Have just returned from a week's stay at one of the big plantations, sixty miles from Honolulu. The train follows the otWn beach, and often it jumps around the base of towering rocks between waves, just like a child playing on the shore. It is very interesting and awe in spiring when a wave dashes against the car windows. Then the thou-1 sands of acres of green sugar cane on lowlands and on the bills seem to be challenging Old Pacific for supremacy. Hundreds of acres ot of rice being cultivated by aid of the water buffalo. You pass through many Japanese villages, miles of cocoauuts, pine apples and all kinds ot tropical fruits. The same varie ty are never seen on the mainland, as they will not ship Ihaveeaten delicious fruits of which I had never seen or heard until coming to VVaia lua plantation. The names of the stations euroute I never can remein ber, for the pronunciation is beyond me. The large Lua plantation and mill is pronounced Kva. YVailulu plantation, my destination, covers 1 0,000 acres. They employ 3,000 Japs, 1,000 mixed nationalities and about 100 white men. There is thirty miles of railroad on the plan tation work night and day at the mill. Often I wondered how lone that handful of whites would last if the Japs turned loose. Life on a big plantation is not so bad. The white tamilies have beautiful homes, automobiles, carriages and riding horses. Kveryone is healthy. They are very sociable with one another and time never drags. They get good wages and live well. Idid not seem so far away from Mrs. Fred Williams, whom I was visiting, was formerly Miss Florence Kllis, of Marshfield. Another guest at her home was Mrs. Sophia Mellis, the widow of Alfred Mellis, formerly of Portland. We three spent a day on the same plantation with Mrs. George Crookshank, a sister of William Rettie of Fossil. Ore., and on Sunday Rev. Edward Potwine, for so mauy years pastor of the Episcopal church at Pendleton, preached at Wailulu. He has been joy the bathing and surf canoeing, which is a great sport here, espe cially among the native. As for myself, I enjoy the horse-back rid ing over the hills, through deep forest of lieautiful ferns, along the beach "and among fields of waving cane. The view from the hills is beyond description. One great ad vantage here in riding or tramping is, there is no poisonous bug or snakes of any kind. A showman once brought a snake here, and the authorities immediately purchased and killled it. I wish the Hillsboro school chil dren could see the thousands ol beautifully colored fish ol the most wonderful shapes. To visit the fish markets here in early morning is one of the sights of Honolulu. They have the flying fish here in the tropics and are seen when you are out 111 the steamer. They re se ruble a flock of birds skipping over the water. Ou,Seplember 4 I leave Hono lulu with the nine Hawaiian young ladies w ho 'are on a pleasure trip to the Pacific Coast. They are col lege girls, good musicians and fine singers Two of the girls are teachers here. I will take them to Hillsboro for a part of a day and am sure my friends there will give them a cordial welcome. One young lady, Miss Todd, was born and raised on the isle of Hawaii, right near Capt. Cook's monument. The older Hawawaiians never felt kindly toward Capt. Cook because he discovered the Islands. We will go to Forest iGrove and visit Pacific University. We expect to reach Portland about September 22. There is many interesting things to tell concerning these Islands, In my 'next letter I will tell ol my visit to the greatest active volcano in the world. Edyth Tozikr Wbatherrko.

On May 23, 1007, Eugene Pal mer aud Cyrus II. Walker present ed to the secretary of state petitions demanding that this act be referred to a vote of the people. The secretary of state refused to file the petition because the "warn ing clause" had been omitted and because it did not contain a full and correct copy of the title of the act Mandamus proceedings were brought and Judge Galloway held that the petition was fatally defec tive and need not be filed. The supreme court, in an opinion by Justice Eakiu, has reversed this, holdiug that the requirements had been substantially complied with. The University of Oregon appro priation bill therefore will not go into effect until it has been apptved by an affirmative vote of the peo ple.

