Valuable Dog Lost and Found

After wandering through the
woods from Rutland to Sherburne.
a valuable l6 months old Russian
wolf hound was returned to his own
er, l. Heminway, of Chesuncook
Me-, purely by accident.
A few days ago very much fati-
gued, strange looking dog came OUT
of the woods to a lumber camp a.
Sherburne, where Frank Grey, oil
Rutland, is employed. 1t war
thought from the unusual appear
ance of the dog that it was a yer,
valuable one, and the people at thu
camp thought it might have belonged
to some tourist at the Woodstock
Inn. This was not the case, but til,
people at the Inn happened to ascer-
lain by telephone that Mr.. Hemin-
way, who was visiting at Hartland
had lost valuable hound, and tn,
dog of the lumber camp proved t.
he a $500 canine that a rich tourist
Grecian woman, had presented the
Maine man.
The dog was taken to Rutland by
Mr.. Grey and Mr. Heminway went
after it. When at home in Maine
the hound had been accustomed T.
roam in the woods and it is suppos
ed that it did the same thing al
Hartland aud lost it's bearings.

OF FUNCHAL AND gets OUT

Following on the heels of the AS.
sociated Press announcement that
cho.era las broken out in Funchal,
Madeira, the Territorial Board of I'M
migration has received word that A.
J. Campbell, the immigration agent
who has been securing laborcrs for
Hawaii, has had to abandon his er'
forts, and is now on his way from
Tunchal either to Cape Verde or to
Liverpool, England.
The abandonment of Campbcll's

prospects for labor immigration from
Portugal. Private advices received

tending the cotton plantation that
has been started IN a small way. The
scheme followed Is to plant water.
melons and corn between the rows of
trees while the trees are coming to
maturity. This furnishes source of
income while the cotton is growing
and after the trees are once estab.
llshed all they require Is ordinary
care TO produce continuous crop.
Mr. Gear has carried ON his work in
a small way, ginning the cotton with
q hand gin that had capacity of
twenty.slX pounds an hour This gin
cost seventy.fye dollars and cotton
baling press cost slS7. Besides the
ton Of carlvonicl lint that was Sc.
cured from the first crop Mr.. Gear
obtained ton and a hall Of cotton
seed which he put through one of
Renear's algarOba crushcrs and thus
, converted II into first class stock
food that win be fed to the animals
of the ranch.
This FIRST shipment of 1--WE bales
was brought from the other side of
the island in the alokolii by Captain
Scott and goes forward to New York
, on the American.iIawalian frelghter
I Alaskan.
The comment Of the purchasers will
lie awaited with great interest MS 9th.
ers besides Mr. Gear are doing con
siderable work in cotton growing on
this island and have great expecta-
lions for its success. The advantage
that this island has In cotton growing
IS that the fields here viii produce
the higher grades of cotton that bring
the highest prices In the markets OF
the world. The caravonlca IS a varie-
~ that comes from New Zealand and
1t brings as good or a better price
than the famous Sea Island cotton
OF the Southern States.

Honolulu's first shipment of Cara.
vollica cotton is on its way to the
market and although the quantity is
not large 1t is demonstration of
the possibilities Of new industry
for this island and undoubtedly for
ether islands Of the group.
The shipment consists of five bales
of cotton a total weight of 2lG9
pounds that was grown, picked. gin.
ned and baled on the Koolaupoko
ranch where A. " Gear has been at
work for some months past
Although much has been said OF
cotton possibilities and the good
prospects for growing the high priced
varieties. II will probably be surpris
ing TO the average reader that none
of the Hawaiian grown caravonlca
cotton has ever reached the stage OF
being prepared for the market
This cotton is expected to net TWEEN
ty.five cents pound on its arrival in
New York where 1t has been shipped

Experience in the production of this
first crop indicates that ton a month
can be taken from seventeen acres
and If carayonica makes the success
that first experiments give promise
four hundred and five hundred dol
lars an acre can be obtained.
One man in speaking of the pros
poets of the industry has made the
remark that II The people who ex
pect to make $500 an acre and those
who declare that the boil worm Is
eating up all the cotton would strike
and average they would probably
reach the basis of the future of the
industry in the islands.

soon be sent to the Territory.
The Associated Press did not carry
any intimaticn rs to the extent Of
the epidemic, but the Board of I'm
migration is possessed of information
that points to serious condition of
affairs. Dr.. Victor S. Clark said this
morning that 200 cages have been
reported in Furchul alone, and the
city Is facing bad siege with the
dreaded disease.
Nothing concerning the where
abouts Of NJ. !. silva, who accompa-
MED Campbell, is known. Campbell
will probably not be able to get ba *

immigration from the port IS out OF
,the question now, says DR.. Clark.

ORGANIZATIONS CONSOLIDATE.
Union St. John and St. John Society
 Better Insurance Rates Secured.

Ludger J. Morin, August Maynard, D. F. Jette, A. Bernier and D. Gagnon, acting as a committee of Union St. John Baptist, have succeeded in ar ranging for a consolidation of that organization with the St. John Bap- tist society in order that a more sat tion for the members of both societies may be created.
 Under the consolidation plan the members of St John Baptist society become affiliated with Unlon St John Baptist. Out of the total membership of the former society only eight voted against the change. The union now has a membership in excess of 15e-
 Under the old plan, each member of the St. John society paid an assess ment of $1 upon the death of a, mem Der; under the plan that will now be in force they, as members of the un- ion, will pay a regular fixed monthly assessment rate, regulated by the amount of the insurance carried and by the age of the person insured This does not mean that the St. John Bap- tist society will cease to exist, but that it's members will look to the other organization for insurance protection The local branch of the St. John so- ciety was organized in 1870, ard has always been regarded as the repre- sentative organization of the French Canadians in Danielson- The death rate among it's members has been so high recently, however. that it was deemed advisable to favor the merger herewith outlined
