Say Canal Will Mean Hawaiian
Land Boom.
Honolulu, Aug. 24.—Hawa- ■
iian islanders are looking for
ward to a tremendous boom in
the territory following the op
ening of the Panama Canal
From the standpoint of the
great landowners and their bet
ter paid dependents the predic
tion seems to be based on sound
reasoning. In working classes
circles, however, some dissent
ing voices are raised.
The Hawaiian natives, it is
agreed on all hands, except per
haps in native circles, have nev
er made satisfactory laborers.
The Japanese have done tolera
bly well and the Chinese still
better, though they have annoy
ed the landowners by insisting
generally on doing plantation
work on shares rather than for
definitely-fixed wages.
The Chinese exclusion law and
tlin o rrrormiDnf hptwAPH thP1
United States and Japan have
cut off labor supplies from these
two sources, however, with the
result, during the past few
years, that wages have been in
creasing and there has not been
enough of it at any price.
The shortage has been partly
supplied by importations, under
rather thin evasions of the anti
contract labor law, from south
ern Europe and especially from
Portugal. The expense of bring
ing them has been heavy, how
ever, and on their arrival they
have generally insisted on cur
rent wages. The number
brought in has been compara
tively so small that they have
usually carried their point or
approximated it.
The common view is that the
opening of the canal will
cheapen the trip from Europe tc
the islands so much that there
will be a flood of immigration,
with corresponding advantages
to the employers. On the Pacific
coast the unions have been tak
ing steps to meet such an ex
pected situation but here, owing
to the class of workers and the
completeness of the landlord's
domination, unionism has nevei
secured much foothold. Hawa
iian agents already are in Eu
rope, not contracting for work
ers, but pointing out to them the
advantageous conditions they
will find in the territory and the
small cost of the voyage as soon
as the canal is open.
Fire At Dunnington.
Griffith and Pelley’s store at
■ Dunnington was totally destroy
ed by fire Monday night about
10 o’clock.
This was one of the largest
country stores in the county, be
ing situated in the heart of the
fertile Oil Trough valley, the
most prosperous farming sec
tion of the county, and a large
stock of goods was carried.
The building and entire con
tents were a total loss, as prac
tically the entire population of
the little village were attending
the revival meeting at Oil
Trough when the fire broke out.
The total loss on building and
contents is about $8,000, with
$5,000 insurance. It is not
known how the fire originated.

Governor Garland Wanted Laws
Published.
Augustus H. Garland, Arkan
sas’ most revered statesman, be-1
lieved in newspaper publicity,’
and in his message to the legis
lature in 1875, while acting as
governor of the state, he urged
the passage of a bill requiring
the acts of the legislature to be
published in the newspapers, as
now provided in Act No. 3, and
said:
“Behold a world without news
papers! A locomotive without
engineer or steam. A ship with
out sails. A circus without
clov/ns. Neglect and eventually
destroy the press, this old world
will within a single month be
one vast, gigantic bedlam.
Science, business, literature, art
and law would come to a stand
still. Court proceedings, official
performances, railroad time ta
bles, elections, traffic, births,
deafens, marriages and divorces
would speedily tangle into a
knot that a legion of Philadel
phia lawyers could not undo
within the lifetime of a Methu
saleh. Nobody would know any
thing. Everybody would know
nothing. Mercantile establish
ments would be removed—no
body could tell when or where.
Farm swould be sold by mort
gages and trustees, and the hap
less possessor would never know
until his possession was demand
ed. The seeker after religion
would stumble into the little
church around the comer, only
to find that it had been converted
into a first-class doggery. Mer
chants would be nabbed by the
United States officials for violat
ing license and revenue laws oi
which they had never heard
Steamboat departures, home ane
foreign wars, market condition:
and all would be a hopeless, end
less, inextricable jumble. There
would be no advertising—no pub
licity— except i n wretchec
scrawls on the house doors ane
fences, and nobody would evei
know where to find it. Civiliza
tion culminates in the newspape
press.”

Federal Court Reimburses State
Special to Independent.
Little Rok, August 28.—At
torney General Moose has just
secured from Judge Youmans of
Fort Smith, who has charge of
the docket for the Eastern Dis
trict during the absence of
Judge Trieber, an order to re
imburse the state for the money
expended on the Rock Island re
bate case.
The State of Arkansas has
appropriated a total of $65,000
for the expenses of the rate liti
igation, it being understood that
| the state was to be repaid out
of the funds derived from the
! railroads. A compromise was
reached with the Rock Island,
by which it was agreed that the
railroad should pay $100,000 in
■ /-"O'
full settlement of the freight
claims, and $30,000 in inter
changeable mileage in settlement
of the passenger claims. The
state had expended a total of
$3,009.84 in expert accountant
fees, traveling and other neces
sary expenses in connection with
the Rock Island cases.
The attorney general inter- 1
vened in the case at Fort Smith, :
and Judge Youmans granted
him an order on the Arkansas
Railroad Commission for the
full amount of his claim. The
Commission is directed to with
hold $3,009.84 from the money
paid by the Railroad company
next Tuesday, September 1,
which will be $100,000 with in
terest at the rate of 6 per cent
from May 4, the date of the
compromise. The balance is to
be distributed pro-rata among
the claimants, who are to be
notified that the money to pay
the state has been withheld, and
that they will be given an oppor
tunity to protest until October
5, and show cause why the state
should not be reimbursed out of
the funds. It is not believed
there will be any objection rais
ed by any one, as it probably
would not have been gotten at
all had not the state come to the
assistance of the shippers in
fighting the cases through the
courts. The money is
in prosecuting other
cases.
