this isolated young missionary to
whom nature had given a genial
and lovable soul.
The story Of the young missionary
is not fictitious tale, so the reader
must not expect to see the announce
mept that Sister Barr had found an
other lover lii the Sar OF German
village. Unlike the heroine in
novels. she had kept but one image
in her heart through these weary
years.
As the period of Brother Hilbigs
probation drew TO . c;ose the young
girl began making preparations to
go to Labrador. The brother of the
young girl assisted her, and just be-
fore she sailed he sent a letter to
Brother Hilbig advising him of the
fact that his bride-to-be would sail
in few weeks. The letter reached
its destination in due course of time
and, unlike Virginia in the sweet
romance of Paul and Virginia, so did
Sister Barr. But what a reception.
The brave young Moravian who had
withstood the thousand hardships of
Arctic winters. the loneliness of the
region, the cheerless work, was un-
able to bear the great joy of learn
ing that the woman for whom he
had labored ceaselessiy and dreamed
of always was on her way to join
him. His mind gave way from

move the young missionary to a
larger station, where he could re-

lorn young girl followed him TO the
asylum at St Johns. For days and
weeks she waited. hoping against
hope that Brother Hnbig's reason
would return, out the solitude of
three years had done its work.
1t was finally decided to take the
missionary back to Germany, where
he could be given the benefit of all
that modern science and skill could
do for him.

THE PAELE REPORT.

Lucas moved that the boards action
in the matter be indefinitely post

Cox demurred at this proposed ac-

The chair reminded the board that
some very serious charges were made

GERE OBSERVATIONS.


County Engineer Gere made verbal
report on the state of the roads on
windward Oahu. He recommended that
Road Overseer Peck look up a quarry
site. The Pail road on the Koolau side
of the ridge should be macadamized
before others were touched.
Gere had notified all county road
supervisors that they must hereafter
submit detailed monthly reports of all
work accomplished. He was of the
opinion that much confusion was occa-
stoned in the country districts through
one man having charge of the purchase
of material and another the direction
of the work. All road overseers should
be required to keep separate monthly
time books for submission to the board,
to be fled for reference.
The chair said that Ceres recon-
mendations came peculiarly in line
with the policy of the committee OH
Public Expenditures. He referred the
matter to that committee for elabora-
ton and report.
A LIBRARY PROPOSAL.

Gentlemen: The Honolulu Library

century ago for the purposes indicated
in it's corporate name. Since 1879 it has
gradually gathered its present building
and maintenance equipment and col
lection of books numbering over
eighteen thousand 1S,00O) volumes, of
which no less than seventeen thousand

bers last year. That the institution
has been able to give satisfaction in a
marked way to those who contribute
to its support is, I believe, generally
granted. 1t is also generally known
that there are a good many readers
in this community who cannot afford
to pay even the comparatively small
annual membership fee C$5.00 the Ii
brarys maintenance requires, and yet
who feel the want of good books in
sufficient numbers most keenly. For
this considerable company free public
libraries are maintained elsewhere

Some of the work that has been car
ried on in the state the past year or
so, is now being perfected in the fol-
lowing; In the Julesburg Irrigation
district, twenty-five miles from the
town of that name, dam was built in
the Platte river at Il cost of $S. 900. 90.
the inlet ditch is nineteen miles long,

The greatest advancement made in
Sedgwick county during the year of
1903 was in the Improvement of the
irrigation system in the county. In
the construction of the Julesburg res
crvoir and in building new bitches
more than $500, 600. 90 has been spent,
with the result that the county now has
one OF the best reservoir and irrigat-
ing systems in the state.
The Improvement in irrigation fa-
cilities has caused Il big advance in
the values of farm lands, these values
having more than doubled within the
last twelve months. Lands that sold
ten months ago for 5000 and $50. 90
per acre now find ready sale at $40. 90
to $500 per acre.
Six hundred acres of sugar beets
were grown in the county during the
year. These beets averaged ten tons
to the acre, the cash value to the
growers being $2S, 10000 Between
1000 and 5000 acres will be planted to
this crop next year, and assurances
have been received from the Western
Sugar company that factory will be
built in the county during the follow
