LOCAL OPTION
AND ITS DEFEAT
Well Discussed in the Regular
Monthly Meeting of the
w. C. T. u.

The ". G IT. L. held its regular
monthly meeting on Tuesday aLl1f-
noon. The regular order Of business
was shortened a $ much as possible that
the time might be given 10 the DIS
cuss.on of the failure Of the Local op-
ton bill. This has been a keen dis
APPOINTMENT TO the temperance elenshr
in Honolulu and the causes Of the faii+
IRE were pretty well canvassed in he
course Of the meeting. The princ1pai
address was delivered by Rev. N d
Nestervelt. who has worked perse tsT-
ingIv for the bill ever since the zesi7-
lature convened During the discus
sion of the measure in the lower house
close watch had been kept on every
movement that might be considered
favorable to the liquor interests There
was such apparent friend mess toward
it in the senate that the promoters &
the bill were deceived, and s,.a'ssF hat
relaxed their vigilance. There is not
much doubt but that had the same tao
tics been pursued throughout, the blll
would have passed triumphantly.
I'd to the last this seemed an assured
fact, which made the disappointment
all the keener when it came.
Mr. Westeryelt was not dishearfened,
however, and in reviewing the EFFORTS
made to secure the passage of the Din
lust defeated. 1t was recalled that IN
1891. when it was first talked of, good
deal of hard work had to be done IN
educating the public as 10 the purpose
and intent Of local option. Few knew
what Il really was, or had any COM
nrehension Of its workings where it had
been adopted The whole community
had 10 be enlightened. AT that time
the legislature would not consider It
even to the extent of giving its adVo-
Gates a hearing In 1885 there was a
marked advance, and from that time
each .year. has shown that some ground
has been gained.
The reason given for the failure OF
the bill on the part OF those VINO, II was
believed would support it and did not
was that local option Is practically pro-
yidted for in the statute already in ex~
isfenee This, II is argued, places the
granting or refusal OF licenses in the
hands of property holders living in the
nefghborhood where it is proposed TO
establish a saloon But il is hedged
about with such difficulties as TO make
1t often imperative The bill, which
is pending. TO remodel the whole liquor
license system. II IS also promised viii
effect in It's actual workings, practica1
local option. The temperance leaders
do not believe this, knowing the OBJ
stacles that viii be thrown In their
way through the possible interpre1a~
lions of the new law, should il be
adopted But even this is by no means
certain, every influence being brought
to bear against il TO compass It's de-

RAISE FREIGHT RATES

There Is strong probability that
on June l, 1907, higher freight rates
viii take effect between Pacific coast
ports and the Orient It Is said that
rates at present on regular liners
should be advanced 80 cents to 81 per
ton Shipowners contend that tramp
steamers are getting the cream Of the
business and charging fully as high
tariff as they. A conference at which
the companies operating regular lines
will be represented win be held Nay
81, when the question Of advancing
rates viii be taken up. Business with
the Orient has made rapid growth,
particularly up North, where heavy
shipments of wheat and -four are
being made. The increase calls into
service tramp steamers, which get the
highest rates prevailing. According to
Oregon advices they have been cut
ting into the business heretofore han
died by the regular liners 10 no small
extent. Unless something is soon done
it's feared the tramp owners viii be
in a position to make even greater
profits, as there are no indications of
falling of in the Oriental trade.
With this the situation the agents; up
North Of the regular liners say the
operators of tramps win continue to
reap big profits. while their own ves-
sells are not much more than paying
expenses. When any of the regular
companies are in need of additional
tonnage TO assist their feet in taking
care Of the business it IS said to be
impossible to charter tramp unless
an exorbitant rate is paid.
The Portland & Asiatic Steamship
Company is In need of othel freight
ers, but It is claimed they can not be
engaged at anything ike reason
able figure. The space on all its
steamers scheduled TO sail as late as in
July has been engaged To take care
OF any additional business il viii be
necessary for the company TO charter
framps and lose money on the tran
saetion at the way the craft are be-
ing placed al present

Deafness Cannot be cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachain Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound of imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deaf
mes is the result, and unless the in
Illumination can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal cond1-
ton, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
infamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

We USE LOTS GOOD WAFER
Daily Consumption for Every Man, Woman and Child in
Americas is SO Gallons,

Do you know that there are thirty
nine gallons of water consumed in
Americas every day for every man,
woman, child and baby in the city, esti-
mating that the total population, white
and colored, is twelve thousand.
Over fourteen thousand gallons OF
water are pumped every year for every
person in Americas, regardless of age,
or color, or condition.
Inasmuch as the average person
probably does not drink over quart
of water day, this allows a liberal
supply for bathing and cooking pur-
poses, even admitting that the Sea-
board shops and some of the other
manufacturing industries do use lot.
Bathing uses up good deal of course.
1t takes quite a number of gallons to
half fill the ordinary bath tub, and
with hundreds of bath tubs filling up
every day, and some of them several
times a day, untold thousands of gal
Ions of good artesian and spring water
go towards keeping the populace clean.
When you think about it, though,
there is a big lot of water used here.
Last year-that is from June 80, 1905.
to the same date 19O6,-the total pump
age of the water works was nearly one
hundred and seventy one million gal
Ions of water. To be exact, for exact
ness is a good quality to cultivate, the
figures were 1926, 200.
Old Noah might have floated his ark
long distance on body of water hold
ing that quantity, watered the stock in
the ark, and had no trouble in keeping
all the fish alive.
1t cost the city of Americas just four
cents a thousand gallons to produce
that water, that is, to pay all the ex-
penses attendant on getting it to the
consumer.

OTHER TROUBLES FOR BETHESDA
Split Occurs on Charges Against
Pastor,

The waters that surged about Bethes-
da church yesterday were both muddy
and excited as the result of a meeting
the night before in which the church
membership rallied almost to a man.
Charges had been preferred against
heated discussion the vote taken was
said to have been SO to % and against
him. Police Chief Feagin and Officer
Willis attended the session as a safety
valve, but there was no disturbance.
The outcome of the trouble is yet to be
seen butin the meantime Bethesda is
in the Iimelight.
