 But these inconvenience are referred to with smiling faces for everyone un- derstands that the rain is the salvation of the country. The peculiarity of all the rain thar has fallen this year is that it has come in the best possible manner to benefit the farmer, There has besn no remarkable downpour at any one time and the showers have been just far enough apart. The pre- ceding rains soaked the surface of the ground and the fall supply In the ca- nals for the las. two weeks has given the farmers all the water they have been able to use. Farmers have come to realize tlat their best storage sup ply is deep soaking of the land while they have water so 1t can better with stand long dry spell and for that req son they arc using all the water they can without Injury to their crops. It is probable that the valley generally has not been as Gel watered in many years as it Is today and the present rains and snow in the mountains are .'providng a supply both under and above ground that will bring rejoicing later on.

 Heart.

About l o'clock yesterday afternoon it began raining in Phoenix and there was constant downpour till dark The weather bureau apparatus at 5 o'clock showed a>record of half-inch precipitation and the rain continued for some time after the reading was taken.
 The best feature of 1t all is that 1t was not short and tempestuous storm but one steady, continual downpour If there was drop of 1t ran away from where 1t fen it was for the very good reason that the ground at that place was already soaked by previous rains. The air was rather chill and the gem eral weather conditions were such as warrant the belief that snow was fall ing in the mountains, The storm seems to be general, at least east, south and west from Phoenix and the supposition is that 1t also extended far to the north.

LEONORA JACKSON CONCERT
The Famous Violiniste Entertains a
 Large Audience.

A large and fashionable audience greeted the appearance of Miss Leonora Jackson at the opera house last night although many were undoubtedly ab- sent owing to the inolemency of the weather
 The programme was begun with pl- anofurte solo, "FOlonaise," by Liszt, played by the accompanlst Mir. Selden Pratt. This young pianist did good work and his number was received with high appreciation as was also his second number. There was, an ex- pression of regret that more could not be heard of him. However. he has some disagreeable manncrisms which he would do well to avoid.
 The second number. Concerto No. 4 in D Minor" Vieuxtemps, including the introduction and cadenza, Adagio ReligiCs5 and finale allegro Marziale. was played by Miss Jackson. This number always affords every opportun- fly for dclicacy of handling and shad- ing and it's demands were fully met by the girl-like and unassuming artist. It was beautifully played and exhib- tied her studies under Joachim.
 The waltz song Arditi, by Miss El- burma, the soprano. was very artistic ally and Gaintily sung. The apprecia- ton of the audience demanded an en- core and she responded with "Mavour- naen," by Margaret Lang.
 No. 4. Nocturas. D. Flat, an arrange ment of Chopin Sarasate and Hun garian dane. "Brahms-J Joachim" was Ht. and ability and the vlolinist found here abundant opportunity for the display of her technique and especial qualities. It was altogether delightfully."- played and greatly enjoyed hy the audience. Having to respond to an encore she played most melodlously "Berceuse of Goard."
 At Evening"" by Ran, delicate and dainty number, afforded the opportun- ity for tgne effects and expression in Its various phases.
 With a fund of rich sentiment and an appreciative quality of repose was this number rendered.
 "TOcatta," Sgambati, gave chance for the precision and exactions of cor rect tempo that was fully met by the young pianist.
 No. on the programme, comprising "AdOratiJn," Borowsky, "HumOr- eslue," Tschaikowsky "Madrigale." Simonetti, and "Papillon" Hubay, covered many variations and require ments for the varied characteristics of each number In this ensemble was evinced a richness of color and variety of emotional force, requiring all the manipulations of lowing and lingering and was most remarkable for contrast, all the finest qualities being revealed. The Humoresque number was especial ly clever. The Butterfly number simply captivated the audience which was only satisfied by her return to the stage playing unaCcompanied number by Miss Jackson, theme and variations
 The (a) Cb) and Co numbers for the soprano, all light in their nature were well sung by Miss Eiburna, with clear nes and quite French style, but with too much of the nasal and head intona- ton. The latter Is not said in any de- preciating sense, but on the contrary the voice being brilliant and bright and capable Of everything better. The lis- teners greatly enjoyed the numbers and were only satisfied by the return of the singer who gave a lullaby with

A CAUSE oR HEADACHE.
One Very Common Cause, Generally
 Overlooked.

Headache is a symptom, an indica- ton of derangsment or disease in some organ and the cause of the headache is difficult to locate because so many diseases have headache as a prominent symptom; derangemsnt of the stom- ach and liver, heart trouble kidney disease, lung trouble. eye strain or ill., fitting glasses all produce headaches and If we could always locate the or gan which Is at fault, the cure Of ob- stiEate headaches would be much simpler matter.
 However, for that form of headache called frontal headache. pain back of the eyes and in forehead. the cause is now known to be catarrh of the head and throat; when the headache Is To- cated in the back of the head and neck 1t Is often caused from catarrh of the stomach or liver.
 At any rate catarrh is the most com mon caues of such headaches and the cure of the catarrh causes a prompt disappearance of the headaches.
 There is at present no treatment for catarrh so convenient and effective as Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, new inter- nal remedy in tablet form, composed of antssptics like Eucaly ptol, Guaia- col and Blood Root, which act upon the blood and cause the elimination oS the catarrhal poison from the system through the natural channels.
 Miss Cora Ainsley, a prominent school teacher in one of cur normal schools speaks of her experience with catarrhal headaches and eulogizes Stu arts Catarrh Tablets as cure for them She says: 'I suffered daily from se- were frontal headache and pain in and back of the eyes, at times so intensely as to incapacitate me in my daily dut- ics. I had suffered from catarrh more or less for years, hut never thought II was the cause of my headaches, but finally became convinced that such was the case because the headaches were always worse whenever [ had cold or fresh attack of catarrh.
 "Stuarts Catarrh Tablets were highly recommended to me as d safe and pleasant catarrh cure and after using a few fifty-ceDt boxes whica l procured from my druggist l was surprised and delighted to find that both the catarrh and headaches had gone for good"
 Stuarts Catarrh Tablets are sold by druggists at fifty cents per package under the guarantee of the proprietoTs that they contain absolutely no cocaine Hound in so many catarrh cures) ne opium (so common in cheap cough cures) nor any harmful drug. They contain simply the wholesome antisep- ties necessary to destroy and drive from the system the germs of catarrhal dis ease.

