KAHUKU CUTS
OUT DIVIDEND
INDEFINITELY
Sensation of Saturday on Street.-Not Positively
" Known at Stock Exchange Board--Shares
Have Been Selling Far Above Par.

At all events, the stoppage of Kahu-
ku dividends which have run at one
per cent monthly the past year is
a disagreeable surprise TO investors
who have bought the stock at a con-
siderable premium. The last sale re-
ported was at $27, the par value being
500 a share. Kahuku, though but an
5000 to 10000 ton plantation, has been
regarded very favorably by the invest
ing public on account of it's moderate
capitalization of $500,00O.
Along with the word of Kahuku's
whole dividend came that of EVA s
cutting off at the middle joint. it's one
per cent monthly being reduced to
one-half per cent. Eva stock was
affected on change in proportion.
Among brokers expressions of opin-
ion were heard on Saturday in adverse
criticism of a slaughtering of div1-
dends, as being unnecessary from any
thing leastwise which appears on the
surface of the general situation. This
happens to have been the view ad-
vanced by Mr.. Cooke himself few
weeks ago, but perhaps material
changes may have taken place mean
time in the conditions of Kahuku.
It was learned on Saturday last that
no cutting of dividends was purposed
with regard to any other of the Alex

Wind from the south tore up the
channel waters yesterday forenoon and
increasing in severity late IN the after
noon and early evening with 1ntermlt
tent squalls, put the dredgers Reciama
tion and Pacific in anything but a safe
nos;tion and the Reclamation had to
be towed in by the tug Kaena. She
was brought inside about 4:3O O'Clock
About the time that the Miowera ar

other in quick succession again tore up
the waters and finally the dredger Pa

tIa Boat House and sea-wall. But with
her two heavy spuds thrust down into
the bottom of the channel and her sue
tion apparatus holding on forward ike
the tentacles of a huge crab, she held
grimly on.
All afternoon the Pacific waited for
the big Fearless, but in spite of fre-
quent whistle signals from the tug the
captain could not be reused. An effort
was made early in the afternoon to get
Captain OLSEN, but failed.
The wind freshened strongly from

nation thought it would pass and they
could continue working on the channel.
Instead of Iessening the wind increased
and the Reclamation whistled for as
sistance. The Kaena, Captain Mosher,
came up to the Fort street dock and
Law there with the Fearless awaiting
Captain OLSEN to take that tugboat
out.

the E'Iadder' would break loose from
the dredger and by so doing endanger
the dredger itself.
Word had been brought ashore that ,
the Reclamation was filing with water
and that her engine room was beng
swamped. However, as she continued
to whistle, this was known to be un- /
true.
Then the pipeline, running from the
Pacific on pontoons to the Naval reser- |
walton, was seen breaking up. The
pipeline broke in several places and
the pontoons drifted away. The pipes
connecting directly with the Pacific !
were loosened and Young Bros, with

work, but they obviated more serious
damage.

Needed Work BEING Done On Cutters
and Parking.

The city officials of Welsh are to be
commended for the work that they are
having done on the cutters, and park
ing of our streets. There is nothing
that shows forth the character of a
town and its people more clearly than
the condition of the streets and side.
walks. and with all the hot air that a
town may expend about its prosperity
it will not convince the average inves-
ter that it is the place for him to in
vest his money in, if the streets, walks
and cutters havethat rundown at-the-
heel appearance, which some of our
sister cities have. Welsh has the best
streets within her corporation of any
city in the parish. If the good work
which is being begun on the cutters
and parking, by the city shall be con-
tinued, then it will only remain with
the individual citizens to make Welsh
the cleanest, best kept city on the line.
Let every resident property owner, or
renter forthat matter, see to it that the
parking along his property is in such
shape that he can use a scythe or
sickle on it as soon as the grass shall
be large enough to warrant it. Don't
wait until grass and weeds are inter-
locked across the walk then excuse
yourself from doing it on the ground
that there is so much rubbish inter-
mingled that you can't cut the grass.
Begin in season, prepare your park
ing, then keep your part in shape and
see how much better thetown will look.

MuchIy Mortgaged.

