Interest in the work of the asso-
citation is not confined to a few per-
sons; not only to the more than seven
thousand shareholders in the planta-
ton corporations, but is shared by the
whole population of these islands. AS
a result of the development and sue
cess of the sugar industry the whole
country has benefited and there has
been marked progress made in the ed
ucational, sanitary, religious and phil
anthropic institutions and work of the
territory; which with the high stand
ards of business integrity maintained
have contributed in a large degree to
the development of the community of
these islands along traditional
American lines" g..

Labor Problems.
Among the more important mat
tiers which have occupied the attention
of the trustees during the past year
have been those relating to labor, the
work of the experiment station, and
proposed legislation in Congress re-
lating to the sugar tariff, sbesides
which we're the many usual matters
affecting the sugar industry.
The organization of the sugar
planters of these islands was formed
in March, 1882. under the name of
The Planters Labor and Supply Com
pany.' For several years prior to the
forming of the association the matter
OF taking such action was suggested
and various plans were proposed, and
finally under date Of February IS,
1882, an invitation, signed by Castle

from Latah county, Idaho, just across

Reed, living three miles northeast Of

hogs were apparently in good health
and condition three days before. They
had been turned into field of alfalfa
but a short time before they began
dying.
Bert knight, who has more than 100
hogs, and j. w. Divine, with an
equal number, both living less than a
mile from the Reed ranch, are wor-
ried. Mr.. Reed has buried the bodies
of the dead hogs. He has but two
hogs left out Of more than 20 head.
Mr.. Reed also lost valuable COW

HOME RULE GAINS FORCE.
Second Reading in House of Com

Second Reading in House Of Com
mons Gives Majority Of lOI.
London - The government carried
the home rule bill on its second read
ing in the house of commons by ma
jority of 101, as against 81 for the
first reading. The vote was 372 to 271.
1t was the most largely attended
house of the present parliament. Both
sides had done their utmost to secure
every available vote. Mr.. Balfour,
former opposition leader, and Mr..
Churchill. first lord of the admiralty,
returned from Weymouth to be present.
The announcement of the figures
showing an increased majority occa-
stoned enthusiastic demonstrations on
the government side and the Prime
minister received a great ovation on
leaving the house with his wife and
daughter, from the crowd that assem-
bled outside. The committee stage of
the home rule bill is not expected to
be reached until Whitsuntide, and
probably will occupy a couple OF
months, even with liberal application
of the closure rules, as the opposition
is preparing an endless list of amend
ments and will adopt every possible
means to obscure the measure.

Regatta Dates Changed.

Astoria-The board of directors of
the Astoria Motor Boat club, have
changed the dates for the coming an
nual regatta to August ~, % and 20.
The dates originally selected were
August %, %, and "a. The change
was made in order to have the big wa
ter carnival after the fishing season
closes August Is.
Manager Trenchard will take up
the matter of securing revenue
cutter to patrol the course during the
races, having the course formally ap-
proved by the Treasury department
and Of having the department issue
rules governing the course SO as to
prevent interference with the races
by steamers. He will apply to the
Navy department asking that one or
more warships be detailed to come
here for the regatta.

RAIN DOES GOOD.

Ground Has Enough Moisture to In
sure Big Crop.
Pullman-The rain is believed to be
over for a while and warm weather is
promised. The ground now has
enough moisture to insure big crop,
with the average rainfall from now
until harvest.
Seeding has been resumed, and the
surface of the ground is drying rapid
ly. A large acreage of oats will be
planted this spring. The ground is in
ideal condition for oats and every
available acre will be planted. Spring
seeding is little later than usual,
but with so much moisture in the
ground this is regarded as more of an
advantage than disadvantage.
The fruit prospect is claimed by all
to be the best in years.

Ship Three Cars Of Rock.

Walla Walla-The first rock, three
carloads, has just been shipped from
the state rock quarry at Dixie, 10
miles from Walla Walla, to the con-
tractors now constructing the last of
the state aid roads near this city.
At the quarry the bunkers are full
of graded rock awaiting shipment and
within short time it is expected that
the full output will be going to the
Macdonald state aid road as fast as it
is crushed. The rock is proving ex-
cellent material, it is said, sound in
quality and entirely free from all dirt.

House win Hear Charges

Washington, D. C.-Public hearings
on charges against Robert w. Archi-
bald, Judge of the Commerce court,
upon which may be based impeach-
ment proceedings, were decided upon
by the house judiciary committee.
Testimony in open session will be be-
gun Immediately after the committee
has examined all the papers forwarded
by Attorney General Wickersham.
Edward ]. Williams, of Scranton,
Pa, will be the first witness. He is
a coal dealer, who, it is alleged, ne
gotiated with the Erie railroad for the
purchase of culm bank property to be
sold at large profit, transaction in
which Judge Archibald is alleged to
have been interested, would not dis
cuss the charges, but denied that he
attempted to flee to Europe.

DRASTIC BILL is ADOPTED.
Would Abolish Commerce Court
Create Bureau of Commences.

Create Bureau of Commerce.
Washington, D. C.-Revolutionary
proposals such as have not been
grouped in any bill passed by the pres
ent session of congress were adopted
by the house in the Legislative, execu-
tive and judicial appropriation bill.
The measure will probably be passed.
The bill now proposes:
Abolition of the United States Com
merce court and the restoration to the
Interstate Commerce commission OF
all railroad regulatory power, subject
to appeal only to United States dis
trict courts.
Creation of bureau of foreign do
nestle commerce with all the present
powers of the co-called Tariff board,
to be under the jurisdiction of the Sec
rotary of commerce and labor. The
new bureau would absorb the bureau
of trade relations of the State depart
ment and the bureau of manufactures
and statistics of the department OF
commerce and labor.
Concentration of the distribution OF
public documents, of which millions
annually are sent from the govern.
ment printing Office in Washington.
The house overruled the committee
in charge of the bill in number OF
instances.
After bitter fight the house re-
fused to abolish the position of deputy
commissioner of lighthouse service
and on this point Speaker Clark joined
with the opposition to the committee.
The detection in the Democratic
ranks caused an outbreak in the clos.
ing hours of the session, which LASTED
from IL o'clock in the morning until 9
at night.
