The loss at sea Of troop-laden

suggestion made by one of our CORE

portance. Our correspondent says;
Transports going to Manila from San
Francisco should go in pairs, or better
have them go over the path followed

of all hands, in case of accident, sucl
as running on uncharted reefs, uncon

The Authors Evening at the Kilo

company, mainly ladies. U. s. Judge

short address on poetry, with pleasant
personal reference to Charles Warren

other writer's of Island verse, made
way for Mrs. L. L. McCandless, who
read poems of the Judges own-s' Ha-

help, within reasonable time and be-
fore all are lost. History shows how
many thousands of lives are saved by
ships sailing over freqpented routes.
On account of the route now used (Ho--
nolulu to Manila), the majority of the
passengers are in fear and trembling
lest some dire disaster shall overcome
them, and they know that then ali
hope is lost: they must go down with
the ships or perish in the few small
boats or RATS, for there will be no
helping hand there. No expense should
be spared to adopt this system. Every
body who has to go to Manila breads
the trip on account of the present dan
gers, and it is wracking on the nerves
of many good worthy people, After
all these years it seems as though the
general staff. at least, should wake up
to the necessity. The few boats and
life RATS would do but little good
with 1000 souls aboard. Better have
consortl The lfeboats in mid.ocean
would just about save the crew until
| they starved to death. Since the
War of Independence the following
vessels of the Navy have disappeared
at sea with all on board: the Sara
toga, in 1886; the Pickering and the
Insurgent, in 1900; the Hamilton, in
1873; the Wasp, in 1914; the Epervier,
in 1915: the Lynx, in 1920; the Wild
Cat, in 1924; the Hornet, in 1929; the
Sylph, in 1881; the Sea Gull, End, in
1882 and the Levant, End, in 1860.
The Albany foundered at sea in 1854,
the cambridge in 1S42, the Grampus in
1921, the Commodore McDonough in
1865. These are some notable exam
pies from our own naval history of
the perils that attend those who go
y down to the sea in ships.

He was the only retriever which, when
set the task of hunting up strong run
ner which had dropped on the opposite
side of the River Bure, not only swan
that river as if he liked the task, but
getting his nose on the ground at the
fall hunted every inch of the trail of
the runner and brought it to hand back
over the river. Other retrievers had
been tried on the same bird, but some
would not even swim the Bure, and
that performance stood ont as the one
really brilliant item of the meetings,
and Flapper could not be kept out of
the stake.

well that once more he could not be

That it was case of wanting an

of hunting up a runner in roots, and
when he disregarded a hare which ran

Lucky Bread Winners.

The guessing contest over the
weight of the large sack OF Golden
Seal flour that has been on exhibit
ton in the window of the store OF
the Roberts Bros. Mercantile compa-
ny, came to an end at four o'clock
in the afternoon of Tuesday. AS
this hour approached men, women and
children gathered on the side walk
and in the street to see the closing
of the contest. When the hour ar
rived, Jesse Adams renewed his bet
Of one hundred dollars that he could
he found no takers and yet there
were numerous guesses ranging from
700 to 1000 pounds. The sack was
weighed by a committee in the rear
of Chas. Plummer's flour, feed and
coal store and tipped the beam at
five hundred and one pounds. There
was only one guess of this amount
and that was made by ID. o. Parett
of Denver. There were about sixteen
persons who registered guesses of
0UU pOuHuS. ne DoHd luz 6uOoS''hS
ranged from 225 to 5000 pounds.
There were guesses both above and
below these two numbers but they
were evidently made by children or
else made through error, for instance
one was 67 1-2 and evidently meant
637 pounds. One person wrote his
figures 10017 evidently meaning
1917. Another marked 100.005, evident
y meaning 1905. Judging from het
names Of responsible parties signed,
the two amounts heretofore mention
ed represented the extremes Of in
telligent and intentional guessing.
One party put in his ticket ''over ten
ton" AS an advertising scheme it
was a success, as a guessing scheme
it showed the wonderful variations
In judgment. The party who drew
it donated it to four needy families,
Of 100 pounds each and the balance

these same families. These were

Pleased With improvements.

Mr. N c. Merrill has been in the
improvements at the new bath house.
In conversation with him he stated
that he was well pleased with the
conditions as he found them in re-
lation TO the building and improve
ments, in fact they were better than
he had expected. He also stated that
it was not now his intention to lease
the property but that is long as 1t
remained under the present owner
ship it would be run by them. In
reference to the, various reports about
the property being on the verge Of a
sale he stated that these were mere
rumors. He did state however
that he thought these grounds and
springs should be owned and con-
trolled by the city and that he would
be willing to take long time bonds
at low rate of interest for the
property. He thought that it would
not only solve the question of a
handsome park for the city between
Miner Street and the south terminus
of the property but that the springs
themselves would pay all expenses
when put in shape. Public baths
could also be furnished as is being
done in SO many cities. 1t is his and
his associates intention to invest
every dollar that is made over and
above actual running expenses in
improving the property. 1t is their
design to wall up the creek and grade
on each side of it and then plant
to trees. This will be done just as
fast as the funds are available. 1t
is the impression that sixty percent
of the income of the baths will pay
all operating expenses, leaving about
forty percent for improvements. A
desirable change will be made in the
tunnel bath house. Several tubs will
be put in for the convenience of
those who simply want tub bath
This will mean the dispensing of the
old tub-baths except perhaps in the
summer season. By making this
change persons will be able to get
a soda tub bath whenever he desires
as this new building is always well
h led, lighted and has attendants
at hard all the time. 1t is the fur
ther intention to put in an elevator
for he benefit OF invalids who are
unable to walk up and down stairs.

The Siftings- News is in receipt OF
a letter from one Of the principal
owners of the Blue Ribbon Springs,
stating that the article published in
this paper several weeks ago in ref
erence to the proposed Improvements
at these valuable springs was substan
TALLY correct and that the owners in
tended beginning work when some OF
the aftermath of the law suits that
had been embarrassing was cleaned
up and everything gotten in prop
or shape. The writer was of the be-
lief that as a business proposition he
considered there was an excellent op'
portunity for making such an invest.
ment pay and at the same time be
a source of pride to this community
It is possible that few changes may
be made in the plans heretofore sug-
gested such as raising the present
building about three feet and instead
OF moving it east to build the addi-
ton on to the east side. This would
be the most economical method. The
other arrangement as set forth In the
columns of this paper will be adhered
to and our city may pride itself on
ha5 liz another sanitarium for cures
throuah these superior waters as well
as a &ne place for those to take tub
baths who have not that luxury avail
