Harsh Conditions Spell
Tragedy For LabOrerS
Leaving For Alaska

The communication published be-
low, written by reputable and reli-
able resident of Honolulu, was sent
to the Star today with the following
letter to the editor:
Dear Sir: ! do not know if this
will be any use to you, but l know
just the condition of things at the
Cook Inlet salmon canneries, and all
Alaskan canneries would be about the
same.
81 was up there some years ago,
landing at Kisiloff May II, and leav-
ing there Septermer 3rd, and l know
just all about what the men will find
l really think if someone who spoke
their language could give them clear
statement of conditions it would keep
the foolish people from rushing up
there to die"
Conditions in Alaska.
Editor Star:-About the best way
to discourage the emigration of the
immigrating laborers from the islands
to the Alaskan fisheries is to show
them plainly and convincingly just
what they are going up against in
going to Alaska.
They will land in San Francisco
about the middle of April, then tran
ship to Alaska, after taking up about
half of their summers wage in cloth
ing, which the Company will furnish
at about double prices. They will
land at the canneries some time in
May, finding the ground covered with
from six to ten feet of snow and ice

Attorney Watson: "This comes as
a matter of complete surprise to me,
The mere fact that l am representing
Mr.. Craig does not seem to me to-
interfere with my right to profession

been served with this voluminous doc

the reason for his taking a stenog-

l would ask that this matter stand

FOR
NUUANU PARK

The Senate this day passed the
House concurrent resolution setting
aside the Queen Emma premises in
Nuuanu valley as a public park.
Senator Baker believed that the con-
templated recreation erounds should
bear the name Queen Emma Park"
instead of "Nuuanu Park" Nuuanu be-
ing a common name.
Senator Cecil Brown agreed that
there should be a name more distinc-
tive than Nuuanu. 1t should be Queen
Emma, or given her native name. Nuu-
anu was indeed too common and too
indistinctive
Senator Judd moved to adopt the
resolution and provide for the park
first and leave the matter of a name
until later, remarking that a rose by
any other name would still manifest
according to its nature in the per
fumery line. This sentiment was ko
kuaed unanimously and the resolution
went through.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 25.-The
Municipal Conference of 1911 has
been formed, bylaws have been
drawn up, and this new "non-partis-
an" organization is ready to take
hand in the selection of suitable
man for San Franciscos next mayor.
w. ]. Dutton has been elected presl-
dent and Curtis H. Lindley has been
elected vice-president Included in
the general statement of the organ
ization's purpose is the followlns'
'The aim of the conference is to di-
rect it's efforts towards securing for
the city for the next four years sound
municipal government"
This is probably the first gun to be
of the hottest political campaigns wit
messed in this city of hot campaigns
Since the late election the charter has
been changed and the next mayor will
serve for four years. And those who
have in mind the city's welfare and
who keep in mind their own political
progress, have an eye on this next
term above all others-for the man
who sits in the mayors chair next
year will be the city's executive dur
ing the Worlds Fair.
There is another political organiza-
ton which had been in harness fol-
some time before the Municipal Con
ference came into existence and TINS

UNANIMOUS
ON TAX BILL

Senate bill 36, relating to personal,
income and property taxes and their
disposition, passed third reading in
the Senate this morning, unanimously,
and Senator Fairchild advised its re-
printed version going hastily to the
House that the latter might have it
for consideration at the same time
that the school bill is under advise
ment there.
The tax bill was introduced Febru-
airy 2S by Fairchild and has passed
through the judiciary and ways and
means committees and the committee

will be driven from morning till night
from one job to another until the time
comes for canning, which time depends
upon the date when the fish begin to
run. Some of them will be drafted in
to the boats as helpers to the fisher
men, and that means working at each
tide, no matter if by day or night.
They will live hard, sleep cold, and
work harder than ever they did in
their lives, and when they get back
to San Francisco in October they will
find that it is about like the old
whaler's payday, "Ought's an ought;
two is a two; dollar, less fifty, coming
to you," and sometimes it is even more
than fifty less than they will get.
How Filipinos who have lived their
lives in hot weather would stand
Alaska even at the best is a question,
but worked as they will be in a eli
mate which when they arrive will be
but little above zero, but by the mid
die of July will be nearly a hundred,
there is no question at all about it,
They won't stand it at all The fish
companies have to contract to return
all their Chinese help either dead or
alive, but they will not put such
clause into the contract with the Fill
pinos, so their return passage bills are
likely to be light If only the men
live to put up the fish it will not mat
ter to them how soon they die after
the cans are sealed, and they can
bury them very cheaply up there

The emigration agent cases came
up in the district court this morning
before Judge Lymer. Frank B. Craig
and Filipino known as Baltazar were
before the court. Owing to questions
raised by Attorney w. A. Kinney, APP
pearing specially for the prosecution
to Watson acting as counsel for Bal
tazar, lie hearing was deferred until
this afternoon.
3altazar, under the name of Porong
and Alvarado are charged with viola
tions of act 81 on 1905. and on their
teing called this morning, Attorney
Watson announced that he appeared
for them both and would waive the
reading of the charge.
To this Kinney demurred, stating
that as he had an objection to make,
he preferred that the charge be re I'd.
This was done, whereupon Kinney
said: 1--WE challenge the right and
authority of Mr.. Watson to appear for
Baltazar, he being the attorney for
Frank B. Craig, and ask that Mr.. Wat.
son be required to show his right and
authority so to do. We claim TINT
Mr.. Watson is attempting to represent
a hostile interest and that he can moi

OREGON'S RESOURCES
SUPERIOR TO CALF.

