With this issue the News Item
is published under the new man
agement, aud we have no idea Of
starting a contlagration on the pla-
cid surface of Lake Mokoma--not
yet. Some day she may burn as
brightly as the susquehauna river
which is to be damned at Towanda
soon. But for a while, until we
get the hang of the Office and a grip
on the goings and comings of the
population, we expect to be very
circumspect and modest.
Brother Charles l.. Wing, the
retiring editor, is using us like a
gentleman and a scholar which he
is seven days week. He is doing
all in his power to make the "kick-
Off in this game as easy as posi-
BILE for us. His hosts of friends all
testify to his unfailing energy and
sterling integrity. Many regrets
will be felt when he and his hon
ored wife depart for their new home
in the distant south.
Since the above was in type Bro.
Wing has proved himself a friend
in need. lie saw plainly that we
were in sore need of news, and in
order to help us out, grabbed up a
box of scrap metal went to the door
and dropped it on his foot, Grip
pling himself severely. A man
who will do thing like that de-
serves q gold medal foot thick.
There is no reason why this pa
per should not prosper and enjoy
as good patronage as any country
newspaper in this section of the
state. The present manager takes
it in hand with the determination
to leave nothing undone that will
make the News Item as good and
as interesting as any country pub
lication.
The policy Of this paper will be
to encourage enterprise throughout
the county, and especially in the
town of Laporte. A man may love
his country, be willing to fight and
die for it, but after all there's no
place like home, no folks like the
home folks. So it is with the To-
cal paper, however bread the guage
of interest and desire lor general
prosperity, the home town is first
to be considered.
1t is generally conceded that La
porte is just entering upon an era
of unprecedented business activity.
In evidence of that fact, note the
improvements everywhere, the
stretches OF permanent cement side
walks, better buildings, the splen-
did structure being erected to be
used as a banking house, the fine
development of Lake Mokoma, the
agitation Of the proposition to or
ganize a water company to supply
the town, all go to prove that this
town is going to see better days
than at any period in the past.
We promise that the News Item
will be right on the spot, encourag-
ing every effort for the progress Of
the Getty set on an hill"--Laporte,
sister of the dawn.

Pulled Wheat 10c Puffed Rice -15c

These are the foods invented by Prof. An
derson, and this is his curions process:
The whole wheat or rice kernels are put into
sealed guns. Then the guns are revolved for
sixty minutes in heat of $50 degrees.
That fierce heat turns the moisture in the
grain to steam, and the pressure becomes tre-
mendous.

island, made a week ago, gave the new
owners the idea that the water possl-
hiIities are considerably greater than
have been supposed. However, 1t Will
take some good engineering work to
devlop the water resources.
Although the Kalawai valley will
probably be devoted to cotton growing,
the grazing business will not be aban-

raised as heretofore. It is estimated
that there are on Lanai about 30,VOV

APPROPRIATION
BILL DISCUSSED
Caucus of Supervisors Results in
Its Tentative Passing With
Few Changes.

After half days wrangling over
the general appropriation bill for the
six months commencing the first of the
year, the supervisors, meeting in eau
Gus, tentatively passed the same with
a total but a little at variance with
that voted on and passed six months
ago.
Converting at half past three yester-
day afternoon in the assembly hall at
the city offices, the caucus was still in
session at six and much alteration
drifted down the corridor. There will
be but few extra items in the bill
when it comes before the supervisors
in regular session.
The only new posts created by the
bill as it now stands are the salaries
for two extra guards at the county Jail.
At present the guards there are stand
ing duty twelve hours to q stretch and
the additional guards provided Will
shorten the shifts to eight hours apiece.
Supervisor Quinn stated last night
fnat the t0Edl Will Hbl hc Lhplf imam
800 in variance with the last bill pass
ed. Not a cent more, he says, has been
voted for the bridges, parks, roads and
other and similar departments.
The police department gets the same
appropriation and does not get the ad-
dition that was wanted. Sheriff Jarrett
asked the board for an appropriation
for $500 a month to be expended by
himself to use as a secret service fund
and further TO be expended without
accounting for it to anyone except the
chairman Of the police committee Of the
board Of supervisors. The members
showed no desire to let the sheriff learn
any secrets.
The voting Of this fund would have
placed At a minimum any necessity for
repe+ition of charges against any
chief Of detectives or other official IN
the future. The board Of supervisors,
however. failed to see il that way.

Public Library Building

EREAR'S MISSION SUCCESSFUL
Territory Must Pay for Upkeep
of Promised Magnificent
Institution.
FREAR's MISSION SUCCESSFUL

Andrew Carnegie will give Honolulu
100000 to pay the cost of the erection
of public library building. A cable
gram to this effect was received by
Acting Governor Mott-Smith yesterday
from Governor Frear, who was at that
time in New York.
One of the things that the Governor
had on his list when he left for the
East. few weeks ago, was to see Mr..
Carnegie and find out what the Iron
King would actually do toward provid-
ing Honolulu with library building.
Mr.. Carnegie had previously promised
TO contribute the funds to pay for the
erection of building, if the legisla-
fure of the Territory would approprl-
ate money to pay for the upkeep. The
Legislature did, at the last regular ses-
sion, appropriate the sum of $4,000
wear for that purpose, by an act intro
sduced in the house by Representative
sShingle.
But Mr.. Carnegie had not, when the
Governor went East, come down to fig
ures. and Governor Frear intended to
see him and get the matter definitely
settled. 1t is now evident that Gov
aernor Frear has been successful in his
mission and that Hawaii is to have
library.
Just where the proposed building
will be located is still matter to be
settled 1t has been proposed by the
