It not infrequently happens that the price of fall apples is materially af- fected by an abundant crop of peaches and pears, which, with. the low freight rates prevailing, can be put down In al- most any part of the country at a moderate cost The converse of this proposition Is equally true.

That hired man who Is always breaking, misplacing or carelessly loaning farm tools and machinery had better give room for some one else.

Do some of you boys and girls who are i'll town attending high school and incidentally having a good time realize that the opportunity, books, tuition, clothes and board mean long hours and sacrifice on the part of some loving fla ther and mother at home, who long to see worked out in you the ambitions which they were never able to realize?

Be sides all the housework, she has the garden, the poultry and much of the young stock to look after and is al- ways expected to be ready to help in an emergency.

Not infrequently the good housewife complains of bad spots in the pota- toes which cause a good deal of waste. There are black places and ragged gashes This is caused by using a sharp tined fork in handling the pota- toes or they are shoveled up in a wholesale way much as coal is han dled.

A practical and helpful service that any school, religious or benevolent or ganization might perform lies along the line of a more thorough dissemination and interchange of the vast amount of excellent reading matter that now weighs down, but doesn't enlighten, the closet shelves of so many homes. To be valuable, good papers and maga- zines must be read and digested. Stacked up, they fail of their mission.

There is not sufficient validity in the goose bone and muskrat house prog nostications of the old fashioned weather prophet so that one would be justified in making provisions for any less than the usual amount of food and fuel for the coming winter. If a fellow lays in fuel supplies adequate for the coldest winter and has some left in his bin when spring comes 1t is certainly a good omen, and he has that much at least to be thankful for.

We sometimes treat a storeroom as though its only purpose in being was a place to deposit rubbish, for we could hardly call the contents of many stoye rooms anything else. This habit of ac- cumulating and saving from year to year old stuff that we have no present need for and we see no immediate flu ture use for grows with us, and our only relief Is fire, flood, cyclone or to move out-usually the latter. A store room Is a most useful and necessary place when kept in some kind of shape.
 The last assembly of the Iowa legis- lature gave the good roads cause a substantial lift when they passed 8 law with view to encouraging the use of wide tired wagons on the pub lie highways and providing for re- bate of one-fourth of their road tax to persons using wagons with tires not less than three inches in width when hauling loads of over 800 pounds in weight. The first rebate is to be given July 1, 1907, and each July 1 thereaft- CT, providing the person complying with the provisions of the law shall make an affidavit to that effect before notary public. The law as passed Is eminently sensible and Is bound to fetch dadnite results in the matter Of highway improvement.

Spraying experience of the past sea- son has proved beyond question that the earlier treatments are by all odds the most valuable in checking the ap- pie scab and damage from codling moth.

A wind break is one of the first things to consider when one Is thinking of engaging in fruit raising. This is as necessary for the smaller varieties of fruit as we'll as the orchard. The char acter of the wind break should depend somewhat upon how extensive ones operations are to be. A thick hedgerow of evergreens or stretch of woodland is best and will serve to keep out the severer currents of air as well as keep in the necessary moisture.

We heard a lady say the other day that she always scrubbed her spring chickens thoroughly-she used soap, water and a brush-and rinsed them well before she considered them fit for the kettle or the frying pan. This certainly Is reasonable, inasmuch as the barnyard fowls are only protected by a natural covering of feathers which is by no means impregnable when 1t comes to the dust, vermin and weather exposure to which they are subjected.

We have on our home lawn a Winter Abort which this year bore a bushel of very handsome apples. The fruit is a bright russet red in color, very uniform in size, a trifie smaller nosed and somewhat longer tran the Wealthy and as yet too hard to be good eating. The apple is of good quality, being pleasant to the taste and of firm texture. Although in blue grass sod, the tree seems to be hardy and vigorous and all in all gives prom ise of being a useful winter variety.

FEARFUL SEIZURES OF PI IN
Doan's Backache Kidney Pills Remov.
ed a Dozen Large Stones and
Relieved the Pain.

