Notice to Hunters.

A handsome litter of puppies, whelp-
ed April 25th, part pointer and part
setter. From personal experience l
have found that this cross makes the
best hunting dog for this country.
They are strong and make good re-
trievers on land or water They have
the advantage over the setter in hav-
ing short hair, so they need not be
clipped when working on pheasants. 1,
myself, have hunted over this breed of
dogs, for the last six years and would
have no other. In color they are solid
liver. Have four dogs left three hav-
ing been sold, Price, $1,000 per dog.

wages average between SIS and $40 a
month.
Governor Dole made the statement
that plantations were not now paying.
Mr. Finley wanted to know if wages
should be higher American labor would
not go there, but Governor Dole said he
was not i'm touch with American labor.
Asked if American colored labor had
been tried, Governor Dole said it had,
but owing in his mind to the fact that
the American negroes sent to the ISL
ands were not taken from the agricul-
tural districts of this country the eXpe-
riment had not been a success. Most
of them landed in jail in a short time"
AS to the cost of producing a ton Of
sugar in the islands Governor Dole
seemed to cause some surprise to MEM
bers of the committee when he stated
that cost was between $50 and $40.
Jurisdiction for right of way in Ha-
wall for irrigation bitches was called up
by Chairman Knox.
Il understand by the press that you
disapprove of a pending bill in Congress
granting right of way for an irriga-
ton company. Is that right?'
Governor Dole explained that in his
opinion it was clear that the territorial
government of the islands had jurisdic-
ton over the matter, and was also in a
better position to judge of the merits
Of such proposition than Congress.
Municipal government for cities and
towns was favored by the governor. A
bill for this purpose, however, had
reached him about two hours before the
Legislature adjourned, which he did not
sign. 81 should have vetoed it, l think,
if it had come to me earlier" he re-
