Baker va. Branch.

Judge Carr has filed an opinion in the
case OF Charles W. Baker vs.. William M.
Branch and jerome g. Warner, heard
by him in December last. The case grew
out OF the deal between the parties in
reference to the Baker patent hay bind
er which Branch was handling, Warner
being his surety.
The court finds that Branch violated
the terms of his contract: that his testi.
mony is very unsatisfactory, unreliable,
and not entirely truthful and that IL
am not disposed to give much credit to
any statement of his made in his own
favor uncorroborated.'
The court also finds "that tthecomplain-
ant, Baker, and the surety, Warner, were
negligent in not calling or exacting the
monthly itemized statement of the actu-
al running expenses, or money received
from the sales as provided by the co.,
tracts"
Several questions of fact were submit
ted which the court was unable to
answer because the testimony of Branch
was uncorroborated.
In conclusion the court says: IL think
both defendants should be decreed to
pay the so-called stockholders" there
are about 30 of them-"fifteen dollars
each and this should be defendant
Warmers liability, excepting as to casts"
The court holds the evidence to be in
sufficient to hold Warner for the pay
mept of certain mortgage placed on
the property OF Bakers wife.
Branch is ordered to reconvey the pat
ent to Baker and deliver him all unsold
binders; costs to be taxed against both
defendants.

The county seat fight is on.

The county seat fight is on.
For years, the people have looked upon
the county buildings as dsgracefully
poor.
For years, the people have put off the
building of new, because of feeling in
some quarters that the people should
vote on the question of location before
the erection of permanent, modern build
ings.
1t has been freely charged that Paw
Paw feared such vote. Such a charge
can be no longer made, as the vote of
Paw Paws supervisor made submission
possible. Paw Paw courts an election,
and is confident of the result
The True Northerner has no wish to
say anything unkind, or in any other vein
except that of the fairest argument.
Why should the county seat go to
South Haven?
No reason has yet been advanced, or
can be advanced, except that South
Haven wants it.
Why should the county seat not 90 to
South Haven?
Because no village in the county is so
far from the geographical center of the
county, or from the center of population.
Because the location of the county seat
there would entail perpetual expense
on the taxpayers, by reason of excessive
mileage, and on the people generally be-
cause of the expense and trouble of
trip to that place.
Because South Haven is extremely in
accessible by wagon road to the farmers
OF the county, most of whom drive to
the county seat to transact their business,
and the roads leading to that town are of
the poorest character.
Why should the county seat remain in
Paw Paw?
Because it is accessible.
Because it is not unreasonably far
from the geographical center and the
center of population.
Because the present site of the county
buildings, which Paw Paw will enlarge suf-
ficiently to accommodate new buildings.
is more convenient than can possibly be
secured at South Haven, and is ready to
build upon without expensive grading
or preparation; or, if the supervisors pre-
fer, n new and convenient site of an en-
tire block is available and will be pro-
vided by our people.
Because, in all the history OF the coun-
ty, the public business has been transact
ed in buildings presented to the county
by Paw Paw people, and it would now
be a manifest injustice for the county to
build new buildings elsewhere
Because Paw Paw j , uneluaed in the
quality Of wagon roads leading to it,
Because no one finds fault with the
present location OF the county seat ex-
cept the residents of communities desir-
ing to secure it for themselves.
There is no room for any argument as
to which place of the two is the best
located for a county seat, Or as to which
has the best claim upon it, and The
True Northerner has too much faith in
the good judgment of the people to be-
lieve that they will perpetrate the great
mistake OF locating the county seat as
nearly out of the county as they can get
it without going into Lake Michgan-or
Allegan county.
Meanwhile, it behooves every resident,
every property owner and every friend
of Paw Paw to be alert and active, exert
ing every possible influence to prevent
the removal and to accomplish the bond
ing in order that adequate county build
ings may be built in this place.

MORE TRADES
UNIONISM
Cause of the Trouble at the
Honolulu Iron 8
Works.

