HIL0 JAPANESE ARE 80
lPLANN|NG FOR FUTURE

The certainty that now the HIo
breakwater scheme is to be carried out
has awakened the japanese of that
community TO the possibilities that are
in store for them and they are begin
ming already to start things their way.
The Hilo japanese Merchants Asso-
citation, through Messrs. Hata and De-
gawa, have laid their wishes before
Consul General Saito and their petit
tons and requests are going forward
TO Japan through diplomatic channels.
In the first place the japanese mer-
chants in the Ambitious City want the
japanese liners and freighters plying
between Yokohama and San Francisco
TO make Hilo a port of call as soon
as the harbor improvements are car
ried out. They point out that when
the breakwater is in position these
steamers VIII find every possible ac-
commodation there for the discharge of
freight and the discharging of cargoes
for Hawaii at Hilo instead of at Homo
lulu will effect saving of one handling
and big proportion of the freight
charges.
Another important request is that a
branch consulate be established at Hilo
to facilitate japanese business. The
request concerning the steamers Con-
sui Saito is asked to bring before the
steamship companies; the request for
a branch consulate he is asked to
present to the japanese Foreign De-
partment.
The Consul General has pointed out
that this latter request can not be
dealt with except by action of the Jap
anese Parliament, the establishment of
a consular post at Hilo requiring an

JOE TOOK COW
BY BOTH HORNS

Joe Francis of Kalihi met with a
thrilling adventure the other night
which, happily for him, ended without
his sustaining any serious personal in
jury.
Francis and Cockett were returning
from town in hack and had a bull
terrier along with them. Near Kane
hameha " road the dog jumped out
of the hack and attached itself to the
nose of a calf which was pasturing
along the road.
Joe took pity on the calf and jump
ing from the vehicle tried to pull it
from the bovine s proboscis. The moth
err of the cow, which happened to be
nearby, thought that Joe was hurting
her offspring and rushed to the rescue
of the calf.
Francis literally took the cow by the
horns and hung on for dear life, be
ing afraid to let go. The bull-terrier
also shifted its attentions from the calf
to the cow and a merry mix-up ensued.
Finally the cow forced Joseph against
a fence and seeing his opportunity he
let go and crawled under the rails. In
vestigation proved that beyond a few
bruises and a missing gold ring Francis
was not much the worse for the trying
ordeal through which he had passed.

COOPER
ARRIVES In
ST. LOUIS
Unique Character Said TO Be
Wealthy Reaches Mound
{ ty

81. LOUIS, Jan. b.
l.. 7. Cooper, the man who has
created a sensation throughout the
East, and who is rapidly acquiring a
national reputation, arrived in 81.
Louis yesterday.
Cooper is president of the Cooper
Medicine Company, of Dayton. Ohio,
and has made a fortune within the
past few years estimated at several
millions, by the sale of two prepara-
tions, which are claimed TO be very
unusual, and which are said to ac-
complish remarkable results.
Cooper spends his time travelling
from city to city introducing these
remedies and in this manner he has
acquired the fortune he now pos
sesses.
Cooper Is said to be n very re-
markable character, and man with
eccentric ideas; one of his beliefs is
that certain part of his income
should be devoted to charitable
work, and he is said to give thou
sands of dollars to the poor in each
city that he visits.
His charitable work is original, as
he is continually devising new meth
ods of making money give the most
pleasure and relief possible.
The most remarkable feature OF
Cooper's work is what is known rs
HIS Three minute removal of deaf

in the past year he has appeared
nightly before large audiences and
offered to make any one hear within
less than three minutes, II they would

land and Louisville. and other cities,
seem to indicate that Cooper actu.
ally did as he claimed.
Each night he Is said to have re-
moved, before thousands of people,
cases of deafness In about three min
utes' time with one OF his prepara-
tlons. The accounts of his work APP
peared in ell the leading "dailles'
of the East. and people have focked
to him from all parts of the country.
The sale OF his preparation is said
TO reach enormous proportions with
in week after Cooper arrives in n
city. Whether he will be as success
full in st. Louis, as elsewhere re-
mains TO be seen.

Quincy Adams Sawyer.

