NEW THING IN GOLF BALLS.
Remade by Catfish with q Jonah Fin
ish They Are Vastly In
proved.

Fishermen In the lower waters Of the
Blue and along the Missouri in the vi
clnity Of the Blues mouth, complain
Of an ailment Of the catfish which
seems to be general It was first sus-
pected, says the Kansas City Journal.
that yellow fever Is mixing things
with the cat water tribe. but on inves-
tigation It Is found that the trouble is
all due to overdoses Of golf balls. On
tracing the matter up the supply Of
halls IL found to come from the Elm
Ridge links, where the players have
phenomenal luck In losing balls In the
creek.
At first the fishermen were indignant
and their wrath was developed by an
enterprising snitch, who urged an In
junction against the Elm Ridge club
in general and the bum players In par
tIcular. This promised q good lawsuit.
when, unfortunately, q fisherman dis
covered that q catfish full Of golf balls
Is worth more than q straight cat
This changed materially the financial
flavor Of the case. Then II was dis
covered that q golf ball remade By Q
catfish, thus imparting q Jonah finish.
Is well As favor, adds to the value OF
the bah by improving its going quail
ties. This starts new ball on the
market and upsets the sniteh IN nis
calculations

SHEEP BRING GOOD PROFIT
Farmers Of the United States Have
Lucrative Field Opened
to Them.

An oficial report Of the department Of
commerce and labor declares that for
years to come there will be more money
in sheep than in any other agricultural
product and that the American farmer,
above all others, is In a position to
profit by this condition.
The reason why sheep raising Is to be
90 profitable is to be found In the fact
that the locks Of the world are declining
at an alarming rate. In little more
than 30 years, or since 1873. this decline
shows a loss Of no fewer than 93,000.O 900
head, an average Of more than 100000
a year. At the present time the Ameri-
can farmer has the bulk Of the sheep
trade with Great Britain, but he Is not a
factor in the mutton market and last
year he furnished only three-tenths OF
one per cent. of the wool imports Of
Great Britain.
The British trade in sheep imports last
year was 3S224O. and Of thesethe United
States supplied 294.S04. But while the
British imported 3530.659 hundred
weights of mutton in 1904. the American
farmer supplied only 1920 hundred
weights Of this vast amount. Great
Britain imported S14 46s 016 pounds of
wool last year. but bought only 1887
$50 pounds from the American farmer.
1t may thus be seen what an immense
Geld Of trade, even with one nation
alone. is open to American enterprise
in a single agricultural product. Argen-
tina. Australia and New Zealand largely
supplied the British trade In mutton and
wool last year.

FOR THE PUMA SALE

B. F. Dillingham; by his attorneys,
Ballou & Marx, has given notice to all
parties concerned of motion to be
heard this morning for an order post
poning the sale of the Puma Sugar Co.'S
property for ninety days from March
II. The mover represents Puma bonds
to the amount of $4,000 out of to-
tai issue of 100000.
upon the refusal of the First Ma
tional Bank of Hawaii to advance funds
upon receivers certificates after March
?, 1905" Mr.. Dillingham; says in his
affidavit, "the said San Francisco bond
holders took up all outstanding re-
ceiver's certificates and granted furth-
err advance, and then authorized the
payment of further certificates to main
tain. the plantation as going concern,
all in pursuance of their plan to get a
sufficient extension of time for the sale
+, to protect their interests"
The bondholders had learned of the
true value of the property only just
before the day first set for the sale
They had authorized the expenditure Of
the proceeds of the sale of the 1905 cant
for the further maintenance of the plan
tation as a going concern. This was ;

The RIGHT REMEDY
WAS NOT SOUGHT

In the Territory's injunction suit
against Pacific Hardware and Steel Co.,
foreign corporation, the Supreme
Court cut short the hearing of the
plaintiffs appeal from Judge Gear 5
decree in favor of defendant. E. G..
Peters, Deputy Attorney General, ap-
peared for the Territory, and Holmes
& Stanley and Castle & Wilmington for
the defendant.
Although the Court affirmed the de-
cree. 1t did so on different ground
from that on which the decree was
based. The defendant had refused to
pay the license fee of foreign cor
poration doing business in this Ter
ritory, and the Treasurer brought an
injunction suit to restrain it from car
rying on business in this Territory.
Judge Gear dismissed the bill, holding
in a lengthy decree that to prohibit
the defendant from doing business here
foreign or interstate commerce.
The Supreme Court, in the midst of
the appointed hearing, put its three
heads Together and affirmed the de-
cree on the ground that "injunction
was not the proper remedy" This
would indicate to the Government and
the equally interested business COM
munity that there Is an available rem
edy against the free competition of
foreign corporations with local con-
Germs that pay heavy taxes of various
kinds.

