The Early Military Band.

A little more than 70 years ago there
was no such thing as a brass band in
existence. The very first band entire.
~ Of brass dates, in fact. no farther
back than 1885. Prior to that time
bvsn our military music was produced
almost entirely from instruments Of
wood. and as recently as 1888 a full
regimental band consisted of two
oboes. two clarinets, two horns and
tive bassoons.
Az showing the important part
played by the sounding brass" in our
bands to-day 1t is SUFFICIENT to mention
that in an up-to-date hrstclass band
Of, say. 40 pieces there would probably
be found from eighteen to twenty
horns. to saw nothing Of saxophones,
which are partly clarinet and partly
horn.

HAWAII MUCH
IN EVIDENCE
Territory's Representatives Are
Honored at Irrigation
Congress.

Hawaii was kept decidedly in evil
denee at the Irrigation Congress which
was held in Spokane recently, ac-
cording to letter which has been re-
ceived by Governor Frear from For
ester Ralph Hosmer, who went from
here to represent the Territory at the
Congress. The representatives of Ha-
wall were treated as honored guests and
their request that the Congress aid
Hawaii by urging the extension to this
Territory of the Reclamation Service
was met by the passage of resolution
to that effect Mr. Hosmer IS letter to
the Governor follows:
Standpoint, Idaho, Aug. Is, 1909.
Hon. Walter f. Frear,
Honolulu, Hawaii.
Ny Dear Governor F'rear:-1t gives
me much pleasure to announce that on
Friday morning last the Irrigation Con-
gress unanimously adopted resolution
favoring the extension of the Reclama-
tion Act to Hawaii.
The report and recommendations of
the Resolutions Committee was approved
and adopted without change The para,
graph in question reads: 1--WE urge the
Congress of the United States to extend
the Reclamation Act to the Territory
wording of our own resolution, the pre-
amble being omitted, in conformity
with a general rule.
Throughout the Congress we were
agreeably surprised to find so little op-
4
many friends and the evident justice
of our claims seemed to appeal to those
who were not already familiar with our
conditions. We. had a majority of the
Resolutions Committee pledged but
when the matter came to a vote there
was no opposition, beyond one question
as to the legal status of our lands, from
Mr. A. C. Campbell of Washington, D.
c. Mr.. Campbell seemed satisfied with
my statement and the resolution was
approved by the Committee.
Friday noon | sent you a cabfegram:
HResolution favoring extension Recla-
nation Act Hawaii adopted unanimous
ly.n
Mr.. Babbitt listed those who helped
US especially. I would merely add that
beside Mr.. Newell we are particularly
indebted to DR.. Pardee and DR.. w. j.
McGee.
At Mr.. Newell s suggestion I have
written to Senator Carter, of the Senate
Committee on Arid Lands, now en- route
to Seattle, requesting that the Hawaii
delegation be given an opportunity to
be heard. The committee is to be in
Seattle about August IS. Mr.. Knudsen
and I, with others who may be on hand,
plan to make statements and file briefs

in support of the bill now pending be-
fore the committee. Mr.. Newell lett
Spokane Wednesday night TO join the
Senate committee. He viii be IN Seat
tie at the time of the conservation mees-
ing, as will also Mr.. Pinchot and DIR.
McGee.
l have had sent to you files for the
week of the morning and evening pa
pers of Spokane. Hawaii did not get as
good press mention as could be wished
but as a matter of fact the Territory
was kept decidedly in evidence. We
were the first to file our list OF officers;
our resolution was the third or fourth
received and read; we were given
good place on the floor and our wants
looked after with especial care by the
permanent organization. In the after
noon parade Thursday we had carriage
decorated with Hawaiian flags and pla-
carded Hawaii We were given the
place next to the first float, practically
the right of the line. In many ways
we were made to feel that we were
specially honored guests.
In the week before Hawaii Day
august PSI I expect to see something
of several national forests. Mr.. Lord
ana nave come over mere over ounuay
to see good stand of western white
pine in the Pond d Oreille national
forest, near Standpoint. Early in the
week I go to Seattle.
For the Washington Conservation AS
ISOLATION IS meeting the First National
Conservation Congress- places have
been given Hawaii as follows:
THE Progress of Conservation in
Hawaii. Ralph S. Hosmer.
The Waste of War. "A. T. Knud-
sen.
The Work of the Woman S National
Rivers and Harbors Congress. Mrs.
Margaret R. Knudsen.
OF course the last two are general
in character but the personality of the
speakers will keep Hawaii to the fore.
There were many inquiries for you at
Spokane and expressions OF regret that
you could not be present. 1t is needless
to say that these regrets were shared
by all the members of our delegation.
Sincerely yours,
RALPH S. HOSMER.

