IS GREAT SPORT
OFF HONOLULU
HONOLULU, June 26 (by mail).—
Using the entire carcass of a horse
for bait, a Honolulu sportsman went
fishing recently in a power boat, and
returned with a fish weighing 2,500
pounds, and measuring almost twenty
feet from tip to tip—the largest shark
killed in Hawaiian waters for many
years.
Shark fishing, or rather hunting, as
it is conducted in Hawaii, is a thrill
ing sport, not entirely lacking in dan
ger to the hunter. In fact, a death
battle with a harpooned shark, ac
cording to big game hunters, is about
as safe as a midnight combat with a
hungry tiger. Sharks in their death
throes have been known to attack
the boat, and with their powerful rows
of serrated teeth to rip great sections
from the sides.
The shark hunter first obtains a dead
horse, and if it has been dead for a
week, so much the better. The power
boat tows the carcass outside the har
bor and the hunt is on. Sharks at
tracted by the odor of the bait gather
in large numbers and soon begin strik
ing at the carcass, ripping huge chunks
of flesh from it. At this stage the
hunter endeavors to work his boat
near enough to permit a shot with a
harpoon. Once securely harpooned, a
big shark will fight for hours before
succumbing.
Recently in Hawaii shark hunting
has been placed on a commercial ba
sis, and the development of a big in
dustry is forecast. Shark fins are
deemed a great delicacy by Orientals,
and dried shark meat has found a
ready market. The canning of shark
meat is being considered. Shark liv
ers yield a valuable oil.
SAYS MEXICAN TRADE
WITH UNITED STATES
WILL BE BIG ITEM
DENVER, July 25 (by Associated
Press).—Mexico’s trade with the
United States will amount to one bil
lion dollars a year when normal con
ditions are restored south of the Rio
Grande, according to A. J. Ortiz, con
sul for Mexico at Denver, with juris
diction over Colorado, Montana and
Wyoming. Mr. Ortiz, who is a native
born American citizen of Spanish an
cestry, has been in the consular serv
ice here for eighteen years, during
which time he has made a close study
of the trade relations between the two
countries.
“Fully fifty thousand Mexicans have
entered the United States during the
last two years,” said Mr. Ortiz. “Many
of them have returned to their native
land; many more intend to do so even
tually. When these immigrants repa
triate themselves they will carry with
them some of the American standards
of living. They will want American
goods to satisfy these new standards;
they will spread similar tastes to their
fellow-countrymen; and the United
States will have a trade monopoly of
immense value.
“Mexico already is entering upon
her period of reconstruction. She
« ----
needs steel for her railroads, machin
ery for her mines and agricultural im
plements for her farms. Already a
number of friendly manufacturers
have established branch factories in
Mexico.
“Unfortunately, political conditions
below the border are still such as to
retard the economic development of
Mexico. But I am confident that the
period of readjustment is at hand,
and that conditions will soon be sta
bilized. When that time comes Amer
ica will see that there is no antagon
ism against her on the part of any
classes in Mexico.”
SPREAD OF ANARCHY
IS MENACING JAPAN
TOKIO, June 10 (Correspondence of
Associated Press).—The increasing
tendency of the Japanese workers to
assert their rights and to interest
themselves in socialism is causing
leading Japanese tq study the means
of meeting this labor problem. It is
pointed out that strikes are increasing
and that as Japanese labor has no or
ganized voice, the strikes are liable to
lead to dangerous violence, as in the
case of the rice riots last year.
The Herald of Asia says that there
is a considerable element affected by
socialist theories, but that owing to
the severe repression imposed by the
authorities there is no means of know
ing how far socialism has spread. The
journal adds: “That the bacteria ex
ists here there is no doubt. It is kept
under so far, but it smoulders, ready
to break out on occasion. If socialism
can not legitimately raise its head,
then it will try to do so illicitly, and
the result is Bolshevism and anarchy.”
The journal recommends immediate
and effective improvement of labor
conditions in line with the suggestions
of the League of Nations, political and
educational reform, the elimination of
bureaucratic methods and a true res
toration of the ideal of democracy.

He is an old timer—been in Alaska for 21

i was visiting the Goodrich Factory and we
asked him, of course, if he ever used our
Goodrich “Hi-Press” Boots and Shoes ■
while he was up there, and he said—
“Say, those are some shoes you people make. , ,
Why, I remember one time when my part
ner and I went over the hills and I wore a
pair of your Goodrich White Pacs. He
didn’t! And he wore out six pairs before
we got back—I still wore my first pair.”
