Waubun Forum: Perhaps few
people here are aware of the fact that
another Mahuomen county has existed
in this state. About the time of
the Civil war the first Mahnomen
county was organized out OF territory
now included in the counties of
Sherburne. Benton. Isanti and Mile
Lacs. It was put out OF Business by
the courts Should that happen to
this county the chances are that no
other new county would venture to
use the name.

RAILROAD To OPEN
NEW kauai LANDS

LIHUE, June &C. n. Wilcox is ex-
tending the Grove Farm railroad so
that when completed the track will
reach as far as Gap.
Several years ago Mr.. Wilcox figured
on building the road and for that pur-
pose had surveys made and estimates
drawn. The line goes through a ccun-
try very much cut up by gulches and
the plan of the surveyor at that time
contemplated crossing them by bridges.
The estimate ran up in such high
figures that Mr.. Wilcox abandoned the
idea.
County Engineer Moragne, who has
been doing some very successful re-
grading of the county roads, attracted
the attention of Mr.. Wilcox, who asked
his advice and was told that he could
get a line that would do away with
all the bridges but one and that the
whole road would under such circum-
stances not cost more than what wculd
have been the expense of erecting foun-
dations for bridges on the old plan.
The plan is TO utilize the abundance
of water at the disposal of. Mr.. Wilcox
for the purpose of cutting through the
hills and filling the gulches along a
line that will present only a grade of
one and 0ne-ha!f per cent. for the
empty trains and one per cent. for
the loaded ones.
This work is now well under way
and several big cuts and fills have
already been made.
The whole road will probably take
a year in building and will open up a
large tract OF Mr.. wilcox's land for
and viii also afford easy

has begun a non irrigated plantation

GREAT ROAD
WORK ON kauai

LIHUE. June 6.-The work OF ma
cadamizing the road between Hama
pepe and waimea was completed last
Tuesday and the force and machinery
have been moved to Kalaheo. where
the good work will continue.
Anybody wondering what the county
is doing with the taxes it receives
ought to take trip over the Kauai
roads. Waimea district that always
was terror to those who were obliged
to use its highways has now become
the possessor of an unbroken stretch
Of automobile road seven miles In
length. All the old kinks and turnings
have either been abolished altogether
or have been Strengthened out so that
a driver can have a clear view of the
road. Only in two places are the old
rickety wooden bridges stlll left All
the others have been replaced by sub
stantial concrete bridges. The way
farer of former days. besides having
to wade through six inches of mud or
twelve inches OF dust. had grades to
climb of from eight to ten per cent;
especially We're the Hanapepe one and
the two leading into and out of Mahi-
nauli horse-breakers. These have been
brought down to a four per cent.
grade. so easy that any horse can trot
it and be as fresh when it gets TO the
top as II was at the foot.
In Kalaheo. where the matchmaking
force begins work on Monday, the road
has been transformed. The surveyor
who originally laid out that piece OF
road must have borne in mind that
the curved line is the line of beauty,
as he had made it succession of SEES,
and they were small SEES in the bar
gain, with sharp curves every few
feet. The new grade has got all the
distractions to a clear view of the
whole stretch removed and the sweep
is now continuous from the top to the
turn at the bottom of the hill.
The traveller still has a steep climb
to overcome in order to get out of Ha-
nalei. but once on the top he can
drive along at a trot right through
thS ulSbASt- Inc Iodu through lHIS
district used to kill more horses than
all the others taken together. 1t con-
sisted of an unbroken line of hills and
dales with slippery paths at an angle
of fifteen degrees or more. These are
all of the past now. and even the Mo-
loaa hills will soon be ancient history
The county is indebted to the Kilauea
plantation for the ease with which it
has been able to accomplish this work,
as that corporation has given County
Engineer Moragne all the surplus
water he could use for sluicing pur-
poses.

HOW THEY MARK FREIGHT FOR

did not know the right foot from
the left. The drill master found that
they knew the difference between hay
and straw and so tied whisps Of straw
about their left legs and hay about
their right legs. When he called for

what was asked for. Such a means of
Identification has been put into effect
by the Observation-Disclosures Steamship

Soon after the arrival of the first lot
of freight via the Isthmus route in

there were peculiar marks on the boxes
and packages coming from New York
No one ever took the trouble to find
out what these marks meant and the
