A Selfish Monopoly.

Two men were discussing monop.
olies, one maintaining that there are
both good and bad monopolies, and
that those he was connected with are
distinctly of the good sort. Then, says
the New York Tribune, he proceeded
to illustrate what bad monopoly Is,
and to show the nature of a bad mo-
nopolist:
There was young man IN the South
who went one summer on a visit to
some relatives in the North. On his
return he sought out another young
man, and said, impressively:
Look ahere, l understand that you
took advantage of my absence from
town last month to so calling on Miss
Henrietta Brown"
You are mistaken" the other man
answered. ut is her sister, Miss
Clarissa Brown, that I've been calling
on"
well, sir" said the first, "that
makes no difference. I've got my eye
on both them girls"

Much Timber Uncut,

Across the great lakes In Canada
there lies one Of the worlds largest
reserves of timber. In spite of the
tariff imposed much of this timber Is
to-day coming to the United States.
The forests of the Dominion are begin
ming to yield abundantly. More than
100,000,000 feet Of pine sawlogs and
square timber, during a recent season,
were cut upon territory held under
timber license from the crown.
Much of Canada's timber land has
not yet even been explored. In the
newly developed districts of Algoma,
which are close to. the great lakes, it
is estimated that there are more than
1O0,OO0,OOO cords of spruce and pulp
wood, while in the districts of Thun-
der Bay and Rainy River there are
nearly 200O00,0O0 cords more. A belt
at least 5000 miles long is believed to
exist in Canada between Alaska and
the Atlantic.
1t has been estimated that, at the
present rate of cutting, the greatest
timber resources of the United States
those of the Pacific coast-will be
exhausted in less than half century.
The annual cut of shingles and lumber
in these regions is 4,500,0O0,O0O feet.
The standing timber in Washington,
Oregon and northern California at
present is twice that Of the original
timber lands of the northern woods.
Washington produces about as many
feet of shingles and other lumber as
Oregon and California together. This
State is noted for its shingles, there
being more than 1000 shinge mills
within it's borders. At Tacoma are To-
Gated the largest sawmills in the
United States.

Rhymes of the Season,

When the summer time has ended and
the saucy autumn breeze
Gets to toying with the leaves on all
the brilliant colored trees,
All, tits then the hearts grow lighter
and the spirits start to rise,
When the frost is on the pumpkin and
the pumpkins in the pies.
When the days are growing shorter and
the birds have gone away,
And the corn is growing ripper in the
fields from day to day,
There's rosy glow pervading all the
hazy autumn skies,
When the frost is on the pumpkin and
the pumpkins il the pies.
When the hammocks have been put
away and open cars are gone.
And you never see tennis player chas-
ing on the lawn,
When the college people gather and Won
hear the football cries,
Then the frost is on the pumpkin and
the pumpkins in the pies.
You recall with lots of pleasure all the
summer days could give,
But since the autumn days have started,
then you know it's joy to live,
AS your mouth begins to water, and
there's gladness in your eyes,
When the frost is on the pumpkin and
the pumpkins in the pies.

Curing Cats of Disease.

Diseased seed oats are now medi-
Gated while passing through elevators,
a number of the grain elevators Of
Indiana having been equipped for the
purpose. The peculiar ailment to
which oats are most susceptible Is
known as smut and unless treated
such oats produce very inferior crops.
However, the disease can be cured
quite easily, and the medicament is
simply formaldehyde, that much
abused germicide.
To treat the oats veritable drop Or
chute about three feet square and forty
to fifty feet high is prepared, on the
inside of which are placed shelves or
defectors sloping downward, alternat-
Ing on two opposite sides from top to
bottom. As The grain drops from the
top it is thrown from side to side by
the deiectors and thus thoroughly
mixed.
By means Of small steam pump the
fGrmaldehyde is then thrown, in the
form Of fine spray, against the falling
grain near the top of the drop. By the
time the grain reaches the bottom it is
thoroughly moistened, being allowed to
remain in this condition several hours,
after which it is run through the drop
second time, with blast Of cold air
replacing the stream of formaldehyde
spray, by which it is thoroughly dried.

AN ARTIST At WORK.


A man with shrewd gray eyes walk

carefully observing everything. Sud-
denly he paused, then rushed toward
a rain-pipe attached to a building and
rammed his cane into it. The familiar
squealing Of rat pierced the air.
All daughters of Eve within hear

place. Men and boys began to crowd
round. People came from across the
street. Carts and cabs halted.
"Say, mister, that stick amt long

suggested another.
Evidently the owner of the shrewd
gray eyes did not desire advice, but
intended to deal with that rat accord

slightest attention to the remarks, but
continued vigorously to ply his cane.

At last the star performer glanced
over his shoulder-the crowd was
packed and jammed behind him, and
two policemen on the outskirts were
'rugging to make an opening-the
psychological moment was come.
The man removed something from
between his teeth, and extended it to
ward the crowd.

About Bird,s.Exa Mamie.

