HEAVY RAINS IN
k0HALA DISTRICT
Rain Gauges Register Seven
Inches in One Day and
Bridges Swept Away.

KOHALA, Hawaii, Feb. u. = The
forces of nature in kohala, apparently
tired of monotony, have of late been
indulging in madcap frolic OF
spasmodic nature; fierce Kona winds
lasting for days, alternating with
short periods of death-like calm; clear
skies suddenly closing in on all sides
with dense clouds and heavy rains, ana
a generally warm temperature occa-
sionally streaked with cold. On the
night of the 18th instant more thunder
was heard than has been experienced
in this district for term OF years
On the night of the 18th instant the
rain gauges registered close upon
seven inches for the twenty-four
hours. The Aamakao and keaweWal
bridges were carried away, the rail-
way trestle suffered some damage.
swept clean of crop and soil. Teams
from Hilo We're detained here beyond
their intended time.
The Awini land transaction seems TO
be a case wherein the operations OF
the Government homestead scheme mas
had an injurious effect on previously
established industries by compelling
them to go to large expense for self
preserva ton, and to do this at time
when funds were scarce and could not
well be spared. This is the more az
gravating since the protests. entered
against the exposure of the $ AWlnl
tract to- the destruction of its forests
were unheeded and the probabilities
were against the success of any home
stead or agricultural scheme in To-
cality so inaccessible. The. damages
resulting from all this business, Of
both public and private character,
have fallen upon the wrong shoulders.

A COMMON ERROR.
Think We Have Telegraphic Com
mun1catlon With Coast

1t is believed on the Mainland that the
Hawaiian Islands are connected by cable
and that Geographic communication is
accelerated now by the establishment of
the wireless telegraph. The American
Electrician has fallen into the error, as
shown by the following taken from the
February issue: According to press
dispatch, three wireless telegraph sta
tons have been established in the Ha-
waiian Islands; one at Honolulu, one at
Hilo. and one on the Island of Lanai.
There is a cable connection between the
Islands of Lanai and Maui, and the es-
tablishment of the wireless telegraph
service completes means of communion
ton between all the Islands of the group
except Kauai. 1t is said that several
rigid tests have demonstrated the en-
tire practicability of the system.
! Manager Waller of the Metropolitan
Meat Company is authority for the state
ment that he has demonstrated the
practicability of the wireless system by
the following telegram which he sent to
Alika Dowsett, at Lanai, last Tuesday:
Please ship by the Golden Gate 200
sheep; never mind about the cattle;
need sheep badly
Mr. Waller states that on Saturday
Captain Bennett of the Lehua says when
he stopped at Lanai during the week he
was informed that the message had
been received

PRIMARY ELECTION LAW.

The last Minnesota Legislature passed
a primary election law for the whole
State, based upon the successful opera
ton OF the primary law in Minneapolis.
1t does not apply to- State offices, the
majority of the Legislature believing that
it would ;be better TO give the plan
fair test over small areas than TO risk
the possible embarrassment, OF hastily
framed law under the widely different
conditions Of elections for State officers.
II it works we'll in the smaller areas, it
is proposed later to extend it TO nomina-
tionst for State Offices. The distinctive
features Of the law are:
First-Common primaries fer all parties
concurrently and under cornpulsion.
secona--The eombfnation Fpf primary
election day with one of thssreslstra ton
days, WHICH for thespurpose is set back
seven weeks before election, &s
Third : Regular Judges and clerks of
election serving as Judges and clerks of
the primary. .5tg
Fourtir--Thes alternationsof names Of the
candidates on The ticketsato eliminate all
advantage or position.
Fifth-Ail the safeguards of the regular
election law SO far as applicable.
To secure place ON the primary ticket
a candidate need only file with the county
Auditor an affidavit that he is a member
of the party whose nomination he seeks,
and bona fde candidate for specified
office. A fee of $40 for a local or county
nomination, and OF 500 for an office voted
for in more than one county, is also re-
quired.

