REDWOOD COUNTYS INDUSTRIAL
CONTEST.
Prizes for Boys and Girls on Corn, Oats,
Potatoes, Cooking, Sewing, etc.

This being the time when the boys
and girls must begin to collect and
select grains for the contest. we take
occasion to call attention to few
facts that should be noted. Since
we sent out our circular last spring,
the Farmers Club, under whose
auspices these contests are conduct
ed, has made some changes. Name
ly they have removed the require
ment that the contestant must raise
the corn and vegetables himself. In
stead of that he may select from the
crop grown on the home farm. This
throws the contest open to those
who have not planted patch of
their own. Furthermore, those who
have may select from the crop on
the farm, if that is of better quality.
FOR WHOM.
This contest is for all boys and
girls in the county under 18 years of
age. We hope that all those who
have thus far applied to enter will
take steps to prepare for it and that
others will at this time ask for ap-
plication blanks and thus indicate
their intention to enter. 1t is neces-
sary to know who will enter in or
der that we may give them such in
formation as is necessary from time
to time.
PLACE.
This contest will be held at Red
wood Falls the latter part of
September in connection with the
county fair. Arrangements will be
made so that contestants living at a
distance may send their articles or
products.
PRIZES.
Six liberal prizes will be offered
for each. article. The exhibits re-
ceiving these prizes in the county
may be sent to the State Contest
which will be held in st. Paul in
January, where cash prizes will be
given. Arrangements are being
made to give prize to the best ex-
hibit from each township. A COM
plete list of these prizes will be sent
to the contestants soon.
PRODUCTS.
Prizes will be offered for the fol-
lowing articles only: Corn, oats, po-
tatoes (early and late), onions (yel-

bestheads of grain from any field of

sample of grain from the same field
so as to get it just as good as pos
sible. 1t would be advisable to
select twenty or thirty heads in or
der to have sufficient number of
heads to enter the state contest in
case the product should be a prize
winner.
In the selection of corn care should
be taken to have the ears similar in
appearance. Rows should be straight

conference at the tips, butts and
middle should be as nearly uniform
as possible. Kernels should be deep

waist, and by contestant.

OPINION or THE COURT BY
HARTWELL. C. J.

This is an action brought in Decem-
Der. 1906, to recover the sum of $l33.50
and interest from June 50, 1904, for
sewer rates from December 81, 1902,
charged to James Campbell Estate for
use of the public sewer on Queen street,
Honolulu. in connection with the Camp
bell block The complaint AYERS that
on March >, 1901, the defendant,

order TO obtain the use of the public
sewer for the property, applied to Nc

superintendent of Public Works, for
permission, which was given, to con-
meet it with the sewer. agreeing to pay
such rate annually for use of the sewer
as might be fixed, and that il was fixed
at $50 annually Tor the Campbell block.

the complaint on the grounds that it
did not show authority of the plaintiff
or his predecessor to assess the rates,
or his legal capacity to sue; that the
court had no jurisdiction of the subject
matter, and that the complaint did not
state a cause OF action. The demurrer
was sustained January %, 1908
The defendants do not object to the
action on the grounds that it is brought
by the Superintendent of Public Works
in the name of the Territory rather
than by the Attorney-Ge under
section 2o09 R. L., or that, after the

Eleven feet in eleven months is the
growth made by some of the Hevea
rubber trees in the Nahiku district,
according to the reports brought back
by F. T. p Waterhouse, who has spent
the last two weeks among the rubber
groves of the Nahiku company and the
INSTRUMENTATION Rubber Company
and who returns well pleased with the
condition of the rubber plantations. In
the nursery set out less than year
ago the young trees average well over
six feet and are strong and healthy.
Mr.. Waterhouse is particularly well
pleased with the way the Hevea trees
are growing, this tree being a more
economical one and giving a better flow
of gum when tapped. In the Maui
plantations the Hevea trees are not Gull
tivated as well as they might have
been, despite which the two-year-old
trees are taller than a man on horse

the Hevea trees, which do so well, are
cultivated thoroughly, the whole
ground between the trees being work.

brought by the successor of the Super
intendent with whom the agreement
was made and continued in his name
after he in turn was succeeded by a
new incumbent.
The claim of non-liability is based
on the absence of statutory power in
the superintendent to assess or to re-
quire payment of the rates. The de-

thorities cannot levy an assessment for

TO bear the expense of local improve

and that it is generally considered to
be question of legislative expediency
whether the expense shall be paid out
of the general treasury or assessed upon

Judson, supra, Sec. 567; Dillon, supra,
See. 752.
The case is not within the rule ap-
plieable to unauthorized assessments
made upon owners or occupants of prop
erty abutting upon streets in order to
obtain funds for defraying the expense
OF public improvements which benefit
the property. The defendants request
for permission to connect the property
with the sewer and their promise to
pay for use of the sewer are not shown

regulation OF the superintendent of
Public Works or of the Board Of
Health 1t was a voluntary offer,
which presents the question whether,
after its acceptance and rhe subsequent
use of the sewer, the defendants can
avoid the contract so made on the
ground that it was illegal either as con-
trary TO public policy or because it was

thousand of these trees in the Ma
hiku company's plantation.
Another. disadvantage under which
the Heveas suffered is that. they were
planted during the winter months, Mr..
Waterhouse having learned in Ceylon
that this is considered the wrong time
of the year. The reason for the VIM
ter planting has been that it is in the
winter that the seed crop natures and
the seeds are then cheapest, although
the trees bear a few matured seeds at
all seasons of the year and the rubber
growers make particular efforts to Sc
cure these off-season seeds for plant
ing. Two thousand such SEEDS were
brought to Hawaii by Mr.. Waterhouse
and these are now being planted. few
of them being given for planting in
Puma and the rest going to Nahiku.
Under this planting the Heveas will
have the same favorable conditions as
the Cearas had and better comparisons
between the two species can be made.
Taking it all through, Mr.. Water
house is well satisfied with the rubber