For hundreds of years lumbermen
and cabinet-makers have been study
Ing to learn what causes maple wood
to assume the mottled and spotted
form known as "bird's-eye." In a
hundred rock maple trees perhaps one
Is a bird's-eye. Nobody can pick the
specific tree out by inspecting the bark
or the manner Of growth. You may
have to chop 200 trees before you find
one, but it is worth the sacrifice.
Fact is, the woodpeckers make all
the bird's-eye maple there is in the
world. In flying about the woods
they come to rock maple tree that
yields very sweet sap in the season
when sap is running. Most birds like
sweets s-woodpeckers are very fond of
sugar. Having found tree yielding
a large per cent of sugar, the birds
peck holes in the trunk and tnen
stand against the bark and drink the
sap as it oozes out.
After the sap has ceased to flow and
the trees have leaved out new wood
and bark form in those small holes.
The pecking and sap-gathering goes
on for years until the tree, having
given up so much sap to the birds, be-
gins to furnish fluid containing less
sugar. In ten or twelve years after
the birds quit tree the holes are all
grown up and nobody can pick out the
big bird 's-eyes from other trees that
the woodpeckers did not visit.-New

WITNESS GIVES BAIL
FOR APPEARANCE

A wireless message received from
gal, the japanese physician wanted as
witness in the Moriyama murder
case, who had been ordered home by
the Mikado to join the army. had ap-
peared before Judge Parsons at Hilo
and given cash bail in the sum of $500
for his appearance in court when want
ed. And that probably closes the in
ternationaI incident, leaving the doc
tor free TO go home to Japan and fight
if it pleases him-or rather to minister
to the needs of others who fight.
However, that does not altogether
meet the desires of the Attorney Cen
erals office, perhaps. DR.. Nagai, it
will be remembered, is the principal
witness in the murder case that will
soon come to trial i'll Huo. The doc
tor was called to attend the man mur-
dered, and before he died it is stated
that Moriyama told the doctor the
name of the man who had killed him.
The Importance of the testimony of the
witness viii be appreciated, therefore.
In fact, without his testimony it is ex-
tremely likely that the case against the
murderer will fall to the ground. And.
even if he has given bail, there is moth
ing to prevent the Japanese physician
forfeiting it if he sees fit: it is not a
large amount. He will certainly for
felt it if a stray bullet should happen
along his way
Or. Nagai will be in Honolulu on the
next Kinau and it is just possible that
he will find the Attorney Generals Of
fee here prepared TO take some further
action in the matter.

Conclude to Act With

Bodies.

The Merchants Association has in

! joint committee with others to be ap-
| pointed by the Planters Association
and the Chamber of Commerce in an
| will meet with the approval of the
commercial community and of the gen
eral public, and do away with the evils
of the present tax system. The secre-
tary was instructed at meeting of the
merchants held yesterday afternoon to
notify the other bodies of the action
taken, and request them to appoint the
required committees.
The Merchants Association met for
the purpose of considering the tax re-
port presented by its committee, Messrs.
James Wakefield, H. F. Wichman and
T. J. King, although Mr.. King did not
sign the submitted report. The meeting
yesterday was not, at the first, large
dropped in while it was in progress.
President Smith called the meeting to
order, and regretted that the import
ance of the subject matter under dis
cussion had not called out a fuller at
tendance. He said that the report of
the tax committee had been published,
and had caused considerable comment
favorable and otherwise, and that in
this relation one of the members of the
committee had in his possession letter
from Mr.. Bowen, of Castle Il Cooke,
which he thought might be read as the
best method of bringing the whole sub
ject of the report before the meeting
The letter was accordingly read by
Secretary Trent, as follows:

HONOLULU HARBOR
AND LEPROSY BILL
(Mail Special to the Advertiser.)

(Mail Special to the Advertiser.)
WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 23.-The
Delegate saw President Roosevelt last
Thursday and talked with him about
the Honolulu harbor appropriation and
also about the leprosy bill, although
very much less about the latter meas
ure than about the former. The Pres
ident had assured him that he (Roose-
velD would consult with anybody Ku-
hio might suggest.
To this end the President wrote a
note which Kuhio took to Secretary
Taft, requesting him to use his utmost
efforts toward helping along an ap-
preparation for Honolulu harbor. At
the Thursday conference the President,
at the Delegates suggestion, agreed
about the appropriation. At that time
the chairman was expecting to bring
the bill out daily but it was believed
that the Presidents interest in the
projects, when made known to Mr..
Burton in such a way, would enable
him to handle it better with mcrib bers
of his committee.
Delegate Kuhio has also Interested
the President further in the leprosy bill
and the President will talk with certain
of the House leaders, including Colonel
Hepburn, chairman of the House In
terstate Commerce Committee.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Jan. 23.-The
annual report of the SecrrtAry of tae
Interior to Speaker Cannon OF the
House, on disburseme its of funds to
the several States and Territories for
the colleges Of agriculture and the ma

Mexico. All three of these Territories are
receiving $25, 900 each every year for the
support of an agricultural college. Jusc
the same as all the states. If Hawaii
has an institution that can be class4d
as an agricultural college there is an
opportunity for securing a Federal en-
dowment for it. Congress could hard
~ deny the recognition if the Territory

funds come from the sale or public
