Honolulu, sept. I, 1888.
Dear King:
"A man has taken horse from me,
the animal was feeding on the land
that Mr.. French and myself hired from
YOU. Of course nobody had any right
to interfere. l hope YOU Will order an
enquiry to be made and the fellow pun
ished as il is equal to stealing,
''Yours obediently.
"RICHARD CHARLTON.
This is quite cute. Imagine a like
communication going to Governor Frear
or even to President Taft addressed
Ny Dear Bill"
There seemed to be a gentleman in
existence at that time by the name of
A. Miller who evidently assumed the
dignity of United States Commission
er. There is one epistle from his gifted
pen that would impress the Shah OF
Persia. but another communication
from another man calls him an unfeel-
ing, overbearing mad man. This spoils
the effect. Miller seemed to be a po-
lice officer of magnitudinal proper
tions: perhaps he was governor of the
fort, but there is no evidence to that
effect. so we can't convict him.
Mr. Miller said:
''Honolulu. Monday morning,
"April t, 1888.
ITO H. NJ. the King. kakiouli.
''Sire:
"'The Robbers are yours, justice, Quick
my King. In all Nations housebreak-
ing and robbery is death. 1t is for
YOU, Sire. to shew the world that JUS

Islands.

"A. MILLER.
Get on to the curves Of that. Mr..
Miller was some courtier' Some how
or other it reminds one Of Dumas IN
his gentler moments Now letter
from a Mr. Thomas IS to be considered.
This gentleman furnishes, by the medI-
UNI of his epistle, an insight into the
character OF Mr. Miller that is some
thing awful. Ordinarily it would not
be particularly interesting for there are
a dozen a day received in these stir
ing times that are fifty per cent. better
but it must be remembered that this
letter has been preserved among the
letters Of the foreign office and forms
part OF the history Of Hawaii.

The Portland Canal Miner, under

The Portland Canal Miner, under date of june 10th, in part says. A mammoth gold reef as yet 0nknown in extent, bat traced for almost twenty miles, lies right at Stewards door, and, according to mining men who, following news of the discovery, rushed to tbe location, itis the greatest free milling reef ever discovered in the North and perhaps in the world. AL though Portland canal district is now full of prospeetors, this greatest min eral belt of ali lay undiscovered. 1t is very easy to reach and in consequence hundreds of men are now treking to- wards it and it is stated there will be room for sR to locate, for the great white reef can be seen for miles as far as the eye can reach. 1t is purely free milling proposition and the first rock of the kind in any considerable quan- tity that has been found here. News of the discovery was brought down te the camp Thursday by c. M. Delgrove and Louis Anderson, who have been OF Che reef several weeks prospecting. They kept closed mouths until Clotier $ Ritchie returned assays of S49, an average for 3,000 feet, and S6, an average from five claims. As the result of the news the entire prospecting fraternity is ROW headed for the south fork of Bitter creek, about thirteen miles iD- land from Stewart.

On the banks of the Skagway river a mile above the city and opposite the railroad shops, is a model farm, one of the best in the district of Alaska. This farm until five years ago was covered with stGmps. Potatoes, corn and other hardy farm produce were planted any old place. Three years ago H. D.

The almost unprecedented snow fall of last winter has been the cause of the death of vast numb bers of moose on the Kenai peninsula. Chief Nicholai, of Point Possession, on Cock inlet, na tive who may be relied upon, says that within period of two weeks this spring he found the carcasses of eleven moose near that point The lean appearance of tke dead animals plainly told he cause of their demise to be lack of sGstenance. The deep snow prevented the moose frora reaching their pastures and likewise prevented them from ob taining food in the places where they eventually died from starvation. Near Kenai, also, num Der of dead moose were found. The season is very late and is interfering seriously with all ln- dustries.

PORTLAND FURNISHES
 EXAMPLE FOR PHOENIX
Commercial Club and Y. M. C. A. Both
 Occupy Eight Story Buildings.

Since the idea for Greater PhOe- nix club, to have a big building some where. in the city and do the work which the board of trade, Arizona club and other organizations are endeavor- ing to do. was first advanced, Harry Welch has been endeavoring to get all the information possible about what other cities have done along that line. He has collected some valuable data which will be needed when the time comes to organize such a club.
 Portland, oregon. has a commercial club that is a board of trade and social club in one, and which is proving an enormous factor in the development of the state. Publicity work, it seems, is carried on with a separate fund raised especially to advertise OregOn's re- sources.
 Following is a letter Mir. Welch re- ceived in reply to an inquiry le made: MT. Harry Welch, Ssecy., Board of
 Trade. Phoenix, Arizona:
 My Dear Sir-This will acknowledge your letter of November 30. The only thing that we have showing any pie lures of the club is our regular book containing the constitution. A copy of this is sent you in the same mail.
 We have almost 1,500 members and the club is more than self-supporting. though of course our building. which is our only property. is somewhat en- cumbered as yet. It is an eight-story steel frame structure, standing on a corner and occpying a quarter of a clock. The social features are well taken care of and in addition to ac- commodation for members there is a reception room and dining room for ladies
 "Our publicity work is supported by separate fund approximatins $6O.OOO every year. Our work is somewhat unique in that it emphasizes the op- portunities of the state rather than speaking of the cities.
 You will hear from Secretary Stone as to the Y. M. c. A. work here. They occupy a magnificent building of eight stories and I have heard it estiated that there is an average daily attend ance there of 5000 men. I am very glad to be of service to you and hope you will command me if can do any thing further

 William Glazier of engine company No. and Harry Bertolet of chemical engine No 25. who were pinioned by heavy girders, were able to talk with the rescuers and direct their work. John Carroll of engine No. was also able to converse with his rescuers, but succumbed before he was reached.
 In the meantime a greater disaster was threatening the men buried in the ruins. The north wall. which remained standing. began to totter and fears were entertained that it would crash upon the firemen at any moment.
 Superintendent Taylor hurried 300 policemen to the scene with instruc- tions to tear the wall down at all haz- ards to prevent its falling upon the frozen seriously injured men who were alive and further burying the probably dead.
 Six policemen are known to have been killed at 2:45 this morning when the north wall fell. At the time the wall collapsed about thirty policemen and firemen were working close to the tot tering bricks.
 Fifteen of this number were able to rush from danger, but the remainder were caught, many being crushed to death
 The total number of dead will prob abIV reach twenty

PAVING COMMITTEE
 HAS SEEN Fl PASO
Will Prepare Its Report For the Gen
 eraI Committee Today.

Having completed the investigation it was appointed by the city councI to make. the special committee com posed of Councilman Charles Stauffer, Dwight B. Heard and Roy s. Good rich returned last evening from Fl Paso. Today the committee will hold a meeting to draw up a report. which will probably be turned over to the general paving committee tomorrow.
 The investigators left for Fl PasO Monday evening, arriving there about 7:30 the next morning. They re- mained until after nine in the even ing During the day they visited ev- cry section of the city where pave ment has been laid. Fl PasO has fourteen miles of bitulithic pavement and has also tried out several other kinds.
 City officials. paving men and prop erty owners all treated the investi- gating committee with every cour- tesy, taking the Phoenicians wherever they wished to go and furnishing them with all the information they desired. They return with only the highest praise-for Fl Paso, which they found to be a modern, pro- gressive city.
 The preparation of a report, em- bodying what the committee learned last week at Redlands, Riverside. Pasadena and Los Angeles. and what was learned in Fl Paso Tuesday. will probably consume most of today but the members hope to have it ready for the general committee tomorrow. The general committee will include this report in one it will present to the council
