4. ]. CAMPBELL
IS BACK HOME
Special Agent Says That Portu-
uuese immigrants Win
Be Plentiful.

A. J. Campbell, special agent of the
board of immigration, who returned on
the Alameda yesterday morning from
an extended tour in the Azores and
Portugal on behalf of the board, be-
lieves that immigrants may very profit
ably be brought from Portugal in
monthly installments. Mr. Campbell
found suitable material for eolonists TO
be plenty in Portugal and he says that
monthly shipments by way of the 18th
mus of Tehuantepec would prove en-
tirely feasible.
Mr.. Campbell found plenty of desir-
able people ready to emigrate but ex-
perienced great difficulty in keeping a
sufficient number together to fill up a
chartered ship. Most of the would-be
emigrants are not in a position to await
idly the sailing of a vessel some time
in the future and if means of trans
portation are not provided as soon as
they are ready to start, the result is
that they drift away and are not to be
found on the sailing date.
In the Azores Mr.. Campbell found
but little to encourage him in seeking
eolonists there. The people have gone
out into the rural districts and are
comfortably located on the land. Thus
they do not feel any inclination to
leave and do not listen readily to sug-
gestions that they leave and go else
where. In Portugal conditions are
otherwise and the inducements which
the immigration board has TO offer them
are listened to with favor.
"There are plenty of desirable col
onists to be had from Portugal said
Mr.. Campbell to an Advertiser repre-
sentative. ''There is every reason to
| believe that monthly excursions by way
of Tehuantepee would prove profitable
The great difficulty in keeping the
prospective emigrants together, which
is experienced when they are to travel
in large parties, would then be OBJ
Waited
Though the Swanley, the vessel
| which Mr.. Campbell chartered to bring
the colonists from Portugal, was not
| filed to her capacity by any means
Mr.. Campbell believes that, on the
| has ascertained that there are plenty
of immigrants to be had from Portugal
he knows from what part of the coun
| try the most desirable colonists can
| be had, and he has interested the Port
| uguese rural population in the Hawai-
| ian Islands.

ADMIRAL TOGO RETlRES
FROM JAPANESE NAVY

Admiral Togo, chief of the general
staff OF the japanese navy, retired on
December l from the naval command
and becomes member of the military
council He is succeeded by Vice Ad-
miral Sir Zero Ijuin. The Japanese
Nelson is what they call Admiral
Togo IN the land of the Mikado. 1t
was III the last war that he won his
title as well as undying fame. The
historic attack of February. 1904, was
his work; the tactics which sent the
Petropavlovsk to her doom were his:
to his ability was due the great naval
victory of August, 1904. when the
great Russian fleet under Roiesvensky
was crushed. Since the war much has
been written about Togo. and vet the
sum of what is known about him is
euriously little. 1t is known that he is
about 81 years old; that he is d Sa.
mural, but not of prineely birth; that
he was one of the first japanese naval
cadets TO be sent abroad to study; that
he served on the training ship Wor
cester on the Thames. and that later
like other japanese officers. he was al
lowed to study at the Royal Nava
College at Greenwich. Returning tc
apan. he was employed in various ca.
paeities. In 1894, when war began be
tween China and Japan, he was in com
mand of the Naniwa, cruiser of thir
ty-six hundred tons, one of the vessel:
composing what was then known as the
first flying squadron of the japanese
navy. During the war he greatly dis
tinguished himself and earned the repu
tation of being a irst-elass fighting
man. After the war with China he
was raised to the rank of rear-admira
and promoted to the third command il
the japanese fleet. Prior to his present
appointment he, was commandment
chief at Maizuru, a dockyard on the
Sea of Japan. His present rank is that
of vice admiral.

WILL SANTA CLAUS

Editor Advertiser:-The poor chill
dren of the villagers of Kaneohe and
Heeia, having not seen a Christmas tree
for about ten years, Mr.. Henry Cobb
Adams, whilst visiting the Kaneohe
school few days ago, of which Mr..
Zachariah McKeague is principal, was
approached by two or three children
who. asked him, "Is Santa Claus going
to bring US Christmas tree this
year?''
This set Mr.. Adams thinking, and he
said, eyes, children, will go to work
at once and ask my friends to help
me. :" So far he has met with fair
success considering the many calls made
upon Honolulu friends.
OF course, compared with what would
be expected twenty-fv years ago. the
donations are not so large nor does ev-
cry friend respond. Still there s every
prospect of the poor children of the two
villages seeing Santa Claus and en-
ioying a happy Christmas Eve.

DR.. C0AN TOLD NEW
YORKER A LOCAL STORY

The Hon. John Bigelow recently cele-
brated his ninety-seeond birthday an
niversary in New York, the event be-
ing described in column write-up in
the New York Sun. Among those who
called to pay their respects were Joseph
H. Choate, Seth Low, F. Hopkinson
Smith and DR.. Titus Munson Coan. The
call of the latter is described as fol-
lows:
"Mr. Bigelow," said he, "you make
me think of a story | heard in Homo
lulu. There was very fine old lady
there in my time, Sister Parker, every
body called her. She celebrated her
Tooth birthday and everybody in Ho-
nolulu attended the celebration.
"Among the callers was sharp,
spry maiden lady of ninety-two, Miss
Castle, and she arrived in a fine, throb-
bling, snorting automobile. You would
never have thought she was ninety two
to- look at her, any more than we would
think you were ninety-two.'
"Your servant" said Mr.. Bigelow,
with an oldfashioned bow.
"Miss Castle popped in," Doctor
Coan continued, "and ran up to Sister
Parker. Come take spin with me
up Nuuanu, she chirped.
My DEAR said Sister Parker
frowning, [ have been a giddy thing
for 100 years and l am going to turn
over new leaf in my second CEN
tury!''

ago." said Mr.. Bigelow, laughing like
boy.

the interest of his county or State at

The Town Board Election.

Now that the nominations for our town
Board have been made, it becomes the
duty of every citizen of Thurmont who
has the advancement of his town at heart
to take an interest in the coming election.
Don't do as too many of US have been
doing for years-stay away when the
board is elected and then begin to kick
and hoer as soon as things drag.
Thurmont is not a badly managed town.
1t will compare very favorably with any
town of its size in Maryland, but we
want it to be the best, and the only way
to do this is for our best citizens to in
terest themselves when our town board
is elected
"Best Citizen" is a much abused term.
1t is generally used to designate some
purse proud old fossil whose interests
are always selfish. The best citizen is
the man who is interested in the progress
of the town. He helps to make it what
it is by keeping his home in good order
and up-to-date. If he has property to
sell he offers it at fair price. He does
not disgust prospective buyers by want
ing four prices for what he has. If some
one improves adjacent property he does
not Immediately double the price of his
property. He may or may not have
money and property but he must have
the best interest of his town always in
mind
Be good citizen on April 18th. Come
out and vote your sentiments. Take an
interest in the election of your town
Board. b. b.

it is to refuse to support these nominees.
Lei the independent voters strike from
the ticket these men the party platforms
declare for purity. Then why such ig-
noble custom as spoken of, such small
practice deserves rebuke, the independ-
ent voters can get good men from both
tickets, Republican and Demo cratic, to
fill the offices. Let party die and the
best men be elected regardless of party,
