MEMORIAL.
The following Memorial Resolution
was adopted by the Board of Direc-
tors of The Wholesale Liquor Dealers
Association of Hawaii:
with un-feigned sorrow we meet
today to pay our earnest tribute to
the memory of Walter c.. Peacock in
whose death we have, indeed, suffer-
ed a keen personal loss. It was a
pleasure not given many to know Wal
ter c. Peacock, the man, as we, his
friends of many years, have known
him. To us his life has always been
an open book-a book with no stain
ed or sullied page; and as we read
from day to day, we learned not only
to cherish that gentleness of nature,
that true feeling of friendship, but,
better yet, to honor the man.
when such a man passes away,
when old friendships are severed and
business ties of long standing are
broken, it is meet that we should hon
or his memory with this brief and sim
pie eulogy; and while we realize full
well it's inadequacy as an expression
Of the loss which we have sustained
in his death, yet we feel, indeed, that
It is none the less a true and most
HEARTFELT tribute to his great worth"

CHEAPER SHOES
ARE NOT COMING
The New Tariff Will Be a
Disappointment to the
Consumer of Footwear.
No Reduction.

New York. Aug 17.--No whole
sale reduction in shoe prices as a
result of bhe new tariff and free
hides. They say that the pubic
wants good shoes. not cheap shoes,
and that II the quality is to'be main
tained, prices cannot be lower than
they are now. They all worked for
free hides, and express satisfaction
over the outcome, but state that the
chief benefit is in opening up the
worlds hide markets. More com
petition and steadier values in raw
material will thus prevail in the
future.
Nathl c. Fisher, of Nath1 Fisher

city, gave the following opinion yes
terday:
80 much has been printed in the
papers regarding the Is per cent.
duty on nides-now Temoyed-that
some are undoubtedly expecting n
material reduction j n;he prices Of
shoes. The facts are that only GER
tain kinds OF leather used I'm shoes
have been affected-:hat Is. only a
percentage Of the materials entering
into the makeup Of a snoe-and then
the only 10 per cent. on the cost Of
the original hide. so Shat the possible
change in price OF the complet earti-
Gle Is very small.
The item OF labor cost I'm making
shoe Ga large percentage OF the en-
tire cost still remains the same. az
also many Of the materials used.
For several months much higher
prices have ruled in the leather mar
ket than in the shoe market. a not
unusual condition IN the shoe bust
ness. due TO the time necessary TO
put the hide into the form Of a shoe
SO there will be no reduction I'm
prices OF shoes. and the reverse CON
dition viii no doubt rule.
We find the public demand good
shoes, not cheap shoes, and. to re-
tain quality. prices cannot certainly
be any lower than at present.

yorable for both manufacturer and

Road Has Plan to Modern

Have Asked for a Figure.
WOULD RIVAL
HOT SPRINGS.
Deal Held Up Temporarily
On Account of High
Price.

Richmond. Va, Aug. 17.-Nego-
tiations are pending for the sale OF
the property of the Greenbrlar White
Sulphur Springs, in West Virginia,
to the Chesapeake a. Ohio Railway
or to persons interested in the well
fare OF that corporation. provided a
suitable price can be agreed upon
for she famous resort. 1t is un-
derstood the object OF the proposed
purchase is to modernize the pres
ent grounds and buildings at the
Greenbriar White and to make It a
rival OF the famous Virginia Elo:
Springs.
1t is understood the trustees OF
the GreenbrIar property were asked
for bid, and that the deal is now
held up temporarily owing TO the
fact that the proposition submitted
was too high.
President George w Stevens, Of
the Chesapeake e. Ohio, speaking OF
The contemplated purchase, would
not deny that either he personally,
or his capitalistic associates. had
asked for figures. He acknowledge
ed that the purchase OF the property
was under consideration, but gave
out the impression that the present
owners wanted an elaborate price.
President Stevens did not hesitate
to say that I'm his opinion the pur-
chase OF the property would be OF
great benefit to the future OF the
Chesapeake e. Ohio and OF Virginia.
He could not be induced to state
that there was no probability of the
purchase being finally consummated
The purchase Of the White by the
railroad will probably mean that vast
improvements will be made there.
There are few people who do not
give credene 10 The rcport that the
sale Will ultimately be concluded
and that before another season the
famous old resort will be in other
hands.

Reported That Situation In
the Southwest Country Is
An Alarming One For the
Farmers.
WILL AFFECT
WHOLE COUNTRY.
Millions Go to Waste if
Rains Fail to
Come.

st. Louis. Mo-. Aug. 17.-The
, Southwest is in the grip OF the worst
drouth that has been known since
the year 1901.
Crops in Missouri, Northern
Oklahoma, Arkansas, Nebraska and
Illinois are fast drying up and unless
there is a sufficient rainfall soon the
loss will be enormous.
The effect of destructive drouth
a: this time, scattered over the great
grain producing section OF the Mid
die and Southwest can hardly be esti-
mated. A serious loss to crops this
year would have an exceedingly de-
pressing effect on the industrial out
look OF the entire country.
1t has been reported for some time
that the crop outlook was good, the
prospect OF heavy yield having a
tendency to buoy up conditions in
every line of commerce and industry.
