Story Of the Fire.
Following is the letter to the
agents giving an account of the fire:
'Kailua, Hawaii, Oct. 4, 1912.
Messrs. H. Hackfeld & Co., Ltd, Ho-
nolulu.
Gentlemen: We beg to confirm
wireless message of the 3rd inst, as
follows: Fermenting house and en-
tire contents totally destroyed, fire
$3.50 p. m, Oct. 3D.; cigar factory
also; cause unknown; the only sal
wage about 5000 cigars; particulars
Mauna kea."
Building Was Deserted.
The fire broke out about 5:30
o'clock p. m.,@ or one hour after all
hands had quit work. There is no
way of ascertaining the origin.
Mr.. Daniels was at Napoopoo look
ing after the. incoming freight, and
Messrs. Schrader and Bottleson were
at the residence, where they were
notified of the fire by the Chinese
children of the storekeeper who live
some distance below 1.-THE residence
and could see fire, asst was on the
northwest side that same was first
seen. y f..4.. .,-t i
Messrs. Schraderf and Bottleson
rushed. down., but it was of no use,
assthe whole thing burst into flame
and there was so much smoke that
fhnv did MT doro inoidn
Fire Made Quick Work.
"They ran around the building to
the cigar factory and pulled out a
case of cigars and then could dc
nothing more owing to the heat. The
whole thing was level with the ground
in IS minutes. ...s .~
ut Is the custom there to sprinkle
the floor and sweep out the aisles
and place all the chairs and stolls
on the work benches every night
after the help have quit. This was
done as usual and the place closed.
The night Waterman goes on duty at
IS o'clock, but the fire occurred half
an hour previous to his going on duty.
Loss Of Tobacco.
The entire 1911 crop was con-
sumed, as well as all the stock of the
cigar company, which, as you know
was stored in the fermenting house,
also 1885 lbs. of the 1912 crop. There
were also 10, 155 lbs. of the Hawaiian
Tobacco Co. tobacco in the ferment
ing house, which is covered by insur-
ance in the name of the Hawaiian
Tobacco Co.
4Makeshift Quarters Proposed.
As a makeshift the boarding house
will have to be altered and same
used to do the fermenting of the crop
now being harvested; there are a
number of rooms upstairs which can
be used and the downstairs can be
used as sorting room temporarily.
as we presume that under the exist
ing circumstances the directors will
not want to erect new fermenting
house at present. Of course, the
boarding house is not properly equip
ped for this work, but it will have to
do under the circumstances, as the
cured tobacco has to have attention
to save it, and there would be no
time to build, as the cured tobacco
is being taken down from the curing
barns almost weekly.
Other Buildings lmperilIed.
They had a hard time to save the
residence, as the wind was blowing
from makai so that the heat was in

The Alfalfa Meal Question.

Now that the alfalfa crop is being pnt
in the stack and the question OF a salts
factory market being problemtical, the
question oi converting this product into
meal is being discussed again. Last
week Mr.. Knight, representing the Rob-
erts Alfalfa Meal Mill Co. was interview
ing some oi onr interested farmers along
the line of 4 portable mill, complete in
every detail with All attachment Tor
soaking the meal alter il Is ground.
A. one OF these mills in in successful
operation at Caldwell, Mcssrs. Schnee-
berger, Frazer, JaycoN and Smack. while
at Boise last week, took occasion to per
sonally investigate the workings of the
machine, making a trip To Caldwell for
that purpose. \ heavy rain the night
previous had made the hay quite wet,
interfering somewhat with the workings
oof the machine, but the test was sutli
Client 10 demonstrate the ability Of
the machine Ia do all that Was claimed
for il, and the confidence Of the manu-
i%acturer is eNinced 10y his prefer 10 put a
machine in on 30 days trial.
With a machine of this naturr on the
tract that could he moved from place tn
place like u separator, the feasibility OF
converting our hay into meal could he
clearly demonstrated, and il found prac-
teal the installation OF more machines
would naturally follow. AT the present
time this seems the most logical plan OF
disposing OF our surplus hay crop, and
it is quite likely that i machine will bt
installed on the tract and the system
tried ont.

SHOULD HAVE BETTER SERVICE.
Water has been Reached in the New
Well at Jerome Which Should
Warrant a Change.

The Rupert Pioneer Record but voices
the sentiment OF the people all along the
line when it urges a better service on
the North Side branch. In this connec
ton however, it states that rumOr has
ii that this will be brought about by the
installation of a motor ear on the line,
pending the Inauguration oil regular train
service over the line.
1t was only Il few weeks ago that the
Times announced that anew we'll drilling
crew had arrived ut jerome and started d
new we'll entirely independent Of the old
one. These gentlemen evidently thor
onghly understood their business, as they
hammered away without mishap, until
the joyful word reached us the first OF
the week that Il flow of water had been
struck at a depth of 22O feet. This flow
is being increased daily as the well is
sunk still deeper, and it is safe to say
that the efforts OF these gentlemen will
be crowned with success. As We have
been given to understand 10y the compa-
ny that the inauguration Of a regular
train service was dependent entirely up
on the securing of water facilities, now
that water has been obtained the penpl,
along the line will feel warranted in look
ing forward to an early realization ol
their desires.
At the time Of the visit of the Short
Line officials here our people were given
assurances that ample provisions would
be made for handling the large crop here
this fall, and as this can be successfully
done only by Il regular train service i,
another rcason why We may soon ex
pect this.
Passenger traffic over the line wonl,
be greatly enhanced 10y 4 regular service
which would afford proper connection
at Bliss and Minidoka, as it wonld avoi,
the tedious waits now necessary for east
ern passengers no matter which ronte il
taken.