E. c. Smith and Chas. Hall returned
last week from California, where with
their wives they have been making a
tour OF the country by automobile.
Mr.. Halls machine was shipped south
and the party made the trip down the
coast to San Diego, passing through
the cities of San Jose. Monterey, San
Luis Obispo, and Los Angeles. They
were delighted with the roads and we'll
pleased with the wonderful trip.
Mr.. Hall in discussing Southern Cal
ifornia said that he was well pleased
with it as a winter resort, but that no.
where did he see displayed the progress
sive spirit that is manifested by Hood
Rivers citizens for Hood Rivers eli
mate is conducive to feeling of prog
ress. The chief resource of this south
ern country lies in its crop of tourists,
and Mr. Hall says that from all evil
dences they are going to have bum
per crop this winter, but as far as real
latent resources are concerned Oregon
is far ahead of Southern California. 4
Mr.. Hall was more impressed with
the spirit of energy and progress dis
played in San Diego than with that of
any of the other southern cities, eX-
cepting, of course, San Francisco.
They are making great strides in
building; their expenditures for the
past year having amounted to the sum
of four millions. 1t will be remember
ed that San Diego was the first coast
city to take up the Panama Fair prop
osition. When San Francisco put in
her plea for the international exposi-
tion San Diego conceded to her de-
mands, realizing that with her re-
sources the City of the Golden Gate
was the logical site.
However the people of San Diego are
going to hold fair of their own in
1915. Mr.. Hall says that they have
raised the sum of two million dollars
and are making preparations for a
great fair.
On the way south the party inspected
the buildings and grounds of Stanford
University. They were delighted with
the beauty of the architecture of the
buildings and the natural scenery of the
Santa Clara Valley.
Mr.. Hall will return to San Diego
the first of February in order to ac-
company Mrs. Hall home.

New Timber introduced.

Eight thousand five hundred pounds
of Arkansas black walnuts and 8l24
pounds of red oak acorns have been
shipped by the Federal Government
from Harrisburg, Ark, to District
Forester, Chapman, of Portland, to be
distributed through the burnt districts
of the Pacific Northwest.
The black walnuts of Arkansas are
among the most valued trees of that
region and furnish lumber of the high
est value in the market. Their intro
duction into the forests of the Pacific
Northwest will be of great value to
the generations to come, if they sue
ceed. While it is regarded as an ex-
pertinent, the district forester believes
that they will succeed and that in 25
years the walnut will be regarded as
one of the most important products of
Oregon's lumber mills and furniture
factories.
Oregon will receive a good share of
the seed and the distribution will take
place within the next few months.
The seeds will be sent to the fores.
rangers, who will take charge of
planting them in the burnt-over areast

MILLIONS OF LIVES
An Awful Toll Collected by Consumption
MANY Unnecessary Deaths.

If people could only understand that
systemic catarrh is an internal disease
that external applications cannot cure,
they would not need to be warned so
often about this malady, which, when
neglected, paves the way oftentimes for
consumption, at the cost of millions of
lives every year. Yet catarrh may be
cured, if the right treatment is employ.
ed.
The only way to successfully treat
Catarrh is by employing a medicine
which is absorbed and carried by the
blood to all parts of the system, so that
the mucus membrane or internal lining
of the body is toned up and made
capable of resisting the infection of con.
sumption and other diseases.
We have remedy prepared from the
prescription of physician who for
thirty years studied and made catarrh a
specially and whose record was a
patient restored to health in every case
where his treatment was followed as
prescribed. That remedy is Rexall
Mucu-Tone. We are go positive that
it will completely overcome cattarrh in
all its various forms, whether acute or
chronic, that we promise to return every
penny paid US for medicine in every
case where it fails or for any reason does
not satisfy the user.
We want you to try Rexall Mucu-Tone
on our recommendation and guarantee
We are right here where you live, and
you do not contract any obligation or
risk when you try Rexall Mucu-Tone on
our guarantee. We have Rexall Mucu-
Tone in two sizes, so cents and 800
Very often the taking OF one so cent
bottle is sufficient to make marked
impression upon the case. OF course
in chronic cases longer treatment is
necessary. The average in such instan-
ces is three $l.00 bottles. Remember
you can obtain Rexall Remedies in
Hood River only at our store. The
