YOUNG HAWAIIAN SWIMMERS
LOSE LUCRATIVE JOBS
War Cuts Out Their Diving Stunts in
Honolulu HarbOr Because OF
Alien Enemies

HONOLULU-Touri arriving at
Honolulu will no longer be greeted by
what, has for. many years been
one of the novel attractions of the
port. The Swimming boys" have been
put out of business by the war.
The territorial board of harbor COM
missioners has adopted new set OF
rules and regulations for the harbor,
intended to obviate the danger of fire
or explosions that might be caused
by enemy aliens. One of these rules
is that there shall be no swimming in
the harbor, except within SO yards of
the three boat club houses.
Heretofore every incoming steamer
from the coast or from the Orient
has been met by school of young
Hawaiian boys who would swim out to
meet the vessel and then, sporting
like porpoises, accompanying it into
the dock. 1t has been the custom of
the tourists to toss coins over the
side for the boys to dive for, and
rarely has it happened that any thin
lime sank so far down that it could
not be recovered by one of the divers.

GOOD CROWDS ATTEND
PANHANDLE POULTRY SHOW

Unusual interest in the show of the
Panhandle Poultry association to
which Moscow has been acting the host
this week continues to be manifested
by both local citizens and out-of-town
visitors.
Late this morning and early this
afternoon the aisles between the pens
in which the feathered prize winners
are exhibited were so crowded with
people that any movement was neces-
sarily that of the mass.
The attention which the show has
drawn this year is sure to mean, &C
cording to officials of the Panhandle
association, that the event will be
made even more extensive in 1919.

wheat, can consider this important
question on it's merits.
Means 100000 Bushels
1t is estimated here that these Sc
"unskilled farm laborers" will pro-
duce 100000 bushels of wheat this
year. Because of the scarcity Of
wheat, we believe that your careful ex-
animation of each individual agricul-
tural case will be greatly appreciated by
the president. With such action as
that taken by your board, in the sc
cases, deferred classification for farm
ers is a delusion.
Wish to Be Fair
We have endeavored to place this
matter before you fairly and without
feeling. We trust that we may work
together to better advantage than here
tofore. The people of this county
are patriotic and are supporting the
government. They are not trying to
shirk from any service. All they
want is a fair deal.
This board has recently received a
very undignified and very foolish let
ter from your secretary The letter
is not worthy of reply The opinion
Of this board, or his opinion of the
people of this county, is a matter of
little consequence to us.
Very respectfully,

We have been nearer right than the

Bad Crop Last Year
Another consideration which should
appeal to both the local and the district
boards is that the period of time with
respect to crop production is the last
crop season; and everyone here knows
that the crop production of 1917 in
this section, was not so per cent of the
normal production.
We cannot understand the action of
your board in placing the names of
these Sc men in Glass /, as "unskilled
farm laborers." The lowest classifi-
cation a man should be placed in who
farms all the time and has never done
anything but farm, Glass II. Your
board. however, has placed men, who
farm their own land in Class I and has
called them "unskilled farm laborers."
One Specific Case
Here is man who was put by you
In Glass l, although we recommended
him for Glass ~:
Martin Alexander Anderson, farms
$50 acres Of land, 100 acres Of which
belongs to him. He owns and works
fifteen horses on this farm, together
with the necessary farm machinery,
and has about one hundred head OF
cattle, sheep and hogs in addition He
has 100 acres of fall wheat planted,
which should produce 5000 bushels.
He expects to put in 140 acres in
spring grain, which should produce
1900 bushels, making over ten thou
sand bushels of grain and one hundred
tons of hay this "unskilled farm Ia
borer" will furnish the world in the
went he is not taken away as soldier.

FEDERAL RAILROAD CONTROL
WAR EMERGENCY MEASURE

ulate expressly that federal operation
of the roads was undertaken as a war
emergency measure, and that it shall
not prejudice the governments future

We believe this man is a necessary
managing and directing head of nee
essary agricultural enterprise, anG
that he should have been placed in
Glass " This man never did any
other work in his life but farm work
and he has worked all his life on the
farm, yet to the district board he is
nothing more nor less than an "un-
skilled farm laborer"'.
The Anderson case is cited merely
because Mr. Anderson has just called
and his grievances are in mind. You
absolutely violated both the letter and
spirit of rules, we believe, in this case,
and you surely could not have given
this case any consideration.
Others Just as Bad
1t is not practicticable to take up
and discuss each of the sc cases. We
respectfully suggest, however, that the
district board is in error in. the clas-
sificatiOn made with respect to all, or
nearly all of them. This statement is
made after careful examination of
the different questionaires.
Worst Feature of Ruling
The worst feature of the whole rul-
ing is that your board was unanimous
in the vote on the classification, fact
which probably deprives these men of
the right to appeal. In view, there
fore, of the Importance of your de-
cision, we most respectfully urge that
hereafter either a very careful ex-
animation be made of each case, or
that at least one of your number vote
in the negative in each case, so that