The Y. M. C. A. hall at Portland was crowded to the doors last Sun day nik'ht by persons anxious to hear Rev.f Hiram Vrooman's ad dress on "Our Possible War With Japan." Iu part the speaker said: "The rumors of our possible war with Japan are of such a character as to challetiKe the serious attention of every thoughtful citizen ot our country, a'l especially every one of the Pacific coast. "The hour is at hand for us to awaken to a realization ol our dan ger and to begin at once upon pre cautionary and defensive measures, some of which it is the purpose of this address to set forth. "But before considering measures of precaution and defense 'let us take a look at the situation. The situation presents, first, some things that are plainly manifest; second, some things that are highly proba ble; third, some things that are al together possible, and, fourth and last, but not least, things whose seeming impossibility cannot be proved. These things whose seem ing impossibility we cannot prove must be in a measure portentious until this proof is secured. We will consider these things tn their order. First The thing unmistakably manifest is that Japan is concentra ting the entirety of her powers as a nation in carrying forward some well-planned and far-reaching stra tegic movement ujrAcu, probably, is no less, ambitious than to secure permanent military control of the Pacific. The rapidity ol her pro gress on the Pacific, si,iCe her vie tory over Russia, i, in ratio with the rapidity of her rise as a nation since the time, but a few years ago when it first occurred to her to be come a world p.iwer. And her rise as a nation stands out unprecedent ed among all the nations during all the ages. The pace of her progress on the Pacific right now is far more rapid than that of the United States. 1 "Second The highly probable thing is that, for economic and com mercial advantages and for secur ing relief to her home congestion of population and for the sake of pres tige, Japan is seeking aggressively to increase, as rapidly as possible, the influx of her own people into our Tacific coast states. "Third An altogether possible thing is that, in addition to secur ing economic and commercial ad vantages and relief to her home congestion of population and great er prestige as a nation, she is en conragiag her own people to come here as rapidly as possible for the sake of military advantages. "Japan is providing for invalua ble assistance to her cause, in the possible event of war with us, at any time soon or in the distant fu ture, by establishing her own peo ple in our states. This is true be cause we could never expect of any Japanese, whether he became a nat uralized citien of this country or not, to sympathize with this coun try or not, posed to Japan. But, on the contrary, we would always expect him to remler any service to Japan that migbt le possible in time of war. "It there should ever be war be tween the United States and Japan there would be on our shores in ad vance ot hostilities what would be practically equivalent to as many Japanese soldiers as there are Jap anese in onr miJt. "Fourth The thing which has not yet been proved to be impossi ble is the successlul carrying out o( a particular stratagem on the part of Japan by which she would be in possession of the Pacific coast cities of America, holding the people of Portland, San I'micisco. Los Ange les, Seattle and other lare cities as hostages of war aud seizing, as the prize of war, all property other than real estate, btiore J.e American fleet of war vessels arrives this side of Cape Horn next spring. The tact that we do not know that such a strategic coup for them and cal amity lor us is impossible is in it sell portentious. Atul if it should be among the possible thiugs we may be sure that Japan knows it. 'The precautionary ami defen sive measures which I present here with, without hesitancy, as being amply justified by the facts of the situatiou, are three in number: First A public opinion should at once be created or such a virile character as to prevent our own people from giving employment of any kind to any Japanese. This would establish an economic condi tion which would, by perfectly peaceable methods, make it impos sible for any large number of Jap anese to remain in our midst. They cannot remain where they canuot find renumerative employment witlf- out being supported by their own government. And their govern ment would support none who were here for any other reasons than mil itary. I should like to see public opinion so strong in regard to this matter that any man or woman giv ing employment to a Japanese would be considered as unfriendly to the public good and boycotted out of business and social standing. "Second A private detective agency snould ojerate under the auspices of a citizens' organization for the purpose of ascertaining the number of Japanese in the different cities and states, where they reside, what they do and other desirable information. 'Third A rifle with plenty Of ammunition should forthwith be in every nouse where there is a man capable of handling a gum This alone would prevent any possible sudden uprising on the part of the Japanese in our midst, leca use the success of any sudden attack would depend upon their blowing up our armories and powder magazines and conironting an unarmed people. "There is one other precaution which should be taken to give ef fectiveness to these three special ones. It is that public opinion should not tolerate even the slight est unlawful acts of violence toward any Japanese. Every personal in sult or act of discourtesy on the part of any one toward a Japanese should be punished summarily and to the full limit of the law. The same rightequs and patriotic indig nation which boycotts the man giv ing employment to a Japanese should punish without mercy the man who without ample cause, does personal harm to any Japan ese. The relation between us as individuals should be that of friend ship." STAMPING OUT THE DISEASE SUPPLIES VACCINE FREE. Further Improvement of Conditions Western Rsnges--Loss of Stock Reduced. on Washington, Sept. 11. Further evidence of the government's con cern over the improvement of range conditions in the National Forests is shown in the announcement just made that rtock owners will be fur nished free of charge supplies of vaccine for the treatment of stock afflicted with black leg, tuberculo sis aud other animal diseases. This arrangement has been made by the Forest 'Service with Dr. A. D. Mel vin, chief of the Bureau ot Animal Industry. ' Stockmen holding permits for grazing in the National Forests will now be furnished with an ef fective means of combatting with out cost all of the most dangerous diseases to which stock is subject. The vaccine can be obtained simply by applying to the supervisor of the Forest upon which the stock is grazed who will at once forward the approved request to the Bureau of Animal Industry where it will be filled. Full directions will be fur nished for its use. The Forest Service and the Bur eau of Animal Industry are work- ing hard in an endeavor to eradi cate or diminish the common forms of stock disease found on the wes tern ranges and their efforts are meeting with much success. It is anticipated that a large number of stockmen will avail themselves of this latest offer of assistance And as a result the loss of stock will be greatly reduced and tangs condi Hons improved. The county cruisers of Washing ton county, Oregon, have finished their work and the estimate for tax ation purposes amounts to 64, 500, 000, appoxiraately, or over a fourth of the entire roll of the county.
