AN UNPRECEDENTED DRY
PERIOD FOR OKLAHOMA
Continuation Of Rainfall Will
Prepare GTOuad for Spring
Flowing

Rain started in Guthrie last night.
The fan was rot heavy but it made
a starter toward opening up the
ground for spring, and there is every
prospect of a thorough soaking. Adj.
vices from over the state indicate
that the rain is general.
The end Of the great drouth may
be safely announces. The dry sea-
son here has lasted practically since
The middle OF last August The south
ern part OF the state and The eastern
counties have had more or less rain,
but the western counties have long
been dry Water supplies for stock
have been dangerously low for
months Many cities have had re-
stricted water supplies.
Farming has been held back by the
dryness. There has been practicA
ly no wiater plowing The soil m
this county is too hard for breaking.
The status Of the wheat crop over
the state is uncertain Much of the
wheat soWn never came up and II
may come up now. Some OF that
was brought up by partial showers
sickened and died. Within a few days
il will be possible to ascertain the
prospects for the year Planting Of
wheat fields In other crops will un-
doubtedly be necessary in many sec
tons.
Fruit prospects are tegarded by
g : lo no
pite the recent warm weather. The
peach crop is a million dollar affair
and then some, so far as Logan coun-
ty is concerned and the next few
weeks will be a very critical period.
In some cases the buds or peach tree
were blasted by a freeze, but there
was so little moisture around that 1t
is believed the majority of buds es-
capped. Chief of Police w. H. Mitchell
who has 3,00G says that he is satisfi-
ed with the state Of the trees 50 far
Younger Oklahomans should be
gently but firmly taken by the hands
and led to the windows. They should
be told that the strange substance
now falling is not dangerous. but on
the contrary, the greatest thing that
ever happened; that the general rain
is worth a million dollars an hour or
something like that To the people OF
Oklahoma.

HILO, Sept. 2S.-It would appear as
though Superintendent Pope might
come to the assistance of the Papai-
kou teachers, in order to relieve them
of the heavy burden which is placed
on their shoulders through the neces-
sity of travelling each day from this
city to the scene of their work. The
train schedule of the Hilo Railroad
Company is such that it not only
forces the teachers at Papaikou, who
practically all live in Hilo, to leave
this city at an unusually early hour,
but also detains them till very late in
the afternoon.
For the teachers living in this city

HILO, Sept. 2S.-The board of liquor
license commissioners for this island
will hold a special meeting at some
time today, no definite hour having
been set as yet. The purpose for
which the meeting has been called is
to consider the application of Hida-
sulii Kubo, a Kona japanese, for a
saloon license at Honaunau. This
matter was before the board at it's
recent meeting, but owing to COM
plications no action was taken.
This time it would, however, seem
likely that he will secure a license
as no protests against his application
have been filed, at least, not with
Rufus Lyman, the secretary of the
board.
The board at the same time takes
up the rules and regulations which
it has promulgated from time to time,
with the idea of placing them in def
mite shape and creating a harmoni-
Gus whole thereof. With this end in
view the secretary has prepared a col
lection of all the rules, and these will
be considered one by one, and such
changes and additions will be made as
the experience of the board makes
seem necessary or ADVISABLE
The most interesting proposition to
come up in this connection is that of
promulgating a new rule which will
put an end to treating, as it is be-
lieved by some that by this means ii
may be possible to greatly reduce the
evil effects from selling liquor at
public drinking places.
"This matter has been suggested to
the board, and will take it up at our
meeting tomorrow" said one of the

The Governor and the Land Com
missioner have taken up the matter
of opening up the Waiakea lots and
waterfront land at Hilo, in accord
ance with a petition from persons
who desire to buy places for homes
in Hilo. Also in order that the de-
yelopment of the Rainy City may pro-
coed under the most favorable condl-
lions possible.
According to Governor Frear 1t is
pretty big proposition, and one which
will require a good deal of careful
study. This, in time, is going to be
the most important part of Hilo
thinks the Governor, and he states
that Hilo will undoubtedly develop
more in this direction than in any
other way.
But this is not merely a matter OF
furnishing homesites for those who
want them. Hilo is soon to need more
room for wharves, factory sites, rail
road rights of way, etc, and in laying
out the Waiakea district, all these
things have to eb taken into consid

EUALIK0 SAYS ALL ISLANDS WILL
HAVE UNIONS AND HONOLULU
LABORERS WILL ASK FOR RAISE

HILO. Sept. 2S.-The Honolulu
road laborers will probably ask for a
raise in pay from S1.5O to $1.75 per
day, according to a statement made
yesterday by David EwalikO, who re-
turned from the capital city by the
Mauna Kea. He also states that teh
union there will take in all Chinese
and Japanese citizens, but that he
does not want to have anything to do
with Maxine, the leader of the Higher
Wages Association. Ewaliko seems
to be confident that it will be only
short time before Honolulu will be
completely organized along union
lines In speaking of this matter ne

H|LO ALSO HAS A PROBLEM Of
PREFERENTIAL HOMESTEAD RIGHTS

Grafton. Governor Frear stated this
morning that it would not only be
to provide for railroad ia
cilities for the entire two miles or
more of waterfront but that the pro-
posed electric street railway must
also be looked out for, and that the
Waiakea Mill also wants a way for a
railroad to the harbor
What is to be done in the matter
of preference rights, or if any such
rights are to be recognized in the
sale of the property, is another ques-
ton to be settled. There are persons
with homes in locations which might
interfere seriously with the industrial
development of the city, were they
given a preference right to purchase
them, in same manner as will be per.
mitted in the sale of the Punchbowl
lots to the Portuguese residents.
For the reason of these big prob
lens, the matter can not be settled

consulted on thu matter / can not

HiIO May Have Regulation
Against Saloon Treating

members of the commission yesterday.
"Of course, the enactment of anti
treating ordinances and law has often
been made the butt of jest and ridicule.
Nevertheless, such legislation has
been found very effective in Canada as
well as in several American com
munities, such as Tacoma, where it
has been tried for some time.
"The habit of treating causes many

purpose of taking one drink to take a

he intended merely to have a nip
which he thought he needed. 1t is
not so bad in the best salons and no
tells, although even there it often is
the cause of annoyance, but in the
saloons which are frequented by the
laboring men it becomes even worse.
There is a certain class of worthless

A Fatal Shot.

Among the less-known writers OF the
nineteenth century was Samuel Rogers.
He kept open house, and frequently en-
tertained Dickens, Macaulay, Carlyle, and
other celebrities OF the time. Rogers
was notable wit, but unfortunately his
thruSts were not always tempered with
kindness. Irving, in a letter, says, 81
dined tete-a-tete with him some time
since, and he served up his friends as he
served up his fish, with squeeze OF
lemon over each. II was very piquant,
but il SET my teeth on edge"
This same caustic flavor Of his wit Is
shown in story he was fond Of telling
to the discredit OF French valor.
An EngIishman and Frenchman had
got into a wordy squabble, which led TO
mutual insults and challenge. Nothing
could save the honor OF either OF them
but a duel.
But duels were not ioughtto kill. Even
serious wounds were unpleasant. and
mere scratch would answer the purpose
much better. SO that the antagonists
might have a better chance OF missing
one another, they repaired 10 dark room.
All was in readiness. The signal was
given. The Englshman, no less eager
TO preserve his foe than himself, CROPPED
to the open fireplace. He pointed his
pistol up the chimney, and fired.
"And by Jove," Rogers was wont TO
exclaim. "he brought down the French
man IL
