DELEGATE SAYS GOVERNORS s
VISIT TO WASHINGTON sPOILs
PARKER'S CHANCE.
ARIZONA TO HAVE NATIONAL
LEPER SETTLEMENT.
Bill Apportioning Hawaiian Senators
For Long and Short terms is Likely to
Pass.

The Ventura brought a letter from
Delegate Wilcox to "a friend here, IN
which the delegate discusses Hawaiian
affairs in an interesting way. Wilcox
expresses the opinion that Dole Will re-
main governor, and says regarding the
leprosy bill that kalaupapa is not large
enough for the lepers of the Mainland,
and that a lazarettO will be established
in Arizona The letter is as follows
Il have not been able yet to go to the
House, although l am alright except
that l am not strong enough, but 1 am
picking up very fast. The spring wea-
ther is just commencing, perhaps next
week I will be able to attend to my
Congressional duty.
81 have not called up any of my bills,
except those others l introduced as,
Ditch Bill of Col. Parker, which the
committee has reported favOrably also
the bill relating to our silver dollars
which Senator Foraker has pushed and
passed in the Senate. The appOruon-
ment of our Senators, I think that bill
will be settled next week. Those that
have the lowest votes cast Will be for
the term of two years, while the other
eight for four years. 1 have introduced
two bills according to the desires Of
both parties the fairest one is the one
of your Central committee, Mr.. Cay
pless is attending them.
About the Leper Bill it will be con-
sidered together with another bill of
the same nature by Senator Platt Of
New York We found out lately that
there are lots of lepers in the main
land here and Kalaupapa has not
ground enough for them.s@So thre is
no fear of any leper from here being
taken there They will establish leper
settlement in Arizona under the care OF
the Secretary of the Treasury. l will
try and get this department to defray
the expenses of our lepers too. Our peo-
pie ought not to worry for nothing.
q see the President has called Cover
nor Dole to come here. My opinion of
this coming. is that Colonel Parker will
lose the chance to become the governor
and Dole will be retained till his term
is up. This is the work Of Hartwell and
Carter"

WHAT THE GOVERNOR WILL DO
IN WASHINGTON.
His Visit May be of Great Assistance
in Getting Action on Hawaiian Af-
fairs.

The visit of Governor Dole to Wash
ingtOn will Ue Of great Importance to

Before leaving Governor Dole seuur-

would present to President Roosevelt
the prOpositiya of taking revenue from

Value to the Farmer.


AT the recent meeting Of the Indiana
State Board Of Trade, held at Indian
apolis, a morning session was devoted
TO the subject of Good Roads" The
first speaker was G. w. Sheriff, Of
Muncie, who laid special stress upon
the value Of good roads to the farmer
He spoke Of an old fogy farmer, in
Kentucky, who resisted the building Of
macadamized road through his farm,
and said that IL they forced the build
ing of It he would sell out and leave
the county. He had 2S0 acres of fair
land, only a part under cultivation,
mostly covered with a fine growth Of
poplar timber that up to the time of
building this road II was practically
impossible to market But the road
was built, and, true to his threat, he
did sell out, at $36 an acre. The pur-
chaser of this property sold the timber
for $500 more than the entire farm cost
him. He afterward sold the farm at
$52 an acre. The entire cost to that
farm was a little more than $500. 80
you see," said Mr.. Sheriff. that farm
er No. was penny wise and pound
foolish
"Our farmers" he continued, have
the situation in their own hands. They
can influence legislation that will give
them ample road facilities for market
ing their grain and all the products of
their farms at all seasons Of the year.
Good roads not only give them this,
but save their horses and protract their
lives and their usefulness. They save
in time. A load Of wheat over bad.
road may be excessive at a few hun
dred pounds. and require another day,
to haul TO the market and take many
pounds from his horses flesh and many
days from their lives, whereas good
road may mean several thousand
pounds, one-half days time and flesh
and buoyant horses at night
Good roads add to the enjoyment of
country life The distant church bells
on Sunday morning only cause the
farmer upon bad road to shake his
head, and, with his family to remain
at home How different from the man
upon the other road. \ prancing pair
of horses, happy family All points
are nearer upon a good road, as all are
distant upon a bad one. The time is
rapidly approaching when the whirr Of
the horseless carriage will waken the
echoes in every valley in our land. We
are living in wonderful age. Every
day brings us in contcat with new won
ders. The tramp, tramp Of the magic
feet of progress awakens us in the
morning, and its ringing changing lulls
us to sleep at night. All about us mo-
ton. Our roads must keep pace with
the grand procession"

Pauncefote's Pens.

