forward to this evening for over a
month!
1t is doubtful if, even now, he could
tell much about his trip from the cap
tain's room to the Baker cottage He
ran most of the way. Over and over
again he reproached himself for his
forgetfulness. Gus had called him
neglectful and selfish once before.

But whatever he may have expected
to hear when that door opened, what
he did hear was certainly a distinct
surprise. Grandmother Baker, her

and said:

They talked for few minutes lNne

two trains started. Bradley leaned
back in his seat in the smoker and
meditated. Somehow conversation
with Sam always made him "blue. z
He wished the fellow was not going
to Orham.
Next morning. bright and early, he
walked into the local kings Office.
An important young man with pen
behind his ear disdained to notice him.
who'd you wish to see?' he asked
after dignified interval.
"Mr. Cook-the older one, answered
Bradley.
Hes busy now: likely to be busy
all the morning What do you want to
see him for? Won't do?'
Don't know. I'm sure" replied the
wrecker gravely. "I'll speak to Mr.
Cook about it, You see, he was the
one that sent for me, so''-
HE sent for you. Oh, excuse me-
wish you'd said so sooner. Sit down
please. What name, sir?'
"Nickerson, sir"
The young man. much less impor-

turned at once.
"NIr. Cook ii see you, sir" he said
opening the gate. "Step right into his

The great Mr.. Cook was seated be

ooh, you'll get it. I'd be willing to

WIN. F. sHATTUcK DEAD.

San Francisco papers report the
death, November 2, at his home, 1924
Clay street, Oakland, California, of Will
liam F., Shattuck, elder of the we'll
known firm of Shattuck Bros, owners
of the Pacific States Type Foundry,
San Francisco. In former years Mr..
Shattuck was a visitor to Honolulu.
For many years past ne has been very
much of an invalid, but nevertheless
gave much of his time and attention
to the type foundry, which business
was established originally by Nelson
Hawks, who afterwards took the Shat
tucks into partnership and they, after
time, purchased Mr.. Hawks interest
and conducted the business under the
name of the Pacific States Type
Foundry.
Many people in Honolulu viii remem-
Der the late Mr.. Shattuck as one of
the most gentlemanly and upright of
business men. He was the son of the
late F. w. shattuek, one of the judges
of Sonoma in early daye, and grand
son of d. o. Shattuek, first Judge Of
the old District Court of San Francisco.

SMALL DAMAG[
TO BREAKWAT[R

! Walter F. Dillingham;, % the Ha-
waiian Dredging Company. returned
recently from KahuiuI, where he went
to look over the damage done to the
breakwater being built at that port by
the heavy sea last week. While there
was considerable harm done. he states
that nothing serious occurred and the
entire work there should be completed
by the middle of December. In speak
ing Of the breakwater yesterday he
said:
THE damage was caused by a very
heavy swell, which was not accom-
panied by any wind to speak of. It
washed about $50 feet of the outer end
Of the breakwater. at the point where
where the dome was to be, down to
the level of the sea and destroyed two
trestles inside, one 400 feet in length
and the other, and outer, 1850 feet long,
There was no damage done whichscan-
not be readily repaired. The inner end
of the structure was not damaged at
all, the water seeping through the
coral and losing it's strength.
"A small breakwater has been con-
structed temporarily on the opposite
side which defects the current coming
from the beach on the Waikiki side
and will keep the basin from filing up
with sand. The basin itself has been
dredged down to depth in practically
every portion. except near the outer
edge. where there are about 5000 yards
more of material to be moved. This
is being worked on at the present
time. The material which has been TAX
en- up has been used to reinforce the
inner portion Of the breakwater, and.
as it is about IS per cent loose coral.
makes excellent material for this work
In this way the breakwater is from
400 to 900 feet in width at the inner
sections.
''At the outer edge, where most OF
the damage occurred. our plan has
been to place large concrete blocks,
Weighing from five to six tons apiece
and this will be followed out. The
water at this point is forty feet deep.
LAS soon as we have completed the
work at Kahului we will move our en-
tire plant down to Honolulu. and start
in the big contract which we have
taken here. The Nevadan will prob
ably bring down the heavy parts OF
the plant which would be too much
for the Inter-island steamers to carry.
We expect to begin the work of dredg-
ing in this harbor by the first of the
year."