At the Grand opera house tonight
will be seen that tremendously pop
ular rural play, Quincy Adams
Sawyer" which seems to be repeat
Ing everywhere its New York sue
cess at the Academy Of Music. IL
has many strong comedy features.
yet IL possesses touches of true
pathos which prove that author, pro-
ducer and the management have lab
ored with good results to appeal TO
the sentiment that is close TO the
surface to every theatre audience.
The surroundings, the mis-en-
scene of the last act. for instance,
are most effective in a novel, straking
and powerfully appealing way. The
rising curtain dlscloses the exterior
of a farmhouse. wrapped in the folds
of New England snow storm. A
moment is given to this picture, and
the front wall of the house disap-
pears and the action of the play
goes on within IT, The storm with
out is indicative of the stress within.
and the visual impression intensifies
sympathy with the tribulations OF the
characters. Hope blossoms into
fruition. as the actions proceeds, and
JOY succeeds grief.
When the story has come to it's
happy end. the family group, which
has been about the supper table, Joins
in singing the "Doxology," and an in
stant later the house exterior is
shown, bathed in soft moonlight.
The storm without has passed, as
has that within. and the smoke
which culs lazily from the chimney
betokens peace and comfort. These
contrasting scenes are most magnifi-
cent in symbolic beauty; like the ia
nous last scene" of "Shore Acres, :"
the last act of Quincy Adams Saw
yer" has moments which will be re-
membered long after reeollections of
the main story OF the play have
passed out of the mind.

Flood Causes Damage and
City is Without Lights

Work on the city water works sys-
tenn is progressing nicely, and the
well-borers are now down about 100
feet, having made quick work since
starting. II Is proposed to go at
least goo feet in order to get a good
flow If water. The council has not
yet decided what kind of a storage
system they will install, whether an
air pressure tank or an elevated
tank. The air pressure proposition
seems to meet with the most favor,
as the water can be kept in better
condition for domestic use.
The heavy rPins that prevailed in
this section last week caused the
Pudding river and the mill pond to
rise so rapidly that Thursday night
and early Friday morning the water
drove out all the inhabitants living
on the bottom lands. The Pudding
river rose seven feet In an hour, and
the volume of water in the mill
pond was so great that the big dam
there that Is used to store water for
the power for the electric light
plant went out at an early hour Fri
day morning. A number of logs that
were in the mill Sond went out In
the break in the dam. and are now
floating all over the bottoms. A
crew of 40 telephone men of the
Home Telephone company that was
camped on the bottoms had to hustle
about 10 O'Clock Thursday night to
get their camp and belongings onto
dry land. The water came with
such a rush that they had to aban-
don their cook car and leave II to the
mercy of the food. Coles sawmill 81

timers say the rapidity with which
the water rose is unparalleled in the
history of Aurora. Another big
raise Is expected today when the

DEPARTMENT
ADVOCATED
State is Losing a Large Amount of Rev
enue BY Defective Collection

per year for an, efficient man, aside
from his expenses.
There are scores of corporations,
building and constructing companies,
for instance, who come into the state
and engage in business temporarily
and get out again without having to
pay single cent license fee or filing
fee and they operate in direct COM
petition with other corporations who
comply honestly with the states law
and are entitled to every protection
It affords. Under the present law,
which is good one II properly en-
forced, there are many loop-holes
through which a delinquent corpo-
ration can escape without paying
back dues and the favorite one of
these is to ignore notification of such
delinquency until the time limit has
expired and their articles OF incor-
poratlon revoked and repealed, then
clear out in debt to the state from
500 to as high as $500 and more.
Practically all Of these corpora
tions have proprty of some kind I'm
the state. which, II there was
proper person to look after such
matters, could be siezed and confis-
Gated to liquidate the obligation.
Some corporations escape the vigil
of this department for two or three
years and when we do locate them
we collect a large sum of money from
them. We have collected from one
corporation alone for back filing and
license fees as high as sS3S in one
lump"
Another change in the law which
Secretary of State Dunbar. who Is
the prime instlgator OF the original
act, would have inaugurated Is that,
when any corporation fails to make
the required ANNUAL statement or
fails to pay the annual license fee
for period of more than 90 days
