Yokogawa Hustles.

Mori S bonds had been fixed at $4,000,
and all his efforts to get bondsmen had
resulted in failure. But Yokogawa
hustled around Honolulu with sub
scription list to get contributions to
make up a purse to make it worth
while for men with money to go on
the bond. He did fairly well here and
then returned to Maui, where he cir
culated his list, and by strenuous en-
deavor secured enough to be able to
guarantee the sum of $3.50 to each of
three bondsmen in return for their
taking chance. Under this induce

Capt. Fiske of Flagship
Argues for Best
Navy.

Admiral Sebree's feet of eight
armored warships represent the poten-
tial strength of million soldiers I'M
der arms, is the declaration of Captain
Bradley Fiske, United States Navy,
commanding the admiral's flagship
Tennessee, made an address on ''The
Navy delivered before members of
the Honolulu Branch of the Navy
League at the naval station yesterday
afternoon. Captain Fiske is a recog-
nized authority on technical subjects
relating to naval development.
The eight armored cruisers sailing
today, represented, he said, concen-
trated power, and for a comparison, he
stated that the armament and effec-
tlves were equal to a whole million
men armed with modern rifles. The
captain asked whether it would be
possible under any conditions to move
one million men from San Francisco
to Honolulu i'll five days as the Ad-
mlral had brought his eight ships here
with their tremendous tonnage of
armament and tons of explosive shells
and powder.
This comparison alone indicated what
an element of mobile power a navy
represents and was presented as an
argument in favor of the best navy
possible for the United States. The
sixteen battleships, which made the
famous tour of the world appealed to
the public from a spectacular standpoint.
but when regarded in the light of the
power each ship as a unit represented
the whole fleet might have been com
pared to an army of 5000 600 soldiers.

EAST IS BEATEN AT
 MAGAZINE PUBLISHING

Chicago. March 14.--(Speclal.)-Th
 West now has the East beaten at magazine publishing. according to of- fclal figures of the Postoffice Depart ment which put Chicago in the lead of Boston. once pre-eminent in the mag azine field. To Chicago IS accorded the record Of 75,OOO. 900 pounds of second class mall matter annually with one single magazine, Woman's World. con tributing 5000.00 pounds of the total as its monthly ma!llngs to subscribers It's circulation being now larger than that of any other publication in the United States or in the world.
 The increase of Chicago's second class mailings. which included newspa- pers and trade papers as well as mag azlnes. increased from 1897 for ten years at the rate of 10 per cent a year The panic cut S1wn the total for 1908 and the practice of mailing sample copies mas been discontinued by most of the publishers. The records show that the 656 Chicago publications in 1898 mailed 44.0O0, 900 pounds that the 665 In 1907 mailed 77.O0o, 900 and the '76 in 1908 mailed 7s.0O0,O0O pounds. |

