that had been used In the kitchen to
open tin cans and placed this in the
bathing room and told Woods he could
get 1t to file his way out of prison.
Well Woods could not have filed his
way out in year with that particular
file but the incident showed that will
liams was scamp and we gave him
the ball and chain. Then he promised
us to be good and as IA result we took
off his ornaments. A few days after
wards he made the run for liberty at
Makiki.
Now out OF 237 prisoners here only
two had the ball and chain at the time
the men attempted to escape. That
shows that there must be something
radically wrong with those men who
had 1t.
LAS to the statement concerning the
plot to secure guns l believe that the
story was correct We had discharged
sailor and the fact that the three
negroes ran in the direction of the tree
spoken of shows that they evidently
expected something there"
A few moments later the Warden is
sued instructions to permit reporter
to see Woods. The negro was in a
darkened cell and when the heavy steel
door of this swung back the negro
seemed pleased to meet an outsider.
Hello Woods" said the reporter
How do you do"
The reporter explained who he was
and Woods then rapidly spoke of his
troubles:
The reason ] tried to get away at
Makiki was because / get moods once
in a while and then / make II hum.
They say | have a lot of friends outside
who want to get me a pardon. Well,
don't believe in the pardon. Those
people do powerful lot of talking but
nothing else They amt no pardon
coming and / guess can't use that way
to get out OF prison. No, haven't got
anything special against Warden Henry
or the guards but you just let me catch
that Maui judge mapping and I'll do
some business. They cant stow Woods
away quite so easy. I've got the right
on my side and I'll show the people
who put me In prison. 1t was not a
fair thing and 1 have fairer right TO
even 1t up"
When asked IL he intended to go right
on making escapes or attempts at them
he only laughed. Solitary confinement
viii not soften Woods much. His will Is
as hard as steel.
All around the prison the other con-
victs seemed satisfied with conditions
prevailing and Warden Henry pointed
out this fact and then wished to draw
the attention of critics to the fact that
he really had bad men" who required

WANTS HER DOVER.

A petition 20 admeasure dover has
been filed by W. X. Castle who IL trus-
tee Of the estate OF Hiram kolOmoku
Pahau. The petitioner recites that Pa
hau left widow and six children. and
his estate has not been administered
upon for family reasons. and on ac-
count of a growing diversity OF inter-
ests IL became daily more difficult to
adjust such interests. Finally a trust
deed was made by which the property
was conveyed to W. X. Castle with or
ders to sell IL. excepting the Kawaiahao
homestead.
The proceeds Of such sale amounted to
Si.s26. 1t is further set out that Henry
Pahau, Jr., conveyed his interest in
his fathers estate to the American
Board of Foreign Missions for $3.50 but
that his widow did not convey her dow
er interest In the property. Pahau the
younger, has also since died and his
widow married Stephen Mahaula and
she now wants her dover. Using the
tables of dover petitioner says that the
widow is entitled to 1929 and that he has
offered her $2S5 but she demands $4l5
The petitioner asks for a citation, that
the widow may be brought into court
and her dover admeasured.

LUMBER TO BE HIGHER
THAN EVER NEXT YEAR

a prominent north Wisconsin lum-
herman visiting in this city, makes
the prediction that lumber will be
much higher next year than it has
been in the past, says the Winona
Independent.
THE principal reason said he, sis
that the large cuts of timber in. pre-
vious years has pretty nearly ex-
hausted the pine numbering resources
of that section of the country, and
the conditions all tend to make the
cutting and marketing of lumber
much more expensive than formerly
and the price of lumber must, there
fore, naturally advance. The big
cuts have done away with the big
supplies in close proximity TO water
courses and railroads, and from this
time on the greater portion of the
logs will have to be hauled on rail
roads constructed expressly for that
purpose.
The indications are that there
will be good cut this winter and
big haul by rail into Ashland, Wash
burn and Superior, but every sue
ceeding winter sees the available pine
receding and n much longer haul re-
quired to get the logs to the mill.
THE weather up to the present
time has been all that could be desir-
ed for logging, and there is about six
or eight inches of snow in the woods
of northern Wisconsin, which, with
reasonably cold weather, is all that
is necessary, although n little more
would be better. Nowadays all log
l. 10.
are in excellent condition. thus great
ly facilitating the work, and the cut
has got an excellent start.
"a comparison of the figures in eX-
penses this year with those of few
years back shows great increase.
Transfers, swampers, choppers, saw
yers and chain tenders are paid $50
to $50 a month and board this win
ter. Leaders are getting S35 and $40.
blacksmiths 500, while cooks are hard
to obtain at sos a month. Five years
ago cooks received $40 and less
month. blacksmiths $35. transfers
$40. swampcrs $13, choppers $14, lead
ers $50, graders $13, and chaintendcrs
SIC.
"All supplies used by lumbermen
have also advanced greatly during
the past five years. probably to the
extent of IS pr cent. which in itself
accounts for a certain percentage of
the advance in the price of lumber.
The coming year promises quite
building boom. and this, with the adj
ded cost of labor AMI supplies, is suf-
fIcient reason for the prediction that
lumber prices will materially in
crease early in the new year"

