Large numbers were imprisoned in

Starvation beset the survivors ard
many were wild with hunger. thirst
and fright when ships bearing relief
supplies arrived, They fought des-

Troops were posted about the streets
and measures were taken to prevent
an epidemic Of pes.ilence. Money
and food for relief purposes are being

Taxing Unmarried Men.

A bill has been introduced in the
Territorial Legislature of New
Mexico providing for the taxing
of unmarried men, the money 80
obtained to be devoted to the sup
port of unmarried women.
1t is proposed to require bache-
lors between the ages Of 25 and As
years to pay an annul tax of $40,
while widowers between those ages
are to paw $25. 1t is a rather Gu
rious fact that the women of New
Mexico greatly outnumber the
men. 1t has been the rule in all
the Far Western States and Terri
tories that the men outnumbered
the women, but in New Mexico, by
the census of 1900, three-fifths of
the population were females and
tWO-QICnS m8leS.
1t is not likely that the propos.
ed bill will become a law. but it
would do good if it would force
the men to marry the worthy wo-
men, but, on the other hand, if il
should. result in causing the un.
married men to flee the country.
it would do harm. Compulsory
laws to regulate social relations are
perhaps all unwise. Such matters
are best regulated by social Gus
toms and individual tastes.-N. o

Average Prices Of Horses and
Mules.

The Bureau of Statistics of the
U. s. Department of Agriculture
has recently compiled the latest
data secured from its correspon-
dents and agents throughout the
country of the numbers and values
of farm animals in the United
States on January 1st, 1909. In
this We find that the estimated
number of farm horses was 2,O64,-
600. an increase over the previous
year of 50S,OOO or 80 per cent. An
interesting point brought out is
that the value for horses reported
from the whole country reaches
1864 each. az against S93.31 the
year before and as against $60.25
eleven years before.
In regard to mules the data are
slightly different. The estimated
number of mules in the country is
4,053,0OO, as against 3,S69,0O0 a
year earlier, indicating an increase
of 4.8 per cent. in the mule stock
of the country. The average va
lue of mules on January LIST was
$1O7.84, practically the same, or
$107.76, a year earlier, and as
against $3.50 eleven years ago.

Money In Peanuts.

A farmer in Sabine Parish, La.
writes that he planted peanuts on
thin land that would not make over
five barrels of corn to the acre and
obtained 80 bushels of peanuts
and 25 loads of hay, and then fat
tened Is head of hogs on the field
at gain of 500. He estimated
that his return on the six acres
was $3.50. which was obtained at a
cost for labor and seed Of $16.25.
This would indicate that there
is pretty good money in peanut
raising in this section, especially
on the sandy cut lands. It is
probable. too, that his land was in
better condition when his hogs
were through searching it for
stray peanuts than it was before it
was planted.
There is money In farming if it
is done right. but the man must
plant little brains with his seed

STRIKERS N An
UGLY MOOD
ON HAWAIIAN PLAN.
TATIONs DELUDED BY BELIEF
THEY WILL GET SUPPORT
FROM THEIR GOVERNMENT.

Honolulu, June 16.-Deluded into
the belief that their strike will re-
ceive the support of the Japanese
government, represented by the
cruisers Also and Soya when these
ships arrive there June 26, the Jap
anese strikers from the sugar planta-
lions are in a dangerous mood today
and the situation is regarded as criti-
cal.
This impression has been circulat-
ed by INSCRIPTIONS leaders of the
strike to insure the faithfulness of
their followers. The strikers are too
ignorant to realize that they are be-
ing deceived and confidently expect
the cruisers from their home country
to compel the planters to grant their
demands for higher wages.
No serious disorders have taken
place as yet, but an outbreak Is
feared and every precaution is being
taken against violence. The police
are heavily armed and any attempt
at rioting will be checked without de-
lay.
Thirty-five hundred laborers are
now on strike and the Japanese who
returned to work recently at the Eva
and Waialua plantations threaten to
walk out again unless their wages
are increased next pay day.
The arrest of NJ. Nogoro. a local
Japanese editor, together with Y. So
ga, Y. Tasaka and K. Kawamura,
strike leaders has created a Juror
among the strikers and an appeal has
been sent to Ambassador Takahira
at Washington to interest himself in
conditions here. The message sent
to Mr. Takahira reads:
"Nipponese editors and higher
wage officers have been arrested
without warrant and their books and
papers seized. Officers broke into a
japanese store and without a search
warrant dynamited safe.

Letters like this have been re-

ternational toast to the people of San
Francisco on the occasion Of the cele-
bration there, October 10, in honor
of the rejuvenation of the city and in
commemoration of the discovery of
San Francisco bay by Don Caspar De
Portola. The rulers of all the nations
of the world having possessions in
or bordering upon the Pacific ocean
have been invited to participate In
the toast, which is to be drunk SIM
ultaneously, at an hour previously
agreed upon
San Franciscans are presumably
counting on the president using ma
tive wines. The vintage of France
will probably be urged by the large
contingent from that country that

Of the simple life would be glad to
see him quaff buttermilk or plain

who is now abroad, has not yet been

President Taft is silent on the sub
ject. Secretary Carpenter said to-
night that it was extremely doubt
full whether President Taft would
be able to be in San Francisco on
that particular day.
"He will probably drink that toast
by means of an electric button" said
the secretary.
