To Be Depended On
Because 1t Is the Experience
of a Honolulu Citizen and
Can Readily be In
vestigated.

A stranger lost in a large city would
place far more dependence on the d.
rections given him by a local resident
than the guidance of another stranger
like himself. This Is natural conse-
quence of experience: it's like a ship
IN strange port--a trusty pilot fami-
liar with the hal Dor Is always called
upon to bring her safely to her moor
ings. So 1t Is with endorsement; we
doubt the sayings of people living at q
distant point because we can't investi-
gate. but public expression of local
citizens can be depended upon, for tits
an easy matter to prove 1t. Evidence
like the following Is beyond dispute:-
Mr.. w. F.. Williams of this city. Is a
lighthouse keeper, and he has held this
position for the last 80 years. He says:
II was for a number OF years. one of
that numerous army of people who
suffer with their backs. Mine ached
and panied me to no small extent. SO
that l was glad when l heard OF REM
edy for it, Doan's Backache Kidney
Pills. l obained some of these ut the
HOLSTER Drug Co.'s store, and took
them. They gave me great relief. and
/ make this short narration of my ex-
periences for the benefit of others who
perhaps do not know that nearly all
backache arises from the kidneys, and
the best medicine for 1t is Doan's Back

CHEAP RATE
TO VOLCANO
Round Trip From Hilo
To Be Made for
$3.50.

one OF the men who goes to New
Zealand and around there in the inter-
est OF the Standard Oil Company, MIR.
w. q. Robertson, together with ii. II.
Dempsey, the new tourist agent for
the Oceanic Steamship Company. are
now In Honolulu. having come up ON
the last Kinau from Hiio. They have
been on visit to the volcano and are
both most enthusiastic over the ex-
perience.
why said Mr.. Dempsey. 1.-The trip
to the Islands Is not complete without
seeing the volcano. / shall take care
to tell all tourists that hereafter. Homo
lulu is most beautiful. 1t Is worth
coming to see. But the volcano is
unique. That is something that can
be seen nowhere else In the world.
Every tourist that / send down here
will have that made clear to him here
after"
And" said Mr.. Robertson, 1.-The Vol
| cano House Is excellently kept and liz
itself beautiful spot. The only thing
| lacking is good place to stop in Hilo.
There Is a good restaurant there and
1 have no complaint to make OF my
| room, but at the same time 1 think IL
would be better II there was a hotel
where every stranger who arrives
would be sure to be well taken care OF.
You see, sometimes the steamer is late
and that makes II awkward in case a
visitor does not know where to CO."
Il think" broke In Mr.. Dempsey,
| that the management of the Volcano
| House should have place in Hilo also,
and take visitors right in hand on
landing there, put them up in Hilo for
the night. take them out to the vol
cano and then bring them back in time
so that they would get rested before
taking the steamer to Honolulu"
And l will do that yet" said George
Lycurgus, when the matter was sug-
gested to him. Anyway, I'm going to
| make a cheap rate to the volcano next
week. / suppose there will be some
visitors to Hilo during the dedication
of the new park there on January 2.
Well, 1 will take people from Hilo to
the Volcano House and return and give
| them board for three days, landing
them in Hilo in time to catch the
steamer to Honolulu Friday morning.
for $3.50. That will be pretty low
rate i think. One of my men from
| here, John Dedor, goes down on the
next Kinau to take charge of my res
taurant in Hilo, and one of the cooks
from the grill will go at the same time"

