Expanding on the subject Of Ha-
waiian weather, Governor Poindexter
said, with a smile, II haven't an over

NAME"
The governor left Hawaii on June
Is, travelling almost directly to
Washington, ID. c. He uses air trans
portation whenever possible and pre-
dicted that within a few months a
regular air line would be established
over the 0cean to the islands. 1.-THE
airships are under construction now
and it will soon be just SO hours from
Honolulu to New York."
Painting an attractive word pic
ture Of Hawaii, he said, Its principal
industries are sugar, pineapples and
tOurists-all sweet profit He ex-
planned that the tourist industry Ear
ries with it some trials and he found
it necessary to assign one OF his
clerks to handle passports for the
tourists. $50 many tourists arrive In
Hawaii and then change their minds
and decide to tour the Orient that the
government appointed me a passport
agent" He said that as many as
20 passports had been issued by the
special clerk in one day.
While the passport business is an
added gubernat0rial duty, he escapes
much of the grief, So attendant upon
governors of the states, in issuing
extraditicn and honoring reauistion
papers. Criminals do not come to
Hawaii because they can't get away,
and II a crime Is committed in the
islands a quick pelice net is drawn
making escape difficult. II a criminal
reaches a boat, he Is soon discovered
by radio, Governor Polndexter said.
The governor spoke Of the agri-
cultural resources Of the islands and
the part the government was taking
in aiding the industry. On the wind
ward, or "wet" side Of the islands, ir-
rigation Of the cane sugar crops Is not
necessary although the fields are ir-
rig1ted On the dry side. Since little
rain falls In the islands away from
the mountains. irrigation Of the vast
pineapple plantations Is necessary,
Governor P0indexter said.

who pushed their numbering vehicles
across wilderness trails by bull strength
and determination.
He was destined for his profession by
birth and background. For King was
born In Missouri, where the love for
good horseflesh has been inbred for
generations. He came of adventurous
stock and at the tender age Of six &C
companied his father across the plains.
The elder King took pride in being
known as a pixies peak man." His
prairie schooner, drawn by a span of
oxen, was inscribed with a huge sign.
Pixies Peak or Bust"
Wiley King can just remember that
on the return trek from Colorado one
word was painted over the ambitious
challenge. The word was BUST
ED"
Somewhere along the back track the
King caravan fell in with a wagon train
headed for the new bonanza at Vlr-
GINA City. Montana territory was a
long ways off by OK cart but the sire
was set on making his fortune In the
west and he readily accepted an offer
to join the party.
Thus Wiley King vas projected into
the life Of the territory.
About the same time Ben Halliday
the founder and sole owner of the Over
land Stage coaches, got a mail contract
between Salt Lake City and Viringia
City. thus establishing the first stage
line into Montana.
The contract was let early In MAY.
1864, with the provision that Halliday
have the service in operation by July
! or pay a fine Of 500 a day for de-
linquencieS.
This put even the redoubtable Over
land on the spot. 1t was necessary TO
bring the necessary livestock and equip
ment from Leavenworth, Kan, Halla-
days eastern terminal, and this could
MT be done overnight or over a period
Of weeks.
The Cheyennes were beginning to be-
come troublesome and whether the
Montana branch could be established
at all was a matter Of grave speculation.
Halliday gambled IN the courage
and resourcefulness of his western SUI
p~erintendent, Robert j. Spottswood. He
was a gentleman of parts. AS fearless
as a mad bull, he was considered a bet
ter pistol shot than the lamented
George Slade, another Overland man
who made his share of history before
he was hanged by the Vigilantes.
Spottswood had a reputation as an In
dian fighter and few road agents were
willing to tackle a stage on which he
was riding. His name therefore brought
fear in many quarters.
Spottswood moved quickly. He re-
ceived his orders at Latham, Colo, and
started for Leavenworth on the next
stage. In less than a week after his
arrival he had rounded up his outfit.

Almost forgotten in an era OF gaso-
line and high-speed records are the
men who whipped the stage coaches
over danger-infested trails Of ter
~ritorial Montana. OF all the hard
bitten crew who pulled the ribbons
from the day Ben Halliday sent the
first coach rafting into Virginia City
until the railroad superseded the
horse-drawn vehicles, probably not
mere than a dozen survive. One OF
them Is T. w. wiley King Of Myers,
whose proudest boast Is that, despite
his II wears, he is still in the saddle
and able to ride as long and hard as
any of the young fellows with whom
he punched cows
King grew up in Northumberland the

with the drivers who whipped Halla-

line when Gilman and Salisbury OF

Stage drivers were supposed to be
gay, dashing fellows. Romantic writers
have endowed them with all OF the
good qualities OF matinee idols. King
would knock this notion into a cooked
hat.

Theme of the Overture to
"Euryanthe, by Weber.
The concert of the Marine Band
Symphony Orchestra under the
direction of Capt. Taylor BranSon
last night in the auditorium of
the Marine Barracks, opened with
one of the most beautiful works
of Weber, the overture to Fury
anthe."
The reading that Captain
Branson gave this work brought
out the rich and powerful or
chestration which might be COM
pared with any of the operate
overtureS of Mozart. The theme
shown above, with the addition
of an ascending tWo-octave scale
which space did not permit, is
the noble pronouncement of the
violins with a trumpeting back
ground of the brass section.
While the opera "Eurpanthe, !"
from the popular point of view
was never a success, from the
first performance the overture
was received with acclaim and
has remained as a permanent
work in the orchestral repertoire.
The overture contains most of
the best tunes in the opera.
After the powerful opening,
there is a dreamy passage with
the violins muted which swells
with a passion as intense and
warm as anything that Tschaikow.
sky wrote. The concluding sec,
ton is a brilliant and highly
developed ending based on the
more prominent themes heard in
the first part.
Musician Clyde Hall played as
a clarinet solo solo de Concours,"
by Rabaud, with clear tone that
had no trace of the reedy quality.
While his rapidity of execution
was sure and swift, his fingers
when not in use lifted too high,
especially the left thumb, causing
several breaks in changing registers
and interrupting the smooth flow
of fast runs.
The middle A and B flat were
not as clear as other portions of
the registers. Realizing that the
weak point Of the instrument lies
at the change of registers, it be-
hooveS aspiring clarinet Soloists to
spend many hours blowing these
several tones for a full develop
