Colorado State GRANGE.

Denver.-Reports of officers of the
Colorado State Grange. made at its
opening meeting Tuesday afternoon,
show that its growth during the past
year has been greater than ever before
in its history in Colorado. The treas
ury is in better condition than ever be-
fore. One thousand new members were
added to the association last year,
making grand total of 1900 and
establishing firmly the grange's stand
ing. Two years ago it was in a weak
condition. All this in face of tire fact
that State Master John Morris says
last year was the hardest that the av-
erage Colorado farmer has faced in
his twenty-eight years of experience in
that business. The attendance at this
meeting is 300, another record-breaker.

TREASURY RAID
SHOWS UP TODAY
Increased Liabilities of the
City and County Are
Large.

Nearly $4,000 more will be paid out
in fixed salaries by the City and Coun-
ty Of Honolulu today than at any time
since the county was organized. Of
this amount, part goes to cover the
increases in salary granted certain city
and county officials and their ass; St
ants, part goes to pay the incumbents
of new offices created by law, and a
part is to meet the obligations in the
way of salary placed upon the county
by the last Legislature.
The laws turning over certain fune-
tions formerly exercised by the Ter
ritory, to the City and County of Homo
lulu, and increasing the pay of certain
county officers, went into effect on July
1, so this month IS batch of payrolls is
the first to fall under these laws.
The attaches of the Aud tors office
have been busy for days getting the
salary warrants ready, and by 8 o clock
this morning officials and salaried EN-
ployes may call at the City Hall and
get their pay slips.
The largest individual item that goes
to swell the payroll this month, is that
of 1915 fer the City Physician, Plumb
ing Inspector and other officials of the
county's health department. Then the
County Jail payroll amounts to 1865.
This is exclusive of the $3.50 that goes

SHERIFF RICE OF
kauai IN P|ukIA

Sheriff Rice of Kauai is in plenty
of pilikia. He has prisoner but no
place to put him. He can't put him
in jail because there isn't Jail on
Kauai that can be depended upon to
hold him. He doesn't want to take
him home to board because the rest
of the family might object, though
probably the prisoner wouldn't. He
can It stand guard over him out in a
vacant lot all day and all night. In
fact, he doesn t know just what he
can do And it's all the fault of the
Kauai legislative delegation, too, which
makes it all the harder to bear.
Among other provisions in the acts
passed by the last legislature to turn
over more power, authority and dig
nifty to the counties, is one which says
that each county shall have Jail of
its own. and shall keep its own pris-
oners in such Jail. But Kauai is so
good ordinarily, of course, that it
u0eSn CIUeH nave any u6eu LUZ a
Jail. Jealous people, who live in less
favored spots, are mean enough some
times to say that Kauai might have
more frequent use for an institution
of that kind if the keepers of her
blind pigs were arrested now and then,
but, of course, that's mere quibbling,
and anyway it's neither here nor
there.
But just now Kauai has one really
bad prisoner, accused of no less a
crime than murder. He is Fukawara.
And he it is who is causing Sheriff
Rice to tear his hair and wish that his
brother Charles and Senator Fairchiid
and the rest of the bunch, had for
gotten all about that Jail provision
when they were making laws. For he
doesn't know what he is going to do,
unless he handouts Fukawara to him
self and goes about with him until the
trial. as if they were a pair of Siamese
twins
The Sheriff thought yesterday that
he had solved the problem when he
sent wireless to the Attorney Gen
eral asking that he be allowed to send
Fukawara to Honolulu for safekeeplng
in High Sheriff Henry's boarding

CARRYING PLANS
UP TO CAMPBELL
Special Agent Is Arranging for
Transportation of
immigrants.

By the next mail from the Coast the
Board of immigration expects letter
from A. J. Campbell announcing that
he has signed the contract for bring
ing Portuguese immigrants here.
Campbell's visit to London was for the
purpose of comforting with Pierson, the
great English shipping magnate, in re-
gard to the matter, and the fact that
he has eabled nothing is taken by mem
bers of the board to mean that all is
well.
1t is through Pierson that the con-
tract has to be made. The Atlantic
steamers come directly under his con-
troll, and he is also the English repre-
sentative of the Americana Hawaiian
Steamship Company.
On the result of the conference with
Pierson depends the route which the
Portuguese immigrants will take in
COmlHS 10 hawaii. SHOuI0 ali DeSOJId-
tons be successfully completed, the
Portuguese will be brought by way Of
Tehuantepee, making the trip across
the Pacific in American-Hawaiian
steamers, Should the deal fall through
for any reason or other, the old prac-
tice of chartering a ship and bringing
the people through the straits will be
followed.
When asked yesterday concerning the
status of affairs as far as his compa-
ny is concerned, Percy Morse, local
representative Of the American Hawai-
ian Steamship Company, stated that he
had received no late advices and does
not know how the negotiations have
terminated nor whether they have
terminated.
Should the deal be closed with Pier
son. the American Hawaiian win at
once begin equipping such ships, as are
needed for carrying immigrants, with
