crete industry, and knows il thorough
ly IN all OF its details. In addition to

where other building material is
scarce and high priced, Mrs. Bar.

Of education in the use OF cement
among the farmers. She urges that
concrete construction should be
adopted upon every farm At a re-
cent meeting Of the Texas Farmers
Congress she gave demonstration
in concrete block making and the
various uses to which the material
could be put upon the farm. She
delivered a lecture to the assembled
farmers, in which she. pointed out
that they could, with the exercise Of
proper energy, make farms and build
their own dwellings, barns, chicken
houses, fences and other improve
ments at far less cost than If stone
or lumber were used. She stated that
the necessary materials that enter in
to concrete construction are nearly
all found upon the farm, and that the
farmers themselves could do the
block making and the construction
work, thereby saving the expense that
would have to be borne il the work

SALE WAS HELD.

A lot owned by Akana, on River
street, was sold on Saturday at noon
by High Sheriff Henry, on an eXecu-
ton in favor of the City Mill Co. to
satisfy a claim of 1919. The sale came
near not coming off on scheduled time
owing to a wrangle among the attor-
neys of the interests represented. G.
w. Ashford, about an hour before the
time set for the sale, secured a stay
from Judge De Bolt on the grounds
that the levy had been made on the
real property when there was personal
property sufficient for the purpose. j..
A. MagoOn soon after produced returns
on former executions against Akana
showing that there was no personal
property owned by the defendant
which was available. He also secured
a hearing from Judge De Bolt, and the
court set aside his restraining order
for the reason that Mr.. Ashford had
neglected to file proper bond in hav-
ing the stay issued, The land was
then sold by the High Sheriff to c. X,
All for $780, subject to two mortgages.

ACTIVE CRATER
IN CASCADES
TELL OF A VOL
CANIC DISCOVERY ON SLOPE OF
MOUNT BAKER.

TACOMA, Wash, February 9-Pros-
pectors have discovered on the south
ern slope of Mount Baker, in the Cas-
cade range, a crater hitherto unknown
to white men, from which constantly
rise clouds of vapor and sulphur
fumes. Old Indians of Whatcom coun-
ty say this crater has been in slight
eruption since the days of their fore
fathers, several generations ago. About
the crater are several large heated
areas and extensive deposits of sui
phuT. No alarm is caused by the dis
covery as the steam and sulphur fumes
are likewise constantly arising from
the Mount Rainier crater further south
in the Cascade range.
At least one mountain climbing club
will ascend Mount Baker in July and
thoroughly investigate the new crater
and its sulphur deposits. Mount Baker
is known to the Indians as the great
white watcher, it is the most northern
mountain in the State, having an ele-
Vatio of 1880 feet above sea level.
It's sides are covered with glaciers
and snow fields. South of the main
summit is a lesser peak, near which is
the crater, found early last fall by
miners who kept the knowledge to
themselves until last week, when the
matter was brought to the attention
of the mountain climbing clubs.

TO FREE WADE.

Habeas corpus proceedings have been
again instituted in an effort to secure
the release of George wade, serving a
sentence Of 10 years for manslaughter
on May 18th, 1899, when he killed
William Gillespie on BOARD the s. S.
Australia as she was leaving this port.
The action is taken this time in the
United States District Court on the
grounds that the case comes under the
jurisdiction of the Federal courts,
whereas his trial was by the Terri
torial courts.
Wade was first tried and convicted
of murder in the second degree in the
Territorial Circuit Court, but later re-
leased on a habeas corpus writ from
Judge Robinson, on the grounds that
he had not been indicted by a grand
jury. He was tried again, and found
guilty of manslaughter on February 8,
1902.
The crime occurring in the harbor
or just outside, and on a vessel, it IS
held puts it under the jurisdiction OF
the United States. 1t is analogous to
the case of John Wynne, now under in
dictment in the U. S. District Court
for killing Third Assistant Engineer
McKnnon on board the S. S. Rosecrans
which at the time was moOred along
side a dock here in Honolulu.
