EVENING PARTY.
A particularly pretty table fancy
was shown at an informal evening
party where the supper served was
e buffet" says the Housekeeper.
Lighted jack-o'lanterns were placed
on the ~sideboard and a large weirdly-
shaped Japanese lantern hung from
the chandelier directly over the dining
table. which, however. had no
lights upon it. The table was round
and was covered with a bright yellow
cloth. Two large brass platters were
placed at n end OF the table with a
rop distance between them to give
them the effect of being big round
eyes. A large round cake iced with
pistachio frosting filled the center of
each platter, while a rim of small
white cakes outlined them prettily.
The nose was another round dish
filled with little round nut sandwiches
and the mouth was a half moon of
small round brass dishes filled with
fruits. bonbons, nuts and so forth.
Each feature was outlined by bitter
sweet vine and the effect was as novel
as it was charming. Having the fea-
lures not too close looked best. A
pretty table for Halloween can be
planned by having the table bare with
big doilies cut from scarlet material
in the shape of maple leaves. For a
center piece a dish or bowl of highly
polished fruits looks most dainty,
draped with the airy clematis.
Little crook-necked squashes. hol-
lowed out, make delightful little horns
of plenty to fill with bonbons or can
died fruits, while apples n oddly
shaped potatoes will serve nicely for
candlesticks. having the candles color
ed red, green or yellow.

Estimate of Expenditures for Ensu-
ing Period.-This, for both current
and loan funds, will be submitted in a
separate statement.
Form of Appropriation Bill recon-
mend that instead of having salaries
and expenses, respectively, appropria-
ted for in separate bills, there be but
one bill covering both classes of ex-
penditures. This is the practice else
where and it has the advantage of
presenting in one place all the expen-
ditures authorized for anv branch of
the public service.
recommend also that instead Of in
cooperating in each appropriation bill
the usual sections prescribing limita-
lions upon expenditures of appropria-
tions, a separate bill of a permanent
the provisions of which should be
carefully prepared inasmuch as those
which have long been enacted with
each appropriation bill do not meet
all requirements.
Bonds and Loan Fund.-The bonded
Indebtedness has been reduced by the
payment of all outstanding per cent
bonds, amounting to 5000, and in
creased by $4,000 of 3h per cent
bonds issued for public improvements
making the present bonded indebted
ness SO, 959, 900, with balance of 81,
1878 in the sinking fund on Deem
Der 81, 1908.
At the beginning of the period, Junt
80, 1907, the cash balance in the loar
fund was 24S,772OS against which
there were outstanding warrants Il
the amount of $44423, to which casf
balance there was added during tn,
year by the sale of new bonds $2SS,561
making a total of $537 ,333.03, of whicl
1852, 967S3 was expended up to Decem
Der 81, 1908, leaving at that date
cash balance of $174,365.2O agains
which there were outstanding war
rants to the amount Of $4,54S.92. Tn
p balance will practically all be requir
ed before the end of the period 70
appropriations already made.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1909-02-17

On May 1, 1908, $4,000 of per
cent. bonds and on October l, 1908,
/ 81, 100000 of Az per cent bonds be-
came redeemable, and on January 2,
1910, an additional $1,0O0,00O of Az per
cent. bonds will become redeemable.
Probably it will be best to pay the
$685. 10000 of bonds out of the sinking
fund as it accumulates, but the ST.
100000 of Az and Az per cent. bonds
should be refunded at lower rate OF
interest. If this should be done in
whole or in part before the end of the
period, the large sums required to be
set aside as sinking fund under the
act of the last Legislature should be
borne in mind in making appropria-
tions.
A bill is pending in Congress to per-
nit greater latitude as to the times
of redemption and payment of bonds,
so that these may be made such, with
in reasonable limits, as to make it
possible to sell them to best advan-
tage In contemplation of this, the
refunding act should be amended or,
perhaps better, should be repealed and
a new act passed.
Special Funds recommend that an
act be passed converting the special
funds for fire claims, postal money or
ders and gold and silver certificates
of deposit, respectively, into current
funds and appropriating the amounts
for the payment of claims when pre-
scented. This may be done by an act
similar to that of 1903 in regard to
the Chinese fund.
Deposits of Government Funds in
Bank.-I recommend legislation fol
the authorization of this under pro,
per limitations, in order to avoid the
withdrawal of large amounts Of mo-
ney from circulation at times and in
cidentally to increase the revenue by
the amounts of interests which may
be received on such deposits.

