Los Angeles = That three large
steamships of the type Of the Man
churia will be built at Long Beach and
that five large steamships are to be
leased from defunct Hong Kong line
within eight months is the statement
of Coon Lee, representing the Chinese
organizations that are promoting the
Los Angeles Hong Kong steamship
project, on his return from tour of
Seattle, Portland and other Pacific
Coast cities.
Lee announced that the Chinese
along the entire coast desired line of
ships that can compete with the Jap
anese lines now operating between the
Orient and San Francisco and said
that funds practically were assured.
The Chinese of Mexico, the United
States and South America are to raise
one-half of the $4,000, 600 necessary
and are now endeavoring to secure rec
'ognition for the new republic of
China, because, they explain, it will
provide the other half Of the fund if it
is recognized and thus enabled to es-
tablish itself on an operative basis
whereby it can negotiate loan or
issue bonds.

throwers and hammer throwers, exer-
cised on other athletic grounds.

Colonel Black, president of the Swed-
ish Olympic committee, received

commissioner, at the games and COM

the American team.

clay bird shooting was begun. This
consists of three stages, the first stage
of which was concluded. The condi'

Wilson's vote Of COZ on the ballot
was a majority Of the convention. 1t
was the highest vote he had received,
and the vote of 329 cast for Clark was
the lowest received by him during the
prolonged balloting.
When the result was announced the
demonstration for Wilson was as en-
thusiastic and protracted as the weary
delegates could make it.
Wilson lacked only 124 votes of the
necessary two thirds to nominate.

Fuel Oil Laws Conflict.

Vancouver, B. C. = The Canadian
shipping act makes it compulsory that
fuel oil used on steamers shall flash
above 200 and the customs regulations
permit the free entry only of fuel oil
that will flash below 200. The steamer
Washtenaw, here with &c, 600 barrels
of California oil for the Canadian Pa
cific, is tied up by demand for 81
cents a gallon duty, more than the ac-
tual cost Of the oil. If the customs
ruling is adhered to, the oil burning
liners that ply to American ports will
make Seattle their bunker port.

McCombs May Lead Fight,

Baltimore - William F. McCombs,
of New York, SO years old, a lawyer
and graduate of Princeton and Har-
ward, will in all probability be chosen
as chairman Of the Democratic Ma
tional committee or as chairman of the
campaign committee to direct the po-
litical fortunes of Woodrow Wilson
for president of. the United States.
Mr.. McCombs, who managed the pre-
nomination campaign for Governor
Wilson, is Mr.. Wilson's choice as the
man who should pull the wires and
push the workers from now on.

I. r. OUTLINES FIGHT.
Colonel Intends to Appeal to Farmers
and Laborers.

Oyster Bay, N. Y. A campaign
along novel lines has been sketched in
bare outline by Colonel Roosevelt. As
the candidate Of the new progressive
party for the presidency, Colonel
Roosevelt intends to make an appeal
largely to the farmer and the wage
worker on the ground that neither the
Democratic nor the Republican party
is attempting seriously in this cam
paign to deal with the fundamental
economic and social conditions which
confront the country. Particular at
tention will be paid to the high cost Of
living.
Colonel Roosevelt said that Senator
Dixon of Montana, who managed his
campaign for the Republican presi-
Dental nomination, in all probability
would be his campaign manager in his
fight at the head of the new party.
The senator's headquarters probably
will be in New York, where he has
passed most of the time since the Chi.
cago convention. This program has
been agreed upon as definitely as pos.
sible in advance of the national con.
vention in Chicago next month.
Colonel Roosevelt has been engaged
in study of the platform adopted il
Baltimore last week, and of the Re
publican platform, and he believes he
has found in them valuable campaign
material. He said neither of these
platforms showed the slightest under
standing of the social and industrial
movement which is under way in thi.
country. They have taken up, he said
the old policies and the battle cries o.
other years.

Vote Two Battleships.

Washington, D. C.-The naval ap-
preparation bill, carrying $133, 600, 674
and the wo-battleship provision, was
passed by the senate. It now goes to
conference with the house to thresh
out the naval increase program and
other senate amendments. Senator
johnson, Of Alabama, proposed sub
stitution provision for one battleship
and gave notice he would propose,
when the Panama canal administration
is considered, to deny the use of the
canal to all nations which do not agree
to build only one battleship year.

More Bonds Will Not Be Needed for
Work This Year.

Washington, D. c. = With nearly
500, 900, 900 in the cash drawer of the
treasury, officials expressed the belief
that it will not be necessary to issue
additional bonds for the construction
of the Panama canal for nearly year.
The purchase and building of the
waterway to date has cost the United
States $276, 4s7, 900. Of this amount
$137, 1856, 900 has been paid out of the
general fund of the treasury and the
remainder from bond issues.
Balancing its books for the fiscal
year just closed, the Treasury depart
ment issues a statement showing that
the army cost $3.50, 1872, 900, against
$3.50, 1876, 900 the previous year; the
Navy $135, 556, 900, against $119, $685.
900, and pensions $153, SGT, 900,
against $157, $751; 900.

Five Teachers Lost.

Honolulu - Five teachers in the
Honolulu public schools, three men
and two women, who went on a tramp
ing trip in the Kooleu mountains Sat

Woodrow Wilson lacked only 963
votes on the 44th ballot, indicating a
strong possibility of nomination on
the 18th ballot.
That there would be a slump of I'm
derwood votes to Wilson, probably on
the 45th ballot, but certainly on the
46th, if that many ballots were taken,
seemed probable.

hood?
The lines along which effec-
tive work could be done are many
indeed, and work along one line
would inevitably suggest things
to be done in some other. The
need for such organized com
munity effort is great and its pos
sibilities almost beyond our com
prehension. Rural life is yet
largely to be developed, and it
will never reach its full beauty
and charm and dignity until farm
people realize that their much
lamented lack of social advant-
ages is largely their own fault,
and that Just as the individual
gives to the welfare of the com
munity SO will the community be
able to contribute to the welfare
and happiness of the individual.
