HEAVY RAINS THE
PAST TWO DAYS
NEARLY HALF AN INCH HAS
FALLEN DOWN TOWN AND
DELUGES IN THE MOUNTAINS.

The rains of the past forty-eight
hours have been very heavy for this
time of the year. Many people have
drawn the conclusion from it that the
rainy season will begin early this year.
At the weather bureau in Young S
building nearly half an inch of rain has
fallen in the last two days, while In
other parts of the town this amount has
been greatly exceeded.
In the mountains the rains have been
terrific. People living up Tantalus tell
of perfect deluges of rain. The streams
from all the valleys give evidence of
heavy downpour.
Yesterday morning both in Manoa
and Palolo valleys dozens of waterfalls
down the heights in the upper parts of
the valleys, told the story of heavy
downpour.
In Nuuanu valley too, there were
more sparkling waterfalls early yester-
day morning than have been seen there
for long while
Out at Wahiawa it is reported that
the gulch which is being damned up
to create the big resedvoir, has been
running considerable water. but not
more than the emergency tunnel can
take care of. Those interested in the
dam wish it were completed now so
that the abundant rains which have
been falling mauka might be conserv-
ed. However, there is no fear but that
there will be abundant rains later to
fill and refill the reservoir

RAILROAD TO
PINEAPPLE LAND
OAHU RAILWAY WILL HAVE ITS
THE BEGINNING OF JULY.

BY the first day of July next the
strident whistle of the locomotive will
be awakening the echoes of the gulches
round Wahiawa and the colonists will
be able to laugh at the Oahu super
visors who have neglected the road
from Pearl City.
fastened doubtless by the mooted
building of an Independent road from
Honolulu to the pineapple country, the
oahu Railway & Land Company has
absolutely decided to commence the
building of the spur line. 1t will leave
the main line at Waipahu, using such
of the present track to the oahu mill
as is available. Past the mill the line
will run up the Waikakalaua gulch to
the settlement, crossing the United
States military reservation.

"the line will be about ten miles in
length and will have a three per cent

settlement. There are no very serious
engineering problems in the cOnstruc-
ton of the line and barring accidents

The company has arranged to run

BILL WILL Be

MANAGER COHEN MAKES AN AL
ITERATION IN THE WORK OF THE
BUTLER COMPANY'S PROGRAM.

From this week on the BUTLER Stock
Company, now playing at the Orpheum,
will change its bill twice a week in
stead of three times
Il hive two reasons for making the
change" said manager Cohen this
morning. In the first place it is easier
on the company there is less to re-
hearse and we are able to give more
finished performances. Secondly, it is
too much to expect people to go three
times a week to the theater, any num-
Der Of people want to see every one of

COUNTY WILL GET
ABOUT S250,00O
BUT ACCORDING TO SUPERVISOR
SMITH IT WILL HAVE TO LIVE
ON IT FOR SIX MONTHS.

There is a misrepresentation regard
ing the sum Of money which the County
of Oahu is to receive in January" said
Chairman G.. w. Smith Of the Board of
Supervisors this morning. Il have
heard it said that we will get about
$25O,0OO, hnd, approximately, l suppose
that is about correct. but some people
seem to think that this sum is for the
month of January alone. 1t is nothing
of the kind, however, for it will have
to last us for six months. Thus we will
have a little over $4,000 month for
the first six months of next year. That
is better than we have been doing
though"

Why Iowa Farms Are High

A trip OF ten miles in the country in
Iowa brought TO light some new facts.
Or this ten mile trip there We're not less
than twenty new farm houses and barns
that have been erected within a very
short time, most of them during what
was supposed to be the worst crop sea
son farmers have had for q good many
years. These are not little houses and
barns, but magnificent affairs that mark
them as permanent improvements, cost
ing thousands OF dollars and as good
as any farmer would care To have, no
matter how wealthy. The residences
cost from 1.500 to $4,000. and the barns
from $1,000 to $1,000. as good buildings
as o find on farms In any country, 40
matter where you travel. Instead OF
simply a barn on the farms, there are
usually a half a dozen OF other build
ings. granaries. corn cribs built In the
form of small barns. On this ten mile
trip there was a continuous corr field,
very little that will yield less thar fifty
bushels to the acre. and lots of Ii that
will reach seventy,
Magnificent herds Of cattle and hogs
dot the pastures and an air OF prosperity
prevails the entire distance. This trip
was made southeast OF town, and the
same conditions prevail in other direc-
tons, With his telephone in the house
and mail delivered every day at his
door, ii is little wonder the town faring
man envies his farmer neighbor his
prosperity. of which he is most desery-
ing. There is probably not a farm Of
those we mentioned that could be pur-
chased today for less than 500 per
acre, says the Manson, Ia, Journal. 1t
is not many years ago that we drove
over the same nut At that time the
house were meee places in which 10
live. Most anything did for a. barn or
stable to shelter the stock. There were
no fences and every farm was held in
place with a substantial mortgage.
These same farmers am to Manson
dressed in rags and their credit at the
bank was very shaky. In fact, many Of
them had none. To-day where. they
formerly had no. credit they now have
money on deposit. The panoramic
change has been made within a few
years, and 1t has been made from the
soil, and that is why Iowa land. north
west Iowa especially, Is worth 500 per
aCre.

