. 1t would prob
ably be for the best interests OF all
concerned to get a new man. A man
who has brought on the emnity of the
stockmen will have a hard time filling
the position acceptably. Governor
Brady should find a better man for
the position.

VICTIM OF SUN VAT SEN.

Nobua Kato, captain of infantry.
aged 30. has been relieved of his Office
on the ground that he was found to be-
in conspiracy with the Chinese revo-

days Kato was looked upon as a
bright youth, being gifted with a clear
head and energetic spirit. After ieav-
ing the Military Cadet School he was
appointed sublieutenant in 1901, and
two years later promoted to lieutenant

Russo-Japanese War he was promoted

to have been a radical change in his
character soon after his marriage. He
became addicted to a loose life and

ADMIRAL UR|U's ADVICE
To LOCAL JAPANESE

Vice Admiral Baron Uriu, speaking
to the staff of the Shinpo yesterday
morning, said that he thoroughly be-
lieved in the policy of that paper adj
vocating industrial peace and racial
assimilation. Among other things, he
said:
Assimilation means expansion; with
out it, our eountrymen must be shut
in in small island empire. Assirni-
late with the people wherever you go
and do it thoroughly. Why do you
think of sending Lack your children to
your home country? II they grow up
to. be honest and respectable citizens
elsewhere, that is enough. They are
doing their real duty.
Liberty and equality are all right
in school books. but often they are
not practicable in all places and at
all times. Be patient. and aspire 10
cause yourselves to be treated equally
and with respect by Others
The admiral met the members of
the Shinpo staff and was well pleaced
with the newspaper offices. He said.
I have great confidence in you, gem
tlemen. You ought to be able to shape
the policy of the resident Japanese
and steer them toward a peaceful as
similation.'

CAPTAIN GOODWIN RELATES
TALE OF EVENTFUL VOYAGE
OF THE BIG SHIP DIRlGO

after that. OF course, the first ill.luck
, which befeH us was when we ran into
| the gale which delayed us off Cape
Henry, thus forcing us to go to sea on
| Friday.
During the terrific wind and the
| heavy sea which came up, the ship
rolled from side to side, creaking and
grooming, and, owing to the cross seas
the other from the southward-the
was a nasty situation.
At four p. m. on November the
carpenter came to me and reported that
| the ship was leaking. He also said that
there was great quantity of water in
the hold. | Immediately went down
in the lower hold, through the lazaret
hatch and found the water rushing in
through crack in plate twelve feet
under water. To stop this, if possible,
[ made pad out of cotton batting,
soaked it in white lead, and placed it
over the crack. Then, over this,
fastened a plank that wedged it in
and stopped the great part of the in
flow of water.
aThere was not any water in the
hold when the pumps were sounded at
eight o clock that morning, but, when
we had stopped the leak, we found that
the hold contained two and one-half
feet of the brine which had poured in.
Perhaps you think I WASH t thankful
that the leak was where / could get
at it! The crack was twelve inches
long, and if it had been in place
impossible for me to reach, doubt
very much if the pumps could have
kept the ship on the top of the water.
aWell, we pumped out. as much OF
the water as we could, and then I took
up the floor and hoisted the rest up
through the lazaret hatch, using big
oil-drums to do the work. We were
two days getting all of that water out
of the ship. AS the leak was so far
aft, thought at first that could build
bulkhead, fill it in with cement, stop
the leak, and keep on my voyage. /
worked on this scheme for several days,
but in spite of all we could do-and
we left nothing undone that we could
possibly think of-the water continued
to force its way through and wash the
cement away. We bad to hoist from
forty to fifty barrels of water out of
the hold every day.
$50 it seemed that / could do moth
ing, and I decided to go into Rio for
repairs. Two days after the gale we
sighted the Acme with her foretopgal-
liant mast gone. She had had a taste
of the medicine which the elements had
been giving us.
ssThe following Friday-fateful day
we had another gale, accompanied by
thunder and lightning. During this the
ship was struck by lightning, the fore
skysail mast receiving the blow. Be
sides splintering this mast, considerable
other damage was done, but we consid-
cred ourselves lucky TO escape as we
did, Between the parallels of 80 de-
grees and 20 degrees north we had
continuation of thunder and lightning
and squalls of hurricane force.

an unusually large comet which seemed
to be standing on its head. 1t had

before finally deciding whether or not
to join the strike by tying up the plan
tation.
The "strike breakers take their
lunch with them from town and are
brought back to town at the close of
the days labor, being paid every day
for their toila As stevedoring work is
not plentiful along the waterfront just
now there is little trouble in picking
up all the labor needed for the work
now in hand. Mayor Fern, who is about
as closely in touch with the laboring
element as any one, was asked to let
the Hawaiians who want work, know
where they could obtain it. In this
way the supply has been steady.
The work at Aiea, therefore, has been
picked up and the cane is going toward
the mill and grinding is going on as
before.
Mead and Jarrett.
r. D. Mead of the Planters Associa-
ton and Sheriff Jarrett went down the
! line yesterday to look over the situa-
ton, the Sheriff taking look at the
topography of the country SO as to ac-
quaint himself with the location of the
various camps where the laborers are
quartered.
On Cash Basis.
When the strike was started at Aiea
| and Waipahu the japanese storekeep-
ers at once began doing business with
| the strikers on cash basis. A reason
for this was that one of the big mills
!, of Honolulu which re-sacks Japaneie
rice and sends it down in patches OF
hundred bags at a time, required cash
| from the storekeepers before they
would send new supplies The strikers
will be required to pay as they go along
and in this way it is easy to figure
when they will come to the end of theil
purse strings, and look to Maxine and
Negoro to supply the deficiency of food
; etc.
Lured by Promises.
| A Japanese laborer from Aiea, who
was in town yesterday, stated that he
! was at the end of his resources already
and many more were in the same pre-
dicament. However, he said that he
and they would look to Maxine to sup
ply them, as they had understood Ma
kino to say that he was worth about
$4,000 and could see the matter
through while the strike was in prog
ress. If individual demands begin to
come upon Maxine, the list is sure to
lengthen out and the strikers will have
ample opportunity to judge whether
Maxine IS "$40,000' is tangible or not.

