v TASTED GRAIN
Die kInson Grass-Fed
Steers Better than
Corn-Fed Cattle.

In Chicago last fall a bunch of corn
led Illinois cattle, a bunch of Iowa
cattle. also corn.fed. and a third bunch
from near Dickinson, which had never
tasted grain but were fattened solely on
the native grasses OF Western North
Dakota, were compared. All hands
agreed the Dickinson CRASHED cattle
were the best, a judgment which was
confirmed when the CRASHED cattle sold
higher than either of the others.

village is situated on the north bank of
the Heart river. at a point really pic
turesque, and in 1881 it was the terminus
of the Northern Pacific railway, being
known as Green River.
During the last year or two Gladstone
has been a distributing point for a por.

an unusual trade.
The homes of this village are very
neat, and as good as would be expected
in a much older portion of the state. The
residents are also taking pains with their
yards, setting trees. etc.
Gladstone has hotel, ! restaurant, {

A PICTURESQUE STORY

The big story sensation of the 70's, The Hidden Hand,' is a fascinating subject for the play writers. It has so much of real American charact CT, such a picturesque background, so much of the heartiest fun and comedy, and most important of all, such finely melodrama and romantic plot that it has few equals in it's amount of material for drama. A new play from the story will be at the Opera House, Prescott, Ark, Tues lay, November, 19. The author is an actor of note and dignified position in the pro- fession, Eugene Moore.

DOCTOR DEERf0OT
 AT OPERA HOUSE
Accompanied by Superb Com pdnY of Vaudeville Artists
 Will Remain Ten Days.

At the Opera House this week, Dr. William Deerfoot, with a superb troupe of vaudeville play CTS are entertaining Prescott s theatre gOers. Up to last night no charge of admission had been made the Doctor bearing all expenses merely to advertise his medicines. Tonight, however, each one will be charged the small sum of 10 cents. Judkins, the real, and who is the heavy man of the show, says that all wives may come, provided, how ever, that they be accompanied byEtheir husband or some one else's husband.
 Dr Deerfoot is a Cherokee Indian. a graduate of Carlisle, Pa, and on the streets wears citizens clothes but he hates tc do it. A per his way of recon ing he Is 18 years of age. He owns the show as well as a labo- tary at Hot Springs.
 He is here for advertising pur- poses, indicative of the fact, he has a display in this issue of the Picayune.
 The show they are presenting at the Opera House is moral and instructive, at least we have Billie's word for it, and he's branded Ain negro dialect work.

 Our attention has been called to a case that eminated from this office in which a boy of one of the routes has violated the postal laws by enclosing a letter in box or package which he mailed, on account of his ignor- ance he was excused, but this will not always be the case, and 1 want to call attention to the fact that 1t is a violation of the law to enclose a letter in a pack age to be sent through the mails unless you pay letter rates for 1t. This laws is being violated daily, through ignorance in most cases, but then ignorance of the law does not excuse anyone. Then why remain ignorant alWays;read and inform yourself. There are other laws pertaining to the post office department that are being violated daily from the same cause. For instance: it is a violation of the law to write a message on the margin of a news paper which you have sent through the mail, as it is also a violation to break the seal of a letter, paper or package that has been placed in your box by mis- take. be sure that it belongs to you before you break the seal. It is also a violation to take any piece of mail matter which has be n placed in your box through mistake, to your residence or place of business and keep 1t twenty-four hours before return ing it to the office, This applies to ratrons of the post office everywhere as we'll as rural routes.
 On our trip around Tuesday we found two potatoes Tn the mail box of Red Andrews ad- dressed to the carrier. Now someone would say that IS a small thing to write about, and it would be if these had happen ed to be small potatoes, But they were not, consider them pretty good size potatoes You can appreciate the immensltE oI these particular potatoes better when l tell you that a lady sec ing me with them asked '"hege did you gel those pumpkins.

