CARNEGIE is A. MARK
Asked to Pay a Debt Contracted by
His Mother So Years Ago.
Nephew Of Scotch Woman Who Lent
the Family Money TO Emigrate
with Asks Reimbursement at
Compound Interest.

Andrew Carnegie's dollar.scattering
sampaign in Great Britain has devel-
oped the alleged existence of ro-
mantle debt the iron philanthropist's
family left behind when it emigrated
to the American land Of plenty So years
ago.
Henry d. Lennox, a residentof Glns-
row, asserts that his aunt loaned Mr..
Cdrnegies mother IL shillings ($2.75)
10 help defray the family's ocean pas
sage, receiving the promise of repay
ment when fortune should smile on the
Carnegies.
Mr.. Lennox calculates that at the
rate of five per cent. compound inter
est the little obligation now amounts
to $44. lie suggests that il Mr. Carne-
gle can spare the change he might be
disposed to remember his old friends.
Mr.. Lennox says:
"When the Carnegies left Dunferm-
line they were so poor that the mother
had to borrow money to take them to
the United States. My aunt, though a
poor woman herself, helped them out
to the extent of II shillings, but the
| promise to return the loan evidently
escaped the memory of the benefi-
ciaries, because they never repaid the
sum borrowed
-"My aunt is dead, but she left two
daughters, one of whom is the wife of
a humble joiner in Dunfcrmline, while
the other is a maiden lady engaged in
a small drapery businessin Edinburgh.
Don't you think that II Mr.. Carnegie
knew this he would be willing to do
handsomely by his mothers friends"
Meavy Wellington Wack. general
manager of a company whose services
as collection agency Mr.. Lennox has
enlisted, informed the Chicago Record
Herald correspondents the other night
that the matter has been seriously in
vestigated by Mr.. Carnegie during his
present visit to his highland castle OF
Skibo, and that he ha decided o settlt
o very comfortable endowment on the
heirs of the family of his benefactress

Kansas City, Mo-, July 30-If good
fortune ever came unexpectedly and at
the same time deservedly it was when
one of the judges at the land drawing
at Ell Reno announced Miss Matte H.
Beals had drawn a homestead in the
new Indian country, which is at the
present time worth from 100000 to
$4,000. Miss Beals was for years a
clerk in Kansas City department
store, which she left to become a tel
ephone operator in this city at sal
ary of 50 week. Out of her scant in
come she was taking care of an aged
mother, and it was hard sometimes
for her to make both ends meet.
But there is pretty little romance
in her life which her present good
fortune has brought to light. 1t was
while she was clerk in the depart
ment store that she met Charles ".

The ships of the Baldwin-Zeigler
arctic expedition weighed anchor at
Tromsoe, Norway, the other night
about midnight and, with the stars
and stripes and Norwegian flags at
their masts, steamed off to the
north. AS they left the harbor the
crews of the other vessels in the
harbor gave the expedition a part
ing cheer. Evelyn B. Baldwin, chief
of the expedition, was in excellent
spirits. His last words were that he
had little doubt of reaching the
north pole. The America will. pro-

as we'll attempt to subdue the Hima- layas as to cope with these wastes, but the hand of united and associated man will some day reach forth to grasp the great results
 That day has come simultaneously with the day of great aggregations of capital and ot daring cOnquests of new industrial fields. This time it is, first of all, the conquest of growing channels of communication.
 Railroads Lead the Way.
 For years, one of the dreams of the Far Southwes, has been a direct line of railroad from Salt Lake City to Los Angeles. This would unite the intermountain region with the sea- coast, and affect wonderful social and commercial interchange between localities differing radically in their climate and products. Even more i'm pOrtant, it would open up to settle ment and development an immense territory which must lie vacant and useless without transportation facili ties. About year ago Senator w. A. Clark of Montana announced that he would back such a project with his millions. Work was soon begun and vigorously pushed. To the amaze ment of the public this resulted in arousing the Union Pacific interests to action. They, too, determined to build similar line, and today both roads are in process of rapid construc- tion. Hence, the cup of joy runneth over in the City of the. Angels and the City of the Saints

