COUNTY GOVERNMENT LAW.

1t is absurd to suppose that the coun-
ty law, if it is vulnerable, can be saved
from attack by a political ag-eeinent.
The first citizen who suffers from its
effects will have the right and the in
oentive to challenge 1t in court and lis
chances of winning, as Mr.. Cooper did
In his attack on the part creating a
Board of Public Institutions, will not
be impaired by any special enthusiasm
for the new law among politicians and
office-holders. The question simply is
whether we are going to have the Su-
preme Court pass upon the County Act
sooner or later.
There are some good public reasons
why 1t should be sooner. From what
we hear of the personnel of county
government in East Hawaii and of the
malign influences which lay behind the
election of a Home Ruler for District
Attorney of Kauai, those counties are
IN for season of political misfortune
No doubt Maui, before it gets through,
VIII wish it had never heard of county
government. In view of these facts
and probabilities, if the County Gov
eminent law is not good law, a service
might be done good government by
proving the fact now.

OIL FOR ROADS.

The experiment now being made on
the Waikiki road with oil as substi-
tute for water, although not yet COM
pleted. gives every promise of being
successful. While of course there are
some Objectionable features to the
use of the crude petroleum as a street
dressing, they are not of such a ma
ture as to entirely initiate against
further experiments on the same line.
Not only Is oil better, but it is also
less expensive, for laying the dust on
streets, than the use of water and the
sprinkling cart. One dressing OF oil
is expected to be sufficient to keep the
street in a dustless condition for a
year, while the watering carts with
their almost hourly visits soon become
very much of nuisance. While the
first cost of the oil Is of course greater,
in the end it is the much more econo-
mical method of caring for the streets.
saying both in labor and in the con-
slant drain on the water supply.
The Waikiki road will probably be
carried through to completion before
any further tests are made by the
Public Works Department. From the
King street intersection, for a distance
of probably half a mile, the road has
been treated to a layer of well rolled
broken stone, sprinkled with oil, which
has then been covered with a layer of
gravel, the whole being rolled into one
compact mass. The odor from the top
dressing is disagreeable and the oil
is said to have an injurious effect upon
rubber tires, but as an antidote to the
dust, the oil certainly has no equal.
Until the value of oil has been fully
demonstrated on Waikiki road how
ever, no further experiments will be at
tempted.

FACTS ABOUT GEO. R. CARTER.
CONTINUED from page IL

When Mr.. Carter left here in 1889.
with the idea of never returning, Judge
Dole was at the steamer and bidding
him goodbye, made the remark,
George, my boy, some day you will
be glad to come back to Hawaii" Re-
ferring to this incident after his NOM
ination for Governor by President
Roosevelt, Mr.. Carter said: Il came
back in October, 1895, just in time for
the cholera. After being here a wear
L wondered why in the name of COM
mon sense l had stayed away so long
as l had" on returning he at first
went into the office of c. Brewer 4 Co.,
Ltd, as cashier and bookkeeper. AS
his father and p. C. Jones had been
partners it was the ambition of the lat
ter's son, Ed. a. Jones. and Carter to
form partnership and blend their for
tunes as their fathers had done. They
accordingly started the Hawaiian Safe
Deposit Co. The untimely death of
young Jones stopped that plan, but the
company was finally merged into the
Hawaiian Trust Co., Ltd.
Mr.. Carter managed the corporation
just named until February %. 1908,
Washington's birthday. when he took
the office of Secretary of the Territory
upon the appointment by President
Roosevelt, confirmed by the U. S. Sem
ate on January 20.
HIS RELATIONS WITH ROOSE-
WELT.
Some time before his acceptance of
that office, Mr., Carter was more than
surprised one day to receive letter
from President Roosevelt saying that
he wanted Carter's assistance in reach
ing conclusion as to what was best
to be done for Hawaii The President
desired him to sit down and write to
him fully as to the situation here, Mr.
Carter concluded that such a request
could only be responded to in person.
Therefore he went to Washington.
What the President wanted to know
was whether Hawaii could be carried
for the Republican party. Mr.. Carter
told him he thought 1t could, that the
removal of Governor Dole would not
affect the question and that he could
see no grounds for his removal. He
thought that the Presidents only
course was to support Dole and to sup
port him vigorously The interview re-
suited in Governor Dole being called
to Washington, when the President de-
clared he would support him to the end
of his administration.
on Mr.. Carriers return from Wash
ington he was made treasurer of the
Republican Territorial Committee and
did what he could to bring about what
the President had required so solicit
tously. Wilcox was defeated by 1910
votes.
President Roosevelt nominated Geo
r. Carter as Governor OF the Territory
of Hawaii on October 81, 1903.

story of an Animal That Has More
Than Its share.

