TIPPING AND TREATING,

There are two practices in this
country that are being justly con-
demned. One is tipping, and the 9TH
er treating, to be sure, we are not re-
sponsible for either. Away back in
the days of Queen Elizabeth every
coffee house had box bearing the in
scription, ITO Insure Promptness;
T. |. p Neither is treating an inno-
walton. Some of the Caesers, so says
history, used to get huffy when their
guests could not see the bottom OF
the glass often enough. But both have
got such a hold on Americans that
they have come to be recognized as
national habits, and the latter soma
times as a national evil.-Indianapol

CALIFORNIA; CANAL EXPECTATIONS

BY H S Bates, OF Bates & Cheese
brough, General Agents for caIifor-
nia-AtIantie Steamship Company.
Now that the Panama is all but an
accomplished fact and will be open to
commerce within three years, it is not
mere speculation to consider what this
canal means to the trade of California
and her sisters States on the Pacific.
In anticipating the tonnage which
will move through the canal, 1 think
it may be properly divided into four
classes.
First, that class of cargo commonly
spoken of as water freight and which
has since the early days of the clip
per ship always been moved by water.
This cargo includes wines, asphalt,
salmon, canned fruit, dried fruit, lead
and seasonable products of the Pacific
which produced at one time of the
year, are intended for consumption
throughout the following months of
the year.
This tonnage has been on the steady
increase for years, and following the
natural development of Western civil
i2atiOn, principally through the cut
ting up of our large ranches into small
farms, it seems an assured fact that

THE DoNKEYs CHOICE.

The veXed question of the future
life of animals has troubled the Mo-
hammedan, as it has other religions,
The question, it seems, was consid-
cred by Allah long time ago, and
all the animals were asked if they
wished to enter paradise. They at
once said yes, except the donkeys.
These were cautious, and asked if lit
tie boys went to heaven. The ans
wer being yes, they replied, 'In that
case We prefer to go to-the other
place" S. H. Leeder vouches for the
fable in THE Desert Gateway.

place than it is now. He has a
scheme by which he would make it
beauty spot that would appeal to
all. His idea is to have a wide
boulevarde, where vehicles of every
description could be shown TO the
fullest advantage, and be driven I'M
der the best conditions, while the
pedestrians would have special walks
under the outrageous shade of the
splendid trees. The grounds would
lie ornamented in many ways, and a
trench would be cut that would allow
the water from the ocean to cir
culate freely in this course. over
this stream would be stretched rustic
bridges Of an ornamental character
Numerous comfortable seats would be
provided, and attractive kiosks would
be erected where bodily comforts could
be obtained. The keynotes would
: be comfort and ornamentation. lie
would add a car track that would
connect the Kaimuh and Waikiki
services, so that a loop would be
formed. and the residents of Kaimuki
would be able to reach this pleasure
ground by a short route. He has
some other plans for the beautifica-
ton of this land.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-02-03

this class of cargo will steadily in
crease as our State and its fertile
valleys are developed through col
onization.
A conservative estimate of this class
of business which is now moving eth
err by Cape Horn, the Isthmus OF Pana-
ma or the Isthmus of Tehuantepec
would be 100000 tons annually.
Second-Lumber cannc- now be
shipped in any quantity via existing
routes to the Atlantic seaboard for
the two principal reasons that the
Cape Horn route entails too great a
risk necessarily too high a rate OF
insurance, coupled with the uncertain
ty of the voyage and time in transit
not less than 100 days. Lumber can
not be shipped via the so-called 18TH
milan routes for the reason that it will
not stand the necessary transship-
ment and consequential damage caus-
ed through the handling at the 18TH
mus. However, when the canal Is
completed, it is estimated that lumber
from the Northwest will move through
the canal not only to North Atlanti.