TONG KIT ON TRIAL.

The trial of Tong Kit, indicted for

begun before jury in Judge De Bolt s

that Tong Kit drew gun on coun-
tryman with intent to perforate him.

Tong has an unenviable police record.
Only last year he was sentenced to

he seems to have been up to his old
tricks again.

Not only the houses of the Mex

told of Sir Spencer st, John, the Eng

cident which would have meant GER
tain death for the five ballOOnists.
When the philadelphia was far
above the heads of those watching its
rise, DR.. Thomas A. Eldridge, who was
in charge of the aerial expedition, dis
covered that the 'appendix" failed to
work. He realized that the balloon
might at any time have to be relieved
of quantity of gas or its expansion
might burst the silk envelope and
pitch the balloonists to certain death.
When he explained the situation to
his companions, the thought OF their
perllous position gave them some I'M
easiness, but Howard was equal to
the unforeseen contingency. One of
the leading athletes of the athletic as
ISOLATION, he swung himself up one of
the ropes extending from the basket
to the silk envelope, displaying un,
usual strength and agility as he did
so.
Although a thousand feet in the air
for the first time in his life, he coolly
went up the rope, hand over hand
until he reached the appendix" or
gas aperture The balloon swayed
from side to side as Howard adjusted
the valve so that DR.. Eldridge could
control it with the appendix string
from below.
Howard was in full view of scores
of friends gathered in front Of the ath
| letic associations clubhouse far be
low him, and they tossed their hats II
the air as they enthusiastically ex
pressed their approval of his bravery
He descended from his dangerous pc
sition as nimbly as he had clambere(
up to 1t, and the other occupants O
the basket warmly grasped his hand.
"Howard's act was one OF the cool
est and most courageous acts | have
seen done in all my bal!ooning expert
ence," said Dr. Eldridge.
Once the gas valve had been fixed
the voyage of the balloon was unevent
full. It assembled to an altitude of 400
feet, being carried by varying air cuf
rents in an easterly direction until tn
Atlantic coast line was family dis
cerned. DR.. Eldridge then decided
was time to descend and he opene

New Orleans.-In an address be-

elimination of politics from the state
medical boards.
Il earnestly urge he said, land

DR.. Witherspoon also urged that
the young men of the South VINO de-
sire to study medicine should have
a better preparatory education.
One of the important subjects To
come before the meeting was the dis
cussion of pellagra and its causes
The hookworm disease was also dis
cussed. 1t was the general opinion
that pelagra was not caused by eat
ing musty corn, but was the result
of diseased nerve centers.

SHORTAGE IN SUGAR CROP.
Cane Yield Is Heavy but saeehar'ne
is Running Light.

Baton Rouge.-Cane grinding that
has been done on a number OF su-
gar places in this section has DEM
onstrated that the September storm
damage was not in broken cane' out
in the loss of saccharine caused by
the uprooting and stripping OK the
storm.
Cane that should yield $50 pounds
of saccharine to the ton, and Which
did yield that amount last year, is
producing an average of only about
IS pounds, and the manager OF one
of the large sugar plantations, VINO
last wear made total of 25O,OOO,oOo
pounds of sugar, this year will not
make over 10000 pounds, Judging
from the present yield of a ton per
acre.
The tonnage is as large. or even
larger than last year. but many OF
the planters report similar falling
off in saccharine, and think 1t Is due
to the fact that much of the cane
was disturbed at a critical period OF
its growth.
