political sentiment in Oxford county

That is the situation on the Guberna-

The Republican National convention
which meets in Chicago, June 10th, will
consist of $50 delegates. The last con-
vention was composed of 994 delegates,
but the national committee reduced the
representation of the Territories and
the District of Columbia from six
delegates to two delegates. Oklahoma
comes in with fourteen delegates, and
these respective changes fix the total
representation at $50. Maine will have
u delegates Politicians are of the
opinion that Republican presidential
politics will begin to take definite shape
within the next six weeks. At present
Secretary Taft appears to be in the lead.
Perhaps one explanation of the tenn
perance wave that is sweeping over the
country, north and south, may be found
in the attitude of the railroad and other
large corporations on the temperance
question. For example, the Northwest
ern Railroad has for some time been
discriminating as regards both dis
charges and promotions IN favor of
those who shun alcohol and against
those who do not, and the other day
twenty-five thousand of the employees
voluntarily signed a total abstinence
pledge. The New York Times suggests
that the Northwestern's plan can be
applied in little businesses just as well,
and that society could use it if society
chose.

BODY BLOW FOR
THE LUMBERMEN

TACOMA, (Wash.), March 30.-The
lumber interests of the Pacific Coast
realize now that James ]. Hill is
wreaking upon them terrible ven
geance for the numerous anti-railroad
measures which they forced through
the last two legislatures. The lumber
men organized and sent to the legisla-
ture every lumberman they could elect.
They created a railroad commission,
passed reciprocal demurrage car stake
and other bills.
During this time the lumbermen
were trying to force Hill to greatly eX-
tend the territory covered by the 40
cent rate on fir lumber. Hill refused.
His operating expenses increased. SUD
denly last fall he announced that be-
ginning November LIST, lumber rates
would be increased % per cent on fir
and nearly as much on cedar, lumber
and shingles, and during the Deem
Der hearing before the Interstate Com
merce Commission at Washington Hill
shook his fist in the face of the Wash
ington lumbermen and declared he
would drive many of them into bank
ruptcy. This will happen in the event
that Hills rates are sustained
A majority of the 400 lumber mills
dependent upon rail shipments will
then have to rebuild and remodel for
cutting only heavy timbers, leaving
common lumber shipments to the
southern States. On November list the
lumbermen secured an injunction in
the Federal Court against the enforce
ment of the new rates and gave $780,
900 bond to the railroads for the pay
ment of the difference if Hills rates
are upheld. This bond has been eX-
hausted. The lumbermen refuse to in
crease the bond and lumber shipments
have practically ceased.
To cap the climax loggers have alb
solutely failed to get any rate conces-
sions or the establishment Of the joint
rates which they expected. Instead, the
railroads tell the loggers and the State
Railroad Commissioners that log haul
! ing is an undesirable business, and
the roads wish to discourage it because
of the strain on equipment and the in
| creased liability Of wrecks,
Sixty thousand less men are work

We ARE ALL 4 q
ON MILK WAGON

Many prominent men have Lately
climbed up to the drivers seat on the
water wagon, some have stopped to
pick up their whip, others have kept
manfully on and are still holding down
their jobs. The latest sensation how
ever is only distantly sometimes nea.-
ly) connected with the water wagon,
and Sonny" Cunha has caused it.
Sonny" is now driving a milk wagon
drawn by two beautiful mules, and the
surpassed Sonny will tell you how
he likes his new life, on the 23rd of this
month at the Opera House in the comic
opera The Mascot"
What the Milkman knows" is GER
tainly a lot and well worth hearing!
Besides this Sonny" has a lot of good
songs and funny stunts and to say that
he will make you laugh is putting it
mildly.
Sonny" is without doubt the best
amateur comedian in Honolulu and ii
possible his reputation as such will be
increased after the Mascot for he
certainly is splendid as Rocco" Poor
old Rocco has a pretty hard time of ii
all right, but he is droll old fellow
and smiles where most of us would
weep. The dialogue of The Mascot
is exceptionally clever and very witty.
1t is fortunate therefore, that sonny
could be secured for such an important
part as Rocco.
The Mascot will be presented on
Thursday and Saturday April % and %
at the Opera House and should not be
missed by those who wish to be well
up in the latest comedy specialties o:
! the day.