magazines of the country, contains in it's October issue very interesting, illustrated article on The Blooming of Sahara from the pen of that talented writer, William B. Smythe, author of Arid America" Among the illustrations are the following: Work on the Imperial Canal" "A Typical View of the Desert Main Canal of the Imperial Canal System, , San Jacinto Mountains" "A Group of Wild Palms, "A Bit of Reclaimed Desert" Sunrise on the Desert ,'' Children of the Desert" "A Date Palm,'' and two salt scenes at Salton.
 This article is so we'll written that it is difficult to take simply an ex- tract, but we venture to limit the clip ping to the following:
 Under the magic influence of na- tional prosperity and Oriental expan- sion, new impulse of development is sweeping over our Farthest South west. This is the region drained by the noble stream which, after receiv- ing great rivers of Wyoming and Colorado, of Utah and Arizona, be-

rado River and it's tributaries will constitute the focal feature of the Southwest. Here cheap power and ir- rlgation will bring into existence towns, manufacturies and dense az ricultural population. The transfor- nation is already well begun.
 ''If popular imagination has pie tured one place above another as the true American Sahara, it was the wide stretch of desolation known as the Colorado Desert, lying on the borders of California and Mexico. No traveller on the route from New Orleans to San Francisco ever approached it without dread, nor was borne too swiftly through it's stifling heat and alkali dust. Tales of prospectors who had fallen of thirst and left their bones to whiten in the pitiless sun lent a touch of horror to the evil reputation background a new picture of green fields, and singing brooks and rising homes shows only the more brightly by contrast.
 For the truth is that this is not a desert, but a delta-not a stretch of sterile sands, but a vast tract of sedi- mentary deposit rich almost beyond belief. It is the natural bride of the Colorado River. The marriage of the water and the soil was celebrated on the 18th day of last June. Already several thousand acres of crops have sprung from the union. During the fall and winter tens of thousands of acres will come into cultivation. In a lew years it Will be hundreds of thou sands of acres; ultimately an area ap- preaching two millions of acres will have been conquered, peopled, made opulent with fields and homes. No where else in the world is there an other such favorable conjunction of abundant water supply and large tracts of fertile soil lying in one con- pact body. Even in it's smaller as- poets it means that the productive ca pacity of Southern California will be more than doubled in the next few years.
 ''In appearance the delta is a wide, level plain, enclosed in frame of pur- pie mountains. Much of it is so smooth

 With the exception of little dis trict in Southern California, chiefly within sixty miles of Los Angeles, this is an undiscovered country, in an economic sense. Here and there the perennial flow of small mountain streams have been made to coax lit tie verdure from the desert and to sustain a few families or communi- ties. Here and there some wilderness mine of extraordinary richness has sent it's lonely pack trans through the shimmering heat and voiceless silence. Over it all. but particularly in a few favored spots, the pastoral industry has flourished with varying degrees of success. Along it's sea- coast, villages have dreamed of con- ing greatness as ports of worldwide traffic, but practically, the gates of the Southwestern empire have stood barred ana locked, awaiting some new and powerful impulse from with Out
 Within this region are vast areas of fertile soil which, if irrigated, would support millions of people. Singularly enough, the water supply is more abundant than in localities favored with earlier development There are mountains of iron, of coal and of salt-yes, literally mountains of these valuable raw materials. There are mines unworked and burst ing with ore worth $100 ton at the shelter. There are in the remarkable combinations of soil and climate po- tentialities of production beyond any thing known in the agriculture of the day.
 Why, with these alluring possibil- ities, has this region remained almost untouched by the intense life of the past generation? Hon. Thomas B. Reed made eloquent explanation of the mystery when he said:
 There wealth only can produce wealth. Man singly and alone might

THE COMMITTEE CUTS IT DOWN
MATERIALLY.
Also Brings in a Substitute Bill-Many
Speeches Made on the subject-Dr.
Russel's Effort.