1T is not case of wages but a de-
sire on the part of some of the en-
ployes to have their union recognized. 4"
said Mr.. Kennedy of the Honolulu Iron
Works yesterday, referring to the walk
out of machinists on Saturday slorn-
ing.
Mr.. Kennedy states that the action of
the machinists in quitting their work
was a matter in which the men were
chiefly concerned. Those who struck
belong to Hawaiian Lodge No. 34l, In
ternational Association of Machinists. a
branch of the union on the mainland.
and In response to the resolution adopt
ed at meeting held during the week.
decided to request the management of
the iron works to officially recognize
their union and in future employ only
union machinists.
A committee consisting of L. Jamie
son, Thomas Kimble and William AL
len called upon the manager and laid
before him number of requests from
the machinists, among them being rec
ognftion of the union, hours of labor
and settlement of disputes. They de-
sired to have these incorporated into
the rules of the iron works. On Friday
the iron works replied to the request in
the negative and the men did not re-
port for duty on Saturday. Just how
many men are implicated in the strike
Mr. Kennedy does not know. as several
were working on odd jobs yesterday on
rush work.
Mr.. Kennedy further states that the
machfnists are receiving as wages,
maximum $3.50 day; minimum 81
He states that there are several infer
Tor Workmen who are classed in the 81
schedule who do not actually earn that
amount of money, while amongst those
receiving the maximum wage there are
certain ones who are worth more, but
says the company cannot establish a
sliding scale of wages.
AS to the men desiring recognition of
their union, the company is of the opin-
ion that the men should be satisfied to
continue working under the system
which has proven one of the best for
years past. AS. employers, the company
has always endeasOred to give the men
the highest wages possible, and with
out being hampered by u~uions the COM
panv was able to weed out s~the inferior
workmen for those who Were,.e worth
their daily hire. Mr.. Kennedy sos-Aates
for the company that the rules which~s
the noacbinists as a union propose to
he incornorated in the company's rules
are the same as those in vogue for
wears The company furthermore does
not feel the necessity of granting re-
onest which will effectually tie its
hands IN the employing of the men
whom thew believe are the most eff
Gent The wages are better than in
con Francisco for the same class of
labor.
No concessions will be made by the
company and unless the men report reg
uIarIv for duty, the strike, as far as
the company is concerned, VIII be con-
tinued as in the past.

Mr.. Pratt still holds the Matson cup,
claiming that the race was not sailed
under the Corinthian rues in the first
place, and that If it was. then the
judges were not qualified according to
those rules, and disagreed among them
selves; therefore, the race should be re-
sailed, either according to rules agreed
upon by the yachtsmen here or accord
to the Corinthian rules.
Captain Otterson refuses to resail the
race, claiming foul, and the cup, and
so the matter stands. In the meantime
Mr. Pratt proposes to keep the cup until
he returns, and, if possible, reorganize
the Hilo Yacht Club and again put the

CANAL AND HAWAII
Comment Of a Los Angeles Paper on

ragua canal project, as follows:
Every move made in favor of the Nj
caragua canal Is watched with solicit
tude in Hawaii, where there Is no reason
to doubt the good effects of such a wa
terway upon trade and commerce The
expectations of Coast ports. from Seat
tie to San Diego, may not be realized,
but glance at the geography is enough
to convince one that much of the COM
merce which the canal would build up
between the Atlantic Coast of the Unit
ed States and the ports of Japan, China
the Philippines would have to pay

stations in this great ocean, save

situati Is held by these islands, and
from IT,. month on which the canal Is
opened !awaiian values, great as they
already ire, must take the ascending
scale"
There is no doubt that the building
of the proposed waterway will be of
great and lasting benefit to Hawaiian
trade. II will be of direct benefit. in
point of fact, to all the commercial ISL

RUSSIAN GRAIN CROPS.
n Some Provinces 1t Is Satisfactory.
In Others POOr

In Some Provinces 1t is Satisfactory,
In Others Poor.
ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 2O.-The Jour.
nal of Commerce and Industry today
semi officially reports the following re-.
garding the grain crops of European
Russia:
The winter grain is quite satisfactory
in the southwest, where there was sufi-
cient rain in the summer; in the north
Caucasus, Finland and portions of the
western provinces it is above the aver
age; it is not quite satisfactory in the
southeast, that is beyond the Volga and
NartaZofza; it is bad to very bad in the
Volga valley and the provinces adjoining
the Volga valley. Russian Poland and
many districts of the Baltic provinces.
In the other provinces it is about as
usual, with local exceptions.
The summer grain is everywhere
poorer than the winter grain; it is bet.
ter in the southwest than elsewhere, the
entire harvests there being above the
average; it is unsatisfactory and for the
most part bad in the Ural provinces and
the Volga valley; it is satisfactory in the
Don valley, but bad in the west and por-
tions Of the Baltic provinces; in Poland
it is generally goodi in the remainder of
the country it is satisfactory.
The reports fully confirm earlier prog
nOsticatiOns
