Fine growing weather.
Road work is most all done here and
many improvements have been made

Rumor has it that Rev. Randall will

A lot OF land is being cleared off in
Fremont this summer and in place OF
scrub and brush, rich fields of waving
grain can be seen everywhere. In but a
very short time now the entire township

School election, like all other elections
we hold promises to be shot time"
Considerable opposition will be in the
field, we understand politics, or at least
what some OF the erudite residents OF
our pacific town indulge in occasionally,
has evidently got SO deeply imprsgnated
in their minds, that they appear to be SO
deeply absorbed over a school election
that no possible time can be found on a
week day to hold caucus and a meet
ing had to be held Sunday afternoon at
the Venville school house for the purpose
of nominating men of their choice. The
leaders OF this gathering are supposed to
be men OF rare intelligence and are look
ed up to by many as examples. We feel
that many will agree with US that if a
caucus is necessary why not come right
out and announce that public caucus
will be held on week day and not get
few together on Sunday afternoon,
which not only insults the dignity of the
town, but violates one OF thu laws of
our country. And yet these same people
are DESTROYS of nominating men to en-
force the school laws, but such methods
do not produce the quality of office
holders required to have charge of such
delicate Issue as the administration of
local school government.

PAT CURTIS OUT OF SORTS
WAS GOING TO THE KLONDIKE on
A GRUG STAKE.
His Backers Fail to Show Up With
the Coin-Woolen Socks and Ear
Muffs on Hand
Pat Curtis is. on the warpath.

Pat Curtis is on the warpath.
He had planned to go into the Klon-
dixie country on grub stake, but at
the time it came for his hackers to dig
up they failed to put in an appearance.
Now Pat has got on his hands any
quantity of furs, wooden socks, ear
muffs, mittens and patent food done
up in pellits.
The much disappointed man came
into The Star Office this morning. He
was far from being in the best of hui
NOR. "Ye must tell de people dat I'm
not going to de Klondike." he broke
in. chat Peterson gang promised me
1000 to send me off. and here 7 had
me heart set upon it. I don't like the
way they treated me. not one bit. It's
upsit me plans and don't know where
I'm at"
Tt seems from Pats story that he
had been promised 81 900. which would
take him into the Klondike. He was
to prospect and share his digging
with his hackers. Pat says that he
has had experience in mining, and he
is confident that he can find his fort
une if he could set foot in the far nor
them country. Here is chance for
any capitalist who has faith in the
Klondilte and Pats mining proclivi-
ties.

They are
Reliable.

Saturday evening, January 20, a
party of eight left the city for trip
around the Islands on bicycles. The
list was made up of some of the lead
ing wheels represented here, among
them '97 Overland Special, which is
handled here by the HONOLULU b.
CYCLE COMPANY. The Overland was
the Only Wheel in the Lot which
made the round trip without trouble
of any kind. OVERLANDS are the
kind of wheels that take you Away
from home and Bring You Back Again.
BY the last Australia we received a
few samples of the '9s OVERLANDS.
They are as much superior to the '97
product as daylight is superior to
darkness, and are without exception
the most beautiful models, and the
highest grade wheels ever shown here
for anything near the price which we
shall sell them-$65. We defy all CON-
petition, even at much higher fig
ure.

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen.
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the Office of the Electric Company and said
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once; no more lamps for me.
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you wall.
We have a complete stock Of everything in
this line and have just received a lot Of the
very latest designs in chandeliers.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Tax Payer and Patron" Against Their
bulishment.

Tax Payer and Patron" Against Their
bolishment.
EDITOR NEWS: Please allow me space
in your valuable columns to say a few
words about our public schools, about
which much talking has been done re-
ptntly, and petition circulated asking
that the legislature repeal the law grant
ing to Cav son her public school system.
This, it seems to me, = would be an ad-
vance step backward, for if Dawson has
anything to be proud of it is the fact OF
her having a public school system
Dawson is known abroad and has been
popularity famous in past years for hav-
ing excellent educational advantages,
and to now go back to the halcyOn DAYS
OF fifty years ago reminds me of the fell
low whose oxen were running away
with him when he shouted: somebody
head usn' From looking at the list
asking the repeal of our public school
law l see the names of some of our
wealthiest citizens who have no children
to educate, the names of old bachelors
who never expect to have any necessity
for schools, and the names of disgruntled
citizens who know that their taxes are
too high but are willing to sign anything
thatWould have tendency TO reduce
the present exOr5itant and burdensome
rate Of taxation. While all these may
have just cause for kicking [ think
they have the wrong mule by the ears
and if they will stop and think little,
they will easily see that the trouble lies
not in the public school system itself, but
IN the improper management Of public
expenditures by emulation Of petty poll
tlcians Who seek to cover themselves
with glory and rise to future distinction
as public benefactors.
| must admit that our city school
taxes are too high, but stop a moment.
What right has the city or school board
to impose an extra tax on school patrons
OF - per scholar simply for the loan of
DO Ks? This is unjust to the small ones
because II is excessive, and unjust to the
higher grades, for these pupils need
their school books after they are through
school as books of reference as much as
they need them in school, and while the
city may make good margin by keep
ing book store they could supply the
children with clothing and shoes with as
much propriety, and | think if brought
to test this uncalled-for, unusual and
unsatisfactory tax for the loan of books
would be found, as Andrew johnson
would say, unconstitutional" Very
respectfully,
TAX PAYER AND PATRON.

TAXES MILL Be NO HIGHER.
COMMISSIONERS WILL FIX COUNTY
NATE NEXT TUESDAY.
Chairman Christie Thinks the Levy
VIII BE Reduced 1 Mill. State
Levy Increased 1 Mill.

?
The tax rate for the ensuing year has
not yet 0een fxedNby the county com
missione-s, but this work will be attend
ed to at tie regular meeting OF the board
next Tuesday.
The tax rate Of the state has been
raised from 5,21 mills to 6.21 on the
thousand, and while it is not known just
what tie commissioners will do it is
thought the county rate will be reduced
from :. ~ mills to $40 mills, making the
state and county tax 13 mills, or $13, on
the thousand, the same as it was last
year
Mr.. 5. r. Christie, chairman of the
county commissioners, was seen by THE
News and W hen asked about the prob
able tax levy for the county said:
"We have not definitely determined
vet and 7 am not in a position to say Just
what WI. be done, but | think the rate
will no. be as high as it was last year.
As you know, the state has increased its
rate $500 on the thousand and |
think there will be a reduction Of that
much in The county rate"
Chairman Christie is of the opinion
that levy Of SO. 10 Cd the thousand and
the county's part of the dispensary
profits Will pay all of the expenses of the
county for the next twelve months, a
floating debt of several thousand
dollars .AaJ has been in existence a
number OF years and the remainder that
is due on the Jail.
The lax rate has caused much talk in
the city aad county, and the people are
all anxious TO know the amount of tax
they will lave to pay this year.
