ASSESSMENT OF
W|CBMAN CHANGED

H. F. Wichman & Co., Ltd, returned
its property for taxation at $50, $50. %
The assessor assessed it at s125, 5,000
which majority of the tax appeal
court confirmed. A minority thought
$97,297.45 right. The Supreme Court, on
the taxpayers appeal. takes the in
ventoried value of sl04 4,539.10 to be an
appropriate assessment and so orders.
1t was in evidence that the capital
stock of the company is $125,000, and
that its net profits in 1903 were s22,-
1927, a little over IS per cent. The
assets of the corporation were testified
to be worth ss2,552,22. In arriving at
its decision the court finds that the
case is within the provisions of section
$50, Civil Laws, since there are "sev-
eral classes or kinds of personal prop
erty" which 'are combined and made
the basis of an enterprise for profit,
requiring the property to "be assessed
as whole on its fair and reasonable
aggregate value" The statute requires
that ''in estimating the aggregate val
Tie there shall be taken into consider
alton the net profits made by the same
also the gross receipts and actual run
ming expenses"

ertson & Wilder for assessor.

A SILLY SAYING.

"It is a common but silly opin-
ion prevailing among GER
tain class of people that the
worse a remedy tastes, smells or
hurts, the more efiicacious it is"
So says a well-known English
physician. He further adds :
"For example, let us consider
cod liver oil. AS it is extracted
from the fish this oil is so offen-
sive to the taste and smell that
many cannot use it at all, no
matter how badly they need it.
Yet cod liver oil is one of the
most valuable drugs in the world
and it is the greatest pity that
we have not thus far been able
to free it from those peculiari-
ties which 30 seriously interfere
with it's usefulness" . This was
written years ago; the work OF
civilizing and redeeming it has
since been triumphantly accom-
plished; and as a leading in
gredient in the remedy called
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
the oil retains all its wonderful
curative properties with no bad
smell or taste whatever. 1t is
palatable as honey and contains
all the nutritive and curative
properties of Pure Cod Liver
Oil, extracted by us from fresh
cod livers, combined with the
Compound Syrup of Hypophos-
phites and Extracts of Malt and
Wild Cherry; creating a medi-
cine of unequaled power for the
diseases most prevalent and IA
tai among men, women and chill
dren. There is no other remedy
to compare with it. 1t increa-
ses the digestive power of the
stomach and in Blood Impuri,
ties, Throat and Lung Troubles
Nervous Dyspepsia and Scrofu
lous Affections, it gives quick
and certain relief and cure. DR.

WANTS PAY
FOR WATER

The Attorney General has givea an
opinion upon a case submitted to him
to Superintendent of Water Works
Howland, to the the effect that the
Oahu Railway & Land Co. is liable for
water rates. the same as any ether
corporation or citizen. The matter will
therefore go to the Supreme Court for
decision upon an agreed statement OF
facts, the attorneys for the railroad
company holding that 1t Is not liable.
The claim of the railway people to
exemption is based upon a law passed
in 1878, and now known as Section 531
Of the laws of 1897. Under the provi-
sions Of this act, the Minister of the
Interior, with the consent OF the Presi-
dent as the law was originally passed,
had power to grant rights of way and
land for stations to corporations or
ganized to construct railway lines, and
also the free use of water for the build
ing of their roads.
When the Oahu Railway & Land
Company was chartered, 1t claimed
that it had added rights under this old
law, and under section 531 proceeded
to use water freely for the building OF
the road. Superintendent Rowland dis
covered that the railway people had
been using water ever since without
paying for it, and made demand for
payment at the usual rate. The de-
mand was refused, the attorneys for
the railway company claiming exemp-
tion from payment under the law and
under it's charter. Howland then pass
ed the matter up to the Attorney Gen
eral for his opinion. which was ad-
verse to the railway company.
1t is upon this showing that the
agreed statement of facts has been
made out, and the case will be carried
at once to the Supreme Court for de-
cision. The case is regarded as very
important by the government people,
as the sum involved is considerable.

JUDGE L|TTL['S LAW
vO|DS A CONVICTION

While Judge Little is exploiting the
only genuine article of American patri-
otism at Panama, the odor of his judi
cial career at Hilo still abides in the
Territory of Hawaii-indeed is perpetu-
ated for all time in the declared law
of this country.
The Supreme Court has just granted
new trial to Wong Tim, on his ap-
peal from conviction for gross cheat,
because Judge Little, in charging the
jury, made a remark that was inap-
plicable to the case, improper, ungra-
cious and liable to mislead the jury
He said he would give particular in
struction asked for by the defendant
but not as the law of this country"
AS the Supreme Court holds, in an
opinion written by Justice Hartwell, II
might have been inferred by the jury
from the ''ungracious'' remark, that
the instruction in question was con-
trary to the law, therefore that ver-
dict of guilty would be the right one
to render

