FREIGHT MUST BE PAID
ON STATE FAIR EXHIBITS
Wright Law Makes No Exempa
tion for Commodities

SACRAMENTO, April 2a.-It has
been discovered that the Wright rail-
road law, which was enacted by the
last legislature. does not exempt ex-
hibits from the payment of freight to
and from the state fair, although it
has been the custom OF the Southern
Pacifc company for years to encourage
such shows of products by transporting
them without cost.
If some loophole can not be found
by which the law may be evaded. it is
likely to have depressing effect upon
the state fair here in August
Appeal will be made to the state
rene9a n tbe Zone that IN bro ro,s ;.oIney s
some Interpretation Of the law may
be hit upon that will exempt exhibits
in which there is no profit from the
freight rates collected for the regular
commodities OF commerce.

WHITEWASH WITH
THE SPRAY PUMP
BY w. H. Underwood.

1t is generally understood that many
OF the most disastrous diseases that
come to our herds of live stock are
caused by germs of one kind or an
other that may remain dormant for
years in litter about the stables Such
are hog and calf cholera, lump jaw,
navel Ill, infectious abortion, tubercu-
losis, etc. There are also parasites
that infest the barns which cause barn
itch, scab. mango and kindred dis
eases. 1t is, therefore. OF the utmost
Importance that the barns be made
clean and kept as clean as possible
In cleaning the stables go over the
boards and walls with stiff brush or
broom to remove the cobwebs, dirt
and litter that is attached to them.
have seen stables where the ceilings
were so festooned with cobwebs that
the boards above were almost hidden
from view. Such accumulations are
filled with millions OF germs, many Of
which are disease promoters
Having cleaned the boards and
walls as suggested. then give them a
thorough dressing OF some dependable
sheep dip, and then one of lime and
salt.
A spray pump Is an Ideal implement
with which to apply the lime and salt
mixture. but cheap brush or an old
broom will answer the purpose very
well. Lime and salt are cheap, so do
not be too stingy with them. l would
suggest stacking at least half bushel
of fresh lime. with hot water, in bar
rel and afterward add sufficient water
to the mixture so that 1t will spread
evenly and easily. The addition OF a
half gallon of salt will make the white
wash stick to the boards and stone
walls. 1t is an advantage to apply the
lime and salt mixture while it is still
hot, especially during cold weather.
1t is very necessary that the barns
and outbujldings be given this cleans
ing before the live stock go into win
ter quarters. 1t will add to the ap-
pearance of the buildings and also be
of very great assistance In maintain
ing the health of the live stock.

SEEKS PAY FOR LAND
Ex-ouEEN LII OF HAWAII ASKS
MONEY OF CONGRESS-.
10 Child Of Royal Line and Traces An
cestry Back TO Princess Who
First introduced Christianity
Among Her Subjects.

Washfngton.-Queen Liliuokalani
former ruler OF the Hawaiian islands
who is still endeavoring to collect
from the United States for the so
called crown land which became public
property when this, country took pos
session of the islands nearly Is years
ago. appeared before the house com
mittee on laws the other day to urge
her claim.
The queen has no legal claim Of any
kind, and she and her relatives have
at last been forced to concede this.
They are now appealing to the gener-
osity of the American people on the
ground that the former head of an in.
dependent nation which was absorbed
by this great country should have a
fitting income entirely aside from the
contributions of friends and former
subjects.
The former queen has aged s
great deal in the last few years and
broad white streaks have appeared ia
her coal black hair. There are wrin,
kles in the brown face of the woman
who, when she first appeared is Wash.
lngton was unanimously voted to be q
decidedly beautiful II dusky matron.
When the queen was dispossessed,
what was then known as the crown
lands amounted to about 1.000.Jo0
acres. According to local residents
these lands were in no sense the prop
erty of the monarch. but belonged to
the state. and properly were turned
The Elbert County tribune., 1909-02-11

over first to the republic. then to the
United States, and then reverted back
to the territory as ordinary public
lands. The queen and her followers
always have contended that these
lands were private property belong
Ing to the reigning family. When she
was driven from the throne her in.
come from this source amounted to
about $65,000 annually in addition to
public fund of $4,000 a year for
/ maintaining the royal household.
Since that time the deposed queen
and her friends and associates have
pressed vainly their claim for recon.
pense before one congress after an.
other. The present value of these
lands is something over $40, ZOO. 900,
but the queen has now scaled down
her claim to the point where she is
willing to compromise for about $3.50.
/ 900 in hard cash There is a growing
feeling in favor of generous action to.
ward the former queen, whose years
are now fast declining and many
statesmen say bonus direct to her
would be worth a good deal more than
the money involved, because of the
good impression II would create among
the Hawaiian part of the population
of the islands.
Liliuokalani is direct descendant
OF one Of the most picturesque char.
acters In the history of Hawaii. whose
story has been told in a Thousand
missionary meetings and sent broad.
cast in million Sunday school vol.
umes She is, In fact, a great-grand.
niece of Kapiolani, the island princess
or female chief, who did more than
any other person to bring the natives
to Christianity.
1t was Kapiolani who dared to pluck
the sacred berries which grow at the
brink of the crater of Kilauea. The
natives had been taught that a person
who picked those berries would surely
die most horrible death because of
the supposed sacrilege directed
against the goddess Pele. KapioIani
not only gathered the sacred berries.
rfskfng her life in securing them. but
she led a picturesque procession of
her retainers. some 200 in number,
down to the lake of fire below the rim
of the crater. With opened hymn
book, singing praises to the God of
the new Christian cult, she defied Pele
and threw the sacred berries into the
burning lake. or course nothing hap
pened, and the supposed sacrilege was
not punished in any way.
Pele as an awe inspiring deity was
compelled TO go out OF business and
the simple natives fiocked to the Chris.
tian standard fully. convinced that
new God had arisen who would sure,
ly punish unless he were followed
with praise and thanksgiving. This
was the beginning of the extraordi-
nary conversion of the simple island
ers. the like OF which probably never
has been seen or heard before or
since in the history Of missionary
effort