BRITAIN FEARS WATER FAMINE.
Past Year Has Been Exceptionally Dry
Towns to Restrict Supply.

, LONDON, Mar. S.-The United King
dom seems to be threatened with a
water famine in the year 1906. Last
year was exceptionally dry and the
deficiency since Jan. has been con-
siderable, except in the northern por-
ton of Scotland.
Many large towns in all parts OF the
country, but especially in the mid
lands are beginning to be alarmed over
the situation. 1t is estimated that Lei
cester has 70o,OO0,0O0 gallons less stor-
ed than in February last year. Some
towns are actually contemplating the
restriction OF the supply, which is q
very unusual step to take except in tbs
dryest of summers.
Mr.. Latham, an expert in the matter
OF rainfall, points out that the record
show that during the last century al
years ending with the numerals or
except 1894 and 1895 were periods o
lower water than usual. He admit
that possibly this Is a mere coinci
dence. but II is a remarkable fact tina
wells from which the records are takel
in different parts of the country ten,

the end Of every decade, while they ar
lowest I'M the middle OF each period o

PAYMENT OF RENT
WRONGLY INCLUDED

"The Court holds that the Circuit
Judge erred in decreeing a cancellation
of lease and the payment of rent and
interest thereon, and sets aside the de-
cree appealed from and remands the
case to the Circuit Judge for the pur-
pose of entering new decree in con-
formity to these views and for such
further proceedings as may be neces-
sary."
With the foregoing memorandum en-
tered by the clerk, the Supreme Court,
at the hearing of the defendants APP
peal, decided the case of j. A. Ma
COON VS.. Chin Kee Grau ct al. 1t was
a bill to reform lease, the plaintiff
claiming that the $100 rent mentioned
was monthly and the defendants that
it was yearly7a question on which the
instrument was silent. Judge Robinson
granted decree to reform the lease
as prayed; also ordering the defend
ants to pay the deficient rent amount
ing to SCI and interest.
Magoon and Lightfoot appeared fol
plaintiff and Z. M. Watson for defend
, ants.

FIRENEA'S EXHIBITION
Continued from page l.,

about five feet from the ground. As
each man alight4d from the exercises
already described, he gracefully swung
himself to the ground from the netting
in back handspring.
Leaving the rope fastened to the top
of the tower, the next performance
was that of hose-laying. The fire lad
dies TO man the hose wagon and also
to rally to a steam fire engine retired
to their hunks upstairs. When all was
ready, Senator Isenberg and Commits
sioner Hustace standing by with stop
watches, the gong sounded and quick
er than 1t takes to tell a hose wagon
was out of the Beretania street front
and speeding around the corner to a
hydrant up Fort street. At the same
time team had been harnessed to an
engine, but did not leave the build
ing. Soon the hose wagon came clat-
tering into the yard at the rear, the
boys pulled at the slack end of the
needed length, the scaling ladders were
manned, the pendant rope was put in
service and. like flash, the nozzle
OF the hose poked itself into the grip
of fireman at the summit of the
tower.
From the sounding of the gong to
the placing of the nozzle, with $50 feet
of hose connecting 1t to the hydrant,
in position of service at the top of the
tower just three minutes and twenty
one seconds (3:2D had elapsed. This
was second slower than the firemen
had done in former practice.
Exercises with the Hayes truck
ground extension ladder were next
given, the firemen getting to the top of
the tower of the main building in 2S
seconds from the order to raise the
ladder. This implement is in two sec
tions of equal length, one telescoping
into the other. Four men were upon
it at once on this occasion, but it will
bear six or seven men at time.
Last of all there was leaping into
from the lowest window of the prac-
tice tower, height of about 10 feet.
Another took the leap from the Sec
ond window. thirty feet high. Each
landed in the circular sheet of rubber,
which comrades held up by its iron rim,
coming down in sitting posture with a
resounding swat and then, with an
agile vault over the ring, came to "at-
tention" with feet upon the ground.
Many expressions of admiration for
the performances of the fire-fighters
were heard. "The boys earn their
money, you bet" legislator was heard
to say.

