Justice John Holden has been engag-
ed the greater part of the past week in
trying the case of j. s. Warner VS.. Geo.
Holcroft, farmer who lives near Pleas
anton. 1t seems that last spring Hol-
croft gave an order to fruit tree
canvasser named McIntire for $1,000
worth of nursery stock which was
assigned to Warner by McIntire.
When the trees were delivered Holcroft
refused to accept them claiming he had
ordered them from Shenandoah
nursery. Warner brought suit for the
amount before Justice Holden, being
represented by Geo. w. Baker, while
Holcroft retained Marion F. Stookey of
this city and T. NJ. Walker of Pleasan-
ton. Justice Holden finally decided
the case giving Warner judgment for
the amount claimed and the costs, the
whole thing amounting to over $500.

A splendid example of the returns
from advertising was shown at Frank
N. Hansells big store Saturday. Last
week Mr.. Hansell used whole page in
each of the Leon papers, and on Satur-
day he had ten clerks employed, who
were busy from morning until night and
it was the biggest single days business
he ever did. And yet some merchants
say it does not pay to advertise, but
Mr.. Hansell attributes much of his sue
cess in business in this city to the fact
that he has used nearly every week
from quarter to whole page of news
paper advertising.

The advertisement of the we'll known
firm of auctioneers, McMains & John
son, of Derby, Iowa, appears in this
issue of The REPORTER. Last year this
firm cried 173 sales, many of them in
Decatur county, and they never had a
single sale at which the owner was not
entirely satisfied with their work.
They rank among the best auctioneers
in the state of Iowa, and are making a
reputation which takes all their dates.
If you are thinking of having sale you
had better select date and get their
services booked in advance, for they
are in great demand and may not be
able to come when you want them, UNI
less the date is reserved.

PROBLEMS
ARE DISCUSSED
SUPERINTENDENT HOLLOWAY
TALKS OVER THE DISPOSITION
OF ROAD MATERIAL.

An interesting meeting was held last
evening between Superintendent Hollo-
way of the Public Works Department
and the Board of Supervisors, the lat
ter being Represented by Chairman
Smith, Supervisors Adams, Lucas,
Moore, Archer and Paele.
The disposition of the Road Depart
ment's material was the first matter
under discussion. Holloway favored
turning it over to the county provided
the Territory could use it when it
needed and that it was kept in good
repair for this reason he believed that
he should have some say in the ap-
pointment of the road superintendent.
The present one, Sam Johnson would
be satisfactory to him. If the county
did not take over the animals and APP
paratus they would be sold. There
was about 100000 of equipment in all.
Continuing he stated that $4,000
had been appropriated to maintain
roads and bridges with a payroll of
$4,000 for Honolulu alone. This COW
cred the cost of maintaining the quar-
ries, He thought that the present
plans for doad construction should be
carried on by the county as far as
possible and that the present road
boards which win go out Of existence
! on July might with advantage be ap-
pointed.
AS to the electric light plant Hollo,
way said that if the Territory was tC

able in most sections, but some pump
ing has become necessary in central
Maui and the water supply is rather
low in eastern and northern Kauai on
the other hand, rather more rain than
is needed has fallen in the Hilo dis
trict of Hawaii, the excessive moisture
interfering to some extent with field
operations. Cane grinding is rapidly
nearing completion, and was finished
last week at Paauhau, Hawaii and
Kihei, Maui. The latter plantation
reports a yield of sugar above the ORR
ginal estimate. Cane planting and
other field operations are being pushed
i'm all of the plantations. The har-
vesting of rice has become general; in
the north Kohala district of Hawaii,
the crop is reported as being short in
quantity and of poor quality. Coffee

trees in windward oahu being greatly

week. The summer crop of pine

gun to make their appearance in CEN

windward districts of Hawaii are in
good condit on, but again need rain
badly in the lower levels of the Kau
district; pastures also need rain in
central and western Maui leeward Ca
hu, and most sections of Kauai. Rub
Der trees in the Nahillu section Of
Maui are growing well. In the Hama
lei district of Kauai, fruit trees have
borne a very poor summer crop; the
yield of pears has been especially
light.

was to have charge should be salts
factory to the superintendent of Pub
lie Works. The Territory will own the
plant still though the county will main
tain it.
If the county did not wish to main
tain the plant and could hire power
for lights from the Electric Light Co.,
then the Territorial plant would be
closed down. The Capitol, territorial
stables, pilot house, etc, were supplied
by the Government plant. The same
current supplied by the Government
plant, if furnished by the Hawaiian
Electric Co.. would be about $500 per
month. Mr.. Holloway wanted a gua-
rantee that the county would supply
lights for the Government buildings.
AS to the garbage department it was
shown the income was about $1,000 d
month. The payroll was about $1,000;
the crematory $500; total, about $4,000
per month. Against this would be a
realization Of about $1,000 for MAIN

Territorial Treasurer Campbell stat
ed that the county would get 10 per
cent monthly of 1917, 900 less 1925, 900 the
Territorial deduction. This system
would hold until the taxes came in in
November.
The board will meet again tonight
when Attorney General Andrews High
Sheriff Henry and Sheriff Brown will
be present.
