thought they should be adopted and
the work gotten under way.
When the motion was open for dis
cussion Alderman at. Large Eckert
asked that the matter be laid over
until the next meeting, he was not
sufficiently acquainted with the plans
to vote upon them. This was agreed
to.
Upon the recommendation of the
Committee on Fire the council decid-
ed to advertise for bids for 500 feet of
hose for Mcclellan Hose Company,
bids to be opened Monday, December

mendations of Chief Comings.

The check is made out with the date
"Nov. 3S, 1905" In one placer is
"$1, 7S5" in another seventeen and
85." The check was on the First
National Bank of this city. When
the fellow was turned away without
the money he felt somewhat chagrined.
He thought it was strange he did not
receive his fortune at once. For the
time being he must have thought this
was q get-rich- quick country, indeed.
The signature on the check is not

this was not time enough to test &

compet1tion and wanted the Barber
people to have chance.

First White Child
BORN
On LaySan Island

The schooner J. II. Lunsmann ar
rived early this morning from Laysan
Island after Il trip of seventeen days.
she made the round trip in lifty-two
days and only brought part Of cargo
back, but considering the fact that the
vessel went to Laysan when the wealth
er sill is very stormy AT that lonely
island, the Lunsmann must be said to
have done rather well.
The Lunsmann left Honolulu March
%. After an uneventful trip she ar
rived at Laysan Island March 81. I'm
mediately after her arrival series OF
universities began. The first night she
was there the windlass broke and
board. This, with the anchor, was
later on recovered by the Laysan Island
people. During her whole stay at Lay
san the Lunsmann was considerably
hampered in her work by strong north
easterly winds and heavy seas, New
ertheless she managed to discharge her
ballast the day after her arrival and
began 10 take on her cargo of guanO
during her first week. Almost every
day mooring line would be carried
away. On one occasion three seven
inch lines carried away in one day. A
week later the same thing happened
again The moorings parted, the wind
lass broke, the chain had TO be I'M
shaCkel and again fOrty-ilye fathoms
of chain were slipped over the side.
These were recovered later on this
occasion the Lunsman had to stand
out to sea and remain for ten days be-
fore the weather Gained down sulil-
ciently to permit her to make fast to
the moorings again.
Finally, on the day before she left
the Lunsmann had another streak Of
hard luck. At $3.50 D. IN. the chain
ed and the mooTing buoy went adrift.
( At $3.50 the same night one OF the aft
moOring lines parted and at H. 80 y. IN.
the other aft mooring line also snapped
SO that the Lunsmann had to hang on
! to one mooring until $50 o'clock the
next morning. when she left.
The Lunsmann got only 100 tons OF
guano on board while she could carry
( 1900 tons, The ship left Laysan Island
on Sunday, April 26, making the pas
sage home in seventeen days.
The officers OF the Lunsmann report
that all is well on Layson Island. A
week before the arrival Of the vessel at
the island. on March "a, the household
of King Schlemmer was blessed by the
arrival OF a young prince, who bears
the distinction OF being the first white
child born in that far-away bit OF
Uncle Sans territory.
The Lunsmann is at present moored
at the railroad wharf, where she will
discharge her cargo.

After a week of close application the

cha chairman of the Board, the othei

At this session the Board adjusted
the assessments Of fifty-fye planta-
lions, besides those of number Of
smaller taxpayers. Mr.. Pratt submit,
ted to the meeting before adjournment
the question OF giving out for publica-
ton the decisions of the Board. His
colleagues were strongly against pub
lcity although on July /, when the as
sessment books are opened, the public
Is by law privileged to inspect tho
whole business.
Mr.. Pratt Is Of opinion that, notwith-
standing the long prevalent depres-
sion, the net results of this years as
sessments will show little II any de-
probation. The Island Of Oahu is re-
gardcd rs an old standby, where the
fluctuations of value are generally self
balancing. For instance. a given piece
Of land may have deprecated. but the
improvements thereon will make u
Counter-balancing appreciation. And
real estate may from special causes be
down in one part of Honolulu and
counteryailingly up in another. With
regard to the other islands. while there
il more uncertainty the situation is not
without balancing factors.
Mr.. Pratt feels satisfied that the
Board OF Equalization has brought the
assessments considered by 1t 10 an
equitable basis. He regarded the work
this year Of particular importance
owing TO the approach OF county gov