ritory, and Thayer & Hemenway for

LAW OF PROPERTY

Upon questions reserved by the Fifth
Circuit Court, Kauai, in the case of
William Iona ct al VS.. Uu ct al, the
Supreme Court by Chief Justice Frear
decides that none of the plaintiffs are
barred by the statute of limitations
and that the defendants cannot rely
upon adverse possession against the
heirs when their only claim is of
term of years under a lease made by
n tenant by curtesy. The case is re-
manded to the Circuit Court of the
Fifth Circuit for such further proceed
ings as may be proper" John ID. Will
lard for plaintiffs; NJ. f. Prosser for
defendants. Points of law decided are
the following:
Under the former statute, under
which the husband had an estate in
the wife's lands after her death until
the children attained majority, the
estate ceased as to each child's por-
tion upon that child's attaining major
ity.
such tenant by curtesy had no au-
thority to lease the land beyond the
age of majority of the children.
"A father as such or as natural
guardian has no authority to lease his
child's land.
"In order to sustain a defense OF ad-
verse possession, there must be shown
not only possession but a claim OF
ownership. A claim OF term of years
is not sufficient. Heirs may recover
from one who claims solely under {
lease made by tenant by curtesy t.
extend beyond the estate by curtesy
even though the period prescribed b,
the statute of limitations has elapsed
since the termination of the estate b!
curtesy. In such case the term o
years is in recognition OF and not con
Trajectory to the fee, and the lesse'
holds over permissively or by suffer
ance."

JUDGMENT IN KONA
CASE is REVERSED

Chief Justice Frear Is author of
decision of the Supreme Court revers-
ing the findings and judgment of Judge
De Bolt in the suit of w. w. Bierce.
Ltd, VS.. C. j. Hutchins, trustee. The
Judgment was in favor of plaintiff for
the return of property consisting of the
railway plant of the defunct Kona
Sugar Company and 5000 damages, or.
If the property could not be returned
the payment of it's declared value, $22,
600.
The ground of the decision is that the
plaintiff should have elected which of
its assumed rights 1t proceeded under,
as 1t at first claimed n materialman's
lien on the property as If the owner
ship was in the defendants, and next
brought a replevin suit as If the own
ership was in itself. There is no cleo
tion where the first remedy is adopt
| ed through ignorance. but the court
cannot say that such was the state of
affairs in this case. "A materialman's
lien cannot be enforced for lienab.e
items under an entire contract which
covers nonalienable items also. but in
this case the court holds that the prices
of at least some OF the lienable items
are severable."
The case is remanded to the court
below Cor such further proceedings as
may be proper. 1t is declared to be a
matter of law for the construction of
the contracts. Kinney, McClanahan &

ESTIMATED
BY THE YEAR

The clerical force in the Governors
Office is hammering into shape the
estimates OF appropriations for the
various departments. This will prob
ably go to the legislature with the
Governors financial message, although
that is by no means determined upon.
At all events, the tabulated statement
will be of immense value to both the
executive and legislative branches OF
the government, as 1t VIII show TO
dollar the amounts of the salaries OF
every man in government service, t/e
expenditures OF the various depart
ments on the various Islands during the
past year, and exactly what 1t has cost
to run the government of the Territory.
The estimates from the various de-
partments. as they have come to the
Governor, are for two years. AS they
are being tabulated, they Will be put
on a yearly basis. There will be state
ments of increases and decreases in
the departments, and in salaries, and
estimates of what it costs for every-
thing for which the government pays.
! All of the heads of departments, save
Superintendent of Public Works Hollo-
way. Surveyor Wall, Superintendent of
Schools Atkinson and Treasurer Camp
tell have submitted their estimates,
and it is expected that these will be
in hand in a few days. In fact, they
must be, as the time for preparation
grows shorter. The legislature Will
meet three weeks from next Wednes-
day, and no head of department
must fail to be ready with his facts and
figures before that date.

Mr.. HAYD[N'S VIEWS
GIVES HIS OPINION OF THE
BEST TREATMENT FOR
PARALYSIS.
Declares That DR.. Williams Pink
Pills Restored the Use of His
Limbs When All Other
Remedies Failed.

The premonitory symptoms of para
lysis are: trembling of the hands; sud-
den loss OF power in arms or legs,
frequently affecting one whole side Of
the body; staggering. partial or entire
inability to use the fingers; distortion
of the features, sometimes an uncon-
trollable quivering Of the chin; severe
pains; difficulty in speech. Frequently
the first warning is vague feeling or
headache, vertigo and muscular weak
ness.
In a recent interview Mr.. w. ]. L.
Hayden said: II truly think that DR..
Williams Pink Pills are great medi-
cine for they cured me when physicians
and other remedies had failed to give
me the slightest relief. Too close at
tention to business brought on an at
tack of nervousness which finally
developed into paralysis. There were
times when it was impossible for me
to move my hands or to get up from
a chair. At other times l had partial
control of my limbs, but I was afraid
control of my limbs. but L was
afraid to go far from the house
for fear I might suddenly become help
less and have to be carried home.
while 1 was in this miserable con-
dition, I was stricken with malarial
| fever and confined to bed for four
months. I had the best physicians, bur
while they relieved my fever their
treatment did not entirely drive the
malaria from my system, and they did
rot help my paralysis in the least.
1T was well nigh despairing when a
friend persuaded me to try DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills. When I had finish
ed one box could see results that en-
couraged me. My condition kept
steadily improving, and when I had
taken seven boxes was cured of para
lysis and the malaria was completely
driven out of my system. For two
years now I have enjoyed the best OF
health and have attended to business
without any interruption"
Mr.. Hayden's home Is at No. 252
West 39th street. New York. DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills have cured many
similar cases of paralysis. also loco
motor ataxia. They are sold by all
druggists. A treatment so simple, in
expensive and successful should be
tried by every sufferer from partial
paralysis in any of its stages.
