In the corporation charter 1t means
that the telephone company will do
just about as II pleases with Honolulu
streets. As the present owners of the
company are local people, there is not
likely to be any great injury done. but
as the charter has twenty.seven years
to run and Is certain to become at.
tractiye to outsiders, the chances are
very good that Honolulu will before
the twenty-seven years have elapsed
find itself In the hands of telephone
trust that practically owns the streets
and penalties the city for using its
own property.

Cables from Washington regarding

as regards the naval stations of the
Pacific are Of the utmost importance
to Honolulu, although not n particular

lea In the Pacific. Manila and Olong.
apo are incidental. All naval opera.
tions will be carried ON from the Pearl

that Pearl Harbor will be a permanent
rendezvous OF the naval ships in the

pair shops will be developed. according
to the best and most modern standards
and while giving our ships the haven
they need In the center of the Pacific
also give Honolulu a population that II
so much desires.

The most important local hap
pening on the boards Is the annual
meeting Of the planters Associa-
ton to be held Monday. Aside
from the recording OF another
bumper crop, the principal matter
before the association will be labor,
and that will not be discussed in
public. Generally speaking. labor
conditions are good. There is not
a surplus, but the new avenues of
supply that have been opened up
are such as to prevent any serious
crisis, or at least will put the plan
tations in much more favorable
position than they have previously
been II a contest on the labor ques-
ton should be forced.

1t Is apparent that something In the
way OF new wage policy is expected

given out nothing to indicate that they
will do anything more than give every
workman every opportunity to make
good under the profit.sharing contract
system.

lull market for about ten days,
judged by the record of the year.
The week just past marked the
close of one OF the liveliest furries
and one Of the most unexpected of
the season. At time when brok-
ers and investors were planning to
walt for those carrying stocks on
margins TO get tired or frightened
a remarkable upward movement
started under the influence OF San
Francisco buying orders and was
kept up for about ten days. Then
the trading dropped off as sudden-
ly as 1t had begun, and the week
ends with all the atmosphere of a
dun market, despite the fact that
the quotations for beets in the last
two days have reached record figures,
the parity going to AGO.

Sugar prices have kept up the
stehdy advance. Raws advanced
from 4.30 to 4.36 and have held
strong at that figure. Meanwhile
the quotation for beets has jumped

average limit of advance for the
season, to 12s, 12s Sd and 12s

to be startling. but apparently has
no effect on Honolulu buyers and
sellers after a week of high prices.
Many feel that the advance is large

the fact still remains that the re-

much less satisfactory than was ex-
bected because the speculation could

the shortage OF the crop, the sugar

happen. The price may hold high

High School Notes.

Saturday, April 10 our ball
team, accompanied by about thir-
ty-five young people, took the
morning train for Hays to win
the game to take place between
t. G. II. S. and II. S. n. S. The
day bade fair to be perfect, but
as things are not always what
they seem, by the time the train
pulled into the beautiful little
city of Hays the elements had
conspired and the wind was
blowing a terrific gale with real
estate on the move. After hav
ing gone to the Windsor hotel
our party repaired to the Essex
Club rooms, where they spent
the greater part of the day The
wind still continuing to rage, no
attempt to take in the many
sights of the city was made, but
they did visit the. new Catholic
church which was being decor
ated for Easter. Promptly at
$3.50 the game was called on the
grounds to the southwest of the
Normal building. At first luck
seemed to be against our boys
and it was not until the fifth in
ming that things turned IN their
favor. The girls did their part
and some hard playing was done
after this, but a few wild throws
made our boys lose out and the
game ended in a score of 6 to 5
in favor of II. S. N. S. They
then returned to the Club rooms
from which they went to the ho-=
tel for supper. After supper
they had only time enough to go
down to the depot and get their
tickets before the train came in.
They let Hays know they were
leaving by giving them a few of
their yells as the train pulled
out of the station and also treat
ed the passengers to the same,
and in a short time arrived in
Wa-Keeney where they were met
by a large crowd. They again
gave their yells, having decided
that in our defeats we ofttimes
win our greatest victories.

aged II years, months and %
days. In 1859 he moved to Mich

the Fifth Michigan Cavalry of
Volunteers in the beginning of
the war, and at the close was
mustered out at Leavenworth,
Kansas. In 1880 he came to
Kansas, where he remained un-
til the time of his death. His
motto through life was, keep a
stiff upper lip, and through its
various vicissitudeS always lived
up to it and made his fight man
fully and nobly. He was a de-
voted husband and father and
kind neighbor and an excellent
citizen. In his passing Trego
county loses one of her truly
good men. On Wednesday af-
ternoon, April z, the funeral ser
vices were held at the M E.
