years past, a dispenser of water to
the many ships and steamers entering
this port. Yesterday he came near
losing his job, for as he stood discuss
ing the war with brother vet, a piece
of coal weighing several pounds fell
from a scoop and landed within three
feet of him on the wharf. IN speak
ing of it to friend, Mr. La Pierre said
he considered himself lucky, for if he
had been standing under the coal when
it dropped, it would have deprived him
of marching with the vets. this morn

FOR A TANTALUS HOTEL.

Editor Advertiser: The activity of
the Promotion Committee inducing
tourists to visit these Islands is really
praiseworthy, put more important It is
to entertain the strangers when they
come here, to show them the beauty
of our mountains aud valleys, and to
make it comfortable for them every
where.
Now, what is really needed for this
purpose is hotel on one of the Tan
talus lands, with fine view over Dia-
mond Head, and surrounded by Ha-
waiian forest of koa, kalia, kukui, le-
hua trees, tree ferns, ieie and male
vines.
The hotel should be arranged for
visitors for a short or long stay and
also for convalescents-as sanator-
ium it could not be excelled.
Many of the villa owners, about
twenty-five, and their friends could
and would take their meals at the
hotel, and daily hotel bus would be
an additional convenience for all par
ties.
This proposition should be carefully
considered, and, if necessary, a hotel
corporation should be formed, or even
the government should support a hotel
by a subsidy or a grant of land.
Many tourists believe that our
mountains are bare. and several of
| them left in the S. S. Alameda for
Southern California, because the en-.
virons of Honolulu Gas far as thew
knew them) had no attraction 70,

FARMERS MAKE DELIVERIES OF
COTTON SOLD AT TEN CENTS
Worst of the Bargain Was Theirs For
Once.

At several Americas warehouses
yesterday, as on Saturday, farmers
were delivering to buyers here the
cotton bales which they sold in June
and July for October delivery, at
prices ranging from 10 to 1912
cents. The difference in the sale
price and the price yesterday was
nearly three cents per pound, or SIS
per bale loss to the farmers who had
thus miscalculated the value of Octo-
Der cotton. In the early summer, ere
the size of the crop could be esti-
mated with any degree of certainty,
several farmers here sold a portion
of their crops for 10 cents, others at
10 1-2 cents, the bales to be delivered
in October. This seemed a safe
proposition at the time, but subse-
quent rising market made it a costly
investment for those farmers who are
now delivering cotton at 10 cents that
is worth II ga cents, or nearly SIS
per bale more. Several thousand
bales were thus sold in Americas and
nearby towns for October delivery
and the day of grace is at hand.

PRISON BOARD IN MEETING

Atlanta. ca, Oct 1.-THE state
prison commission is expected TO
meet at the state farm in Milledge-
vile Wednesday to consider the plans
and specifications which have already
been submitted for the proposed state
tuberculosis hospital and reformatory.
1t is already apparent to the COM
missioners here that the appropria-
ton for the six buildings is woefully
insufficient
In fact, according to the statement
of one of the commissioners the $4,000
appropriation for both tuberculosis
and reformatory buildings is hardly
more than is needed for the erection
OF one Of these buildings. "The ap-
preparation is s6,OOO," said one of the
commissioners, truth to tell, it will
take $4,000 to erect one of the build
ings."
