and there small orchard was started
with satisfactory results, bur no gem
eral movement was made towards
building up a big fruit business equal
to that Of the northern portion of the
Pacific slope.
1t has been discovered that the
lands that have been denuded of their
lumber are admirably adapted for the
raising of all the harder fruits. APP
pies, plums, cherries and peaches all
grow we'll and bear freely, while the
smaller fruits produce mammoth
crops at a season when the southern
berries are out OF the market and
when the prices are very high.
In it's statement of purpose the bu-
reau claims that it's activity is along
four coordinate yet distinct lines.
First-Advertising the natural adj
vantages of western Michigan to an
extent sufficient to secure settlers.
notwithstanding the praises of The
products of the region so as to cause
new demands and open new markets.
Third-Striving in behalf of the pro-
ducers and consumers for the best
possible transportation facilities.
Fourth-Conducting an educational
campaign designed to increase the
wealth producing power Of those al
ready inhabitants.
Their method of handling this mat
ter so far has been principally fur
nishins the newspaper press with in
teresting reading matter regarding
the territory covered and publishing
journal containing maps and state
ments of facts.
They will make an exhibit of fruits
at the United States Land and Irriga-
ton Exposition, to be held in Chicago
from Nov. Goth to Dec. 4th.
In the future they expect to make a
series OF exhibits in the big eastern
cities, and they will also distribute
western Michigan advertising at the
same time.
They also expect to give systematic
instruction regarding agricultural and
horticultural development to the peo-
pie of the region.

McHENRY MAKES
AN EXPLANATION

Umpire McHenry makes the follow
ing statement with regard to the pill
kia at the Athletic Park last Sunday:
"When Peyton was running for Sec
ond base from first base the condi-
tions were such that it was impossible
for me to see everything at once. The
catcher made a bluff to throw to Sec
ond, then tented to throw to third
and finally threw to second.
81 followed his motions and expected
that the scene of battle would be at
the home plate, as there was a man
on third and one on first. When the
ball was finally thrown to second base
I turned my head ana caught sight of
Peyton reaching the bag and the field
er holding up the ball in sign to me
that he had touched him.
% Either the fielder touched Peyton
two feet before he reached the plate
or he did not touch him at all. What
decided me in making my decision was
that the fielder was too quick in ex-
hibiting the ball.
81 consider the action of the J. A.
c. in walking off the field entirely un-
called for. l have always been quick
in my decisions and always stood by
them. Had I wished to be unfair, I
should certainly not have taken such
an opportunity. Presupposing that [
was preiudced in this matter it would
be, absurd to suppose that I should
chose such time in which to show it.
"'The manager of the J. A. Cs,, in
making his statement that 1 was in
tentionally giving his team the worst,
by close decisions, must have over
looked the very close play at the home
plate in a previous inning, when Jap
runner reached home about the same
time that Louie Soares touched him
with the ball.
cit was a very close play and l gave
the runner the benefit of the doubt
the same as I did Pevton on the play
at second and the Marines made ret
the slightest protest. The ]. A. $.
should take the bitter with the sweet
and let it go at that.
at would correct a statement in The
Advertiser of Monday morning IN
which it stated that Brito was guilty
of the accident to Davis. It was
Franco and not Brito. Personally L
DO not believe that the hooking of
Davis was intentional"

MODEL YACHTS
MERELY DRIFT.
Prince Cupid Is Host at Luau
After Taking Part in
the Race.

Prince Cupid may be great one
at Washington and have big stand-in
with all the powers that be, but he is
certainly on the outs with the weather
department. On Sunday he could raise
only just enough wind to blow him
over the line in small boat sailing
race and yesterday his model Sham
rock, with a huge in-keel, designed
for steady blow, came in worse than
third.
The occasion was the celebration of
Kalakaua s birthday. The harbor was
the scene of much excitement among
local model yacht sailors and the slight
wind that blew from the southwest was
a subject of much adverse comment
and disappointment.
The course gas from off the Myrtle
clubhouse out to the bell buoy and re-
turn. The channel had to be followed
IN every case.
The rules are that a boat can not
be touched unless it goes outside the
channel, then the tiller may be switch
ed and the owner. from his rowing
boat, may set his yacht on the right
course.
After passing the spar buoy model
may not be touched unless it goes far
enough out of the course to- warrant
a redirecting. Then the owner must
notify the judges and obtain permits
sion to set the tiller for a new course
On the return, supposedly to wind
ward a boat may be touched only at
the end of a tack, when the owner
has right to put it about and set
1t on the other tack. The rules were
followed closely by all the competitors
and there were no fouls of any kind.
Had there been more wind the race
would have been very interesting one
10 watch. As it was, it was muen
of drifting match.
The finish between Willie Hall s
Daisy and Fridays Myrtle was a fair
" close one. The former crossed the
line short distance ahead of the lat.
ter with the Wild Swan third, Sham
rock fourth and the other boats bring
ing up the procession.
All those who took part in the races,
as well as many local yachtsmen and
a large part OF the Hawaiian water
front community, all the water sports,
in fact. we've invited to Prince Cupid s
place last evening TO take part in a
luau and general celebration of the
day.
There were several speeches made
both in English and Hawaiian and the
old man who runs the weather depart
ment. came in for all of the oppro-
brium. There was one Jolly good time
and Prince Cupid made a speech in
which he asserted that the Shamrock
could win under ordinary conditions
He challenged all the other entries to
a race to take place at some future
date.
The Princes offer was eagerly ac-
cepted and now there may be almost
as much excitement over model Yacht
sailing a. there IS over the sea -feas.

his food entry, went at Cullen like a

Then ensued a great bout. For two
rounds they went at it hammer and
tongs and finally time was called after

in hard and Dick dancing away from
him.