Joseph Deloge, of Renton, Wash,
U. S. A, writes of his wonderful cure.
He says:
II think the alkali water of the West
affected my kidneys. I began to have
pain in the back. headache and dizzy
spells I was so stiff and lame it hurt
me to work. / came to Seattle, but
the change of climate did not help me
It was dangerous for me to work at
my trade. Once l was taken with a
dizzy spell when walking along the
joists of building. l had to get down
on my knees TO avoid falling to the
ground The urine at this time was
thick, red and i'll smelling. Soon 1 was
taken with an awful pain in the groin.
I thought 1 had appendicitis. In agony
l went to a doctor. He said gall stone,
and administered morphine to ease my
pain. He gave me some effervescent
salts and said it would dissolve the
stone, but it didn't.
Soon after this, heard about Doan's
Backache Kidney Pills, and began
using them faithfully The treatment
very quickly began to dissolve the
stone. 1t crumbled and came out in the
urine, in the form of a sandy, gritty
sediment. For several days this con-
tinued, and the grit was so thick 1t
could be scraped off the bottom of the
vessel in large quantities. One day
the urine stopped flowing, and l was
taken with frightful pain. 1t kept
IN all through the hours of the night.
There was constant desire to urinate,
but could not pass drop. In the
morning that big stone 1 sent you came
out. and was followed with a gush of
blood in the urine. Next came the
smaller stones, and then more sand and
grit.
THE suffering was something terri
BILE. but l began to feel well right after.
Backache, headache, and dizziness
disappeared, and 1 picked up in health
and strength. My whole system felt
the benefit. 1 am sure Doan's Back

Immigrants To
TAKE Up LAND

Frank L. Hatch, clerk of the Fed
eral Court, returned yesterday morn
ing from Kauai, where he has been
for several days past. He went to the
Garden Island for the purpose of re-
ceiving declarations of intention to be-
come citizens from a number of Por-
tuguese and Spanish immigrants, who
have recently entered the Territory. In
telling of his trip yesterday he said:
while on Kauai 1 took the declara-
lions of six Spaniards and five Por-
tuguese who have recently arrived in
this country and wish to become citi-
zens Of the United States. They were
all able to sign their names and can
talk a sort Of pidgin English. They
We're mostly men of large families,
and came from the McBryde. Kekaha,
Makaweli and Lihue plantations.
Their intention is to take up land
in the Territory, and according to the
Territorial regulations they must have
taken out their first papers in order
10 get the homestead rights The plan
tat'ons, particularly the McBryde, are
anxious that the men with large fam
lilies shall take up land and live on it,
that both they and their children may
work on the plantations
Some twenty-five or thirty have al
ready taken their first papers out and
have taken up land. AS my wife and
drove through the country we saw
little houses which these
people have built, and which, while |
plain and simple, seemed to be COM !
Portable and neatly kept. In most |
,ases the ground around the house had |
been plowed, and in some cases trees
lad been planted. showing that the in
labitants were going ahead in the |
light way. It is hoped that others
will follow suit and that there will |
De large colony of settlers, who will |
Ill be permanent in the island and will |
LII be citizens of the United States.
They expect to grow vege tables |
here, and pineapples, the latter in
which can be sent to a |
cannery which is not far
away and should help the men, who |
work on the plantations, to make a |
very good living. The land which |
hey have been given seems to be Of |
very good quality. and to be very fer |
lie. From what 1 saw I should say |
hat the experiment should be a very |
good one and that it would help out

