DRYOOCK
FOLK
Not All of Them Bid
on the Heavy
Job.
By Ernest G.. Walker.

(Mail Special to the Advertiser.)
WASHINGTON, Feb. IA. There
were several surprises in connection
with the bids for the Pearl Harbor
drydoek, which bids were opened here
yesterday. The bid of Boston man,
c. M. Leach, who gave his address as
care. of the navy yard, that city, was
one of them. He had the lowest fig
ure on every item Of the specifications,
but, fortunately or unfortunately for
him, his bid was not accompanied by
bond and therefore will not be con-
sidered. He sent certified check for
$4,000 and promised to furnish the
bond if the contract were awarded
him. But Admiral Hollyday told Del
egate Kalanianaole and Mr. George B..
Mcclellan, after the bids were opened,
that Leach s would not be considered,
and that the award would go to the
Pacific Construction Company, as al
ready eabled to the Advertiser

and four daughters, Mrs w. II. Bah
bitt, wife of the Superintendent of
Public Instruction, and the Misses
Charlotte, Mary n and Rachel A.
Carter.
Throughout his life Mr.. Carter had
occupied prominent place in the af-
fairs Of the Hawaiian Islands. In his
younger days he was a news-gatherer
for the Advertiser, when it was es-
tablished in the sos by the late H.
=. Whitney. He occupied various
governmental positions in the Postof-
flee, Department of Finance, ETC., and
was Consular Agent for Japan until
about the middle of the sos He was
member of the monarchical Legis-
lature. His friendship with the royal
family was maintained after the over
throw of the monarchy, and until re-
Gently he was the adviser and business
agent of Queen Liliuokalani. Of late
years Mr.. Carter's health began fail
ing, and recently he was so indisposed
that he had to give up personal atten-
ton to business affairs.
The removal of Mr. Carter from the
list of well-known residents makes
gap in the gradually-lessening circle
of kamaainas. He was a man of ster-
ling business qualities and a citizen of
worth

Joseph o. Carter died at ten min
utes past / o'clock this morning at his
residence in Nuuanu avenue, after a
lingering illness. Death was due to a
complication of ailments, eliminating
recently IN pulmonary congestion.
Nothing had been decided at o clock
about the funeral, which may not take
place until after the arrival of J. o.
Carter, Jr., who was cabled for a day
or two ago, and left San Francisco
yesterday on the T. X. K. S. S. Tenyo
Maru. The remains may be cremated
and the funeral take place on the ar
rival of the only member of the fam
lily now absent.
Mr.. Carter was born in Honolulu 70
years ago in a grass house on the
present site of the University Club,
the family moving later on to the Man
sion House, corner of Garden Lane and
Beretania avenue. He was the
eldest of five sons and one daugh-
ter, of Captain J. O. Carter, sea-
master who came here from Charles
town, Mass, and Hannah Lord Carter
of Hollowell, Me. OF the family there
survive Mr.. Carter only his sister, Mrs.

KOREAN PATRIOTIC
SOCIETIES UNITED

The Honolulu Koreans are now in
closer touch than ever with the Korean
patriots in San Francisco, the three pa
triotic societies of the two cities hav-
ing combined into one with some of
the principal officers of the big society
here. The three societies were the Den
Ko and Go Sci, of Honolulu, and the
Kyo Ritsu, of San Francisco. The
amalgamated society is the Koku Ming,
meaning the National Society. 1t was
this society which recently sent the
cable dispatches to Toxic and Seoul,
protesting against the annexation of
their country to Japan, the cablegrams
going forward with the knowledge of
and approval of the San Francisco Ko-
reans
The official organ of the Korean pa
triots in Honolulu is the recently es-
tablished Chinese newspaper, the Man
Sang Yappo.

4 ROW BREWING OVER
TRANSLATION MATTERS

There is a fair prospect of trouble in
the House today over some Of the trans
lation work that is being done for the
Committee on Printing and Revision.
1t was expected that there would be
fare-up in the House yesterday, but the
poi-eating resolution proved to be
enough of safety-yalve. 1t viii prob
ably be sprung today. The trouble APP
pears to center in the Committee on
Public Lands, the members of which
claim that their bills are not properly
put into Hawaiian. One bill introduced
by Coney, in particular, IS claimed to
be a botch and 50 translated that the
intent of the bin is lost altogether. In
the meeting Of this committee yester-
day, at noon, all action on this bill
was deferred until the chairman of the
Printing Committee could be hunted up
and a protest lodged
kaleIopu is chairman of the Public
Lands Committee, and when he has a
kick coming he usually puts it in
strong. C0rrea is chairman of the
Printing Committee, ana ne IS no
sIouch at the talking game himself.
When the two lock horns. an interest
ing quarter of an hour can be expected.
Correa states that he has lots to say
regarding the particular bill in ques-
tion and IS ready for any questions
that the chairman Of the Public Lands
Committee may have to ask.
Sheldon raised the point yesterday
that one of MS bills had not been cor
reetly translated, and Correa was quick
to defend himself.

