MAGISTRATES
HOLD OVER
The County Act Does
Not Affect
Them.

District magistrates now serving will
continue to hold Office even after the
County Act goes into effect. The new
law provides that the Board of Super
visors shall have power to appoint the
district judges. but there is special
provision which exempts the present
Office holders from the effect of the
act until their tenure of Office shall
have expired.
Both of the Honolulu judges, Lindsay
and Dickey, have nearly full two
years still to serve. Quite a number of
the commissions will expire next year,
and the offices will then be filed by
the Board of Supervisors, but quite a
few continue over until after the ex-
piration of the terms of the recently
elected supervisors.
The County Act provides for the ap-
pointment of magistrates and various
other minor officers Section 4S says:
1.-THE officers of each district are:
One or more District Magistrates, one
or more Deputy Sheriffs, Road Super
visors, and such subordinate officers as
shall be provided by law. The pro-
visions of this section shall not affect
the tenure of office of the present Dis
trict Magistrates

Only One Story Told.

Two we'll known horsemen of Phil
adelphia were telling about some Of
their old favorltes and the kindly
feeling they had toward them in not
working them too hard, but letting
them do as they liked in their old age.
The older Of the horsemen said:
zone Of my best horses was sent
out to Kansas to pass the rest Of his
days quietly on farm; the farmer
had a barn stored with corn, which
took fire one cold afternoon and as
the heat was so intense 1t managed
to pop the corn very quickly, which,
with the strong wind blowing at the
time, caused the corn to fly about in
all directions. The old mare stood
watching this for a few minutes,
thought It was snow, and then Law
down and froze to death"

MUCH ARID LAND RECLAIMED

to Idaho.

irrigation Has Proved of Great Value
to Idaho.
AS result of the most successful
engineering work yet done for the
reclamation of arid lands, 100000
acres of land in Idaho have been
thrown open to settlement. These
lands lie in the valley of the Snake
river, in Lincoln and Cassia counties.
Through what is known as the Twin
Falls canal, the waters of the Snake
river are to be lifted 38 feet, and
through 100 miles of main canal and
1000 miles of laterals spread over 700
square miles of desert.
BY this enterprise sources of agri-
cultural wealth in Idaho, which have
long lain dormant, will be developed.
According to plans 26S,000 acres Of
land from the Public Domain will ul-
timately be brought under irrigation.
According to the terms of the con-
tract with the state and national gov
ernments the canal on the south side
Of the Snake river will be IS miles
long, 80 feet wide on the bottom at
the head, gradually narrowing to Is
feet at the other end. 1t will have a
grade of one foot in 5000, will carry
water 8 feet in depth and have ca
pacity Of 5000 feet.

Ito Welded Life"

Laughter and the music Of guitars
sounded through the half-open door
way Of restaurant in the Italian
quarter. II was an air from Car
men" the musicians played. Into the
middle of 1t broke a woman's voice,
vibrant, dramatic. Only a few bars
1t sang then stopped as suddenly as
, 1t had begun. The players continued
as If no voice had been heard. Tho
laughter, which had subsidized quickly,
was renewed. With it broke out
salvo Of applause.
Schuyler Thompson halted before
the door. He was strange to San
Francisco, and he hesitated about en-
tering. Then he saw the name San
guinetti" above the entrance. The
name seemed familiar. Had he heard
It in the Palace Hotel? Yes, that was

past It. Before the applause had
ceased, he was inside.
Along the right side of the room
was a long bar. Behind 1t were
glasses and bottles. On the other
side were tables, most of them occu-
pied and laden with dishes. 1t was
plain place, almost shabby. White
sand covered the floor lightly, plowed
tnto little burrows by trailing skirts.
doors OF Italian cooking and cigarette
smoke filed the air.
The handclapping ended and one
after another, almost simultaneously,
the diners lifted their glasses
toward one woman, held them in the
air until they caught, her glance, then
drank to her. 1t was readily done,
gracefully, easily, spontaneously. She
smiled and turned to her escort.
Thompson seated himself at q
table near the singer Before he gave
his order to the waiter he asked who
she was. She was the prima donna
of the Italian opera company playing
in the Tivoli opera house, the waiter
told him, woman who sung Carmen
with a force and abandon suggestive
of Calve. Then Thompson under

toasts.

