Aunt Della" the aged and universally

realization of the fact that she has a
keen rival in the person Of Aunt Felte,
relative Of the Democratic nominee for

both have their eyes fixed longlnSly on

Tia Sau was beautiful accord

little brown maiden lived in Kobe
there were plenty to admire her
and whisper words of praise as
she tripped along the street, her
shining coils of hair unprotected
from the sun and wind, save by a
brilliantly colored silk umbrella.
Tia Sau did not belong to the
aristocracy of Japan, for if she
had this little girl would not have
wandered about alone as she did,
but she was as sweet and true a
woman as though she had num-

and her fellow Japanese were not
the only ones who admired her.

! .An eminently successful year has

Secretary Wilson In his report print

of Agriculture which has just come tC

At the Hawaii Station the investi.

have been continued and a number of
new lines of work have been begun.
The work with cotton continues to at.

would seem that the profitableness of
this new agricultural industry has
been successfully grown, and samples
submitted to rice consumers have
been pronounced equal in quality to
the imported Japanese rice. The i'm.
portance of this fact Is apparent
when 1t is known that one-half to
per cent per pound more is paid for
Japanese than for other rice. Ferti.
lizer experiments with rice and taro
have given results which show how
important improvements may b e
made in the methods of fertilizing
work with pineapples, it has been
shown that the chief difficulties OF
this crop are due to a lack of drain

ties to too much manganese in the
soils. 1t has also been found that
pineapples can be profitably grown in
Hawaii with less rainfall than has
Hitherto been thought necessary. Elk
periments with broom corn at the
station were so successful that this
crop has been planted to some extent
and broom factory has been estab-

BOARD PLANS BIG /. Is. :.
HARBOR IMPROVEMENTS

Definite plans for the improvement
OF Honolulu harbor for the vastly aug
mented shipping business that will fol-
low the opening of the Panama canal
have been formulated by the board of
harbor commissioners, and the initial
steps toward the fulfilling of these
taken at the boards weekly meeting
yesterday.
The plans include harbor front
railway belt line connecting all the
larger docks with the Oahu railway
and with each other, the enlargement
of docking space by dredging and the
construction of new piers and the ad-
dition of the oil supply pipe line.
These improvements are found nee
essary to enable, a large vessel to
dock at one wharf and remain station
airy there until the incoming cargo is
removed, the outgoing cargo taken
aboard and the fuel and other sup
plies have been received.
At present many Of the larger ships
are compelled to shift from one dock
to another as often as two or three
times before she is again ready for
the sea. Cargo for the city must be
dumped at one pier, ard merchandise
dc stined for the country must be I'M
loaded at the railroad wharf. Com
plants are received constantly from
the engineers OF tho big vessels On this
account, because they are not given
time to cool off their boilers and make
necessary overhauling or repairs with
cut delaying the vessel.
The board decided yesterday to adj
vertiSe for bids for contract to COM

posed bulkhead from the Oceanic dock

the opportunity was welcomed, since

ures. The expedition, composed of
five persons, was organized, though
not accompanied, by Prof. C. c. Nut

Dayton Daily News: The DISPOSE
ton of the dead is coming to be a
serious problem in many communi-
ties. Especially is this the case in
the larger cities, where the land is
so valuable that cemeteries are driven
far out into the country. And even
then there is a growing tendency to
do away with underground burial for
the reason that 1T is not q sanitary
way of disposing of large numberss of
corpses
Cremation is gaining ground, in
that more and more of our dead are
annually being cremated. but ii will be
to be repulsiye to many persons. So
we are hearing a great deal more
about the burial of the dead than for
merly.
The latest proposition in this coun-
try-although 1T is really an old meth
.od-is for the building of a great mau-
soleums to accommodate hundreds or
even thousands of bodies. "a gentle
man In ONE OF the large cities, In fact,
has submitted plans for such q struc-
ture to accommodate 1000 or 5000
corpses.
He proposes that 1t be created by
the city, and space in ii to be- sold to
Individuals. 1T viii be constructed of
concrete, sanitary in all of its appoint
ments, beautiful In design and an or
hnament to the community. 1t will be
so arranged that persons may visit the
tomb of their dead, and SO guarded
that the hallowed place may not be
desecrated. In fact, the gentleman
presents plans that are certainly
worthy Of consideration BY any com
munity.

The offer from Minot Is not in any
way equal to that of jamestown,
and the location of an institution in
that part of the state is not at pres
.ent believed to be as advantageous
for patients as it would be in a more
central portion of the state. In the flu
ture when the population of the
state increases. Minot is the logical
point for a hospital for the northern
part of the state.
The committee and the bishop, 1T
is stated, while not desiring to reach
any decision until the claims of oth-
er interests and other cities have
been given full attention, could not
help but feel that the offer Of James
town was by far the best that was
before them. The business men on
the committee know that 1T is a.
heavy undertaking to raise the nee
essary funds to carry out the socie-
tvs obligations, when once assumed,
and they, therefore,. are moving very
carefully in the matter, but with 1 !
eye to the future welfare and assur-
ed support of the institution. They
realize that hundreds of patients are
now drawn to other hospitals of this
and other states, who would natur-
ally and surely become patrons of a
modern and well conducted hospital
in Jamestown; and that such an in-
stitution would in future years. alta
tract thousands of residents of the
state who would feel confident OF
getting the best treatment to be OBJ

take final action until its next meet
imp in January.
The bishop and committee feel the
responsibility that is attached to
their action in this matter. and real
ize that the people of the society
throughout the state depend on the
judgment of the committee to ecure
q permanently self-supporting insti-
tuition for this great charitable I'm
dertaking. Such an institution must
be, in the first place, open on equal
terms to all persons who require
hospital treatment, whether rich or
poor, and that all physicians have
equal rights and privileges under
the institutions management. The
most important feature. therefore.
in connection with the committees
decision is the location for such an
institution, and on this decision will
larpely rest the success financially
and otherwise OF such a hospital.
The committee desires to dispel any
idea that have have arisen that such.
an institution, If conducted under
the auspices OF that society, would
be for the sole benefit of the mem
bers og their church organization.
This is furthermost from their in-
tentions. as the hospital when es-
tablished and in operation will be
open to all persons on the same
terms, and to all physicians and
surgeons alike. under proper regu-
Iations and restrictions imposed by
the hosital management.
There are several propositions be-
for the committee, coming from
jamestown, Fargo, Valley City and
Minot. In all of the above cities ex-
cept Jamestown there are already
ample hospital accommodations. The
location OF a state hospital In this
city offers attractions and induce
ments that none other can provide.
1T would at ones assure the institu-
ton or a sufficient patronage to make
the hosital s~eif-suporting and q
success ia a financial way. In no
other city are there as many INDUCE
ments for locating such an institu-
ton as at jamestown. Its accessi-
biiity from all arts of the state Is
we'll known. The business for such
an institution ig already here, inc
all that Is needed is to adequately
tai facilities. The offer of James
town lib an unusually fIattering one
being equivalent to $4,000 and 81
valuable site In the best portion OF
the city for such an institution.
The Valley City offer consists of
d private hospital already In opera
tion for some ten years and d0fa-
ton OF $1,000 In cash,
The Fargo proposition is Of prac-
tically the same nature, viz. to take
over an old and small hospital build
ing, and to develop THE same in COM

tablished and popular hospitals in
