w. A. Smith 4 Co. through
their attorney, J. S. Dewell,
went before Judge Wheeler in
Council Bluffs and got a re-
strainlng order prohibiting the
boards of supervisors of the two
counties from taking any furth-
er action in regard to the con-
struction of the ditch. The
grounds on which the restrain
ing order was issued is as fol-
lows: The contract was not
let to the lowest bidder. The
bid of w. A. Smith & Co. on
the LIST section was Sis, 1922. 70
lower than the bid accepted.
The bid of w. A. Smith & Co.,
on the construction of the en-
tire ditch was $26,G31.1S less
than the bid accepted. The
Judge set Saturday, June 18th
as the time of final hearing on
the application at which time
he will decide whether the in.
junction shall be made perman-
ent or not. The members of
the boards the county auditors
and the parties at interest were
served with the papers this
morning. Mr.. Smith says that
if it is to be the course of the
boards to let the ditch contracts
to the highest bidders instead
of the lowest biders he will
bid high enough next time.

fld9 Day
Strenuous effort is being
made to create a general OBJ
servance of the birth of our
lag. Today, Wednesday, June
la, 1905, is the 128th annivers-
ary of the birthday of the
United States flag. 1t is earn
estly requested that every Corps
member display the flag on her
own home on Flag day and to
interest her neighbor SO to DO
do, in order that we as auxil-
larry to the Grand Army Of the
Republic and united with them
in the furtherance of all patri-
otto endeavor may be re cog
nized as those who stand for
our glorious flag and the Grand
and undying principles of lib
erty and honor for which it is
the one true emblem.
When it is considered what
it has cost to give birth to this
flag and what it cost to main
tain it and what it means to
this nation and to the word,
there is no honor too great to
be conferred upon it. Our flag
was born in the throes of lib
erty, wounded in the battles of
freedom and sanctified in the
cause of humanity. 1t should
be honored for all the security
it guarantees, all the mercy it
proclaims, all the power it inn
plies.
1t is the flag that has been
ever raised in honor and never
lowered in disgrace. It is the
flag that represents liberty Of
thought and religious right,
and floats today, beautifully
lowering in the breeze around
her Cuban protege, a protector
ate against the orient, a re-
spected monitor in the celestial
empire, guiding the world in
the solution of a Divine prob
lem, demonstrating against av-
erice and admonishing against
treachery. 1t is the flag that
must not be disgraced as an
advertisement of merchandise
nor displayed for idle purpose.
It is sacred! 1t is sublime!
Next to Holy Writ it should be
our guide, standing for the
equality of man and of woman
to man. 1t is now the peace
maker between hitherto domes-
tic foes. It is a guard against
foreign interference. 1t for
gives the past and points to the
future with more grand
eur than our vision can encom-
pass. 1t is the flag of our re-
union, the flag of the new pos
sessions which Providence has
bestowed, so let the American
people, with one, hand on the
casket of the golden rule and
with the other saluting the
emblem of our liberty and
strength, do honor to our ban
ner as it stands for loyalty be-
tween ourselves and the eleva-
ton of mankind. AS the day
dawns on June 18th hereafter,
let the morning breeze kiss the
fluttering flag from EVERY
housetop and the school houses.
There are no school children
too young to love the flag; none

SURPRISE Party

About seventy-five of Mr..
and Mrs. Fl. d. Adams friends
gathered at their home last
Sunday and drove into the
yard when the bride and groom
appeared and with eyes bigger
than owls eyes they were sera-
naded. They soon caught on
that they were five years mar
ried. The company were invit-
ed into the house, and with the
ladies we'll filled baskets they
soon had a lovely dinner an
nounced. Two hours were call
ed for to do justice to the dim
ner. The afternoon was spent
in music, games and social con-
versation. Mr.. and Mrs. Bar
ney McCrickard were thought
full enough to take their graphic
phone to the delight of all pre-
sent. At 4::3O all started for
their homes wishing Mr.. and
Mrs. Adams many more as hap
py anniversaries as the fifth
was. Mr.. and Mrs. Adams re-
ceived a lovely couch as a token
of esteem.

