A WISE MOVE.
Exhibit OF Agricultural Products OF
Carson Sink Valley.


\ collection Of the products of irriga-
tion in the Carson Sink Valley will be
placed ON exhibition in the Reclamation
Service office at Eallon for the informa-
ton of all prospective settlers Nearly
all visitors call on the government
officials and in lack of more central
place the exhibit will be placed there.
All farmers are invited to bring repre-
sentative specimens of vegetables, fruit,
and SO forth, to the Engineer-in Charge
OF the Fallon office. An attractive ex-
hibit will he arranged. There has been
talk of placing similar exhibit at
Hazen, and if arrangements can be
made, this will be done. Either the
Nevada Inn or the Reclamation Service
office will be honored in our sister town.
A collection Of photographs is being
made for the Boise irrigation congress
i'll September. Photographs showing
the irrigation works, the kind of crops
we grow and how We harvest them, will
be shown to the delegates OF the con
gress. 1t is likely that lantern slides
will he made from some OF the best
views obtained and the irrigation con-
gress will be treated to lantern slide
lectures of our valley and its possibil-
tiles for the farmer.

THE FRUITS OF INDUSTRY.

VIM. Sheckler and family were in
Fallon Sunday. He stated that his
brothers, Dan and Ben, and the family
Vi the latter, had been at Lake Tahoe
for the past three weeks and that he ex
pected them home in few DAYS.
Speaking about crops, Mr.. Shecklei said
that he believed he had as fine pros
pect ior first crop as was ever grown
IN Carson millet, corn, alfalfa,
watermelons, etc. The experience of
these brothers is a good example OF
what can be accomplished here by con
centiation OF energy and unity OF pur-
pose They arrived here from Kansas
IN February of this year and filed on 30
acres each They built two good houses
with cellars, chicken houses, corrals,
planted shade trees, cleared, leveled and
planted 20 acres in cereals, squashes
and melons. They fully realize that
there is no excellence without great
labor. and as Mr.. Sheckler says "When
we settled here we knew that We had
abont five or six years OF hard work be
lore rs. At the end of that time | am
satisfied that our labor will he well re
warded. The trouble with some people
is that they want to get something for
nothing. That time has passed 3"

IMPROVING LIGHT SERVICE.

Engineer J. b. Conley has been busy
this week overhauling the machinery in
the electrie light plant. As conse-
quence, our service was somewhat inn
paired for short time, but Mr.. .Conley
says that this will not be necessary
again for a long time The officials OF
the light company are very much dis
appointed in the work Of their previous
engineer, III. :. Anderson, who lett
recently for the east, 1t developed
after his departure that he had used
nails in tightening bearings in the place
OF babbt, and the misuse accorded the
machinery by him resulted in good
deal of damage. His departure Was
FASTENED no doubt, by the knowledge
that his actions had brought about a
condition in the plant that would have
to be made public soon. Anderson was
a good mechanic and engineer. which
TACT adds to his culpabilily.

ADDITIONAL LOCALS

A. K. Jeffrey has purchased corner
lot in the W. W. Williams tract near
the {. NJ. Burchell residence and will
move his fine new residence there with
in the next few days. Although he
built the residence only two years ago
the business section OF the town has
crept too close to him and the lots oc-
cupied by him will be sold for business
purposes
Among the buildings contemplated
for Fallon in the near future is modern
church structure for the Nj. +, Church
organization. We are informed bv Rev.
j. r. Price, the pastor, that lots have
been donated and $3.50 raised for the
enterprise. With the coming of cool
weather Mr. Price will commence upon
active work, and hopes to have the
building completed by the time snow
hie5 again.
+. S. Brock, who left Fallon recently
Tor Lake Tahoe, writes from Brockway
that his run down condition is being
rapidly snpplanted with the Vim of
youth, and that Lake Tahoe is the
grandest spot in the world. After all,

the ssenic beauty OF Lake Tahoe nor the
healthful effects OF an outing there

In response to a request from Engineer
Thomas IL. Means, j. W. Ferguson

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1906-11-03

II can't understand it, I gave the
man a piece of land to settle a debt,
and the thing is growing larger all the
time" said William Kuhia, a Hawaiian
laborer who was a petitioner in bank
ruptcy in the Federal court this MORN
ing, and who had just testified to sign
ing a note for 5000 with interest at six
per cent a month. Kuhias statement
to the court was the most remarkable
example of the usury business that has
come up, among a number presented
to the Federal court. Judge Dole or
dered his testimony transcribed, and it
is said that the matter will be pre-
sented to the Territorial Grand Jury.
After Kuhia's petition had been pre-
sented by Attorney Rawlins Judge
Dole made an inquiry regarding a note
for $3OS, due to Charles Martin, which
was among the schedule of debts. Ku-
hia said:
"Well, to start from the beginning of
this debt of $3OS.OO, it started this way.
I used to go to w. L. Peterson and get
SO or 81 a week. or once in two weeks,
and finally there was a suit involving
some land in which my sister had an
interest, and Mr.. Peterson urged the
employment of his brother, who was
an attorney, and then agreed to pay
his brother for the services, which was
done. Afterwards I borrowed on top
of that, $25. I made several payments
on account of this, handed the money
to Peterson, for which 1 got receipts,
and eventually note for 5000 was
made and signed by me. This note
was bearing six per cent interest per

EVERETT WAS NOT
FORCED TO LEAVE
NO EVIDENCE CAN BE FOUND
WHICH SHOWS THE TYPIST WAS
FORCED TO LEAVE.

The publication of a letter from Ar
thur c. Everett, N. NJ, Typist, alleging
that he had been or was about to be
deported because unable to make a
living at his profession of typewriting,
and unwilling to go to the Leahi Home,
aroused considerable feeling. The in
ference was given i'm the article that
it was the Sheriff or the Sheriff's officers
who had given Everett the alternative.
Sheriff Brown was not at his Office to-
day but Assistant Sheriff Vida said the
police had never had the man under
considerations; had never threatened
him with deportation, and in fact had
not talked to him or about him about
the matter.
1t was thought possible that it was
the Board of Health that might be seek
ing as means of preventing the spread
of cOntagiOn to get him to go to the
Leahi Home, it being understood that
the man is a cOnsumptive However,
President Pinkham says they have
never had anything to do with the man
except that some time ago at the re-
quest of somebody he secured permis-
sion for the man to go to the Leahi
Home. superintendent Taylor of the
Home says he has never been there
Everett went to the coast yesterday
on the Korea.
1t seems improbable from what can
be learned that Everett was required
by any one to leave Hoolulu much less
that he was deported.

The polls will open at eight o'clock

Fifth district has seventeen candidates
for the House and the Fourth 70.
In view of the four tickets it is
thought that the voting will be very
slow in some precincts. In localities
where there are about 500 voters regis

not have a chance to vote. Under the

that there was a little under Ia feet of

Macaulay the pilot went to her and
soon began to aid in the work of trying

from Kauai ports put a stern line on

passed at 8 a. m. from Hilo and way

enough American flags in the masses
