The name OF the Rev James
Shrigley was before the Senate for
confirmation as army hospital chap

mention of Mr.. Shrigley's name the
President said:
I have sent lit to the Senate.
His testimonials are unimpeach-
able and the appointment will be
confirmed"
But, sir, We are not soliciting
the appointment. We want you to
recall the nomination OH the ground

INCREASE IN DIVORCES.
Census Bureau Gives the Result Of
Investigation.

'The divorce rate, like the velocity
of falling body, is constantly in
creasing,' states report on marriage
and divorce which has just been pub
lished by the census bureau. The re-
port gives the result of investigations
covering a period from 1887 to the
close of 1906. These investigations
We're made by direction of congress fol
lowing a conference between represen-
tatives of various religious bodies, at
which the subjects of marriage and
divorce were considered.
The report states that during the pc
Rod 1882, 044 marriages were record
ed and the total number of divorces
was 945,625. For the twenty years pre-
ceding 1887 the total number of dl-
vorces granted was about 32S,7l6.
The report is comprehensive in char
acter and gives a great deal of data
upon the subjects of which it treats.

4. ". S. Bedford Here

H. NJ :. Bedford came into port yes

allow the officers TO visit the volcano.
She warped alongside one Of the naval
wharves and prepared to coal ship.
The Bedford viii stay here for less
than a week, as she will leave for
Yokohama next Wednesday morning.
For the present she will take on coal.
which will keep her crew pretty busy,
but there viii be full shore leave for

day and Sunday
The officers and men of the British
cruiser are all loud in their praises
of San Francisco and the treatment
they received there. The bav city
opened its arms to them and gave them
literally the time of their lives, and
they were all very sorry to have to
leave.
In spite of the temptations of the
great city, there were only a few de-
serters from the cruiser. Less than a
dozen men took French leave, and these
were not the better class of seamen.
The Bedford stopped at Monterey on
the way to Hilo, and was the host of
some three hundred school children. A
delegation came aboard in Mexican
costume and did a few stunts, to the
huge delight of the men. The kids

The volcano was working well for
the benefit of the British officers. They

seemed impressed with the grandeur of
the sight Many of them have been

thing anywhere to equal the sight of

At Sorenson & Lyle's yards there is

fixed up. It was sailed round from
Waianae for the purpose. The shape of
it is very much the same as that of
all the interisland surfboats that hang
from davits on the steamers. But she
has short bowsprit and sloop rig.
She has been used to go in and out of
the breakers under sail, and has a
unique record for taking chances.

Advice to H0mesteader

Ex-Governor w. J. Mcconnell,
who is field assistant in the BOISE
general land Office, gives the BOISE
News some most excellent advice to
homesteaders or any one contem-
plating entry upon government land.
Regarding homesteaders Mr.. Nc
Connell said: 1.-THE man on a
homestead should keep daily
diary so he can tell what days he
was away from the homestead and
what he was doing while away. He
should keep a memorandum. SO
when the time comes to prove up
his homestead and get a patent for
itfrom the government, he can show
where he was during the five years
necessary for him to live on the
homestead to secure his patent, how
long he was and what he was doing.
1T is difficult for most home
steaders to make a living on the
homestead during the period he is
required to live on the land, and it
becomes necessary for most Of them
to earn money elsewhere to buy
bread and other food supplies,
clothing, horses, etc.
"When the time comes to make
final proof before securing his pat
ent, homesteader must have two
witnesses to vouch for him. These
witnesses are required to answer a
long list of questions bearing on the
homestead. the amount of work
done on it. etc. It is quite impor-
tant that homesteader keep in
touch with his neighbors so they
will know what he is doing. 1t is
usually very difficult thing to
find a witness who is able to give
satisfactory answers concerning a
period of FIVE years. 1t is at once
apparent to every homesteader to
realize the Importance of keeping a
diary of his neighbors and letting
them know from time to time what
he is doing"
