Crown of CASTLE Due.
The Crown of CASTLE is due here
at any hour now from Europe. She
has on board full cargo, the chief
item Of which is fertilizer. She will
take away a load of pineapples-both
green and canned-to Vancouver
from here. In all probability she will
call at one of the ports on the Unit
ed States coast before proceeding to
Vancouver as she may have some car
go for there from Europe. Fred l..
Waldron is the agent here.

WILL STOP HYPNoTIsT.

Sheriff Jarrett stated at noon today
that he would positively not allow the
burying seance of Barnett, the hypnot-
list, to take place this evening as adj
vertised, and that if such were per-
sisted in he would take steps to stop
it. The sheriff considers such exhibit
tons inadvisable, and feels that
should a fatality occur his department
would be held responsible.

your port and San Francisco that the
occasion rarely occurs when all the
accommodations in the steamers are
taken. They contend that in nearly
every sailing they have more space
than passengers. They give figures
to substantiate their statements. If
their statements be true, and ! have
no cause to doubt them, then there
certainly should be no complaint on
the part of your people at a lack Of
accommodation. OF course, the ac-
commodations may not be as sumpt-
uous as those on a large vessel, but,
as | said before it is worth something
to be a citizen of the United States,
and if by patronizing the American
flag one has to take something less
than one would have to take by sail
ing under the flag of another country,
one should accommodate oneself to
conditions, and hope for the time
when the American flag will again
be found on every sea. BY doing that
you will help to maintain the Ameri-
can flag on the sea.
Help Maintain the Flag.
"By insisting on the abrogation of
the coastwise laws you will help to
drive the few American ships now on
the sea off the run between the main
land and your islands, You will be
eventually worse off than you are to-
day, and you will discourage capital
from investing in more ships.
Some Hopeful News.
THE dispatches of the last few
days indicate that there is to be a re-
vival in American shipping. Mr.. Bates
of Baltimore and his associates have
just incorporated a company to take
care of the coastwise trade between
the eastern seaboard and the Pacific
ports via the Panama Canal. The
Morgan interests have, it is said, pur-
chased the Pacific Mali S. S. Company,
with the view of making that company
a paying institution. Mr.. Morgan and
his associates are men of great wealth.
They will undoubtedly put additional
ships on the run across the Pacific,
and these will be of the most modern
and improved types.
/ The Canal Will Assist Us.
with the opening of the canal still
other lines of ships will be organized,
and l feel confident that Congress
itself will enact legislation which will
enable American ships again to flour
ish on the ocean.
Abrogation Slogan Should Cease.
Il hope, therefore, that the agitation
for tine abrogation of the coastwist
laws will cease; that instead of put
ting obstacles in the way of the de
velopment of an American merchant
marine you will speed the day wher
additional ships can be built so as tC
compete with foreign ships, by giving
the American ship the benefit of YOU
patronize whenever and wherever
you can"

there is some merit in their com

HUNT? HELP SAVE FORESTS
State Forester Appeals to All Sports
men to Aid in Preventing
Flames.
ISSUES CAMP FIRE WARNING

An appeal to sportsmen to aid in
the work of preventing forest fires
has been issued by State Forester w.
T. Cox and copies of the appeal will
be printed and attached to each game
or fish license issued by the state
game or fish commission. The appeal
reads as follows:
"All sportsmen are interested in
the protection of our forests. This
could not be otherwise, since the for
est constitute the natural home of all
disappearance of the woods the game
will disappear also. Many of our
games fishes can live only in our
wooded lakes and streams; the pro-
lection afforded by the forest and tie
character of run-off resulting from a
forest cover appears essential to tn eli:
existance and propagation.
''The spOrtsmen, before all others,
appreciates the forest for its own
sake. The lure of the woods is one
of the greatest incentives to the
camper, hunter or fisherman. Who
would care to go on a lengthy canoe
trip or camp in the northern wilder
ness were it not for the call of the
woods?
s'The forests of this state have
been steadily reduced in area and i'm
poverished in character by fires, and
this is an appeal to pou to do all in
your power to prevent forest fires by
exercising care in camp and by put
ting out small fires when you find
them.
under the new forest law any per-
son leaving a fire unextinguished is
liable for the damage it does and is
subject to prosecution as we'll.
The state has more than one hum
dred rangers and patrolmen on duty,
but every sportsman should be vol
unteer ranger and game warden and
help protect the forests and the
game"