well assume definite shape for econom-
ical as we'll as other purposes. To illus
trate, arrangements have been made by
which the same Office, equipment and
officers are utilized for the enforcement
of the pure food laws of the respective
governments; by which an officer of the
Federal government has been loaned
for conducting the rat campaign; and
by which the officers of the two govern
ments are cooperating in the matter Of
leprosy. There is no danger that the
Federal Government will care to take
from the Territory jurisdiction over in
ternal health matters so long as the
Territory exercises it effectively.
Leprosy.-During the last two years
many additions and improvements have
been made at the settlement, among
which special mention may be made Of
the general hospital, the ward for per-
sons suffering from infectious and
contagious diseases other than leprosy.
and the nursery for babies. A hosp
tai has been erected at the Kalihi Re-
ceiving Station. After a vain search
of several years for a site for the boys
home, it was thought best to delay no
longer, and the boys were brought to
the Honolulu Quarantine Station, which
has been utilized as a home for about
year, during which time a site has
been obtained and a suitable building
! erected, to which the boys have recent
/ ly been moved. A small additional ap-
preparation will be required to complete
the furnishing of the home. The
girls home, nearby, should have the
! present old patchwork buildings re-
/ placed by suitable new buildings.
Hawaii may well take pride in the
! generosity and humanity with which
she has treated those so unfortunate as
to be afflicted with this disease, but
the facts make it clear that with even
greater humanity there may be much
greater effectiveness of treatment. A
pronounced change of policy is de-
manded by the conditions. Hitherto
emphasis has been laid almost wholly
upon segregation at the settlement
with very imperfect results; it was Sc
gregation that did not segregate. AL
though the policy Of segregation has
been pursued for forty-three years, 1t Il

S. j. HUFFINE HERE.

S. j. Hufine, from Ration. New
Mexico, is a new arrival in Rich
field. He is cousin of York Den
ton, manager for the Weeter Lumber
company, and he expects to go into
the general contracting business here.
Richfield looks good enough for him
he says, that he is willing to settle
down here to make his home.
Mr.. Huffine owned some land in
Oklahoma a few years ago, on which
he had a fine crop of wheat, $40
acres, within two weeks Of harvest
time. A cyclone ecame skipping
across the plains. one hot day, and
distributed the wheat over seventeen
townships of other remains-too bad
ly scattered for him TO pick it up
again. Mr.. Hufine was 40 miles
away, in the direction the cyclone
was travelling. The sky rained barn
doors, fences, cats and dogs, wheat
and other impediments all around
him, but he was too busy to identify
any of his own property. The big
funnel skipped him, however, going
up into the air so that it wasn't OIL
lecting any more stun, but the pro-
perty it disgorged from its innards
was something scandelous. Mr. HUI
fines partner in the ownership OF the
wheat was an insurance man. well
skilled In persuading others of the
danger OF negelcting insurance, but
he had not put any crop insurance
on their own grain-so they lost 1t
all. The Huffine interests in Okla
homa ceased at once, and he took
the fast train for New Mexico, with
the memory of "a persons killed in
the cyclone, pursuing him down the
track faster than the train could go
He is so well pleased with cyclone
less Idaho that he is planning to stay
here.

Work on the System.

