The city Of Buffalo has dry goods

A safe. rule about registering and
ie easy to remember is to go and

ne clerks will tell you when you get
lere, otherwise you will make sure
the right to vote.
Marshall county men who are TAX

Marshalltown people are getting out

With the water level in the city wells
owered two feet, there is some prob

whether this is fully established or not
he Importance of the public water
supply is SO far superior to any petty

the city should proceed to be safe at
any cost. A new dam with flood gates
would protect the water supply anu
the property owners as well. VINO is
standing in the way? The man VINO
forces the city to admit river water to
its mains and starts fever epidemic

Down in Oklahoma they are build
ing up new towns and the location of a
college is rich prize. The new city
of Enid recently secured the Christian
College in competition with other Ok
lahoma towns as follows: Enid, $751;
500 cash, 40 acres valued at $4,000,
and 100 scholarships in the college.
Chickasha $4,000 cash and 20 acres.
Ell Reno, $4,000, and 20 acres. Guth-
rie, $4,000 and 20 acres. Shawnee
$4,000, 40 acres and $4,000 of coal
land. Tulsa, 100000, and 20 acres.
Oklahoma City, $4,000 and 40 acres
valued at s50,0O0. Enid being success
full will see her cash bonus all ex-
pended in buildings while the college
will start with twenty-seven instruc-
tors and $4,000 endowment. If ESQ
students attend they will spend over
100000 in the stores Of Enid every
year for all time to come. Eventually
$50 beautiful homes will have been
added to the city as direct result Of
the college increasing property valua-
tons by half million which viii pay
$4,000 every year in taxes forever.
Enid will get her money back in taxes
in fifteen years and have her college
besides to say nothing of the $l00o0o
in trade annually. A college is good
investment for any town viewed from
the commercial standpoint alone.

HAWAIIAN
S|SAL FIBER

FIFTY thousand slsal plants from the
local plantation were shipped 10 the
Philippines q year or 80 ago. Now
the Philippines are Interested In the
development OF the sisal industry and
an EFFORT is being put forth by the
bureau of agriculture there to arouse
enthusiasm over the subject The Min
danao Herald says OF the matter:
The bureau OF agriculture is making
an EFFORT to encourage the growing OF
maguey or sisal hemp In the islands,
This is perhaps the most extensively
used cordage fiber in the world, Yucca
tan alone being credited with growing
some s20,0OO.0O0 worth. 1t is used very
largely in the Manufacture of bindery
Irvine.
On the markets OF the world Philip
pine maguey is called Manila aloe
fiber, but the plant is not an aloe at
all. 1t classes with aloe fiber because
of poor methods of cleaning and pre-
pairing for market. II has been de-
termined definitely that the maguey of
the Philippines is really the true Yu-
oatan fiber plant, and will turn out
fiber in every respect equal to the Yu-
catan fiber so largely used In the
worlds industries.
The bureau last year distributed 50,-
900 plants from Hawaii OF a sub-vari-
ETY. coming from the Bahama islands
that has no spines on the edges OF the
leaves. Lately a machine has been re-
ceived from Mexico for cleaning the
leaves and some excellent specimens of
the cleaned fiber have been forward
ed to New York and London for quo
tations as to market values. There is
little doubt but that the fiber will have
the same market value as Yucatan,
Bahama or Hawaii fiber

Northern steamships will not visit Ho-
nolulu on the voyage home from Japa-
nese ports. A new schedule will be is
sued within few days showing the
sailing dates for the coming year,
which will provide for direct sailings
between Puget Sound and Oriental
ports. This question is one that has
been up ever since the line was estab-
lished and was investigated by Vice
President Howard James, when he
went TO the Orient on the initial voy-
age of the Dakota. When Mr.. James
returned to Seattle he stated that he
could not recommend making Homo
lulu a port of call. The question was
taken up again when Mr.. James
reached st. Paul and an authorized
statement has just been made by the
company to the effect that Honolulu

