FIFTY THOUSAND COOLIES ARE
WORKING ON A CHINESE RAILWAY

of Yokohama, Japan, in a report on
railway building in Japan, says:
I'm connection with the plan to
unity the government railways and to
establish the so-called network of
transportation lines 1O1 applications
have been made to build narrow-gauge
railroads in Japan. The number of
licenses issued under the above appli-
cations has now reached forty-seven,
and additional applications are contin-
ually being received.
"The estimated cost for the con-
struction of the narrow gauge rail-
ways for which licenses have been
granted is $21,OOO,OOO, according to the
press of Tokyo. In addition, a con-
siderable number of locomotives and
cars are required for the government
railways already constructed, and or
ders for the same are being placed
though the representative in Japan
of foreign manufacturers and sales
agents. In case the railways in Japan
are broadened to the standard gauge,
there will be extensive demands for
railway equipment of various kinds.
I'm a general sense, orders for rail
way equipment are actively sought by
representatives or agents of foreign
manufacturers now located in Japan
Manufacturers not having such con
nections in Japan may either desire
to investigate the possibilities of this
field through a special representative
or by communicating with the Railway
Bureau, Department of Communica
tions, Tokyo"

WASHINGTON. d. c., May 23.-The
Insular Bureau in charge of affairs in
the Philippines, through the medium
of the United States Civil Service
Commission, is conducting what might
be termed a matrimonial bureau
The Civil Service Commission has
recently announced an examination
which is to be held on August 80 and
81, 1911, at various places in the
United States, to fill vacancies as they
may occur in the positions Of teachers,
industrial teacher, and clerk in the
Philippine service. The positions to
be filled pay salaries Of from $1,000
TO $4,000 per annum.
The matrimonial feature of the sub
ject comes in by restricting the teach
er examination to men, unless the
women desiring to take it are the
wives, immediate relatives, or flncees
of men examined for teacher or as
sistant or appointed to or already en-
ployed in the Philippine service as
teacher Therefore, if a woman wish
Is to obtain a place in the Philippine
service, if she is not already married
or engaged to a teacher, or one who
has been examined for that position,
it is up to her to get busy and qualify
At the present time the Insular
Bureau employs and pays the salaries
OF 753 American teachers, and in adj
dition there are employed in the Fill
Dino schools 1915 Filipino teachers.
The schools consist of one university.
1873 intermediate schools, and 1926
Urinary schools. There are 3OS3 high
school students, 21,3O4 intermediate
school students, and 5G2, 1880 primary
school students. In addition to these
schools there are, one normal school,
one trade school, one commercial
school, one school for deaf and blind,
thirty-tive manual training schools
and thtrty-eight high schools.

FRANKLIN MATTHEWS AND DR..
WAOMAN GIVE LECTURES ON HAWAII

The following is Promotion Secre-
tary Woods report for the current
week:
Chairman and Members Of the Hawaii
Promotion Committee:
Dear Sirs--By the steamer Korea"
we are sending a full line Of informa-
tion concerning Hawaii to the editors
of all of the daily papers published in
Rochester, n. Y, imparting the in
formation as well that Hawaii will be
well represented at the Shriners' Con-
clave We have also sent a number
of folders to the leading hotels of the
city, besides ordering a large supply
to go forward to Mr.. James S. Nc
Candless from San Francisco.
Rev. DR.. Wadman, who leaves on
an extended trip by the next "Wilhel-
nina" taking with him 125 of our best
lantern slides, states that he is al
ready in receipt of word from the
mainland to the effect that arrange
ments for his lecture on Hawaii have
been made at Portland, Everett, Seat
tie, Vancouver and Victoria.
AS the time for the opening of the
Panama Canal gets nearer, interest in
the Pacific increases correspondingly.
The latest information as to new lines
of steamships is contained in the fol-
lowing letter from the manager of the
New Orleans Progressive Union:
q was very glad to know that the
New Orleans Directory reached you
safely and assure you it was a great
pleasure to comply with your request.
l remember our acquaintance here
very pleasantly, and hope that the
time will come when l may return
your visit.
q have received a copy of your
Crossroads Map and have studied it
with a great deal of interest When
the Panama Canal is opened, you will
have to make a new map showing
new OIleanSt the steamship lines run
ming from this city through the canal
to Hawaii and the Asiatic countries.
This is the Mississippi Valley, South
America & Orient Steamship Line,
promoted by the Progressive Union,
and chartered under the laws of the
state Of Louisiana. A special law was
enacted and ratified by the constitu-
tional vote of all the people of the
state, eXempting all American steam
ship lines operating out of Louisiana
from taxation for a period of fifteen
years. This is the first practical step
taken by any state in the Union for
the rehabilitation of the American
merchant marine"

