Cullen's Special Today.
EDITOR DAY ON
WREN-SAILING

Doctor Sanford has received the fol-
lowing communication from Editor
Day of the Rudder. This will be of
the very greatest interest to all own
ers and shippers of sea-wrens. The
seawren is one of Days great pets.
He evolved it himself and takes the
greatest interest in their being a
success.
Day is wrong in just one point-an
iron board most certainly does not kill
wren on the wind. He writes:
"Dear Mr. anford:-Many thanks
for your papers with the account of the
sea-wren race. I am glad to hear that
the boat has done so well, but from the
account in the paper it seems that you
are just learning how to sail her If
the boat steers hard it is because YOU
have not got her propely hung. These
boats should be trimmed well by the
stern with ballast, and then brought
to trim by shifting the live weight
The boat | have sails best with about
five hundred pounds of ballast and two
people in her. | don't think that they
will beat a iib-sail boat that is longer
reaching, but they ought to outpoint
and outfoot her to windward. I would
not put an iron board in the boat, as
/ see suggested in the paper, as that
would kill it.
81 wish you would send me some
photographs so I can see what your
sail looks like. as perhaps some of the
trouble in steering is due to the sail.
With kind regards and best wishes, I
am, yours truly. DAY.

spicuous success. Well before half past
two the training rooms on Alakea street
were crowded and many ringside regu
lars with their friends were among the
number, as well as the usual crowd of
sports.
Reilly held something of reception
in his dressing room. He sat on his
rubbing board and pulled on so many
pairs of thick wooden tights and sweat
ers, that it seemed he never would stop.
When he got through he looked like an
ANIMATE mummy.
Then he went through his various
exercises and the heavy clothing had

TIN CHONG LAUDS
HONOLULU BALL

Tin Chong, the Chinese baseball mag.
nate, who is now in Dayton. Ohio,
studying at the National Cash Register
Company S school for statesmen, is doing
some rafting good promotion work on
novel lines.
The Dayton Herald is featuring some
articles by him ON the sports page. The
articles are about sport in Honolulu.
Principally baseball, and are very
clever.
Under date of November 3. the Day
ton paper has big head lines across the
top OF the page, Thousands Parade
when Honolulu Ball Season Opens.n
Under this is fine account of the
opening games of the Oahu league at
the Athletic Park, in which the fol
lowing appears:
" Honolulu has the distinction of pos
sessing the only international baseball
league IN the world. This is the Oahu
league, inaugurated in that city during
the latter part of last July, with four
clubs, representing the U. S. Marine
Corps, the Japanese A. c., the Chinese
A. G., and the Kalihi A. c., a native
team. There are other leagues in Ho-
nolulu, but the international is the fast
est and in the Islands is rated as are
the major leagues in the United States.
1.-The Mayor of Honolulu is a husky
fellow, half-breed of the Sandwich
Islands, who speaks six or seven differ
ent languages. He is an enthusiastic
fan, and besides holding the reins of
the city and presiding over the only
board of supervision in the United
States, where an Interpreter is needed,
he attends to the affairs of the base,
ball leagues and athletic associations -

KALAKAUA AVENUE WALKING
RACE LOOMS ON HORIZON
Prominent Walkers Are Now Training For the
Annual Event. Ayers Walks Round
the Island.

The time is approaching for the
annual walking race on Kalakaua ave
nue.. The date of the elimination race
is Sunday, December u, and the final
race will be walked on Sunday, De-
eember 10. The course viii be the
same as last year, namely, from the
street to the Waikiki lima distance
of about one mile and three-quarters.
The time set by the committee for
the elimination race is nineteen min
utes. There will be no entrance fee of
any kind, but all who wish to com
pete in the finals must appear at the
start of the elimination race and make
the distance in nineteen minutes, IN
order to become eligible to walk in
the finals and receive prize.
Many of those who walked last year
have already started training. H. NJ.
Ayres has recently returned from a
walk round the island He made it in
easy stages, stopping at different
places for side excursions into the
mountains. The last leg of his walk
was from Haleiwa to Honolulu. He
made this without stop, starting at ten
clock and reaching the end of the
Kalihi carline at five o'clock.
Heat Bad at Wahiawa.
He states that the heat was terrific
on the upper lands, as there was no
shade and little wind. At Wahiawa it
was more than ninety in the shade, and
the middle hours of the day made
walking rather labor than pleasure.
The trip has put him in excellent con-
dition, and he should be able to make
a good showing this year.
There is probability that Dick Sui

