RANCH AND FARM.

John Quincy Adams, general manager
of the land department of the Chicago
Milwaukee & Puget Sound system has
severed his connection with the company
and will devote his time hereafter ia
his private interests which are very
extensive both in the central states
and over the northwest.

1.-THE large wool buyers have not yet
entered this state to contract upon the
clip for mex year. but they are already
busily engaged in the Utah sheep region.
At the present time about two.thirds of
the wool crop of that state has been con-
tracted for nineteen hundred and ten.
The price ranging around twenty cents,
from nineteen and one-half cents to
twenty cents per pound was fair for
Motana wool this year. The Montana
wool is a better variety than that OBJ
tanned from Utah, and consequently a
better price is paid for it. The wool has
a longer staple and a lighter shrinkage.
which are two valuable points observed
by the buyer. A number of sheep will be
shipped from Billings this winter-at
present about thirty thousand are being
fed on the sugar beet mills pulp which is
n of the finest feeds that can be OBJ
tanned for sheep. 1t has a wonderful fat

pounds, at 50 per 100 pounds. or $136. is
each. which it is said at the Union
stock yards, Chicago, is the highest
price paid for branded range cattle on
the regular market. They dressed 6l.2
per cent of live weight and William J.
Russell, the expert wholesale market
manager for Swift & Co., who bought
the cattle, pronounced their beef unusu-
ally fine quality. The cattle we're bred
and raised on a ranch neat Livingston.
They were taken to Delavan. ILL.,, and
turned into a stalk field and later fed in
a dry lot. Then they were put on blue
grass with a light ear corn ration, after
which they were fed crushed corn and
oats with dry fodder, until shortly be-
fore they were sent to market.

FROM FIRE
CITY OF HILO SHOULD HAVE
LARGER WATER MAINS TO EN-
SURE SAFETY FROM FLAMES.

A better water system for Hilo is
one of the matters which Superin-
tendent of Public Works Marston
Campbell has been taking up with
William Vannatta, the superintendent
of the water system in the Hawaii
town, for the past ten days. The
mains in Hilo, with the exception Of
those on Waianuenue street and in
one or two other localities, are too
small to give proper fire protection,
as was shown recently at a fire in
which a little baby was burned to
death and which. with a decent water
supply at the point of the conhagra-
tion, would have been quickly ex-
tinguished.
In addition to this many of the
mains in Hilo are old and filled with
holes which cause a great deal of
leakage and loss. The reservoir sys-
tenn is in good shape and no addl-
tions are needed in this line, while
the supply is first class and large
enough for a city of ten times Hilo's
size.

When three trans-Pacific liners hit
Honolulu within a day there is hus-
Ting in this harbor of the hub of the
Pacific that staggers the ordinary rou-
tine of events.
Last evening the Toyo Kisen Kaisha
S. s. Nippon Maru arrived from San
Francisco with eight days mail and
she sailed for the Orient at IL o'clock
this morning.
Bright and early the P. M. S. S.
Manchuria arrived from the Orient,
to sail for the Coast at o'clock this
afternoon; at about 1870 o'clock the
Canadian-Australian Co.'s palatial
new S. S. Makura hit port from Vic
toria and Vancouver, en- route to the
Southern Cross colonies, whittier she
departs at 2 o'clock this afternoon.
Customs officers, automobiles, hacks,
hotels and other things and people,
on this triple account, were stirred
to an activity that seldom occurs.
A goodly bunch of local passengers
struck Honolulu per Manchuria and
going through, to the Coast, aboard
the same monster tank, are several
prominent folks, not of local fame, but
whose fame illuminated this locality
about as much as it has decorated out
side sections of the earth.
Judge Whitley, for example, is bound
to San Francisco from Shanghai.
Judge L. r. Whitley is he around
whom there was such an atmosphere
of argument for the reason that he
is alleged to have high-handed it in
the Orient in regard to American law
yers. He was complained against by
attorneys who went to Shanghai from
Honolulu; there were damage suits
and other excitement; complaints were
filed; it was sought to have him re-
moved; and President Roosevelt stood
up for him, in fact practically exon
Grated him; then Wiley resigned, and
now he is going back to the States
with, as far as is known, no truth
of any charges clinging to him, but

velopes. The result was a general in
vestigation which was made by ms
pector Hare and which resulted last
night in the taking of three letters one
of which had been opened, from Stay
ton, shortly after the arrival of the
Nippons mail.
When placed under arrest on a war
rant sworn to by U. S. District Attor-
ney Breckons, Stayton maintained that
his accounts would be found o. k. and
that if they were not, he had the
money with which to make good any
shortage. He said that he had been
50 worried by his work. the inspection
of accounts and other matters, that he
had opened the official mails. He
was taken to the Oahu Jail at about IL
o'clock last night and waived eXamina-
tion before United States Commission
er Kingsbury this morning being held
in $1,000 bonds
The accounts of Staytons office have
not yet been examined by Inspector
Hare, but this will be done very soon.
The work could not be attended to to-
day on account of the fact that there
are three mails to be handled and
the postoffice is rushed with this bust
ness. The penalty for abstracting let
ters from a postal pouch under the law
is Imprisonment for not more than a
year or a fine of not over $500 or
both.

The arrest of John T. Stayton, charg-
ed with abstracting official letters from
the United States mail, took place last
night shortly after the mail pouches
from the Nippon Maru were brought
to the postofiice. Stayton has held
the position of assistant postmaster
in this city for some time and has
had the trust and confidence of every
one in the postal service. He is an
extremely popular young man and as
far as can be learned has practically
no bad habits. lie was soon to have
been married.
The abstracting of letters from the
mail appears to have been done by
Stayton in order to ascertain whether
he was being watched for a more Sc
rious offense. 1t appears that when
the money order accounts were ms
pected last September, there was a
discrepancy of 5000. This could not
be traced, but was made good by Stay
ton. At the time no one had the
slightest lued IhdL ne Coulu nave ndu
anything to do with the shortage, so
great was the confidence of the other
officials in his integrity,
From that time on Postmaster Pratt
and Inspector Hare kept missing mail
from Washington. Several times they

An interesting matter came up be-

to be tried under an old indictment
as member of the Ten Dollar Club
which existed some five years ago.
His attorney strenuously objected,
claiming that the indictment was
worthless for present use, for Haya-
shi had not been given the speedy
trial, which, under the Constitution
every defendant is entitled to. The
matter was the occasion of a rather
hot argument and was continued till
Monday morning.
