HAMAKUA
Lower ditch
SIX HUNDRED MEN WORKING ON
HAWAIIAN IRRIGATION COM
PANY'S BIG PROJECT.

Making the art fly the express
mama Canal, may be used with equal
force in regard to the lower Hamakua
ditch, being built by the Hawaiian r.
rigation company. There are now
over six hundred men at work, at
lacking the big problem of construc-
tlon at various points, from the head
quarters at Kukuihaele to Paauhau
Tunnels are being driven in some
places and in other the bitches and
fumes are being constructed that will
bring general prosperity to that sec
ton of Hawaii when the water begins
to flow and make fertile land which
has been worthless and increase the
profit from other land which has
been partially productive.
Under the charge of Engineer J..
Jorgensen, who was the controlling
genius of the upper ditch, huge tun-
nels, one of them to be 5000 feet in
length and two others of 1900 and 200
feet, are under course of construction
in Waipio Valley, while at the Paau-
hau end of the ditch work is going on
most favorably. No impeachment to
the favorable progress of the work
has been encountered and it is pre-
dicted that the twenty-five miles OF
ditch, which include twenty odd tun-
nels in their length, will be complet-
ed within two wears
/ 1t is expected that the first water
will be used from the new ditch year
from the coming July. This will be
turned on the lands of the Pacific SUI
gar Company and the Honokaa and
Paauhau plantations, From that time
on the work will progress, with more
water being turned on from time tc
time, all of which will make fertile
new land or help to bring larger re-
turns from land now under cultiva
ton.
The total cost of the new ditch ii
estimated at between 100000 anC
$3.50, 900 and large amounts of money
are now beng expended for both la
Dor and materials. The merchants
of this city have felt the work con
siderably through the fact that out
side of the payroll practically all thu
money expended is being spent direct
ly in this city.

A TANGLED WEB OF AFFAIRS BE-
TWEEN ALEXANDER LAZARUS
AND HIS RELATIVES.

A unanimous opinion of the Supreme
Court, written by Chief Justice Hart
wei, decides that a bill in equity TO
declare a trust brought by Alexander
Lazarus against Lena Grace Rosewarne
was properly dismissed by Judge Rob
inson on the evidence. Defendant is
niece of plaintiff, who sought to es-
tablish a trust by parol in his convey
ance to her, April IL, 1905, of a parcel
of land in Honolulu, and in his CON
veyance to her, April %, 1905, of land
at KaupO, Maui, and his bill of sale to
her dated April %, 1905, of a piano.
with certain pictures, chairs. sofas.
rings, bracelets, watch, rugs, bed, cash
register trunks, sewing machine and
tables.
1t was alleged in the bill that Lazarus
had agreed with his niece that he
should appoint her his trustee to take
care of his property and that on ac-
count of his confidence in her he de-
posted with her $1,000 he had saved
and kept buried in the ground and
which, on his attorneys advice, was
afterward paid to his wife in connec-
ton with the settlement of their az
fairs consequent on her securing a
divorce. There was a deal of criss-
cross financing mentioned in the evil
dent, and early in the game the bill
was dismissed as to Maria Andrade,
who was shown to have bought GER
tain land without knowledge of any
trust.
Lazarus testified that his sister told
him TO turn his property over to his
niece to manage because he was "a
drinking man" who would be busy
and go off on a spree" etc. He signed
the papers at the Office of J. ]. Dunno,
Assistant U. S. District Attorney. He
had not known that his niece claimed
the land until he heard that it was
sold to a Portuguese. On one meet
ing with his relatives he told them he
had $1,000 in gold he had buried under
ground-under the house in which he
lived with his wife" When he made
arrangements for the divorce Dunno
told him that if he would pay the $1,000
he could recover his property His
niece returned the money to him al
DUNES Office and he paid it to his
wife, who as plaintiff said, would
have no further claim on his property.
The only witness corroborating the
plaintiff was always called a loo (lum-
says, lis Clark who testified that the
plaintiff was always called ollo (hum-
moX), and that he heard a talk be.

going to be a trust deed between them
Antoine Manuel, messenger of the
Federal court who drew the bill OF
sale; Mrs. Juen, the plaintiffs sister
and the defendant all testified against
the claim. In conclusion the Supreme
Court says: The least we can say
about the case is that the bill was not
sustained by the evidence and was
properly dismissed"

