RAILROAD LEASED PROPERTY AS
SESSED FOR LARGE SUM IS MOST
IMPORTANT APPEAL CASE.

A very important case is to come
before the Tax Appeal Court Monday
afternoon. 1t is one, if not the largest
appeal that will come up before that
court. The case is of the Oahu Rail-
way and Land Company. The com.
pany has leased from the Campbell Es-
tate 8,028 acres of land, that it has
subleased to the Eva Plantation. The
railway company made no return On
the property but the assessor slapped
or a valuation of s64O,35O. The case
will undoubtedly be carried to Wash
ington if adverse to the Railway Com
pany, as a large amount of money is
involved.
The only case to come before the
appeal court this afternoon, is the ap-
peal of the trustees of the S. G. Allen
Estate. relative to the valuation of a
one-ninth interest in the Pantheon
Saloon premises. The interest was re.
turned at s4,25O and the assessor raised
it to $6,5OO.

Wild DASH FOR.
ON BANK
HONOLULU IRON WORKS PAID
FOR STEAM RoLLER-REPKE
SENTATIVE MAKES SPEECH.

HILO, June lin reporting the
last meeting of the County Supervisors
the Hilo Tribune says:
1T was when the matter of the FL
nance Committees report came up
that things became interesting. Lurk-
ing in the background, like some un-
recognized Banquo, was Fuller, the
Iron Works man, from Honolulu. He
had a little bill for $S575 for a steam
roller which was delivered at MANU-
kona. The Finance Committees re-
port was cheerfully adopted and after
that adoption the Board started in to
consider it. This procedure is unusual
but it is not immoral.
Mr.. Fuller, the Iron Works man, was
invited to make a speech. And he
done it noble" He told the true
story of his past life and also Of the
past life of the Honolulu Iron Works.
1t was most affecting. The Honolulu
Iron Works he assured his listeners,
was one of the most virtuous organiza-
tions in the world. When the Homo
lulu Iron Works said that they would
deliver a roller, what did they deliver?
Why a roller of course, and unques-
tionably the rolliest kind of a roller
that ever rolled.
There was absolutely no answer to
his eloquence and the resolution which
had been passed regarding the nom
payment of the Iron Works bill was
reconsidered and rescinded. The re-
port OF the Finance Committee was
formally adopted and rumor has II
that Fuller, the Iron Works man, made
mad dash for the Auditors office
where he received a warrant for S3575
He then dashed madly towards the
bank and purchased a draft for the
amount mentioned.

ON
HAWAII
TWO SHOCKS FELT ON TUESDAY
MoRNING-LAsTED FOR 40 SEC
ONDS OR LONGER.

Two severe earth shocks were felt
on the Island of Hawaii on Tuesday
last, early in the morning.
Purser Friel Of the S. S. Mauna Loa,
which arrived early today from Ha-
wall and Maui ports, states that at
1874 o'clock in the morning of Tues
day last he was standing ashore at
Honuapo, with many others, when q
violent tremor was felt, the shake
continuing steadily for about 40 Sec
onds.
Those aboard the Mauna Loa, which
was loading sugar at the time, did moi
feel the shake and therefore wonder.
ed at the excitement manifested by
some of those at the landing. Every.
body on the wharf felt the shock and
several declared that it was the heav
lest they had felt on Hawaii.
At 4 o'clock, 26 minutes later, an.
other and almost as heavy shake was
experienced, lasting longer.
1t was learned later that the shocks
had been felt in Hilo, Kona and Wal
ohinu
A pretty scene was enjoyed follow.
ing heavy rain on the Kau side. A
long line of clouds of steam arost
from the last lava flow, the lava beins
still warm and the rain falling thereon
creating the steam clouds.

READY TO COOPERATE TO TEST
ACT WHICH GOVERNOR CARTER
REFUSED TO RECOGNIZE.

A letter has been received from the
Clerk of the County Of Hawaii advis-
ing the Oahu Board of Supervisors Of
the action of the Hawaii Board at its
last meeting, in reference to the dis
puted act by the Legislature relating
to the giving of half of the court costs,
license fees, etc, to the counties. The
Hawaii Supervisors inform oahu ina,
they are ready to cooperate in the
matter of testing the act, which the
Governor has refused to recognize, and
will bear their proportion of the cost
of fighting the case through the courts.
The act in question is the one which
the Legislature passed over the Gov
ernors veto, after the House had
first voted to sustain the veto, with
the understanding that the Governor
would sign a substitute measure, which
was sent TO him too late in the session
to escape the pocket veto. When 1t
became evident that the Executive had
no intention of signing either meas
ure, the House voted to reconsider It's
then Dy anotner vote passed II over
the veto. -,y4
Governor carter, supported Uy AT
torney GenTraI Peters, refuses TO av-
knowledge the validity of the act as
thus put through, and the Secretary
has refused to incorporate it with the
, other acts of the session. AS the bill
means a great deal to the counties, ac-
tion is to be begun in the courts to
compel the Secretary to publish the
act, and incidentally test its validity.
County Attorney Cathcart, who has
had the matter under consideration
for some weeks, will probably within
the next few days file the papers in
the suit against the Secretary, which
will open the matter, and lead to its
settlement.

plainly indicated that he was scared.
He declared that the Honomu lookup
was not in his department anyhow. He

Superintendent Of Public Works had
never paid any rent either.
"I will not assume any responsibility

The market for raw sugar:
Business of the week has been ex-

of both buyers and sellers to bring
about any change, either by pushing
sales or making lower bids.
'The change in quotations is only
slight, say from 392c. per lb. SO deg.
test to 3.9Oc. for spot and nearby su-
gars, at which there have been only
small transactions. The change in the
European beet sugar markets is even
less, the daily quotations of los. being
quite steadily maintained. By our ca
