WAIPAHU CANE FIRE

The Waipahu police are investigating
a cane fire that is thought to have
been of incendiary origin. The fire was
discovered by Deputy Sheriff Fernan-
dez when the latter was going home
from Eva Friday night. He extin-
guished the blaze, only small part of
a field being burned. Some Japs had the
field on contract shares and a quarrel
between them ensued. One of them Is
suspected of setting fire to the prop
erty.

Sydney, N. s. w., Feb. 1s.-John
Alexander Dowie, of the Zionist move
ment originating in Chicago, Ills, re-
ceived some of the worst treatment
when he attempted to hold one of his
meetings here that he has received
since he began holding public meet
ings. There had been much advance
notice Of the "prophet's' coming to
Sydney, and when he arrived there
was mob OH hand, who greeted him
with boots of derision and jeers.
Undaunted, however, he held the
meeting as he had announced. No
sooner had Dowie begun berating the
people of Sydney than the crowd which
filled the hall and thronged outside in
the streets to the number of 5000,
drove him from the platform, and he
esZcaped through the rear ext.
The mob outside caught sight of
Dowie running down side street and
went after him with yell, the police
being powerless to stop them. Dowie,
in spite of his avordupois and short
legs, coveredt he ground to his hotel
before the mob could reach him, and
did not stir from his room for the re-
mainder Of the day or evening.
Late the same night, thoroughly
frightened, Dowie left Sydney secretly
by train, going to the railroad station
in guarded coach.

To Measurs an Acre.

To measure an acre, tie a ring at
each end Of a rope. the distance being
Just e. feet between them: tie a piece
Of colored cloth exactly in the middle
Of this. One acre Of ground will be
four times the length and two and one
half times the width. or the equal Of
10 rods one way and 10 rods the other
making the full acre 100 square rods
Keep the rope dry. 80 It will not
stretch. A rod Is 1917 lineal feet. An
acre Is 4,84O square yards. or 1880
square feet. To lay out an acre when
one side is known. divide the units
in the square contents by the units
Of the same kind in the length of the
known side. Thus: II the known side
be rods, divide 100 by 4. and the
Quotient 40 will be the depth Of the
acre plot. II the length Of the known
side be 80 feet divide 1880 by 90.
and the quotient AZ will be the depth
Of an acre plot. Either of the fol-
lowing measures include an acre plot

FOR LAND FRAUDS
BENSON AND HYDE INDICTED At
WASHINGTON.
Operated Extensively in Oregon and
Washington, and Are Said, by
Means of Dummy Applicants to
Have Secured Large Tracts In
Olympia and Vancouver Districts

Washington, Feb. l9.-As a result
Of the investigation of the alleged
wholesale public land frauds in many
Western states, the grand jury of the
District of Colombia has reported a
Joint indictment for conspiracy
against John A. Benson, wealthy
real estate operator of San Francisco;
Frederick A. Hyde, of San Francisco,
closely identified with Benson in land
affairs; Henry G. Dimond, of Califor-
MIA, representing Benson and Hyde,
and Joost j. Schneider, of Tucson,
Arizona, an agent of Benson and Hyde.
Bench warrants were Immediately is
sued and Schneider was arrested in
this city. He was later in the day
held in $35, 900. Schneider has been
a witness before the grand jury in the
cases against the other defendants.
Benson already has been indicted here
on charge Of bribery.
Operated in This State.
The indictment is voluminous and
sets forth a number of transactions by
which land is alleged to have been
fraudulently acquired from the govern
ment in California, Oregon, Washing
ton, Nevada and elsewhere. Most of
these transactions are reported to have
occurred under the lieu land law.
The scheme alleged to have been
prac tised in these transactions was to
obtain sc hool or other lands by appli-
c atoms, assignments and purchases in
the names of fictitious persons or of
persons not really desiring or qualified
to purchase them, Hyde and Benson
paying them sma u sums for the land.
In pursuance of this alleged conspir-
acy thus carried through ~ dummy
applicants, certain unsurveyed tracts
in Olympia, Washington, land district,
containing 3, 400 acres, selected in the
name of G. w. Clarke, Frederick A.
Hyde and John A. Benson, were OBJ.
tanned and other lands, specifically
cited, were secured, including large
tracts in the Visalia and Vancouver
districts in Washington; in the Wood
land district in Ok lahoma, the Cascade
forest reserve country in Oregon, the
San Franciso land district and the
Carson City, Nevada, land district.
The arrest Of the other persons in
dicted is expected very soon.

The Open Eyed Farmer.
Much has been said and written Of

called a failure. and is generally re-
garded As a grumbler. viewing the
future with dOleful and pessimistic
eyes. There are farmers as we'll as
mercantile men who 20 1t blind, and
again there are innumerable farmers
who continually move forward with
open eyes. 1t Is concerning the latter
that We write.
Everyone Is glad when they come
face to face with the cheerful. op-
timistic and open-eyed farmer. who Is
constantly adding to his income and
who Is always SO busy planting or
harvesting his crops that he has no

all his own.

Looked at from every point Of view.
the standing and prestige Of the

Is not living under even a lowering

The fundamental principles, hard
and constant work and thought. which
mean prosperity. are never lost sight
Of by the open-eyed farmer. To him
they bring contentment and perfect
peace of mind which permit the full.

The Open-eyed farmer Is not a man

in the case of Col. Melvin Grigsby, of
South Dakota, United States district
attorney at Nome, have been sent to
the president from the department Of
Justice, with recommendation for his
dismissal from Office. The charges
against the district attorney have been
under investigation for a long time, and
the case was finally handed to the act

affixed his signature and sent the case
to the White House. It is presumed
the president will follow the recon-
mendation of the department.

Windows and DooPs Of Shops Closed

There are several comparatively at

This effect 10 produced by the iron or

Of business.

very clearly understood. Like the wall

this slight relief the principal business
street OF the city at 8 o'clock In the
evening Is more suggestive Of the out
side Of prison than Of the business
center Of a great metropolis. A visitor
to Manila during the time that all

Immense throngs of people lined both
