MILLS FIGHT
Continued from Page One)

as he expected to 80 away on Decem-
Der ,, it would be impossible for him
to hear the case. He therefore trans
ferred it to Judge Whitney. 1t IS
understood, however, that the latter
is very averse to trying the case and
it may deyolve upon Judge Cooper to
handle it,
Mills suggested that he was in no
hurry, that the judge would probably
be back by Washington's birthday
and that in the meantime the hired
Hessians" of the Board of Health
would have enough to occupy them in
destroying all the prosperous banana
plantations of Honolulu, Judge Rob
inson, however, said he could not take
judicial, notice of the fact that the
Board of Health had brought in hired
Hessians to do its work He thought
it would be better to hand the matter
over to Judge Whitney for hearing.
If the court sustains Mills excep-
tons, it will virtually knock out all
the important part of the respond
ents' answer.
The respondents, in their answer,
deny that Mills banana plants are in
clean, healthy and sanitary condi-
ton, free from insects. and they aver
that all banana plants within the city
of Honolulu are dangerous to public
health and to the health of persons
residing within $50 feet of such
plants, for the reason that such plants
hold water long enough to form a
breeding place for mosquitoes, and do
breed the stegomyia or day mosquito.
They tell of the Ahupoko incident,
claiming therefrom that unless the
stegoymia be exterminated there may
be a yellow fever epidemic that will

fine ART
EXHIBIT Open

Some forty-odd large and small
paintings are now being exhibited 70
the public in the parlors of the Young
Hotel by the artist, Miss Evelyn
Almond Withrow of San Francisco.
Miss Withrow has studied for many
years in Munich and i'm Paris and
later had a studio in London.
The paintings should be seen by nh
who love or have the least interest
in art, as they are characterized by
remarkable coloring and delicacy Of
technique
The painting occupying the place OF
honor is a full lvngth picture entitled
Life It can be no better described
than by this stanza, composed by the
artist:
Life is a Spiral-now warm, now
cold,
Unstable as filmy gauze.
The golden Moment like Hair that
floats
With never a Moments pause.
Ambition, a Bubble of radiant hue
Enmeshed in the Futures veil.
Fire-Experience and Mystery's
Smoke.
Halos Lies wondrous Pale.
The Mirror a Symbol of Acts IN
known
Impressed on the World as it
swings.
Our Hearts reflections in Word and
Deed,
With their Gold or Leaden wings. -
An especially fine portrait of the
artists friend, the famous iurist of
San Francisco, Judge William p. Law,
Ter. is on exhibition.
For those who like beautifully
blended colors there are pictures of
flowers and fruit, and the painting OF
Life" referred to is rich in puppies
and glowing reds.
One who views the paintings need
have no hesitation in saying that Miss
Withrow has a deep interest in the
mystic and in the unfathomable. He
who knows his Omar does not need
the stanza attached to one of the
pictures to tell him that it is descrip
tive of the quatrain beginning, "AnC

Much could be written on thes,
paintings, but, suffice it to say, tina
they should be seen, as they art
doubtless the most noteworthy eve
exhibited in Honolulu and would at
tract attention in any metropolitan
exhibit.

BIC SALE Of &.
R. & |. BONDS

The sale of $4,000 worth of o. r. &
l.. bonds at $3.50 above par.
to one of the big estates,
which transaction was negotiated Sat
urday afternoon by the Warehouse
Trust Company apparently marks a
renewal of business activity along the
Street and presages increasing stock
and bond sales in the future
The sale mentioned is the biggest
bond sale that has been recorded for
a long time, while the price $lO3.5O.
would seem to indicate greater conf
dence in Hawaiian securities. it is
understood that other big bond deals
are being negotiated and that the long
dull period is about at an end.
While there was almost no trading
at the Exchange this morning, the
tone of the market was considerably
stronger, especially. considering the
fact that this is Monday, usually 4
weak day on change. The only SEES
sion sale was that of a block of twenty
Honolulu Brewing and Mailing at
$2O.75, very respectable advance
over the last previous quotation.
One of the strongest stocks at pres
ent is Pioneer. No sales of this stock
were recorded today, but 2O4 was bid
with no takers. The last sale was AT
$2O250; 1910 is asked.
Waialua remains firm at STA, with
little in sight Honokaa is in demand
at $l1, but there is little of the com
modify coming out Two sales of Ho-
nokaa were made between boards, one
Of thirty-fve shares, the other of five
A block of twenty-five Waialua sold at
the prevailing figure, STA. The only
other sale of stock recorded was that
of ten shares of Eva at $50, which
marks an advance of a quarter over
the last selling price.
Altogether the market is starting
off better this week than last and
there is a general feeling of confidence
that better prices and greater activity
viii prevail.