OF INTEREST TO
Tue PLANTERS
(From Official Sources.)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-One of the
greatest questions that has ever been
before Hawaii is the immigration prob
lem that now confronts your local ad-
ministration as we'll as your planters.
1t must be considered in the intensity
of its seriousness. AS said last week.
If Hawaii is going honestly into the
effort to bring white people there, it
must not fall into the same mistake
1t has made in the past" 1T MUST
BE, IN EARNEST.
An Associated Press dispatch, that
has been published here within the
week, states that one plantation has
arranged for the settlement of n part
of its lanos by one thousand Japanese
laborers; also that the Japanese are
acquiring coffee and vanilla lands. II
this be tue, it will not help Hawaii in
seeking sIecial legislation at the hands
of Congress during the present ses-
sion. Such a policy is in direct oppo-
sition to the wishes of the adminlstra-
ton. Not this alone. 1t may lead TO
a closer investigation of the methods
now in vogue in Hawaii whereby Jap
anese labor is being regularly import
ed for plantation purposes. THIS CAN
BE PROMPTLY STOPPED.
Notwithstanding the official sane
ton given to Hawaii whereby its
Board of immigration may secure Eu-
ropean labor, 1t is not known here
that any action has yet been taken in
this direction. 1t Is only through the
Territory, and its officials, that labor
will be allowed to enter Hawaii. The
indiscriminate importation. for 1t Is no
less, of Japanese labor will soon be
peremptorily forbidden, even If the
Commissioner of immigration is not
already preparing instructions to that
end. There will be no consultation
with planting interests. Federal off,
Gals of the Executive and Immigra-
ton departments may soon receive
their orders, when the Territorial Board
of Immigration will be held strictly
responsible for any attempted technical
heterogeneous, while the literal execu-
ton of all directions will be under the
immigration officials. PLANTATION
PERSONALITY MAY BE DIVORCED
FROM THE TERRITORIAL BOARD.
Terms to be offered to European inn
migrants are far from satisfactory to
the officials in Washington. But, and
solely through the vigorous PERSONAL
ity of Secretary Atkinson, they have
been accepted as a tentative effort in
the direction of more enlightened la
Dor conditions in Hawaii. man can
not support a family on the limited
land area that is now to be offered to
European laborers. Even the added
wage is insufficient to enable this-"on
American lines" Planters must re-
member that the days of cheap plan
tation labor are ended. Hawaii is now
part of an enlightened nation. THE
POLICY OF THE ADMINISTRATION
WILL NOT BE SIDETRACKED.

BADLY HURT
tFrom Mondays Advertiser,

Walter C. Weldon, secretary of the
Hawaiian Fiber Co., was thrown from
his horse in Kapiolani Park yesterday
afternoon and sustained injuries which
rendered him unconscious for some
time. The accident was due to the APP
proach of an automobile which fright
ened the horse, resulting in its falling
upon the rider.
About $3.50 p. m. Mr.. Weldon was
riding on the road beyond j. B. Cas-
ties premises. He was going out to
locate the bark George Curtis, in which
his wife was returning from the Coast.
An automobile belonging tn Mr.. Cha
pin of New York, and driven by a
young lady at that time, approached.
When within about 200 feet the horse
SHE'D and began circling round and
round. The animal became unmanage-
able, especially when the auto came
closer. Instead of stopping the ma
chine the driver kept it moving and,
when it was opposite Mr.. Weldon, the
horse backed directly into the ma
chine, resulting in the overthrow of
the horse and rider.
The automobile was Immediately
stopped and the occupants ran to Mr..
Weedon's aid. Seeing that he was I'M
conscious and bleeding from wound
in the back of his head, Mr.. Chaplin
dispatched his chauffeur in his ma
chine to the Moana Hotel to fetch DR..
Humphris. The automobile made one
of the quickest trips on record between
the park-end and the hotel, but DR..
Humphris was in town. The chauffeur
drove the machine at a hair-raising
speed on his errand of mercy to town.
DR.. Cooper was found and was taken
to the park.
Besides two stitches taken in the
head wounds, DR.. Cooper bandaged one
leg half way up from the knee and
half way below as we'll One hip is
badly wrenched and is set in plaster
and one of Mr.. Weedon's elbows is
hurt.
An ordinance regulating automobile
speed, etc, is at present before the
County Supervisors for final action.
1t is understood that recently many
auto owners agreed to protest against
that provision of the ordinance which
requires them to stop their machines
when they see that an accident Is
likely to result ahead of them, either
through horses shying or inability Of
people to get out of the way, or when
person in the path of an automobile
holds up his or her hand as request
to the auto drivers to stop.
1t is claimed by some auto drivers
that by driving straight along and
passing fractions horse, danger in
most cases will be obviated.
Sundays accident may have some
effect on this provision of the ordi-
nance from the supervisorial stand
point.
