From where we are we can see
six dwellings, going up and a
school building which will cost
about $15O,OOO.

The Clark County Clipper pub
lished at Ashland is talking rail-
roads. The editor has received
a letter from the president of the
Winnipeg, Salina & Gulf rail-
road, asking if the people there
would "be interested in securing
a first class trunk line which is
already financed and ready to
begin construction" The line
as proposed would necessarily
traverse Meade county, and if
Meade is after another road this
can no doubt be induced to come
this way. This makes the third
road projected to run through
Meade county. Suppose we get
busy and make Meade railroad
center? Some of our neighbors
will try it If we don't and we
never will have over25,000 popu-
ton.

Mr.. ]. A. Graham,
Sec. Commercial Club,
Dear Sir:-

Replying to your favor asking about
my farming experience at San Benito, l am pleas
ed to inform you that have farmed at San. Benito
for three years. and myself and family all like this
country better than any place we ever lived. We
like the climate and have fine health.
Last year planted 36H acres to Mebane Tri-
umph Cotton and have picked sly 50Opound bales
with some cotton unpicked. This averaged me
$50 per bale including seed, and part of the same
land was used tor a winter garden that cleared me
$1a5 per acre for four months growing season.
This country is in my opinion the best farm
ing country in the United States there IS plenty
of water for irrigating and from my knowledge of
irrigation in this valley l feel sure the farmers
can absolutely depend upon the San Benito Land
& Water Co, IS irrigation system at all times as
there is plenty of water Tor everybody. Labor
is cheap and plentiful. We can grow oranges,
lemons, grapefruit grapes, and all kinds of ber-
ries I always grow two crops of potatoes a year
on account of the season when / market them,
get So 90 to 50 so bushel for them and they yield
as much as the best potato countries.
Yours very truly,
ERNEST MATZ.

What WiIl We Do?

w Hat VIII VIC DO'
Will Meade hold a fair this
fall? This question should be
answered right now, There are
two propositions to be consid-
cred Shall we organize COM
pany and conduct a fair along
regular lines or hold carnival
as last year? There are many
arguments both for and against
each, and only through discus
sion of the subject can the best
method be ascertained. One
thing is certain this institution
must not be lost sight of, and it
must be taken in hand at an
early date. If the farmers know
there will be fair they will take
greater pains to preserve their
best produce for exhibition pur-
poses, and have their stock and
poultry in proper shape for an
exhibit. More time can be taken
to get attractions and we can
offer better class than before,
and the organization can be per-
fected so as to distribute the
work and not let the burden rest
on two or three as has been the
case. We must come to life on
this MISTER and get busy. Get
it in your mind-the time is now.
The Farmers Sale Day idea is
spreading. Abilene will have her
first sale the same day Meade
pulls off her sixth, and fifty busi-
ness firms made special prices.

GUNS MUST
Be REPORTED

In the police court this morning
Kan Kee, the Chinaman who runs a
store at the corner of Piikoi and Bere.
tania streets, was fined $40 by Judge
Monsarrat for failing to furnish the
city and county clerk with a list of
firearms in his possession, as required
by law.
This matter was called to the at
tention of the police last Thursday
and they took commercially prompt
action.
Kan Kee has been in the habit of
supplying the youths of the Makiki
district with .22-caliber rifles and am
munition.
On being asked to plead, defendant
said that if the prosecution thought
he was guilty he would be very
pleased to so plead.
Tell him that the prosecution
doesn't care whether he pleads guilty
or not guilty" exclaimed Prosecuting
Officer Brown.
Kan Kee pleaded guilty and urged
ignorance of the law in eXtenuation of
his offense. 1t transpired, however,
that he was not so ignorant of the
law as not to have registered his own
private revolver. He thought that
only big guns had to be registered and
that small ones didn't matter.
The maximum penalty for this Of
Tense is $500
Eleven japanese gamblers, including
the field marshal who marshals the
plates and dishes at the Grill, were
fined IS and costs.
James Kawehi, charged with assault
and battery on his wife, was fined S.
Judge Monsarrat thought that there
was fault on both sides and tempered
justice with mercy. 1t was only a
slapping case, anyway.
Chang Hung Wong was fined SO and
costs for over-indulgence in samshu

SESSION
FOR SANITATION

It is now generally believed that
the Governor will be urged to call a
special session of the Legislature
sometime early next year, for the
purpose of providing ways and means
for carrying out the plans which are
being formulated. The Special SAM
tary Commission appointed by Joint
resolution of the last legislature, and
of which George r. Carter is chair
man, will make its report before the
end of the year. and it is said that
considerable part of this report will
be i'm form of bills drawn ready for
submission to the legislature. The
commission has been making some
very exhaustive investigations, and
its report will no doubt be a very
valuable outline of what should be
done and how, to make Honolulu q
place which will be reasonably safe
from serious epidemics.

Another business mems sight see
ing trip was conducted yesterday aft
ernoon by Hon. A. f. Judd, who has
this phase of sanitary edu-
cational work during the absence of
President Pratt of the Board of Health.
This was the fourth of these trips,
which have already resulted in the
Chamber of Commerce taking
strong stand in backing up the Board
of Health in its aim to do away with
wet land agriculture and to secure
an efficient system of sewerage for
the city
In order to accomplish these
things, the Board of Health believes
that it must educate public opinion
of the community to a point where
it will not balk at, or consider I'M
necessary any steps which may have
to be taken to accomplish the rene
dies needed.
