Problem Reading and Sorting a Database

I am having trouble reading and sorting  my work ( It seems that i am having problem with the private String Pad and Proper functions( ) . Here is the code...) The database(weather.mdb) file can be read by access although i could not convert because  of the absence of  Microsoft access in my system. Attached also is the sample output  stations.txt and raw weather.mdb file....

import java.sql.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.Scanner;

Sample STATIONS.TXT file
YKM Yakima Air Terminal/Mcal Yakima      WA
SBA Santa Barbara Muni Airpo Santa Barba CA
SFO San Francisco Internatio San Francis CA
AST Astoria Regional Airport Astoria     OR
IMB Kimberly Station         Kimberly    OR
... etc (however, you need to sort by City)