According to the politicians Of tho

was some time ago. Achi's name has
been mentioned several times as
prospective candidate, but it is stated
that he is trying to make a new com

A. L. G. Atkinson would without
doubt have the support of many of the
haole voters and is very strong with

DECISION
MERRIAM NOT SURE
THAT HIS POSITION HAS BEEN
OVERTHROW.

c. II. Merriam, Registrar of Convey
ances, is not certain that the decision
of the Court of Appeals, reported by
cable. is on the merits of the case. A
point raised against his position was
that the Territorial law on which he
stood was enacted after the Feueral
condemnation suits had been started.
The decision against the Registrar
may be on this point alone, not going
to the principle Of the law involved.
ITO record the plan on the books"
Mr.. Merriam said, would require ITS
reduction to a space of nine by fourteen
inches.

benefit of surveyors at all. drew it

lection to the small purchaser of prop
erty In the case of lots in a large res
idence tract such as Kaimuki, a pur-
chaser taking a lot by its number and
that of the block had no security where
no courses were laid in the deed and
there was only one road having a
name.
MY scheme was to have an authen-
tic plan of the tract filed instead OF
recorded, as it is practically Impossible

From the plan on file blue prints can

Regarding the contention OF the
Federal authorities that the plan OF
the condemned property was part OF
the deed, perforce to be recorded there
with, Mr.. Merriam admitted that the
plan was made part of the judgment
of condemnation by the court, but SAID
it did not necessarily follow that il
should be an integral part of the deed

observed the law requires that tht

courts seems to be that, if the system
it is the duty or the company to oper-
ate the individual lines, whether they
return a profit of their own or not. The
company holds that it has the eXclu-
sive right to initiate operating sche-
dulles which will reasonably accommo-
date the traffic offered and that the
question of public control thereof rests
only with the governor, as the success
sor, under the Organic Act, of the Exc
cutive Council, or Cabinet. The courts
having denied that such control exists
we must await the judgment of the
United States Supreme Court before
risking any additional capital.
I'VE have intended for some time to
extend our tracks to Fort Shafter and
donated the sum of $500 to the Super
visors toward the building of the COIL
crete bridge beyond the end of our car
line, with this object in view, but I'M
til the Supreme Court at Washington
has given its decision on this matter
in our favor we will make no extern
sions whatever.
eff we could build our track to Fort
Shafter and use an extra car there
when special occasion took a number
of people out, or there was material
to be hauled it would be a differen5
matter. Under the decision now being
appealed from here, if we built our
tracks out there we might be com
PEELED if some citizen took the matter
before the courts, to give at our loss,
ten minute all-day service, just so long
as it could be shown that we were max
ing little money off the whole system.
I'VE are bound hand and foot in the
matter. The initial cost of laying che
/ track to Fort Shafter for instance
would be comparatively small, but see
what it might cost in the end. We
might be ordered to run an additions
car for the few rods beyond the pre-
sent terminus for eighteen hours each
day for the twenty years of our fran
chise. This extra car would cost about
$1,000 per year or total of S14O,OO0
Now, if the extra traffic to be gain
ed should warrant we might run a ten
minute service as far as the BeckleJ
switch, near the Kamehameha w road
and a twenty-minute service out to
the Fort. But such reasonable plan
as this could not be adopted under tn
present conditions. The same handi-
cap confronts us with reference to the
extension of other lines, as for instance
the one on Nuuanu street.

To involve matters still more it is
practically certain that John Lane Will
make big fight for the nomination.
He has his friends out every day now
and is not overlooking any bets o.
course he would figure on the strong
support of the Hawaiian votes, but
with Hustace, Lucas and Atkinson
against him would find that he would
lose quite a number of these.
In the meantime the Democratic
leaders are going around very quietly.
but still stirring up all the trouble
possible. They feel assured that, in
case there are two candidates from the
Republican party, or at least one re-
gular and one independent candidate
with the backing of Achi, they can
elect Iaukea or any other man whom
they choose. Every possible thing 10