letter from John J. Scott, an attorney
of Boston, asking for information con
corning David E. Curtis, who left Bos-

heard of from this city in 1873. The
attorney wishes to know whether Mr..
Curtis is dead, and whether he left
any children. His letter is as follows:

WELCOME FOR
MORMON LEADER
President Joseph Smith Is a
Passenger on the
Alameda.

President Joseph F. Smith of the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints of Salt Lake City, Utah, accom-
panied by eleven others, arrived on the
Alameda to visit in the islands for
about month. He was received az the
Oceanic dock by large delegation of
Hawaiians and members of the faith
and was given glad welcome by the
Hawaiian band. The reception by the
latter was a special mark of favor in
return for many kindnesses to the
bandsmen while they were in Salt Lake
City couple of years ago during their
memorable tour of the states. Presi-
dent Smith was deeply touched with
this welcome and personally thanked
the bandsmen.
In his party are Mrs. Smith and their
four daughters; Bishop Nibley, presid-
ing bishop of Salt Lake, his wife and
two daughters; Mrs. McCune, wife of
the wealthy mining operator, 4. W.
McCune of Utah and Peru, and Bishop
Woolley, who is in charge of the Nor
mon Mission in the Hawaiian Islands
with headquarters at Laie, the sugar
plantation of the Mormon church al the
other end of this island.

Greeted at Church.

After being welcomed by Elder Alb
ram Fernandez. several Of the young
elders from Utah who are spending
their mission service of three years in
the islands, and many of the Latter
Day Saints, the party was driven to the
Mormon church on Punchbowl. where
large crowd greeted them, and where
at noon the visitors sat down to a Ha-
waiian luau, replete with native deli
cacies. To President and Mrs. Smith
the Hawaiian luau was not new. for

on his first mission and has visited here

To Remain Well, Eat Heartily

Statistics have shown the great Value Of
abundant food. Dr. I. Robertson. an e \ =
inent surgeon OF Manchester, Eng ant I,
has remarked that the families of " urkin.,
people, when well fed, maintained their
health surprisingly, even while living in
cellars. And he observed that during
four years OF prosperity the number of
fever cases admitted to the Manchester
House of Recovery was 421 per annum,
while in two pinching years, 1,207 cases
per anuum were admitted.
The ultimate effect of curtaiIing the
food supply is to weaken the stomach so
that it cannot digest what it once could
easily. Thus the source from which our
energy is derived is weakened, to our great
detriment. Now, as man is really no
stronger than his stomach, and as sSgood
digestion waits on appetite, and health on
BOTH, should we not rather seek to
strengthen the stomach by giving it exer-
else than enfeeble it by dieting. I think
we should, and think that persons with
common sense will agree with me; Chit
tenden, Horace Fletcher and other dietar-
ians notwithstanding. Loss of weight is
the first symptom of failing health; and
cutting the food invariabl causes loss of
weight.
To develop strong muscles we train
them gradually to do strong work. In the
same way we can, by judicious care, ac-
hearty meals. But we cannot do this by
forcing into the stomach more food than
it calls for; we must first create the need
OF greater quantity by proper amount
of bodily exercise. OF all cures for dys-
pepsia, with its accompanying languor,
exercise is the best cure l know of.-G.

We recognized ''cafe", took the rest for
granted, paid the bills and went out into
the bright sunlight, resolved to have our
next meal where things were little more
like home. The coffee was never good, but
we found little French cafe, presided
over by two charming sisters, where toast,
chicken, strawberries, vegetables and
chocolate were always OF the best. Here
also we tried the hot tamales and friioles
Mexican kidney beansl. The bread used
at the cafes is largely the French loaf.
At this place we enjoyed the people and
studying contrasts. Here Mexican fam
lily in for chocolate and cakes, nearby a
plain New Highlander and rudy young
Englishman; students and painters; the
gaudily rich and the respectable poor all
merry but never noisy.
Our first forenoon was spent in ramb-
ling about the city, studying quaint
signs, shopping little and visiting the
old torture ground OF inquisition days,
now the Alameda, or concert park. 1t is a
beautiful lace, with tropical plants and
ferns and most exquisite fountains.

