THAT SPECIAL SESSION.

1t may be essential that the State
Of Oregon recall its Legislature, but
if anyone thinks that the men who
saw their pet measures and schemes
60 down at the regular session are
going to remain inactive, and simply
vote to correct the blunders Of some
other fellows, they are counting with
out their host.
We should ike to see the laehes
made good in every instance, all OBJ
vious mistakes cured and the depart
mental work of the State put on work
ing basis; and would be glad if it
could be done in a business-like way,
with an early adjournment to empha-
size the business end of it; but We
are sorely afraid Of the reactionaries.
They have too much to make good.
to get even on, and to fight for. 1t is
hardly possible they win forgo the
opportunity. If they insist, there is
no way to choke them of, the Legis-
lature may not be prorouged arbitra-
rily. Our new Republican Governor,
with all the access Of authority that
has fallen to him, still lacks that ex-
ceedingly valuable prerogative; and
If the solons are summoned in extra
session, the people may as well make
up their minds that the gamut Of par
Iiamentary tactics will be run in the
endesvor to revive and pass every
thing that failed in January and Feb
ruary.

1t is strange that the policies Of
prohibition and local option, as ap-
piled to the liquor question, have pas
sed from the status of mere ethical
propositions, to become issues of COM
munal and personal defense. And not
so strange, either, when it is remem-
bered that the worst of the liquor
dealers, and patrons, have begotten
the sentiment There is day OF rec
koning for all who deliberately insist
on doing the wrong thing; and not
alone in the realm of liquor.

by bomb about midnight. The front

PUBLIC LANDS.

The control of the public lands OF Hawaii Is vested In
dtons imposed by Congress In the Organic Act under
which the Territory is constituted. The Governor.
through the OF Public Lands has the power
to lease and sell lands under various conditions OF home
steading and steps are now being taken to open up
number OF tracts In lots OF about forty to American
settlers under easy conditions.
Although the law provides a number OF systems by
which the lands be disposed Of the Governor has the
present time special form agreement is being used
which has proved most satisfactory to everybody makes
the Territory largely against spectators Land opened

out interest for the first ten years Ave per cent
entry and two years later asecond Ave cent is due
Thereafter Ave per cent is required to be paid
The homesteader cannot receive patent In less than
ten years but at the end Of that time make all his
payments, and receive a patent In fee simple.
Five years residence the property is necessary TO
secure te but the settler may spread this over
first ten years II he DESIRES thus permitting him to get
his land to producing income before being required to
He is also required by his agreement to have at least
per cent OF his arabic land under cultivation within
each succeeding year until he shall have at least nifty per

agreement requires that when portion OF settlers land
is OF this character he shall be required plant II In
reesnve trees per acre within the first two years. and
nve additional per acre each succeeding until total
OF twenty-five per acre have been planted .'.
Except in the length Of time required for residence
and 10 obtain patent the conditions OF the Hawaiian
law Is In every way easier for the bona de settler than
are the Federal Homestead Laws. The Land Commits

extend time OF payments, OF cultivation, tree

the administration and OF public sentiment in the Terri
tory to have the lands occupied by prosperous American
citizens insures the most liberal and helpful interest

Another feature, which is not part of the Federal
laws and which should appeal most strongly to the
homeseeker is the provision applying to foreitures II

WHAT HAWAII OFFERS TO THE MAINLAND FARMER

The farmer whose experience has had entirely In
temperate climate may wonder what he has to expect
in subtropical country like Hawaii. Such man natur-
ally hestaes to sever his connections with friends and
with the familiar conditions under which he has lived
from boyhood The facing OF new conditions In an un-
familiar country may seem serious undertaking. We
have conditions, however, which should appeal to large
raise in Hawaii all of the vegetables, most Of the field
crops, and of the fruits with which he is familiar
on the mainland In addition to these crops which con-
stute the agriculture of his experience he raise the
innumerabe tropical fruits which are found In Hawaii
and many or all, of the domestic animals.
Our climate should appeal to many welcome relief
from the sudden and trying changes OF temperature
severe for the white farmer 10 do manual labor and
the joy OF being able to live OF doors practically the
with which the mainland farmer is familiar, mature In
labout the same time or more quickly with us than on
the mainland Tropical crops, however. are slow in
maturing and those who intend to In the cuva
ton of rubber slsa, Manila hemp coffee avocado or
pineappes, should have sufficient means to tide them
lover the period during which he must wait for returns
Fortunately in most Of these crops the soil will also
tain rapidly maturing crops between the rows of the slow
maturing plants. The insect troubles with which we
must contend In tropical climates, very annoy
Ing at first but as experience accumulates they no
more nsuperabe than similar pests of temperate elm
ates An unusual amount of work has been done in the
Introduction and propagation of parasites with most
striking results and the hope is confidently
that all of serious pests may be controlled In this
manner with the assistance OF artificial treatment The
agricultural problems Of Hawaii differ from those ON the
mainland, but difficult TO the who comes
armed with intelligence and possessed Of energy.

priations stan of trained men occupied In solving

A GAS Lax.
After Results That May Come From
Hunting It With a Light.

After Results That May Come From
Hunting u With a LIGHT.
The folly Of hunting for a leak in a
gas pipe with a lighted match is not
so much because Of the danger Of an
explosion as Of other damage as is
shown by the, experience of house
holder not long ago
One or two small leaks were detect
eG by going over all the pipes and
holding lighted match to them. The
smell Of gas ceased, but was replaced
few hours later by the smell of burn
ing wood
Another visit to the cellar showed a
charred floor jOst a little distance
above Il gas pipe. There was no ap-
parent cause for this until very close
examination resulted in the finding Of
4 tiny jet Of gas which was issuing
from the pipe beneath the beam
1t was lighted, but was so small as
TO be blue in color and nearly invisi-
bic. 1t had been lighted by the match
used in the first investigation. but had
not been noticed.
IF that leak had happened to be in
lead joint instead of an iron connec.
ton, said a gas man, there would
probably have been work for the fire
brigade. The smallest possible jet of
lighted gas issuing through lead will
in time heat and melt the lead and
make the leak larger until a big fame
Is issuing.
This may make fire hours later
in the dead of night or at time when
40 one is in the house. The only prop
er way to look for these very small
leaks is to paint the suspected pipe
with smooth soap lather. Just as in
the case of a bicycle tire, the tiniest
leak will blow bubble In the lather.