livau may enter again. Dick won the
last race in excellent time and may
we'll repeat the trick, although, being
confined indoors by his business now.
he will perhaps not be in such bound
ing condition as he was last year.
1t is not known definitely whether
Cheatham viii be able TO compete or
not, as Christmas time viii be coming
on AMI he will be a busy man. It is
to be hoped that he will be able to
walk. as he has always made a good
showing and should make it hard for
the rest of them.
Sam Hop Will Be There.
Sam Hop, the champion Chinese
walker, will also be there at the start.
Sam has way of making the pace
too hot at the start. What he wants
to do is to reserve that for the finish,
and then perhaps he can surprise the
whole bunch by coming in first.
McTighe, Boisse, Feagler and many
other prominent athletes have an
nounced their intention of entering.
There seems to be plenty of interest
being taken in the event, and the
elimination race should bring out a
large field.
In addition to the main event, there
will also be fat mans race and an
old man s race. Last year these spe-
cialties made big hit with the crowd,
and Charlie Lambert, who easily won
the fatties' race, covered the course
in excellent time.
Final details will be settled within
the next few days and published ae-
cordingly. Place and limit of time for
entries, judges, starters and all the
officials will be announced as soon as
the committee has had chance to get
together and get down to business.

ARCHIE ROBERTSON
SHOULD. SAIL A WREN

Archie Robertson should sail boat:
Yes. he should. He thinks he can beat
the Gailoping Mary with the Dancing
Sally and has issued q challenge to
that effect. Any old course and any
oldsime will do, he says.
With large joy and innocent merri-
meut. Mr. Robertson : challenge is ac-
Cepted. If he want a liberal handicap
he shall have il. But he would not
ask for that, for Archie really thinks
he can sail y boat.

TROUBLE WITH CITY
WATER SYSTEM

For several hours this morning
residents of this city were without
water, owing to a clogging up of
the Squillchuck Water Commits
sioner Sherburne, with crew of
men, spent some time at the scene
of the trouble, and remeiied it. 1t
will be only short time before the
Columbia river will be available
Workmen are cleaning out the tun-
mel leading out of the pumping sta
ton to the Columbia river They are
now engaged in installing timber
sets in order to put in the cement
lining Just as soon as that is COM
pleted the Squillchuck supply will
be cut off and the citizens will be
supplied with water from the Col
umbia. The Squillchuck water has
been of the color of chocolate for
the past week, owing to the rains
washing the mud and other debris
into the little creek. There will be
much rejoicing in this city when the
Columbia water is available.

FINE ON THIRD CHARGE
AGAINST HER FOR SELLING
LIQUOR WITHOUT LICENSE.

Thelma Stanley, who on two prev
ious occasions this week was given a
$99 fine, was tried yesterday on the
third count against her for selling
liquor without a license, and was
given a $50 fine The jury in this
case consisted of E. S. Russell, G. E.
Buttles, R. E. Sullivan, H. B. Cas-
sidy, G. A. Harlin and Charles Wild
berger. After being out but few
minutes the jury decided that under
the circumstances the $50 was justi-
fled. In default of the 500 fine i'm
posed on Tuesday and the $50 fine of
Yesterday, the woman is in Jail. The
cast was tried before Judge Sumner
and is the last of the three cases
against her.

RA|NSARE UNPREC-
EDENTED
OSCAR REDFTELD, A RESIDENT
OF CASHMERE, WAS HERE %
YEARS AGO AND HAS SEEN NO
SEASON LIKE THIS ONE.

