Ranchers in Jocko Valley
Have Hard Time Getting
Feed to Stock.
SKINS AT Il CENTS
Large Pelt Now Brings
About SIS at Arlee, Al
though Not Tanned.

Deep snow in the Jocko valley and
on the hills where hundreds of cattle
ordinarily find ample winter feed Is
causing the death Of O. great deal OF
stock. according to James Teevan. Ar
lee merchaptssi who was In Missoula
yesterday. Snow varying between two
and three feet-in depth fell everywhere
in western Montana a week ago. and
the Jocko valley got Its share.
In the Jocko. however. the situation
is complicated by a lack Of hay. Deep
snow is SO rarely experienced there
that lanchers usually can winter their
stock in the hills without trouble. The
snow this year is killing many steers.
1t is said.
Hides Bring Big Prices.
The loss to the cattlemen is miti-
gated somewhat by the fact that hides
are bringing extraordinary prices this
year. The high cost of shoes may be
explained IL part by the fact that
green hides tare selling for 81 cents a
pound in Arlee. That means that a
good skin will bring about $25. Mem
cries will not crack under the strain OF
going back to the time when hides
sold for about So apiece.

Indians at Arlee. says Teevan, are
predicting a chinook for this week.

with pension benafits, and a number
of teachers are prepared to take ad-
vantage Of its benefits by subscribing
to the fund, such subscriptions being
entirely voluntary.
The tenure Of the teacher in office
has been made definite by the institu-
ton Of a system of contracts whereby
the department undertakes to employ
teacher for a year, or such part Of
the year as remains, whereas the
teacher contracts to give thirty days
notice In case she wishes to leave the
service. The contract system has
shown itself to be very useful, as it
has done away with much occasion
for Misunderstanding and trouble.
UNIFORM STUDY COURSE
The step forward has been taken in
the placing into effect Of a uniform
course of study for all the high schools
in the territory, which provides the
same requirement for these various
institutions. The department has also
made an innovation by issuing diplo'
mas to those who pass its regular
eighth grade examination, and the

of sine qua non for entrance into the
high schools and the normal school.
While the entrance conditions into
the Normal school were thus raised,
this has not prevented the efforts OF
the Department to increase the num-
Der of locally trained teachers from
being successful and, whereas a few
years ago, the average class in the,
Normal school ranged from 80 to 40
pupils, the present freshman class
numbers 1876 members. It is particu-
larly gratifying to note that the num-
Der of young men and women who.
attend the Normal school, after having
graduated from high school, is steadily

was 662, whereas when the schools
open next September. there will be
over $40 teachers IN the service. This

meeting was held at the University
Club in their honor and to discuss
the advisability Of starting some edu-
.cational work among the prospective
citizens Of the territory. DR.. Quick
urged the importance Of some organi-
zation doing work to train the thou
sands Of young men who WIN soon be-
come voters. After discussing the
question of forming a new organizS
ton to carry on the work. q resolution
was adopted requesting the Young
Mems Christian Association 70 maugu-
rate the work and to appoint Q special
committee to direct lt. The follow
ing were appointed as the committee:
W. F. Frear, John Waterhouse. Judge
C. F. Clemens, J. p. Cooke, w. r. Far.
rington, Lloyd r. Killan, AT. Judd
and F. c. Anterior. Due to the resig-
nations Of Mr.. Cooke and Mr.. Ather-
ton, President A. L. Dean and A. l.
Castle have been added to the orig.
inal committee.
"Purpose-A three-fold purpose has
guided the work Of the committee:
First, to give the young men Of these
islands those ideals Of American gov
eminent and life which win make
them good citizens; second, to stimu-
late other organizations to carry on
work Of Americanization: third. to
assist in bringing about better un

"Groups.-The work of the educa-
ton secretaries employed by the COM
mittee has been planned i. to reach
three distinct groups: ~ The Ha-
waiian-born young men OF all races;
(2) the parents of the Oriental young
people; 60 men desiring to qualify
for naturalization.
Celebration Of Holidays.-Special
meetings have been arranged for the
principal American holidays. Enough
of q beginning has been made to
show the importance Of these celebra-
lions. The committee believes that
the government should set aside the
Fourth Of July as q day when all new
citizens should be publicly recognized.
This is as important for native born
as for naturalized citizens. H..

the Sons and Daughters Of American

HonOIuIu's Fire
Losses IN ) Years
otaIBut S282,824
Department Has Grown Until
1t Has SIS Men With Monthly
Payroll of $5275

Fire Chief Thurston and his assist
ant, W. W. Blaisdell, have recently
compiled an interesting comparison OF
Honolulu's fire department equipment
Of 1913 and 1917. The table shows the
department taking on more Of q metro
politan aspect from year to year.
For Instance in 1913 there were four
horse-drawn steam engines with Q
pumping capacity Of 300 gallons a
minute and now there are three motor
pump engines and q hose wagon with
only one steam-drawn fire engine. with
a total pumping capacity Of 1000 gal
Ions.
Four years ago there was one cheml'
cal engine with an s0-gallon tank; now
there is the same engine but motor
propelled.
Four motor-drawn combination hose
and chemical wagons and one horse
drawn apparatus are the same now a.
four years ago, but the horses are ex
pected to go soon. In 1913 there were
10 horses In service and two in re-
serve; now the order is reversed.
In 1913 there we're IS men In the

fire hydrants; now there are IS on
the payroll and $50 hydrants. Fire
alarm boxes then numbered 81 non.
interfering Gamewell's: now there are
126 Of these, besides 122 patent Denis
fire and police boxes.
Five years ago the department pay.
roll was $3905 a month; in 1917 and
prior to the recent raise of salaries
in all departments 1t was $4605 =
month Now it is SALTS. The fund for
material and repairs used to be 500
a month but is now only $500, due to
the decrease in expense by use Of
motor-driven vehicles.
. The chief points out that operating
expenses Of the department have risen
gradually in the last five years accord
ing to the following table, excepting
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1917-06-30

Adding to the total $297, S96.46, and
expense Of $74,012.50 for cost OF addi-
tional equipment during the last five
years, it win be seen that the fire de-
partment has cost. the city q grand
total of 1911 ,90s.96, but against this
is the fact that total fire losses have
only been $282,824.38 In all that time.