GREAT FUTURE,
SAYS RoTHwELL,
FOR KOA WOOD

J. q. Rothwell, who has been visit
ing the mainland in the interests of
the Hawaiian Mahogany Lumber Co.
Rothwell anticipates bright pros.
poets for this enterprise. He has Wis.
tied the leading manufactures Of hard
wood lumber In Chicago, Grand Rap
Ids, Detroit, st. Louis and other hard
wood centers In the Middle West. and
II has been satisfactorily established
that koa possesses all the necessary
qualities for the manufacture OF high
class furniture and interior finish. Koa
makes veneer that cannot be excel
ed, and Rothwell is confident that 1t
will take a prominent place with the
highest grades Of other mahogany. He
reports great activity In the manufac.
ture Of furniture. and says the demand
for fine grade of hardwood for this
purpose is practically unlimited.

committee, who believe It IL an open
question just how much power these
County boards should be given by law
under the wording of the platform.
The proposed law to pass the water
works over to the County presents still
greater difficulties. Not only would
the measure probably encounter oppO.
sitiOn from the other Island delega
tons. but as the entire Territory IL
benefited by the revenue derived from
the water works. while II the proposed
law were passed. only the County OF
Oahu would be benefited. On the 9th.
er nand, In view Of the fact that Oahu
will lose much revenue by the pro
posed income tax law. It might be
considered only fair that she be given
| this sap as consolation.
The main question In regard to this
proposed act Is. however, In regard &c
Its constitutionality. Several eminent
legal lights have expressed their opin
ion that such an act would be uncon.
stitutional. Their point is that II
would be In violation of section 81 OF
the Organic Act, which says that all
public property coded to the United
States by the Republic Of Hawaii
shall be and remain In the posses
sion. use and control of the govern.
ment of the Territory OF Hawaii. and
shall be maintained, managed and
cared for by 1t. at Its own expense,
until otherwise provided for by Con
gress." etc. Il Is held that under this
section all that the Legislature could
do would be to pass concurrent res.
olution recommending the change
which should be sent on to Congress
to act on. The legal men also show
that the giving the water works over
to the County would be to diminish
the security which the Territory has
given for her bonds. and her earning
capacity, with which she has to pay
interest thereon. Others point ont
however. that the Counties have been
given the use Of road machinery ana
tools. which was In the same status as
the water works. and as consequence
the same kind of legislation could be
passed In regard to water works.
The primary law Is In the hands OF
f. Crawford OF the subcommittee, but
he has not drafted any proposed act.

TIcklisH POINTS
(Continued from Pace Ii

have been the main points on which
the subcommittee on legislation has
concentrated its attention, and these
points will probably be the ones with
which the Central Committee and the
Senators and Representatives.elc ct
will deal at the meeting next Monday
night.
One Of the most important Ut these
as far as the Counties are concerned IL
the proposed law to have the corpora
tons pay their income tax In the
County where their business Is locat,
ed. At present all the plantations, for
instance. are paying their income
taxes In Honolulu. where their places
of business are located. according to
their charters, even though all theii
property IL located In the other Coun
ties. This has been very profitable
Tor the County Of Oahu, as It has re
ceived Its half share of these taxes
but the other Counties lost correspon
dinghy. II will be remembered that
they fought In the courts to have
these taxes paid where the property
was located, but lost. Nov, al the
Legislature the other Counties viii
have their innings, and will undoubt
eddy see that the law making the In
tome taxes payable where the prop
erty Is located Is passed. or course
the passage Of this law will mean u
great loss In revenue for the County
Of Oahu, but as the members from tho
other Islands will combine. to pass the
law, which will be to their common
benefit. the members from Oahu will
have to let 1t pass.
The liquor law has been the subject
OF some discussion. II presents many
interesting points, of which the pro.
posed provision to exclude Orientals
as license holders Is the most inp0r-
tant. as It involves question of con
stitutionality. on which the entire law
might be invalidated. This point has
not been decided on by the committee
rs YET.
The law providing for County boards
Of education is another important
piece OF legislation which is being con
sider"d by the legislative sub-commit.
tee, The plank of the platform which
covers this point gives such boards
control, subject to the Board of Pub
lie Instruction. This expression Is
rather stamping the members OF the
