BROWN OUT
OF THE Law


The government s.. about t1 force
former sheriff A. NJ. Brown out of proc-
ticing law into r1is.n- sheep. At least
Browns occupation .'l probably Doc
given as sheep raiser instead of 'at-
torney at law" should d suit lnal has
been Instituted against him by the
government be decided in favor of the
Territory. The suit, which Is brought
I'm equity, Is a bin for 4 specific per-
Torrance. Ii was begun this morning
by Deputy Attorney General f. w. Mil
verton ON behalf of j. w. Pratt as land
commissioner Of the Territory
The issue in question involves some
very fine sheep grazing lands near the
Parker ranch. The bill sets forth the
following facts: Some time fin Septem-
Der of 1904 application was made to the
land commissioner by \. A. Wilder i'm
behalf of Brown for the lease to about
$4,000 acres of the Kaohe ~ lands
which had been under lease to the HUI
muula Sheep Station. On December D.,
1904. Pratt advertised such sale and set
the sale for January OF the following
month. The sale, which was at auc-
| ton, was postponed until January 81
! 1905. At that sale A. NJ. Brown was
not present, but was represented by A.
! A. Wilder, his attorney. There was
much spirited bidding to secure the
lease. The land was at that time one
of the most valuable portions Of the
Parker ranch. as it carried with it ex-
tensfve water rights The lease which
was to be for 81 years from September
q, 1906, was offered at an upset renta
of 81, 500
Eben Low, ]. A. Magoon and Fred
Wundenberg representing other inter
ests endeavored to secure the lease o
the property, but Wilder saw all o
their raises and went them one bette
each time, with the result that thu
rental was knocked down TO him, 70
Brown, for $3.50. \ raise of $1,000 owe
the annual upset rental It was re
marked at the time that this renta
seemed much too high
According to the bill in equity, Prat
now claims that Brown has declined
and failed to enter into the fulfillmen
of the terms of the lease. On or abou
October 16, 1906, Pratt presented to tn
defendant a lease for Browns sigma
ture, but Brown declined to sign AM
has since declined to sign, although
the lease contains no terms to whicl
any protest was made.
The bill asks that Brown be directed
to fulfil the terms of his agreemen
with the government. or else that thu
plaintiff be granted such other relief
as the court may deem fit.

WHY SUPERVISORS
CUT APPROPRIATIONS
OLD BOARD HAD 100000 MORE TO
START on THOUGH ESTIMATE
Is SAME.

j. II. Fisher. Territorial Auditor has
made his estimate Of the county's share
of the taxes received during the year
1907. The county is to receive accord
ing to the estimate 100000 per month.
Last evening acting upon this es-
innate the county Board of Supervisors
cut many appropriations for the diff
ferent departments of the county gov
eminent. This caused some surprise
among the people in town who are fol-
lowing the matter closely for they
knew that the Auditor had made a
similar estimate a year ago and it had
not led the supervisors to cut down the
monthly running expenses.
The cut is explained by the fact that
when the old board started in a year
ago they had a balance on hand Of
$11SOOO from the year before and the
present Board only has about $4,000
left over.
This difference i'm the yearly balance
is explained by the fact that the county
was only run six months during 1905
and it received its share of the taxes
for the entire year less $125OO0 which
the Territory held out as its share of
the expenses Of the transfer. Thus
from a total Of S386,OOO the Supervisors

It to be McIlroy's chief ambition to get

McIlroy wanted TO go back to King

conducted him to the waterfront, using
enough persuasion to make their pro-

the chief, otherwise Taylor would not
have used so much strategy In Turing

HIS OWN PLANS
HARRY WEBB, ON LEAVE, DRAWS
PLANS WHICH WILL BE APP
PROVED BY HIS DEPARTMENT..

Harry Webb returned this morning
from Kona where he went some time
ago to prepare a set of plans Of the
Okolehao distillery which is to be built
at that place. Mr.. Webb mas the plans
completed and they will be submitted
to the owners Of the Plant who will
in turn submit them TO the Federal
Revenue officers in accordance with
the law.
The law is very strict upon the mat
ter of the plans. They must be exact,
showing each and every valve in the
distillery, for Uncle Sam gets $l.25 for
every gallon of the liquor distilled
There cannot be a change made in the
plan without drawing them all over
again, the law is so strict.
Mr. Webb is an employe of the IN
ternal Revanue Department, but was
chosen by the owners Of the plant to
draw the plans so there would be no
hitch as he thoroughly knew the law
on the matter. Mr. Webb secured a
leave Of absence from the department
and went 10 Kona. Now ne will sub
NIT the plans 10 the department where
Mr.. Webb may be called upon to ap-
prove his own plans.

During the first six months OF last
year although the estimate made by
the auditor was only for 100000 the
county actually received $4O,251.37 per
month. In July the estimate was re-
vised and reduced to a balance OF
$4,000 per MONTH The county ac-
tually received $34,7O7 90 on an average

Thomas A. Edison, the great A merican
inventor, says "Fully eighty per cent OF
the illness Of mankind comes from eating
improper food or too much food; people
are still inclined 10 over-indulge them
selves" This is where indig estion finds
it's beginning in nearly every case. The
stomach can do just so much work and
no moro, and when you overload it, or
when you eat the wrong kind of food the
digestive organs cannot possibly do the
work demanded OF them. 1t is at such
times that the stomach needs help; it
demands help; and warns you bv head
aches, belcbing, sour stomach, nausea
and indigestion. You should attend to
this at once by taking something that
will actually do the work for the stom-
ach. Kodol will do this. 1t is a COM
bination OF natural dlgestants and vege-
table acids and contains the same juices
found in healthy stomach. It is pleas
ant to take. 1t digests what you eat.
