Letter From Border.

Camp Wilson, Fort Sam Houston, San Antonio. Tex.-Private Iverson of the Sixth Illinois squad caught tar antula when he opened up the squad surplus kit bag This was the first tarantula that we had seen since be- ing here, and as we had been warned about them the capture of this one caused considerable excitement.
 Captain Wagner told us all about this species of spider from his own experience with sem during the cam paign of 1898 in Cuba during the Spanish-American war. He tied a string around the body of our prize in this instance and has 1t fastened to q peg outside of his tent on Officers row. where the boys can satisfy their curiosity.
 It brings a chill over one to cast Il glance at this fellow we have. His legs open four inches when extended. The results of a bite from him arc too sickening to imagine.
 One day a detail of four men from our company. fn charge of Corporal Peters, were assigned to erecting n new tent for General D. Jack Foster of the First brigade. We had to un- load about twelve pieces of tentage from an army supply wagon and had to open up each piece to choose q per feet tent for the general.
 In opening up the tents we came across several scorpions of full grown size and several smaller ones. The boys on the detail were frightened at seeing so many of these treacherous insects at one time, and we were all afraid to continue handling these can vases. We went ahead. though, and put up tent for the general, and he complimented us on the work that we did. a. .......
 To see a crew of former pencil push CTS from offices of large business houses back in dear old Chicago get down to the hard work of soldier and to see them make good against the terrible heat is proof of what our boys arc made of.

Success Of Fair Does the Talking
Chairman Wadsworth was very
brief in his welcome and his introduc-
tion of the governor. He is letting
the success of the fair do the talking
for him. As master of ceremonies he
had a few brief remarks, directly to
the point in introducing each speaker.
Governor Pinkham was heartily
welcomed when he arose to address
the crowd and he was frequently in
terrnpted by hearty rounds of APP
piause.
w. X. Harrington spoke in a happy
vein, w. f. Crockett rose to some
flights of oratory in his description OF
, the true Spirit of Maui" and J. NJ.
Westeate was listened to with interest
when he told what agricultural expert
ment stations are doing for the ma
ton and what his has done and hopes
to do for the islands and Maui.
Color Presentation Impressive
The really impressive feature of the
morning ceremonies was the presenta-
ton of stand Of colors by the gov
ernor to the 3rd Regiment, the Maui
regiment. The large American flag
was given by the Schuman Carriage
Company and the regimental flag by
Wall < Dougherty. While the band
played a medley of national airs and
all stood with heads barred, the regi-
ment marched to the pavilion plat
form before the governor, who in a
few words that rang with patriotism
and duty to the country, made the
presentation, which was accepted by
Col. Baldwin.
Following the speech of DIR. West
gate Chairman Wadsworth announced
that the fair was opened and that the
judging of horses was the first event.
As Wadsworth resumed his seat there
came the unmistakable noise of the
merry-go-round and the shrill barking
of the ballyhoos at the amusement
concessions. The fair was in full
swing.

Of the Honolulu Star Bulletin. on The
Press Of the Territory and the Signi-

introduced as the man behind the AID

His address was both timely in
thought and eloquent. In part. Mr.

This County Fair represents the rise
OF the average man in the Territory
OF Hawaii and greater spirit of CO.

The spirit OF the press is well ex-
emplified by the hearty cooperation

sections of the press of the territory.
The good news has been spread both
before, and, as it will be, after the
event. The press has consistently fos-
tered ard fomented the cause of the
average man-always urging and
working for a iigher average,

The most gratifying feature Of this
assembly, the events and contests
planned, is the progress it represents
IN our island community life. 1t is an
Did story that 1ur population is made
up of many miXtures--and some of the
ingredients they say will not mix. 1t
is also very true that we of Hawaii

er: First TO establish prosperous and
independent homes and then to unity
them in a common purpose that shall
uplift them all and Pass prosperity
around.
Education. far from taking people
away from agriculture is making the
AGRICULTURAL industry productive,
prosperous, attractive. liyable. II is
ciSilizing an Industry which not so
many years ago was set aside as the
final haven of billiards and clodhop-
pers who incidentally turned out the
greatest men and leaders of the nation.
A Reward of Hard Work
Best Of all, this fair is an evidence
of the splendid reward for hard work.
We of Hawaii must drive home the
thought that if we are TO get anywhere,
accomplish anything worth while, we
must work.
You can bank on il that not single
exhibit on display here was produced
by spending half the day sitting under
a mango tree strumming an ukulele
or standing around on the street cor.
ners consuming cigarettes and polut-
ing the atmosphere with town gossip.
Results that We have here can only
be gained by concentrated attention TO
detail, intensive, intelligent work
We must create community spirit
that glorifies hard work and. rewards
the man who has sense enough To
know where he can apply his natural
ability to the best advantage for him
self anil the community in which he
lives.
Fair is Maui's Opportunity
This fair is your opportunity and
mine to pay our tribute of praise and
respect to the men and women who
work, for they and they alone are re-
sponsibIe for the success of the town,
the county, tie territory and the
nation that goes ahead.
The Interpretation to be placed on
this event is that with each year OF
progress our population, with neigh
bors rapidly becoming friends, is more
thoroughly unified, more nearly Amer
icauizei, more nearly approaching the
average standard of the hard working,
efficient, loyal ard aggressive popula-
ton that we all desire it shall be. And
all this it will be if you and do our
part.
