with difficulty he made the last few
yards. ~ Just foated to the finish, |
the last yard or two, ~ is as he puts it.
Even then the nearest man was a
safe distance to the rear.
Kahanamoku s style of swimming is
altogether different from that used by
all others whom he swan against. He
has clean cut.away swish motion of
the arms which hardly ripples the water
while the others splash so much that
they make progress but slowly.
Chairman Rawhns yesterday asked
Duke how would he like trip to Maui
and Hawaii. "Just what | have been
wishing for a long while, nothing bet
ter, am sure,n was Duke IS quick re-
sponse and right then and there it was
fixed that Rawlins will accompany
Duke at an early date on visit to
Maui and Hilo, where the world s
champion will give a few exhibition
stunts and in person thank the good
, island people for their generous sup
port.
At Puunene there is fine swimming
tank and at Hilo the Waikiki river is
just the ideal place for hundred
yard dash.
After the European trip Duke visited
Atlantic City where the fine surfboard
sent from here awaited him. He says
his surfboard water stunts took every
body by the ear and thousands were
out every time he surfed, to watch his
work.
George Freeth Some Diver.
In regard to diving stunts the Island
lad does not think much of what he
saw along this line on the mainland
and he thinks George Freeth can give
them cards and spades and beat all of
them in fancy and other diving. Freeth
lis now at Coronado Beach, California
but is willing to represent Hawaii at
any time he is called upon to do so.
What Duke is now particularly inter
ested in is to take in hand a relay
team of Island swimmers and prepare
them for 1915. "Itm be easy to beat
all comers at the exposition, is what
Duke says in this respect.
Asked if be trained down to too fine
point, Duke said he did not think
so He had some little difficulty at the
start to master the turns in tank swim
ming. This he was never called upon
to negotiate at Waikiki and, in the be
ginning. it puzzled him. but he soor
got it down pat. He did not complain
about the temperature of the water al
Stockholm. There, when the race!
came off, it was from four to six de
grees lower than at Waikiki.
Same Old Duke.

, when he left Hawaii in February las

, One very noticeable and pleasing
! thing about the lad is that all of hi

CAMPAIGN TO BE
RAPID FIRE ONE

ing that brilliant and effective can
vass, and is fully acquainted with
the political situation in all parts OF
the state, and especially the organi-
cation of the party in the state in
all its ramifications
Chairman Lakin expects to an
nounce the members of his advisory
committee this week, and it is more
than likely that former Chairman
Highland viii be designated as the
chairman of that committee. The
most cordial and friendly relations
exists between the two, and since
the coming of Mr. Lakln to this city,
he and Mr.. Highland have confer
red frequently and worked constant
ly to get the big machinry of organ
ization started ana running smooth
ly. This Is one of the most import
ant departments at headquarters,
and is expected to be more import
ant this campaign than ever before.
1t is the committees plan to conduct
a whirlwind speaking campaign this
year. There will be no court houses
and few school houses that will not
hear one, and likely more, speakers
in defense and support of RepublI-
can principles and candidates. John
Bond, the Charleston newspaper
correspondent. is expected to arrive
today (Monday), and will remain
here for several days on this visit
at least Mr.. Bond is scheduledt to
discharge the duties of very i'm
portant position in this campaign.
While Chairman Lakin did not ar
rive here until last FRIDAY that does
not mean that he waited until he ar
rived here before starting much pre-
liminary important business. Not
a bit of it. AS soon as he was elect
ed chairman he started 10 work on
the job and he has been in commun-
ication with organization leaders
and committee chairmen for some
days. The same preliminary work
in the publicity department was
started by the head of that branch
of the service several days before
he arrived here. So 1t will be seen
that much real work was started
before the headquarters was opened
and before any of the department
heads had put in an appearance in
this city.

stand ready to get behind Hayes.
The progressive party offers him
its endorsement and hundreds OF IN
dependent Democrats are urging
him to make the race and Offering
their support. Hayes has his pc
titions and If he can get on all these
tickets he will enter the race and
make the fight.
Fox's nomination seems to have
raised revolution in his party. In
the first place the Democrats in
Webster county claim that by the
precedent of custom of rotation fol-
lowed for years. that county was en-
titled to have the nominee this year.
and not Braxton county, which is
the county in which Fox resides.
They are also sore because Sam
Hayes, of Gilmer. was put on the
state committee by order of Boss
Watson in the place OF their man,
Hoover. Webster Democrats are in
open rebellion in consequence Of
these alleged wrongs done them, and
are swearing vengeance.
Fox's nomination is unpopular
because he is corporation attorney,
is charged with disloyalty TO Bryan
and with being in the employ of the
Watson interests. The conditions
are ripe for the entrance of G. War
rem Hayes as an Independent DEM
ocratic candidate. G. Warren
Hayes is personally known in every
county in the district. has cam
paigned in them for years, has rep
resented them in the state senat and
now represents Calhoun in the
House; has been a fighting Bryan
apostle ever since Bryan flashed on
the political horizon, and is spell
binder from way up the creak,, as
we'll as shrewd and experienced
politician. From all reports G.
Warren Hayes is the man who
stands the best chance of turning
this trick, and as he saw it first he
is entitled to have a try at 1t. And
he is going to. What Republicans
there are in that district are sin
cerely hoping SO and stand ready to
give him all the encouragement
thin their power.
Senator Watson came to Parkers-
burg Thursday. arriving from Fair
mont at 1850 p. m. and returning
there on the train leaving at Z
O'Clock in the evening. While his
visit to headquarters was therefore
a brief one, yet If could have been
much briefer and still gwen him am
pie time in which to transact the
business he came for. There was
great rejoicing among the heads of
the department and subordinate az
taches. The fist pay day, it is said,
will be on Saturday.