DR.. Parkhurst did not intend TO do the
South injustice. but in a hurried glance
at it in educational meetings and from
the Pullman car window, he did not learn
all about it in one visit. In the main
hrs recent statements about the South
are true and his expressions are genuine
He was in error when ne referred to the
"shiftlessness" Of the Southern people The
New York Times, in a sensible and wise
editorial shows DR. Parkhursts mis-
take by an array of facts and figures.
Since the war the souths production of
cotton has increased three and a half
times, its population has increased from
s 900, 900 to is 900. 600, it has increased the
number of it's spindles from 2 4S3. 900 to A.,
800, 900, while the North has increased 49,,
zoo, 900 spindles to 600 in the same
period. The Times adds:
The North has stood still; the South
has increased SO per cent. In 1860 the
South had 1886 miles of railroads; in
1899 it has 49, 759 miles. In 1860 the South
had 31.S per cent. of the total mileage of
the country in 1899 she still had over
&c per cent We might give similar Illus
trations of progress in new industries in
the South--the iron and coal, the fruits,
vegetables and miscellaneous manufac-
turers-which have been created since the
war They would not confirm the infer
ence from the fact, already given, namely,
that the South, in view of all the condi-
tions, has afforded ample evidence of re-
markable energy, persistence and re-
sourcefulness, which may we'll be mat
ter Of patriotic pride with all Americans.
Ehe Times precedes these figures with
review OF the industrial and political
conditions in the South that forced it's
people to make bricks without straw,
saying defeat left the South exhausted,
Impoverished, its labor system overturned,
it's reserve capital almost destroyed, and
its political system in utter confusion,
while 1.-The period Immediately following
The war brought other and equally haras-
sing conditions to which the North can

TIE DARKENED SUN.

The New York Sun, which is always
finding out something that does not exist,
tells the cotton manufacturers of the
New England States that they need have
no fear of Southern competition, and gives
as reason that the climate of the South
is such that labor cannot be 80 nimble
at his work or ambitious-the climate is
too enervating.' If the Sun man will
come to North Carolina and go INTO the
two hundred mills OF the State, he will
write an altogether different sort of arti-
Gle
According to the figures of Latham,
Alexander and Company. of New York,
siuce 1894, the North has increased its
spindles $50. 600. In the same period the
South has increased the number OF spin
dies 1907 ,167. In 1899 North Carolina
used 3S2,477 bales of cotton in its cotton
mills. In 1900 it required 1875, $50 bales.
Do these figures bear out the Suns
"enervating" climatic theory?
Ii you see it in the Snn-its well to
investigate carefully before accepting il
as so"

MOSQUITOES AND MALARIA.

The Goldsboro Argus is doing a good
work thus early in the season. to urge
that war be begun on mosquitoes before
they are born or Matched. The surest way
is to fill up all pools OF stagnant water
or to cover the water with petroleum.
1t may be doubted whether we would
have any mosquitoes if there were no, stag
pant water. The ArguA says;
In Cuba it was clearly and unmistak-
ably demonstrated that yellow fever could
not be communicated Jhrough clothing
or the infection of building, but that
the bites of certain mosquitoes that had
before bitten a fever patient werensure
to create the disease. This was amply
demonstrated in Havana and DR.. Lazear
lost his life in the experiments. s" No
bite of an infected mosquito failed to
produce a case OF fever, and infection
without the intervention OF mosquitoes is
well nigh in1possinle. aasa e.
Professor Boyer, of Tulane University,
is equally confident thatano case OF ma
laria can occur except through the bites
of malaria-laden mosquitoes. The disease
They are swamp mosquitoes. There are
other swamp mosquitoes, a dozen species
perhaps, but the anopheles are the only
dangerous ones. And the danger from
them is confined to the females, but there
are twice as many females as males. The
mouth of the male is not formed for suck
ing He cannot inject the malaria germs
