GARDEN PSHOTS

Get the poisons ready for the early
insects.
Beginning with the advent of spring
there are few places SO interesting as
the hardy flower garden. The annuals
have to be sown and the half hardy
plants have to be planted before they
can be enjoyed.
If gardener has not experimental
with his soil so as to know to what
fertilizing elements 1t really needs he
must use formula, and one carrying
about 3 TO 3I2 per cent nitrogen, TO
per cent available phosphoric acid and
4 to . per cent potash will usually be
found as profitable as any.
Sow Prizetaker onions indoors, to be
transplanted to the garden In May.
If seeds are planted in dry soil or in
soil that Is less moist than the seeds the
drler soil will extract the moisture
from the seed and retard development.
The radish is one of the favorite ear
ly spring vegetables, and it is one Of
easy cultivation. We naturally look
forward to this as the one very early,
IL not the first, that we are to grow to
maturity, either in the frame or outside
ground.
For success with parsnips use fresh
seed, plant very early and quite thick
and thin out the seedlings to six TO
seTen inches apart.

Poisoning the Roll weevu.

3. W. Marston Of the Louisiana crop
pest commission predicts that in five
years the cotton boil weevil will be
universally poisoned wherever it is in
April and May, just as the potato bug
is being universally poisoned. Mr..
Marston bases his prediction on expert
ments carried on at Keachie, La, last
year. He contends that it has been
conclusively proven that the hibernated
weeyil can be killed in April and May
with paris green, and, he adds, in
Farm and Ranch:
'The Keachie demonstration proves
that had every weevil in Texas and
Louisiana been poisoned upon its first
appearance it would have solved the
boil weevil proposition. But it is said
that the boil weevil continues hibernat-
ing into the hot, scorching month of
June 60. All the weevils put up this
last year died in December. We can
risk those juno hibernated (D weevils."

FOR
THE REFUND
THE DELEGATE TO WASHINGTON
FROM MAUI RETURNS THIS
MORNING ON THE ALAMEDA.

Dan II. Case, County Attorney of
Maui, and one of the delegates to
Washington in the matter of the re-
fund bill, returned this morning on the
Alameda. He seems pleased with the
work accomplished by the delegation
and especially pleased at the reception
afforded the delegation in Washington
by the members of the House and
prominent men.
Just before leaving San Francisco
Case telegraphed for the latest news
and received the following telegram
from G.. b. Mcclellan, private secretary
to delegate Kuhio:
More encouraging for year term.
Committee considering. Enthusiasm
lacking"
Mr.. Case said that he thought the
bill would pass when amended to a 5
year period of time. And even if the
bill did not pass much good would oc-
cur to Hawaii from the visit of the
delegation.
The chief reason for the non-passage
of the bill would be the precedent it
would establish. Congressman were
afraid of that and would hesitate be-
fore committing themselves. Still there
was a chance of the bill passing,
and it was almost a certainty that the
committee on territories would report
it favorably to the House.
Every congressman who had ever
visited Hawaii" said Mr.. Case, "is our
staunch friend and will help all that
| they can"
| The delegation received every con-
sideration from members of both the
House and the Senate. Heads of de-
partments were every ready to give
| their attention to the delegates.
The remainder of the delegation, with
the exception of Mr. Loebenstein of
Hilo, will return on the Korea March
2S.
Mr.. Case will proceed to Maui this
evening on the Claudine.

Power of
Court at
Washington
TOUGH LEGAL QUESTION WHICH
THREATENED TO ENGAGE SU-
PREME COURT HERE.

The question of the power of the
Supreme Court of the United States to
issue an execution for costs against
property of the Territory of Hawaii is
another feature of the fisheries eXecu-
tion matter which was discussed in the
Supreme Court. 1t came up on, Attorney
B. L. Marx demand" that the man
date of the United States Supreme
Court be followed in the case. The
local court appeared disposed to fight
shy of that proposition
THAT is a question" said Justice
Hartwell, (which l would prefer not to
have to decide, and 1 hope it will not
arise. l am not prepared to express
views either way on the question with
out considerable study, but it does not
appear to be necessary to raise such a
question now at this time and hope
it will not be raised"
The fact remained, however, that the
order of the Washington court, ad-
dressed to the justices of Hawaii, de-
clared that the winning party should
have costs and have execution therefor
and said to the justices you therefore
are hereby commanded that such exc
cution and further proceedings be
had" etc.
The court here remanded the case to
the circuit court, all the members of
the court agreeing that now was not
the time to assess the costs. Justice
Wilder pointed out that on new trial
the fishery claimant might lose again
in which case costs would not lie a
gainst the territory. AS the matter
stands the territory either through the
Attorney Generals department Of a
legislative appropriation, will stand
| the costs.

