AN ACTIVE POMONA.
II Has a Legislative Committee That
Performs Important Public Service.

The legislative committee of Chau-
tauqua county Pomona is getting
ready for action. The membership of
this committee is constituted of one
member from each subordinate grange
in the county to be elected annually in
August. The duties of the committee
are to keep in communication with the
legislative committee of the state
grange and keep informed on all legis
lation of interest to the grange and
communicate such information to each
subordinate grange in the county. The
committee is to meet regularly at each
session of the Pomona. A Chautauqua
county newspaper refers to this COM
mittee "as body having power to
perform a distinct public service" We
believe 1t can be made the means of
accomplishing great good for the farm
ers' interests in ChautauQua county. A
like committee could well be organized
in other strong grange counties of the
state.

that her husband and Chinaman by
the name of All Fa were manufacture
ing the stuff another three miles up
the gulch.
The Sheriff, Tanaka and the inform
er trudged on and finally arrived at
the place designated. Akama was the
only one at home, however, and loudly
protested his innocence and ignorance
of any wrong doing. When he fancied
the police had an eye for the view and
nothing else he tried to empty bottle
behind the house. This he should not
have done, as the eagle eye of the
searehers was upon him and one Whit
at the stuff was enough to reveal the
name and quality of it.
The Sheriff ordered Tanaka to take
the man along, in order that he could
show them where the real source of
supply was located.
The captive didn It have much to say,
but the Sheriff found indistinet trace
of travel along the stream and follow
ed it until he came to where the gulch
divided. Here he asked the pake which
was the right and was told that the
left gulch was one leading to the place
in search. The Sheriff promptly con-
eluded that the one leading to the
right was the right one, and therefore
sent his two men and the pake up that
gulch, while he himself made some
accommodating in the other branch. All
of a sudden he heard a shout from his
men and soon after saw Akama, who
had succeeded in evading them, sneak
along the hillside evidently in the hope
of getting to the place in time to be
able to warn his booze supplier in
time. He hadn't counted on the Sher-
iff and his gun, however, and was very
much chagrined to find both of them in
his way.
Though unwilling, he was compelled
to go along with the men, who now
had no dlfncuIty IN seeing Ehat they
were on the right track, as ii bushes
were plentiful and lately cut. A little
farther up they discovered smoke is
suing from a small hut. Akama had
also seen the smoke and set up an un-

tion of warning his friend. The latter

DEMOCRATS BUSY
ON GARDEN ISLAND

The Democrats are gaining strength
on the Island of Kauai, according to
the following editorial warning from
the Garden Island, which says:
The business community is probably
thankful for every day that the begin
ming Of the actual campaign is de-
layed, but signs indicate that the day
of action is very close at hand if not
already begun.
So far the Democrats are the only
ones who have made any sign Of ac-
tivity here on Kauai. During last cam
paign the party had no organization
here. but it has evidently made up its
mind not to be caught in that pre-
dfcament again. When McClanahan
made his lightning campaign Of the
island, he didn't stop to do much or
ganizing, but he left the impression
among many Of the followers Of the
Home Rule banner that perhaps the
Democratic precinct lists offerei
shorter road to office and emoluments
than the ones that were graced by
their names, and these same ex-Home

FOOTPAD DROPS
TO THE POLICE.
Identified by Chinaman He Had
Left Bleeding in a
Ditch.

Police Officer A. &. Nawahi picked
lama Junction early yesterday morn
ing, the man being found in the ditch
bleeding freely from a cash in the
forehead. The officer called the am
bulance and had the man taken to the
Queens Hospital, where he gave his
name as Ii Chea.
His explanation of his condition
showed that he had been held up
by a footpad. He explained that
he was walking along the sidewalk,
minding his own business, when sud-
denly he was attacked by an unknown
man, supposed to be Porto Rican, and
thrown into the ditch, the fall split
ting his forehead The footpad, dur
ing the scuffle which preceded the fall,
demanded whatever money he had, but
ran away after the Chinaman had yell
ed for the police and called upon
everyone within earshot to g haul in -
before he was knocked out.
To the police yesterday morning he
described the Porto Rican who had as
saulted him and afterward identified
Francisco Cairo as the man, picking
him out from bunch of Porto Ricans
in tenement behind Joe Clark s old
joint: Cairo was put under arrest and
is now being held. He is an oldtime
jailbird and has been mixed up in sim
liar affairs before.

BY their power to the benefit Of the

Sheriff Rice came back from Koloa

fit, caught redhanded in Laval.
When the Sheriff was acting as peace
maker in Koloa district some time ago,
there was decided spirituous odor to
the several garrisons. He did not have
time to investigate the source OF the
supply at the time, but decided as soon
as opportunity occurred to look lit
tie into the matter. For that reason
he left man behind who was to lind
out all there was to know.
Tuesday the Sheriff received a mes
sage from his man that he had lot to
tell in the matter. Arrived at the

the following ad interim report of the
president and board of directors to the
stockholders, which explains also why
such report is now issued:
In submitting the following brief re-
port we beg to call your attention to
the fact that the Interstate Commerce
rules and regulations have been ex-
form to all their requirements the old
system of books of accounts were clos
ed on the 30th of June, 1907, and a new
set opened as of July 1st, 1907. The
system of keeping the accounts to
meet the requirements of the Interstate
Commerce Commission is made uni
form for all railroad companies
throughout the United States ami Its
Territories, and has caused so many
changes in the method of segregating
and keeping accounts as to render 1t
impossible to make comparative state
rnents of the new forms of accounts
with those of the old. The time for
closing the books for annual state
ments is also changed from the end
of calendar years to June 30th. The
books of your company for the new
fiscal year will therefore be closed
