Moves for Dismissal.

After a recess the state rested. Mr..
Jockey made a motion that the de
PENDANT be discharged and that the
testimony OF Messrs. Ramsey, Farrell,
Towne and Regain be eXpmged from
the records on the ground that it has
no connection with the material facts
in the case He also moved for the
dismissal of the complaint, setting
forth that it fails to state a cause of
action and that no offense has been
committed. He argued that there
was not one scintilla of evidence to
show that the resolution by which the
senatorial committee was created was
egal and that if the committee was
not legal it had no authority to swear
Witnesses He said that the district
attorney also failed to show that the

ed that if the committee fails to
convict Senator Stephenson of corrup7
ton, Wagner can not be convicted for
perjury.

Every one of the big logs to be uset
in the erection of the Forestry build
ing on the grounds Of the Alaska
Yukon Pacific exposition at Seattle
this year will contain between 10000
and $4,000 feet Of board measure, OF

be located in the Machinery hall and
all known woods will be tested to de-
termine their carrying strength to the
breaking point. Similar experiments
will ba4made with all kinds of build
ing stones for the first time at an in

finished condition will also be dis
played and dsthere will be many sam
pies showing flooring, paneling, cell
ing work and other uses to which
wood is put to decorate the interior
of residence and office buildings.
When completed the Forestry
building at the Seattle exposition will
be one of the largest log houses ever
build in the world and will be one OF
the most attractive buildings on the
grounds Of the 1909 exhibition. The

held at Denver, January 18th to 23rd.
The men who are putting up the
money to make these exhibition pos

people, but to educate them. They
know that the future of this country
will depend upon agriculture, and
hat agriculture will depend upon
live stock. We must develop our
farms to their greatest productive
capacity instead of depicting them.
Live stock agriculture is the secret

purpose Of interesting the people In

of the soil and the production OF
meat. 1t is necessary to make these

MANY TROOPS DESTINED FOR
HAWAII.
Army and Navy Forces En- Route and
Being Provided for VIII Double
White Population.

| HONOLULU, Hawaii, Jan. 5.-The
white white population of Honolulu
will probably be almost doubled by
the time Uncle Sam gets his full
quota of troops stationed here for the
defense of the territory. AT the
present time there are probably not
more than five or six thousand Amer
leans, English and Germans, COM
bined here, and from announced plans
for the garrisoning of the island there
will within another year or SO be al
most that number Of soldiers.
BY the middle of this month there
will have arrived here a battalion Of
marines (probably 800 men) and two
squadrons OF cavalry (500 or 600
mem. Quarters are being provided
as well for full regiment Of infantry
and one Of light artillery (about
1900 mem. About 100 men OF the
engineer corps are already here.
Not less than 1900 men will be re-
quired to man the various great sea-
coast batteries now being built; while
between 1900 and 1000 civilian ar
tisans and mechanics will soon be
brought here to work on the con-
struction of the great navy yard and
dry dock at Pearl Harbor.
This makes an aggregate of about
5000 men, to which must also be
added several hundred more In the
hospital corps, signal corps, and brig
ade staff officers. The families OF
the married officers, men, and civil
lian employees will scarcely be less
than one or two thousand.
From these figures 1t is easy to see
that Honolulu's population will be In
creased by probably between 5000
and 5000, without exceeding the
bounds Of conservatism.

ELEVATOR COMPLETED.
The new elevator that has been /

The new elevator that has been in
course of construction here since the
latter part of August is just receiving
the finishing touches, and is now
ready for operation. Reference has
been made to it by this paper num-
Der of times while it was being built.
We can only add now that it's capacity
is about 100000 bushels, that the
power is furnished by large gasoline
engine capable Of elevating 1900
bushels an hour, and that 1t Is mod
ern in every respect. 1t has eighteen
bins for grain, twelve of which hold
5000 bushels each, and six that hold
5000 bushels each. They extend
from top to bottom of the high part
of the building, and are made of
2x6 scantlings laid flat one upon an
other and spiked down. The grain is
elevated to the top and dropped in.
When it is drawn out it is drawn
from the bottom by means of an
auger-shaped device that draws the
grain into the great hopper for weigh
ing or runs it to the cleaner or to
some other bin as may be desired.
The grain is unloaded from wagons
by the dump device that saves the
necessity of shoveling it.
In the stone part of the building
the potatoes are stored.
The plant is under the management
of Alan Kundert, man of expert
ence in the elevator business who un-
derstands every detail of the work.
