MAHUKONA MEETS
!. ENDN SOUTH SEAS
Only Two Members of Crew Saw
ed-cargo Of Copra Lost,
Says Press Despatch

Twice threatened with destruction,
once by fire in Honolulu Harbor, and
once by a storm at the mouth Of Co.
lumbia River, the schooner Mahukon
has answered the third call Of the ele-
ments and is now a total wreck in
the South Seas, with all her crew lost
but two sailors who managed to get
ashore on an island when the vessel
was wrecked.
Such Is the ending to a schooner
we'll known in the Islands, where it
was long engaged az a sugar carrier
to the Coast, brought by an Associat-
ed Press report last night.
A total loss with the crew and the
ship was a cargo Of copra which was
loaded for shipment to San Francisco
at Apia.
Before loading copra cargo the Ma.
hukona had carried cargo Of lumber
to Sydney, from Willapa Harbor, where
she arrived on September l. On No.
vember s she sailed from Sydney for
San Francisco by the way Of Apia.
A late marine register gives her mas.
ter's name as johnson and her owner
as J. o. Davenport. She was built
at Hoquiam, Washington, in 1901 and
had a lightweight carrying capacity OF
853 tons
4 The Mahukona is best remembered
here for a fight which was made To
save her from fire by Chief Thurston
and his men in March, 1908, when q
blaze started in the captains quarters
on the schooner.
The Mahukona was anchored in the
row and the flames were first seen by
a Waterman on the naval tug Iro
quois. Fife Chief Thurston and his Are
men got lines of hose aboard the yes
sci by using the tug Fearless and af
ter two hours hard effort saved the
vessel so she could be repaired for Q
voyage to the Coast.
Aid was also rendered in the fight
against the flames by the jackiei
aboard the Iroquois who boarded the
MahukonR as soon as the alarm wal
sounded,
Two years later, in January 1908, q
storm drove the Mahukona ashore al
the mouth of. Columbia River, but she
was pulled off to safety on the fol
lowing day.
The Mahukona at the time of the
fire aboard her in Honolulu Harbol
had arrived here the week before from
Shanghai, China, and was bound fol
Eleele to load sugar.

MAYOR FERN ASKS /.
DIRECT Dir QUESTIONS
How Can Meatless Days Be OBJ
served When Food Admins
traitor Permits High Fish,


The question of substitutes to re-
place the meats and fats that are to
be conserved in the food campaign is
one which Mayor Joseph J. Fern de-
clared yesterday should lie as much
in the hands of the federal food ad
minstrator as the question OF saving
articles needed for Americas army.
"What are the people to eat on
these porkless and meatless daysf" is
the question propOunded by him in his
Office yesterday. 1.-The price of fish is
out of all reasonable bounds, and yet
this substitute for meat has not re-
ceived the attention Of the food admin
istrator despite many promises on his
part
"f bananas can be used for the
manufacture of bread, so could taro,
and both could be of value to the food
campaign provided the food. a mins
traitor can use his power teJcurtail the
large profits that are being made on
both. -
Mayor Fern declares that the use
of taro for making' bread is no new
art among the Hawaiians Of the Is
lands and >Sodld be easily popularized
when pdcessary, provided something
cOUl a'be done to keep down the price

to pay thirty five and forty cents a

catches the fish gets only ten cents

Charges Prohteering
The fish dealers at the market do
not have to pay high rents for their
stalls, perhaps $25 a month. Therefore

NTER-IaAND WAR
TAX RETURNS LARGE
Will Aggregate $4,000 a Month,
Says Company

War tax returns from. the Inter ISL
and Steam Navigation Company will
aggregate something like $4,000 n
month, according to figures compiled
by company officials. Returns for the
month of November amounted to $4,000,
but the amount jumped to something
like $4,000 last month, and the belief is
expressed that it will continue to re-
main near this figure.
The tax payments from public utili-
ties like the Inter Island Compa ny are
of several kinds and cover both freight
and passengers. Three percent of the
amount paid for freight shipments is
the amount of the tax Of that kind. On
steamship tickets between points in the
United States the tax is eight percent
Of the amount paid. Seats, berths and
staterooms also como in for taxation
under the law TO the extent of ten per
cent Of the amount the passenger pays.

CRUEL JOKE ON A SQUIRREL
Naturalist Replaces Nuts With Stones
-Repents When He Sees Hungry
Frisky Dig Snow Away.

Most squirrels keep two or more
stores of food. Rev. J. G. Wood, the
naturalist, tells of friend who found
one Of these reserve stores, which a
squirrel had provided for an emergency
and, in a moment of thoughtlessness,
the man determined to play joke on
the squirrel. He accordingly replaced
the nuts by small, round stones and
carefully concealed all evidences Of
his visit.
One cold day in winter he passed the
spot and found that the squirrel had
called there a short time previously.
This he knew by the fact that ten
inches Of snow had been scratched
from the top Of the hole, outside Of
which the stones had been cast by the
disappointed animal.
This struck the joker with remorSe.
He said: 81 never felt the folly Of
practical joking so much in my life.
Fancy the poor little fellow, nipped
with cold, and scanty food, but, fore
seeing a long winter, resolved to econ
omize his little hoard as much as pos
sible. Fancy him at last determined
to break this-perhaps his last-mag-
azine, and cheerfully brushing away
the snow, fully confident that good
meal awaited him as the reward Of his
cold job, and after all finding nothing
but stones. 1 never felt more mean
end ashamed in my life."

County Attorney Larson

County Attorney Larson has

proposition the people in the
south part of the county who
gave support to such an incom-
petent for so responsible posi-
ticn should hang their heads in
shame. An alleged attorney who
will boast that he had not studied
very much law, but expected to
get admitted by politica alinfuence
is a disgrace to his profession,
and will be a disgrace to the party
that nominated him.. Mean
ing thereby that he had used po-
litical influence in securing his
admission to the practice of law