BY the last mail we received with
the compliments of the London Cham
Der of Commerce a copy of
Sells Telegraphic Addresses,
a volume of 1900 pages, containing an
alphabetical list of the leading Lon
don and provincial business houses.
Among other letters to hand by last
mail was the following from frank
Clark, the well known tourist agent:
Il beg to own receipt of your very
cordial letter of the 18th inst, and to
advise you that the printed matter sent
under separate cover has also reached
us. l am putting the folders and
guides on our shelves and will gladly
give these such distribution as we are
able, and l hope it will result in your
efforts being rewarded.
There are no new developments re-
garding our Around the World
Cruises, but we hope it is the calm be-
fore the storm and that when l write
you again it will be with realization
that we shall visit your delightful
islands en- masse during the early part
of 1913"
Our friend, MIR. Franklin Matthews,
the well known correspondent, writes
under date of May Goth, in part as fol-
lows:
81 am now putting in practically all
my time lecturing around the country,
boosting Hawaii my hardest and best.

Hawaii, is getting to be better known
every day. Every visitor to the islands
| have met l find to be a self-consti-
tuted boomer of the place, and l can
assure you that it has been a real Joy
to me to expound with all the fervor
possess my ideas of the beauties and
Joys of the Islands. l find my audi
5nces hang on every word l have to
say about Hawaii. l am using, with
good effect, the last lot of slides you
sent me. leave today for Cincinnati,
where ! lecture all summer in the Co
Iumbia Theater. To give you some
Idea of the character of my work
there, I may tell you that ex-senator
Foraker is to present me to his fellow
-ownsmen I will soon have the peo-
pie of Cincinnati enthused over Ha-
wall"

am arranging for a special distribu-
ton of our folders throughout Cincin-
natl and will see that the libraries of
the different papers are well supplied
with photographs and up-to-date data.

kau Good Times.
HILO, June 15.-Everything looks
bright for the present season in Kau,
according to Julian Monsarratt, who
came in last Saturday morning to
take in the aeroplane exhibition. He
states that there have been good
rains throughout the spring months
and that the feed for the cattle is in
better shape than it has been for sew
last days there have been frequenS
rains and from the present indica-
lions there should be plenty of water
in the ground to provide for goou
feed throughout the dry months of
the summer
A Holiday Missed.
HILO, June 15.-As a result of the
failure of Superintendent of Public
Instruction Pope to notify the super
vising principal of this district that
Monday had been declared holiday,
the schools of Hilo and the surround
ing towns went on as usual, though
great deal of criticism was heard on
all sides. In some cases the teach
ers, who had read in the Honolulu
papers that arrived Sunday that the
following day had been declared a
legal holiday by Governor Frear,
failed to show up and the same is
true of many of the pupils. There
was plenty of time to have sent mott
fications to this island as the papers
which arrived on Sunday stated that
Superintendent Pope> had notified the
Honolulu schools that there would be
no session on Monday. Still the
Island of Hawaii was left without any
official notification.

Especial Correspondence of the Starr
WASHINGTON, D. c., May ga
report from United States Consul AL
bert w. Pontius, at Chungking, China,
says $4,000 coolies are at work build
ing the main line of the Szechwan-
Hupeh Railway.
"Eighty-iye pound rails are en-
ployed for the main line, using thir-
teen sleepers to the rail. Construction
trains are running twice daily between
Ichang wharf and the track end, a
distance of about six miles. More
than forty ballast cars are now in use
carrying materials. With the eXcep-
ton of two cuts, the track could be
laid some twenty miles. The Ichang
station building is finished up to the
roofing, and will be completed in May.
The three stoTe-rooms are already oc-
cupied, the locomotive sheds built, and
the head office building fairly started.
Near the station are two 22-foot walls,
while the water tower will soon be
completed. The coal yard is under
construction. Four shafts have been
sunk at the 62OO-foot tunnel, fifty
miles from Ichang. The presence of
water renders the work difficult. Two
10OO-foot tunnels are under way TWEEN,
/ ty-fye miles from Ichang, and one zoo
/ feet long, about fifteen miles from
that city, is completed.
THE equipment for the machine
shop, ordered from a German firm
has arrived and will shortly be in
stalled in the newly built workshop
In order to secure more satisfactory
transportation from Hankow to Ichang
another 500 horsepower tug and two
2O0-ton lighters have been ordered
from a Shanghai engineering company
From the American Bridge Compan!
OF New York eleven 1OO-foot spans
have been ordered, and delivery will
be made in May. Two million super
fetal feet Of Oregon pine logs ant
planks have also been contracted for
! Earthwork and tunnel tendersC nativ

implies. There has never been a case
reported Of cramp collie, cholera NOR

AWAY
OF MOTHER EARTH.

Investigations by the United States
geological survey of the erosion of
numerous drainage basins of the
United States show that the surface of
the country is being removed at the
average rate Of about an inch in 76O
years. Though this amount seems
trivial, when spread over the surface
Of the country, it becomes stupendous
when considered as a total, or even in
separate drainage basins. Missis-
sippi river for instance, carries an,
nualy to the sea 136,4OO,OOO tons of
dissolved matter and 34O,5OO,OOO tons