THE TERRITORY
WILL Be SHORT

Acting Governor Mott-Smith is
working on a problem something like
adding four and four and making nine
or eleven as the sum. 1t is a task
that will last after Governor Frear
returns from Washington-in fact,
until June 30. 1909, unless the Legis-
lature of that summer cuts the Cor
dian knot a little sooner.
Appropriations are in excess Of
available funds under both the old
loan account and the current revenues.
The deficiency in the matter of I'M
expended loan balances from the 1905
period is s1s,1s4, and probable current
revenue will likely fall s150,000 short
of meeting the appropriations against
that source.
Therefore it comes about that the
executive has to do some figuring. A
little will have to be taxea out Of
the collar, a strip off the tail, a snip
from the pocket flaps, of the coat to
make it somewhat Of a presentable
garment, the web of cloth being so
limited in length and width.
Act "a of 1907 provides $4,000 for
the College of Agriculture and Me-
chanic Arts, now happily in course OF
being established. This money was
appropriated out of any unexpended
balance of the loan fund of 1905.
Act 135 of 1907 appropriates items
as follows, from the fund just men
toned, for the purposes stated:
Kalawao and Kalaupapa water
works, $4,000.
Pail road, Kalaupapa, $1,000.
Home for non-leprous male children
of leprous parents, $4,000.
Educational buildings, Oahu, $685.
1875.
Completion of Kalihi-waena school,
Oahu, $500.
Courthouse, Kailua, Hawaii, $4,000.
Courthouse, Waikiki, Maui, $4,000.
Waimea water works, $500.
All of which makes a total Of $134.-
1875, being an excess over the
amount available of sixteen thousand
and odd dollars, as already stated.
with regard to the amount of APP
preparations under the new loan bill,
we have the money for that" Mr..
Mott-Smith said yesterday. 1T is
s2s70O0.
Current account expenditures are
entirely estimated" the Acting Gov
ernor went on to say.
"Quite hole was made in antici-
pated current revenue by the transfer
of half the license fees to the coun- |
ties. 1t makes difference of over
5000, 900 to the Territory.
THE probable deficiency from ap-
up to June 80, 1909, will
be about s15O,O00. This is including
the snug cash balance carried over
from last period. If we depended
solely on the revenue of the current
period we would be quite largely in
4 hole.
What we are endeavoring to do is
so to arrange expenditures that we
;hall not in any one month go behind"

HEADLESs CORPSE FOUND
IN THE LANTANA

A headless body of a man, unrecog-
nizable, was the gruesome find made
on Friday last by Japanese laborers
cutting lantana in a gulch between Aiea
and Waipahu. The particulars of the
discovery and of the mystery in con-
nection with the headless corpse have
not been brought to the attention of
the Honolulu police, all that is known
of the matter being an account of the
find given in one of the Japanese papers
yesterday.
This account states that the body
was badly decomposed, being impossi-
bic of recognition. 1t is that, evident
ly, of common laborer. The clothing
on the body consisted only of an I'M
dershirt and a pair of blue overalls.
In the pocket of the overalls was fifty
cent piece, watch chain, but no watch,
and nothing else that might furnish a
clue to either the identity of the dead
man or to the perpetrators of what
seems to be murder Even the nation
atty of the man can not be determin-
ed, so badly. decomposed and discolored
is the flesh.

account states that the plantation au-

TAX DECISION

By the following decision the Su-
preme Court settles an important ques-
tion as to the scope of the law ex-
empting pineapple land from taxation.
1t shows the distinction that exists be-
tween the respective interests of the
lessor and the lessee of such land. In
this case the lessor, who resisted taxa
ton. had not shown that his interest
was actually in use for the production
of pineapples. Therefore it was taxa
bile. This is the decision:

of November 18th in re rule of the

the rule of the road is covered by
the following section: ANY driver of

with reference to your statement
that the officer who requested YOU to
keep to the right of the road, had es-
tablished himself at a point on the
Waikiki road where all vehicles travel
IN the makai side, ETC., 1 beg to state
hat this officer was stationed by Mr..
Taylor, Chief of Detectives, at that
POINT, being the junction of Waikiki
Dad and the John Ena road. Conn

airy for the safety of all concerned
hat the rule of the road should be
trictly observed there, at least.
Il wish to state in this connection
hat 1t is the purpose of this depart
