LAND SALE
GOES Over
POSSIBLE CHANCE TO SELL PROP
ERTY AS A SITE FOR PROPOSED
CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL.

The sale of land in Pauoa under
foreclosure proceedings brought by
Sister Albertina, trustee for Stella X.
Cockett against d. Kawananakoa, ct
al, was postponed for two weeks by
order of Judge Robinson today. The
postponement was secured by &. w.
Ashford, attorney for the defendants,
although e. A. Douthitt, representing
the other side, opposed any further
delay.
This is the case that went ~ the
United States Supreme Court on ap-
peal and was recently decided in favor
of Sister Albertina The land to be
sold at auction today was the old At
kinsOn home consisting of 1.95 acres,
and another piece containing 15.17
acres. In support of the motion for a
continuance Ashford HAD w. w. Will
hanson, the broker and real estate
dealer, go on the witness stand. Will
hanson testified that A. S. Wilcox,
who has agreed to donate $4,000 for
a children's hospital, was most favSr-
! ably impressed with the Atkinson
home site for the hospital site, and
that a deal for the purchase of the
property at the rate of $4,000 an acre
was being negotiated. He felt reason
ably sure that the trustees of the hos
pital would agree on the purchase, as
! Mr.. Wilcox favored the site He could
not state positively that such sale
would be consummated, however, as
Mr.. Wilcox might favor another site
] that might be offered
Douthitt opposed the extension,
claiming that there had already been
too long a period elapse before the
settlement of the claim The court
said, however, that if there was a
probable purchaser, it would be bet
ter to allow the postponement. Ash
ford said that if the present postpone
ment were granted. that they would
not come in with any other motion
for a continuance. The motion TO de-
fer the sale until noon of July IS at
! the Judiciary Building was granted.

MAURICE BT OCK, MEMBER Or

VISITING HONOLULU.

general manager of the Anglo-Ameri-
can Crockery and Glassware Company,
of San Francisco, that Maurice Block,
a guest at the Moana Hotel in COM
pany with his wife, is of any especial
interest to the general public, but to
the average San Franciscan the name
means more than merely a name.
Maurice Block is a member of the
now famous San Francisco Grand Jury
through which the notorious boss
Abe Ruef and the Infamous Mayor Eu-
gene e. Schmitz, together with a score
of other boodlers of high and low de-
gree have come to grief in the past
six months. He is in Honolulu for a
brief rest, and incidentally to look af-
ter his business interests. Inasmuch
as twelve members are sufficient to
make a quorum, and there are nine
teen members on the jury, Mr.. Blocks
absence does not interfere with the
municipal housecleaning in San Fran
cisco which is still going on.
Mr. Block is pardonably proud OF
his connection with the inquistoria
body which has done work that has
opened the eyes of the whole coun.
try. Moreover he is proud of Sar
Francisco, and his chiefest concern is
in regard to the hard things that he
hears against her fair name.

Suit to recover $4OO so, with inter-

instituted by j. S. Ellis against j. c.
Cohen. The suit grows out of Cohen's
unsuccessful mainland tour with the
Royal Hawaiian Band" last year Ac-
Cording to the complaint Cohen en-
gagged Ellis at a weekly salary OF
$77 so, payable weekly. Ellis was to
be a singer and a musician with the
band. The total Indebtedness reached
the figure of $1,3OG .43 The statement
of payments made by Cohen, accord
ing to the complaint, tells mutely, but
eloquently, the story Of a barn storm
ing tour by the band. For the first
six weeks the $77. so per came as regu-
lar as clockwork. Then it dropped to

The best time for pruning apple
trees is on warm days from January
to Nav. More can be accomplished in
the longer days of March, April and
May, but many prefer to go through
the orchard on the crust of deep
snow. The time of year when the cut
is made has little effect on the readi-
ness with which the wound heals. but
more care is necessary to prevent in
jury to trees pruned when the wood Is
frozen. A wound made by removing
a limb heals best il the cut is made
close to the trunk or branch. A stub
two or three inches long does not heal,
and becomes lodging place for spores
Of fungi and bacteria, which cause de-
cay and death of the tree. The split
ting down of large limbs may often be
avoided when pruning by saving in
from the under side first; but in ev-
cry case see that the wound is left
clean and smooth. Wounds should be
covered Immediately with a coat of
paint. shellac or grating wax to keep
out the moisture and the spores before
mentioned.

THE PROGRESS OF THE CANA.
DIAN WEST.

Nearly 100000 of Increase I'm
Canadian immigration In 1905.
The progress of a new country cannot
be better ascertained than by noting
the increase of railroad mileage in its
transportation system, and judged by
this standard, the Canadian West leads
all the countries in the world during
the current year. Thirty years ago
there was not one hundred miles of
railroad west of the Great Lakes. and
very little prospect of a transconti-
mental route for many years to come,
but by the end of 1885 the Canadian
Pacific Railway was within measurable
distance of completion, and last year,
twenty years later, fully 5000 miles OF
railroad traversed the provinces of
Manitoba. Saskatchewan and Alberta.
In the past year the work of railroad
construction has been vigorously prose
cuted, and by the end of 1906, some
5000 miles of completed railroad has
been added, making a total of fully
1000 miles in the three great grain
producing provinces of Canada. Such
al increase in the transportation facili-
ties of the country is bound to make
good times not only in the districts
where the railroads are being built,
but throughout the entire west. Allow
ing $4,000 a mile for construction, the
sum Of S100,000,OO0 will be put in cir
culation, and this in Itself should cause
good times to prevail in a land where
work is plentiful, wages are high, and
the cost of living is moderate.
But the building of new railroads
through Western Canada means a
greater benefit to the country than
merely the money put in circulation by
the cost of construction. Additional
railway building means the Opening of
new agricultural districts and an addi-
tional area under crop, a largely in
creased output of grain to foreign mar
kets with consequent financial returns !;
the erection of elevators and the growth
of villages, towns and cities and every
thing else that makes for the progress
of national life and the opening up Of
additional thousands of free home
steads so extensively advertised by the
Canadian government agent. whose adj
dress appears elsewhere.
1t was stated on the floor OF the
Canadian Parliament recently by a
prominent representative that ten years
from now would see the bulk of the
population of Canada residing west Of
the Great Lakes, and if the work Of
railway building during the present
year is any criterion, the prophecy
made by the Canadian statesman may
be easily fulfilled inside of the time
stated. During the present year no less
than $4,000 persons have found homes
in the Canadian West, of whom 57,796
were Americans who have seen the
great possibilities of this new West,
and have decided to cast in their lot
with it. Certainly, our neighbor north
of the 10th parallel is making great
record. and deserves the success, that
appears to be coming its way.

Hot water to XIII Borers.

Water at temperature of from $50
to 140 degrees will kill most insects
and will not injure Vegetable life. Act
ing on the idea it has been suggested
that hot water be thrown up into the
tree, of somewhat higher temperature
than is needed. so as TO allow for ii TO
cool. The difficulty with this plan is
that the orifice where the borer enters
is so near the ground that the soil has
to be dug away to get under it. A
flexible wire can be inserted much
more easily than to force hot water
upward into the orifice the borer has
made. The wire will also more GER
tainiy do Its work and by having a
barb at the end the borer may be with
drawn. But there are many places
where the hot water insecticide may be
applied more easily and safely than
any other.
