We repeat, we 6elae0e that the
use of intoxicants as beverage is
harmful. Now, Mr.. Clemens don't
quote us as saying it is so. We
simply express belief. Unfor-
tunate1y for Our belief. it does not
seem to accord with the prevailing
sentiment of the country as ex-
pressed in habit, Gu stom and legis-
lation.s We believe that our pres

We know by actual observation
that in this part of Gods creation
the temperance cause has made
gratifying progress in the last 90
years, and, if history in any fair de-
gree reflects the past, mankind has
wonderfullv advanced along all
lines of morality during the past
century. We feel more like con-
graduating men on the great num-

AMERICAN FALLS, ever heard
about it? Well the greatest water
power plant in the United States,
excepting only at Niagara, is just
about completed there. Already
electricity enough is being generat-
ed there to furnish light and power
to American Falls, Pocatello,
Blackfoot, Idaho Falls and other
places distant IS to $50 miles Be-
fore highwater season the capacity
of the plant will be more than
doubled, Across the river-west
side-a big irrigation system is ap-
preaching com oletion. More about
that in the future. We talk about
high prices of land and water in
this locality. Why, here they are,
by comparison, ridiculously cheap.
City lots, IS 12S, in American
Falls are being snapped up at SIS
to $3.50 each, ana the town now
has less than 400 population. Peo-
pie all over the east are ravenouslv
land hungry. The moment they
emerge from the desolate wind
swept deserts of Wyoming, and en-
ter the genial cline of Idaho they
begin buying land and city lots.
These land hungry people are COM
ing in great waves. Before the
middle of May they will have de-
voured every inch of productive
soil between Pocatello and Nampa,
and then they will food the Boise
valley. Our advice to people here
is, keep a tight grip on your real
estate. In the next four months it
will be very likely to quadruple in
value, especially near in farms and
city lots.

Andrews Was Fined
$50 For Contempt

Hilo, Feb. 7.-One OF the last Off
cial acts Of Sheriff L. A. Andrews be-
fore his retirement from Office was to
OF government, and as result he is
under the necessity of having to pay
n fine OF $50 for contempt of court.
which was imposed by Judge Parsons
on Wednesday last.
The contempt proceedings arose out
Of Sheriff Andrews failure to pay over
to the Clerk OF the Court, as directed,
the sum OF $160.54, being fines and costs
collected from Kuakoa, Kaiwi and Pc
ter Kanakaole, who were convicted aon
May 7th last in the District Court Of
Puma for assaulting a police officer at
Kalapana.
From the judgment Of the district
magistrate the three defendants ap-
pealed to the Circuit, sitting at cham.
bers. In the meantime the Grand Jury
returned three indictments against the
three men, which indictments were
nolle prosecuted by the Deputy Attor.
ney General. Judge Little dismissed
the appeal on the ground that there
could be no appeal to the Circuit Judge
at chambers. On appeal to the SUI
,preme Court the same view was held,
the appeal being dismissed and the
case remanded to the Circuit Court.
directing such further action as may
be necessary.
Thereupon Judge Parsons issued an
order remanding the three defendants
cute the judgment Of the district mag
istrate. Rather than go to Jail the
defendants paid fine Of $50 each,
together with costs, which altogether
amounted to $l60.54. This sum was
turned over to the Sheriff's department
and was about to be forwarded to the
Territorial Treasurer, when Attorney
c. s. Smith, representing the three de-
| PENDANTS, moved that the order of the
court remanding the three defendants
into the custody of the Sheriff be set
aside on the ground that the proceed
ings were ex parte, that the order was
improperly made and without jurisdic-
ton, and a denial of the right of trial
by jury.
At the same time Attorney Smith
asked that the money in the hands OF
Sheriff Andrews be paid over to the
clerk of the court pending decision
OF the court on the motion to set aside.
Judge Parsons issued such an order,
directing the Sheriff to pay over to the
clerk the money in his hands by 8
o'clock Wednesday.
When the appointed hour arrived
instead of turning the sl6O,5i over to
Clerk Quincy, Sheriff Andrews pro-
ceeded to make an extended argument
in his own behalf, and questioned the
courts authority to order over the
cash without having received instruc-
tons from the Attorney General at
Honolulu. Judge Parsons promptly
found Andrews guilty OF contempt and
imposed a fine of $50, Andrews has
