ing for Honolulu; this steerage con-
signment consisting of twenty Chi.
nese. Twenty-Five Japanese and 35S
Filipinos. She came with 1865 tons
of cargo of which 1862 tons were for
Honolulu and consisting of general
merchandise, rice, cigarettes and ci-
gars, bales of gunnies, chests of tea,
cases of oil, silk good, mating, sake.
peanuts, bran, shoyu and misc, beans,
gin, champaign and corn. In the car
go for San Fran ?cisco are 1,4S9 bales
of raw silk valued at S744,5OO all of
which is for overland points. The
local cigar and cigarette shipment
from Manila is very heavy, consisting
of ninety-six cases. The reason of
the Manchuria's delay is given as hav-
ing to take the southern route from
Yokohama for the sake of the health
and comfort of the FHipinos brought
here for the plantations. They were
suffering with the cold, there having
been a snowstorm in Yokohama when
the Manchuria was there.

 The raising of cotton in i:le valley has been experimented on for the past twenty-five years. Fine samples of it have been on exhibition at every territorial fair but few ranchers have devoted any large acreage to the fluffy product. sIt has been generally asserted that the raising of the cheap CT grades of cotton would not pay in

the valley on account of high freight rates to market and also because crops raised in an irrigated country must bring a little better market price than others to pay for the cost of irri- gation-unless, of course, there is more than one crop to the season.
 It is the purpose of the ranchers who are now experimenting. with cot ton to raise only the highest grade of the Egyptian product, which is far superior to that of most localities in the southern states. It has been prov ed by the government experiment sta- tion and by individual growers that this high grade cotton can be raised here.

NO LONGER A LAWYER.
Patrick is Not in a Position to Practice
 Anyhow.

New York, Jan. 2s.-Albert T. Pat rick, now serving a life sentence for the murder of William Marsh Rice. was formally disbarred as a practicing lawyer today by the appellate division of the supreme court
 Taking advantage of his position at the bar, Patrick had been able to fight his case for years, thwarting the death sentence, which was the result of his trial for murder. Later the governor commuted the sentence to one of life imprisonment.

Mistaken Ideas About
 Munici pal Ownership

The statement that the municipal owner ship movement IS on the increase in the United States is not correct. Whatever impetus there was along this line reached its crest about four years ago. Since then municipal ownership has been on the de- cline
 The desire for information on this sub ject eliminated in 1905 in an investigation in this country and abroad by twenty-one distinguished men of affairs appointed by the National Civic Federation
 Reporting in three large volumes in the summer of 1907, this committee found it. self unable to advocate the municipal own ership of utilities other than waterwOrks by the cities of the United States. The exception was made in regard to water works, because this utility intimately af- fects the public health and involves prin- ciple which no financial considerations should control.
 About the same time several of the larg- est cities which had been contemplating the municipalization of other utilities ruled decisively against the proposition by pop ular vote.
 Since that time the trend of the most active thought, particularly in the East and Middle West, has been in the direction of tue regulation or puDllc uClllCleS Dy state commissions, created by special enactment and appointed by the governor.
 Commissions of this kind were created in New York and Wisconsin, and have already performed much valuable service, both for communities improperly served by corpo- rations, and for corporations whose true condition and motives were misunderstood by the public.
 The public utilities law of Wisconsin is a most radical measure, giving the state commission almost unlimited control over all utility corporations except telephone and telegraph companies. Under this law three men of the highest standing were named as commissioners
 The chairman of the Wisconsin comms- sion is professor in the state university; another member is a prominent lawyer and the third memebr is business man. Prac- ticalfy all of the time of these men is given up to studying utility problems and decid- ing controversies brought before them.
 June, ?, 1908, the Wisconsin commission rendered decision in the case of the City of Dodgeville vs. the Dodgeville Electric Light and Power company. In itself the

Washington, Jan. 2s.-The govern ment is going after those who trans plant oysters from salt water to fresh water and frequently near the mouth of sewers, where they are allowed to fatten and enlarge beyond their nor nal proportions. thus making them much more marketable. but less de- sirable to the consumer.
 This was developed today in the testimony of Dr. Wiley, the govern ment chief chemist, before the house subcommittee.
