LlunlNING CAUSES EXCITEMENT.
Struck a Tree and Broke Window Gli ss
 at Cottage Home.

Boarders at the Cottage Home report quite au unusual and excit idg scene which took place at that popular private boarding house Saturday afternoon during the electric storm, caused by the liz htning striking a tree in the yard and doing other freakish things. Fortunately no one was injured and the entire household, especially Mrs. Stuckey, who owns the property, are finding comfort in the theory that light ming does not strike twice in the same place.
 When the lightning came with terrific crash a large red oak tree standing in the yard back of the house was struck and the top torn out and bark and limts scattered for many feet around. On this tree and running across the yard to another smaller tree was wire clothes line over fifty feet long. All that has been found of this wire is piece bout inches in length fastened to one of the trees, the end show ing the result of the intense heat which doubtless destroyed the rest of the wire.
 The most exciting spectacle was when a ball of fire, which different witnesses describe as varying in size from that of water bucket to as large as wash tub, came flying by the side of the house and exploded just out side one of the second story windows to a room occupied by Mrs. Thompson and her mother of Memphis, Tenn, who are spending the summer in Mena.
 The explosion was followed by a deafning report and the glass in the window was shattered into million pieces. After the blind- ing flash, MT. Sheridan, who oc- cupies a room on the other side of the house, saw heavy cloud of smoke float around the corner aud thought the house to be on fire, but this proved to be mis take, the smoke evidently coming from the ball of fire.
 A peculiar feature of the break ing of the window glass was that all the glass was thrown on the out side yet light ashes evidently thrown out from the ball of fire which burst outside the window were found scattered over the linen on the bed in Mrs. ThomI sons room.
 With all this electric display none of the inmates of the house came in contact with the current but feel that they had close call.

question is. How can il be done? In
answer to this Mr.. Cohen offers to take

for a profit commensurate with the risk
OF loss he assumes and the large eX-

Board Of supervisors agrees to this
1t seems to me every member of the
band ought to feel IT his duty, to res
pond to the wishes of the community;
to consider himself a soldier ready to
do his duty for the community; to feel
that he is benehtting the community,
even if there is some Inconvenience i'm
1t. Mr. Cohen has agreed to pay the
members of the band more than they
would get if the band remained here.
No member of the band ought to say,
No I won't go unless l get everything I
would like to have; l don't care that we
are going for the benefit of the com

There is duty to the community in
this matter We are in the service of

TAX LAW
DISCOVERED
CONTINUED from page one.)

original packages. IT was claimed
that the property was not assessable
while in original packages. The COM
pany filed its appeal, r. w. Breckons
appearing as attorney, and after con-
sultation with Attorney General Peters
Treasurer Campbell and Tax Assessor
Holt decided to allow the appeal. The
legal point was conceded to be good
one, and the appellant saved $1,000 in
taxes
The proposition is of sweeping i'm
pOrtance as affecting many property
assessments. All the big firms here,
with the exception of the Fertilizer
Company. paid taxes upon thousands Of
dollars worth of imported goods which
is still in original packages and was
apparently technically exempt from
taxation here. OF course they are ex-
pected to appeal before doing so again,
wherefore there will be a big slump in
the next tax payments and the next
Legislature will have to provide some
new tax laws. 1t is held that the le-
gislature has not power to make any
law tht will tax impOrtations in original
packages hence new source of re-
venue will have to be- developed, to
take the place of that derived from
big stocks of imported property now
believed to be not taxable.

SUGAR WAR
HAS BEGUN

ence of from 20 to so cents a hundred.
There has always been this large diff
ference, showing the large profit there
was i'm refined on the Pacific coast.
1'his market, however, was not large
enough to absorb all of the Hawaiian
raw product, and since the Crockett
refinery has opened up, the Western
Refinery has imported Cuban sugars
by way of New orleans This increas-
ed the difference between the available
supply of raw sugar for this market
and the ability of the market to absorb
refined sugars. ..a
Under the old contracts with the
Western Refinery, the Hawaiian plant
ers received the New York price less
three eighths of cent a pound for
their raw sugar shipped to San Fran
cisco The New York price was. based
on a price for refined that was on an
average of perhaps seventy cents a
hundred lower than the price of REIN
ed on the coast. SO it will be seen that
the Crockett Refinery can stand a very
considerable cut in the price of refined
before the planters will begin to get a
less price for their Pacific coast sugar
than they would have got under the
| old contract
The fight was not unexpected. Those
Interested were only wondering wher
it would begin and how.
| 1t has begun.

CEMENT Is HERE

The local cement shortage has been
partially broken. The S. S. Hong
Kong Maru arrived last evening from
the Orient with a special shipment of
5000 barrels of cement for H. Hack

a special one from Hong Kong. The
local firm cabled to Hong Kong for
the shipment of cement as that is "A
free port and there was no export duty
to pay over half of the present con-
signment has already been sold and it
is expected that the remaining portion
will be taken by local contractors and
builders or various interests in need of
cement
There is a second shipment of 5000
barrels of cement on the German train
ing ship HerZogin Sophie Charlotte
which is now out SO days from Monte

A ROYAL TITLE

GAMES TOMORROW PROMISE
SURE TO BE CLOSE.

Some Of the SPORTS that are wont to
gather about the different corners in

and tell how the game is to be won
say that they can pick the winners.
! Ifut then some of these self same sports
were heard to say that last Saturday
the Pans would be on top of the pile.

jumped all over them The sad tale
has been toid and it is not to be re-
peated.
| One Of the managers--it would be
a shame to tell his name-is sure that
/ Punahou will win from II. A. C.'s and
thus make good the tumble they took
/ last Saturday. Well mayhtp they
Wilt is all i'm "A lifetime.
/ 1t is generally thought that the Oahus
will score about 20 runs against the
Males. They may, but anyone who
could have seen the practice that the
Male boys were going through the
other evening they would not be so
sanguine of high score. Coach Ben
son was holding them right down to
work and it will not be the fault of the
coach if the team doesn't win. The
boys seem to have a deal of hard luck
TO contend with. Perhaps if they shook
up their batting order things would
/ improve slightly. The boys deserve to
win.
And so the wise ones may get left
after all, 1t is an impossibllity to get
any of the aforesaid wise ones to put
their forecasts down in black and
white so perhaps they are only put
ting up the bluff that they know who
viii win. Well here are the teams
now choose for yourselves.
