SERIOUS
PROBLEM
THE GOVERNOR REALIZES THAT
GREAT DEMANDS WILL BE
MADE ON REVENUE.

In his morning talk with the Capital
reporters today, Governor Frear mus
ed earnestly on the financial problem
facing the Legislature. He even used
the word serious to describe it.
The governor recalled the deficit OF
several years ago, to remedy which
Governor Carter called a special ses-
sion. By cutting down expenses a
small surplus was realized.
"At last session, however" the gov
ernor continued, appropriations were
made in excess of the revenue and
now we are getting close to bed rock.
With the growth of the Territory ex-
penses are increasing and if the ap-
propriations cannot be kept within
the revenue some means of raising
additional revenue should be devised. I"
The governor spoke of the increasing
needs of the schools, both for accom-
mediation and teachers, the salaries OF
teachers now employed not being any
too high.
Some money will be needed" the

RAILROAD
EXTENSION
PREPARING TO BUILD THE LINE
FROM HILO UP THE HAMAKUA
COAST

HILO, January 19-Mr, Kluegel the
engineer charged with the work of
making a new survey for the Hilo
Railroad extension to Hamakua, is not
letting the grass grow under his feet,
and he is now in position to push on
the survey with all dispatch. An eff
cient assistant for him arrived on Sun
day from Singapore, via Honolulu in
the person of Jimmy Sissons, an old
time engineer on this island. Sissons
had to do with the engineering of the
Hilo Railroad, and he also took part,
under HauXhurst, in the first survey
that was made of the extension to
Hamakua. His knowledge and expert
ence of the country should exactly fit
him for taking part in the new survey
now being made.

COL. NORRIS LEASES
The KAHUKU RANCH
HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND ACRE RANCH
HAWAII PASSES INTO NEW H ANDs NORRIS
DENCE AND SAM KAUHANE TAKES A LEASE AND BUYS THE
CATTLE

The lease Of the Kahuku Ranch from
Col. Sam Norris to Sam Kauhane was
filed this morning with Registrar Mer-
riam. 1t states the consideration as
being $4,000 and it gives the lessee the
use of all the land lying mauka of the
government road for five years in
consideration of payment of the taxes
due on the ranch.
HILO, January 19.-Attorney Carl S.
Smith, who returned from Kau dis
trict to Hilo on Sunday, brought with
his news of big transaction that will
have far-reaching effects. His visit to
Kau was on other business; but while
there he incidentally was able to put
through a most important deal, af-
fecting the control of the meat sup
ply from West Hawaii.
Colonel Sam Norris, owner of the
Kahuku ranch, being well advanced in
years and desirous of relieving him
self of some of the arduous work of
managing the property, was found
willing to lease it, Sam Kauhane was
ready to take il Ger and to purchase
the live stock, and in a very short time
the deal was effected and made as
binding as legal documents can make
it,
The agreement is that Kauhane
leases the entire property for five
years, with the exception of the resi-
dence, which Col. Norris reserves for
himself. The whole of the cattle on
the estate, estimated to number about
5000, are purchased by Kauhane, who
thus at once stroke of the pen becomes
one of the largest ranchers in the Ter

HIGH SHERIFF May
SEIZE CITY PROPERTY
JUDGMENT FOR DAMAGES AGAIN ST COUNTY
AND COUNTY LEVY BE MADE ON SOMETHING OF VA
LUE BELONGING MUNICH ALTTY-sIX MONTHS OF


