CONGRESSMAN 70
SPEAK On HAWAII

That the visit of the Congression@
al party will bear fruit in more
ways than one is shown by the fol-
lowing letter which Secretary Wood
Of the Promotion Committee received
in the Thomas mail from Secretary
Phillips of the Mohonk Conference:
May 80, 1907.
Mr.. II. p. Wood, Secretary the Ho-
nolulu Chamber Of Commerce,
Honolulu Hawaii
Dear Mr.. Wood Your letter of
May 18th enclosing clipping from
the Honolulu Bulletin giving a list
of the United States congressman
now visiting Hawaii is just at hand.
/ thank you very much for this list
and shall appreciate anything you
may be able to do to interest any of
these Congressman or to encourage
them to attend the conference. All
CT them will be invited next fall and
some of them will be invited to
speak. If you have suggestions as to
the proper ones to approach for a
speech, such suggestions would be
welcome.
Your letter brings to mind the
tact that early in the present month
J received from you as Secretary OF
the Hawaii Promotion Committee a
most interesting and useful map
showing the position of Hawaii in
the Pacific. | am sorry that the
rush of work incident to the arbitra-
ton conference held last week
caused your letter to be sidetracked
and made the acknowledgment so
tardy. Please accept hearty thanks
for this map, which we are exceed
lngly glad to have for our office.
Very sincerely yours,
II. G. PHILLIPS,
Secretary.

meeting yesterday afternoon. Among
the matters taken up was that of Sc
curing another playground for the Pa
lama section Of the city, which was
placed in the hands of Mr. Rath, VINO

piece of property known as Mauna ka-
mala, which lies on the corner of King
street and the Asylum road on the
mauka side of the street, and to plant
it in grass and make it otherwise at
tractiVe as was done with the Bishop

ENTERTAINMENT FUND
BEING DIVIDED Up
HilO Gets Big Slice
Kauai Stands
Pat

IIilO hands in bill of $2,2S4.95
for entertaining the Congressional
party and still some bills to hear
from in the same town. Not a bill
has been sent in from Kauai against
the appropriation made for the en-
tertainment. Maui's bills amount to
$3.50, and only $12 for Kona.
When the delegation of Congress
men came ashore from the Buford it
stood the Territory $4,000. This
amount included all the expenses en-
route, including the stop in San
Francisco, which was of very short
duration.
The expense of their stay in Ho-
holulu proper, including Waikiki,
was 1921. This included the sup
plies that were taken by the party
on some of their trips to the other
Islands.
The bill for transportation be-
tween the Islands on special steam
els amounted to $2,4S9.50.
This gives total of $12, go.
There are still estimated bills of
$500 to $500 yet to come from Hilo
which will bring that city's claim
up to $2,700. This will leave in the
neighborhood Of $4,000 still uneX-
pended of the original appropriation
with which to entertain the expect
ed Congressman.
1t has been decided not to arrange
any program until the second party
has arrived.

INTERESTING POINTS FROM ADAMS COUNTY

EDITOR CENSOR: Since ! have re-
ceiyed number of letters from Vernon
county friends asking information, ]
beg to be allowed little space in your
valuable paper This may serve to an
swer the inquiries | have had concern
ing this country. Am very much pleas
ed with the country thus far, as the
land is very level and fertile. We
raise potatoes, corn, oats, wheat, buck
wheat and everything else that can be
grown in Vernon county. After max
ing careful examination of the soil
find that this sandy loan will raise to-
bacco. Myself and eleven other farm
ers will plant thIrty-six acres next year,
and if it proves success we may have
a warehouse next fall. We have ex-
cellent roads in this country, not rut
or hill to be found. We now have fine
sleighing and can stand on my front
porch and see a string of teams for a
mile east and then turn westward and
as far in that direction can see them
coming in, all laden with potatoes, hay,
cord wood, lumber, etc. Lumber of
ten or twelve feet in length, or less, is
laid crosswise on a rack and each load
looks like a moving house at a distance.
Land can be bought at from nine and
ten dollars up to sixty per acre. Some
sell on crop-payment plan, giving a
poor man a splendid chance to get a
home. Adams county is a stock and
dairy country. Feed is very cheap
hay three dollars per ton. ! butehered
five April pigs the first Of December
that dressed out two hundred and sixty
pounds each. Yours respectfully,

A shocking tragedy occurred at the
home Of Mrs. Sophia Hogan on Dutch
Ridge, last Thursday afternoon, when
her little grandson, the five-year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs Gus Swanson of
Pleasant Ridge, was accidentally shot
to death by his brother, aged ten.
While playing in the granary the boys
discovered a loaded shot gun, and the
elder one, thinking it unloaded, pointed
It at his brother and pulled the trigger.
The charge struck the victim in the
forehead tearing away a portion of
the skull and causing instant death.
Funeral services occurred Tuesday
afternoon, conducted by Rev. jacobson.
The stricken parents have the sylnpa-
thy of tbs entire community.
