DISTRICT KNOCKED OUT
School Dfctriet Fails to Get EaIf
Mife Territory.

hiie Territory.
Glencoe. o. T., July 13.-The Mirror says
that the school district Of that place was
knocked out in its contention for a hale
mile additional territory on the west be
fore the commissioners last Wednesday.
The case did not come on for trial be
cause the officers east Of US were not
officially notified, ana the entire proceed
ing would therefore have been Illegal.
Whether this was the fault OF the ex-su-
perintendent or of the officers who were
TO post the notices, is not known. At any
rate. Glencoe would have been defeated
in regular trial before the commission
ers. as the district from which we were
getting the half mile showed that they
would have only about $1,000 valuation,
while this district would have as it is
over so Coo valuation. The difference al
ready in favor Of this district would have
been too great and division on the
ground asked by Glencoe would have
proved a hardship to the district west Of
us. We presume It was not the intention
of our people TO work such a hardship.
and the people acquiesce in the arrange
ments made and viii contend no further
for additional territory.

Guthrie, o. T.. July 18.-The South Nc
Alester Capital prints a story TO the ef-
feet that the sellers Of Nsixy can afford
to pay $1,000 a month for the privilege of
selling nixy in the central district. So
Col. J. H. wilkins, United States prose-
cutting attorney, was told by Harry Cohn
who is one Of the new agents OF the new
drink. Colonel wilkins says that COhn
came to him in his Office and made the
statement tAat il was worth the sum of
8. 600 per month TO sell nixy in his dis
trict.
Did you take the statement as being
in the nature Of. hint at a bribe?" was
asked the attorney.
Il did not take 1t as meaning anything
more than he said. / told him that his
statement was 10 my mind a clincher that
the stuff was illegal, as no company
could afford to pay so much for the
privilege Of selling a Notwithstanding
beverage It was my intention he con-

council and urged its members TO make
the license $1,000. but failed TO make
connection. # they are 70 be allowed to
sell the stuff in the city they can well
afford to pay high for the privilege when
they sell it by the car load.
That is Colonel wilkins view and there
are a good many others who are inclin-
ed the same way.
Tobe Ramsey stated a week or so ago

that when he sold hop tea his sales here

Liquor Problem in Hawaii.

Honolulu, Feb. 12.-Nia San Francisco
Feb. 19.-The South Carolina dispen-
sary system is very likely to be put in
force in Hawaii as a solution of the
liquor problem. 1t is known that many
of the legiSlatOrS-Clect of the independ-
ent party are in favor of the scheme
and investigation shows that bill to
introduce it here, already prepared. is
very likely to pass.
Local liquor dealers have begun pre-
paratiOns to fight the South Carolina
system in the Legislature The com
ing session will see much discussion Of
the liquor question.
A local heiliOgraph company is being
organized to establish inter-island
communication by means of the flash
light system.
1t is reported that the steamer War
rimoo of the Canadian Australian Line
has been sold to the Union Steamship
Go. of New Zealand. The company. it
is said. will buy all the steamers of the
Canadian line and endodVor to secure
from the New Zealand government the
mail subsidy now held by the Spreckles.
The National Guard of Hawaii is in
danger of almost going to pieces for
lack of funds.
The heaviest storm experienced here
since 1889 has almost completely tied
up Honolulu harbor and done conSid-
cradle damage over the islands.
An English city could scarcely have
paid higher tribute to the memory of
the late Queen Victoria than Honolulu
on Friday. Feb. s, the day officially set

memory. All kinds Of business was