I'VE found it a most opportune time to
visit Chapultepec park. Extending west
ward from the city is the magnificent
avenue Pasco de la Reforma-a boulevard
of the Macmillan days, nearly block
wide, three miles long and as level as
floor. Occasionally it widens into circles,
and in some OF these are statues ranked
among the worlds greatest works OF art.
This avenue terminates at arocky, isolated
hill about 200 feet in height-the world
renowned Chapultepec-where Gen. Scott
and the American soldiers had such
lively time in az.
1t is the summer home OF President Diaz
and the West Point OF Mexico's cadets.
While listening to the military band and
watching the parade of Mexico's wealth
and aristocracy, our attention was called
to the President pacing back and forth on
the balcony Of the palace on the heights,
enjoying the grandest view in all Mex
ico-some say, in all the world.
Stretching away from the base of the
hill lies an almost circular valley forty

homes to take the overflow from the
hotels, and many were glad to do so. I
had the honor of entertaining the secre-

early, and as was ''tenderfoot" the
manager kindly offered to show me how
the meat was cooked. There were twelve
beeves and fifteen mutton. cooked in quar-
tiers. Long trenches were dug, where the
fires were kindied. Across these bitches
were put iron cart-wheels on which the
meat was placed for broiliDg, and when
done it was certainly the best ever. They
started the fires at a. m. and dinner was
served at D. M
There were long tables on which were
placed the meat, bread and pickles, and
each stepped up to the table, helped him
self with both hands. Boys went
through the crowd with pals OF steaming
black coffee, and tin mugs were provided.
There we're at least 1000 people present,
yet not an officer did see, and the most
perfect order prevailed throughout the
day. On all sides were people going
around with meat, bread and coffee IN
their hands. The governor OF the terri
tory was there Gov. Curry and he was
eating just as as fast as an ordinary NOR
tai.
The lady with me, being an old resi-
dent, knew the ropes. She asked one of
the cooks for special piece of meat. He
brought US leg of mutton and a. bag OF
salt. My husband carved the meat with
his pocket knife, and we ''sure 'nuff'' had
q delicious meal.

The White Plague.

ROSWELL, N. NJ, April 10, '09
To the Editor of The Anpsrtcdu:
noticed in a recent issue an item on
tuberculosis by H. E. Moore, OF Chicago,
and while it is true that this climate GER
tainly works wonders IN restoring to health
people who are suffering from the grea;
white plague, yet the principal trouble is
that they come here (many Of them) to.
late.
In this city, perhaps more than any
other in New Mexico, there are hundreds
OF strangers every year, and many of these
are brought to health and strength simply
by living out OF doors in this beautiful
sunshine which we have with us nearl y
always. But if the physicians in the
East do not have a proper fear of the dis
ease, the people here realize the danger
fully, and try to keep it down in every
way possible. A law has been recently
passed in this city that no one shall take
tuberculosis patient into his home for
treatment, but just outside of the city
limits is what is known as ''tent city,,
where one can go, hire a tent and be
treated by the resident physician and
nurses.
1t certainly is q pity that more care is
not taken when the disease first shows
itself. have in mind a gentleman who
travelled on the same train with me when
came to the Southwest He was from
Chicago, and with his young son, was
coming TO Ros we'll to be cured. He was,
as one could see, even then at deaths door,
and have since learned that he died soon
after his arrival, Now, why was he
allowed to wait? Surely the physicians
must be at faul. in many instances.
Now, may tell you of barbecue that
/ attended during the cittlemen's conven-
ton that has just been held here. This
convention, by the way, is one of the
events of the year in New Mexico and
Texas. The wealthy ranch-owners and
stockmen from all over, meet for three
days to buy and sell stock and transact all
the yearly business of thae nature. All
their friends and the prominent people of
the territory we're here, and it was like one
OF our fairs at home. The usual crowd of
street men and fakirs were on the spot,
and Main street resembled the midway at
the Bangor fair grounds. 1t all seemed so
natural to me that was decidedly home
sick.
1t was estimated that there were 6.00O
