New Gold Field Found.

Much excitement has been caused in
australia by the announcement of the
discovery of a new gold field In the
northern part of the island. Prospectors
are hocking to the territory as rapidly as
possible. In our country the rush for
wealth Is just as much in evidence, but
in the excitement we forget to look after
our health until sickness comes, and then
IT is sometimes too late. Preserve your
health above everything else and YOU will
then have far more precious treasure
than all the gold In the world The best
means of protecting your health is to
take Hostetrer's Stomach Bitters at the
first sign OF indigestion, dyspepsia. con-
stipatlon, biliousness. liver troubles or
malaria 1t positively cures these all
ments Try a bottle and for Yourself

Water Works VIII BE Built at Expense Of
About $4,000.

The special village meeting held at the
town hail on Monday evening. Sept 10,
was well attended, and the expression in
favor OF the proposed water system was
practically unanimous. Moses Newton,
chairman of the investigating committee,
made carefully prepared report as to
the cost of the project, his figures being
between $4,000 and $4,000 after making
liberal allowances for all probable con-
tingencies. The committee recommended
that the village put in the works as set
forth in the report.
Upon rising vote only one person
voted against the measure The follow
ing committee was elected to proceed In
the matter TO engage material and labor,
and to begin work as soon as possble:
Moses Newton, DIR. J.. T. Page, and Col.
j. III. Goulding The committee was also
instructed to call a special meeting as
soon as possible to consider the matter
Of bonding the village in a sufficient
amount to cover the cost of the enter
prise, to elect water commissioners, and
| to do any other business necessary to
| further the work.
The water will be taken from several
springs that will be brought together at
point little way below the large spring
on lIaystack that Is familiar to every one
who has ever been on the mountain.
The quality of the water is excellent and
the supply abundant. In case of any fur
Their need of water, pipe will be laid to
! the large pond.
The distance from the springs to the
distributing reservoir which it Is pro-
! posed to build on lands of Chas. w Bis
| sill over 200 feet above the village Is
about three miles.
! We do not recall the instance where
| there has been such unanimous express
! sion in favor OF a public enterprise as is
/ shown In this undertaking. We can only
! hope that everything will move along
| favorably and that before winter sets in
we shall have everything in working or

sidered is the reduction in insurance
rates. Il. II. Hildreth of Springfield.

duction will be- from Is to % per cent.
according to the efficiency of the system.
This means from $500 to $500 each year

NOT MUCH CHANCE
FOR COUNTY BILL
tMail Special to the Advertiser.)

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Dec. 26.-The
fate of the bill, making the county
act valid. when Congress assemblies
again January 4, seems to be uncer-
tain. Ex-Minister Hatch left Wash
ington several days ago and there is
now no one here to press 1t before the
two houses of Congress. Those who
under ordinary circumstances might
have taken hold and helped the legis-
lation along, are now holding aloof.
after receiving knowledge from the ISL
ands Of opinions entertained there
about II.
Those at all familiar with the ways
of legislation here know that bill
never becomes law unless there is
some one earnestly pushing 1t. Sena-
tor Mitchell gave notice of his inten-
ton to call the bill up again at an
early date. He may yet try to do so
but IL any of the Senators. some of
whom are already aware of the diff
ferent views about the wisdom OF ex-
Minister Hatch's trip here choose to,
they can effectually block it.
The same is true in the House. The
bill might pass there easily but If there
Is any effort exerted to call attention to
the real situation in the islands, it APP
parently could be easily beaten.

COUNTY ACT HIT HARD
CONTINUED from page 81

of Nhe Territory. Query. would 1t
necessarily follow that the power of
said general supervision and control
over the matters of pilotage or towage
carry with 1t the possession and con-
troll Of the carrying power OF such
towage? If so, then the tug Eleu
would go to a Board of Public Insti-
tutions, which the Supreme Court has
decided does not have any existence
in law.
On the last two reasons stated, and
not upon the first, l would suggest
that the tugboat Eleu be not included
in the inventory of the properties to
be transferred to the County of Oahu
under Sec. 1872 Of the County Act.
In reference to the first assigned rea-
son for refusal to transfer. should the
Supreme Court fail to decide that ques-
ton, would respectfully suggest that
you request an opinion of the Attorney
General of the United States. It Is a
matter which should not be decided by
our department. but by the depart
ment of the National Government. We
take 1t that It Is Federal property. but
as to any question OF transfer or sale
the matter would properly be left to
the decision OF the United States At
torney General.