W. S. Cleveland's big "tip-top" min
streI and polite" vaudeville company
which is now booking it's western tour
is without doubt the hes combination
of merit and amusement that has
ever been put together for a road tour.
The run of two hundred and fifty per-
formances in Chicago, at advanced
prizes the most phenomenal ever
known in minstrelsy, testifies to the
high character of the Cleveland enter
tainiments and good criterion to go
by in judging it's merits. Mr.. Cleve-
land has made numerous trips
throughout the entire country and his
shows have always been the standard
from which all oilers were patterned.
But in this seasons aggregation he
has set a mark that will be Impossible
for the little fellows and his many
imitators TO reach. His minstrel first
part includes the cream of the world
of burnt cork and merrilnent and all
the popular comedians and noted vo-
calists of the day are included in his
company. The songs rendered are
the latest and many of them eXclu-
siye, having been written for the es-
them. The jokes, gags, and cross
fire repartee are all up-to-the second
and exceedingly funny and enjoyable.
In his olio very act presented is one
which is a feature act of the best
theatres of America and Europe. No
second class or minor turns arc al
lowed on his bill and everything seen
is a "headliner'' of he best possible
character. During the balance of the
season this company will make
tour of he middle west and north
west, including in it's route Wiscon7
sin. Minnesota, South Dakota. Iowa,
Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois
and a few of the more important
towns of the adjoining states. This
is the first important minstrel-vaude-
vile show that has visited the sec
ton indicated for three years and il
will doubtless receive welcome of
which it is worthy.

good dancing galore, with clever fun,
fast and furious from start TO finish,
and many genuine new jokes. Boyle
has a Sousa speciality which is eX-

LIGHTNING STRIKES.
furious Facts Collected BY the United
Weather Bureau.

The United States Weather Bureau has
published the results of statistics which
1t has gathered during the past decade
relative to the deaths by lightning in the
United States, and while the figures are
of doubtful practical utility. they are
certainly of considerable interest The
old question used to be how to protect
building against MISUNDERSTANDING rods
or none, solid rods or hollow rods and on
the latter point men like Faraday and
Sir William Snow Harris took opposite
sides and waxed wroth. each telling the
other he knew nothing about the sub
ject. Today little or no attention is
given to this matter, and 1t is generally
realized that as regards where lightning
will strike we must all take our chance,
which. according to the statistics re-
ferred to, are about one In 100000 of be-
ing struck. The old idea that lightning
will never strike twice in the same place
has been pretty well exploded by the
actual facts. and there is reason to as
sumo that II lightning strikes a given
point once II may be expected at some
other contiguous place. The theory of
lightning Is now fairly well established.
It is supposed to be due to the rapid con-
densation Of the minute drops of moist
ure In the air, each of which. under GER
tain conditions, contains a small cleo
trfc charge. AS these minute drops Goa
lessee the electric potential Is increased.
due to the fact that the total superficial
area of the coalesced drops is less than
twice that when they existed singly and,
as the electric capacity is proportional
TO this area the electric charge of the
two drops is now confined within an area
of less capacity than before, with the re-
suit that the electric pressure is In
creased. In this way long before the
drops have attained a size 20 be precipi-
tated as rain. an electromotive force
amounting to millions of volts Is de-
veloped. While there is no certain i'm
munity from lightning. when II prevails,
attention is called to the great desirable
ity OF preserving in efforts to resusci-
tate those who have been rendered insen-
sible by lightning strokes. as recoveries
have repeatedly been made of persons
supposed TO be dead, after more than an
hours effort. The statistics also show
that there is no immunity from light
ming In a feather bed, In q house or in a
closet and that knives and the like do not
attract lightning. For those who are in
hsrentiy dreadful Of lightning the only
comforting suggestion that can be offer
Cd Ia to remember that II one lives to
zee the fash he Is safe for that time!-
