of Kentucky will be delivered by Gov
ernor Augustus E. Wilson. Cardinal
Gibbons in his robes of Office will be
present and participate.
1t is expected that Justice Oliver
Wendell Holmes of the United States
Supreme bench will make the address
for the Union soldiers. AS is generally
known, Justice Holmes is the son of
the famous poet and essayist, who was
born the same year as Lincoln.
The Confederate veterans will also
have conspicuous part in the pro-
ceedings. Secretary of War Luke +.
Wright, who was a Confederate soldier,
will deliver the address in behalf of
the South. This will be a fitting climax
to the occasion, for it is conceded that
the South long since recognized In Lin
coin true friend. On previous oeca-
sions it has shown its admiration of
his genius. That the memorial which
will enshrine the log cabin in which
Lincoln was born stands in the South
is regarded by the whole country as
felicitous.
While the memorial at the Lincoln
farm is being dedicated other exercises
commemorating the centenary of the
martyr president VIII be taking place.
One Of these viii be at Springfield H.,
where Lincoln 5 body rests under a
monument erected by the state Elabo-
rate ceremonies will take place on the
same day in New York, Washington,
and in other cities.
The present board Of trustees of the
Lincoln Farm assoeiation IS composed
of the following: Joseph II. Choate,
Henry Watterson, William H. Taft,
Lyman J. Gage, Norman Hapgood, Hor-

Whisky He was so elated at his
prospects that in revel he declared his
intentions. Mr.. Collier s agent heard
of it and arrived on the ground in time
to get in the bid which saved the day.
The purchase was for the land only.
The log cabin was not there. Tt had
been removed for show purposes. It
had been shipped north. 1t was traced
to the basement of house on Long
Island. Through the efforts Of Mr.
Collier, assisted by other publie-spirit-
ed citizens, the cabin was rescued and
sent back to the hallowed ground.
In all lands the bodies Of illustrious
dead have had triumphal journeys.
The return of this log cabin to the
farm where it was first erected was
worthy of the attention it received.
Railroads carried it free. The car
which held the hut was decorated by
John Wanamaker, great merchant of
New York and Philadelphia A detail
was furnished by the governor of Ken
lucky to act as guard of honor during
the journey. When the ear reached
Philadelphia the mayor of that city
received it with houors no less fitting
than he could have bestowed on the
living. Baltimore, through which
place Lincoln had passed in a night
on his way TO be inaugurated, bestow-
ed its appreciation by making the oc-

Altoona strewed the car with flowers.

MYRTLE CLUB IS
FREE1FROM DEBT
Encouraging Reports at the
Annual Meeting Held
Last Night.

Last night, for the first time in the
history of the Myrtle Boat Club, that
splendid organization which has existed
in Honolulu for many years, it was
reported at the annual meeting
that the club was entirely out
of debt. To those who have the inter
ests of the Myrtles at heart, this viii
indeed be good news. Now that the
club is free from all financial embar-
rassment the members viii feel more
free to go ahead with plans for the
future, and, from the general tenor Of
the talks made at the meeting last
night, it is probable that the boat club
WILL once more jump into the athletic
swim with renewed vigor. 1t was a
matter of congratulation indeed when
it became known that the activities of
the past year had lifted the debt that
had always before hung over the club,
for it was a demonstration of just what
a little enterprise will do. The Myrtle

The Centenary Of a Great American President

Friday, February y. 1909, the cen
tennial memorial to Abraham Lincoln
will be dedicated on the site of the
famous log cabin in which Lincoln was
born. The site is on a farm a few
miles from Hodgenville, Hardin coun,
ty, Ky.
The memorial is conspicuous on ac-
count of its simplicity. Visitors ap-
proach it by wide steps that lead up
from the plaza. Greek columns in
front and on all sides add to the I'M
affected plainness of the memorial. It
is in keeping with the character of the
man to whose memory it has been erect
ed. A worn path winds from the plaza
to the spring of the farm. The farm
in other respects remains as it was. A
gnarled apple tree is pointed out as
the remaining one of the orchard that
was put out and fostered by Tom Lin
coin.
The cabin stands within the me.
mortal. Tt is the only exhibit. All
around the cabin is bare ground. The
intention that all should be as nearly
in the original state as possible has
been carried out. A tall white flagstaff
stands sentinel at the foot of the plaza.
From it's halyards an American flag will
be unfurled every day in the year.
The farm is reached by two piked
roads. One is as old as the farm itself.
It is still known as the Louisville and
Nashville road. Tom Lincoln was SUI
pervisor of the pike The other road
is a new one. It is the one over which
will pass the throngs that will go to
the dedication ceremonies.
After the struggles through which
the genius of the farm went to the
White House the birthplace was virtual
" unknown so far as its exact location
was concerned. Lincoln was dead and
buried before it occurred to his country
that the farm in Kentucky should be
rescued. That it would have been
rescued sooner or later is more than
likely. But the fact that the publicity