In the Peace Congress at The Hague
Lord Pauncefote attracted the atten-
ton Of the delegates by taking notes
with a fountain pen, the handle of
which was formed by the shell of a
dumdum bullet. One day the repre-
sentative of foreign power excited
by the heat of the discussion in the
interests of eternal peace, said to him,
sharply:
my lord, it isn't right for you to
use that murderous shell in this con-
gress. The instruments used by per-
sons are almost emblematic. They can
become a part of themselves, an ex-
preston of their ideas and of their
personality
Lord Pauncefote smiled, but said
nothing.
The following day his critic, wanting
TO write something, turned to the Eng.
lish diplomat to borrow a pen. The
ambassador pulled out Of his pocket
an old-fashioned pen made Of a gray
goose quill, and after the borrower had
finished said:
Monsieur, it isn't right for you to
use such an instrument IN this con.
gress. The instruments used by per.
sons are almost emblematic, They can
become a part of themselves, an eX.
preston of their ideas and of their
personality."-Paris lie Gaulois.

Good Roads Arithmetic.

Good roads enthusiasm appears TO
have run away with the arithmetic OF
Supervisor ConbOy. If he is correctly
quoted in Saturdays Commercial. The
public has been given from time TO time
various glowing assurances of the re-
ductlon which could be made in con-
structing highways by using prisoners
from the Jail and the penitentiary.
Supervisor COnboy has got past the
stage of predicting mere economy.
He has now figured it out that the con-
Wet labor plan is going to save the en-
tie cost, so far as the county is con
cerned. This is the way the CONNER
cal quotes him: I'VE have figured
closely and carefully, and do not think
any mistakes will be discovered, The
State appropriates half the money for
these road improvements. The county
supplies the other half. Well we think
we can do the work so cheaply that
the money the State will give MS will
be sufficient to meet all expenses with
out forcing the county to furnish any
money TO meet the half of the entire
cost advanced by the state"
Isn't that clear as city water in May?
The law provides that the State shall
pay half the cost of building roads.
The county, by using convicts, will do
the work for half the cost. Ergo, the
State will be paying it all, and the
county will get its roads for nothing.
A resolution authorizing the purchase
of a stone crushing plant for $4,000 al
ready has been put in through the
Board of Supervisors,
The law provides that the State Engi'
neer may in his discretion award the
contract to the Board of Supervisors
OF the county or the town board OF
boards of the town or towns in which
such highway lies, provided their re-
spective bids do not exceed by ten per
cent. the bid of such lowest responsible
bidder, and except that no contract
shall be awarded at greater sum than
the estimate" What the supervisors
evidently have in mind to do is to MAXI
a bid approaching the States estimate,
say, $1,000 a mile, and then do the
work for half that figure. They think
the State would pay half the contract
price, which would be only half the
real cost, so the county would have
nothing to pay, Even If this rosy
dream of cheapness should be realized
it is a question whether, as the law
reads, the State would not base its
ouota on tho rpnl coSt ingtpnd of
contract price. Buffalo Express

A Very Delicate Touch.

The five senses formed the ground
work Of a little discourse which was
delivered to a busy broker at the cor.
ner of Fourth and Chestnut streets by
"a man to whom time evidently did not
mean money. The broker was pro-
ceeding down the street, when obliged
TO stop at the corner until a trolley car
went by. 1t was at this moment the
theme was broached to him.
1T Is very singular" was the remark
made to him by rather seedy.looking
individual, "how acute some senses be-
come. There are five of them, of
course, but with every one some par
ticular sense is more acute than the
others Just see how carefully that
blind man steers his way along the
crowded street. Now, with me the
best developed sense is that of touch"
The broker looked his man over hur.
riedly again. Meanwhile the car was
clearing the crossing.

stepped down off the curb, but you
can't touch me"-Philadelphia Tele

An Ancient Crematorinm.

What the absent-minded old lady
called creamery has just been dis
covered near Reading, says the West
minister Gazette Twenty urns, con
tanning calcined human bones, have
been unearthed at Sunningdale, near
Camberley. A mound was being re
moved in the construction of golf links,
when three urns were discovered. I'm.
der the direction Of Mr.. A. c. Shrub.
sole, II. G. S, curator Of the geological
and anthropological department Of the
Reading museum, further search was
made, and seventeen more were
brought to light. 1t is believed by
competent authorities that the mound
was the site of an ancient crematorium
probably a battleground-in preRo.
man days. Some of the urns are one
foot four inches in diameter. They are
Of ancient British make, and may safe.
ly be ascribed to the time before Brit
ain came under the Roman influence.
1t is estimated that the burials must
have taken place between 2000 and
5000 years ago. Some of the urns have
been sent to the British Museum, the
Reading Museum, to Oxford and to the
Louvre, Paris
