NO DANGER BUOYS
YET AT WAIKIKI

Nothing has yet been done with re-
gard to replacing the danger buoys to
mark the holes in the coral off Wal
kiki. Nobody seems to admit any re-
sponsibility for this and therefore, of
course, nobody is doing anything
about it.
1t would be a matter of small ex-
pense to anchor two small can buoys,
each with a big danger sign on them,
but until somebody comes forward to
undertake that small expense, the holes
will remain a death-trap for the I'M
wary and unpractised bather.
Luckily the holes are not in a part
much frequented by swimmers, espe-
cially those who do not swim we'll. But,
since surfing has become such widely
enjoyed sport, there are hundreds of
malihinis who pass along the shore,
sometimes hoeing their boards, then
when they soon tire of this, getting off
and pushing them.
There is quite a strong eddy round
the holes and anybody who is not a
strong swimmer and gets caught, has
only a slight chance of coming out

LOUGHER HEARD FROM

rooms to the university buildings.
There are other kamaainas at the
same university and he says in part,

here. Mr.. Thurston IS son, Conant s
son and David Mann formerly of Eva.
Mann is through with his course and
Conant is going to Porto Rico as as
sistant chemist, on the plantation
where Mr.. Mclean, formerly of Kau-
al, is manager. -
Speaking of plantation methods and
how they do things back there, he
says, "The Hawaiian planters will
have to keep peggiug, otherwise they
will get left if they do not employ
men who have the latest bunch in
the sugar business. T have been down

lots of room for it,

He believes that the recent fatality
was more due to cramps than anything
else.

Until Fully
Recovered

A. P McQuiston- of the Glasgow
& Western Mining and widely known
as the inventor of the tube mill con-
centrating process, arrived in East
Ely last evening in company with
DR.. c. f. Pinkerton, of Salt Lake,
one of the best known specialists in
the west. They came to visit Joseph
Farren, managing director of the
Glasgow Western. who has been at
the Steptoe hospital under the care
of DIR. f. l.. r. Wallace, expecting
to take the mining man back to Salt
Lake with them this morning.
Mr.. Farren. however, concluded
that he would remain at the East
Ely hospital until fully recovered.
DIR. Wallace having brought him
through the crisis of his trouble, he
said he would prefer to recuperate
under his care to such point as would
enable him to leave in recovered
health. 1t is probable that the aged
but exceedingly gritty mining man
will conclude the examinations at the
Star mining property at Cherry Greek
which he was engaged upon at the
time of being taken i'll, before he re-
turns to his headquarters. He Is
now making very encouraging lm-
provement daily and is able to give
business matters attention.

Bad
Fire is Being
Investigated

Discovery of what had all the ear
marks of a fire of in%cendiary origin
at the zeal of the Toggery store on
Aultman street about IL Monday
night occasioned a great deal of in
dignation yesterday and much talk
of harsh measures in the event OF
discovery of the fire bug. Growing
from the fire was the appointment
by Judge Cartwright of l.. X. Polly,
A. j. Stevens, Frank Nevin and Lee
Murdoch as a jury to investigate.
They will report at 10 O'Clock this
morning.
The fire was discovered by Al
Peris, who ran into the saloon of
Bob Measmer and gave the alarm
Measmer ran out and with little
difficulty the flame was put out. II
appeared to have been run toward
the Toggery building by means of a
trench in which oil had been poured.
Had it gotten underway on the bnild-

loss to a number of business houses
and property owners.

LEWISOHN TALKS OF COPPER.

Adolph Lwisohn, president of the
United States Selling company re-
Gently returned from Europe, where
he has been for some time Regarding
his views on the copper situation
the Boston Financial News has the
following to say:
Mr.. Lewisohn expressed more or
less optimistic views regarding af-
fairs in the parts of Europe visited
by him during his two months stay
over there.
While in London he gave some at
tention to the copper situation. He
| said that he found a considerable
amount of metal stored in the va
| rious warehouses all of which were
included in the visible supply. Dur
ing his stay in London there was APP
parently a lull in demand and prices
| of copper were correspondingly low.
Mr.. Lewisohn attributed these IN
ditions to the fact that consumers
have been for some time sailing very
close to the wind and buying metal
only for immediate use.
Regarding the visible supply OF
copper in England he said that he
doubted whether there was very
much copper privately stored. "In
fact, l believe" Sc said that 1t Is
pretty much all in licensed ware
houses. The visible supply apparent
ly was very small indeed"
Mr.. Lewisohn further said that
the copper outlook abroad displayed
considerable improvent as far as the
near future was concerned. From
statistics that l have SEEM" he added
at was indicated that the consump-
ton of copper has increased since the
first Of the year. I doubt very
much whether thereshdrldI. zffffff
activity in the copper or in the
other trades until the tariff question
is once and for all settled"
