beneficial to the sugar plant
ers. Last year In Hamakua
there was but six inches OF
rain in six months; this year 1t
starts in a little better. The
ground has been dampened
and the prospects a few days
ago were favorable. If there
is one section of thecountry
that needs rain Hamakua is
the one. There are some tine
plantations in the district and
in the days when the condlt-
ions were favorable and the
rainfall all that could be de-
sired they paid their owners
handsomely. Nowadays the
rain comes from the North
east, salutes the landsman
and then goes on to Hilo.
Forests are known to at
tract the rain clouds and
Hamakua was once blessed
with an abundance of trees.
A few years ago the people
began cutting down the limb
er and before they were stop
ped there was scarcely enough
left to supply lumber for a
cabin. The suffering through
this falls not alone upon the
plantation: the residents IN
the villages must go with a
short supply for toilet pur-
poses and their clothing has
to be sent to Honolulu to be
laundried. We remem Der
that less than a year ago the
fortunate owner of a we'll was
dispensing the water at five
cents a gallon.
Honokaa is a nice little
place and the residents are
progressive enough to be
up with the times; they want
water but they have not yet
hit upon q plan for getting it.
We have canvassed the situa-
ton quite thoroughly and
know that the water from the
spring at the gulch near the
landing can be forced to the
village by simply using a ser:
les of Aermotors. These would
not only pump as great a sup
ply as d steam engine but it
would do it at a very little
cost either for the plant in the
beginning or in maintaining 1t
afterward. The AermOtOr con-
sumes no fuel, just a little tree
air and the water flows like
water. The 16 foot Aermotor,
either pumping or geared is IN
use in several public and pri'
vate institutions, as we'll as on
plantations and it has always
given satisfaction. The only
power used by the Water
Works Co., of Waimea, Kauai
is a 16 foot Aermotor. The
promoters of the scheme
have no trouble in collecting
their water rates because they
give the consumers an abund
: ance of water. There are
plenty of villages on the isl
ands that could be supplied il
: the same way and as long a.
the we'll or stream lasted Their,
would be no danger of RUM

When folks drink more Hires
Rootbeer than all other rootbeers
combined, there must be something
in Hires, and there is-delicious
flavor and public confidence.
Undoubtedly the reason of the
popularity of Hires Rootbeer is, be-
cause it surpasses all other prepara-
tons for making delightful home
beverage. 1t is very easily prepared,
and if the plain directions are fol-
lowed, it will always be good.
Every member of the family, from
the baby to the grandfather, can
enjoy this excellent summer drink.
Children especially delight in Hires
Rootbeer. It's preparation interests
them, and its use does them good.
In thousands of homes, Hires Root
| beer that mother made" will be
among the happiest recollectlons of
childhood.
What others say will carry con-
viction:
| A DOCTOR IS SURPRISED WITH THE RESULTS.

This is typical weather for root
beer drinking. Drink all the othe
beverages and you will die of disap-
pointment if you don't try Hires.
Just sample some once when right
" made, and we know the result
you will endorse Hires.
It is doing more to advance practi
cal temperance than many peopl
realize. It is used and recommends
by the most cautious and con

They Get q Bargain.

Sioux Falls people are congratulating
themselves on the purchase by the Amerl-
can Cereal company OF the Queen Bee
mill in that city. Many other towns
were Offering bonuses to have the cereal
company locate there and the reason
why Sioux Falls captured the prize with
a So 900 bonus against several $4,000
bonuses is on account OF the great snap
which the cereal company had. The
mill cost trife over $450,0OO as it
stands now. The company will expend
from $25, 900 to $50, 900 in changes, and
will then have $45O,O00 worth Of prop
erty for about $4,000. The officers OF
the company who negotiated the deal
say that when the mill is run to its full
est capacity, as it will be soon, between
500 and 900 hands will be employed.
This means good deal for a city the
size OF Sioux Falls.

A Queer Beast.

A heller belonging to d. \. Blair gave
birth to an eight legged cali recently ful-
ly developed Unfortunately the coli was
killed it taking it from the mother. DR..
Blair took the carcass to Brookings and
presented it to the agricultural college,
and NJ. D. Orphans dressed it, finding
two sets OF lvers, one heart and that
the other internal organs We're single.
Judging from the formation OF the head
there were two sets OF brains. The hind
legs and one front leg are regularly iorm-
ed. The other five legs are improperly
grown, although one OF the other three
front legs is in proper position, two OF
them are grown out from the breast
bone. The extra hind legs are attached
TO the body by skin growth only, though
they are connected together by bone
growth and protrude from the BODY
about hall way between the front ana
hind legs. The cali is female and there
are two sets OF excretory organs, two
udders and two complete sets OF nipples.
The carcass will be placed in the hands
of a taxidermist and when mounted VIII
be placed on exhibition at the college IN
Brookjngs.

Available In Case of War.

A statement has been prepared at
the navy department showing the num-
Der Of merchant vessels available for
naval service in case Of war, either as
transports or rs cruisers. There are at
present on the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts eighty merchant vessels that
could be used as transports and slight
ly over half this number that could be
fitted up with light batteries and do
effective duty as cruisers. Most Of
these ships are located on the Atlantic
coast. the Pacific coast having CON-
paratively few vessels that could be
used by the government IN any emer-
gency. Subsidies are granted the own
crs of the vessels inspected for this pur-
pose When the inspection is conclud-
cd the vessel is rated as belonging to
either the cruiser class or one Of the
four classes of transports. 1t is esti-
mated that in case Of war the United
States could send an immense force
to any foreign country on board these
vessels. At least 100000 men could go
on the transports alone, and the cruis-
ers could also carry a large number
as their size in many cases is much
greater than that of any of the trans
ports. Washington Star.
