This means that the state requires
from twelve to sixteen months from
January of each year to collect the

the state must do to meet this situa-

In an effort to get all the light pos

recently ordered a detailed investiga-

The contract was given to one OF the
leading firms of accountants in the

ACCIDENT TOLL
IS VERY HEAVY

The numbers of persons implicated in
train accidents during the months of
January, February, and March, 1909,
as shown in reports made by the rail-
road companies to the Interstate Com.
merce Commission, was 500 persons
killed and 1922 injured. OF these,
III killed and 261S injured were pas
sengers. These figures do not include
accidents to employees resulting in
slight injuries which would prevent
them from performing service for more
than three days during the ten days
following the accident. The figures for
the quarter mentioned are slightly less
than for the two previous quarters not
withstanding the fact that both freipht
and passenger traffic had increased The
accidents mentioned were results main:
ly of collisions and derailments. During
the period there we're 1912 collisions
and 1912 derailments and of these
figures, 16s collisions and 145 derail-
ments affected passenger trains, The
total damage to cars, engines and road
ways from these accidents amounted to
$1,s47 ,202.
Among the causes for collisions, the
most common were carelessness and
neglect in despatching trsins, and in
ordering sidings and waits. The mat
tention Of enginemen to the details of
their orders is also a prominent cause.
In few instances righteousness on the
part of employees or others was the
cause of either collisions or derailments.
Most of the derailments and other ac-
cidents are caused by imperfect knowl-
edge in constructing roadbeds and track
in accordance with the demands of the
traffic. They were largely due to i'm
perfect engineering and construction

unknown CAR RUNS
into UNKNOWN RIG

Speeding like mad along Kalakaua
avenue last night about 1920, bound
Waikikiward, big seven scatter auto,
with a driver that imagined himself
king of the road, came in violent con-
tact with a private rig bound in the
opposite direction.
The auto veered sufficiently to miss
the horse, but carried away one of the
shafts and threw the driver out so
that he was knocked senseless. The
auto sped onward, but presently anoth-
er one appeared on the scene. The
driver was picked up and taken away,
and a man was left to lead the horse
and shattered rig back to where it
belonged.
Nothing could be discovered last
night as to the identity of the driver
nor owner of the rig nor where the
latter was taken to. The seven scatter
that did the damage is described as
being painted light color and having
women in the tonneau. The driver wore
light brown cap.
The machine that came to the rescue
was a five scatter and was painted a
dark color. The man who drove was in
evening dress and the man who led the
horse and rig away was dressed in a
long, light overcoat. According to de-
scription he may have had evening
dress underneath.
There were no spectators of the &C
cident, but one or two Hawaiians and
Chinese appeared on the scene direct
ly afterwards and they notified the
police. The latter made inquiries but
nothing as to the identity of the Jug
gernaut driver nor of his friends who
took the injured man away could be
| discovered.

MALE GETS 4 BETTER
PRICE FOR HIS LAND

C. B. Male has sold to the Robert
Love Estate for $500 piece of land
on Pauahi street near Smith, and the
sale bears out his contention that the
auction sale some years ago in which
three pieces of land, one of them the
one just resold. did not bring an ade-
quate price, only $646.40 being paid
by Henry Van Gieson for the three
pieces. The lot just disposed of by
Male is one of those which Van
Gieson was forced by the courts to
reconyey to him.

Catholic, the Holiness and the Chris
tian Science. During the past year
most of these churches have added to
their material equipment, the Friends
and Christians have added commodious
Sunday school rooms, the Nazarenes
have built a new church, the Free
Methodists have added a parsonage
and the Methodist Episcopals are now
building a good parsonage, and the
Congregationals are planning in the
near future to erect what will perhaps
be the best church edifice in the city,
and the Presbyterians have organized
and occupied a new building. All this
is taking place without any sign of
jealousy, but with happy cooperation.
The friendly rivalry is beautiful to see.
Much interdenominational work is car
ried on and there is union ministers
meeting to which most of the pastors
belong. There is much social life in the
churches and this eliminates much that
is Objectionable in other places. The
church auxiliary societies are very ac-
tive In almost every church.
1t is doubtful if the Sunday school
work of Whittier is surpassed by any

city of its size in Southern California
or elsewhere for that matter. These
schools are superintended and taught
by a large number of professional and
business men, and by women of culture
and refinement. The organized class
work in Whittier is superior. The mu-
sic i'm the Whittier churches is also
of a high order and some of the finest
voices are heard here every Sabbath.
The church membership of Whittier
includes most of her inhabitants A
church with almost one thousand
members in a city of five thousand is
quite remarkable. yet this is true in
Whittier. Church membership is not
discounted in Whittier. All the seats
are free and visitors are always given
the glad hand. Sectarianism is not
noticeable. The Sabbath is well OBJ
served in Whittier and her residents
are found in happy homes, enjoying
and appreciating the fruits of Chris
tianity and in reach of the best
churches to be found anywhere, and
more of her people avail themselves of
the benefits of the sanctuary every
Sunday than in most towns and cities.

culture, the writer has no hesitation
in saying that a walnut grove will
prove as profitable as citrus grove
and the results will be obtained with
far less worry and labor
The planting of walnuts is extending
on the Pacific coast. Oregon has set
out many orchards, but this increase in
paintings will not meet the increased
demand.
Whittier and Rivera have some of
the finest land and some of the very
best walnut groves on the coast, and
we believe that no one who is inter-
ested in this industry can make a mis-
take in thorough investigation of this
locality, and when they look upon a
walnut grove in full bearing they will
see vision of beauty with substan-
tial features that will appeal to any
business man. ]. ALLEN OSMUN.

CHURCH LIFE OF WHITTIER
by THOMAS NEwLIN

HI HITTER is truly city of
w churches and church societies.
The pulpits of the Whittier
churches are filed by some of the most
noted ministers in their respective de-
nominations Christian fellowship is
free and open, and the very best of
feelings exist among the different de-
nominations Most of the more COM
mon denominations have organizations
here. The Friends or Quakers come
first, and they have perhaps the largest
membership still, but they are closely
followed by the Methodist Episcopal.
the Bapists. the Christian and the Con-
gregational churches. Then there are
the Episcopal the Free Methodist, the
United Presbyterian, the Nazarene, the
