SOUND CABBAGE LOGIC.
Avoyelles Enterprise:

Avoyelles Enterprise:
For the past two weeks the cab
bage eaten by the people Of this
town we're grown in the Parish Of
Rapides. An entsrprising German
living d few miles from here goes
after them and sells them to our
town people. If it pays this man to
90 fifty miles after the eakbsges
needed by our people how mueh more
profit If these cabbages were grown
BY our own people? We are stating
y fact that these cabbages come
from Rapides and this should set our
farmers to thinHAR, and the first
thing that they should consider is:
are they runnmg their farms on the
proper and payi basis?

REGULARS IN
BREAD line"

"Speaking of men coming to the
Union Grill for handout, Z" said Man.
ager John Detor Tuesday sit is
nothing new to us. There are lot
of people who visit our back door, and
generally, If they re not drunk, they
get something. Why, there is one pen
sioner on our list who has had meals
there every day since the Grill opened
about eight years ago. He is an aged
Italian. who gets his breakfast and late
lunch regularly. He never has dinner
with us. He has free room at OF
near the Sailors Home. lie is unable
to work. As long as | can remember
his favorite resting place has been on
the Advertiser stairs
"There are lots of newsboys who
keep hunger off by waiting at the back
door for pieces of bread and odds and
ends. That saves them so much from
their earnings from paper sales.
"It's an old custom, and we seldom
turn anybody away, except as / have
said, drunks. / have tested the dunk
proposition. They touch us for money
to help them out. / have tried a dime
here and there, and then have followed
the men up. Sure enough they drop
into the saloon where they can get the
longest glass of beer.'
1t is said there are a lot of men in
town who apparently dropped down to
the Islands to bum, and that there are
hard eases on the dist. Many of these
are men dropped off the transports who
stow away. Transports coming from
Manila or San Francisco drop the stow
aways off here. Thero is no way to
stop this custom, as it is an American
port, the first the transports strike
either way.
Many men, however, have been re-
garded as hard cases, merely because
their clothes are rough. Many of these
are mechanics who came here to get
work on government jobs. Some of
them are working, and owing to the
fact that they are in town infrequently
their appearance gives rise to the idea
that they are buns. A few of the real
buns have been picked up and for
warded to the Reef.

SHOT At WALRUS
FROM DECK OF THE
ICE-BARRED BOAT

Captain John Alwen of the charter.
ed Matson steamer Hyades has been
with that vessel for the past four
years. Before she was taken over by
the Matson Navigation Company, the
Hyades was in the Alaska salmon
trade, and Captain Alwen has had
some exciting experiences with lee
bergs and ice foes. The Hyades was
frozen up in the ice the same time as
She oil steamer w. S. Porter, which
was here short time ago, and the
picture which is given on this page
shows her during the height of the
freeze-up. From the ice foes, sur
rounding the vessel, which are shown
n the photograph, the men of the
Hyades were accustomed to take pot
shots at the walrus as they elambered
over the frozen chunks. Strange T.
say, the men were unable TO get any
of the animals, for although number
were wounded during the week thai
the vessel was ice'loeked, all of then
managed to slip into the water undei
the ice and disappear.

WANT APPROPRIATION
FOR THE EXPOSITION

With request that the Territorial
government duplicate the Federal ap-
preparation of $4,000 for the Alaska
Yukon exposition, August Knudsen,
Commissioner of the Alaska-Yukon ex.
position and Special Agent Lloyd Childs
were callers upon Governor Frear yes
terday. The Governor listened to the
argument advanced in behalf of the
$25,O00 appropriation and he promised
to give the matter his thoughtful con-
sideration.
'We think that the Territory should
make the appropriation, said Commits
sioner Knudsen, in speaking of the mat
ter. "While it is not probable that
the money would be all spent it woult
establish a needed precedent in tha
connection. Regarded simply from tn,
standpoint of promotion work tn,
money could not be used more advan
tageously. The Territory will undoubt
edly derive great benefit from first
class display of its varied Commercial
products and resources at the fair. w,
are going ahead with the work in ,
careful and systematic way and Will,
there would undoubtedly be surplus
of considerable amount if the appro
priation is made we would have def
mite basis for figuring. We hope tina
the Governor will decided to recommend
it and that the Legislature will conside,
it favorably.'

EASTERN BUSINESS
MEN ON JAP TROUBLE

NEW YORK, January 29.-An i'm
portant movement with respect to the
Japanese question in California was
lnaugurated today at meeting of the
Board of Trades transportation com
mittee on foreign and insular trade.
1t was decided to "report to the board
that the merchants of New York appeal
to the merchants and manufacturers of
all other states to cooperate with
them IN lmpressing upon the people of
California the unwisdom of persistent
discrimination against the people of
Japan, which has shown its title to the
respect of the world at large, that
has proved itself to be a great factor
in the. citilization and progressive in
fluences of the world and whose trade
is of Importance to this country
AT the conference, which was COM
posed of the committee. and others in
terested in the japanese trade, were
| representatives of the General Electric
Company, Kuhn, Loeb & Co.. A. A. Van
! Tyn Company, the National City Bank,
the China and Japan Company, and
Muller, MacLean & Co.
The committee strongly deprecated
the agitation in California, and ex-
pressed the fear that it's continuance
will seriously affect the amicable re-
lations between Japan and the United
States 1t was pointed out that while
Japan sells us thirty millions more an
nually than we sell Japan, it is also true
that the SOS, 100000 of goods which she
sells us consists almost entirely of
raw materials not produced in this
country, such as tea and raw silks,
while the $40, 100000 of goods which we
export to Japan consist of manufac-
tured articles, the products Of our fac
tories and workshops.

DREDGERs At PEARL
HARBQR NEXT WEEK

Superintendent George Denison of
the Oahu railway, who is to have ac.
tual charge of the dredging at Pearl
Harbor for the Hawaiian Dredging
Company, stated last evening that in
all probability the dredger Reclama.
tion would be the first to be towed
down to Pearl Harbor, and the Gov
ernor soon after. Both machines may
be moored at Pearl Harbor by the end
of next week and ready for business.
Just where each one will be put TO
work depends upon the selection of
site made by Engineer Parks, u. s. N,
OF the Honolulu Naval Station. He
may decide to start the first dredger
lust inside the entrance to the chan.
mel. Which dredger is put to work
there will depend largely on the ma
trre of the hottom at that place.
