MY VIEWLETS.
j. f. CONRAD.

| have noticed this: that the fellows
who seem to be the most worked up
for fear the bond holders will not re-
ceiVe every cent that is coming to
them in the highest priced money that
this country affords, and who are so
fearful that the integrity of this coun-
try is going to be injured by the pay
ment of debts with a fifty-cent dollar,
are generally the first ones to take the
benefit Of the bankrupt law.

Now it seems to me that it would be
a sensible thing to take the two dol
lars a thousand tariff off of lumber,
and give our forests a chance; but
that would be English free trade; and
to advocate it would be mighty near
as bad as splitting at the flag.

situated in Iowa county, and counties
adjoining. Read over the annexed list
and see if it does not contain something
that you want. Besides a number of
farms have been placed with us which
are not described therein. Now is your
opportunity to secure a farm at a reason
able price. Farm property has advanced
greatly during the past year, and especial
ly during the last few months. Not
withstanding this fact, farms are still
offered at fair prices.
If you contemplate buying farm you
cannot buy too soon, as the eagerness
with which the blue grass lands are being
sought after indicates that prices will still
90 higher.

When you get so you can't hear
your feet light on the sidewalk, don't
try to take more than another one.

When you're walking along the
street and every person you meet
looks like some one you've met be-
fore, it's a good time to inquire the
road home.

If you get up in the morning and
put on one shoe, and then pick up the
other one and look at the sole of it to
see which foot it goes on, you.d better
go up the river and fish awhile before
going to work.

WILL MEET
WITH EUSTIS
COMMITTEE TO MEET FEDERAL
BUILDING COMMISSIONER THIS
AFTERNOON-HIL BUILDING.

The committee on federal sites and
buildings will hold a conference with
Special Commissioner Eustis this af-
ternoon at o'clock in the office of the
chairman, l.. A. Thurston, in the Stan
genwald building. Mr.. Eustis is in
hopes of getting away on the steamer
that leaves here on December % If he
can satisfactorily accomplish every
thing by that time. He cordially ap-
proves of the site selected by the resi-
dents of Hilo for their federal build
ing. While on the big island he visit
ed George c. Hewitt, manager of
Hutchinson Plantation, and paid call
at the volcano, which however was not
very active.
Il had a most enjoyable trip" said
Mr.. Eustis. THE rainy city did not
show any particular reasons for that
appellation. We had some rain but not
very much. l think the site agreed up
on by the Hilo people for general
federal building an excellent one. l
cannot but feel that the national gov
ernment should be very liberal with
Hawaii with it's advanced civilization,
Improvement making citizens, big re-
sources and large custom house trade
We are to have a meeting this after
noon and l trust that we can soon set
tie the matter up. The sooner it is
completed the more chance there is of
speedy return from Congress, and L
hope that l can get away on Tuesday
next, when l shall hurry to Washington
with all speed.
II have heartily enjoyed my visit
here in this new territory with its pro-
gressive community, beautiful sur
roundings and climate that makes it
dimcuit for a Mnneapolite to believe
that Christmas is coming. l shall leave
here with hearty regret and the hope
that Congress will see the question of
appropriations in as liberal a light as
1 do"

PROGRESO VICTIM
WAS KNOWN HERE
HOWARD DOVE, KILLED IN AN
ACCIDENT AT SAN FRANCISCO,
WORKED FOR INTER-ISLAND.