kALAUAO GETS
HIS HOMESTEAD

HILO, October 21.-After a wait of
no less than thirty-two days, in which
he was occasionally relieved by other
members of his family, George Kalau-
40 yesterday secured the ten acres of
land at Olaa for which he has been
longing. Kalauao secured chair and
took up his position beside the door
of sub-Land Agent Williams Office
when the land was first advertised.
He happens to be brother-in-law of
the agent, but that made no difference
for the man first to appear on the
morning that the right-to-purchase
leases were put up, was the man who
scored first.
Yesterday morning at o'clock was
the eventful time but for a couple of
hours before this Kalauao abandoned
his chair and stood with his hand on
the handle of the Land Office door.
There was no wild rush, however, as
it was some time after he had recorded
his claim that another applicant ap-
peared. He was W. o. Kamakaokalani
whose name, which indicates that he is
1.-The Eye from Heaven" would seem
to show that he is good one to spy
out a choice lot. He secured lot 4,
Kaniahiku, appraised at $50.
Late in the morning F. S. Mini took
up lot 215 in the New Olaa tract, so
acres, valued at $175 with improve
ments valued at $425.
The auction of cash freeho1ds took
place yesterday afternoon when the
following invested in homesteads: Mrs.
Kukona Porter, lot GO, Kaiwiki, $3.50
acres, 1854; Frank Jose, lot 1, New
olaa tract, 47.s0 acres, $143.50; Alfred
Gaspar, lot s, New Olaa tract, 1922
acres, s136; NJ. Hockey, lot 200, New
olaa tract, 4s.62 acres, $17O.25.

EMPRESS LINE
MAY STOP HERE

That it is possible that the tourist
business may be benefited greatly,
through the stopping of the big and
fast steamers of the Empress line at
this port, seems a possibility which
may be realized in the near future.
The route via Honolulu, while slower
| than the northern route traversed by
the Empress boats at present, is much
preferred by the general travelling pub
lie on account of the calm weather
and the freedom from the excessive
cold which is almost invariably en-
countered by the vessels on the north
ern route.
Under large head lines, Compress
Line May Touch at Hawaii" is found
the following article on the shipping
page of the Tacoma Ledger:
VICTORIA, B. Cy Oct. 13.-Report is
current that some of the directors of
the C. P. R. favor the routing of the
new Empress steamers via Honolulu
when they are placed in the Oriental
service instead of the three Expresses
now in service. That this question has
been under consideration in the past
is well known, but owing to the neees-
sity of making fast time the idea has
been abandoned. If the larger and
faster Empress steamers were routed
to Yokohama by way of Honolulu at
least 1400 miles more steaming would
be required and three days added to
the time occupied in making the run
direct to Yokohama. The steamers
running to China and Japan from San
Francisco all ply via Honolulu and oc-
cupy from sixteen to twenty days in
making the run across the Pacific. 1t
is thought by some that this route is
more in favor with travellers.
1t is improbable, however, in the
view of local officials, that decision
will be reached to send the steamers
via Honolulu, as the delay occasioned
would be too great. With the increas-
ing competition of the Trans Siberian
route and the Peninsular & Oriental
Steamship service in landing the Brit
ish mails rapidly at Honkong faster
service is being demanded by the Brit
ish government, and, as stated some |
days ago, if the C. P. R. company gets |
renewal of the subsidy paid for car
rying the mails to and from Hong
kong a much faster service will be re-
quired, and it is in consequence of
this demand that the decision has been
reached to build faster steamers for
the Atlantic service and send the En-
press of Ireland and Empress of Britain
to the Pacific. These steamers can
make the run to Yokohama in nine

WILL INVESTIGATE.

The Oceanic Steamship Company has
requested the United States inspectors
of steam vessels to hold an inquiry into
the causes that led to the liner Mari
posa running short of fuel at sea. In
spector John Bulger spent several
hours on board the liner yesterday and
the investigation will be held this
week. The published statement that
the Mariposa was sent TO sea with a
scant supply of fuel was not founded
upon fact. The Mariposa's tanks have
capacity Tor enough liquid fuel to
serve for the round trip and a week
over. On this particular voyage not
only were the tanks filed, but also the
cofferdams. and under ordinary circum-
stances there should have been enough
oil over to take the steamer back again
to Papeete.