Fish Skin Clothes.

Until recently few people thought
of utilizing as a substitute the ma
terial to be gained from water ami
mails. The United States Fish Com.
mission has taken up the question,
and already proved that several kinds
of fish have skins that make excel.
lent leather for some purposes.
Salmon hide is found not only SER
viceable for boots, but among the
Esquimaux it has been used for gen.
erations in making waterproof
clothes. The people of the very far
north also use Goldfish skins for
jackets. The different skins which
the Fish Commission has found to
be most practical and durable are
whale skins, porpoise skins, and seal
leather, which dye in most exquisite
oolors.

NEW BEAST OF BURDEN.
Value of the ZebruIe Is Just Being
Recognized.

neCOgniZcus
For some eight or nine years Prof.
Cossar Ewart of the University of
Edinburgh has been endeavoring to
produce superior animals for military
and general, use by zebra-horse n.y.
birds; and now that his experiments
are coming within the range of utiliz-
alton, the results will be watched
with keen interest by the people of
this country. The new animal, the
zebrule, which it is predicted will be
the mule Of the twentieth century, Is
by make, shape and hardness of foot,
well fitted for transport and artillery
purposes. In color it more frequently
resembles the mother, though the re-
bra stripping is often very distinct.
OF the many zebrules that have
now been bred, it is found that they
have better and freer tempers than
ordinary mules, and are less difficult
to handle.
Mr. Hagenbeck of Hamburg was so
greatly impressed with the hybrid
sent to London last year that he is
introducing them into Germany and
America. With view to convince
the people that they are useful and
docile, and to destroy any prejudice
against their blood. he drives pair
himself. He wrote in February last
to Prof. Ewart: 1.-TWO of the five
zebrules you sent go IN harness quite

and springing to her feet, the singer

LAST OF HAMILTON TREES.
All That Is Left Of Them In Upper
Manhattan.

Manhattan.
1t is safe to say that there isn't q
city in all the world where sentiment
counts for so little as it does in New
York, when 1t comes to the preserva-
ton Of historical objects. This Is no
better illustrated than Convent ave-
nue., between 142d and 143d streets.
At one time fence surrounded the
little group Of trees to protect them
from vandalism, and an inscription
told the stranger that they were
planted by Alexander Hamilton in
commemoration of the thirteen orig
inal states. But eight Of the trees
are now standing, only three of which
show any sign of life by putting forth
their scant foliage of fresh green.
This springs foliage will probably
be the last spring garb the historical
old gums will ever don, as building
has crept up close, only few vacant
lots remain in which they are the
center. The building stones Of the
Lady of Lourdes Church are scatter
ed all around, and even the trees
themselves which Hamilton set out
with such beautiful, patriotic senti-
ment, are covered, high as the sign
hanger could reach, with real estate
advertisements of For Sale.' An

Prejudice Not Because Of Malaria,
But to Save Fuel.
The theory that the necessity Of ex-
Guiding from houses the injurious

Of the practice of poor ventilation
will not hold. 1t is at least not the
sole nor the chief reason Of the
prejudice against fresh air.
Manifestly 1t does not obtain foS
countries in which there is no mos

ly in the winter season, the theory
has no applicability, and another ex

This is, we believe, the necessity
that exists, especially among the vast
majority Of the poor, to economics

economy by keeping their domestic
animals at night in the combined
house and stable.
In Arctic climates and In winter
even In temperate zones, and especial
ly in previous centuries, the securing
Of sufficient clothing and saving the

chief cause Of the universal fear Of
ventilation.
