the board of education has called a
meeting of the school district to vote
on the proposition of bonding To build
a new Central school house. The date

taken care of. The vote should be

LINK UNCORKS HIS JUG.
To CONDEMN
MAHUkA SITE
Frear and KuhiO Cable to Wash
ington to Start the
Proceedings.

Governor lFrear and Delegate Kuhio
yesterday morning sent a cablegram to
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
Hills suggesting that he go ahead with
condemnation proceedings to acquire
the rest of the Mahuka site for the
federal building This cablegram, said
Governor Frear yesterday afternoon,
was based on the belief that the ap-
preparation secured by Cupid for the
purchase of the entire block is amply
sufficient, and on the additional fact
that, as matters stand, the question of
the site can not be arranged by private
agreement.
Governor F'rear takes the ground
that, under the present law, land is
assessed at its actual value. The as
sessed value of the additional property
needed is but $224,000. The sum OF
100000 has been added and If woulI
seem that this should be amply sufii-
Gent for the purpose of acquiring the
property needed. The matter of
good will the Governor does not
think should be taken into considera-
ton, especially in view of the fact
! that some of the land has for a long
time been lying idle
The owners of the property claim
amounts aggregating about a half a
! million dollars, and it is expected that
they will vigorously contest any at
tempt TO condemn the property at less
valuation.

Quinn got up on his hind legs and said
that gang of men mad been ordered up
that region to clean the cutters out at

Brigadier Edward Davis, U.S.A., re-
tired, wrote the board that he was
building a house at the end Of the
Kapiolani Park for his daughter and he
wanted electric lights so he wouldn :
have to walk from house to house with
a lantern in his hand. This also will

THE DAYS DO|NGS ON
THE STOCK EXCHANGE

The sudden decline which the stock
market experienced Monday was con
tinued yesterday when further drops in
quotations were generally noted
Pioneer and Hilo common both appear
cd for the frst,ttime during the week
the first two and half and the other
one point lower Waialua on three off
board sales dropped another quarter.
Oahu Sugar, however, continues to
sell at the same steady figure of $3.50
which under existing circumstances.
seems TO lie equivalent to raise, and
proves that the stock was worth more
than its present quotations under for
mer conditions.
One sale in bonds noted a drop in
the bond list also, $4,000 in Honolulu
Rapid Transit moving at 106, a point
lower than the last previous sale.
The general decline is ascribed to a
combination of two things, the eno.-
nous European beet sugar crop for the
year and the falling price of sugar.
Austria s increased production combin-
ed with that of Germany has raised
the European crop TO 100000 pounds
against the 100000 of last year.

the board Of supervisors from being al

Quinn suggested a meeting at 8 D..
m. today. But all this. was changed
when Mcclellan showed mp and Logan
moved that all previous doings Of the
evening be eXpunged from the records
and a new dispensation be recorded
There was some talk, of course. as to
whether it would be legal to call an
other meeting after the minority had
agreed to adjourn until three O'Clock
today, but Logan S motion carried and
all else was forgotten except a new
meeting
Therefore it may with truth be said
that there were two meetings of the
board of supervisors held last evening.
one of the minority and one of the
majority; also that a supervisoriaI
leourtship was responsible for the break
ing up Of the first meeting. Supervisor

forthwith exPunged from the records,
which was done.
The matter of adjournment was a
pretty contest. Quinn said something
about meeting at noon today, but Logan
declared that he could not, or would not
be present at any meeting that would
be held at noon, and for a very good
reason, though he did not say so, and
that is that he is editor of the Hawaii
an Star and noon happens to be the
busiest hour of the day with him. AHA
also stated that he did not know when
he would be able to attend a meeting,
for the reason that he was captain of
the national guard and that he was tied
up with that duty, and he was hanged
II he was going to ask any more favOrs
of Colonel Bullarl to let him off. If
they cOuldn I have a meeting there and
then, well, then AHA didn't know
when he would be able to be present.

gested that it was little too much to
ask supervisor, to. be present Oh his

RABBIT BOUNTY ASKED.
Harney County Farmers Suffer Heavy
Losses.

Burns.-The Burns Commercial Club
has started a movement to secure an
enactment by the next legislature pass
ing a small bounty on jack rabbits.
This at first glance may appear ride
ulous, but the jack rabbit pest is a
serious proposition in this part of Ore
gon. The sage brush plains are alive
with them and successful cultivation
of gardens, fruit trees, alfalfa and even
grain has been an impossibility the past
two seasons on account of their raw
ages.
The new settlers. who have been
numerous the past two years, and the
old settlers as well, have been greatly
discouraged in their efforts at raising
crops on account of the devastation
wrought by the rabbit pest. For the
protection of orchards and gardens
wire netting fences have been erected
at heavy expense, but the rabbits dig
under them and when built at the or
binary height, which is supposed to
shut out the rabbits, they soon learn to
jump over. The counties of Crook,
Lake, Grant and Malheur will also be
asked to join in the movement for a
bounty, so as to encourage extermina-
tion of the rabbits.

SHEEP MEN TO MEET SOON.
Wool Tariff to Be Discussed at Ma
tional Convention in Portland.

Time is drawing near for the opening
Of the annual convention of the Ma
tional Woolgrowers' Association, to be
held in the Oregon National Guard ar
mory January 4, 5, 6 and 7. And as
time grows nearer interest increases.
This convention will be one of the larg-
est and most important ever held on
the Pacific Coast, the woolgrowers be-
ing men of large interests.
How to prevent change in the tariff
will be live subject at the convention.
No one knows what the next congress
Will bring forth in the way of tariff
legislation, but the woolgrowers are as
much concerned as anyone. Schedule
A. they fear, is due for revision and
owing to the changed membership of
the next congress they are afraid this
schedule will not be in the hands of
its friends.
"The wool complexion Of the next
congress is as clear as mud" said a
prominent woolgrower. He believes the
coming convention will be the time for
all wool men to rally to the defense of
the industry They fear that the very
life of the sheep business is at stake
and expect some coneerted action to
be taken at this meeting. This issue
will be of paramount Importance at the
convention and will undoubtedly oc-
cupy more time than any other matter
throughout the sessions. Because of the
wide interest in the subject among wool
growers the attendance promises to be
very large.

French Government Takes Steps to Hn

Paris.--The text Of the government
measures formulated for the purpose of
preventing general strikes with partic.
ular reference to the employees Of the
public service corporation was made
public here.
The measures constitute comprehen.
Sive plan for ending the strike evil on
the railroads and in other public service
by means of conciliation commission
composed of representatives of the men
and companies. The commission will
meet at regular intervals, and when
conciliation fails, compulsory arbitra-

corporation can indicate the method
whereby the railroad or other service
