Governor Carter has given the Amer
acan-Hawaiian Engineering & Con-
=str,1ction Co., its legal adviser and
bondsmen, an ultimatum, in effect re-
quiring them either to claim fraud in
connection with the Asylum contract,
which if established would void it, or
to go ahead with the work, and tacitIy
antimating that if they try to allow
the time for completing the contract to
expire without doing anything the Su-
perintendent of Public Works will have
to bring an action upon the bond.
In giving out his letter to the COM
pany for publication. the Governor
stated that it contained all he had to
say, at this time, on the subject. Here
is the letter:
December p, 1904.
American Hawaiian Engineering &
Construction Company, stangen-
wald Building. Honolulu.
Gentlemen In your communication
of December eth, you call atten-
tion to the statement that in the last
year you have bid ss1.5s7 less than the
next lowest bidder. The individuals
who have appeared in your behalf are
men of standing in this community,
who would scorn any desire on their
part tc. Intentionally take advantage of
the government and the taxpayers. VIII
you, therefore. kindly state whether or
not you intend to claim fraud in con-
nection with the insane asylum con-
tract, and thereby void it?
IF last evenings s'Star'' is correct,
your attorney still disclaims any desire
to. make charges of fraud; while IN
YOUR communication of December 4th
you submit statements that can have
no other Interpretation but that you
believe there is fraud.
In your letter of December 10th, the
third reason given for declining arbi-
tration is that your bondsmen object
'.under the conditions which exist in
this contract. without determination
of the question of fraud. which they
believe should not be left undecided,
and which cannot be decided by arbi-
tration."
In my last interview with your at
torney, he was told that both you and
he would render a public service by !
exposing fraud.

An Easy Way to Do II.

Mineral, Idaho, April 11.-Mr. D.
s. Colson of this place has something
to say which will be of interest to
many men Mr.. Colson claims to have
found a simple way to get rid of pains
in the back, Sciatica or Rheumatism.
He has cured himself and so claims per-
sonal experience in proof of his method.
Mr.. Colson says:
II had awful pains in my hip. They
got so bad at last that I could badly
walk. | tried several things but got
no relief till l began to use Dodd's
Kidney Pills and 1 had taken but a
few of these pills till the pain left me
entirely.
"Dodd's Kidney Pills certainly did
me lots of good and consider them
great medicine"
The remedy that cured Mr.. Colson is
the same that has been making such
sensational cures of Bright's Disease,
Diabetes, Dropsy and Rheumatism all
over the country. The name of the
medicine is Dodd's Kidney Pills.

FLYING REPTILES OF OLD.
OF Great Size, They We're Once More
Common Than Birds.


We are apt to think Of reptiles as
creeping and crawling things, forget
ting that there was time when flying
reptiles were more common than birds.
These reptiles, the pterodactyls, or fly
ing dragons, not only flew, but some
Of them reached a size much greater
than that Of any bird, for the largest
birds do not fly. The South American
condor sometimes measures as much as
ten and one-half feet from tip to tip
of outstretched wings, and it is quite
possible that the finest examples of
the albatross may measure a little
more. But the great pterodactyls
which flew about the sea that in the
days Of old reached from the Gulf of
Mexico to the Rocky Mountains, meas
ured as much as twenty feet, the
width Of an average city lot across
their wings.
Most of us have seen an eagle flying,
and we can appreciate the size of this
ancient dragon by remembering that it
was nearly three times the size of an
eagle. 1t was not, however, three
times as heavy, for the body Of this
strange reptile was so small and its
skeleton SO wonderfully light that the
entire animal is thought to have weigh.
ed not more than twenty-five pounds.
or only about as much as a large con-
dor. One of the largest bones of the
wing, two feet long and two inches
through, was, as Prof. Williston tells
us, no thicker than sheet Of blotting
paper, and the great head, with beak
over three feet long, was equally light
This great toothless beak is believed
to have been used for swapping I'D
fishes; and we can imagine this huge
creature sailing swiftly over the sea-
now and then swooping down to pick
up fish as deftly, for all its size, as
real swallow.
But what did Ornithostoma-this ia
the animals name do with his wings
and beak when he made an occasional
visit to the land? One would think
they must have been very much in his
way, and that the animal was as awk.
ward on the shore as he was graceful
In the air. And how did he start to
fly? With such enormous wings, we
think Ornithostoma must have dwelt
on cliffs about the sea and launched off
them as the gannets do from Bird
Rock. This great flying reptile lived
some six million years ago; the sea
over which 1t flew long ago disap.