THE SEA
TWO ISLANDS DISAPPEARED
DURING THE TERRIBLE HURRI-
CANE WHICH SWEPT GROUP.

AUCKLAND, (New Zealand) March
13.-The steamer Tavinui, from the
Samoan islands, has arrived here
bringing additional details of the
storm which swept over the Society,
Tuamotu and Cooks islands on Feb
ruary 7th and 8th.
The war ship Zelee reports that
Tuamotu, low archipelago, suffered
severely The small islands of Vaero
and Hukueru are said to have disap-
peared Heavy seas swept over many
islands, the natives seeking refuge by
climbing cocoa palms.
Six lives were lost on the island of
Tahiti, including Father Paul, a Cath
olic missionary, who, after having
sought safety i'm a tree for several
hours, fell into the waves, Twenty
five persons were drowned on Amaze
island, on which the once beautiful
district of Tuirare was reduced to a
bare coral strand. There were six
deaths on the island of Motutonga,
where native divers saved the lives of
many people who had been in the wa
ter twelve hours. 1t will probably be
some time before the damage to the
Tuamotu islands is known

Alarm For
The Bark
R.P. Rithet
SHE IS OUT SO DAYS TO-DAY FROM
SAN FRANCISCO AND MAY BE
SHORT OF WATER.

A great deal of apprehension is be-
ing felt here over the bark r. p. Rithet
The vessel is out SO days today from
San Francisco. The danger to the
vessel is not so much bad weather, as
the possibility that she may have run
short of water. She left San Fran
cisco with ten passengers for this port.
She carries a crew of about l6 offict RS
and men. In addition to the human
beings aboard she had a deck load of
$50 hogs. Such condition necessitated
a greater supply of water than usual.
1t is doubtful in the minds of many
well informed sea faring people if
the vessel was able to take a sufficient
supply of water to last for 80 days. 1t
was probably figured that she would
not require more than 25 days in which
to make the run to this port. She is
now eight days over that period. There
is of course, a possibility that the ves-
sci may have renewed her supply of
fresh water by means of rains but
whether she encountered and rains
is problematical 1t may have been
necessary for her to throw some of the
hogs overheard in order to save suffi-
cient fresh water to enable her to com
plete the run to this port.
On the other hand she may get
through all right but the general feel
ing is that the crew and passengers
may have to go on short ratiOns of wa
ter to accomplish this result.
The vessel is making one of the long
est passages on record from San Fran
cisco to this port, 1t Is doubtful If as
good a vessel as the Rithet has ever
been out. as long as she is on the pre-
sent trip. No official record of long
passages appears to have been kept
by anyone in the city but the general
impression among sea faring people is
that 40 days was about the longest
period for a vessel to take to make the
trip from San Francisco to Honolulu.

HONGKONG HAS
MUCH SMALLPOX
THERE WE'RE SIXTEEN DEATHS
FEBRUARY 20.

Smallpox now prevails at various
ports in the Far East. The S. S. Sibe-
ria arrived last night after having had
two cases and last week the S. S. Cop
tic arrived with one case that broke
out after leaving Yokohama.
The smallpox evidently has origin
ated in Hongkong. There was no
smallpox in any Japanese port up to
the last reports received by the local
quarantine officials, but in Shanghai
and HOngkOng there had been evidence
of the disease. At Shanghai for two
weeks ending February 90 there was
one death but at Hongkong for the
two weeks ending February 20, there
was a total of 10 cases with 16 deaths.
While this is not very large for a
big city like Hongkong, still the steam
ers coming from the Orient have been
unlucky. However the health precau-
tions that are taken are such as to
make the spread of the disease very
unlikely

TO OPEN BIDS
FOR NEW SLIP
SLIP EVA OF ALAKEA
STREET SLIP is TO BE CON-
STRUCTED SHORTLY.

Bids for the construction of the sec
ond new slip for the Territorial gov
ernment will be opened March 80. The
new slip is to be known as the Kilauea
slip and win parallel the new Alakea
street slip, lying Eva of the Alakea
street cocks. Lord & Belser have
started on the construction of a sea
wall about the new Kilauea street slip.
This contract includes the wall about
the Kilauea slip, as wen as the wall at
the head and on the eva side of the
Alakea street slip.
The government has formally accept
ed the new Alakea street slip. The
cost was $16S,OOO. The contract was
let on February IA, 1905 to John Walk
er but was sublet by him to Lord and
Belser. Work was not commenced un-
til July of last year Owing to va
rous mishaps, there were frequent
delays in the work and the slip was
not finished within the contract time.
The slip Is large enough to accommo-
date the biggest steamers coming to
! this port and two can lie in the slip
at the same time.
