'OlD SAM" WAS A
HEAVY DRINKER

"Old SAM" the boatboy who was
found dead on Brewers wharf Satur-
day morning, was a heavy drinker ac-
cording to the evidence adduced at the
coroners inquest yesterday. The Jury
rendered a verdict that "Old Sam"
came to his death from acute alcohol
ism.
The principal evidence was that of
DR.. Mcdonald who made postmortem
examination Of the boatman's body.
His Investigations were to the effect
that the boatman came to his death
from acute and chronic alcoholism,
coming upon the heels of heavy de-
bauch on New Years Day. DIR. Nc
Donald stated that II "Old Sans"
physique had not been so undermined
by alcohol the debauch itself might not
have proved fatal.
Brewers wharf, who discovered the
body at 3 a. m. Saturday, stated that
Sam brought his mating and other eff
fects to Brewers wharf early Friday
morning. asking permission to leave
them there for the day as the boat
landing was to be given over to the
boat boys luau. When the night
Waterman came on duty again at
o'clock he saw Sam asleep on a bale of
hay near his belongings. He was shor-
ing heavily. During the night he no.
ticed he had not changed his position
He shook him and then found that he
was dead.

believe 1t is only fair and justice to
myself, as the duly elected assessor OF
the County of Oahu IL the board con-
strues the largest amount of property
tax collected, $55,946. as the greatest
amount in the hands of the collector in
one day. and fixes the bond according
ly.
Furthermore the law gives the
Board of Supervisors the right to re-
duire the tax assessor to make daily
payments to the treasurer, and l wish
to state that IT is my intention to de-
post daily and never keep single dol

also gives the Supervisors the right to
supervise the collection of public money,
and as / stated I shall deposit all money
collected daily, and request that the
board require this to be done. / claim
that the board has no right to fix the
bond above the average of the greatest
collection under the law, and that has
been shown to be less than 100000
Supervisor Harvey here moved that
the assessors bond be made $4,000 in
stead of sl50,OG0.
Chairman Hooking asked If 1t was
possible for the assessor TO make up
his accounts SO as to turn in his money
daily.
Il claim it is not necessary to make n
statement of each fund in order to
turn the money into the treasurer.
said Iaukea. Because certain large
houses representing many plantations
could pay their taxes in one lump sum,
does not compel me to receive the taxes
for more than one plantation at time.
AS soon as the tax on one is paid the
money could be on the way to the
treasurer's Office, before / receive the
next. 1t is not necessary to receive in
a lump sum taxes covering three or
four plantations"
THE tax office would be open after
the treasury" suggested the chairman
1T is not necessary that l receiv
taxes after banking hours, no official
hours are provided in the County \ct.
ut is your contention that you
wouldn't keep open after three
o'clock2' asked Supervisor Gilman.
1T is not my contention. l simply
wouldn't have to receive taxes after
three o'clock; the law doesn't require
me to-
DO you mean that on the last day
for payment of taxes you wouldn't
keep the tax office open after three
o'clock, and on the next day would
collect the penalty?" asked Supervisor
Lucas. That would be ridiculous on
the face of it."

PANAMA AND
MOSQUITOES

Now that it is practically decided
that canal, to divide the continents
of North and South America, will be
built, it may not be out of place to
consider the probable effects of this
undertaking from sanitary point of
view. In the first instance, 1t would
seem certain that the building of an
isthmian canal will be attended by
great loss of life, unless measures are
enforced to render the conditions in
the regions through which the water
way must pass less inimical to health
than is the case at present. The dis
trict bordering on the proposed PAN
anna route is, perhaps, one of the most
VIGOROUSLY unhealthy in the world.
This fact was conclusively proved by
the mortality and sickness among the
laborers on the portion of the Panama
canal built by the Lesseps Company.
White men were unable to live for any
length of time in the locality, and the
mortality among the Chinese and to a
frightful.
Sir Patrick Manson, in a paper read
before the archaeological Society of
Great Britain, February 20, of this
year, foreshadowed the possible dan
ger of invasion by yellow fever of
Asia as the consequence of the digging
of the Panama canal. He pointed out
that shiploads of faborers would soon
be plying between Panama and the
seaports of Asia, and that unless ex-
traordinary precautions were taken the
inevitable result must be that the mall
ady would be conveyed and spread
among the seething multitudes of the
Far East. In the Journal of Tropical
Medicine, August Is, 1908, DIR. ST.
George Gray, Sierra Leone, returns to
this subject and discusses the sanitary
measures necessary to prevent intro
duction of yellow fever into Asia from
Panama. He Is of the opinion that
these may be divided into (a) measures
to be adopted at the point of depart
ure, i. e., at the Central American
port, and OBJ measures to be adopted
at the port of arrival-the Asiatic port.
The writer takes it as absolutely
proven that mosquitoes are the sole
cause of yellow fever, and suggests
that an international sanitary board
should be appointed by the govern
ments having interests in the Far East,
and that they should be especially
qualified for the work. They should
have power to frame such quarantine
or other regulations as may be deemed
necessary and to enforce these regu-
lations by means Of penalties which
should be sufficiently heavy to insure
their being carried out by the most
careless and Indifferent OF captains.
The sanitary board should make sure
that no vessels which have not been
thoroughly cleared of mosquitoes
leave the isthmus for any of the
Asiatic ports. The final clearing
or mosquitoes should take place at an
anchorage to be selected for the pur-
pose at least 800 yards away from the
nearest shore. and once the fumiga-
ton is completed the vessel should not
approach the shore again. but pas
sengers, mails and cargo from open
lighters could be received aboard