Oscar Redfield, now a resident of
Cashmere, with his wife, is spend
ing Thanksgiving with friends in this
city. Twenty-Five years ago this fall
Mr.. Redfield came into this country
and settled on Badger mountain.
Seven years ago he removed to War
ner Flat, between Monitor and Cash
mere, and until last year has made
his home ON a fruit tract there Last
year he sold his orchard tract and is
now living in Cashmere. Mr. Red
field stated to Daily World report
er that in all his quarter century in
this section he has never seen as wet
a fall as we are now having. There
has been more railfall during the last
two months than he has ever exper-
fenced here before, and thinks that
the climate of central Washington is
surely undergoing a change.
Mr.. Redfield has not been here
since June and was much surprised
at the improvement in the business
district of Wenatchee.

100000 TREES TO
Be PLANTED
MIR. DARLINGTON REPORTS THAT
SHIPMENT OF FRUIT TREES
WILL BE LESS THAN AN PRE-.
VIOUS YEAR.

Inspector Darlington stated that
though he had not made a count or
careful estimate of the number of
trees that are to be planted this fall,
yet he believes that there will be fully
one-half million planted to orchard
this fall Figuring so trees to the
acre, this means 625 acres. Besides
this, the spring planting will be as
heavy as this fall. Mr.. Darlington
also makes an interesting statement
as to the shipment of nursery stock.
He stated that prior to this year,
large portion of the stock used by the
growers of Chelan county has been
shipped in. This year outside nursery
representatives have had hard pick
ing, and but minor part of the
trees will be shipped in. The Stark
Brothers Nursery Co., the c. & o.
Nursery Co., Ed Daniels, Fred Hoff-
man and Cashmere and Leavenworth
nurseries have grown very heavily
this year in local plants and have
grown most of the trees to be used by
the growers in Chelan county

Nothing Doing About Militia.

Though the possibility of securing
a company of state militia for this
city seemed very flattering a couple
of weeks ago apparently the interest
has diminished. The Commercial
club committee appointed to
take the initiative steps in this mat
ter has turned the whole matter over
to the Spanish War Veterans with
the understanding that if the COM
pany was to be secured for this city
it would have to be through the eff
forts of that organization. The state
authorities must know definitely
about this matter within the course of
the next week, and if nothing defi-
mite is done towards securing a full
quota, the committee will inform the
state authorities that there will be
nothing doing in that line in this
city.

LAND AND |RR|GA-
T|ON CONGRESS
CHICAGO EXAMINER GIVES CON-
SIDERABLE SPACE TO E. Nj. Ell
LOTT OF THIS CIT-HAS MADE
TALKS BEFORE CONGRESS. :.

E NJ. Elliott of this city, who went
east to participate in the National
Land and Irrigation congress, is cut
ting quite a swath there. The Chi
cago Examiner of Friday, November
18th, gives considerable space to Mr..
Elliott, and states that he has made
three addresses before the congress.
1t says as follows:
alfred r. Urion, president of the
Chicago Board of Eudcation, presided
at the session of the National Farm
Land Congress last night. The big
ballroom of the Hotel La Sale was
crowded to the doors and hundreds
who could not gain admittance were
turned away. Every available space
of standing room was taken.
In the addresses the south view
with the west in the claims for ad
vantages for those seeking homes,
both sections of the country through
their representatives pointing out the
wonderful opportunities that are
awaiting new settlers. In taking the
platform E. M. Elliott, secretary of
the North Central Washington Devel-
opment league, presented President
Urion with an apple, which he said
was one of the largest and most per-
feet grown in Washington ct he de-
clared it was typical of Washington
fruit.
There is room for thousands of
comfortable homes in the state of
Washington. There are resources
sufficient to clothe and feed and
make comfortable tens of thousands
of people.
Il am telling the straight truth
when l say that person with fam
lily to support can come to Washing
ton with $500 or $40O and by good
judgment, economy and thrift can
within three years own a home of his
own worth $4,000 or $4,000.
I'VE, out there, are much interest
ed in what the government is to do in
tic preservation of natural resources,
as Washington has many. We also
are interested in the project for deep
waterways. We want some improve
ments on the Columbia river and we
believe that the opening of the water
ways of the country to commerce as
well as the Panama canal will greatly
benefit us out there.
This congress has given us great
opportunity to tell of the advantages
We can offer the people who want
homes of their own and a place to
live in their old age. Washington,
with its fertile soil, its timbered
lands, it's beautiful scenery and it's
climate stands ready to welcome
those who seek prosperity