of Honolulu Chinese made the kono-
hi season this year the accession of

Northern American cities.
The reason for this is that with our
vast forests on the Pacific ana cheap
er cost of production per Thousand we
can compete at a lower rate of freight
on a much larger scale than we are
now actually competing under
freight rate of SIS per ton.
1t is my opinion that lumber will
carry a rate through the canal of about
$3.50 per ton, which rate it can be
readily seen will leave a margin Of
profit sufficient to develop a tremen-
dous tonnage.
Third-In addition to the lumber
tonnage which is ready to move the
! minute the canal Is completed, we
have on the Pacific a number of COM
modities which / believe will move
in very large quantities to the Atlant-

refer particularly to Manganese ore
which Pennsylvania steel factors have
advised me can be moved at a s.
rate from the Pacific in competition
with that now imported from the Or
lent via Suez. It is impossible to es-
innate the amount of this ore which
will be moved to Philadelphia con-
sidering the vast deposits of magan-
csc in California ana the consumption
in Pennsylvania. would say that this
movement will be only dependent up
on the rate of freight and available
tonnage.
In addition to Manganese ore there
will be very large tonnage of infus-
orial earth to the same market in
Pennsylvania which will emanate from
Southern California.
There is also a strong possibility
that granite, graphite and other low
grade bulky commodities now being
handled from the Pacific coast in 2
desultory sort of way will be trans.
ported in large quantities to the East
ern market, which now stands ready
TO receive these products at a price
equivalent to the Pacific coast cost
plus a rate Of freight of about SIS pei

that the present movement will b.

AFFAIRS At The
STATE CAPITAL
OSBORN COMES OUT STRONG FOR
RECIPROCITY. TONNAGE TAX
BILL MAY PASS IN
HOUSE.

Lansing, Mich. Feb. 20.-Gov. Os-
born is for reciprocity. The governor
hasn't been saying much on the sub
ject but his sentiments We're brought
out yesterday when he was approached
on the question by former member
of the legislature.
I'm absolutely for reciprocity" said
the governor, "and l consider the pres
ent agreement one of the most states
menlike documents ever prepared in
this country. / own a lot of Michigan
land, but / believe that this question
is too big to concern Michigan alone.
1T is true that the agreement will
bring the farm lands Of Michigan
and other agricultural states into COM
petition with the free homestead lands
OF Canada. but when climatic condi-
tions and transportation are consider
ed this is not such an important mat
ter.
"The great thing to my mind is that
we want friendly country on the
north when the day comes that we will
clash physically with the yellow hordes
of the east. People don't stop to con-
slider that If Canada should be un-
friendly that a string of Notifications
and an immense standing army to peo-
pie them along the border would be
necessary.
1.-The frictional line has been close
ly approached several times and no
man knows when it will be close again.
The acceptance of this agreement by
the two countries will bring us closer
together and bring about relations
which will be of the utmost import
ance in the years TO come
"The mere fact that England opposes
the treaty should weigh heavily in its
favor. 1t shows that the mother coun-
ty appreciates the fact that imperial
ism is to go in the face of continental
ism.
$50 far as the competition between
Canadian farm products and ours is
concerned it is so small a matter
when the whole agreement Is consid-
cred that | am sorry that IL has been
made such an issue.
"The pending reciprocal agreement
in undoubtedly one of the most i'm
portant pieces of world politics that
has been up for consideration i'm years.
II is nearly 20 years since Canada APP
preached us before and we snubbed
her, and If that should occur again 1t
would be so years before we could re-
cover the ground lost"

War Claims Bill Passes.

Washington, ID. c., Feb. 2O.-The war
claims bill passed the house at 12:46,
after having been under consideration
since last Friday because of a filibus-
ter waged against it.
A majority OF Democrats in the
House voted with the Republicans to-
day, 173 to 43, for the adoption of a
rule providing that all House rules can
be suspended on a two-thirds vote dur
ing the remainder of the session so
that important measures can be rushed
through without amendment after for
ty minutes debate.
The adoption of the rule had the ef-
feet of ending the three days filibuster
against the Omnibus war claims bill,
which provides for the payment of ST.
10000 war claims, but does not in
clude any French spoliation or navy
yard overtime claims. This bill was
passed by a two-thirds vote. The rule
adopted today practically puts the en-
tire conduct of affairs for the next two
weeks i'm the hands of the speaker.

out my personal ends" said Governor
Osborn.
1T will be difficult for anyone to
name a committee of experts capable
of handling the matter which would
have the entire confidence of the
people, l am more than willing that
the legislature should take over the
Job. The promise of n tax investiga-
tion commission is the promise of the
Republican party. not my promise. III

sonal affront to me. IL is mistaken.