During the last week at least three
men did lot of wondering and figur-
ing to discover just where they were
at" On March 9, 1905, E. R.
Wilkins gave a mortgage on Troy
property to Gus Tonning for $225.
On June 10, 1905, a second first
mortgage was given by Mr.. Wilkins to
John Cord, farmer, who lives near
Troy. And a little later in June OF
the same year Mr.. Wilkins gave to
Johnny Knudtson a second mortgage
on the same property for $3.50. Last
week the Tonning mortgage came due
and Gus came up to collect his inter
est and principal. Then each OF the
other parties showed up and for time
things were so tangled that a 'Phila
delphia lawyer" could not have told
who was who, nor who owned the
property, the value of which is
several hundred short of the totaI
amount loaned upon it. Mr.. Cord
finally bought up the Tonning mort
gage, and now Mr.. Knudtson is wond-
ering where he can get out. A more
muchly mortgaged" lot Of real estate
probably nevel has been discovered.

A Bright Future.

There is a good market for hens in
this section this spring. There will
always be fine market for eggs and
poultry at Troy, owing to the great
market just north and east of US, and
no matter how many go into the bust
ness the supply will not be equal to
the demand. The same will be true
of butter, vegetable, fruit, honey and
all farm products. And that is why
farm land in the vicinity Of Troy will
increase in value and demand. This
also is the reason why Troy will always
be a good town. The development Of
our resources and the doubling or more
of the entire population Of that great
section from Troy northeast for fifty
miles means prosperity and Troy at the
door to this market, will reap a rich
harvest. 1t means that diversified
farming will pay better than wheat and
that the population here will increase
far beyond the present number. The
future looks bright.

Started a Blaze.

A small blaze, which was put out
before any serious damage resulted,
started in Wallner's store Monday
morning. Mr.. Carlson and John Fahl-
quist had just finished sweeping the
store and after setting the brooms In
the corner near the side door, Mr..
Carlson went across the street to the
postoffice. AS he returned a few
moments later he saw cloud OF smoke
coming out the side door and mo-
ment later was startled to see MI.
Fahlquist rush out with two blazing
brooms. It seems that a coal OF fire
must have dropped from the stove onto
one Of the brooms while the boys were
sweeping out and that the brooms'
soon after being put away, blazed up
and came near causing a bad tlre.
Suppose it had occurred at night,
said Mr.. Wallner as he reported the
matter to the News editor.

Booze Fighters Union.

Major Walker OF Walkerville, having
been refused a saloon license, and
then arrested and fined for running
blind pig" has concluded to accept
conditions and try it once more. Since
some of Latah county's most prominent
attorneys have decided there is no law
to prevent lodges, secret societies or
clubs from running saloons without a
license, as long as the lodge sells only
to its members, Mr.. Walker will organ
ize the Booze Fighters Union where
each member can be supplied with as
much booze as his purse can buy or
his hide hold. There will be pass
words, signs and conntersigns, as well
as high-signs and 'high-balls." There
will be the initiation and the goat, also
professional mixer with the dignifed
title Of official goat tender" to whom
the secrets Of fancy cocktails and other
decoctions are a science. The Booze
Fighters Union, now being organized,
already has more than one hundred
charter members and promises to be-
come extremely popular.
1t is certain there is but one law
governing the sale of intoxicating
beverages, and if the opinion Of oul
legal profession is good law, there will
be no way to prevent Mr.. Walker from
carrying out his plans and supplying
his friends with anything from Milwau-
kee to Sour Mash, at the Booze Fight
ers buffet" CA gentleman's name fo
a resort where those, whose position
makes it unsafe to visit saloons, may
get as full as a goat, or, if more con
genial, take only an occasional bracer.
The initiation ceremony is to be shor
and sweet, consisting of in addition
to all iron-clad, copper-riveted oath II
never take more than one drink-at
time keeping inviolate the sacre'
promise to never refuse drinks as loni
and as often as the other fellow can b
induced to set EN- up. AS soon a
funds can be raised the Booze Fighter
Union will build a beautiful temple a

the social comfort of the members, an
since the county can collect no licens

will go into the lodge treasury. Drink
will be sold only to members, pre-