We STILL CAN GET
OUR SUMNER STRAW HAT

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-The gen
eral fear that the Chinese revolution
may have a depressing effect upon
the strawbraid industry in China, and,
consequently, upon the quantity of
straw imported into this country for
the making of straw hats, is not found
ed upon fact, according to a report
just made by Consul ]. G. McNalley,
at Tsingtau, China, to the state de-
partment.
McNally states that the straw hat
industry in this country is in no dan
ger of being hampered by lack of
material because the activities Of the
revolutionists have not, so far, mater
tally decreased the work of the straw
gatherers or braiders in China and
there appears to be little chance of
interference with this work. AS proof
of this, the consul shows that the ag-
gregate net value of straw-braid ex-
ports to the United States from Using
tau during the December quarter,
1910, was $209,746; while the value
of the braid exported during the same
quarter for 1911 was $4,000. Using

SPECIALISTS TO STUDY
MOSCOW PAVING PLANS

The Chamber of Commerce feed to-

was fine, and some interesting dis
cussions were given. Attorneys W. NJ
Morgan and G. G. Pickett gave a de-
tailed discussion of the legal phase Of
the paving question, and their investi
cations shed a great deal of light on
the veXed issue. 1t is developing that
there is little in the way of actual pro-
gress, but that little must be determin-
ed by a decision of the supreme court
The Chamber, on motion of B. T.
Ryrns, provided to send Mr. Morgan
to Boise at once to represent the cit
liens, while City Attorney Pickett
will represent the city. No time will
be lost to get an early decision. If there
is, no adverse decision from the court,
Moscow will be paved this year The
sentiment is practically unanimous.
The matter Of wood paving was also
brought up, ex-Mayor B. T. Byrns say
ing it was worthy of investigation, and
upon his motion the chair appointed
committee of two, Dean Carlyle and
G. H. Shattuck, both of the University
of Idaho, to look into this matter.
Ralston S. Butterfeld, who spent
much time recently visiting Chicago,
said that Chicago was using blocks
for paving on her streets where the
traffic was the hardest, and that he
saw creosoted block paving that had
been down eight years and that it
was in perfect condition, as good as

one of the greatest authorities upon
constitutional law in the United States
senate, the memory of Ex-Governor
Frank Stuenenberg of Idaho, and a

court Of appeals today when Judge
Gilbert of the circuit court sustained
the decision Of the federal district
court that there was no evidence of
fraud.
The case is one of the most noted
in the history of Idaho. 1t resulted
from an effort of Especial agents" to
connect some of the most prOmenant
men, and men of unquestiOnable integ-
ity, in the state of Idaho, with land
frauds. 1t was referred to, by impli-
cation at least in Governor HaWley's
recent excOriatiOn of PeytOn Gordon,
late United States special prosecutor,
in the case of Clarence RObnett. "Ida-
no has suffered enough from carpet
baggers," said Governor HawIey that
left no doubt of his reference to this
case.

MOSCOW CENTER FOR

Scott Brothers, florists, to meet the
demands for their line Of business,
have decided to greatly increase the
capacity of their Moscow plant. Ii is
probable that they will move their
Garfield plant here and use the glass in
the new plant. However, it has been
decided to enlarge the local green
house to meet the needs of this section,
and the present green house, with a
capacity of 10000 feet, will be en-
larged to $4,000 feet, and possibly 30

tau, is the recognized straw-braid
center of China and the leading eX-
port firms of the far East have large
branches with experts in charge of
the trade to American and European
countries.
The straw is grown by the farmers
of Shangtung and the industry is one
of great importance to the people of
the province. The braid is made by
peasants of both sexes and all ages
and is exclusively household indus
try The better quality as shipped to
the United States is plated by girls of
experience and ability, while the ord
mary qualities are made by the aged
and very young. During the summer
months, when the men are employed
in the fields, cultivating the crop, eve
ry member of the household is en-
gagged in plating the straw and it is
frequently necessary to hire outside
persons to assist in keeping ahead of
the numerous orders for plaits. The
wages of these persons vary from
four to sixteen cents a day, only eX-
pert plaiters receiving the highest
price.

The decision practically allows the
use of dummy entrymen by the land
grabbing corporations in limited num-
bers. This use is limited only by the
provision that the corporation must
not know" that the entries are fraud
ulant. 1t also allows the dummies to
borrow money an agree to sell the

The decision came as an affirmation
of the ruling of the United States cir
cult court in connection with the fill
ing of the applications of 2l0 entry
men on the Boise basin, Crooked River
and Six-Four lands in Idaho in 1901

Investigating the entries the govern

poration and the other defendants, as
serting a lack of evidence of crooked

The program concluded with an ap-
peal for the Moscow band. 1t was
pointed out that the band had been
partly supported by popular sub
scription, which was now expired, and
shown that during the past few
months the citizens had contributed
but few dollars month towards the
support of the band. 1t was suggest
ed that new subscription be cir
culated, and that from SIS to 500
per month be raised for the band, the
pledges to extend over period of
12 months from March 1. The chair
appointed a committee consisting Of

Moscow takes pardonable pride in
her splendid band, and yet, if it is to
be maintained it must be supported
better in the future than during the
past year. The committee entertains
no doubt of the desires of the people,
and the necessary pledges will be
promptly raised. If not the band will
probably be thing of the past.