Only those who are unfamiliar with
animals doubt that they have a sense
of humor. Jimmy is lively road
horse who has ideas of his own and
very original conceptions Of what is
amusing. One day the children had
erected small tent on the lawn and
sat within it drinking lemonade and
playing that they were banditti. jim
my walked softly up to the side Of the
tent and slowly inserted his nose
through convenient slit, says Our
Dumb. Animals. Eyes and ears fol
lowed and, his head once within at the
back of the unsuspicious jewellers, jim
my gave one tremendous sneeze of that
kind which is half snort.
The banditti fell back in every direc-
ton, and the horse withdrawing from
the tent, laughed silently to himself be-
fore going back TO his grass cropping
Jimmy's favorite amusement is that OF
scattering flock of sheep. When he is
feeding with them in the pasture, he
suddenly stops eating and then dashes
among them, sending them scudding
over the hillside. Then he stands watch
ing them until they again settle to their
nibbling and after a short luncheon of
his owl. repeats the pleasing diversion
Although this horse is the gentlest crea'
ture in the world, it pleases him ex-
ceedlngly to frighten any one who has
shown timidity in his presence
Jimmy's two mistresses harness him
without trouble or danger, but he de-
lights in alarming one girl cousin who
visits at the house. Sundry iidgetings
and nervous starts of her own were
enough TO show Jimmy of what man
ner and temperament she was, and he
is merciless in taking advantage OF
that knowledge. If she enters the sta
BILE where he stands accepting the har-
ness in the most docile manner, he
opens his mouth, showing wicked
row of teeth, and makes feint of snap
ping at her. She shrieks, his mistress
scolds and reasons with him, and jim
my apparently is then repentant.

A VAST SALT. FIELD.
How the Product Is obtained In the
Middle of the Colorado Desert.

Middle OF the COlorndO DESERT
In the middle of the Colorado desert,
a little to the north OF the Mexican
border and 264 feet below the level of
the sea, lies a field of crystallized salt
more than thousand acres in extent,
presenting surface as white as snow
and beneath the MONDAY glare of the
sun so dazzling that the naked eye
cannot stand its radiance. 1t stretches
away for miles and miles about Salton,
Colo, an ocean of blazing, blistering
white.
Here daily throughout the year men
are at work overturning the great de-
post with massive plows and scrapers,
getting it into great piles preliminary
to putting it through the refining proc
ess. The salt plows used TO secure the
harvest are great four wheeled imple-
ments driven by steam and managed
by two men. The salt crust is thrown
up in parallel ridges; then laborers
with hoes work it TO and fro in the
water, washing out the dirt prelim-
mary to stacking it in mounds to be
taken to the mill.
Salt springs in adjacent foothills are
constantly contributing to the deposit,
and so heavily laden are they with al
most pure salt that the pillow has hardly
passed on before new crust has
formed In the furrow left. This fact
renders it unnecessary to operate more
than small portion of the vast de-
posit.
AS may be supposed, work in these
fields is performed under the most try
ing conditions. No white man can
stand the intense heat, and for this
reason the work is done wholly by
Japanese and by Coahuila Indians. OF
these the Indians are by far the better
adapted to the work, the japanese per-
forming only one portion, sewing the
sacks in which the salt is shipped. The
atmosphere, laden as it is with parti-
cles of salt, gives rise to painful
thirst, and the only available drinking
water comes from single well. 1t is
warm and i'll tasting
Beautiful mirages frequently appear
above the great salt field in the day
time, sky pictures of magnificent cities
and flower dotted, tree shaded fields.
The moonlight, too, produces won
drously beautiful effects upon the
great field of cleaning salt. For sew
eral weeks in the year the thermome-
ter on the salt field averages 40 de-
grees, and the reflection of the sun
produces a glare like that from fur
mace. The deposits vary in thickness
from ten to twenty inches and form
solid crust over the great marsh. 1t
is estimated that about 700 tons are
now plowed up daily.-New York Trib-
une.