NAVY PORT FOR BRITAIN.

II is announced that the British Gov
eminent is negotiating for large water
lots and considerable land in Sydney
harbor. Nova Scotia. The fact of En-
gland Purchasing property at Sydney IS
most significant.
The terrifying of Sydney would give
England one of the best naval stations
in the Empire. With one of the finest
harbors in the world: Sydney could be
approached at almost any time of the
year. and the great coal deposits would
enable her to cater to John Bulls most
extravasant demands for fuel. 1t
could be stored in large quantities at
small expense and held in case Of
emergency. This year shortage has
been experienced at the dockyards and
the British authorities have had to buy
American coal in order to keep steam
up on their American fleet. With sgd
ney source of supply this would all be
altered and the coal question would be
effectively solved.
Another advantage resulting from
the terrifying of sydney would be that
of bringing the British forces within
easy striking distance of the French
Newfoundland squadron and the Island
of Miquelon.
Competent officers have examined
the harbors surrounding and they have
been found to be capable Of easy de-
Tense. The work of fortifying the har-
bors will. from present indications,
not be long delayed. and Great Britain
will have added another link to her
chain of strongholds which encircle tho
globe.

that makes great deal of wooden and

people who are handling them manipu-
late and garble them as the Advertiser
is doing.
In its final solution the garbled argu-
ment of our contemporary has It's
source in lack of confidence in the char
acter of Hawaii's citizenship. 1t finds
its followers no longer in complete con
troll except as they exercise complete
suzerainty over the Territorial execr-
tive. Records show with what ardcr
municipal government was contemplat-
ed when Dole's cause was given up as
lost and how this ardor changed to bit
ter OPPOSITION when the old order was
maintained. The only object of delay
and II is so stated is that during tho
transition period" II may be possible
to import an element that can be con-
trolled, or as the organ of good gov
eminent" put it will vote for good gov
eminent.
Taking the Advertiser at its word
that good government is gagged by
wealth what is now being done to add
to this numerical force? Is the good
government" following doing anything
to increase the number of educated,
thoughtful farmers or are recent i'm
portatlons of class whose franchise
can be bought? Are the mercantile or
commercial organizations doing any
thing to induce citizens Of the Mainlanl
to come to Hawaii to try ther fortunes
with no other capital than honesty and
readiness to work? They are not AM
| they make no denial of II. The YOUNG
clerk. the mechanic, the American far
mer is told without ceasing that the
market is crowded and openings few.
What then is to serve as the back
bone Of this future thoughtful citizen
ship? Porto Ricans. Southern negroes
Experiences in Porto Rico or the South
are not such as to warrant the belief
that this naturally shifting element will
so far raise the standards Of municipal
purity that we should await the advent
of its power.

EXPENSE AND CITIZENSHIP,

To demonstrate the enormous ex-
pense of city and county government
for Hawaii the Advertiser quotes In |
part from valuable statistics published
in the World Almanac. The Bulletin
joins the Advertiser in commenting
these tables to citizens of Hawaii for
study. Bearing in mind that Hawaii
with its tax rate of 81 on every 500.
and that all property is assessed on
its full valuation so far as possible,
the reader will discover that of the 10
cities for which statistics are given
only rs levy the tax rate on the full
valuation of assessable property.
The percentage of actual value on
which the so-called high tax rate is
levied averages about 40 per cent.
Peoria, H., for instance, is cited by our
contemporary as having tax rate Of
SS.45 on the hundred. With its usual
regard for the truth the Advertiser fails
to quote that this rate is levied on only
ten per cent of the full valuation of as
sessable property.
Property owners Of this Territory are
only too well aware Of the eagerness
with which the tax assessor rolls M
the valuation of their property las exem-
plfied by the price he paid for 1t or AS
established by the price some wealthy
purchaser may have paid for an
adjoining lot. The man buying home
can afford and usually does afford a
larger purchase price than he who buys
for investment or speculation. The
wealthy citizen who sees plot of land
that suits his fancy does not hesitate
at the price. He can well afford to pay
the purchase price or the tax rate On
its full valuation. The neighbor, how
ever, not blessed with a superabun-
dance OF this worlds goods over AMI
above his home, finds on the arrival Of
the assessor that his property has sud
denly advanced in value so far as taxes
are concerned. Should he go into the
market, however, he would discover
that the full valuation thus established
is fictitious one. He finds further
more that he is paying more for tho
maintenance OF a government in the
Territory of Hawaii than the total
state, county and city tax of the resi-
dent in the average Mainland city.
1t Is often said that figures do not
lie; but that depends upon whether the