One of the victims of the oil explos-
ion aboard the IS. S. Progreso at San
Francisco, December 3, was well known
in local shipping circles. He was How
ard Dove and up to a couple of months
ago was second mate aboard the steam
er Ke Au Hou of the Inter-Island fleet.
w. ID. Sloan, who was first mate
aboard the Progreso at the time of the
explosion, was also well known to Off
GERS of the Inter- Island fleet, as he was
on the steamer Ke Au Hou and Wal
aleale before going to- the coast. Sloan
escaped death. v
Iittle appears to be known in San
Francisco regarding Dove. He had
shipped as seaman the day before the
fatal explosion. Sloan had been en-
plOyed longer aboard the vessel. At
the time of the explosion, Dove in COM
pany with two other seamen who had
shipped at the same time with him,
were all killed instantly, it is thought.
Their bodies We're later recovered from
the bottom of the bay.
First Mate Sloan had a narrow escape
and thought his end had come.
Il was blown down off the bridge
deck" said he. The force of the eX-
plosion was terrific. Fortunately l
started aft with the captain when it
came. My reckoning OF the crew is
twenty-five men. l think there are AT
least twenty-five men lost below, in-
Guiding those from the works. Joseph
FeX, Charles Glen and Howard Dove,
seamen, were killed. Glen was a ma
tive of Philadelphia and lived here
with his brother, but Dove was
stranger here"
Both Sloan and Dove were young
men. They came on the S. S. California
some Tonths ago on her first trip from
New York. Dove was second mate of
her and Sloan was third mate. They
left the vessel al Honolulu and both
securel employment with the Inter
Island fleet. Sloan was second mate
on botl the Waialeale and Ke Au Hou.
Sloan left the employ of the local COM
pany and worked up to Seattle as mate
of the S. S. Tampico and evidently
went to San Francisco. Dove left here
about two and half months ago work.
ing his way to the Coast on a vessel.
Sloan was from New England. Dove
was a native of Maine and is thought
to have a sister living in that state.

TRYING TO SAVE
TANBARA'S NECK
HE DENIES THAT HE EVER CON-
FESSED AND HIS COUNTRYMEN
WANT A REPRIEVE.

Local Japanese interested in Tanbara
Gisaburo have now decided that they
would like to appeal his case, as Tan
bara has made denials to those who
have been allowed to see him, that he
ever confessed to having killed Captain
Jacobsen of the schooner Fred j. Wood.
The time for an appeal has passed,
however, unless Governor Dole wants
to interfere and order a repieve, to stop
the hanging next Friday.
The only way of appeal in the case
was by writ OF error, and this requires
papers from the Mainland. No papers
were sent forward, as the Japs who
proposed to help Tanbara to appeal
withdrew their efforts in his behalf
when they We're informed that he had
admitted that he did the killing. The
Japanese consul ceased to offer any as
sistance on the ground that he was not
fighting to clear a murderer who was
admittedly guilty. During the last few
days Tanbara has told the ministers
and others that he never confessed and
is innocent, and the japanese inquired
of United States Attorney Breckons
as to how they could take an appeal.
Governor Dole is away, but can BE-
reached by wireless telegraph if neces-
sary. He has the power to grant re-
prieVe subject to the approval of Pre-
sident Roosevelt, and it would be effec-
tive until Roosevelt was heard from,
but neither Judge Estee nor District
Attorney Breckons would approve an
application for a reprieve, as they are
convinced of Tanbara's complete guilt.
1t is too late for Governor Dole to come
to Honolulu in time anyhow, but the
signature of his secretary, under his
instructions by telegraph, would be
recognized.
Tanbaras confession was made to
Mrs. Jacobsen, widow of the murdered
captain. After the trial and just be-
fore she left for San Francisco Mrs
Jacobsen asked to be allowed to see
Tanbara again, and ask him why lie
had killed her husband. In that inter-
view the murderer admitted to the wi
dow that he had struck the blow that
instantly He'd the captain, and p,eade
as an excuse that he had not thought
that a stab in the stomach would prove
fatal.
Arrangements are practically COM
plete for the hanging and there is
thought to be little chance of delaying
it. Both Christian and Buddhist min
listers are allowed to see the condemned
man.