House Bill AS, providing for counties,
was the first thing brought up i'm the
Senate this morning. Objection was
made to ii on the ground that the print
ed copies differed from the official copy.
After a considerable wheeling of gas
in the Senatorial eyrie, the bill passed
first reading.
Mr.. Carter, for the committee on
Ways and Means, submitted an ex-
haustive report on Senate Bills Sc and
66, relating to public loans. The total
amount to be borrowed is cut down
from nearly two millions to a million
and half in two years. Expenditures
for Oahu alone are cut down 5000, 600
and big slash is made in the Ha-
wall appropriation. A substitute bill
was submitted. Mr. Carter thereupon
moved to refer the reports to the COM
mittee of the whole for immediate con-
sideration.
DR.. Russell presented a minority re-
port in which he objected to loans, ad-
vocated taxes on sugar and the rich to
raise money, and charged that the
loans were being engineered to cover
past sins" Money had been thrown
away in the past by the Republic.
DR.. Russell made a Count Tolstoi
speech on the subject. 1t was one of the
| longest addresses made this session,
lasting nearly twenty minutes. The
l
should pay all the taxes and that the
poor should be protected. In his talk
| he declared that money had been
! thrown away by the late government;
appropriations had been transferred
/ falsely to other funds, and that the
financial system had been loose gem
orally He vigorously attacked Cecil
| Browns loan bill, and reiterated that
the rich should be taxed for the money
| necessary to run the country as they
received the most money out of it.
Kanuha, in a speech, recommended
that taxes on property be increased
| from one to two per cent
A half dozen speeches We're made.
Some of the Senators seemed to think
their lives depended on some recon-
mendation as to taxes and when the
two loan bills should be considered.
There were motions to consider at
once, to consider at p. m. to post
| pone to tomorrw, to refer to Printing
| Committee to table and what not in
succession The matter finally went
to Printing Committee.

HOUSE TACKLES LIQUOR
A BILL TO GREATLY INCREASE
THE LICENSE RATE.
1t is Reported Favorably by a Com
mittee But Meets Strong Opposition
on the Floor

The liquor question has now reached
the House and the dispensary fight is
to have repetition on the floor of the
lower chamber. The question arose in
the House this morning when the Pub
lie Lands and Internal Improvements
committee reported on the Monsarrat
liquor bill. There was a short sharp
debate and the matter was laid over
for future action.
A number of members have hatchets
ready for the liquor trust and they
are ready to ride full tilt at the mono
poly now said to control the business.
The Monsarrat bill provides for raising
the liquor license to $4,000 a year and
absolutely prohibits private rooms, ta-
bles, chairs or screens in saloons. 1t
was favorably reported this morning.
The liquor men are making too much
money in the opinion of the men who
have an axe out for them and the lat
ter want to know what becomes of all
the cash that was formerly paid for
duties on spirits. The report of the
committee says: After due cOnsidera-
ton your committee finds that the bill
is a measure to increase the fees for
the license to Vend spirituous liquors
from $1,000 to $4,000 on retail license and
thereby brings a much better revenue
to the government than it now has
from such source, taking into consider
alton that all American liquors import
ed into the territory now are exempted
of duties, which is loss to the gov
eminent of several hundred thousand
dollars"
Makekau objected very strongly to
the raise in licenses. Incidentally he
remarked that he was going into the
liquor business himself If the cost was
not made too high, whereupon Dickey
proposed that, being interested finan-
| cially in the question, he be prevented
from voting
Monsarrat, author of the bill, said
that he would rather see it killed alto
gether than amended to make the liz
cense only $1,000 a year.
The report was finally laid on the
table to be considered with the bill and
probably to furnish the occasion of a
warm fight in the future.

NO DOUBLE sENTE. .CE.

By unanimous decision the Supreme
Court has decided in favor of defendant
in the case of Poloaiea, selling liquor
without license on appeal from the DIS
trict court of Honolulu 1t appears
that defendant was sentenced to three
months Imprisonment and a fine of 5000
the court prescribing Imprisonment on
the ground that it was a second offence.
Defendant appealed on the ground mat
two offences were not shown and that
the law only permits a fine for first Of
tense. The Supreme Court susta'ns Ike
plea and instructs the district magis-
trate to impose a fine only. Following
is the meat of the decision:
Where a District Magistrate has i'm
posed sentence of both fine and i'm
prisonment at hard labor for an offensa
for which the statute prescrib IS d fine
only, and defendant app calls TO the SUI
preme Court solely on the point # law
that the sentence is excessive and lie
gal, the Supreme Court may, as the cir
cumStances of the case and justice may
require, either correct the. sentence by
striking out the reference to imprison-
ment or remand the case to the District
Magistrate with directions to make
such correction or to impose a sentence
within the limits allowed by law. The
King V. Tai Wa, Haw. 59S, overruled.