Omaha, Neb., March 5.-While try

jeweler, a necklace valued by local
jewelers. at $4,000. John d. Selavini-
tbs, Greek, who for the convenience
of American ways calls himself SAWS,
was arrested by the Omaha police.
The necklace consists of a single
string of 63 pearls, carefully matched
and fastened with clasp set with a
diamond of unusual size.
Saws entered the jewelry store and
presented single pearl, which he Of
fered to sell Assuring himself of its
/ genuineness Mr.. Edholm gave him a
valuation of $50 or $50. whcTeupon
the Greek offered to sell him a dozen
at $40 each, but said a friend had
them. By a ruse the jeweler succeed
ed in notifying the police, and two de-
tectives were sent to the store, where
the man was arrested. In his posses
sion was found a large revolver, but
he made no resistance At the sta
tion a search revealed the entire
necklace, which he was carrying in
his pocket. 1t was found that the
gem offered for sale was the smallest
of the 63.
The police had received from the
New York police department the de-
scription of the necklace which was
said to have disappeared from the

for similar necklaces, hoping thereby
to get an idea of the value of the Jew

cents to thousands OF dollars. He
says it is the custom in his country
for the finder OF valuables to receive
one-third of their worth, and he
thought the owner would make
known his or her loss if the necklace
was valuable. Not learning of any

THEODORE ROOSEVELT

Mr.. Roosevelts courage in the ex

interest in the welfare of the boo.
man, of the man who has great oh
lstacles to meet and who has the odd
against him in life's struggle, anC
the sincerity of his desire to hel,
that class of men, no one who eve
had TO do with him could doubt; ant
his lnsistence has always been tina
the difficulty between the so-calleC
classes in the country and the fail
ure Of educated lawyers and politica
economists and others to bring about
proper relations between the WELT,
do and those who are dependent upol
wages for their living, arise from al
absence Of proper point of view on
the part of those who are leading
comfortable lives. The confidence
that the common, plain people, in
Guiding the wage-earners, have had
IN Theodore Roosevelt as their rep
resentative and defender has been
most perfectly placed; for there new
er was a champion more sincere in
support of their real interests, and
yet there never was a friend frankel
in his statement to them of the un-
pleasant truths that occasionally
they ought TO be told. Mr.. Roose-
welt understands the plain people
about as well as Lincoln did, shares
their feelings, and gives accurate ex-
preston to them. Hence his marve-
lous hold upon the great body of the
people, which has continued to exist
in undiminished strength in spite of
the criticism heard of him and his
methods in quarters more conspic-
uous than really significant.
When the friction of the last few
months shall be forgotten. when the
mists of momentarv irritation shall
have disappeared, the greatness of
Theodore Roosevelt as President and
leader Of men in one of the great
moral movements of the country's
history will become clear to every
one and he will take his place in his
tory with Washington and LincoIn.z-

THE SACRIFICE OF OUR
BASE BALL DIRECTORS

The action Of the directors of the
Winchester Base Ball Club in cutting
out Sunday baseball here and else
where discloses a spirit of self-sacri-
flee and surrender of personal pref
erences for the sake of the con-
scientious scruples of others that is
as rare as it is beautiful. Every cit
izen of Winchester should read the
"Open Letter" of the directors of the
Winchester Base Ball Club, which is
published in this issue; and then they
should ponder over what ii means
to these directors to cut out the
playing of Sunday ball by our team
not only here, but in the other towns.
1t was not so hard to refrain from
it here and that was decided upon
some weeks ago, though there were
a number of officers and stockholders
who did not think it wrong; but when
Lexington, Frankfort and Paris de-
cided to have Sunday games and the
schedules were made up providing for
our playing there, great pressure was
brought to bear upon our club to play
with them in those towns.
In addition to this, the profits of
the Sunday games are very large.
We understand that Winchester has
already been offered large sum for
her share of the gate receipts of her
first Sunday game at Lexington.
With Sunday ball, not here, but in
games elsewhere, the clubs financial
success was assured, as well as a
snug nest-egg for the next year.
Without 1t there was a deficit Of at
least 81 400 in sight. Then, too, it
was plausible argument that, so
long as there was no Sunday playing
In Winchester, there was no wrong
in our club simply playing in other
towns, which were going to play any
how, and especially since the players
themselves didNp MOT object
Yet in the face Of these conditions.
and with full knowledge that the f.
nancial loss would fall upon them,
the directors of the Winchester club,
in Difference to the wishes of num-
Der of the Christian people, of this,
the greatest church-0oing town in
Kentucky, have unanimously decided
that there shall be no Sunday ball,
so far as the Winchester team is con
cerned, either here or elsewhere.
This paper wishes to express its
hearty approval and endorsement of
this spirit of Difference, displayed for
the conscientious scruples of others,
and it wishes everybody to know and
note the names Df these directors.
They are w. R. Thomas. B. d. Golf,
R. W. RounsavaIl, W. II. Hodgkin, B.
