Commendable Enterprise.
Among tbe many enterprising citi

enterprise than Judge Mays. Although

still has confidence in the future of

and water. He will, as soon as the
debris can be removed and the ground
cleared, begin erecting an elegant two
story brick 100x100 feet on the former
site of Mays & Crowe's hardware store

OLD GLORY
. WAVES PROUDLY
Celebration of Annexa
tion at Honolulu.
San Francisco, August 22. The
steamer Belgic this evening brought
the following:
In onolulu, Aug. 12. Precisely at
eight minutes to 12 o'clock today the
Hawaiion flag descended from the flag'
str.ffs on all the government buildings.
and at exactlv at five minutes to the
same hour, the Stars and stripes float
ed on the tropical breeze from every
official flagstaff.
The ceremony of today was a most
impressive one. To hear the strains
of "Hawaii Ponoi" for the last time,
as a national anthem, to hear the bu
gle blow taps as the Hawaiian ensign
sank from its position, and to notice
the emotion of many who had been
born under it and had lived their lives
under it, was solemn. But then came
the bright call for raising Old Glory,
and the strains of the "Star-Spangled
Banner" broke forth as that banner
was unfurled to the breeze.
Then the cheers broke forth, and
eyes vmich had been dim for a few
moments became bright and lightened
up when the Stars and Stripes blew out.
The picture presented in and around
the extensive building was most strik
ing. In the grounds and around all
the approaches were crowds of on
lookers of every station of a varied
nationality. Notably remarkable waa
the number of Hawaiians. Within
the grounds the military and naval
display was fine. Hawaiian troops,
United States marines, the mounted
patrol, the police and the citizens'
guard preseo ted a Bplendid appearance,
while the platform for the exercises
and the verandas of the executive j
building were gay with brilliant sum
mer dresses, dancing feathers and rib
bons and tbe brightest faces that Hono
lulu possessed. The uniform of staff
and navy offloers added brightness to
the scene. A line of these stalwart, !
well dressed men, stretched across the
first step from the veranda and made
a distinctive mark in a massive group
ing, which was in itself worthy of
special notice. The weather was for
tunately propitious. The breeze came
down Nuanu valley pleasantly and
made the noble flags stream out in all
their beauty.
THE FORMAL CEREMONIES.
The ceremonies opened with prayer
by Re. G. L. Pearson, pastor of the
First Methodist church, of this city.
United States Minister Sewall then
rose, and adressing President Dole,
who had risen, presented hfm a cer
tified copy of the joint resolution of
congress annexing the Hawaiian is
lands to the United States.
President Dole answered acknow
ledging the making of the treaty of
political union, and formally yeilded
to Minister Sewell, as a representative
of the government of the United
States, the sovereignity and public
property of the Hawaiian islands.
Mr, Sewall replied:
"Mr. President: In the name of the
United States, I accept the transfer of
the sovereignty and property of the
Hawaiian government. The admiral
commanding the United States naval
forces in these waters will proceed to
perform the duty entrusted to him."
GEOLOGY
OF THE KLONDIKE.
How the RlTera Are
Chanartmv the
Country.
A recent explorer in a part of Alaska
as far removed from the newly-disoov
ered Klondike region as Washington ia
from Boston has said: "That country
is one-half made; the glaciers are slow
ly doing the work, the mountains are
smoking and tbe rivers are vomiting out
quantities of quicksand." What is true
of the Cook's Inlet country of southern
Alaska is also true, in a measure, of the
valley of the Yukon. There are, how
ever, some differences. In the region of
the gold eiis there aTe no glaciers.
Active volcanoes, too, are so far away
that it is only by the occasional reports
of Indians or prospectors who "haye
made a longer trip than usual that
their existence is known. And yet one
pan see, through all the valley of that
great river of the north, aboundant
evidences of the unformed character
the country.
The one thing which strikes the trav
eler, be he 1j. ian or geologist, is the,
immense an:o...:t of work which the
streams are pcr.'orr:' The Lewes