OLD SETTLERS PICNIC.
VIII be held at Jerome on Friday.
August 3Oth.

AT the time Of holding the old settlers
pir-Iic last year an organization Was
perfected by the election OF Jno. Bruner.
President, w. =. Rice, Secretary, and
an executive committee consisting OF VI.
\. Holmes, J. ). Ilartshorn and .Jno. f.
Graham.
A portion Of this committee met las,
saturday and mapped out the prelimi-
nary arrangements for the picnic this
year. In order 10 give the children an
opportunity to attend and not Interfere
with their school duties, the date was
lNed i"r Friday, August Both.
The matter oi selecting a place for the
holding ol the picnic was quite thor
o'ighiy discussed, and while several points
were mentioned, it was the desire of fine
committee to have 4 point Us centrally
located as possible, and accordingly il
was thought best To hold the gathering
here IN Jerome. The Ostrander Lumber
Co. has very generously donated the use
oi the Nibley-Channel yards for the oc-
casion and this will make a most desira-
bic place ior the holding Of the picnic.
Free access will be given to all the
buildings, where dinner can be served
Tree from dust or the rays OF the sun.
AMI the Large enclosed yard will afford
ample room for outdoor sports OF all
kinds.
As Was the Ease last year, while the
ALTAR is under the auspices Of the older
settlers, a most cordial invitation is ex-
tended 10 all settlers To join with them
III making this an annual holiday where
all can meet and get acquainted with
II another, the only request being that
each bring their basket OF good things,
lis everything is Tree.
4 program OF a~inusemlcnts will he pro-
vide'i later, but III the meantime let all
remember the date and make arrange
ments Ia attend.

Mr.. A.. Anderson has a pear tree III
his ward rhat has blossomed twice this
year and now has fruit on it oi varying
sizes. Early in the spring the tree was
in full bloom, but a hard storm at that
time demolished the blossoms on the up
per part Of the tree. Some OF the pro-
tected mes however yielded fruit which
is now ncarly'ripe. Later in the season
the upper portion of the tree put forth a
-t Of new blossoms which have formed
into pears of a diminutive size which
promise to make fruit yet before the sea
son is over. The occurrence is very pc
culiar and almost like getting two crops
from the same tree IN II season.

hopeful, and it is to be regretted that
there is not more harmony among the

nominated, and the LaFollette and

breastworks, if ever politicians were,
for they have certainly left no passage
open through which they can crawl
back into the citadel The fight they
have made has not been for the spoils

their friends are now III Office. 1t was
for high ideals Will they turn their
backs on Taft? Yes if the Democratic
party will give them IA candidate who
stands for those ideals 1t is critical
and Democratic opportunity. Will
Democratic leaders take advantage Of
it? Let us hope they will.

Already 2,223 Trains Have Been
Discontinued by Officials.
NO COAL TO RUN THE ENGINES
People Now Realize That the Nations
Industries Are Rapidly Nearing
Condition Of Paralysis
London's Idle.

London, March 5.-Fngland is con-
fronted with a raj aad tie-up that
threatens to srre1d tn ouehout the en-
tire country unless sGre means can
be found to secure an immediate sup.
ply Of coal. Word from Dartmouth is
to the effect that the packets in the
channel service also will be discontin-
ued for the sane reason.
Already 1928 freight and passenger
trains have Eeen discontinued, OF
which number 704 were on the time
table of a single road Many stationl
are being closed because of the lack
of traffic.
The British people have really
awakened at last to the seriousness
of the situation and the fact that the
curtailment OF the nations indus les
because of the coal miners STRIFE is
rapidly approaching condition Of
paralysis.
Coal has advanced in London 2
shillngs a ton and at Blafast the price
has advanced as high as shillings. or
to 81 shillings a ton. A German tor
pedo boat there was forced to pay 40
shillings to get fuel enough to leave
port.
Besides the more than a million Of
miners who are out on strike it is es.
timated that 225, 800 men in other lines
of activity are idle, while 1,425, 900
others have bon served with notice
that their services will not be needed
within a short time.
Entire industries which ordinarily
employ hundreds Of thousands of men
have suspended operations, and those
who have been thus thrown out Of
men, longshoremen, iron and tin plate
workers, besides a variety Of other
trades.
In the Manchester district alone
10000 men have been notified that
they will be out Of employment, while
1t is probable that $4,000 more will be
laid off within a few days in South
Lancashire
1t is regarded that in the city OF
London 100000 men will be forced to
give up their jobs on account of the
coal miners strike
For the first time since 1888 not q
ton of coal came into the city during
the entire day.
Premier Asquith informed the house
of commons that the government was
unanimously in favor of minimum
wage scale being provided for the coal
miners
