What the Oregon ana washington
naval militia thought OF their cruise
to Honolulu on the Milwaukee. some
weeks ago. Is OF interest to every Ho.
The Following, from fe Portland
Sunday Journal, is by F. G. jackson, .
member Of the Oregon naval reserve:
Nothing Is more potent in Its slim
ulation OF an interest in things ashore
than q few days At sea. No one Is
mere anxious to get ashore than Jack
Tar and incidentally 10 return aboard
ship again in few days Thus the
old phrase speculation is rife quite
truly expressed the state OF mind Of
all the naval militiamen Of Oregon and
washington and others aboard the u.
S. s. Milwaukee for, the "A hours pre-
ceding her arrival OF the island Of
Oahu ON which Honolulu is located.
We sighted the land during the early
watch. at about . o'clock p. m. At
first there appeared only . veil of mist
on the waters, which. slowly rising.
soon disclosed rock bound coast sur
mounted by a rugged mountain range.
We turned Makapu point and our
view slowly changed to foothills slOp-
ing toward the sea by series Of I'M
dulating prairies and ending In smooth
beaches at the waters edge. Soon we
arrived on shore and after, as It
seemed, endless formalities of various
kinds. we steamed into the harbor and
made fast at the pier.
All were wild to get ashore. but the
crew had to coal ship that day before
liberty was granted, and so but few
of us. set foot on land that day.
The city OF Honolulu as first seen
from the sea gives one no idea of its
pccuiiaritieS. II looks as hundred
cities look. Trees and buildings in the
mid ground. towering hills In the rear,
and the ever present docks and ships
laying along the water front The ever
present Standard Oil company tanks
and houses are the most conspicuous
sights and the regulation gas tanks,
warehouses and. an the ugly and utili-
tartan eyesores Of any American city
the main things To greet the travellers
eyes.
II is not as q tropical city sheuld
be, but I am tod it is much like they
an are. civilization is everywhere and
for the sightseer more's the pity.
The harbor OF Honolulu is almost
entirely artificial and Is in reality but
q huge pool blasted and dredged from
the coral reefs and having its connec-
ton with the sea by q long narrow
channel The business district of the
city is close to the edge Of the haroor.
at most but few blocks walk. The
naval station is across the street from
the head of the quays and Is cool
looking indeed, with its tropical trees
and shrubbery. As we stepped on the
dock Kipling,s description "a the south

He says, 1T smites you between the

der the End Infantry Wilt take the

VIII make march around the island.
The regiment viii remain d camp
near HalefNag for q period sufficient
to allow the field officers OF tbe COM
mand to take the required test ride
that occRfs annually, authority for
this ride to be conducted by the regi-
mental commander having been
granted by General Carter. This ride
will be. for 20 miles for each Of three
days and the fact that 1t win be taken
in the Haleiwa section Is gratifying
to the officers for the reason that only
in that part OF Oahu are the roads
other than hard. smooth highways
that are hard on the animals and,
when wet, exceedingly, slippery. Il Is
considered probable that but eleven
companies and headquarters will
make the march in order that the
post may not be left without adequate
IRE and other protection. During the
period that the regiment will be abb
sent the new method of issuing "a.

into operation In order that both the
