the voters in the new precinct have
changed their places of residence BY
an act of the county commissioners
that place of residence has been
placed In a new precinct, but the
opinion is given that every voter who
registered in the precinct is entitled
to vote until the law requires him
to register again
In conclusion, Mr.. Bates says: ut
is the opinion of this office that the
city clerk should make out the poll
books for the new precincts formed
out of the Fourth precinct of the
Fifth ward, such poll books to con-
tain the names of the registered
voters within the boundaries of the
new precincts.
I'VE can find absolutely no provi-
sion in the statute for your being re-
quired to register over again"
City Attorney Ellis has prepared a
lengthy opinion on the subject, in
which he concurs with Attorney

unknown woman was attacked by a
maddened bear in charge of the
Huntington, West Virginia, Elks on

tend the national convention, and it

and the heat affected the animals.

the repairs can be completed in ten
days The damage to the craft will
cost her owners about $4,000.

communication to the commissioner
of public works, states that the
cost of grading this street would
exceed the assessed valuation of the
abutting property by $4,000. The
cost is made excessively heavy owing
to the fact that a large bridge would
have to be built over the Northern
Pacific tracks in the gulch and a
deep cut made.

JUDGE GEAR
LIGHTS OUT
Arrangements Are Made
Under Last Found
indictments.

Arrangements of persons last indicted
by the grand jury took place before
Judge Gear yesterday morning.
Chas. F. Chillingworth, late Deputy
High Sheriff, pleaded not guilty to the
two indictments of extortion in small
amounts. F. E. Thompson and G. A.
Davis appeared for him.
With regard to the Indictment against
ChiIIingworth and Ahoo jointly, for ex-
tortion in the sum of $3.50, a. G. M.
Robertson appeared for Ahoo and, after
consultation between counsel for both
defendants. the plea was reserved until
Monday next.
Leon Renaut, represented by ]. w.
Cathcart, pleaded not guilty to indict-
ment for selling liquor without a Ii
cense.
Kahiliailau, indicted for murder in
the first degree, having no counsel was
allowed to reserve his plea until Mon
day. 1t is probable that the court will
have to assign counsel for this old
man, whose criminal record has been
given by the Advertiser.
Henry Vierra, the lately discharged
clerk of the Public Works Department,
had his plea to extortion reserved by
his counsel, F. E. Thompson.
DISPOSITION OF CASES.
There were no criminal cases ready |
for trial when defendants were called |
and asked if they desired trial this |
term. Judge Gear then ordered all |
criminal matters on the calendar prior
to the latest indictments continued I'M
til the January term.
The trial of Emmett May previously
set will come on before Judge Robin
son, with Judge Gears jury panel to
draw from, at 10 o'clock this morning.

FARMERS AND A
DISTANT MARKET

Has anybody ever heard of an Amer
lean small farmer, even those intre-
pid ones who braved the danger of the
prairie and settled the great west,
starting farm two thousand miles
from market TO which freight rates
were almost prohibitive and transporta-
ton facilities limited Star.
Editor Advertiser: Does not the read
ing of articles like this make one angry,
and discredit the paper that publishes
them? Yes, every one that has read
of the colonization of America, Austria
liza, New Zealand and other British
colonies too numerous to mention have
heard and know of more wonderful
instances by far. Take the case of New
Zealand The early colonists started in
and built I'D their farms when no market
was in sight, in fact, was twelve thou
portationi Well, there wasn't any
transportation, but the sturdy settler had
faith in the future Well, what do we
see now! just look up New Zealand's
trade returns. Their butter on the Lon
don market the other side of the
world" rivals the best. Her cheese,
fresh mutton and beef will also be found
there The Philippines also gets its
fresh meat supply from New Zealand
But 1 shall be told this is not small
farming. All I can say is that when
people emigrated to New Zealand they
had nothing. Well, yes, they had a
friendly government! Anyway they are,
a rich community now and one of the
gems of the Empires crown.
This talk of markets and transporta-
toni Why. this country is a picnic
for small farmers. Just look at that
vast area, the United States, for a free
market, and then say the small farmer
cannot raise anything profitable enough
to send here. What rot
What is the object of publishing such
stuff, anyway? Does the Star" want
to keep future wealth producers and
subscribers off the land? Just give the
American farmer chance There is
need of a few more here, and he will
show you in few years what he can

rendered an oral decision holding that
| the judgment of the lower court was
valid. He therefore ordered the writ
of habeas corpus dismissed and the

waii. At the trial before District
Magistrate Hookano of Eva proof
was given that the o. r. & l.. Co.,

cepting from it's operation such sea
