WHEAT HAULING NEARLY OVER.
Not So Much Trouble From Car Short
age as Last Year.

Wheat hauling, which has furnish
ed the principal employment over the
county since harvest became under
way, is now rapidly drawing to a
close, and will be entirely completed
within a few weeks, according to
farmers and grain buyers. Already
the wheat of the reservation and the
country northeast of here Is In the
warehouses, and is rapidly shipped
away. According to A. l.. Knight, all
of the warehouses In that portion of
the county are now closed as far as
the receipt of wheat is concerned.
However the warehouses along the
w. & C. r. and in the country west
of here will be kept busy for at least
a couple of weeks yet, and 1t will be a
month before the grain is all housed.
In fact, some will not be hauled until
next spring.
Just at present complaint is made
by the shippers that they are unable
to secure cars from the railroad, and
as a result considerable Inconvenience
is being caused. However, the situa-
tion in this regard is said to be much
better than It was last year, when at
times It was simply impossible to get
any cars. During this year there has
apparently been no great shortage
until within the past few days.

Ink Problem In Idaho.

The county commissioners have
fixed the tax levy for state and county
purposes at 32 mills. In addition to
this there is a special tax levy of
mills, and In 80 out of 9S school dis
tricts there is special school tax
voted averaging about mills.
Outside OF incorporated towns and
villages, which have additional levies.
the total levy is AZ mills, which is a
reduction OF mills from last year.
The special property road tax is
reduced from mills last year to o..
The unusually heavy tax, amounting
to over $4,000, as against $4,000 for
last year, brings the levy for state
purposes almost to mills. Article 8,
section o. of the state constitution,
provides that the levy for the state
shall not exceed mills when the
valuation of the property in the state
does not exceed 100000, which
would seem to apply in this case. An

Hamilton's balance in the bank was
only $176, although the real estate

he did not know what Hamilton did
with the money. Mccall admitted
making other advances. He then got
excited and said the money was safe.
He confided in Hamilton even when
the latter could not refund.
Mccall said he thanked God the

free silver.
Mccall said Hamilton's accounts
were never audited, at least since the

company. He said Hamilton attended
to the legislation in various states and
the company had no vouchers to show
what he did with the money.
Hughes asked II any money given
to Hamilton had gone to influence

emnity of an oath. He declared Ham
ilton had never spoken with him
about payments to Legislators in his

estate department in various parts

chance to get hold of corporation
money. The witness said during the

tuned by Parker managers for con-
tributions and II became an annoy

Another interesting thing that we
came across on the road was a bed of
black volcanic sand. This had in it
what the people here commonly call

attention to this. But as a matter of
fact it is not petrified wood at ALL
What seems to be wood turned to stone
is simply pipes of the sand that have

We remained at the sheep station
for three days. Although it had not
rained there for nine months, it be-
gan raining on the day we arrived and
the precipitation continued for three
days. From Humuula We had intend
ed to ascend Mauna Loa but the rain
prevented. But We saw, far up the
side of the mountain, and between the
sheep station and the Dewey crater,
three places where what seemed to be
steam was coming from the mountain
The men at the station said that this
was much more noticeable after the
rain, but that they had observed it be-
fore and that it was smoke instead
of steam. 1 should not say, however,
that this necessarily indicates activity
in the crater of Mauna Loa.
From the sheep station we rode
right away across the mountain side

that side OF the mountain. 1t was a

WILL HOLD CONFERENCE
ON THE JURY LAW

A conference will be held this morn
ing between Circuit Judges Robinson
and De Bolt and Attorney General An
drews relative to the muddle that has
arisen concerning the new jury law.
There is not much doubt that we
can proceed with the drawing of trial
juries,' said Judge De Bolt yesterday.
''The question is as to whether grand
jories can be drawn under the law"
The new law provides that the Jury
commissioners shall, before the fif-
teenth of December of each year. or
at any subsequent time if omitted or
neglected before such dav. make
lists OF persons to serve respectively
as grand and trial jurors too in the
Circuit Court for the ensuing year"
The law further provides that in the
Oahu Circuit there shall be $50 persons
on the list of trial jurors and Is on the
list as grand jurors. This law went
into effect on April 26. Under the old
law, only one list of $50 persons was
made out from which both grand and
trial jurors We're chosen. The question
has now arisen as to whether the
present jury list, which was drawn last
year, can be used for the remainder
of this year.
In order to test the matter, it is pro-
posed to have one of the judges in the
outer Islands asked to draw a. grand
jury If he refuses to do so, he will
then be mandamused. This plan, how
ever has the drawback that two of
the Supreme Court Justices are absent
from the Territory. Ali this, however,

NOTHING IN TIE
LATEST PARKER STORY

One of the evening papers printed a
story yesterday to the effect that Sen
ior Captain Parker of the police force
got wind of a trial riot call that was
to be turned in last Wednesday night
for the benefit of the supervisors and
notified the Henry men on the police
force to be on the look out. while he
failed to tell the Brown men any
| thing about it. The paper goes on to
+, state that this was done in order that
the Henry" men might make a good
showing, to the detriment of the
Brown men. 1t was claimed that this
was meat attempt to do politics.
This opinion does not seem to be
shared by those who are most con-
cerned. When asked about the matter
ed that he had heard the story but did
not put much stock in it and had done
nothing about the matter. Senior Cap
tain Parker gave this version of the
story: Last Wednesday evening, Ke-
kipi, one of the men under Henry Vida,
came down and told Lieutenant Lue-
hiwa something to the effect that the
specials We're to be at the station at
1870 p. m. Later Mounted Patrolman
said that Vida had told him, he under
stood, to be at the station at 7:30, but
that he guessed he had made a mistake
and it was 1870 when he was due We,
in the receiving office, thought that
perhaps a general alarm was to be
turned in.
Il knew that some of the men who
were off duty that night were at a
luau some distance away from the sta
ton and I thought that perhaps they
would not be able to hear the whistles,
so 1 sent word for them to watch out
in case anything happened. did not
pick out Henry men, There were men
who voted for Brown and men who
voted for Henry at the luau. L just
sent word to the luau SO that the men
might not miss the call if one came in.
Il cannot turn in a riot-can for drill
purposes. Only the sheriff can do that
He did not tell me there was to be a
call. If he had I would not have told
anyone, for what good would it have
been for US to have drill if the man
that gave the call should give it out to
a man who would tell all the men?
Whenever the sheriff has informed me
that there was to be riot-drill 1 have
kept it to myself
There are riot-drills every once in a
While and any of the officers hearing
these rumors. generally gives the tip to
others. 1t would seem that it was in
this way that Parker gave the tip last
Wednesday. Naturally he wished to
have all the men on hand and it was
more to his advantage that all his men
be there than a few, as would have
been the case if only Henry man
We're warned. Anyway. as the warning
was given to a luau party, irrespective
of political faith. and as the election is
now long past, it would seem hard to
see just where the meat political
trick comes in
