In the first place, our school al

for only seven grades of school

narily for the rural school To
meet the needs Of schools OF the

are the advantages to tie schools

Very Slow
In Making
Tax Returns
TAX ASSESSOR HOLT AGAIN IS
SUES NOTICE TO PEOPLE TO
HURRY UP WITH RETURNS.

All classes Of people and concerns in
the local tax assessment division are
exceptionally slow this year in making
returns. In fact such a condition ex-
lists that Tax Assessor Holt is consid-
erably annoyed by the situation. and
again issues warning to the public to
hurry and make their returns Up to
the present time about 200 returns have
been received, when the full list is be-
tween 5000 and 5000. Unless the delin-
quents get a speedy move en-, there will
be weeping and wailing and crashing
of teeth after the peremptory appraise-
ments are made by the tax assessors.
Nobody" said Assessor Holt this
morning, will have any redress or can
take any appeal from our assessments,
if he has failed to make return by the
end of the present month. There has to
be a check put somewhere, for we can
not be continually changing our books
to correct assessment returns. We are
especially DESTROYS of having people
make their returns promptly and with

possession Of considerable attenuation

THE Man
WHO HUNTS BAGS

George Oompere has come back from
China with a parasite that will speedily
destroy the red scale, that has been such
a pest in the citrus orchards of Califor-
MIA says the San Francisco Chronicle.
The discovery of this parasite is of inesti-
mable value to horticulture in this State.
No orchard pest in the sodthern counties
has been so persistently bad as the red
scale, and no enemy of the fruit-grOwers
has cost them more money in the efforts
that have been put forth to save the trees
and fruit from this blight.
Now comes Compere from far coun-
try with a parasite that will make short
work of the red scale. Compere is an
agent of the State Board of Agriculture,
and is returning from a trip around tire
world He left New York March LIST
last, going to France, Spain, Algiers,
Italy, Australia, China, Ceylon, India,
back to China, and thence to Japan, on
the way to this country. lie is also en-
ployed by the West Australian Govern
ment to find parasites for fruit-destroying
pests.
81 had long known where this parasite
of the red scale existed" said Compere
yesterday, "but it was always difficult to
get it into this country. The few ship
ments of parasites that had been sent in
variably died, and were therefore useless
on arrival, but the present shipment WILL
believe, be of great service. As yet the
parasite is unnamed. 1t comes from the
Canton district of China, but is found in
all the Southern Chinese provinces. 1t
is so effective that red scale is scarcely
ever heard of in that part of the world
81 have also brought back from the
Orient a lively lot of asphis-feeding lady
birds, which will, no doubt. prove to be Of
great value to California. Some of my
discoveries have been sent ahead by other
steamers, and l have still to hear of their
work among California orchards"

The arrival Of the vessel was of spe-
cial interest, as the first consignment
of settlers brought here by the Terri
torial government, under authority
from Washington, reached the islands.
The purpose of bringing the Portu-
guese here is to try to obtain a differ
ent character of labor than the Japa-
nese field coolie. The desire of the Ter
ritorial government is to offer induce
ments to the Portuguese to take up
land for their homes where they can
become citizens and permanent resi-
dents of the Hawaiian Islands. Com
missioner General of Labor Frank P.
Sargent came here especially to supeS-
intend the landing and handling of the
newcomers, and he has given the mat
ter of their reception his personal at
tention. Measles broke out among the
children aboard, and the vessel was
kept in quarantine for a time after her
arrival and the passengers were sent
to the quarantine station. Following
their being admitted they were seen
by friends from the shore and advised
about securing work The majority de-
cided to accept the offers made by va
rious plantations and We're put aboard
steamers and sent to other islands,
where they will be given employment.

DEACON TESLA
WINS HIS SUIT
SUPREME COURT DECIDES IN HIS
FAVOR IN THE MATTER OF
COMPENSATION,

Deacon F. ]. Tesla in his capacity as
editor, has again won his suit against
J. P. Kahahawai, w. White, D. L.
Keku and d. X. Kalauokalani. The
Supreme Court this morning handed
down an opinion, written by Chief
Justice Frear, overruling certain ex-
ceptions from the ruling Of the lower
court.
The deacon won his suit against the
parties involved about a year ago for
$743.4O for materials supplied and SER
vices rendered for conducting a news
paper for them prior to annexation.
The first suit was tried in 1899, Tesla
won in the lower court but was beaten
in the Supreme Court, which ordered
a new trial subsequently he won and
the Supreme Court has now decided
in his favor. The principal point at
issue was whether an oral and a writ
ten agreement between the various
parties were identical and whether w.
White was liable under the terms OF
the written agreement, as he had not
signed it, although he had agreed to
its terms and had entered into the
oral agreement. w. c. Ach was the
attorney for Tesla and w r. Rawlins
for defendants.

THE STORY Of The
SUVERIC BABIES
NEW YORK HERALD'S AUTHEN-
TIC DESCRIPTION OF HOW THEY
WE'RE FED THROUGH A HOSE.

The New York Herald of December
II has the following;
HONOLULU, T. H., December 3, 1906,
Feeding about $50 babies with a hose
is a novel method of giving food to the
youngsters, but this is the way that
the officers Of the British steamship
Suveric are said to have cared for
part of the Portuguese contingent Of
IMMIGRANT settlers trat ar
rived here last Saturday from the
Azores The Portuguese are noted for
their large families and out of the
1925 immigrants that arrived by the
vessel a large number were children,
and many small ones. The captain is
quoted as saying that he had a hose
strung along the deck fitted with $50
nipples. Then milk was pumped
through the hose and with a young
Portuguese baby at the end of each
nipple the youngsters got fat and
healthy. The story as told by a sea-
man from the ship is:
"We was stuck for sure when we
picked up that raft o. young ones. If
we feed 'em condensed milk we lose;
we'd be cleaned out of our supplies in
a day, and if We give em bottled milk
the mothers fight for the best for each
one. Besides, the bottled milk run out.
SO the captain, he says, here's where
every blomin kid gets a fair show.
HE takes three or four lengths o.
fire hose, and every four feet he plugs
it with a little rubber tube an a nip
pie on the end. Then he runs it along
: the deck an pipes all kids to quarters
say, you couldn't get 'em away from
them nipples till they'd fall asleep
from exhaustion eatin' so much. MY
mate, that had to pump the milk from
a barrel into the hose, has had sore
arms for two months,

RUBBER GROVE
@. @. BRADFORD OF THE EXPERT
MENT STATION LEAVES TOMOR-
ROW FOR KAUAI.

90. Bradford, foreman at the Unit
ed States Agricultural Experiment sta
ton leaves tomorrow for Kauai, where
he will make experiments in tapping
the Kauai grove of rubber trees.
This is a very important step in the
progress Of experimentation in rubber
production in these islands. Trees
have been planted and it has been de-
monstrated that they will grow. Now
comes the experiment of tapping which
will demonstrate practically whether
rubber in commercial quantities and
profitable conditions can be grown in
the islands.
The best methods of tapping the kind
of trees most extensively planted in
these islands, is said to be still a mat
ter not conclusively known so that
there is still room for study and expert
mentation.
