TREE HACKED TO
LET kAH|L|S PASS

Judge Humphreys has fled suit in the
District Court against Road Supervisor
Thomas P. Cummins and his luna, Man
uel Mello, to recover 5000 damages. The
complaint alleges that plaintiff is the
owner of lot on Nuuanu avenue,
which he has occupied for many years
as homestead, "that at the time of
grievance in the complaint mentioned
there was growing on the sidewalk i'm
mediately in front of plaintiff s said
lot, with the permission of the Super
intendent of Public Works of the Ter.

great beauty, known as Poinciana regia,

ed much to the comfort and happiness
of plaintiff as the occupant thereof;

ly cut, hack and mutilate said tree, so
that the same was rendered wholly
worthless for the purpose of shade, or.
namentation or otherwise.
Judge Humphreys says his tree was
umbrella shaped, represented a growth
of twenty-five years, and was one of
the show trees of the avenue. He
states that it was cut (not trimmed)
the day before Prince David Is funeral,
so that the kahii bearers would not
be required to lower their plumes. He
says that the tree was so tall that it
did not in anywise afford an obstruc-
ton to the street, as covered vehicles
were accustomed to pass under the
tree with ease. Now that Improvement
associations are being formed and prop
erty owners are encouraged to plant
trees on the walks in front of their
property, it is important to know, says
the Judge, whether such trees may be
unnecessarily hacked by those claim
ing to exercise authority or whether
emotional considerations are superior to
the rights of property owner, or the
community in general.

Every shipment since then has been
fumigated in exactly the same way and
according to the very same formula.

There have been none rejected before,

reasons think it was more satisfac.

there, and by and under the direction
of the Board of Horticulture. The rea-
son for having it done here, as 1 was
given to understand, was that the Board
of Horticulture had got tired of doing
it. 1t can be readily understood that

ing insect pests with their natural
enemies, has been summarily discharg-
ed. In addition there has been in large
measure a reversal of the beneficial in
sect policy and return to the policy
of insecticides and sprays and other
similar measures.
There have been indications too, of
a policy of active hostility to fresh
fruits from other countries. The ba.
nanas from Central America have been
antagonized in various ways on the
theory, apparently, that being fresh
fruit they come into injurious compe,
tition with the fresh fruits of Cali
fornia.
The suggestion has been made that
perhaps the same spirit is at work
against the pineapples of Hawaii, as
being fresh fruit that interferes with
the fresh fruit products of California.

TOWN ILLUMINATED
BY C0LORED LIGHTS

The final test of the lights installed
for illumination purposes along the
streets was had last night and every
thing was found in order. The strings
of incandeseent lights on each side of
the principal streets leading to the
waterfront and through the business
portions of town add greatly to the
holiday aspect of the streets. With
the lights on the Young Hotel and
Capitol and the street lights all ablaze,
e most beautiful effect will be had.
Crowds of sightseers were out last
evening enjoying the lighting, and the
town took on quite metropolitan
aspect during the illumination.

BANANAS AND AVOCADO PEARS

Neither the Alameda nor the Hilo-
nian will carry large carGoeS of freight
on their voyages this week. Banana
shipments will be veV light. The ba-
mana market in San Francisco is very
bad just now, and the fleet coming
gives prospect of better market right
here. Tong Kee, the largest banana
shipper, says that his last shipments
have netted him very little, and n big
shipment of alligator pears by the last
steamer netred him just twenty-four
cents on several hundred dollars
worth.

TELL TIE TRUTH.

In view of the fact that the repre-.

right at the commencement of the
meeting of the Taft Republican club
Monday evening, 1t would be interest
ing to learn just how that graphic
description of the nights proceed

of Harry Days paper.
Only those who were actually pres
ent realize the spirit in which the
business of the evening was conduct

good deal more wildly enthusiastic :"

anything of the sort that has yet TAX

THE TRUST PROBLEM.

1t Is time to have 1t understood
that the creation of monopolistic
combinations does not depend on the
presence or absence of tariff, but
upon the existence of opportunities to
engross supplies or control the ma
chinery Of transportation or ex-
change. For instance, there is pro-
tective tariff on wool; but the bust
ness of wool growing cannot be mo-
nopolized, even though 1t is languish-
ing. For clear understanding of
the question it should be plainly re-
cognized that wherever through neg
lect or mal-administratio of the law
there is an opportunity to combine or
control either the sources of supply
or the means of production, or the
channels of transportation or ex-
change, there the combinations to
monopolize the given staple will
spring up. This Is inevitable If the
law does not correct or punish the Of
tense. There may be men too hon.
orable to share in such schemes, but
the dynamic force of the tendency
is seen in the fact that the people who
are willing to share In 1t can buy or
extinguish those who will not.

ROOSEVELT'S GREATNESS.

The recent message of the presi-
dent to congress has rekindled the
third term agitation. and has caused
a feeling akin to CONSERVATION in the
camps of the men who are candidates
for the position Mr.. Roosevelt now
occupies. for 1t is very evident that
there is very widespread sentiment
favoring his nomination at the Chi
cago convention. Congressman
French of Idaho is strong believer
in President Roosevelt, and in con-
venton recently came out unequiyoc-
ally for denomination for the presi-
dent In speaking of the matter he
said:
Il am in favor of President Roose
velt's policies, and | believe the con-
ditions in our country today are so
critical that only some one who can
be relied upon to carry out the Roose-
welt policies can bring the business
interests of the country into such har-
monious relations with the people
and their interests that the best good
for all will result. No one can be
relied upon to do this as well as the
president himself | believe the presi- |
dent is absolutely sincere in his de-
sire not to be renominated, but | be-
lieve that II he should be elected /
which Is foregone conclusion If he
is nominated, he would not and could I
not refuse to assume the duties of I
the presidency any more than he /
could have refused to serve in the
war with Spain had he been drafted
instead Of having volunteered. He
does not need to be candidate. He
does not need to accept nomination.
All he would need to do would be to
accept the presidency. 1t is not so
much question of who can lead the
republican party to victory next No
vember, There are four or five can
didates who could do that. 1t Is
question of the election to the presi-
dency of man who has the conf
dence of the people and who is doing
more than anyone else to solve the
greatest problems that have confront
ed the American people since the
days of the civil war"

CAlENA AND ANCHOR WORKING
Two Very Promising Properties in the
Burke District.


Work is progressing satisfactorily
at the Galena and Anchor properties
at Burke. Both are we'll equipped
and the indications in the Galena
shaft are particularly promising just
now. 1t is regarded by people who
are familiar with the workings as a
sure winner. Both these properties
are near the Hecla.
The Galena is owned by David
Holman of Spokane and a party of
Salt Lake associates. A shaft has
been sunk to depth of 200 feet and
a splendid showing of quartzite dis
covered. The shaft is just across the
canyon from the Hercules.
The Anchor is controlled by Evan
Evans of Spokane and Michael Maher
Of Burke. A tunnel has been run for
1000 feet and blind shaft has been
sunk for so feet. A fine grade of
quartzite has been encountered.
