KOHALA DISTRICT
WEEKLY BUDGET

KOHALA, Mar. 8.-Last week news
kamaaina, Mrs. McDougail of South
Kona, at the ripe old age of 76. The
deceased lady had been a resident on
the islands since 1864, arriving at Ho-
nolulu with her husband, whose death
occurred some three years ago. At
ter a residence of some Is years in Ho-
nolulu, the McDouga1ls removed to Ko-
ma to engage in ranching and coffee
planting. Two sons, w. P. McDougall,
manager of Kohala Club and Trans
portation Co., and Geo. McDougall,
representing w. r. Castles interests
at South Kona, are left to mourn the
loss of an estimable mother.
A painful accident occurred at the
Union Mill Co. last Wednesday, where
by a Japanese named Ogata was bad
ly hurt. In going down an incline of
the road, driving a tandem of four
wagons of cane, the animal took
charge, and having no brakeman be
hind him, the Japanese was thrown to
the ground. When picked up he was
unconscious and only recovered his
senses after some ten or twelve hours
Drs. Bond and Miromiya were prompt
ly in attendance to render the neces-
sary medical assistance. AT latest the
patient was progressing slowly.
Most excellent work has been done
last week by Deputy Sheriff Lewis, in
holding up and examining all hacks
plying on the road between Mahuko-
ma and the district. The result of his
investigation has been that several
hacks today are out of commission, on
account of the unfortunate condition of
their horses 1t is to be hoped that
having started the good work, he will
it and also broaden the field
Of his examinations, not combining them

NEED Of RECORD
Of STATISTICS
Matter Recommended Seven
Years Ago Without
Result.

Editor Advertiser: Under the cap
ton, Compilation and Publication OF
Statistics the Minister of interior
made report to the Legislature of 1896
on a subject matter that should have
the earnest attention of all persons de-
string relia BILE information as to the
various operations of the government
the development of industries or any
other information usually CLEANED from
compilations of this character. 1 quote
from the report referred to as follows:
Amy person who attempts any sta
tistical work in this country, or to
draw conclusions from statistics
which he may obtain, Immediately
finds that there is a most lamentable
lack of material and systematic ar
rangement.
Satisfies are frequently invaluable
| in deciding public policy and directing
e. course Of action vitality affecting the
public welfare, as for example, Stats
tics affecting the Chinese question;
concerning the number and compensa-
ton OF laborers; concerning immigra-
ton, education, health, births and
deaths, taxation and twenty other diff
ferent things concerning which accurate
information is either not obtainable at
all, or is available only after laborious
and extended personal research.
almost every nation and colony now
keeps and publishes such statistics,
and 1 recommend that Bureau of
Statistics be established here, and that
a reasonable appropriation be made to
initiate the work.
Every statement made in 1890 can be
repeated with emphasis today. Every
bureau or office then is justified by ex-
listing conditions in the present. Every
benefit from such tabulation then
would be tenfold so today.
AS matter of fact, instead of
progress there has been an actual
lapse from the conditions then COM
planned of and we are more ignorant
Of matters that can only be judged by
the figures of successive years opera
lions than we We're in 1890.
1t is proper that the government
should take cognizance of the dearth
of statistics under existing conditions
and make an effort to inaugurate the
compilation of such for the general
welfare.
One economical plan for such in
auguration would be to increase the
pay of the keeper of Archives and add
to his duties the work herein outlined.
The writer has been seeking informa-
ton from several departments of the
government during the past three
weeks and finds it a great waste of
time and considerable disturbance to
the routine of offices to seek the data
suggestions herein made
being solely in the public interest and
for the purpose of securing a tabula-
ton of the results of operations that
will otherwise be a total loss

BURNS MANUSCRIPT FOR SALE

LONDON, March IA manuscript
of Burns's Scots Wha Haze wi Wal
lace Bled" will be sold at auction at
Sothebys on March 16 Probably more
than one manuscript of the famous
poem is extant. The poet frequently
sent friends autograph copies of his
own writings.
The present copy, however, is believ-
ed to be unique in respect of having
a note appended giving the source of
the inspiration of the idea contained
in the last stanza. This, Burns says,
he borrowed from al couplet worthy of
Homer in modernized copy of his
tory of Wallace.
This is the last stanza of the poem:
Lay the proud usurpers low!
Tyrants fall in every foei
Liberty's in every blow
Let us do or die!

to whether certain immigrants who

legally in this country.
The opinion in effect is that the i'm

to the United States and that hey are
in this country legally. This opinion
agrees with that rendered upon the
same case by Solicitor Early of the de-
partment of commerce and labor.
