If the $4,000 appropriation is INSULT
cient to build carriage road from Kai.
lua to Nahiliu, why not construct a
good hose trail and widen it when the
Territory can afford to appropriate the
necessary funds? A narrow roadway
over which pack animals can travel
easily and in safety is all that the set
tiers of the vicinity desire. The pres
ent steep, zigzag, stony pathways, bad
ly washed out in some places and bog
gy in others, renders the transporta-
ton of produce to the good market af-
forded by Makawao plantation villages
an almost impossbility.

partment of the university of Michigan,
and although young man had occu-
pied for some time the bench of the
Fourth Circuit Court, prior to the in

RESOLUTIONS.
Whereas, 1t has pleased Almighty

Wilder, a former judge of this Fourth
Circuit Court, by an unexpected and,
to us, a seemingly untimely death,
therefore be it
Resolved, That while we bow in hum

family of the deceased our sincere
sympathy and coincidence in this, their

A YOUTHFUL MALEFACTOR.
A young Portuguese boy about eleven
years old who has been drawing upon
| the Owl Drug Co. for tobacco and pock-
ct money, without the consent of the
| people in charge, was brought before
Judge Hapai this week and sentenced
to the reform school for a year. 1t
seems that the youth had been in the
| habit of coming down town early in the
morning and going to the beach to
gather firewood wherewith to cook the
matutinal meal and on his way back
he had acquired the propensity of stop
ping at the rear of the drug store, OPEN
ing the window by one means or an
other, entering and touching up the
cash register for such coin as he
thought his needs for the day might
require, and the material for a COM

TOO MUCH WATER.
The men working for Mr.. Lance, the
water-finding expert, near the Honokaa

perience this week while tunneling.
The tunnel in which they were working
opens from the lower part of a gulch

pour of rain flooded the gulch and the
part of the tunnel, effectually cutting
off the laborers from daylight and air,

flood proved brief, though violent, and
after few hours Of anxiety the water
subsided and the men We're released

SHOT WAS FATAL.
George Lawrence Given a Death
Wound Saturday Night.
Mistaken BY D. e. Ramsey, T. G.
Section Foreman, For a
Marauder.

George Lawrence, night watch
man of the l. C. railroad, was shot
and mortally wounded at Mason
Vile Saturday night, by d. E.
Ramsey, section foreman of the I.
c. railroad. The killing was due,
it is alleged to mistaken identity.
Ramsey claims that he had been
recently annoyed by night providers,
who would steal from him and
cause other trouble. Lawrence
had been visiting IN the neighbour
hood and wishing to get to the rail
road on his return to the city, a
distance of SIX miles, passed
through Ramsey's premises, Hear
ing noise in his yard, Ramsey
went out and saw Lawrence climb
ing his fence. He says he called,
and receiving no answer he shot
him with a pistol. The ball took
effect in Lawrence's bowels on the
right side. The wounded man
called to Ramsey not to shoot
again, as he had inflicted fatal
wound. Ramser allowed him to go
in his house and his wound was
examined and found TO be mortal.
An operation was performed and
the wounded man was brought to
his home in this city Monday night.
The ball from Colts 80 pistol had
passed through his bowels and
lodged on the left side, just under
the skin. Lawrence died Tuesday
night.
The young man was only p
years of age. He had lived some
time near Longview and later
worked a while for Forbes IN this
city. Recently he had been an
employe of the I. c. road.
Ramsey's explanation is proba-
bly, the only plausible one to be
given. Mstaklng Lawrence for a
marauder who refused to answer
his call, he fred and killed him.
The case is a very serious one
for Mr.. Ramsey, even taking bis
version of the affair Masonville is
new station with fences and sur.
roundings in very loose condition
and MIR. Ramsey was hardly JUST.
lied in shooting at people who
crossed his premises.
The body of bis victim was
shipped to McMnnville, Tenn, for
burial. Lawrence was unmarried.
Ramsey surrendered promptly
and gave bond His examining
trial is set for today.

MICHIGAN orchnrds.

The Michigan peach belt consists or
n strip varying from three to eight OF
ten miles in width, extending along the
shores of Lake Michigan for about 100
miles. The strip is not continuous,
however. In the noted orchards Oh
Roland Morrill, of Benton Harbor the
trees are planted usually twenty teet
onart. They are headed rather high
and make an enormous growth quite
in contrast to the low headed or dwarf
trees seen in Georgia on the Hale
plantation. Large quantities OF hard
wood ashes are used in these orchards.
Cultivation begins early and is kept
IN constantly. About the 1st of Sep
tembcr lIr. Morrill, sows oats between
his trees. The fruit IS picked in one
third bushel baskets and hauled to the
sheds in an orchard wagon. One horse
Is used on this wagon, which has NAT
top bed. Owing to the immense size
of the trees. stepladders, some of when
are ten TO twelve feet high, are neces-
sary. The fruit is sorted into three
grades. The best grade IS packed III
six basket carriers These are hned
with paper, thus presenting very at
tractive appearance Much of the
fruit is put in fifth bushel baskets with
Slated covers. The fruit is covered
with pink tarlatan before the covers
are put on. Bushel and half bushei
baskets are sometimes used for the
cheaper grades of fruit that go to the
cnnnci.inS

