LINDSAY, The Jeweler
iSie DOUGLAS STREET,
T A IX depend upon the weather,"
aid U. J. Penfold, who haa to get
tha money for the king's annual
pageant and carnival. "If tha
weather la rood, or rood moat
or the time, we will come out with every'
penny of debts paid. And In' the Milan of
all the preceding twelve kings tha weather
haa never been ao bad that our balance
waa mad on the wrong aide of tha ledger."
The mortgage of 2,0ii0 on the den waa
paid, with Interest, last July and Vow
no debt rests on the kingdom of Quivers,
But Samson must pay out $6,000 for the
fall festivities before ever a cent comes
in. Me must pay out S3.6U0 alone for the
fence which surrounds the oarnlval grounds.
Therefore, each day he earnestly consults
Colonel Welch, the sky reader, to learn
of any storms are brewing around Medi
cine Hat.
"The, organization haa done remarkably
well." said Mr. Penfold. "In 1904 we bought
the den at a price of $11,600. We have
since paid off the mortgage we placed on
It and have spent $2,800 in Improvements.
"To the den we largely owe our suc
oess. The other mot potent factor toward
success haa been the carnival, which haa
been held for Sevan years now. Outside
of the den, there Is no building In the
city large enough for the lnltiatlona and
the manufacture of the floats, except the
Auditorium, and It has to be used for
other things. Only in the den could we
have accommodated such a crowd as we
had Wednesday night at the last Initiation
of the season, or Monday night, when
Governor Bheldon was here. Without the
den we never would have had as large
membership. In my travels east and west
I have seen no organization of similar na
ture as well equipped In this respect as
we are.
"The carnival Is expected to make up the
deficit on parade, for never do the sub
scriptions of the business men for tha
parades equal the expenses of the pageants.
If the Board of Governors had to ills all
the money for the parades out of the
publlo I'm afraid Ak-Sar-Ben's celebrations
would languish.
"Look over the reports for the last two
years and you will find the receipts of the
carnival each year have been approxi
mately $20,000. while the expenses of the
carnival haye been $10,000, leaving the snug
sum of $10,000 to apply on other expenses.
Look over the reports for the other years
since the carnival came Into existence and
you will And that the profits on the carni
val are enough to make un for the Aeflcit
In the parade fund. So you see the carni
val is the main thing, from the standpoint
of the treasury.
''Our biggest year was 19fl4. vhm tha
membership was 8,160 and total receipts
between $53,000 and $53,000. Our biggest
proflt was in 1903. when we had 11 Mm left
to start the next year. The lightest year.
ir I remember correctly, was 1897, when we
bad only 609 members and receipts were
something over $18,000. That was before
we had the carnival. The least profit was
made In 1906, when we had $11.6!) left after
debts were Dald. Still. It wna nn. r th.
most successful years In the history of
the organization, for It Is not the purcosa
to make money."

TURNING THE COOLIE TIDE
Honolnl. Hotel Keepers) Know a
Good Thins; and Fuss, It to
tb.e Limit.
Under the amendment to the Immigration
law passed by the United States congress.
It Is now Impossible for Japanese Immi
grants to go from the Hawaiian Islands
to the American mainland unless they have
passports Issued by the Japanese govern
ment. These "through" passports are not
now being Issued by that government.
The result of this Is that the stream of
Japanese coolie laborers, which only a
short time ago had been passing through
Honolulu to the cities on the Pacific coast
of the United Slates, waa bottled up In
that place, and no outlet for It was appar
ent There are many thousands of these
coolies In the Hawaiian islands, and each
steamer from the orient adds to the number.
No people were more concerned about
the financial results of the United States
government shutting down on the immi
gration of the Japanese into the American
mainland than the Japanese hotel and
boarding house keepers. In Honolulu. They
have made much money out of the crowds
of Japanese passing through, but their
business success depended on their keeping
the stream moving In and out, and the
United States government's action caused
congestion and left them to deal with the
situation presented by thousands of Immi
grants Into Honolulu and no emlgratiou
possible.
These hotel keepers are well organised
and they applied themselves to the prob
lem, on the solution of which their busi
ness depended for success. A combination
was effected between their organization
and some Honolulu lawyers, and the emi
gration of the Japanese to Canada was
decided on. Even In tha Hawaiian Is
lands themselves the influx of Japanese haa
been so great that they have practically
controlled the Industrial situation and the
large employers of labor have therefore
found It necessary to offset tilts Japanese
predominance.
