tcrious purpose, there Is no indication
that liquor is for sale.
Treasurer Wright favors a more lib
eral policy in the granting of liquor
permits, and believes that If licenses
were given to those who have applied,
as long as they agreed to obey the laws
the permit should be granted when 1t
did not interfere With the rights Of
others.
Just now the Treasurer has for con-
sideration the application of a Jap
anese, through Attorney Brooks, for n
license to manufacture liquor from
rice. He intends to establish his dis
tillery in Manoa Valley. il the desired
permission Is granted.
No application has been received from
Frank Brown who ii is reported is fig
uring upon the establishment of dis
tillery for the manufacturer OF rum
from molasses. Attorney General Dole
has not passed upon the matter, but is
understood to have given an informal
opinion that the customs regulations
introduced by the United States have
lessened the power of the Territory to
license the manufacturer of liquor, to Il
considerable extent.

Liquor Licenses
Issued This
Year.

Treasurer Wright is considering the
advsabiity of extending the Honolulu
limits 70" the sale of liquor The law
requires that he fix the limits and he
said yesterday that within a short time
an extension would be made. At pres
ent the limits where the treasurer may
grant licenses without the consent of
the Governor is confined within the
following streets: Maunakea 10 Pauahi
TO Nuuanu to Bcretania to Fort (but
not including ForD to Bethel and in
Guiding Merchant street. What streets
viii be taken in by the Treasurer when
he readjusts these limits have not been
decided upon, though River street very
likely will be included.
Altogether Treasurer Wright has
granted in the neighborhood of l20 Ii
censes in tine Territory. This number
includes all kinds, from light wine and
ale To the brewery license. This state
ment cannot be taken tn mean however
| that there are not more than that num-
/ ber of places in the Hawaiian Islands
! where liquor is sold In fact ii can be
safely said that there are considerably
nearer 500 than 100 saloons in the
Territory.
The United states Internal Revenue
/ Department is today collecting liquor
tax from between 400 all 500 places
within its jurisdiction, and even the col
lectors have probably missed one or
two joints, hidden among the hills.
| The work of the revenue agents in the
Territory has neen very thorough and

stop illegal liquor selling, seldom find

though the keeper will obstinately deny

Treasurer Wright sees no present
solution Of this difficulty. II has been
the policy Of the government to limit
the issuance of liquor licenses to re-
| sponSible men who can be trusted u
keep strictly within the limits of the
law.
The majority of these Illicit dlspen-

A Chapter from the Life of the
Village Parsons Helpmate.

In every village the pastors wife eX-
erts an influence often as great as that
of her husband. Needless to say, the
responsibility of her position is great.
Her approval or disapproval is NOT
given without careful and conscientious
consideration. This emphasizes the i'm

OF the Methodist Episcopal church Of

was not serious and will be repaired in
a few days.
A large force OF men was put 20 work
today on the roads in the country. No
decision has been arrived at by the
board relative to the break on the wal
akca road at Hackfeids. There is talk
that a culvert will be put in and pipes

Such plan does not have the full sup
port OF the board for the reason, II is
said that anytime there was a north

Il temporary bridge Monday afternoon.
1t Is not likely that the planning mill
will be rebuilt in it's present position.
In Olaa the damage to cane is trininS;
the only serious happening was to the
two reservoirs at nineteen miles. one
of these gave way at the bank early
Saturday morning flooding the road for
a distance of more than a mile, the wa
ter carrying with 1t logs and ferns so
that for a time the road was badly
