Tests Patience
The Most Patient Honolulu Citizen
Must Show Annoyance at Times.


Nothing spoils good disposition.
Nothing taxes a mans patience,
Like any itchiness of the skin.
Itching Piles almost drive you crazy.
All day it makes you miserable,
All night it keeps you awake.
Itch! Itchl Itch! with no relief.
Just the same with Eczema.
Can hardly keep from scratching it.
You would do so but you know It
makes it worse.
Such miser1es are daily decreasing.
PEOPLE are learning they can be cured.
Learning the merit of Doan's Oint-
ment.
Plenty of proof that Doan's Oint-
ment will cure Piles, Eczema or any
Itchiness of the skin.
Frank Leibly of 326 S. Main St.
Wilkesbarre. Pa, u. s.. says: 'It is
with much pleasure that / testify to
the merits of Doan's Ointment in cases
of itching piles. I suffered from that
tormenting aff1iction for the past year.
commended to me and what I saw ad
vertised, but could get no relief. FL
naIly I procured Doan's Ointment. After
a few applications I was much relieved,
and, continuing the treatment, / was
soon completely cured. 1 have felt
no signs of that intolerable itching
since, and it is four months ago since
used Doan's Ointment To say that
I was delighted is only half expressing
my enthusiasm. I recommend this
remedy whenever the opportunity is
presented. You may publish my state
ment at any time and / can always be
found at 326 S. Main street, ana will
vouch for the same"
Doan's Ointment for sale by all
dealers: price so cents. Mailed by The
HoIlister Drug Co., agents for the Ha-
waiian Islands.

New Rule Made on Desert Land

Absolute ownership of all water rights is required before desert land en- tries can be proven up, according to rule promulgated hy the general land office, which has resulted in the reiec- ton Of numerous final proofs.
 "The claimant must be absolute own CT of of the watef stock appurtenant to tie land, " said General Franck c. Pres colt, register of the land office here, to- day. "Five thousand dollars ofstock hypothecated for $500 is an insufficient showing of reclamation.
 Another drastic rule relative to desert land entries is that only the first blow ing and breaking of the land it credited as the work of reclamation. Subse- quent cultivation and crop raising is held as mere investment These two rules indicate policy of the general land office adverse to any effort to use the desert land act for speculative pur- poses.

fIIoh School bod Imnerinl VaIIev

During the past ten days petitions have been circulated in nine of the thir- teen school districts in this Valley ask ing the county school superintendent to call an election for the formation of a high school district. At the present time the Imperial Valley is not in any high school district at all, but neverthe- less we have to pay taxes for their sup port just the same. The time has come when this condition must come to an end The districts petitioning are Fl Centro, Elder, Silsbee, Central, Jasper, Calexico, Alamo, Holtville and Eastsde
 l.. E. Cooley circulated the petition in all the districts and he informs us that almost everyone who expressed any opinion on the matter of location for the proposed high school favored El Oentro. This is but natural as in any
 matter of that kind the most central lo- catIon IS the most desirable. And aside rom it's central location Fl Centro pos sesses all the advantages that can be of- tered by any other point. Besides all thls the El Centro Land Go. proposes to build a modern, up-to-date school building such as will meet the needs Of the district for many years to come and to donate it to the district free of all ex- pehse, together with the necessary grounds. This building will be either brick or frame just as the people wish and will be two stories high. It is ex- pected that the election to vote on the organization of the district will be call ed at an early date and the matter ex- pedited so that the high school can open Tn its new building at the beginning Of the school term next fall

 The linemen of the Holton Power Co. are busily putting up the poles for the electric light and power service in Fl Centro. With the water works being put in and the electric service being in- stalled it is evident that Fl Centro will soon be the best equipped with modern advantages, of any town in the Valley.
 The Fl Ccntro Literary Society /has> made arrangements to open free read ing room in the store room on the ground floor of the Hotel Fl Centro building, now occupied by Mir. Rum- sey's Department Store, just as soon as Mr. Rumsey's new store is finished, so he can move into it and vacate his pres ent quarters. It is planned to have good supply of the best and most appro- priate literature for such reading room. also the latest magazines and newspapers With such a beginning it is inevitable that ere long Fl Centro will have pub
 lie library.
 Scraper teams are leveling down and carrying away the dirt removed in exca- vating the cesspools for the Hotel lGl Centro. Teams are also hauling away the dirt piled up behind the Holt build ings and opera house block, put there from digging their foundations. A good many wagon loads of refuse and rubbish has been hauled away that ac- cumulated on the streets when the Ho- tel Fl Centro, and finished Holt build ings were under construction, and this work has improved the appearance of the streets very much. The cement sidewalk is completed in front of the PRESS office, but there is large amount of lum Der and bricks for the bank and opera house blocks still in evidence. Immense piles of sand and gravel still line Main street, where the sidewalks are not completed, and the conditions everywhere are such that any visitor can very readily see "where $2OO, ,OOO is being spent" if he will only look about at the many splendid buildings now be- ing erected in Fl Centro.
