Ha | Haleakala suddenly become
active no more surprise could
have been exhibited, than at
the result o. last Tuesdays election
on the island Of Maui.
Never were the Homo Rulers and
Democrats so utterly at sea to ac-
count for the enormous vote polled
BY the grand old party of Maui and
even at the eleventh hour small
groups OF the defeated could be seen
in aud around the headquarters con-
soling each other and seeking for
some plausible reason for the nolo-
crast.
The certainty of Roosevelt's re-
elect certainly had an influence
over the voters which all the arguing
and pleading of the opposition coulG
not break. This, togetht with the
hard, systematic and enthusiastic
work of the Republican l,aders
wrought the tremendous maiorities.
Willie at no time during the caln-
paign were the party workers at all
uncertain as to the final results, the
work of the last two weeks of the
Executive Committee and Manager
George Cooper, had been so thorough
and exhe ustive that a week before
the election Manager Cooper estl
mated the republican vote for
tie Third Representative District at
1905. That this estimate was con-
servative one based upon the final
reports of the party workers in the
various precincts is borne out by the
official returns.
Some confusion occurred at Wailu'
ku early in the voting, but Of the to-
tai vote of the Sixth Precinct only
20 ballots for Delegate, IA for Sena-
tors, and for Representatives were
thrown out as irregular.
The voters seemed to take an I'M
usual interest IN voting this year and
all precincts polled practically the
full vote. The shining example was
set by the Nineteenth precinct (Na-

hiku) who vote went 81 lid TO n man
for the administrative party. In
fact the spellbiuders OF the opposition
when stumping this district were
confronted by placard reading
Democrats and Home Rulers need
not stop. we are all republicans, move
on to Keanae." Even with this "hand-
writing on the wall'' one opposition
candidate figured he was good for
fifteen votes from this precinct.
Throughout the districts with the
exception of t7lupalakua, Kcant e,
Waihce and PIkoo the same rols,ng
me- lori lies rolled in, proclaiming the
people to being ardent supporters of
the Federal and Territorial admistra-
tion.

The Circuit court, which is

vile, has great deal of business
On the docket, both in the law and
chancery causes. On the law side,
there is a large number of fell
onies to try, including oflenses Of
burglary, arson, murder and as
sault with intent to kill. On &C
count of lack of time, some of
them will no doubt be laid over
until the next term. AS it is, the
court holds but three terms per
year, but beginning with the JAN
uary term, 1905, there will be four
terms per year in each county in
the second judicial circuit, and in
which this county is included.

Gusher in Monroe County.

The Southern Oil company's
gusher on the George Vail farm,
located three miles northwest
of Woodsfield, in Monroe county,
Ohio, is attracting the most A.
tention of any recent strike in the
southeastern part of the Buckeye
State. Unless this should prove
an exceptional well for the new
development there should be con-
siderable amount of new produc-
ton derived from that locality
before the pool has been fully de-
veloped. When drilled deeper on
Saturday the well started to flow
at the rate of 40 barrels an hour.
Drilling was Suspended, and the
well has not since been agitated,
but twelve hours after it began
to flow was holding up at % bar
rels an hour. 1t was the intention
to run the tools today, at which
time an increased production is
expected to follow. There is said
to be enough territory in that 10
cality to give room for a Keener
sand pool Of considerable area.

handed down decision which
gives to NJ. o. Gallaher, and 9th
ers, about sixtysix acres of land
lying on the south fork of the
Wetzel county oil fields. The case
has been before the court for some
time and the question involved
was whether a certain deed for
six hundred acres was intended to
convey the entire tract. The decis-
ion rendered interprets the deed
in such a manner that it means
only the actual number of acres
stipulated therein. This leaves
about sixty-six acres, the title to
which is vested in the heirs of the
quarter of the six hundred acres.