FARMERS AND LAND.

1t is plain from the demand which
follows the opening. or projected open
ing Of any OF the public lands of Ha-
wal, that the Government could settle
I'D the country II it would Despite
what the large landholders say and
what their satellites affirm. the people
have a distinct faith In their capacity
to make a living from the soil. They
want land to build homes upon and to
till. Since the Advertiser began its
opening-up agitation, the volume OF
small products has vastly increased in
Hawaii So many people have gone into
poultry that eggs are cheaper now than
ever before, interest has become acute
not only i'm farms, but in cultivable
villa sites, rubber plantation has
been started, the pineapple and sisal
area increased good tobacco has been
cultivated, the vanilla experiment has
attracted notice from practical farmers
and large banana industry has been
created where before were jungles OF
lantana or indigenous growths. All that
this spirit needs to make itself the
means of redeeming Hawaii from prim-
Hive disuse is the marketing in small
tracts of the public lands not needed
for sugar or forestry, as fast as they
become available. The curse of any
country are large. uncultivated estates;
and if those we have in Hawaii could
be broken up by the adoption of the
New Zealand law, which put the heav-
lest taxes on unused land held for
speculation, the result would be seen
in all enormous accretion of taxes and
in the Americanization of the Terri
tory. 1t Is almost criminal to leave
that principality of loan which one
occupancy of lantana and guava, but
only the New Zealand law can force its
owners and lessees to let go In this
generation.
Despite all opposition and drawbacks,
however, things are slowly moving to-
ward diversified farming, and public
sentiment is steadily rolling up against
the old feudal system. We shall have
an Americanized Territory yet. For
tunately, the Government, through Mr.
Pratt, is giving some help and in time
we shall expect to see It's energies d.
rected toward the great colonization
enterprises for which the country waits.

WE|SBARTH'S OFFER Of
AID TURNED DOWN

Still no word from Max Schlemmer
and the schooner c. Kennedy. Still no
relief expedition sent out to rescue
Schlemmer, Green, Schutze and, the
Japs from a watery grave. And there
won't be any going out as far as Cap
tain Weisbarth, "The Viking of the Pa
cifc" is concerned. That doughty mar
liner is rather Disguised at the way his
offers of help were treated by the wife
of the missing Captain Schlemmer.
Yesterday the gallant commander of
the Lavinia called at the Schlemmer
house and informed Mrs. Schlemmer
that her husband was now over thirty
days overdue at Midway and suggested
that it was very probable that the c.
Kennedy was piled up on some barren
isle with Schlemmer. Green, Schutze
and the Japs banqueting on Douglas
So bouillon and getting astigmatism of
the optic nerve in trying to sight the
sail that never comes.
After painting this woeful picture
Captain Weisbarth asked Mrs. Sehlem-
mer whether she wished him to 60 on
a relief expedition or not. As he is
perfectly familiar with the waters west
OF this group he felt sure that he could
find the missing schooner If anyone
could. In response to his story and re-
quest he says that Mrs. Schlenmers
sole reply was Captain, / think you
must have been drinking too much. u
Surely a dash of cold water on the ar
dor of would-be rescuer.
Captain Weisbarth is sure that some
thing has befallen the missing craft
Going at the slowest rate she has beer
gone long enouoh to make two round
trips to Midway she has not mad,
the voyage one wav yet. The captain
thinks the c. Kennedy may be pileC
up somewhere but says that, as nom
of the men aboard her are expert navi
gators it is more likely that they ar
drifting around not knowing where the,
are At any rate, after the treatment h
says he has received, Captain Weis
barth says, Let 'em drift"