1 tions be at the present time? I leave
you to judge.
Now. Mr.. Editor. these are only cases
that have come to this doctor in his
practice, and what must it be among

disease is rapidly spreading through
out the island, endangering the horse
/ industry, and that cry of too late" will
| soon be heard.
| The following is clipping from The
Breeder and Sportsman of April list,
| which prints, what ignorance of the
danger of this disease will do.
Experience is a dear school, but
many refuse to learn in any other.
An obstinate Portuguese, who lived
near the town of Picta, in Mendocino
county, had a sick horse about three
weeks ago and consulted a veterinarian
as to the animals trouble. He was
told that his horse had the CHAMBERS,
that it was past curing and that he
had better shoot the animal. Above all
he was warned to be very careful or
he would get the disease himself. The
Portuguese was positive his horse did
not have the CHAMBERS, and, to convince
friend, took a drink out of the horses
bucket, after watering the animal.
Seventeen days afterward the Portu-
guese died in terrible agony. having
contracted the di ease by drinking
from the bucket
I have endeavored for some months
past. in quiet way to have steps taken
to suppress the spread Of this disease,
but to use a word of one of our most
eminent speakers, have not made a
succeed of it.
Aside from the cases as given above,
I know of a large number of others,
the facts of which have been given
me confidentia1Iy, and have reason to
know that a man died of this di ease,
not so very long ago, on this island.
I enclose you letter to me from the
Volcano States and Transportation Co.,
of Hilo. on this subject, that may in
terest you. and your many readers.
In conclusion, allow me to quote
from 'DiSeases of the Horse issued

not be wiped out ii a day, but steps
should be taken to educate the Peep e,
by having competent vets visit each

how to handle the disease and how

a vet through the districts, stopping

he should remain at least three weeks

Mr.. Julian Monsarrat, Pahala, Hawaii:
Dear Sir: I recently had a talk with
you regarding the action Of the Vol
cano Stables in not wishing their an
mails to go into the Kohala District, as
we know of two cases of CHAMBERS that
have come out of Kohala within the
last few months, both animals show
ing abundant evidence of having the
disease in very severe form.
1t is our custom, at the present time.
when anyone wishes to go to Kohala
to drive them as far as Frank Woods's
place on the Kohala Mts. and arrange
with the Kohala Club to take the pas
sengers over the balance of the way.
1t is our earnest opinion that the
government ought to do something
towards suppressing this disease on the
islands Not only is Kohala infected
but several other places on the island
and at the present time, as far as 1
can learn, there is no one who has
authority to take any measures to-
wards suppressing it. If matters are
allowed to continue as they are, I
think it will only be a matter of
few months until everyone owning
stock will be great sufferers. 1t is not
only liable to affect animals but also
human beings. I am informed of the
death of one person who was infected
with this disease which occurred within
the last few months.
shall be very glad to act with you
in doing anything in my power to Sc
cure the support of the government in
this disease on the island.
Very truly yours,

WHEELS OF JUSTICE

The Friend says: One great trouble
with Hawaii is its nepotism. Long
isolated from the mainland, intermar-
rage has been so close that nearly
everybody is related to everyone one
else. This large-familyness is delight
ful-for those in the family. Especial
ly so to the member who goes wrong,
for then he finds the usefulness of a
land full of cousins. Nobody dares
get after him for fear of insulting his
relatives. 1t is about time, however,
to end this era of "what's the odds
as long as it IS in the family?' That
might answer in an island kingdom,
but in an aspirant for American State
hood it is hopelessly out of date. Rev.
Mr.. Westervelt, at the annual meeting
of the Anti-Saloon League, limited at
the remedy. 1t has two parts-frst,
relentless memory; second, independ-
ent voting. The Civic Federation
should, as a matter of public service,
compile carefully statement OF the
record o Teach legislator, showing ex-
actly how he voted on each measure,
make it public now and keep it be-
fore the voters just preceding the pri-
mary and general elections in the fall
of 1906. Then let every voter reso-
lutely scratch the names of those men
who refused to stand for the right
during the recent session. Will the
Civic Federation do this? If it will
and no publication of wider circula-
ton offers its pages for the statement,
The Friend will esteem it a privilege
to print the story of how every legis-
lator served his constituents in 1905
by the way in which he voted upon the
measures brought before the Legisla-
ture.
