Senator Isenberg replied hotly to the
remarks of Senator McCandless. He
objected to the aspersions cast upon
the committee and the expert He said
the committee had employed the best
engineering expert in the country to
investigate, better than Mr.. McCand-
less. even. He said the expert might
charge 800 for his services, and if the
committee didn't pay it, he himself
would. And now he doubts what we
have done" continued Isenberg, and
says that we haven't done our duty.
and that the expert didn't know what
he is talking about. I want it strictly

FOR SPECIAL coMM1TrEE.

Paele moved to refer the bill to a spe-
cial committee, and Kumalae, after
seconding it, went into long argument
opposing the eminent domain features
and likewise the provision that the
company might ever combine with an
other, which he said would be trust
and that would be contrary to Republi-
can principles
Fernandez argued for the bill, telling
how fine was the service. extolling the
secrecy feature, and denouncing the
present central system.
Kalama said he was opposed to allow
ing the Standard Company to reach
Maui, as they have a good company
there He said the Standard Company

amendment the striking out of all ref

BECKLEY MAKES FIGHT.
Speaker Beckley took the floor to say

the corporation could purchase the

Transit had this privilege and bought
$3.50 Tramway shares. Today there are
no mule cars on King street He said
he believed in competition, as there
might be better service for the people. |
He said he was opposed to any priv |

Senator MeCandless opposed the rail-
reading of the bill through. He said
the purchase would cost the Territory
81, 500 more in interest than the water
rates now being received. The Kalihi

tricts if a reservoir was built. The

The Public Spirit

The fellow who is all the time SO
powerfully afraid that he will do a
little more for a common cause
than his neighbor, will never do
the public very much good. Ii
you should happen to do a little
more than pay your school tax by
giving a lift in fixing up our Acad-
envy and making it an attractive
place. an honor to the town and
county, you would be lending
your hand to that which would be
for your country's good, and it
would meyer hurt you. Could it
be possible that Monterey citizens
lack enterprise? Might it not be
probable that they have been so
diligent in their own, individual
vacations that they have allowed
selfshness to spring up, flourish
and grow, to the detriment of that
which we term public spirit, public
enterprise, that which is for the
public good as we'll as for the in
0iyidual?

Sangi Ogawa

Sangi Ogawa, the son of a Japa-
nese gentleman of wealth and high
standing, was converted to christi
anitv under the influence of Mrs D..
w Lam berth, one of the early mis-
sionaries sent to the East by the nj
Z Church, South. More than a
year ago he resigned position IN
the government service Of Japan
and came to America to secure ed
ucational equipment for the work
of the christian ministry among
his own people. Since his father
who is Buddhist, refuses to help
HIM. he is trying to meet the ex-
pense of his education himself. he
spent the summer Of 1902 in SELL
ing Bibles in parts of West Vir-
ginia and Maryland and was last
session student in Randolph
Macon College, where he supple
mented his small resources by chop
ping wood and by services as jani-
tor in halls used for literary and
religious purposes. BY his excel
lent character, diligent work. and
striking success as a student he
won the high regard of the faculty
and students of the college. He
lived for some time i'll the homes
of mem bers of the faculty and is
warmly commended by the Presi-
dent of the College. He has high
testimonials likewise from Bishop
Granbery and from missionaries III
in Japan. He has been at work in
the Valley of Virginia this summer,
but will spend a few weeks In
Highland before college opens
again. His friends have thought
that his race, his conversion to
christianity. and his purpose in life
might so commend him to the peo.
pie of Highland that many of them
would be pleased to see him and
hear him tell the story of his con-
version, speak Of the religious needs
of his native land, or discuss certain
features Of life in Japan. 1t is
suggested, too, that to many Of our
people it would be privilege not
only to see and hear but also to
help this young man, in whom liv-
ing proof of the value of mission
ary effort is brought from the far
East to our doors. EIt has been pro-
posed, therefore, that MIR Oga.wa
might, for a small admission fee,
ten cents. for example. give lectures
at Doe Hill, Mcdowell, Monterey
and perhaps at other places on
such subjects as those mentioned
above. His full japanese costume
would no doubt add interest to
these occasions.

A Summer Hotel One of the Great
Needs of rlonterey

Can't you folks who haye money
see that it is a safe place for some
Of it? Under the very unfavorable
circumstances that now exist, sew
eral city people have, by accident
discovered Monterey, and from
what we can learn Of their opinion
Of the place, they are delighted'
with its location, climate and other
natural advantages that go to make
up the ideal summe place, and that
all that is keeping many others from
coming here instead of going to
the crowded resorts, is the lack Of
facilities for caring for them.
They come a few now and then,
as it is; how would it be il we had

For The Recorder Family

I am sorry to learn that this
family does not embrace every
family in Highland county If
the people would realize how much
they loose by not taking Their
paper, | am sure this would not
long be so. And surely the same
must be said as to our religious
condition. We pride ourselves on
our hospitality, and justly so, for
I do not think Highland can be
surpassed along that line. have
visited, in the past two months,
236 white families and 3 colored
families, and found less than 0,
that manifested the least want OF
courtesy or hospitality. But .!
how many Cbristless homes? Here
is our religious condition, in these
white homes we nave a population
of 7l5 adults and 500 children OF
these we have 400 church members
as follows: 1853 VI. Il. s., IL III. T.,
90 Presbyterian, 20 Lutheran, ID
Ger. baptist, 10 United Brethren;
9 I'd Advents, and 3 Baptists. And
800 adults, and 256 children in our
Sunday School.
This leaves a little over two
thirds of this number out OF any
church, without God and without
hope. And less than half i'll any
S. S. work.
In the 3 colored families we have
u adults and 10 children; church

The Wheat Crop On the Buiipas.
ture,

Last year, it will be remembered,
was a particularly hard one on the
farmers of the Bullpasture valley.
The wheat and hav crops, on ac-
count of drouth, were almost entire
failures.
AS early as September some PEG
ple had to commence feeding theil
stock. because of the short pastur'
age after the light hay crop wa;
taken off. As to the wheat crop il
is SAID by a farmer Of that section
that scarcely 1000 bushels were
threshed in the valley from Doe
Hill to Williamsville. The same
farmer placed an estimate on the
crop Of this year in the same terri
tory, and places it at 10000
bushels.
With good hay crop and corr
and buck wheat and oats coming OF
nicely, and this state of things pre-
yaiiing, we believe, generally
throughout the county, Highlan'
