tied the Name and Distinction.

Several years ago two men, j. P.
Slaughter and C. G. Taylor of Bur-
lingame took inventory of their world
ly goods and decided to organize a state

In the island of Savaii, in the Samoan
group, during an August night in the
year 1905, there arose from the midst
of peaceful cocoa plantation a vol
cano that in the four years of its still
eeaseless activity has sent forth more
molten lava than has any volcano of
which there is human record. "a. n.
Ford describes the scene fully in the
current Harper S Weekly.) Today this
flow of lava, in some places seven hun
dred feet IN depth, is filing up the sea
along frontage of more than seven
miles, has destroyed about fifty vii
lagos and as many square miles of what
was once the most productive in area
in all Samoa. From Apia, about fifty
miles away on the island of Upolo, it
is sometimes possible to read at night
by the glare of the Savaiian volcano,
whose twin pillars of vapor by day
become transformed then INTO columns

COURSE SHOULD
De KEPT CLEAR
Riders in Small Surf Run Big
Risk When Course Is
Not Clear.

Something will have to be done
about the riders in the malihini surf.
If they will not take the advice OF
the Outrigger Club and keep clear of
the course somebody is going to be
badly hurt and then the great Hawai-
ian sport will get black eye from
which it will take years to recover.
Out in the big surf where the ex-
perts nearly always go, there is prac-
tically no danger. Those who can hoe
for nearly a mile and then come back
standing on their boards before the
immense breakers, may be trusted to
look after themselves but, in the small
surf. conditions are entirely different.
The small srrf-and it is not always
so awfulty small breaks and runs in
over a stretch of sand directly in front
of the Seaside hotel. The breakers are
sometimes long and heavy, sometimes
eonverging to an apex and sometimes
mere bluffs on account OF the back
wash that hits them,
Nearly every afternoon there are at
least twenty-five suffers in the small
surf and on Saturday and Sunday aft
ernoons there are as many as hum
bred and even more than that. The
returning surfer walks back again or
hoes according to how he feels. Many
of them. are youngsters who are none
too apt In the management of board.
Instead of bearing well to the EVA
side of what may be termed the course
that area over which the surf is
breaking strongly they return the
same way they rode in.
The consequence is that sometimes
ten riders will come bearing down on
as many returners, all punched to-
gether Ducking and the good Angel
that holds the fool-killer back, have
prevented any serious accidents so far,
but there have been enough minor ones
to make it worth while for parents,
whose small Riddles go out in the surf,
to give them explicit instructions to
go out to the surf out of the course.
Half a dozen minor accidents that
have kept the victims out of the surf
since the accident, could be named.
A board with an average rider weighs
more than two hundred pounds and,
when you get body weighing two hum
bred pounds going along at twenty
miles an hour, about the speed attain
ed on a large wave. anybody who stops
it is going to get denied somewhere.
The whole thing is so needless, too.
If people would only take the trouble
to keep out Of the way. Since the
hint was given in the Advertiser about
people lounging in the road of the
suffers, the swimmers have taken the
tip and kept clear. Now it is up to the
suffers to get wise and make point
of always going out to their starting
point to one side of the course. The
water is shallnwer there and it is easier
walking so that it is mere. thought
lessness that makes people chase out
in the direct path of half a dozen I'M
stoppable boards coming along at a
high speed.
The officers of the Outrigger Club
can only express their sentiments, no
body has any actual jurisdiction in the
matter, but if parents of small boys
and girls would make them promise
to keep clear of the course, a deplor
able accident may well be averted.

ACTION, BUT SPEED FIRST.

The general manager Of the largest
horse selling establishment in the Unit
ed States remarked recently that
one of the principal results of the
introduction of automobiles had been
to greatly increase the demand for
speed in the fashionable carriage horse.
81 People get used to going fast in their
ears. he said, .'and when they come
to buying coach horses they ali want
a bit of step-a good bit, I may say.
Next to conformation, it S the first
thing they look for If horse can t
step away the dealer is wasting time to
show him in most cases, for the custom
er won't buy. Snowy action was the
main thing only few years ago, but
Get there seems to be the watchword
with every body now. Of course, the
one that combines speed and action,
but speed comes first = The only breed
of harness horse in the world that can
FL the demands Of the public in the
direction Indicated by this gentleman
statements is the trotting bred horse.
Other breeds furnish horses with plenty
of action but none of them combine
speed with that quality. That .the
hackney men realize this is indicated
by the fact that they are quite general
ly mating trotting bred mares with
their hackney stations. While the
hackney men find it necessary to go to
the trotter to get the required speed
to combine with action, it is not
necessary for the breeders of trotting-
bred horses to go to the hackney to get
action to combine with the speed they
already have. There are many strains
of trotting> blood which produce plenty
of action, and it only requires careful
selection of individuals to enable their
breeders to produce horses bred entirely
in trotting lines but possessing the speed
and action demanded by the present
day market.-Horse World.

Frank Star and El- liott Hannon, also charged with as sault on the two detectives. appealed to the grand jury and made bond for their appearance before that tribunal
 The cases against the six men grew out of the attack on the two detec- tives on Juno last. as the detectives were leaving the court house after a preliminary hearing of the liquor cases before County Judge '. B. Cas- ton.
 At the adjournment of the court the two detectives with their suit case containing thirty odd half plnts of li- Quor, alleged to have been bought in violation of the state pronioition laws. left the court house with the crowd of spectators. Outside the court house and In front of the county jail. tns crowd began fighting the two detec- tives, and in the melee the suit case containing the liquor and memorandum of other concrete evidence was splrit- ed away, while the two detectives were badly beaten up
 Doubt stiil attaches as to the where abouts of the suit case and the mem- orandums, and the evidence is lacking as to the identity of the man clad in blue serge who was seen running down Perry street with the suit case after the fight.
