of the same opinion. that it is one of
the best oil wells in the state. In
stead of the gravity of the oil falling
down. it Is almost as high as it was at
first given out a recent test showing a
gravity of 81.
The coming in of the Mohawk has
aroused the greatest interest in oil cir

the telephone and telegraph wires were
kept busy throughout the night in
sending the news TO outside districts,
and many inquiries could not be taken

1t is said c. G. Wilcox has closed a
deal whereby he disposes of property,
adjoining that on which the Mohawk
gusher is situated, for. 100000. Par

had expired prior to bringing in the

IN MEMORY Of
THEIR FOUNDER
Memorial Service Held at the
Kamehameha Schools Is
impressive.

Memorial services were held in the
chapel at kamehameha schools. vester-
day morning, in continuation of a cele-
bratlon keeping fresh the memory Of
Mrs. Bishop. The Rev. ". B. Oleson con
Quoted the service, which was notice
able lnasmuch as it was nearly all in
the Hawaiian tongue. This custom is
carried out every year, it being thought
that by this means the day, and more
especially the sentiment connected with
1t, VIII be more readily construed by
the students
The scene IN the chapel was an i'm
PresslYe one. Line upon line OF boys
ana girls, with the Hawaiian blood
flowing III their veins, poured out their
love and devotion for her to whom
they owed 50 much, III hymns which
were her fav0rites when she was alive.
In the semldarkness of the chapel the
organ notes stole softly and presently
was heard the chanting III the musical
native tongue. 1t Is one of the flowers
Mrs. Bishop left behind her in her life.
the best and most beautiful of them
all
The service was opened by the organ
prelude, Il Waited for the Lord, = fol
lowed by the Doxology and the Invoca-
ton. The whole school then united in
singing one of Mrs. Bishops favorite
songs: 'Pauahi Ike Ali, = and later on
again the boys sang "Pauahi Ka-
lani.'i
The Rev. Mr.. Oleson based his ser
mon on the foundation Mrs Bishop had
laid for the future of her race. 1t
might be, however, that # she could
express her wish to them that it would
be that they would think less of her
personally and more of her work 1t
was the idea that she had in her mind
that is the great thing for them to
grasp and try to understand 1t was
for them to develop their lives as they
thought she would like them. But the
foundation was useless unless they did
this.
At the conclusion of the sermon the
girls of the school got together and
sent their famous cry ringing through
the chapel. An interIude and commu-
Mon followed and then the girls recited
the queen S prayer, which was special
~ written by. her majesty for her
subjects. The benediction and amen
closed the service.
Today at the mausoleum. the usual
services and observations Will be car
ried out. The whole school will be
there to do further honor to their foun
der and the ceremonies will be open
to the public.

TITLE TURNS MIND
OF JACK JOHNSON

If reports coming from the East are
but half true. then Jack johnson must
be in very sad plight. One wei!
known sporting character who saw

week, when asked about Johnson said:
Jack 5 dome has caved in, meaning
of course, that Johnson is losing his
mind. If this is true, then no one is
to blame but johnson himself His
fast life since the .Jetfries bout has evi-
IDENTIFY undermined that wonderful
constitution. The pace he set on his
return East from Reno would have kill
ed an OK.
1t is therefore no surprise to those
who have followed in his wake to learn
of the brea ldown. To make matters
worse Barney Oldfcld scared johnson
within an inch Of his life when he
crowded him on the turns in their
recent automobile match. Johnson IS
now in the Maine woods, far away from
all noise and excitement. where it is
hoped he viii regain some Of his health
They say his mind is a blank for sew
