Gould Hang Douthitt.
Attorney Douthitt appeared also in
the interests of All Chow, whose saloon
is on windward Oahu. A petition,
signed by number of residents in the
vicinity of the saloon, protesting
against the renewal of All Chow's IL
cense, has been presented to the Board
and it was with regard to this that
Douthitt confined his oratory. He
stated that the majority of those whose
names were signed to the petition did
not understand its import, and, further
moro, when asked if they would sign
a petition against the granting of a
license to All Chow, replied in the mega
tive.
'Why' saiI Dcuthitt 'sanyone can
get signatures for any kind of petit
ton in this country. III go so far
as to say that l could, inside of fifteen
minutes, get full list of names on a
petition to have me hanged I"
Cries of ''kokua' and "Put nv
name down on the list came from all
parts of the room, especially from the
attorneys present. Laughter reigned
supreme until the Chairman raped for
order.
Applications for licenses from Lewis
Co., the Alexander Young, the Ter
ritorial Hotel Company, and the Oahu
Railway and Land Co, for the Hale
iva Hotel, were brought before the
Board, but there was no discussion pro
or con upon them at the time.

go 900 CRATES OF
BERRIES FROM HOOD RIVER

Hood River, Ore. May 25.-Small
shipments of strawberries are COM
mencing to be brought in and a few
crates have already gone out. The
first berries are bringing IS crate
with many more orders than can be
supplied. The largest shipments from
this section are now being sent out
from Mosier, where the East Hood
River Fruit company Is shipping
about 12 crates a day. This COM
yany has the largest strawberry field
in this section of Oregon, being 33
acres in extent and a little later go
to so pickers will be put at work
gathering the immense crop, which
Is fast ripening.
The berry crop at Hood River this
year is expected to reach $4,000
crates but will be shipped out from
week to 10 days later than last
season. A curiosity in the way Of
Strawberries has been brought into
the city by Thomas Prime, a resident
| Of the Oak Grove district. He exhib-
tied O box of fine fruit grown on
plants that were set last November.
AS berries are not expected to yield
until the second year after they are
planted the fact that those grown by
Mr.. Prime matured so quickly is
thought remarkable. The latter
claims that their quick growth is due
to a new system of cultivation which
| he is using.

Nairobl, May 25.-After spending
Sunday and Monday with Roosevelt

Heatly ranch, am able to vouch for

remained in camp all day Sunday and
Monday went out on buffalo hunt.
We were after a herd of seven, but
rode for hours without getting any
trace of the game. Colonel and Ker-
nit had fine sport shooting smaller
game. Stories that Colonel Roosevelt

Roosevelt will return to Nairobi to-
morrow, to visit Governor Jackson.
He will remain as the guest of the
