trace Of the missing lad, but to no
avail.
The police are disposed to scout the
theory that the boy has net with foul
play. They rather incline to the belief
that, according to the statements he is
said to have made to his comrades, he
wandered OF to some neHrby town and

The police have instituted another
search throughout the city and the
father Of the boy has been assured by
Inspector Boardman that everything
will be done by the local authorities to
effect the lads return.

the saving in wages of labor will be
extensive.
The contract with the Union Union
Works calls for the delivery of the
steamer next May but the work of
building the boat is progressing very
slowly. In fact the keel has not even
been laid according to the last advices
from Construction Engineer Johnson Of
the Inter-Island Company. The ma
chinery is under construction but the
hull of the boat has not been started.
The cause of this delay Is the failure
of the eastern iron mills to turn out the
material as fast as was originally ex-
pected. There is still a fair prospect,
writes Johnson, that the new vessel
will be completed in time for her de-
livery next spring. She is to go into
commission on the Honolulu-Hilo run,
replacing the Kinau.

The Metropolitan Meat Company
has about completed negotiations with
DR.. Raymond to take over the Ray
rnond Ranch Markets in Honolulu, and
resume the purchase of cattle from the
Raymond ranch which was interrupt
ed early in the year when DR.. Ray
mond started his markets.
There are two of these markets. One
is at the corner of Alakea and Bere-
tania streets, on property owned by
DR.. Raymond. The other is at the
Fish Market on King street in leased
premises.
The report that the Metropolitan
Meat Market had bought out the Ray
mond Ranch Meat Markets was in cir
culation. At the Metropolitan it was
stated that negotiations to this end
were in progress, and seemed likely to
go through, but that the deal had not
been formally or absolutely conclud-
ed. If concluded it would mean simply
that the Metropolitan would take over
the Raymond markets and continue to
run. DR.. Raymond and the Raymond
ranch would cease to have any inter-
est in them, and the ranch would
thereafter sell it's cattle to the Metro
politan Company as other graziers do.
A. N. Campbell, treasurer of the
Henry Waterhouse Trust Company
which has the financial management
of the Raymond ranch says that his
understanding of the deal is that DR..

There have been 632 garnishee suits
against government employees since the
act making such suits possible was
passed, in 1908. In one case now on
file with Auditor Fisher, the defend
ants salary is partially held up for
twenty-three years, if he stays with
the government and tries to work out
the alleged debt. In other words the
amount of the pending garnishment is
so large that it will be twenty-three
years before he works off the debt
The garnishee proposition, which was
an old one under Hawaiian law, was
revived by a recent act of the legisla-
ture providing that the auditor should
be the party served. Immediately To-
cal merchants began to sue debtors,
and now the auditors Office has the
records of 514 cases filed since May,
1908, and County Auditor Bicknell has
the records of 11S cases. Most of them
are small suits against laborers in the
road department, garbage department,
members of the police force, etc
The Territorial auditors garnishees
in many cases cover long terms. I'm
der the law, % per cent of a govern
ment employees salary may be gar
nisheed, but the law provides that the
garnishment lasts from month until
the, debt is satisfied. In proceeding
aaginst an ordinary citizen, a creditor
can garnishee a salaried man for half
of what is coming to him from his en-
ployer. Then the garnishment dies,
whether the debt is satisfied or not.

WANT TO HAVE OPIUM
IMPORTED HERE Direct

1t Is understood that prominent Chi
nese merchants of this city are con-
sdering the advisability of trying to Sc
cure the direct importation of pre-
pared opium, instead of having to bring
the drug by the roundabout way of
San Francisco. Ever since annexa-
ton every pound of prepared opium,
the kind that is used for smoking. has
been first exported from China to San
Francisco. A combination of import
ers at that port have had the entire
control of the export of opium from
China and has been the distributing
agents for America. Local Chinese
dealers in the drug have secured their
stock by bringing it from San Fran
cisco.
1t is now figured that there is no rea-
son why the local people should have
to get the stuff from San Francisco
when arrangements might be made for
securing the direct importation. Under
the American regulations no Chinese
subject can import opium into the Unit
ed States. The idea which the Chinese
dealers and merchants have under con-
sideration is to form a company to
supply the backing to some responsible
broker other than Chinese, to bring the
opium to this port. The middleman

But i'm the case of a government en-
ploye the garnishment holds good
month after month, which is what
makes possible the case in which one
local employe of the government has
one-fourth of his salary tied up TWEEN
ty-three years ahead. There are many
cases in which the garnishment will
last several years.
Some employees of the government
have been garnisheed by two. three or
four different creditors In such u
case it is held that the garnishment
first filed counts first, but the others
are good. When number one is paid
off, number two begins to collect, then
number three, and so on.
Some government employees complain
that the laws proposition of perpe-
tuating a garnishee is an unfair dis
elimination against the government
employees. 1t is also CLAIMED that it
fails to protect the merchants, for as
so on as one creditor acts running
garnishee he rest are helpless. In
some cases, it is said employees of the
government have had friends garnishee
them and collect the endangered twen-
ty-five per cent for them, so that no
creditor could do anything.
The audit office has a special book,
devoted to garnishees. The merchants
claim that the mere size of the busi-
ness shows that the law is necessary,
and point to 632 garnishee suits
against government employees alone.

need some help in collecting debts.

