LEGAL INFORMATION.
~~~~~~~~~~

One who is at work by the year or
month is not obliged to work Sundays
or holidays, nor can he recover for
work performed on those days, without
a special agreement therefor. Each
State determines It's own holidays, and
there are no holidays in any State IN
less made so by statute.
IF a woman dies and leaves two
small children, and her father dies
later leaving considerable property, but
making no will, are the two children
entitled to their mothers share Of her
fathers property?" Ans.-Yes. Chill
dren are the heirs Of the property their
deceased parents would have received
by heirship.
AS a rule, hotel-keepers and common
carriers, such as railways and truck
men, are liable for loss or injury to
goods while in their possession as such
common carriers, whether such loss or
injury Is caused by their negligence or
not This rule as to hOtel-keeperS is
sometimes modified by statute, as in
Minnesota, allowing the hotel-keeper to
post notices providing that goods shall
be deposited at the Office for safe keep
ing.
There is a stock liability in Mime
sofa for most corporations for pecu-
mary profit other than manufacturing
corporations. That is: one must pay
for his stock once, which is called the
stock subscription liability, and then he
is liable to the creditors for the amount
Of his stock again, which is called a
stock liability. Some other States do
not have a stock liability, and therein
they are more favorable to stock hold
ers.
"a father dies leaving a will setting
forth how much money each child is to
have, with the provision that the cap
ital Is to remain undivided until the
wife, mother to the children, dies. All
the property Is in cash and notes. II
one Of the daughters marries and dies
without offspring before the mother
dies, is that daughters husband en-
titled to her share in the estate when
the will becomes operatiye~ Ans
Under the above statement the right OF
the children to receive the money and
notes is absolute. Therefore If either
Of the children dies before the distribu
ton, his property goes to his or he1
heirs.
Money earned by minor and loaned
to his father, constitutes a legal obli
CATION from the father to the son. AL
though the father has the right to re-
ceive the wages Of minor son, yet Il
Is a right that he may waive, and Il
he has waived the right to receive the
money, and has borrowed it, he Is prob.
ably liable therefor. The objection
might be raised that there was no con
sideration for promise of the father tc
repay the money, inasmuch as he wal
entitled to it anyway. But we think
this objection would not be valid, mas
much as the father receives the money
on the strength Of the promise to re
pay 1t.

Cricket Fights in China.

A. q. Parker has Just returned from
a trip to San-hui, large walled city In
Kwang-tung province, and while there
visited the guardhouse, where he saw
six or seven earthenware bowls Of fight
Ing crickets.
He was much amused as to the de-
scription of the methods Of stabling and
dieting these insects During the day
the female and male crickets are sep
arated, but as soon as night falls they
are mated. Their diet consists Of wa
ter, boiled rice and little ginseng, the
latter to give them stamina.
In matching the insects to fight they
are weighed and a light weight would
not be pltted against welter weight.
The insects are spurred on to combat
with a fine piece of glass, which treat
ment naturally rouses their anger.
The belief that crickets are distin-
xuished by pieces of coIored wool is q
Rallacy. They are recognized by their
owners as we recognize our canine pets
In q contest the first cricket to run
away Is ad1udged the loser.
The officer in charge OF the guard
house mentioned that dispute which
had arisen over a cricket contest three
years ago had yet to be settled, each
party holding that the other mans
cricket ran away first.
Some OF these crickets are indeed
worth many times their weight in gold,
several hundred dollars being some
times paid for real cha1npIon-South

HAMAkUA LAND To
BE REF0REsTED

Albert Horner has applied for a lease
of large area of land in Hamakua
where the great forest fire took place
in 1901. The reforesting Of this land
is offered as part of the consider
alton of the lease.
The land is above both the planta-
tions and the homesteads, and extends
high up into the mountain. There Is
about $1,000 acres Of it but a good
deal Of it is on the upper slopes of
the mountain.
The land is wanted principally for
grazing purposes. 1t is proposed to
divide it into blocks, fencing them of.
One set of blocks will be planted in
trees and the cattle kept out until
the trees are big enough so that the
cattle will not injure them. Then the
cattle will be allowed in these and
the other set of blocks will be planted
with trees. The application for the
lease contains an offer to plant 100000
trees during the period of the lease.
The Governor is considering the
matter and will obtain all the infor-
nation possible both from forestry
point of view and from a pastoral
point of view.