saw possibilities in the possession of
the obscure ground was the cause for
its rescue.
Story of the FARMS Rescue.
So far as known the first man to
,, advocate the purchase of the farm for
memorial was a Chicago preacher,
the Rev. Jenkin Lloyd Jones. Robert
]. Collier, a New York publisher, took
up the suggestion The farm had been
advertised for sale. Mr.. Collier sent
Mr.. Jones to the sale with full au'
thority. When he arrived he found
others on the ground Some of these,
it must be admitted, were moved in
their desire to get the farm by other
than patriotic motives. One had con-
ceived the idea of getting the ground
and erecting thereon a distillery- He
had already agreed on the name of
the liquor that was to be distilled. 1t
is even said that he had the posters
out announcing "Lincoln's Birthplace

ORE BUYER Tells
OF Mill ADVANCE
TONOPAH AND GOLDFIELD NO
LONGER GOOD SHIPPING
POINTS.

There was time when Tonopah
and Goldfield shipped generously of
their crude ores but this ceased
when mine operators concluded that
it would pay to install milling plants
instead of paying what they termed
exorbitant railroad rates to the
smelling centers. Now every effort
is being turned toward reducing the
gold ores to a condition as near bull
lion as modern metallurgy can ac-
complish it, and that this policy is
noticeable is vouched for by Charles
Snyder, general manager of f. the
Western Ore Purchasing company.
Mr.. Snyder stated yesterday to the
Tribune that the mines of Tonopah
and Goldfield are shipping but a
small per cent of their ores, every
thing being milled.
In Tonopah, for instance, he
states the daily production is about
800 tons of ore, and not over fifty
tons of this are shipped direct to the
ore markets, all the rest being mill
ed. In Goldfield the daily production
| is from $50 to 1000 tons, and not
over fifty tons of this are shipped d.
rect to the shelters. The main

RICHORE IS A
new NORTHERN
mining CAMP
PICTURE VALUES FOUND SEVEN
MILES SOUTHEAST OF
CHAFEY.

Richore is the name of the camp
twenty-five miles south of Winnie
mucca, which was the scene of sem
sational strike last Friday. The
strike was made on the Philadelphia
property, owned and being operated
by the Nevada Metal and Explora-
tion company. Samples of ore were
brought to Winnemucca by F. c.
Butler, superintendent of the com
pany, and assays of the ore showed
it to carry values of $3.50 per ton in
gold. The ore is of the picture"
variety, beautifully tinted with bro
miles and chlorides, relieved by
splotches of brilliant gold, sylvanite
and brittle silver. The mines are
only seven miles southeast of the ia
Nous old Dun Glen, now known as
%he Chafey.
A number of prominent Winnie
mucca gentlemen have arranged to
go to Richore next Wednesday to
inspect the property from which the
high grade ore is being taken. The
officers of the company state that
men are vigorously at work taking
out and sacking high grade ore for
shipment from the Philadelphia hill
Heretofore the conservative policy OF
the company prevented publicity OF
their operations, but reports of the
rich ore and extent of the showings

trouble in Nevada from the ore pur-
chasing standpoint is that there are
few districts of the merit of Tonopah
and Goldfield, although other good
camps are springing up and entering
the production columns.
Mr.. Snyder says that Hawthorne
is sending out good daily tonnage,
and the Pioneer district near Bull
frog is shipping from sixty to seventy
tons of ore daily.
About thirty-five or forty miles
from Nevada City is the famous old
Allegheny mining camp, one with
fine history of production behind
it. Within the past few months
three new properties have been oper-
ated, which look to be record-break-
ers. Mr.. Snyder mentions one, the
Sixteen-to-One property, which is
finding some marvellous gold ore. II
is, he says, the same typical Califor-
mia white quartz rock filled with free
gold, being beautiful ore and natur-
