Appreciation OF Governor Pink

rotary of the territory. not only for
himself and his nearest friends but
for all Hawaiians. was expressed to-
day by Col. Curtis P. laukea.
1T seems to NE" says Col. Iaukea,
that in this nomination the door is
thrown open for any Hawaiian who
desires to strive for position OF hon
or and trust. 1t ought to be an In
ducement for Hawaiians to endeavor
to show themselves worthy Of these
positions.
1T is a mark of respect towards
all Hawaiians when position of trust
is offered one of them in the country
which is no longer their own.
az would add says Col, Iaukea,
-tIiat appreciate. deeply Governor
Pinkham's nomination in that the idea
OF putting Hawaiians into office is
due largely to his efforts and recon-
Inendations :. b,
The newly named secretary would
suggest no policy of his office or gen.
eraI plans. expressing the belief that
such statements before he. is con-
firmed would be. hasty. T.. +
He does not believe that the nomin-
alton will meet with opposition from

OF different political faith. The dele

for the offices in the territory, he

Not Operated For Profit.
1.-THE company has never operated
the bar on the Mauna Kea for profit. -
said Mr. 0edge, "but merely for the
accommodation of the travelling pub
lie. In many cases it has also served
as a safety valve for, knowing liquor
could be obtained on board, there are
those who would not provide themselves
with greater quantities than they could
conveniently use.
''Ih cases where no liquor Is served
aboard q vessel 1t has been shown that
liquor has been carried aboard in in.

treating which in many instances
amount to goodly sized glasses or por.

have decreed that no more liquor will
be sold TO patrons by either the com.
pany or its employees and any employee
found guilty Of violation of the order
will be dismissed forthwith. =
Sell Soft Drinks
Mr.. Gedge said that the bar will not
be done away with entirely, for il is
now the intention Of the company to
dispense soft drinks and cigars in the
stead Of alcoholic beverages. This will
provide a place for the men folk TO
congregate and play cards, but the
sale Of Intoxicating liquors will be
strictly tabu.

Many of the rudbeckiaS are hardy
and perennial, but they may be treated
as ANNALS. The flowers are quite
snowy and usually have yellow rays,
though some are crimson and others
more or less covered with brown to-
ward the base. The rudbeckias are or
very easy cultivation, thriving in al
most any soil and climate. Most OF
them prefer a moist soil, but will thrive
in the garden under ordinary cultiva-
ton. Rudbeckia hirta-the black-eyed
Susans, or "nigger-heads," as they are
sometimes called-will thrive in the
hottest and dryest situations. Rud-
bekia triloba, biennial, perpetuates
itself through self-sown plants. The
triloba may be used quite effectively