INTEREST IN THE
kAPAPALA LANDS

HILO, August 23.-Interest Is grow
ing here in the sale OF the KapapaIa
ranch land which will be offered ST
auction on Monday, September 9Th. at
the Judiciary building in Honolulu
1t is probable that. when the lease
is offered by Land Commissioner
Pratt. the land will not be allowed to
remain in the hands of the present
occupiers without a struggle. even II
they do not lose some part, perhaps
all OF IL. At the Sub-Agent's land
office in Hilo there have been several
inquiries made for detailed informa-
ton of the lease, and the steps neces-
sary to be taken in advance OF the
sale. As the land is not within the
jurisdiction Of Agent Williams. he de-
clines to furnish the names OF the
parties applying to him. though giving
them every assistance in his power.
That there are three distinct parties.
on the island of Hawaii. discussing the
project, is known here. but whether
any or all of them will bid for the
leases cannot be told till the day OF
the sale. All of them are working
quietly and observing the utmost
secrecy.
There is also a rumor that an asso-
citation has been formed. by a "huf'
of six. to bid for the property.

HIGH SCHOOL

Superintendent of Public Instruction
Babbitt still has it in his heart to
begin the erection of the new high
school building on the Maertens prop
erty, right away. The plans for the
building have been drawn and the spe-
cifcations prepared. The money for
the building must come out of the loan
fund, but apparently he sees no diff
Guilty in that. But Link McCandless
Lanai appeal stands in the way. Until
that case is decided by the Supreme
Court of the United States, the Ter
ritory of Hawaii can not know whether
it has a good title to the Maertens
property or not.
''Mr. Babbitt hopes to find some way
by which the Territory can be assured
of title in any event." said Governor
Frear yesterday, $50 that it will be
safe to proceed with the construction
of the building. Until hear from him
on this matter, shall no nothing fur

VOLCANO LOTS
FOR H|LO FOLK

HILO, August 23.-Engineer Thomas
E Cook is now on the mountain sur
veying the lots on the Volcano road.
which the Territorial Department of
Public Lands proposes shortly to offer
for sale. There has been some delay
in proceeding with this sale because 1t
was first necessary to effect an ex-
change of land with Commissioner
Charles B. Furneaux. whereby a right
of way could be secured. so that all
the lots should have frontage on a
Government road. But as this ex-
of survey will soon be finished.
The lots to be offered are within
about two miles of the Volcano House.
The land is mostly lava, absolutely
worthless for agricultural or pastoral
purposes, except perhaps stray patch
here and there, and the lots are to be
sold simply for mountain residences.
where cottages can be erected so that
people in Hilo can go up there for a
vacation. or from Saturday to Monday.
Some of the lots may be purchased by
people in Honolulu, who will be glad to
have place where their families can
spend a few weeks near the volcano.
1t is the intention of Land Commits
sioner Pratt to offer 1.-The Volcano
Lots at cash sale with no conditions
or strings of any kind attached to
them. The highest bidder will get each
lot, paying cash for it and securing his
patent. They will probably be offered
at nominal valuation. five to ten dol
lars an acre, and be parceled out into
five-acre lots.

CANNOT COLLECT POLLTAx.
Attorney General Passes on Validity
Of Procedure.

Salem-Attorney General Crawford
has filed his opinion in the validity of
the poltax collection with District
Attorney John H. McNary, upon a re-
quest from the latter. House bill 325
which passed the last legislature, re-
pealed sections 3041 and 3142 of Bellin-
ger & Cotton code, which abolishes the
81 polltax law of 1854 and amended
in 1870 to exempt firemen from the
polltaX roll. The act of 1885 and sub
sequent amendatory acts providing for
the state revenues cover the entire
ground of the section enacted in 1854,
providing that state revenues shall be 5
mills on the dollar of all taxable prop
erty and in addition to the ST polltaX.
The attorney general holds that after
the repeating act goes into effect on
May 25 the polltax cannot be legally
collected; that the assessment would
not have the validity of a Judgment I'M
til it is entered on the roll. AS the
roll would not be made up before the
net takes effect, the assessor ould have
no further authority to collect the tax
Or make up the roll, and. that there is
no authority in future for sheriffs to
collect the tax.

Plan to Finance Normal.

Salem-The maintenance of the Mon
mouth State Normal school has revert
ed to the shoulders of the board of re-
gents. Under the provision made by
them at a meeting here, a regular state
ment of the contingent expenses, as
we'll as the payrolls, will be filed with
the secretary of state, as heretofore, and
several banks have agreed to advance
the money on them, requiring an as
signment of the payrols over to them.
The members of the board will individ-
ually stand responsible for the payment
of the hypothecated securities. This
was practically the only course they
could follow, as there are no funds
available by the state, and Governor
Chamberlain could not take any steps
towards securing assistance, even if he
were so disposed.