Raymond made his proposal to the
Metropolitan Company, which has been
virtually, though not formally accept
ed. Under this proposal the Metropo-
Titan Company buys the fixtures of the
two markets, and takes over a lease of
the premises where they are located,
and continue to run them. The con-
rection of DR.. Raymond and the Ray
mond ranch with these markets ceases,
and the Metropolitan Company makes
satisfactory arrangements for the pur-
chase of the cattle of the Raymond
ranch. The deal will probably go into
effect the first of the month. DR.. Ray
mcnd returned to Maui yesterday.
J. II. Mackenzie, Of the Henry Wa
terhouse Trust Company, who is con-
Quoting the negotiations for DR.. Ray
mord, said he did not want to say
anything about the matter as he want
ed TO keep it quiet.
Several years ago DR.. Raymond be-
came dissatisfied with the arrange
ment between his ranch and the Met
ropolltan Meat Company, and began
supplying cattle to c. @. Yee Hop
Later his connection with Yee Hop
ended, ana early this year, in order,
as he believed, to secure better returns
from the ranch, he opened up two mar
lets in Honolulu. 1t is these markets

cnt deal. 1t does not affect the ranch
at all, nor the market the ranch oper-

OF COMMERCE

w. A. Mears, of Portland, was in
troduced to the Chamber by ex-Presi-
dent Lowrey. Mr.. Mears was called
on for a speech.
He spoke of Chamber of Commerce
work in general. The Chamber OF
which he has the honor to be member
had nearly 1000 members. He spoke
of how the work in Portland was car
ried on. He stated that he noted
that one-third of the membership of
the Honolulu Chamber was present.
He stated that he thought that was
splendid.
He stated that he would reserve his
message to the chamber until some
other time. He said he hoped though
to establish trade relations between
this port and Portland.
1t was decided that the Chamber of
Commerce and the Merchants Associa-
tion hold joint meeting in order to
meet Mr. Mears
George b. Mcclellan was called on
for a speech. He stated that he had
not much to say as he was unprepared
Mr.. Mcclellan stated that future sue
cess at the capital was bright and
that work done was to the advantage
of Hawaii.
The President then reappointed e. 1
Spaulding and ]. A. McCandless as
members of the Promotion Committed
for the coming year. He said he could
pay no higher tribute to the men.
A motion was passed by the Cham
Der thanking them for work they have
accomplished.
The meeting then adjourned.

would have to be a bona fde importer
in order to comply with the provisions
of the regulations.
There is of course, a question as to
whether arrangements could be made
by any local interests to break into the
combine between the Chinese exporters
and the American importers of opium.
Could an arrangement as is being con-
sidered, be effected, it would mean that
the local port would be the gamer by
a large amount in duty on opium. The
stuff pays Sc a pound duty. The an
nual duty will run some where in the
neighborhood of $5OOOO for Honolulu.
The disaster in San Francisco caused
quite a change in the importation of
goods by Chinese merchants. For the
first time since annexation opium was
brought from a port other than San
francisco. Three consignments came
during the months of June and July
from Victoria aggregating 720 pound.
Other material which the San Fran
cisco dealers could not supply also had
to be imported from other places. 1t
is expected that conditions will be
normal however, and the Alameda on
Friday will bring the usual consign-
ment of prepared opium from San
Francisco.

MAKING OVER LAST SUMMER,s
G0wNg

In these days when many materials
are used in common by three different
generations of women, transfer or
interchange of garments is really a
very easy matter. After all, the
material itself counts for far less in
gown just now than does its cor
rectness of line and the individuality
expressed in its trimming. This
correctness of line is very simple
matter, involving nothing more than
the selection of becomming design
and intelligent obedience to it's
directions. Formerly one had to
choose the design solely in accordance
with the available amount of goods
on hand; and weary work it was to
figure out just which widths would
supply the necessary sleeve lengths,
or where ethe new fronts were to come
from, after sleeves and skirt were
provided for. We are spared all
this work this season, for the
smartest frocks show lines of trim
ing that permit any amount of
piecing In the material, up aud
down, across or on bias. This en-
ables us to select any becoming pat
tern for the remodeling, quite re-
gardless of uneven or broken lengths.

Why THUNDER sOURS MILK.

To many persons the curdling of milk
In thunderstorm is mysterious and
unintelligible phenomenon. Yet the
whole process really is simple and
natural.
Milk, like most other substances, con-
tains millions of bacteria. The milk
bacteria that in day or two, under
natural conditions, would cause the
fluid to sour, are particularly suscep-
tible to electricity. Electricity inspirits
andinvigorates them, affecting them as
alcohol, cocaine or strong tea affects
men. Under the currents influence
they fall to work with amazing energy
and instead of taking couple of days
to sour the milk they accomplish the
task completely in half an hour.
1t is not the thunder in storm that
sours milk; it is the electricity in the
air that does it. With an electric bat
terry it is easy, on the same principle
to sour the freshest milk. A strone
current excites the microbes to super
microbic exertions and in few minutes
they do job that under ordinary con
ditions would take them couple O
days.