WHY MOTHERS
WORRY

Did you ever hear a mother
worry over a plump child :
There is no better bank of
health for a child to draw
from than a good supply OF
healthy flesh.
SCOTS Emulsion not only
gives a child weight and
plumpness, but it feeds the
brain, bones and nerves with
strength and active power.
Fewer mothers would
worry if they knew more
about SCOTS Emulsion.
SCOTS Emulsion is substi-
tuted by cheap emulsions and
so-called wines, cordials and
extracts of cod-liver oil.
They can do you no good
and are dear at any price.
Why buy themi SCOTS
Emulsion has been the one
reliable preparation of cod
liver oil for nearly thirty years.

against that vessel and her master,
Captain Palmgreen, for $4,000 for per-
sonal damages received while on voy-
age from Newcastle, n. S. W., to Ho-

caused by a fall TO the deck through
the parting of a rotten foretopgallant
sheet on which he with others was
hauling. ]. J. Dunno, Assistant Dis

Merger Illegal.

In the United States Supreme Court
Monday an opinion was delivered in
the merger case of the Northern Secur-
tiles Company VS.. the United States in
favor of the Governments contention
that the merger was illegal. The opin-
ion of the court was handed down bv
Justice Harlan, and it upheld the de-
cree of the Circuit court for the District
OF Minnesota in every particular.
-Four OF the Justices dissented from
the five constituting the majority. The
division III the court was due to diff
ference of opinion as to the right of
Federal control of state corporations.
The majority opinion proceeded on the
theory that Congress has right, under
the Constitution, to control interstate
commerce, no matter by whom con-
Quoted, while the minority or dissent
Ing opinion was based on the theory
that in the present case the effort. to
regulate the ownership is not interstate
traffic.
The suit was brought by the Govern.
ment in Minnesota two years ago, Gov
ernor Van SAINT having been an active
opponent of the merger from its birth.
President Roosevelt has also taken IA
firm stand against the corporation, and
regards the decision of the Supreme
Court of vast Importance, proving, as
1t does, that it is possible to enforce the
antitrust laws when the necessary evil
dence is available.

"A colored preacher in New York
urges the negroes in the United States
to retaliate with bullets and fire when
one OF their number is lynched. That
would certainly settle the negro ques-
tlon-the negro, too, That preachers
nock should insist that he try the
scheme first and learn how it works.
There have probably been few ne
groes lynched who were innocent of the
crime charged against them, but the
number will be materially increased if
the negroes ever listen to bad advice
and go on the warpath.

Promiscuous or independent voting
may be all right in theory, but its prac.
tlce may prove disastrous to the "prac-
tltioner." What if the "practitioner"
should some day discover that he was
being chased by desirable office?
Naturally, he would expect the support
OF the party in which he claimed mem
bership. But would he be entitled to
1t? Possibly he may consider himself
a better man than the candidates of
his own party whom he has persistently
opposed, but it is hardly probable that
the majority of his party will agree
with him.

Fulton Busy.

Senator Fulton has offered three
amendments to the sundry civil bill,
making appropriations as follows:
To continue the improvement of the
entrance to Tillamook Bay, 100000; to
further improve the channel over the
bar at Yaquina Bay, $250,O0O; to i'm
prove the mouth of the Siuslaw river.
100000. These amendments are in.
tended to proyide funds for carrying on
work during the fiscal year.
While the people of Lincoln county
do not expect the Yaquina Bay item to
run the gauntlet, they nevertheless ap-
preciate the efforts of Senator Fulton.
