Special Correspondence Of The STAR.
KINEO, Moosehead Lake Maine.
October Ia. 1906.
Sportsmen are discussing Names present
moose law pretty freely this fall. and the
objection which has long existed to 1t Is
forming itself into determined effort to
bring about change, and to have the open
season begin October L instead of Octo-
Der 15.
The sportsmen argue that there is no rea-
sonable excuse for the law in Its present
form, and that there are a great many
things against 1t. First of all. October Is
the month to hunt in Maine. from a cli-
matte standpoint, and that Is really what the
majority Of the visitors are in reality COM
ing for. They are not bothering Them
selves about the superb conditions for
trailing which exist with the coming or
snow.
The general feeling among all concerned
is that Maine has imposed a good many re-
strictions upon visitors, and that the ops
portunity Is ripe for her to recompense In
a small way; that the state will make
very serious mistake IL she does not mako
immediate provision for the opening OF
moose hunting October !. at a time when
deer hunting now begins, ana at a season
agreeable for woods life. The sport" OF
getting frozen in and toting OUT canoe
and baggage has long since ceased TO att
tract those who have experienced the sensa-
tion once.

Driver Failed to Respond.

Two horses attached to a heavy load OF
sand going along M street between 25d and

with the driver lying in the wagon in an
Intoxicated condition, was the sight which
greeted Humane Officer Pailas.
When he was taken to the station house

Result of Financial Depression.

1t was this way: Up to four or five years
ago there had been for some years a large
and increasing consumption of bricks in
building operations In Honolulu. This had
been stimulated by great fire In China
town. the result OF sanitary operations On
account OF plague. The rebuilding of the
old wooden structures was required to be
made with brick or stone, brick being the
cheaper. In the main business part of the
city also there was extensive addition OF
business blocks. Altogether the consump-
ton of bricks came to average 100000 a
month. The great cost of importing such
quantities from California seemed fully TO
Justify the attempt at home production. But
by the time the new brick yard got into
full operation. turning out 450,o bricks a
month, the consumption of bricks fell off,
and soon almost entirely ceased. There
were several causes for this change. One
was that Chinatown had become mainly re-
built. Another was that the extension of
the business center OF the city had exceeded
the demand for new stores. and many such
remained unoccupied. At the bottom of the
whole business was the general financial de-
preston caused by the low prices of sugar
Since four years ago the white population
of Honolulu has greatly diminished: rents
of dwellings and stores have gone down,
and real estate has shrunk In value per-
haps 20 per cent So there has been little
call for bricks and the new brick yard has
been dismantled and sold out.
1t Is true that there has been during these
four years considerable growth of the city
In its outer suburbs. These have been made
extremely accessible by the trolley cars,
and the delicious breezes and elevated sites
have tempted many citizens to build In

Hawaii Too Young for Minerals.


Among the peculiarities of the Hawaiian
Islands is their extreme poverty in all min
erals of commercial value We have no
ores of iron or copper, no veins of gold or
silver. no deposits of COAL. Our rocks and
formation Time has not served for their
weathering down, the reassortment Of their
substance in deep strata under ocean and
lake, and the re-elevation into broad plains
and mountains, as has been done on a
vast scale through tens of millions of years
On the great continents. The greatest age
that can be claimed for the Oldest of our
Islands is back in the miocene tertiary, pos
sibly two or three million years ago, since
the earliest volcanoes of Kanai or Oahu be-
gan TO pile up great lava domes by their
copous eruptions. The great productive
early geological periods. the cretaceous, the
carboniferous. had no existence In this mid
Pacific, or IL they even dwelt In old con-
tinental forms. such ancient continents long
ago disappeared beneath the ocean.
Nearly all the metallic veins, and espe-
cially those of the precious metals. are the
result of protracted processes OF slow i'll
tering and gathering of such metals
through periods of millions of years, aided
by solution In superheated waters. Do you
know that water held under many miles Of
pressure in the white-hot depths of the
earth's crust, at a heat of over loo de-
grees, becomes an acid of enormous SOL
vent and corrosive power, and may hold
the most obstinate metals in solution and
gather them into veins az the mountainS

finds and digs them out
Poor Hawaiian mountains are modern.
and have gathered no such riches Even
so cheap and common a mineral as clay
is lacking In utilizable purity in any large
quantities. We have always imported our
pottery and our bricks with one exception
in the latter case. Occasionally are found
local deposits of volcanic ejecta, which are
sufficiently rich in clay for bricks A very
promising enterprise in brick making was
started a few years ago in the vicinity OF
Honolulu. After considerable search large
deposit of available clay was found about
two miles up the great Nunauu valley. 1t
seems to have been peculiar election from
a comparatively recent Turf cone which had
made a blowout in the middle of the valley
100000 years ago more. 1t was bought
up, and fine brick-making plant was put
in operation But it was doomed to fail
ure.

