Une Mutt d'Hiver

Ce soir le vent du nord rebuilt la neige en- poudre
Qui vole en- tourbillons dams les chemns glac6s.
LIE Vent soufae, ct sa voix gronde CONNIE la foudre
Qui moissonne les rangs des bataillons presses.
La une pale ct trlste, et6 sur la terre
On regard dod le peur ]aillissait longs fots
Et, le front CENT dun voiIe fiui carri6re
CONNIE cygne mourant qui content ses sanglots
Dams la mutt sombre ct froide entend la clochette
Du tra1neau qui s'enfuit CONNIE feullle vent
LIE fer courser sagite, ct Sc fend, ct se jette
Dams lie chemin poudreux ct le focon mouvant.
Lair glacial est pur ct dome de la force:
LIE poumon dilate ct Iartere semplt
Sous le noir aquilon qui fouette le Torso
Et don't la voix endort les ruisseaux ct leur lit.
Mais Ihiver est trop long dams immenses plalnes
Recouvertes de neige Oh glisse le traneau,
Et rop courts son les mois Oh chantent fontaines
Qui baignent le gazon sur lie fanc du coteau.
Les dessins r6guliers du givre nos fenetres
Remplacalt lan6mone ct le iasmlns feurs,
Et les cerges de gace grands des h6tres
Velllent dams leur doueur, sur les nids debris.
II faut au coeur human, un ba1ser sourire
LIE chant du rosslgnol sous les cieux 6toll6s
LIE sourire des feurs, le baser du zephire:
II ui faut le rayon qui brille front des bl6s.
IL faut au cour human, In joie ct la lumiere
Don't ]ouit la nature la saison des feurs
II lui faut le rayon qui s6che la paupiere
Et e baume ct le chant qul calment les douleurs.
Et recouvert de tieurs don't le rarfum pembanme,
Et berce par le chant des nlds dams les buissons,
LIE coeur rend grace Dieu, meme labri du chaume,
Et ses reves sont doux ct bellies, ses chansons.

PACKARD FREED.
Mexican Supreme Court Reverses En.
 sensda Doeberry and Ends Case.

The Supreme Court of the Republic of Mexico has reversed the decisiCl of the federal court at Ensenada, which decided that J. H. Packard, British vice consul at that place, was guilty of robbery and which desired to infict on him a sentence of twelve years imprisonment.
 Mir. Packard was formerly the gel eral manager of the Lower California Development Company, and to protect the company he seized quantity of grain sufficient to cover a loan made to the grower The debtor caused Packard's arrest, and a Mexican Dog berry at Ensenada soaked" him for twelve years.
 The decision of the Supreme Court reverses the decisions of two lower courts and orders that the case against Mir. Packard be dismissed. This has been done in Ensenada and the case is now ended.

IRRreArE THE SEEDS.

Crop Expert Cadwallader of Crutch- field & Woolfolk, is sending out to cantaloupe growers the following note of advice:
 q wish to call your attention to the fact that great many of the canta- loupe growers are making a mistake by not having the moisture reach the seed in their first irrigation. I would advise you to examine your fields very closely and if you find your seed are in dry soil, start the second irrigation at once, as 1t Is absolutely necessary that the moisture should reach every seed to insure perfect and uniform stand"

FREE FROM PARTY POLITICS.

The various towns of Imperial Val ley which are just experiencing the throes of becoming incorporated as full-fledged cities have shown the good Judgment to keep their city elections freed from party politics, and to se- cure nominations for city officers at general caucuses in which all citizens were invited to participate. Party lines in. city polltics-especially in their formative .perfoG-can well De overlooked, and voters can afford to unite on the men who will give their towns the best and most business like administration, regardless of their views on National or State questions. -Brawley News.

PROGRESS ON YUMA PROJECT.

Francis l.. Sellew, engineer on the Yuma Reclamation Project, says that probably within eighteen months the completion of Laguna Dam will make it possible to irrigate the Yuma Indian Reservation, on the California side of the Colorado river, and that the Gov ernment is now irrigating about 5000 acres of this land by pumping directly from the river. Another pump is to be installed this season, so that tenn porary irrigation will be supplied to at least 10000 acres.