The following is the financial let
ter for October of the American Ma
tional Bank of San Francisco.
Remarkable activity in marketing
the products of California has been the
feature of the past month. High prices
have caused very general selling, and
as the fine weather has encouraged
deliveries, packing houses are taxed to
the limit. 1t is estimated that fully 50
per cent of the dried fruit output has
passed from the hands of growers, and
as cash payments are the rule, the
fruit-growing sections are well sup
piled with money In the Santa Clara
Valley alone the money value of the
fruit crop is variously placed at from
eight to twelve million dollars.
Similar conditions prevail in grain.
Most of the barley has been sold for
export, at high figures, and the past
few weeks have witnessed sensational
prices for the product While in
former years the greater part of the
California export crop went to Eur
ope, this year it is being taken in
large quantities by American brew
ers. So heavy have been the ship
ments that it is believed California
will be obliged later to import grain
for local use.
The Minor Crops.
In minor crops, also, the most graft
flying reports are received. The olive
crop is believed to be the largest in
the history of the state, and English
walnuts will run from 10 to 20 per
cent higher than last year, the nuts
being of exceptionally good quality.
As the result of Il triple combina-
'tion of big crops, high prices and will
ingness to sell, agricultural districts
of the state are now short on prod
ucts and long on cash, and interior
banks are well supplied with money.
This condition, naturally, is reflected
in San Francisco, Los Angeles and
other centers, where bank deposits are
steadily rising, and loaning funds are
abundant. Normally, there should be
a decline in deposits during the next
two months.
10 AS the crops of northern and central
California disappear from view, by
steamer or by rail, through the Gold
en- Gate or over the crest of the Sier-
ras, the South begins it's annual

Health Board
Is Kept Busy

There is a slight outbreak of diph-
iberia at Kekaha, Kauai, from which
three cultures from children's throats
have been forwarded to the Board Of
Health by Doctor Sandow
The Waimea cases have increased
to three, but there is not thought to
be any necessity of closing the school.
The new cases at Kekaha are thought
to have been caused by the children
from one school visiting the other.
There is no cause for alarm, accord.
ing to the health authorities Anti
toxin has been forwarded to Doctor
Sandow and it has been administered
to the children attending the schools.
There will be a meeting of the
Board of Health on Thursday after
noon. 1t will be a regular affair, al
though the proposed scheme for edu-
eating the people in sanitation by aid
of lantern slides will be discussed.
1t was first thought that moving pic
lures would be better, but now diff
culties in the way of providing the
necessary light to project the films
have cropped up. In small villages,
where electric light is not available,
it is thought that moving pictures
would not show up well.
Lantern. slides will, however, be
used and all the other features Of the
campaign against the scourge of tuber-
culosis will be seen.

people in Honolulu
They state that they are informed
and believe that the Board of Health
on November passed a resolution
concerning Mills banana plants; like
wise that copy of this resolution
was delivered to Mills on November
10, and he was ordered to abate his
bananas; in the event of his failure
so to do, the Board of Health would
do it for him.
Respondents deny that by such ac-
ton on their part Mills would suffer
irreparable loss, and that the acts of
the respondents or their agents will
be detrimental to the property and
property rights of the plaintiff.
Wherefore, they pray that the tenn
porary injunction may be dissolved.
Mills exceptions to their answer
are based on the ground that informa-
ton and belief do not, according to
the law, constitute a sufficient answer,
and that where they are used the
source of such information and belief
must be cited.
The case promises to be in he
courts a long time before it reaches
any final determination.

