great southwest the Mohave with his

all day while the Original farmers of

their gOurd seeds. In Canada, but for

DAN CASE IS HERE.
On way From Washington Where He
Pressed Hawaiian Reforms.

Mr.. Dan H. Case arrived in Topeka
yesterday on his way from Washington
to his home in Hawaii and is visiting
with his mother, Mrs. Lucia o. Case Of
West Tenth avenue. Mr.. Case is
member of a commission of seven Sc
lected to assist the representative of
the Hawaiian government in his attempt
to have certain reforms made in the
management of the governmental ana1rs
of the islands.
AS Mr. Case greeted the reporter at
the door of his mothers home and the
cold air followed the entrance OF the
newspaper man he shuddered and said;
1T seems to me that you are having a
mighty cold winter here, at any rate
it is not what I am used to- But we
have no winter in the Islands &c the
temperature is very even at all times,
rarely rising above 80 and seldom go
ing below so. can not say though that
I feel the cold any more than did
when 1 was a resident of this country.
I am of course always glad to get
back to my old home for a visit but
I am very fond of my adopted country
and its people. The conditions there are
about the same as they are in this
country and compare very 1aVoraD ly:
Our school system IS similar TO mat OF
this country and excepting the fact
that we are handicapped for the want
of funds to build school houses 1 tnlhk
that our educational advantages are
equal to those of any country III the
world.
AT nresent we are heavily taxed and
it is this that has brought the comIilis-
sion Of which I am a member, to TINS
country We were selected to assist our
delegate in congress in getting sucn Jaws
passed as will relieve these conditions.
At present our taxes amount 10 80 eseSll
for every man, woman and Cnllu IN tHe
islands.
'sYes.I saw Miss Anna Rose just short
time before I sailed, said Mr.. Case IN re
Spouse to the question. She mas very
kindly remembrance of her trip TO the
United States and particularly to Iopeka,
and as l left her she cautioned me to give
her aloha to all of her friends and &C
quaintances in the United States rms
EXPRESSION carries with it the meaning
which it usually takes an American half
an hour to express, and means love. graf

tax which amounts to per cent or the
relative of the family and an additional
per cent tax if the property goes TO
some one else.
''Our mission to Washington was to
urge congress to adopt the recom1nenda-
ton of President Roosevelt, which Is that
Is Der cent Of the custom duties and in
ternal revenues collected in the Islands be
placed in a special fund and expended un-
der the direction of congress from year
to year for territorial and federal i'm

then leave balance of p per cent to go

this would leave a balance of 10 per cent

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

Lots of nonsense seems wisdom be-
cause it's in a pretty head.
While a girl is learning about love
she can teach a man more than he ever
knew.
The only kind of advice that is ever
taken is the rich relations, and only
when he is there to see you do Il.
If women wore different clothes they
might be a lot more sensible but thew
wouldn't be a millionth part as nice.
When a man happens to make his
bank balance agree with the cashiers
he goes out and begins to brag how he
almost took honors in mathema tics
when he was in college.
Most of the fun in life is the kind
you are looking for.

two hundred persons from drowning

by him in saving persons from a
watery grave.
Assisting him in the act are four
dogs, who are nearly a s famous as the
captain himself These are Daisy
Bell, Sailor, Trilby and Duke. and
while they are not much on looks
ever lived and their part of the per
Torrance is a little short of wonderful.
other numbers on the bill include
the Musical De Fays. who present a
clever musical comedy and indulge in
a musical boxing bout, which is un-
usually clever. Then there are the

B. L. Wincheu, president of the Chi

day In special train Of four cars.
They are bound for a trip over the Ell
PasO division of the line which extends
from HeringtOn, Kan, to Santa Rosa,
n. NJ While on this trip they prob
ably will decide just where the new
district points on this division will be
located, it being the intention of the
officials Of the company to have this
division divided up into four districts
instead of three as at present 1t is
almost certain that the present division
point at Bucklin Will be abolished and
a. new one establishe ed on this side of
that place and one on the other side
but the exact points have not been
picked out as yet.
Mr.. Cain and Mr.. Dolan went UP to
kansas City last night and while they
were waiting for Mr.. Wineheu to ar
rive from Chicago this morning, they
again went over the plans and ground
for the large extension to the freight
terminal facilities which are to be
made in the company's yards at Ar
mourdale. These improvements were
planned in u general way as far back
as December Of last lear and will cost
in the neighbOrhOOd Of a quarter mill
lion dollars. Three sets Of plans have
been drawn for them and 1T has not
been decided as yet just which plan
viii be adopted. Decision in this mat
ter will be made within the next couple
OF weeks and it is expected that the
work on the improvements VIII be
begun by the first of April.
In a general way these plans include
the erection of new shops for both
heavy and light repair work. A new
eighty stall brick round house with
modern turn table and modern equip
ment viii be built as viii a new gravity
the storage of ice. Tt is proposed to
enlarge the present outbound freight
Yards and construct an entirely new
set Of inbound freight yards These
combined yards viii have a capacity
for the handling of ten thousand cars,
which is more than four times as great
as the present capacity of the yards.
Additional team tracks for the city
freight yards will also be put in which
will permit the loading or unloading
Of one hundred and fifty cars at one
time. The new inbound freight yards
are to be built west Of the present
Rock Island junction at Twelfth street
in Ar1uourdale- The outbound yards
will be enlarged so that they will ex-
tend from Fourth street to Twelfth
street and new yards for passenger
trains will be built in the west end Of
Arm ourdale. The shops to be built
will give employment to three hundred
men The round house Will cost in the
neighborhood of $4,000. In addition
to these Improvement the company is
at work on new bridge across the
Raw at Kansas City which will cost
another quarter million. dollars.