FRAUD CHARGES FICTITIOUS
Imperial Valley Investigation to 5e
 Closed by Government.

Tracy c. Becker, special assistant to Atty. Gen. Bonaparte, is in Los Angeles. While the principal objeCJ of Becker's visit, says The Times. is to appear for the government on eX tradition proceedings against local men, alleged to be implicated in the Oregon land frauds, it is understOo that he will take hand in the in vestigation of rebates, and will also close the Imperial Valley land-frqud investigation.
 Supposed irregularities in obtaining title to portions of the Imperial dis trict have been looked into by the Commissioner of the General Land Ofice, and, according to reports from Washington, little dishonesty was dis. covered. Rulings by Commissioner Ballinger concerning assignments of desert land entries and the clearing of the various complications in the local land office by Gen. Frank C.. Prescott, have apparently made fur ther federal action unnecessary. But while here Becker will, no doubt, sat isfy himself that there is no longer any ground for government prosecu. tions.

OIL LOCATIONS.

Considerable difficulty has been ex- perienced by oil locators on account of the law which requires discovery of oil before claims can be located. Congressman Smith aims to meet this by allowing land to be entered at a land office and giving five years in which to demonstrate the presence of oil. The Secretary of the Interior after rejecting the bill, has announced that on further consideration he thinks it meets a difficult situation and that he will indorse it.

prohibiting such a building within 500

building is across the street from the

meeting of some of the members
of the Kaahumanu club was held last
night, at which plans for carrying on
the fight were discussed. Already a
lot of members of the coming legisla-
ture have expressed themselves as
strongly favoring a law which will
eliminate such camps from the resi-
dence sections of the city, and it is
practically certain that there will be
"a stringent law on the subject.
The Civic Federation will also take
the matter up, it is said. 1t is stated
on reliable authority that some Of the
scattered undesirables of Iwilei are in
some of these camps carrying on their
old practices, and this is a feature OF
the problem that will receive atten-
ton.
The above list of licensed tenements
shows that nearly all the places are
Japanese. This, however, is because
most of the servant and laboring class
inhabiting such camps is Japanese,
and the improvement club members
disclaim any intention to protest be-
cause Of the camps being Japanese.
1--WE would make exactly the same
fight" said one of the leaders of the
movement to abolish the camps, 'if a
similar camp of whites, or Chinese. or
any other race, were started. Such
tenements do not belong in a resi-
dence district. Other cities do not toll
crate them and neither should Homo
lulu"

LEGAL ADOPTION TO FOLLOW
HARvEY's VICTORY IN RECENT
HABEAS CORPUS CASE.

The final steps in the suit brought
by Mercedes Briggs against Frank
Harvey will probably be completed to-
morrow morning, when the petition OF
Flora Harvey that she be permitted
to adopt the little seven year old girl
whom she has cared for during the
past four years, will be heard by Judge
De Bolt. That the petition will be
granted is certain, for the hearing of
the habeas corpus suit brought by the
girls mother settled the fact that the
child was far better off in the Har-
vey family than with its parent, who
left her in a vacant lot Immediately
after birth.
When Miss Harvey was on the wit
ness stand during the hearing of the
habeas corpus proceedings she testi-
fled that she wished to adopt little
Elizabeth Harvey, as the child is call
ed, and was willing that the little one
should inherit any property she might
have in case of her death. The spirit
shown by Frank Harvey and his
daughter in the matter has made them
very many friends.

There were about $50 men in at

An elegant repast from the Alexander

in the chair.
I Dr. Scudder briefly explained the
purposes of the League for the bene-
fit of those not present at the first

sections made reports of excellent pro-
gress.
After the meeting a moving picture

HONGKONG HELD
BY HEAVY SEAS

The Togo Kisen Kaisha S S. Hong
kong Maru arrived from San Fran
cisco this morning about twenty-four
hours behind time according to ex-
pectations. but on time according to
schedule. She got into the teeth of
heavy head blow, which somewhat
delayed her, but that was not alto
late. 1t seems that the Togo Kisen
Kaisha is not as anxious to make
time as formerly and this because she
has no Chinese freight contracts to
fulfill on account of the boycott of
Japanese steamships by the Chinese.
The Hongkong sails for the Orient at
5 o'clock this afternoon.