Superintendent Moynihan, of the
water works, occupied himself and
his large crew of men, the last Of
the week, in opening the ditch for
the pumping main, through and US
der the railroad grade at the foot of
Main street. They went through
some heavy rock at that point, which
required lot of shooting. They
have the ditch practically finished,
well down to the river, and are ready
to lay most of the pipe.
There is no doubt that they will
be able to finish the system enough
so that they can fill the water tower,
by the 18th of May, the approximate
date for the opening of the Richfield
hotel. A large crew of men is en-
ployed, getting the work along as
fast as it can be pushed. Much of
the larger main is already laid, and
some of the laterals are laid, or the
ditch opened ready for the pipe.
Enough laterals are to be put in to
serve the whole town.
When the system is completed,
Richfield will have the best fire pro
lection of any town in Arid Idaho.
There are one or two others, where
they are fortunate enough to find
gravity system, by bringing the wat
er for long distance. But none of
these even, will have anything bet
ter, and there is not another pump
ing system in the state that is the
equal of the Richfiedl system. The
tower is higher, stands on higher
ground, and it has great storage as
we'll as greater pumping capacity,
than any other of the fine new sys-
tens installed in southern Idaho.
Material is to be on hand for max
ing all the individual taps that may
be asked for The old days of the
water barrel and the "wish-it-would
-get-a-drink" are now
about over in Richleld.

SIX MONTHS TO SPARE.
Water ON DIETRICH Tract Half a Year
Before Needed.

Buyers on the Dietrich tract are
going to have the greatest sensation
in the history of the Carey Act lands
the delivery of the water on the
lands six months earlier than they
want or need or expect it, six months
earlier than their contract calls for
it's delivery.
Messrs. Hales and Crane, the heav-
lest contractors on the Idaho Irriga-
tion project, have taken the contract
for the DIETRICH tract-the canals,
laterals, and all the excavations OF
all kinds. There will be lot of 1t;
the total estimate is about 1,4OO, 900
cubic yards, part of it the heaviest
kind OF rock work.
But they will not wait for even
their own large outfit to do this
work. They have already sub-con-
tracted practically all Of 1t, and they
expect to have the last rock, the last
shovelful of dirt, finished by Octo-
Der of this year This is six months
earlier than the legal water season;
it is seven to eight months earlier
than the ordinary water season re-
quirements. They say, however, that
they do not wish to risk winter
work; the seasons are too uncer-
tain, and by putting on large force
they can get it done this season.
While it means the payment for the
work several months before the work
is needed, and the loss of quite a
sum in interest on this payment in
they expect to do it and
have it OF hand so there can be no
possible fall-down.
The DIETRICH lands promise to at
tract extraordinary attention. 1t has
been predicted that the land will be
taken the first first day, or just as fast
as the filing can be made-which
should require perhaps three or four
days to complete

Some of the other towns have had
all kinds OF trouble in the laying out
of their streets. Shoshone has one
street almost as crooked as a goat
path, and it is said that the blocks,
having been measured with the olds

links badly worn, are from one to
three feet longer than they should be
Other towns have better cause to
regret a little careful engineering at
the foundation of their history; and

pies
There is an old theory, followed
by some excellent gardeners, that
a crooked row will raise more corn
or other crop plants than straight
row between the same two points.
But Richfield believes there will be
a little better degree of prosperity
on straight, uniformly graded streets
than on the crookedest, most Orien-
tai street ever laid across the prairie;
hence the mass of correct engineer
ing material gathered together in the
beginning of the towns history.

A piano was shipped out to the
boys at the dam. Saturday, and it had
not been in camp more than five or
six minutes before it was unloaded,
unlocked and in active operation. j.
d. Strawn, the material superintend-
ent, is such a pianist as would be the
pride of almost any opera or musi-
cal organization; he plays with the
liquid grace, the feeling and the
strength of a virtuoso; and there was

such as any cranky, critical, music

1t was not the first music in the
camp, however. Superintendent Nc
Clanahan has a piano at his home,
across the river, where the boys have
been free to gather. There are gui-
tars, mandolins and cornets, and har-
monicas, and many other instru-
ments there-and some one to play
every one, and play it we'll There

and a lot of others who can reel off
clever, catchy songs by the score.
The boys plan to build a club room
and books and papers, and a general
meeting place after the labors of the
day. The piano was brought in by
a general contribution of the Office
and engineering forces. They plan
to have about as comfortable quar-
ters as can be prepared out so far in
the wilderness.
Base ball, tennis asd other outdoor
sports are to be inaugurated this sea-
son. A fine double tennis court has
been prepared, and a neiaborate out
fit of baseball supplies shipped in.
There are some players who would
make the best of the professional
teams exert themselves to beat. The
boys have game scheduled for Hal
ley, for the Fourth of July, and they
want other games during the season,
with their teams. At their high al