This year will see a total of 75.ooo.ooo or more
 Twenty years ago Eastern cities. particularly New York, Boston and Philadelphia, held pre-emfnsnt rank in the magazine field. but when Western magazines entered the field the pub- fishers who were most successful adopted original methods and In par ticular they smashed time- honored conventions of the East as to subscrip- ton price for magazines of general circulation. A number of them have shot to the front with a speed which has been astounding. George H. Cur rier. the publisher of the magazine with 2.0o0. 0.oo0. having out-stripped hls rivals by buying various magazines and combining them Into one of enormous circulation. In 1900 he started with a capital of less than 31.000 and with a subscription list of less than 12,000. and now his mailings of Woman's World are the biggest item handled by the United States Postoffice Depart ment, requiring 24,000 sacks. going to every State and Territory in the Union and to Canada. Mexico. the West In- dies, Hawaii Islands and the Philip pines.
 Meanwhile the circulations of East ern publications have been growing notwithstanding that the publishin business sees few large successes and many failures. Those which have att tained great national circulation hay- ing become enofm ously profitable, the stock of the Curtis Publishing Com pany of Philadelphia, not being pur- chasable and said to pay 50 per cent. a year and the profits of the Munsey publications having reached e total of million dollars year.
 The competition of established mag azines of the East has wrecked many promising attempts In the Western magazine field, those which survived and reached the point of financial suc cess and enormous circulation being chiefly those of low cost. In their cases magazine publishing has become. 1t Is said amazingly profitable. For example, Mir. Curriers' investment of $1,000 has now grown from profits to a $2.500,000 corporation and the quar- ters have changed from one room In an office building to two hve-story structures in which 500 people are eni- ployed. Compared. however, the East ern magazines, such as with McClure's. the Cosmopolitan. Everybody's, with a combined circulation of 1,400. 900, the capitalization of publishing houses fin the West still Is inconsiderable, each of the three mentioned magazines be- ing valued at several million dollars. The Ladies' Home Journal, with cir culatNOn put at 1.250.o00, is popuIarly known to be held at $15,o00, 900, and the Munsey, magazines have become a $10,000, 900 property. The big successes of the West are growing so fast that new capital Is constantly required but now are earning up to s600,000 a year.

Questions of supplying Louisians Ci- ties Causes Comment.
 New Orleans. La. March I@-The question of supplying natural gas to cities in Louisiana and neiRhborine states. has now become one of general comment and discussion in this sec- tion.
 Following the development of the gas and oil fields in Caddo Parish, La, u Is proposed to pipe the gas product thence to New Orleans. a distance of @oo mics. with this main line tapped TOT supply to many other places.
 This possibility has assumed con- crete form in an application for fran chise submitted to the City Council of New Orleans. Shreveport, La, and Texarkana. Ark. both within . radius or forty milas of the field. have been deriving their gas supply from that source for the past two years. A num- Der of other places in Louisiana, Ar kansas. Mississippi and Texas are in- cluded in tentative plans that would bring many large pipe lines from cad- do territory.
 The Caddo field was discovered about four years ago and while the oil devel- opment there has progressed with con- stant extension. 1t was only in re- cent months that the gas possibilities
 
 in the past few weeks several gas wells have been sunk with a daily average capacity of 50,0o0. .0O0 cubic feet each. The proved territory ex- tends over a section about twenty miles long and half as wide. In this field Is located what Is declared by a United States government expert to be the most remarkable example or wasted fuel in the world exist These are two wild wells, one consuming 6O,00o.000 cubic feet of gas daily and the other 50000.000 cubic feet. The glare from the flaming wells is seen at night for distance of thirty miles,
 In connection with the proposed in- creased utilize ton of the extensive fuel supply. the nearby location of the sul- phur mines of Calcasieu Parish and the salt mines of Iberia Parish, will, it is declared, probably mean the establish ment of practically a new industry in this section, that of the manufa cture of certain chemical products.

 Mans life," he explained, "is a great opportunity for serving Christ His money Is useful in service as part of his equipment. A mans investment of money may be in commerce, or in- tellect or spiritual tsings. The divi- dends from each will always vary with the kind of investment.
 "One is under obligation to invest spiritually. Giving is demanded by obedience to Gods will and the rela- ton of man to his fellow-men as brethren. This involves g duty to the Church in the propagation of its doc trines.
 Giving is a spiritual necessity. No man can make progress individually without giving. Otherwise he Is in danger of being fin covetousness. The danger arises not so much from the way the man uses the money but the effect of the money on the man. While he is getting pleasure. pleasure may get him.
 "There is a blessedness in giving If a man receives money. he only in creases In worldly goods. but if he gives 1t away. he gains in character and sympathy. He who gives gets the real toy out of living. and what he gives is a personality in character"
 In the evening. at the Central Pres byterjan Church. he took as his sub feet Missionary Enterprise" speak ing of the spiritual aspect of the work He described the part each individual might take and the benefits accruins from the service each mav renoer.