rylfIIn Er,tu

Edible nuts are very rich in oil, with
only a small percentage of the so called
carbohydrates, such as starch or sugar,
and they also contain a large proper
ton of nitrogenous constituents. They
are thus the most highly concentrated
form of nutriment, and Nature knew
what she was about in providing such
wrappings and castings as make it diff
ficult to come at these most precious
bits of food Evidently her idea was
that If Adamic men were to undertake
to live by nuts alone under the green
wood tree they would ruin their stoni-
achs with too much richness. So Adam
had to take plenty of time for getting
at the nuts meat and pick away, If on
nut diet, at his food all day, as the
birds and fowls do.-Boston Transcript.

IMPROVED VEGETABLES.
wtn4 the Bean Growers Have Ac
ani.hnd In This LING.

W
corplished In This Line.
The green sorts of the bush beans,
commonly known as the snapshot,
have been much improved The string
less are without doubt the nearest ap-
proach to perfection. They are early
large and very tender and continue
much longer in bearing than the nat
podded sorts. 1t has also been dis
covered that the oldest of the fiat pod
ded American sorts are excellent tor
forcing and far superior TO some OF
the famous imported varieties for that
purpose. which we only few years
ago deemed Indispensable. In the wax
nodded sorts the same adyancements
have been made through constant I'M
provements. Many of these have been
brought to perfection in the produc-
ton of round podded varieties.
1t has been the object of the bean
raisers to grow for small number OF
grain to the pod, while less profitable 10
the seed producer, yet good quality Is
the object, and also to overcome the
air cells above the seed and the neck
of the pod, thus producing less strlhg
and more flesh, thereby producing
longer bearing season and larger pods
In the pole varieties the same improve
ments have been achieved as IN the
bush sorts, both in green and wax
sorts
The lima bean has made very percep-
tible advancement, starting with the
long podded, thick skinned, white seed
ed bean to the shorter pod, with more
beans and much thinner shell. Ihese
are also doubly prolific and of much
better flavor, greater luxury for the
table and more profitable for the mar
ket gardener. These types have also
been dwarfed in both large and small
lima and are now known as the bush
form of lima bean, which we now
have in about six varieties.-J. r. Thi-
low Before Farmers Institute, Phila-
delphia.

Tartan Distinctions.

1t seems to be little known fact that
many clans have more than one tartan.
They have, however, sometimes sever
al, such as a common tartan, hunting
tartan and a full dress tartan. Early
in the day a highlander of position
dons a kilt of plain tartan, and in the
evening for dinner he puts on his full
dress tartan, with sporran and richly
jeweled dirk. For example, the Mac
pherson dress tartan is black and white
with q narrow red line, and the hunt
ing Macpherson is q small blue and
black and red check. The Stewarts
have three tartans, and the design of
their hunting tartan in dark and green
IS Il very fine one. Each clan has its
own badge. The Duff men wear holly,
the Gordons an ivy leaf, the Stewarts
an oak leaf, and SO on.

FAMOUS PEACH ORCHARDS.
Fncts Learned fn Some Of the Most
Noted Conme-eiuj ReEions.

EuctS Learned fh some CT the MOST
Noted Commcrciaj Regions.
At its last meeting Professor W. @.
Johnson gave ore Of TIE most interest
ing and valuable addresses every pre-
scented before the New Jersey State
Horticultural society. The address
covered, somewhat in detail, trip
through some of the largest and most
famous commercial peach orchards in
the United States. \ few items are
here given in brief, showing the sharp
contrast in different fruit growing sec
tions.
On the immense plantation Of j. Ii.
Hale ct Fort Valley, Ca, there were
over 2500O0 peach trees ia bearing.
The one great commercial variety was
the Elberta. The soil is light, sandy
loan. The trees are low headed, start
ing in many instances ut eight to ten
inches from the ground. They are
kept pruned back 80 that all the fruit
can be picked without the use Of lad
ders. This quarter of a million o.
trees are regularly sprayed with bor
disease of this character The work
is usually done in January or early
February, before the buds open. They
are also sprayed where necessary with
the line, salt and sulphur wash. Mr..
Hale is thorough cultivator and fer
tilizes heavily EACH year. In his young
orchard he plants two rows OF cow
peas between the rows of trees. The
entire orchard is laid of systematical-
ly in blocks, with avenues and streets
running through it. The fruit Is pick
ed il, half bushel baskets by colored
men ana women and carried in wagons
to the packing sheds. Here it is grad
ed Into three classes. The fruit is
packed in six basket carriers and ship
ped to northern markets in refrigerator
cars.