Nebraska as a Corn State

The governments crop report for Mo-
vember contains many things of inter-
est, but nothing of so much importance
to Nebraskans as the epo on the
corn crop. says Farm Machinery. This
report shows that OF all the corn states
Nebraska has a rival only. In Illinois
for supremacy in yield per acre and in
quality OF product. This in a year
when all the corn states are harvesting
large crops OF good quality.
Comparative figures In this case are
valuable az indicating not only quality
OF climate and soil in h different
states. but the quality of the farmers
as well. Diminishing such states as
New Jersey or Rhode Island, where
corn is grown more as a garden than
as a field crop. or Utah. where X is
grown only under irrigation at the ex-
pense OF much labor, Nebraska makes
a showing that nay be somewhat start

rotary Wilson'S arid belt The aver
age yield per acre in Nebraska is given
at 22.S bushels. an average that is ex-
c-vded only by Illinois OF those states

industry. Iowa m next. being only
two-tenths bushels below Nebraska,
while Missouri. Kansas. Minnesota and

ity in this state is SO, beating Illinois
by four points, Iowa by eight. Missouri
by ten, Kansas by eleven, Indiana by
ten and Michigan by twenty-seven.
Nebraska is nine points above the av-
erage Of the whole country in quality,
and six bushels to the acre above the
average yield in a yea when the gem
eral average is two and a half bushels
above the ten year average for the
country.

A Good Substitute.

In a recent issue OF the New York
Independent, Professor Simon N. Pat
ten, of the University OF Pennsylvania.
censures the social sentiment that pre-
vents n married oma from earning
money even though her home is not
large enough TO occupy most OF her
time, and though her husbands wages
are insufficient TO maintain ii. He
points out the familiar fact that the
specialization of industries has robbed
the modern woman of the work which
her grandmother was accustomed to
TO. The famiiy's clothing, bedclothes
N rugs, while once We're made at
home, are bought in a store nowadays.
In the professors opinion the change
has had unfortunate results in its waste
of the energies of a large number of
women who are forced to live i'm COM
parative idleness. Unless their efforts
can ~profitably be employed in the man
agement of the home. they become
chiefly spenders of a scanty income,
whereas In former years they were pro-
ducers of valuable goods. One of the
effects of the altered conditions. he
thinks, is the Discrimination OF young
men on small salaries 10 marry.
People are beginning TO r~edlscoyer
the beauty and durability of handmade
ware-of handsome rugs n portieres
and coyerlets, as well as OF pottery and
the more ~pretentious pieces of art work.
Industries of considerable Importance
have been built up near New Orleans.
Asheville, n. c.; Berea, KY; In Carroll
county, New Hampshire; In Oxford
county, Maine, and in various other
leighborhoods. A woman manager lis
usually in charge and markets the
product. In some of the handicrafts
centers exceedingly artistic work lis
done. Vegetable dyes are used in pref
erence TO analine and some fine color
effects are secured. Some purchasers.

by the farmers wives to the orientai
fabrics because of their novelty and
the distinctively American character of
the designs"
More elaborate hand industries have
been established in most of the large

Cincinnati, in which most of the deco
ratorS are young women students of
the art academy OF that city.

musk standing corn, an invention that
the farmers have been waiting for
many years. While the price now keeps
the machine out of the reach OF many
farmers, yet they could club together
and buy one.
In 1900 Iowa's farms. without build

ments and machinery. The poor, down

A number Of problems suggest them
selves in an analysis OF the results OF
the past years farm work. One OF the
chief OF these is the scarcity of labor
which constitutes a serious question,
Many schemes have been devised to
overcome the difficulty. but they have
not been permanent. The introduction
of unskilled laborers from the old
country has not been entirely benefi-
ciaI. az a good deal of trouble and labor
is required 10 equip these men for diff

Another drawbacks the lateness OF the
Winter runs into the middle
Of what was once known as spring, and
the handicap Is not overcome as the
succeeding seasons go by. The fan is
advantageous in that it permits of a
good deal OF preparatory work for the
following season, but the lateness OF
the spring is a hardship. When meth
DDS have been devised to overcome
these handicaps the Ontario farmer
will haze greater reason TO be pleased