From the raoinent of entering the Lewes

is never absent. A truly enormous

The Bob White Qua
In the spring of 1897 those who were
interested in establishing the Bob
White Quail sent for a large number
and ten dozen were received and they
were placed on Mill Creek about a
mile and a naif below town, says the
Walla Walla Statesman. They
have now scattered from the Touchet
to the Yellowhawk, and their clear
Bob White" notes can be heard
every day. One gentleman the other
day found a nest of about 12 or 14
young ones.'"" Reports have been re
ceived from all directions' and -they
have multiplied in good shape, and W
the pot hunter can be prevailed on to
keep his hands off these splendid
birds until they have been well
established, they will furnish good
sport to local nimrods. No one is
permitted by law to kill any of these
birds until October 1900, and Game
Warden Justice offers a personal re
ward of 83.00 to anyone who will give
conclusive evidence of anv one hav
ing killed any. It will be remem
bered that those who furnish the in
formation gets half of the fine besides.
The E. O. Insane A aylam.
A Salem press dispatch says:
The status of the 925,000 warrant
issued in payment for a branch asylum
site in Eastern Oregon, yet to be de
termined by the state treasurer, iea
subject of interest to lawyers here.
The supreme court rendered an opinion
holding that the treasurer should be
perpetually enjoined from paying it,
Upon request of counsel for tbe
holders of the warrant, the cause was
remanded to allow the filing of an
answer. The lower court accepted
stipulations and made an order author
izing the payment of the warrant.
State Treasurer Metschan has not yet
passed on the matter. It is held by
some that he will not be warranted in
taking up the paper while the supreme
court decision stands unreserved, not
withstanding the order of the lower
court. The warrant and interest
amount to about 933,000.
Kor Marking Sheep.
An authority says that, to make an
indelible marking ink for sheep use
shellac, 2 ounces; borax, 2 ounces:
water, 23 ounces; gum arable, 2 ounces
and lamp black. Boil the borax and
shellac in water until they are die
solved, and withdraw from the fire.
When the solution has become cold,
add water to make 25 ounces and lamp
black enough to bring the preparation
to a suitable consistency. When it ia
to be used with a stencil it must be
made thicker- than when it is applied
witn, brusn, l his formula gives a
black ink, for red ink substitute
venetain red for lampblack.

PASSING OF LORD FAUNTLEROY.
rhe Mother Tried to Be Bravo Wfcea
the Golden Carls Fell.
The scene waa in a Jfinth street bar
ker shop and the time waa a morning
earlier in the week. The "toneorial art
ist" nearest the door had just called out
"Next!" when there untered a very
pretty young woman leading by the
hand a four-year-old boy, with long,
golden ringlets. He was a manly look
ing little fellow, and his hair was just
the shade of the young woman's, al
though she looked almost too young to
be his mother.
"Are you the man who cut this little
boy's bangs last time?" she asked.
"Yes'm; want 'em cut again?"
"jS'o, not this time. I want his hair
cut short all over. And won't you try
to cut each curl off separately, for 1
want to send some of them out of town
and one to his grandmother."
She had a pasteboard box in her hand
in which to take away the gold that was
more precious to her than any that has
come front Klondike. She said she
wanted the little boy's hair cut. It was
probably the lad's father who wanted
it ; she had only acquiesced.
Several of the ebony-hued artists
gathered around to watch, while the
lad took his seat in a big chair, as proud
as Punch, for he was to be a "mother's
little Lordy Fauntleroy" no longer. He
smiled, but there was a suspicious
tremor about his mauler's lips as she
took a brush, and for the last time
curled his beautiful ringlets about her
slim and tapering finger.
Snip, snip! went the scissors, and one
by one the curls were carefully laid
away in the box. Before the last one
was gone the young mother was hud
dled up in the bootblack's chair crying
as if her heart would break. There was
no doubt now that she waa the child'h
mother. He waa a baby no longer. It
was much, more comforatbie for the
chiVlt and it was time it was done, and
alt that, but just the same lie would
never be mamma's little baby again,
and she could not see the wealth ot
falling gold for the tears in her eyes
Not a man in the place smiled, and
even the "Shine, mister," seemed to see
a bit of pathos in the scene. The barber
over in the corner bad to stop a mo
ment while thewan he was shaving-wiped
a sudden tear from his own eye. Tbe
nian, gray -haired and somewhat crusty,
was thinking of a lock of gold tucked
away in the back of his desk in a busy
downtown office, and his memory had
gone back to the time when he tucked
that strand beneath, bis bine soldier's
blouse and with musket on- his shoulder
ud started for tbe front. . ..
