OUT FIRE
No More Danger From
Forest Blaze at
WahiaWa.

The following letter from Mr.. David
Haughs, received yesterday afternoon
by Mr.. Hosmer. the Superintendent of
Forestry probably marks the end of
the Wahiawa forest fire
Wahiawa March %, 1905.
r. s Hosmer, Esq, Superintendent of
Forestry
Dear Sir: Since you heard f. ON ne
we have been patrolling the trails and
also putting out fires along the fire
line. Today Thursday we went along
the ffre-line from the ditch on the Wal
alua side to the extreme end of the
burned part above Waipahu. There is
little fear of fires crossing the trails.
but by putting out the fires inside the
trails we shall be able to save some of
the corners of forest that were not
burned.
We had a small fire this afternoon
which burned about two acres along
the side of the Waialua ditch, but as
the trail is alongside of the ditch it
got no farther.
We start again tomorrow (Friday)
with about twenty men over the same
ground that we went over today, to
make sure that the fires are entirely
out With perhaps the exception of the
small fire that started this afternoon,
all the other fires will be out by. to-
morrow night.
Mr.. Goodale has been very liberal
with help and assistance. He is send
ing up his head overseer, Mr.. Watt,
tomorrow to look over the trails.
I think we have seen the last of the
Wahiawa forest fire and by Saturday
we may be able to leave, feeling sure
that all fires are entirely out.
Yours very truly,
DAVID laughs.

AFTERNOON SESSION.

At the afternoon session Mr.. judo
asked more questions about the Ak
contract. He asked whether the
change from S120 to $500 was made be-
fore or after work was commenced
Miss Dawson said before commencing
AS to differences of opinion with the
auditor she said she had been called
over to explain more fully.
why was it you had the 5000 put in
one bill, instead of making out a bill
for 500 for Aki and another for $10C
for the menu"
She said Aki was responsible for the
whole amount, not she. AS to her ex-
preston my men, that was used gen
orally. When Al1i employed them they
were his men, not hers. By my men,
she meant the governments men.
How do you know except for the
statements of the men themselves that
they worked not during government
hours?''
Il was not with them every hour
of the day, but when I did see them
they We're doing government work. 1
put them on their honor to do this. l
was there once, sometimes twice, a
day.
She was familiar with Kalimahana's
signature Whenever vouchers We're
made out their names were signed be-
fore her. She recognized the signature
on bill No 1874 as his. He must have
signed that" she said.
Are they both his signatures ?"
Yes. Mr.. Judd. I am sure. I would
not have receipted for it unless it was.
I will tell you Mr.. Judd, he was man
who sometimes took liquor and he may
have been a little shaky. He was
working for me at K9ahapua school.
Mr.. Judd called his attention to the
fact that David Kalimahna" was
written once. and I'D. Kalimahana" in
another. and that the "D's'' differed
somewhat.
Concerning your final verbal agree
ment for 5000 with Aki might not he
have employed other men had he de-
sired?"
Why certainly"
At this juncture Mr.. Judd indicated
that the taking of testimony was about
to close and inquired whether any more
questions were wanted to be PROFOUND
ed by the attorneys. Mr.. Dunno then
made his statement which appears al
the end of this article and Mr.. Judd 8
answer followed.
Mr. Dunno asked that he be allowed
to think the matter over for the night
to announce his decision this morning
as to whether he would have any more
questions to put to bring out explana-
tons which might be clearer.
Mr. Judd said that was agreeable &c
him. as he did not have the entire

FIFTY ACRES IN STRAWBERRIES.

Sheriff Henry A. Watts closed deal

tensive scale. He will plant an early
variety berry, and will ship. On fifty
acres he should ship, in the season, an
average of two cars day. In addi-

Understanding Poker.

The women believe that every man
knows all about poker, but only few
men do It is true, however, that near
~ every man pretends to understand
the game thoroughly. When there is
poker joke at theater all the men
smile and look at their women folks
with a sort of pity, but the fellows who
smile know very little about the game
and are afraid to play it, for in almost
every little social affair connected with
chips and pairs there is tin horn
gambler industriously engaged in work
ing chumps. The few men who really
understand poker have habit of win
ming the money Of the men who pre-
tend to understand it, so the large ma
jority Of men know nothing about the
game further than that good hand is
hard to get.-Atchison Globe.

may combine in their proper proper

heat. Again, the inhabitant of cold
climate usually has to work harder
than the more fortunate southerner,
whose wants decrease as nature be-
comes more generous. The harder the
daily labor the greater the amount of
food required.
Climate not only affects the quaint

A KIND HUSBAND.
Should He Never, Ladies, Oppose the
Wishes of His Wife:

Is the kind husband a failure?
That depends. A husband can scarce
" show his wife too much kindness.
But sometimes real kindness may be
shown In opposing her wishes. II the
husband has any mind Of his own he
must use it. He need not be mean i'll
his opposition nor arrogant nor tyran-
meal He should be reasonable at all
times and disposed to highly regard
the expressed wishes of his wife even
though these wishes may seem to him
to be whimsical or capricious. But
Kindness does not require subservi'
ency or entire and instant surrender
of opinion. Indeed, it is easy to see
how such surrender might lead q wife
to despise her husband. He who fetches
and carries like poodle is likely to be
considered a poodle.
Women admire strength in a man.
This strength need not necessarily
be physical, though that is desirable.
Women love strength of character in 81
man. And
Is it not So ladies? When a woman
coaxes a strong man to her point of
view by strenuous endeavor, does she
not regard it as merit to have inf1u-
enced this big, strong being? If she
gains her own way at once and at all
times she has achieved nothing, and
there is no rejoicing in her heart.
Certainly a man should be kind to
his wife-always kind. But he need

piaything.
Is it not so, ladies ?-Albany Times

FOOD AND WEATHER.
why People Eat More In Winter
Than They Do I'm Summer.

1t has been shown that the consump-
ton of food increases In direct proper
ton to the decrease in temperature.
We eat more in winter than in summer,
and the inhabitants of the temperate
regions require more food than those
of the tropic zone.
This is due to several causes. In the
first place air is denser in colder eli
mates and more oxygen is taken in
with each breath, SO that a greater sup