REAL ESTATE
IS LOOKING UP

The real estate business is looking
up, according to reports made by most
of the land sellers Of the city. Al
, though there have been no phenom.
enally large sales recently, there is a
fairly steady sale of lots, especially in
the newer residence districts of the
city. All the real estate men express
themselves as being confident of a
prosperous season this winter.
Charles A. Stanton, manager Of the
kaimuki Land Company, states that,
while the sales made by his company
last week did not reach the high
water mark of the previous week, bus.
mess has been very fair and every
thing points to a heavy volume dur
ing the months to come.
r. II. Trent likewise stated that
business had been very good and that
prospects for a busy season were more
than fair.
The other real estate men of the
city talk in the same vein and all are
confident that no serious harm has
been done to the tourist business by
yellow fever reports.
In fact, since ii has been ascer-
tanned that there never was any vel
low fever the general tone of bust
ness has greatly improved and every
body appears to be feeling confident
OF a prosperous year to come.

The document relates all the famil-
lar details of the awarding of the con-
tract for the Heeia section of the
Oahu belt road, and specifies the evil
dence on which the majority of the
commission decided that Wilson was
not the lowest responsible bidder"
Mayor Ferns minority answer filed
in court is expressly repudiated and
his allegations Of unfairness in award
ing the contract to the Lord-Young
Engineering Company denied.
The reasons why Wilson was not
deemed responsible were found in ais
Kauai contract, his Honolulu sewer
outfall contract and Supervisor
Dwight's evidence that Wilson was
incompetent as road supervisor of
Honolulu.

CALIFORNIA FINANCIAL LETTER
FOR THE MONTH Of OCTOBER

movement of citrus fruits. From
about Lindsay and Porterville few
cars of lemons and grape fruit al.
ready have gone forward to Eastern
markets, and by the first of November
orange picking will be in full swing.
From Oroville, in the northern end of
the Sacramento Valley, down across
the Tehachapi to San Diego, all the
orange sections give promise of large
crops, of fine quality.
Output of Mines.
That ranching is only one of Cali.
fornias wealth-producing industries
however, is emphasized by the report
of mine production for 1910, recently
issued by the L. S. Geological Survey
The total value of gold, silver, cop.
per and lead ore produced in that
year was $27,O2O,4O5, of which 49,.
715,4OO was in gold. OF the gold out.
put, $7,55O,254 was produced by dredg.
ing. This process during the past
eleven years has taken no less than
$4O,31S,775 gold out of California S
gravel beds. Nevada was only slightly
behind California as a gold producer
in 1910. scoring a total of S1S,S7S, 1854
Copper, silver, lead and zinc brought
the total 1910 mine production of Ma.
vada to $34, 1921 a considerable in,
crease over the production of 1909. 1t
will be observed from this exhibit that
the Golden West is still fairly well
gilded, even though the Argonauts
long since went their way into his
tory.
Panama Canal Prospects.
An event of more than local inn
portance during the month was the
formal inauguration of construction
work on the Panama-Pacific Interna
tional Exposition, by which in 1916
San Francisco and the whole Pacific
Coast are to celebrate the opening OF
the Panama Canal to traffic. The first
spadeful of earth was turned by that
active and efficient workman, Presi
dent Taft, who took the occasion to fe
licitate the city on it's extraordinary
progress during the five years since
the big conflagration. From now on
the utmost efforts will be put forth tC
have the exposition in readiness. That
this city and its environs will benefit
greatly from the Panama Canal
through the influx of population and
the development of natural resources
no one can doubt. and there is a gen
eral feeling of confidence and cheer
fulness.
The process of development, in fact
has been under way for several years
to an extent that few people appre
ciate. In MERGED County, by way OF
example, the shipments of farm prod
ucts in August were 100 per cent
larger than in August, 1910, and a
good share of the increase is attribut
ed to the fact that large areas Of raw
land have been brought under cult
walton during the past year. The
utilization of water power and the ere
alton of electrical energy all along the
western slope of the Sierras is one OF
the remarkable facts of the past few
years, and must inevitably result in q
great expansion of manufacturing en-
terprise.