This haa been done by bringing large
numbers of European Immigrants from
Spain and Portugal and giving them homes
and employment on the sugar plantations.
It Is said that hundreds of thousands of
dollars have been expended In this move
ment. It will be seen, therefore, that even In
the labor market in the islands the new
arrivals from Japan found no opportunity
for employment, and those who were con
cerned In their ability to make a liveli
hood were greatly perplexed. Canada
seemed to offer the only outlet for this
mass of unemployed humanity and It was
decided to utilise It to the fullest extent
that was possible. The tales of high wages
and ample employment, together with
oilier opportunities for Industrious and
energetlo immigrants which has been told
about the United States were now uaad
In the same way In regard to Canada.
It Is not surprising that these hotel keep
ers were eager to prevent the collapse
of this continental Immigration and emigra
tion of Japanese In the Hawaiian Islands.
They Slay there a few weeks, lining the
pockets of their .hosts, and then go on,
to be replaced by thousands more of their
countrymen. Only lack of transportation
from the islands prevented the scheme
being developed sooner, and it Is estimated
that from 1.U0 to 1.600 coolies a month
oould be dumped Into Canada without diffi
culty, a soon as a steamer oould be m

DEAF TAUGHT TO TALK
Afflicted Children la Philadelphia '
Have Worked Six Year
for Speech.
Transformed from delicate deaf mutes
to healthy, happy talkative enlldren, nine 1
graduates of the Home for the Training ;
In Speech of Deaf Children Before They ;
Are of School Age, will be among the
great army of youngsters to enter the !
public schools of Philadelphia this fall. :
Tears ago it would be called a miracle
to make a deaf and dumb child talk, yet
I In these days of development the teachers '
of the institution which was founded by
Miss Emma and Mlus Mary S. Garrett
are doing just this very thing, and they
are going about it without medical jour
nals and scientists ever noticing the re
markable work they have accom- :
pllshed. !
The children graduated yesterday from '
the home with delightful exercises, and ,
every one of the pupils who was sent
there six years ago as deaf and dumb
had a speaking part In the program. i
i Unless you spoke with the children It J
would be difficult to tell how well thuy
can talk. Miss Garrett allowed the guests
to oonvcrse with the children after the
exercises were over, and when one woman '
asked a little boy 10 years old how he
managed, to talk, he replied, readily:
"I watch your mouth. We are trained
to know what you are saying althougn
we cannot hear. Every muscle of the
face means a sort of tslgnul to us. That I
Is how we can speak with you." 1
i Miss Mary S. Zane, one of the teachers
who drilled the children for the exer
cises, explained how the children are i
tuu;.l.t to speak with their tonUue. She
aid: , .
i-uch pupil must ever watch our !
mouth. We tell them there is no such
thing as a deaf and dumb child, and that i
encourages them ts learn. Of course the
tatk lb tedious, but v.ittiln a few monlliH ,
the pupil can master the silent chord 4 '
In his or her throat, and gradually th;y
are uble to make sound. Then we re
peat syllables over and over to them, mid
tl.ey must repeat them also. Within oue
year the pupil has partial control of the i
tongue and vocal chords, and then nature j
assists them to speak. ; j
"Day by day we talk to them as we do I
, to any normal person, and tiny become '
' so proficient in watching the- fuitnatlon ;
' of our mouth and facial musclus that It
is only a question of a year or two be-
fore they can speak to you so you can ,
understand them. s3y the time they are
ready to graduate, which U six years,
they are prepared for the public schools
even better than most children, for the
training we give them enables them to
know the value of speech, aqi they are !
ever trying to talk better." !
j Officials of the United Sjtalea govern- ;
ment know that the hems' is the only '
one In the world of like Stature, and It ,
is no wonder that Miss Garrett waa sent 1
, as special delegate of tha government Jo
j the international confe nee of teachers
1 of the deaf, held in Ed li burg a, Scotland,
recently. I
'the ambitions of thrAiome, which were
, also explained by Mle Jfaarrett yesterday,
! places the Institutloi wn a class all by
, Itself. Miss Garretrsaw a deaf and
dumb child, as he was called, in his home
