We to carry them out.
Why Lay the Tax.

Again, l think l could prove to you
that there were more sheep on these
ranges during the year 1907 than there
ever was before it became a reserve;
that the grasses have proved them
selves just as good, if not better, than
they ever we're. Which makes me ask
one to pay a tax-of which but a small
per cen goes to the local community
on something that has always been
and would again become a total waste
were it not for the labor and the will
ing surrender of home comforts by the
sheep man? AS well put a tax on each
load of fertilizer used by the sugar
man on the sugar plantation, for is ii
not a fact that we need the wool and
meats that these sheep produce as
much as sugar, beef or pork?
Duty of the Government.
Then why should not the govern,
ment give as much light and help tc
this industry as it does the others:
After all, what matters whether it be
the sheep, COW or horse that gets the
grasses off the ranges, so long as they
do not destroy them, for much of this
grass, as it is situated today, could
help little more than it is now, to make
big cities, should the horse or COW
have it all? However, is it not a fact
that the sheep is a much needed com
modify, as well as the others, for If we
care to eat less meat, we had better
make the first cut on that four pounds
of beef before we start on that one
pound of mutton which the American
people are eating these days.
Too Much River-8ottom.
Again, l note, that the big outfit;
are much troubled because they have
so much river bottom, but, where, my
kind sir, do you suppose the little fe!
low would settle if all these big
ranches were thrown open? Would he
be likely to get out on a fiat ten mile;
from water? If so, how, may l ask
would he make a living? Would he
be able to go fifteen or twenty miles
and tap a stream with a ditch ant
bring water to his place? Should he
try, | believe, in most cases, before he
goes through he would not only be
leaving the state of Wyoming, but
our very planet.

Did you know you can now hear
William j. Bryan In your own home?
1t is a fact, for Thomas A. Edisons
inventive genius has brought 1t to
pass. Bryan himself made Edison
records of extracts from his ten best
speeches and they are now being
heard In the homes Of owners of Edi-
son monographs. They portray the
persuasive eloquence of the great Ne
braskan at it's very best and are SO
natural as to be instantly recognized
as the spoken words and voice of
Bryan. This means a great deal to
lovers of good speeches, for Bryan
has no superior as political orator
aud lecturer. The effect of these tab
loid photograph speeches is said to
be equal to a long speech FROM most
anyone else. SO carefully has MIR.
Bryan chosen the best things from
his best speeches for the reproduction.

How About That NatatoriuIn?
The well on the Colfax court house
square has been flowing salt water
and gas for several years and no
practical use has been made of it as
yet.
The town of Winfield has had it's
salt water and gas only half so long.
and yet it advertises it's salt water
bathing and health resort as "a natur-
al wonder. 1t has swimming pool
12x32 feet, 3h to 81 feet deep, and
hot and cold tub baths in rooms for
ladies and gentlemen. The water is
heated and the building lighted by
natural gas.
The enterprise of our Winfield
neighbors can befollowed with profit

The rain that fell in this section last
Monday and Tuesday was about the
hardest and longest continued we
have ever seen in midsummer. Red
river was falling fast at the time, but
it caused the water in the river t.
rise two feet or more before it began
to fall again. 1t did a great deal o
good in washing off the overfowee
regions and purifying the mucky soil
but it has retarded the planting thai

sECRE TARY MOIT-sM|TH
GOES To MAUI TO-DAY

Secretary E. A. Mott-Smith leaves
in the steamer Nevadan for Maui to-
day, intending to return in the Clau-
dine on Wednesday night. His errand
is to arrange the preliminaries of the
proposed land exchanges with the
Baldwin interests. The chief parcel of
land desired by the latter consists of
S76 acres at Omapio, running in a
sharp wedge shape into the plantation
of Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Co.
1t is right in line with the new Ha-
makua ditch--not to be confounded
with the ditch Of the same name on
Hawaii-and is fine cane land.
There is another fine tract of cane
land in the Napi1l region. at the north
west corner of the island, big enough
for 4 plantation and within the irri-
CATION system, which the Baldwins
want. In return for these lands they
are prepared to offer lands at Hama
kuapolxo, Paia. Kaheka, Kaluanui and
Kaupakalua, mainly in the Haiku Sec
tion, which are represented as first
class pineapple lands or suitable for
general agriculture.

RECKLESS BLASTING
At kAPAHULU ROAD

The blast that knocked out the house
electric lights in the Waia1ae section
on Friday night sent a huge spanel of
rock through the iron roof of the Hus-
tace-Peck Co.'s stone crushing mill,
which is about sixty feet high, max
ing a hole big enough for a mans body
to pass through. Fragments of rock
were also scattered over the road at
that point, where the Kapahulu road
joins Waialae road. Had a street car
been struck by the huge missile that
perforated the roof, grim tragedy
might have had to be reported. As
it was the lives of many people living
at that place, natives and Chinese. not
to mention those of any casual travel
ers upon the highway, were put in ex-
treme peril.

GLEN QU|NN's NARROW
ESCAPE FROM FIRE

Early last evening the house of Glenn
Quinn, in the Palolo valley, caught
fire and was burned to the ground
Mr.. Quinn was asleep at the time until
the bowling of his dog as the flames
reached the animal awakened him and
he got out just in time. The dog was
cremated. Mr.. Quinn saved only a
few books. His brother Tom, neigh
Dor, lost his house in the same way
last year.
The above details were telephoned
to the Advertiser by a. neighbor of Mr..
Quinn last night. Communication with
Quinn himself could not be had.