HONOLULU. September %. 1906.
Politics in Hawaii have been fairly quiet
since Governor Carter returned a month or
SO ago and resumed the duties of Office.
which had been quite efficiently dis
charged by the acting governor who was
the territorial secretary, young Jack At
kinson. There has continued to be con-
siderable squabbling on minor points among
the new county officials. who do not seem
yet to have become used to the details
OF their work, or to have adjusted all the
technical minutiae of the new county ar
rangements. We do not, however, hear OF
graft or corruption. Wait until everything
has shaken into place.
Gov. Carter has stirred up some little
animosity by exercising an apparently arbi-
trary power. The late legislature had au-
thorized loan of about one million and
quarter, I believe, with corresponding
amount of specified expenditures for pub
lie improvements. The governor, no doubt
prudently. has ordered an issue Of bonds
for the present, of only $4,000. And, be-
sides. he has on his own authority made
selection from the legislative appropria-
lions Of such items Of expenditure as in
his own judgment he deems the most I'M
portant, while postponing other Items to
which other citizens might give the pref
erence- This has not unnaturally aroused
some criticism and resentment as an arbi-
trary assumption of power. Such selective
action on the part of the administration
has been common In Hawaii under former
governments; but 1t was thought that
"Americanization" of public affairs would
end that sort of thing as 1t does not seem
10 have done.
There does not continue to be any Sc
rious frothing over this grievance, however.
Perhaps vein Of popular sentiment was
expressed the other day to friend Of
mine by a half white woman of the home
rule stripe of politician: Garter no good
he all same king" The Hawaiian royalist
does not object to royal arbitrariness, but
he wants 1t exercised by genuine Kanaka
monarch.

THE CASE OF BROWN
Receiver Wilson Gives More Damas-
ing Evidence Regarding the Failure
of the First National at Storm Lake.

Sioux City, Oct. IA. ]. Wilson, who
was appointed receiver for the defunct
bank of w. e. Brown at Storm Lake,
testified in damaging manner against
the defendant. He said that in the list
of resources included in Browns report
to the controller of the currency We're
a number of corporations of which w.
e. Brown was the sole owner.
Brown had organized these compan-
les under various names and then loan
ed them sums ranging from $4,000 to
$4,000 from the First National Bank
Of Storm Lake, of which he was presi-
dent. In this manner Wilson figures
that Brown was in debt to the bank
$4,000.
Wilson submitted to the court a
report Of the actual condition of the
bank, showing discrepancies in many
ways with the report filed at Washing
ton by Brown himself.

and Property
LOVE AFFAIR PROBABLE CAUSE
Relatives Have Been Hunting For
Months, But Have Not Been Able
to Locate Him-Father Makes Pro-

He Ever Returns.
Special to Times-Republican.

Forest City, Oct. 1.-THE matter Of
the estate of II. Oster was brought up
in court here this week and recalls the
young mans strange disappearance.
His case is one of the most peculiar
that has ever happened here. Last
summer he hauled load of grain to
town from his home in Grant township.
He had told his people that he intended
grain he went home and put away his
team. Then he walked to Thompson
and took a train to Forest City. That
was the last ever seen of him.
1t is reported that he had previous
| ly stated to some friends that he eX-
ipected to go on d trip and that he
would never be seen again in this part
! of the world. 1t is also said that he
told another friend that he intended
to go away where he was not known,
and kill himself.
But what is to be done with your
property?" he was asked.
THAT will make no difference to
me-" he replied. Il will have no fur
Their use for any property" and this
is the last he has been known to have
said to any Of his friends.
Mr.. Oster was a man Of considerable
wealth, although a young man, shav-
ing been owner of large amount Of
real estate in this county and also in
Minnesota. While there were some
claims against part of his property it
was not sufficient to discourage him
as he was most successful and well
liked farmer. The only reason to be
ascribed for his strange leaving is on
account of the rumor to the effect
that he had been disappointed in love
affair."
His father is one Of the Oldest and
wealthiest settlers of Grant township
and has utilized every effort in trying
to locate his son, but to no avail, and
he is interested in few cases on the
docket for this term Of court in
Strengthening his financial affairs and
saving whatever possible of his prop
erty. 1t is also said that his father ex-
poets to draw another will this fall in
apportioning of his property, leaving
$1.0O to his lost son, together with
the understanding that should he re-
turn after the death of his father the
original estate should be again divi-
ded by the other children, giving this
son his due share.
1t is a very strange case, the sons