Struck by lightning, which shatter-
ed the foreskysail mast into splinters,
and springing a dangerous leak below
the water line that forced her to make
port for repairs at Rio Janeiro, the
big ship Dirigo, which arrived here
yesterday with 1853 tons of coal for
Uncle Sam. has had such an eventful
passage that her skipper, Captain
George William Goodwin, declares
that he will never make another voy-
age around Cape Horn. The Dirigo is
one of the finest ships afioat, but Cap
tain Goodwin states that it will take
more than money to induce him to
another such experience as he has
just passed through.
A story of terrific gales, thunder
storms Illuminated by flashes of light
ming, and bad weather almost from the
beginning of the long voyage away
back in October, 1908, until she ar
tiNCd mere Is W4dL Tie
Dirigo brought. Hurricanes in which
a smaller vessel would, in all proba-
bility, have gone to the bottom were
encountered. Mountainous seas that
washed the decks and made the vessel
almost unmanageable became a part
of the daily budget of events. But
through it all the old Dirigo stood up,
and yesterday morning she was sight
ed off Diamond Head. being towed to
her berth at the Channel wharf late
last evening.
Captain Goodwin tells the tale of his
eventful trip in few words, with the
exciting details left out. He does not
tell all he might of the steadfast labor
that was performed at the pumps
when the vessel was leaking badly, nor
does he waste words in the descrip-
ton of the incident when a bolt of
lightning shot from the sky and, in
the twinkling of an eye, converted
what had been a fine piece of SAIL
carrying timber into million tiny
splinters. Things like these Captain
Goodwin doesn't wall over; but they
were enough, however, to make him
declare that, after over half hun
dred trips around the Horn, he'll
never make another one.
I'VE left Baltimore" said Captain
Goodwin, ION October 26, 1908. Owing
to heavy gale which was blowing
from the eastward, We anchored at
Cape Henry and did not proceed to
sea until the following Friday. We
then sailed in company with the ship
Acme. which was hnIJ0d for San
Francisco, for considerable time. Of
course, we stuck on canvas and tried
to show a clean pair of heels to each
other. For several days we were to-
gether. with strong west and north
west winds blowing all the time.
"On Friday. November 6, we had
a heavy gale from southeast to south
west. during which we lost several
sails and, incidentally, left the Acme
behind. The loss of those sails was
merely the beginning of our troubles,
however. for things came in punches

Fires at EVA Plantation.

Fires at Eva Plantation.
The following statement issued yes
terday by E. D. Tenney, president of
Eva plantation, discloses pertinent
speculation with regard to two mysteri-
Gus fires which started on Eva planta-
ton after midnight yesterday morning
but which, fortunately, were extinguish
ed before much damage was done. just
how these fires started, or who was re-
sponsibIe for them, does not yet ap-
pear. Mr.. Tenney's statement follows:
. During the greater part of yester-
day and last night the laborers we're
holding meetings-the indication seems
to be that their original plan of. form
ulating demands, to be submitted to
the management, and then returning to
work on Monday, will be carried out.
This despite the efforts of rough ele-
ment, resident on the kuleanas in the
Honolulu valley, who have, I under
stand, endeavored to the utmost extent
to influence the laborers to refrain from
returning to work.
3'Last night at IL O'Clock there was
a fire in Field No. 20 and later, at
a. M, in Field No. 11--both of these
fires were put out promptly by the
people living near. The area burned

/ an acre altogether. I am very doubt
) full if plantation laborers set these fires,
although it is very significant to note
that both of these fields are plantation
fields; that is, not fields cultivated by
contractors, and hence none of the la
borers have any direct financial inter
est in them. -
Strike Breakers Plentiful.
Strike breakers are plentiful and the
plantations are having no trouble secur
ing men in town at $3.50 per day te
take the places of the striking Japa
nese laborers. On Friday nearly three
hundred men went to Aiea, and
yesterday morning two trains were
used to transport reinforcements. A,
a. m. yesterday a special left fol-

men, including Hawaiians, Porto Ricans

more will be sent down, and at the
same time it is expected that a draft
of ''breakers'' win be sent to Wal
pahu. On Monday the japanese of EVA

day for ga holiday" as they expressed
it, are expected to go back to work

WHY He Was In College.

A student of the University Of
Wisconsin was notably poor in his
class work and seemed to take little
interest in what he was doing.
Finally one of his professors could
stand it no longer. He called the
boy aside to give him lecture,
which he hoped would awaken more
ambition in him.
"Now," he said, "my boy, YOU
must have some goal ahead You
must be working to accomplish
some end. What is that end? Why
are you here at the university? Is
it because YOU intend fitting your
self to be a statesman, a lawyer, a
writer or what is it? You must
keep this end always in sight, and
it will make your work easier and
your interest greater. Now tell me