1t was stated that Kauai wanted a

TAX ASSESSOR HOLT WILL
CONTEST EVA ASSESSMENT

Three tax appeals We're decided to-
gether by the Tax Appeal Court, in a
deliverance filed yesterday. They are
those of Eva Plantation Co., Ltd,
Railway & Land Co., Ltd, against Jas.
L. Holt, tax assessor, having been con-
solidated for trial before T. f. Lam
sing, ]. F. Brown and j. r. Gait,
constituting the court for the first tax
alton division. Robertson & Wilder
appeared for the assessor, and Castle
& Wilmington for the appellants.
AS the decision stands there is a
gain of s6467SO on the assessments
over the returns of the appealing tax
payers, or $6467SO in collectable taxes.
On the other hand there is a reduction
of $1,04S,000 on the assessors valua-
tion or loss of $10,4S0 in collectable
taxes-this on the property of Eva
Plantation Co. If the assessor be not
sustained by the Supreme Court, then
there Is a net difference against his
claims of over $4,000 in taxes.
Tax Assessor Holt will carry the
Eva Plantation Co. case on appeal be-
fore the Supreme Court. He made the
assessment, not on the basis of capital
stock valuation but on that of earning
capacity, relying on a unanimous de-
cision of the Supreme Court on a large
group of sugar plantation appeals
18th Hawaiian 235-in which the follow
ing remarks are made:
Gan enterprise may pay handsomely
one year and even suffer loss another
year. and yet the value of its property
may vary but little during the two
years. The tax in question is not an
income tax, depending for its amount
upon the income for the year preced-
ing, but tax on property the earning
power of which is one of the most
potent factors in determining its
value
In assessing Eva Plantation Co., the
assessor had under his hand the fol-
lowing data of the enterprise:

mated that the Territory will save a

The appellant as lessee has an as

pear as having been assessed against
the Eva Plantation Company, Ltd, in
its assessment as an enterprise for
profit.
The appellant leases from the Camp
bell Estate 10000 acres of land at an
annual rental of $1,000, an average of
one dollar per acre.
The appellant sub-leases a portion
of said land, amounting to 1874 acres,
to the Eva Plantation Co. Ltd, which
is the land in question.
The evidence shows that in 1903 the
appellant received from the Eva Plan

the equivalent of rental, on the land
in question, amounting to $4,000.
In making a liberal estimate Of the
net profits to the appellant from the
land in question, the court is of the
opinion that the assessment made by
the assessor Of $240OOO is a fair assess

Of state presidents occupied most Of
yesterdays session Of the National
American Woman Suffrage association,
At the morning session Henry q.
Blackwell, chairman of the presiden-
tial committee, reported that the at
tention OF the state secretaries has
been called to the fact that every state
Legislature may at any session, by q
simple change in the election law,
enable its women citizens to vote in
the presidential election on the same
terms as the male citizens or on any
qualifications Of education or proper
~ which It may see At to prescribe.
During the year Federated Australia
has conferred the national suffrage on
all the women Of that continent and
over 100000 Of them have Just exer-
cised their right for the first time.
The committee reported that the
near approach Of the presidential cleo
ton has increased the difficulty of Sc
curing Affirmative action on the suf-
frsge question here, but that during
the lull that succeeds the presidential
campaign year special efforts should
be made.

SITUATION In BALTIMORE.
Regular Business-The Work of Clear
ing the streets Being Pushed.

Baltimore, Md, Feb. 13.-That Bal
timore is TO rise from its ashes NOR,
substantial, more modern and far more
symmetrical, needs no further proc
than was made manifest yesterday BY
the renewed expression on the part Of
Mayor McLane and the committee Of
public safety of leading citizens that
no building permits shall be issued
until plan Of realigning certain thor
oughfares whose crookedness and mar
rowness have long constituted a blem-
ish as well as embarrassment to, mu-
nicipal growth. There is grim deter
mlnation visible on all sides that the
public's compensation for the fiery Or
deal through which 1t has passed shall
be the rising of q metropolis which
shall be distinguished among American
cities for both its material substance
and Its architectural art. The mayor
and the committee of safety are re-
solved that shells of buildings shall
not be run up between flreproof
structures, as in the past, and thus
serve as standing invitation to the
flames.
The business situation appeared
brighter yesterday than at any time
since the great catastrophe. The reg
ular transactions Of business in the
chamber Of commerce, including dis
plays Of southern grain, hay, straw
and mill feed, and the three usual calls
and the posting Of out-of-town mar
kets. together with the receipt Of grain
by elevators and the payment Of all
checks by banks, were events that es-
tablished confidence throughout the
business community.
Very naturally the urgent demands
for location by firms made homeless
by the fire has created much activity
among real estate men and there has
been disposition on the part of some
owners to unduly advance prices. Sew
eral good property deals have been
already contaminated.
The task Of clearing the piles Of
brick, mortar and rubbish from the
streets in the ire-scourged district
was pushed forward yesterday with
energy.
The work Of emptying the safe de-
post vaults in the ruined buildings
las progressed rapidly. This Is being |
lone with extraordinary precautions. /