Hongkong will be the home port of
the new line. The route will be from
Hongkong to various Chinese and Jap
anese Eorts, thence down to Honolulu,
finally touching at Guaymas, Mexico.
The return trip will be made from Gu
aymas to San Francisco and will prob
ably leave out Honolulu, the usual Jap
anese and Chinese ports being touched
at however on the trip home.
The new company will not own ves-
1els but will charter steamships. Ne
gotiations have been closed whereby
several steamships of the white
Funnel line will be secured. These
vessels are reported to be very fine
boats of about 5000 to 5000 tons in size
and especially fitted as carriers of
large number of steerage passengers
and freight. They are also provided
with fine first class passenger accom-
modations. The new line will, it is ex-
pected, inaugurate the service next
March and thereafter maintain a
monthly schedule.
The advent of the new line is of much
Importance to Honolulu. The line will
also be apt to cut considerable figure
In the Mexican business of the Pacific
Mail Japs and Chinese as we'll as pas
sengers and freight to this port are
also to be handled by the company on
Its outward run. The new line will fly

ISSUSHALNEDBY
TAX APPEAL
COURT
Is Declared to Have the Right
Under the Income Tax law
to Deduct Value of Abandon-
ed Mill,

The Tax Appeal Court today render
ed its. decision in the appeal of the Ha-
waiian Commercial and Sugar Com
pany from Assessor Pratts ruling as
to income tax. The court sustains the
appeal, and rules in favor of allowing
the company to deduct $270, ,444.72 from
its return for income tax, for loss
es incurred by reason of it's hav-
ing been compelled to remove it's
mill from Spreekelsville to Pun
nene The decision saves the COM
pany over $4,000 in taxes If the Su-
preme Courut takes the same view, on
appeal.
The companys appeal was based on
claim that it had a right to deduct
from its income as 'losses incurred
during the year" according to the
term of the income tax law, the sum
of $2IO,44472, claimed as losses be-
cause the old mill had been abandoned,
with railroads leading to it, and a new
one had been installed. The courts de-
clSion finds that prior to December l,
lSOl the company was the owner of a
mill and buildings at Spreckelsville be-
ing a nine-roller mill, making 14O to $50
tons of sugar or 175 tons at the high
est in "A hours. Owing to increase of
cultivated area the site became incon-
venient. A new mill was erected at
Puunene, miles from the old site. hav-
ing capacity of 300 tons in "a hours.
with possibility of increase to 450
tons. The old buildings We're abandon
ed and were of no use. Residences,
shops warehouses and a railroad sys-
tenn of so miles of track also became
worthless, except as old material. The
sum of $ll,695.79 was received from the
sale of the old mill and $14, 596.54 from
the old railroad. The acts of the COM
pany were done in good faith says the
decision, pursuant to business require
ments.
1T can hardly be questioned that a
mill destroyed by fire or other natural
cause was loss,' says the court, even
though new and superior one OF
greater capacity was built and the val
ue Of The whole estate enhanced. But
other causes than natural ones might
operate more or less effectually to nee
essitate a new mill: In the case before
the court business necessity is indi~
Gated. Good management and the full
er development of the appellants prop
erty required the abandonment of the
old properties and the construction of
new and the large amount exnended
in so doing, as shown by the evidence

New Steamers

AS the result of a recent treaty be-
tween China and Mexico, a new line of
steamships operating between Oriental
ports and Mexican ports via Honolulu
and San Francisco will be inaugurated
for the operation of the
new company have not been entirely
completed, but it is thought that the
line will be running by next March.
j. S. Van Buren, Who Mas formerly
the agent of the o. and o, s. S. Com
pany at Hongkong, passed through Ho-
nolulu yesterday on the s. S. Coptic
en- route to San Francisco and Mexico
in the interests of the new company.
He resigned his position with the o.
and o. company to become general
manager of the new line.
Until recently, Chinese were not per-
mitted to enter Mexico freely, but a
treaty has been concluded whereby the
Celestials are to be allowed free entry
The new steamship company has been
inaugurated for the prlnipal purpose of
carrying Chinese emigrants from Chi
nese ports to Mexico. Closer CONNER
cial relations are also to be establish
ed between Mexico and China, but it
will not be upon this part of the trade
that the company will depend for pro-
fit. The emigrant will prove the prin-
cipal source of revenue for some years
to come.