Territorial High Sheriff William
Henry this morning officially called on
City and County Treasurer r. II. Trent
and demanded payment of $3.50 judg-
ment and execution issued by the Cir
cult Court in favor of Mary Costa, the
money being damages awarded the lady
for injuries to her house, occasioned
by heavy blasts sending rocks through
the roof and walls, near the Kalihi
quarry last year.
Judge George A. Davis conducted the
damage suit for Mary Costa and won
out, judgment having been given IN
her favor over six months ago, on
July II, 1908, County Attorney Cath
cart and Deputy County Attorney Mil
verton having appeared on behalf OF
the County against which the suit had
been brought, since the County was
liable for maintaining the particular
nuisance the Kalihi quarry proved to
be at that time.
Although judgment was given over
SIX months ago, tnfOugn one ueldy anu
another the payment was never made
and yesterday Judge Davis, thinking il
was high time Mary Costa got her
money, asked for execution and the
Circuit Court ordered execution to is
sue, the matter naturally finding its
way to the hands of High Sheriff Henry
who forthwith made demand on the
City and County Treasurer, the City
and County, by law, being the success
sor to the County in such liabilities as
in everything else.
Trent at once referred the demand
for payment to City and County Attor'
ney Cathcart and the probabilities ant
that the matter win be settled at once

rival of the package at the Honolulu
postofflce was delayed a day, it is sup
posed from having got into the wrong
box. But, anyway, according to the
United States land office regulations,
personal applications have precedence
over written ones.
Another and stronger reason is that
those who have got the land are prac-
tical farmers, while their late rivals
are engaged in various occupations.

born and brought up on the lands they
now enter upon for their homes. Both

pected that there will be any fight be-
tween the Mayor and the Supervisors.
If, in any way, the City and County
hesitates in the payment of the claim
for which execution has issued, it will
make no difference to the claimant,
Mary Costa. She will get her money,
for the execution issued by the Cir
cult Court orders the High Sheriff to
levy on the property of the City and
County and he is only holding off at
this moment under the assurance or
conviction that the money will be paiu
without levy. If, however, there IS
any hitch, the levy will be made and
the High Sheriff has the right by law
and order of the Circuit Court to seize
and take and carry away and hypothe-
cate and turn to cash anything which
is the property of the City and County
so that he realizes enough to satisfy
the $3.50 claim and the costs of the
action.
The Sheriff has a lot of things to
choose from. He may take fire en-
CINE or couple of fire engines he
may annex a fire horse, or few lines
of fire hose; he may grab the police
patrol wagon or the police motorcycle
or the City and County Sheriff's desk;
he may even walk into the Office of the
Mayor and take away the beautiful
new furniture just purchased, or he
may seize the tables and chairs used
by the Board of Supervisors. In other
words, he may take what he can lay
his hands on, so long as it belongs
to the City and County but it is hoped
he won't have to.

desirable estate.
The Kahuku ranch extends to some
10000 acres, and on account of its
position is the most valuable on that
side of the island. The present pro-
longed drought has hardly affected
Kahuku, while its terrible results have
been severely felt all around. On some
OF the neighboring ranches, quite 80
per cent of the cattle have perished
OF thirst and starvation while the sur
VlVors are lean and comparatively
worthless; whereas, Kahuku, the herds
are in splendid condition and there
has been practically no mortality. The
reason for this is that there is a rainy
belt running through the estate, while
the pasture in the forest lands is al
ways fresh and succulent, even in the
driest weather
The financial particulars of the
transaction are not for publication;
but it is evident that the deal is a
very advantageous one for Kauhane.

people are in regard to these Dor

of attractive ways that they can be
utilized. A lovely dress in shell-pink
foulard with border was handled
very cleverly. Two rows Of the Dor.

dress from neck to hem, but instead
of being brought together their
edges were buttonholed and fastened
down to rather narrow panel OF

growing in the garden it is simple
matter to dig up few roots. They
are not difficult to get. however, from
market men or truckers. AS small
roots as possible should be used.
Give it plenty of water and sun for
at least part of each day. and 1t
will soon come UP and look as pretty
as a fern. Leaves may be cut on

THE cHILD,s BATH.

Some children are timid about ven.

fright comes from being plunged bold
" into water that is either too cold
or too warm. Sometimes this plunge
is accidental. One woman solved the
problem by laying a large Turkish
towel in the tub and providing a
small stool on which the child could
sit part of the time. This was found
very convenient when the little girl
was having her hair washed. Instead
of filling the tub with water. put a
little in. The use of the bath towel
to prevent slipping is also suggested
for elderly persons. especially if you
do not have gum mat for this pur.
