Will Work.
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, October 2s.-Now
that the bitter feeling over the charges
and countercharges passed in the in
terror department between Secretary
BalIinger and Clifford Pinchot, forestry
chief, is subsiding, the lines of policy
are becoming less tangled and more
definite. In n statement issued yester.
day, Ballinger comes out fiat footed
and emphatically upholds the right use
Of the country's natural resources lying
within the public domain.
This is considered somewhat OF a

COMFORTING WORDS
Hany a Honolulu Household VIII Find
Them So.

To have the pains and aches of bad
back removed; to be entirely free from
annoying, dangerous urinary disorders
is enough to make any kidney sufferer
grateful, To tell how tins great change
can be brought about will prove corr.
forting words to hundreds of Honolulu
readers.
s. G. Zones, builder and contractor,
1920 Sargent St., Joplin, No., says:
kidney and bladder complaint made
lbs appearance in my case when I was
young and steadily grew worse until
it was feared 1 would die. I consulted
a specialist in Chicago, but he did not
help me and the plasters and electric
belts l wore, were useless. I suffered
from severe, pains. through my kidneys
and various other symptoms of kidney
disease and / knew that if did not
soon get something that would cure me,
there would be little chance Of my re.
covering. After an unusually severe
attack which laid me up for two weeks,
Doan's Backache Kidney Pills were
highly recommended to me and I made
up my. mind to try them. I procured
a box and soon after began their use
the symptoms of my trouble gradually
disappeared. My condition improved
steadily from that time on and before
I realized it, was in good health. I
feel that Dona's Backache Kidney
Pills saved my life Statement Civ
en- in 1860
On Dee,,9, 1908, Mr.. Zones said: "I
still firmly believe in the merits of
Doan's Backache Kidney Pills. 1t is a
pleasure to make the fact known that
my cure has been permanent"
Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are
sold by all druggists and storekeepers

FISH PEDDLERS
ARE ARRESTED
But CeIestials Say They Are
Exempt by Act of the
Legislature.

The arrest by the police yesterday
Of fourteen Chinese, who were booked
at the station on the charge of having
violated Act 90 of the Session Laws
of 1907, by reason of having sold fish
without license, raises question as
to the Interpretation of the act men.
toned. The Chinese and their attor.
ncy, E. A. Douthitt, claim that no
license is required by law for the sale
Of fish. The fish inspector of the
county treasurer s office, who was in
strumental in having the Chinese ar.
rested, claims that, although no-license
is required to peddle fish from house
to house or through the streets, a Ii.
cense of FIVE dollars is provided for
for selling fish in store, stall or
fixed place of business. If the conten.
ton of the inspector is right, it Ger.
tainly indicates an oversight on the
part of the legislature of 1907.
One section of Act 90 of the Session
Laws of 1907 provides for the collec
ton of a general merchandise license
of $25 for the sale of merchandise in
fixed places of business and of a fee
of $50 for peddling. The next section
exempts peddlers of fish, fresh fruits
and vegetables from the payment Of
any license.
The Chinese arrested, however, were
not peddlers, but sell their fish at the
market OF course, they have paid no
license fees. There is no question bat
that, if they had been selling their
fish from door to door or hawking it
through the streets in wagons, they
would be exempt from the payment of
license. But the county treasurer s
office, by the fish inspector, contends
that as they were selling at a fixed
place of business, they are liable for
license fee. This, Notwithstanding
the fact that the previous section of
the act indicates that the Legislature
though much larger fee should be
required from peddlers than from deal.
ers having a fixed place of business.
But although the act specifically
eXempts from license fee the sale of
fish by peddlers, it does not in so many
words exempt storekeepers from the
payment of a fish license.
The case will be tried out in the
courts, and, as is usual in such cases
will probably go up to the higher
courts on a question of constitution
atty, unless it is decided in favor OF
the defendants in some of the lower
courts. ara5 -a

MAKES THE GUN SILENT.

AGaxim's Ride Muller, Showing TuR-
bIne Veins. and How Attached.
Patents having been obtained on It
in twenty-four countries, Hiram Percy
Maxim gave a demonstration and ex-
PLANTATION yesterday of his silencing
device for rifles before large number
Of representatives of newspaper and
scientific publications. BY the use OF
sandbox target the inventor made
q series of experiments by firing va
riety of rifles, ranging in power from
a twenty-two-caliber up to the new
Springfield thirty-caliber military rifle
They were fired both with and with
out the ''silencer," and the spectators

auditors at the effect of the

show that 90 per cent Of the noise OF

FOURTH DRY-FARM1NG CONGRESS.
Meets at Billings, Montana, October
90, 1909.

The International Exposition of Dry
Farm Products will be held during Con
gress week at Billings Thirteen western
states and territories, two Canadian
provinces, Mexico and Russia will send
exhibits.
Seventeen states and ten foreign
countries will have delegates at this
congress.
In the west 2OO,Ooo,OoO acres of ara
BILE land awaits development by dry
farming methods. Texas has 25,Ooo,-
900; Montana, Colorado and Wyoming,
5O,00o,nnn; New Mexico, Oklahoma,
Utah, Idaho and Arizona over 6o,ooO.-
900.
Experts estimate that in ten years
every drop of water available for irri-
cation will be utilized. For every acre
irrigated there will be so acres of dry
farm land when irrigation possibilities
are exhausted. To this land the future
homeseeker must come.
In 1900 dry farm land in the west
averaged fifty cents to $3.50 an acre,
Increased valuation where dry farming
has been demonstrated shows that with.
in ten years this 2OO,OOO,OOO acres will
be held at $40 to $50 an acre. Dry
farming means an increase in western
land values, at conservative estimate
of approximately five billion dollars
The dry farming congress teaches
farmers haw to conserve moisture by in,
telligent cultivation, educates them in
soil culture and seed selection and
guides inexperienced settlers in methods
that bring them their share of the har
vest profit. It extends the limit OF
producing area to the limit of acreage
in arid and semi-arid regions, and
therefore, is the keystone upon which
the future prosperity of the great west
is established

Mr.. Maxim explained that the prin-

verse of that used in driving boats
with a turbine engine. There is hole

rapid rotary motion to the water 1t is
prevented from escaping through the
vent at the bottom until the motion

mTha GINGERBREAD Man. y

The Spokane theater will offer this
week, Thursday, Friday and Saturday,
the musical comedy entitled "The Gin
gerbread Man." The engagement is
for three night with the probability of
a matinee. This clever piece when it
made its first appearance last year won
admirers with its smart dialogue, unus-
ual comedy and pretty music.
Several new features have been add
ed to the performance this year, it
is said, among which is the introduc-