j. $ s. IROQUOIS
DOES THE
JOB
Affixed off Sans Souci Where
the Cable Ship and Ocean
Line Stop and Land Line
Begins,

Acting upon a telegrap'Sesa..re request
from Captain Ward of the Pacific Gable
company, Captain Rodman of the Unit
ed States tug Iroquois made a special
trip this morning off Sans Souci and
there placed barrel buoy to guide the
cable laying Ship Silverton on her ar
rival from San Francisco.
The buoy is painted white and was
anchored with a 300 pound shackle. 1t
was placed exactly at the spot off Sans
Souci where the cable ship will bring
the end of the ocean cable. The spot
is between the regular anchorage
grounds and the reef and is directly off
the cable station landing and just in
line with the little channel along which
the cable will be brought ashore. Kapua
is the name of the place where the buoy
was placed
The people aboard the Silverton will
recognize the buoy at once as the
color of the buoy and general location
of the buoy are known to thems
The work of threading the land wire
through the conduits is about complet-
ed with the exception of the work of
completing the splices of the ends of
the various sections. This work will
require about five days more.
A fine new launch for the use of the
commandant of the local naval station
dITlNSu yesterday Oll the hawai- lIdIlS-
port Solace from Mare Island. The
launch is 40 feet in length and is known
as a torpedo launch. 1t can be equip
ped with a torpedo and in small way
might prove quite serViceable. She
will be able to make between 10 and
II knots an hour. The launch has
nothing what ever to do with the tug
Iroquois but is sent for the special use
of the commandant of the station.
Captain ROdman the recruiting officer
ait the local naval station has decided to
send five men on the Solace to the Asia
tic station. One of them is Robert the
native boy who was the first Hawaiian
to enlist at the local naval station.
A committee consisting of j. A. Ken
nedy and Captain Fuller will wait on
Captain ROdman this afternoon for the
purpose of consulting with him on be-
half Of Commissioner Eustis regarding
the location for lighthouses and placing
OF buOys etc about these islands Cap
tain Rodman secured all of this data
when he cruised about the islands max
ing his survey for the purpose of re-
writing sailing directions for the group.
lie has already made report on the
subject of the location of these light
houses and buoys and the information
is in the hands of the Washington Off
cials.

BROUGHT MUCH FREIGHT.
Many Christmas Deicacies From Ha-
wall Arrive Today.


The steamer Mauna Loa arrived this
morning from Lahaina, Maalaea, Kona
and kau ports with probably the big
gest lot of freight in her history. She
was the Christmas" boat for the peo-
pie on the western coast OF Hawaii and
certainly every body over there seemed
to have consignment of some charac-
ter to send to Honolulu. There were
lS5 pigs loose and many more sent in
crates, turkeys were to be found by the
scores and so were chickens. There
were not less than 400 packages of sun
dries on the freight list in addition to
nearly 10000 sacks of sugar.
Purser Willie Simerson was nearly
driven out OF lis senses this morning by
the dozens OF people who were after
their goods. zone of my pigs has got
out of the crate" exclaimed one indi-
vidual; "Oh Willie what did you do
with that other chicken, tn ere are only
eleven in this crate" Say Mr.. Purser I
have friend in Kona who promised to
send some n c. fresh eggs for Christ mas
egg-nogs, did you bring them?"
The vessel encountered rather rough
weather along the Kau coast and the
weather was not good along Kona. 1he
vessel is now discharging sugar into the
bark r. F. Rithet on one side and get
ting rid of miscellaneous freight on the
other. The Mauna Lea is lying at the
Oceanic wharf. The steamer will sail
next Tuesday on her regular run. Chief
steward Ben Pangelina has promised
Captain Simerson the very finest
Christmas feast that the markets along
the steamer route afford.
