THEH0LD.UP ARTISTS
ARRESTED THIS
=
MORNING
Will Probably Be Bound Over
to Fall Term of District
Court

Three men were arrested late Mon
day evening, two of whom are to be
arraigned in justice court today be-
fore Judge Purcell to answer to the
charge of carrying concealed wea-
pons and the third to be arraigned
on a vagrancy charge.
George Ireland was the first man
arrested. He was trying to steal a
ride on the blind baggage of Great
Northern train No. 2, and was caught
in the act by Special Policeman Andy
Sullivan. When captured by Sullivan
Ireland drew Smith & Wesson .3S
callber revolver and showed fight,
but rap over the knuckles caused
him to drop the weapon and he was
taken to the city Jail.
The second gun man to be arrest
ed was John Carroll, who was taken
in charge early this morning by Of
ficer Bliven. Carroll had on his per-
son a .3S caiiber revolver loaded.
His companion. F. C. Dale, was also
taken in charge, but was unarmed.
When arrested the two were follow
ing an intoxicated man. Officer Andy
Sullivan had just returned from TAX
ing the first gun man, George Ire
land, to the lookup when he noticed
Carroll and Dale acting rather sus-
piciously. He called Officer Bliven's
attention to the men and they were
later placed under arrest. When
searched at the city hall the loaded
revolver was found on Carroll
Chief of Police Lowe was started
an active war against the gun car
riers and it is expected that both Ire
land and Carroll will be bound over
to the district court, while Dale will
undoubtedly get a thirty day stretch
in the county Jail on the vagrancy
charge. A large majority of the men
arrested for carrying guns or who
have had guns on their persons when
arrested, have claimed to have re-
ceived the weapons from bartenders
in East Grand Forks.

KneeshaM in the CITY.

Judge W. ]. Kneeshaw was in the
city today to preside over a civil &C
tion in which Attorney w. G. Mayer
Is suing for the settlement of a suit
which he won short time ago. The
defendant claims that he was never
served with the papers and refuses
to pay. The case was to have come
up before Judge Templeton, but he is
out of the city at the present time
and Judge kneeshaw was called in on
the case, which was continued owing
to the fact that the defendant want
ed to get more affidavits and was not
ready to contest the case.

WALKING, TALKING
BOOSTERS FOR
The CITY
The Hotel Men Will Miss Nc
Chance to Say Good Word
Ct For Grand Forks

That Grand Forks will get more
,dvertising out of the recent meet
lg in the city of the Northwest Ho-
tel Mems association than 1t will
through any other convention that has
been held here this year, is the gem
Dral impression of those who have
had the opportunity of observing just
now we'll pleased the hotel men were
with their entertainment. At Duluth
evidence of the good will of the hotel
owners towards the city Of Grand
Forks was found, for on the slightest
provocation they would set up in song
or shout the name of Grand Forks.
1t was 'Hurrah for Grand Forks"
from start to finish with the hotel
men-they were happy, and just
couldn't help themselves.
H. P. Rucker, former resident of
Grand Forks who now resides in
TT. Smith, Ark, and who is prom
lnent in the Arkansaw Hotel Mems
association, fittingly describes in a
letter to j. D. Bacon Of this city
what the city may expect in the way
of returns.
Every hotel man attending the
convention" writes Mr.. Rucker, will
be walking, talking, boosting adver-
tisement for that hustling, bustling,
rustling city on the Red formerly
known as Grand Forks"
And Mr.. Fuckers prediction to that
effect seemingly has already come
true, judging from the information
that has been received from along the
route. and by the tone of letters that
have been received from. several of
the hotel men since their departure.
The Hotel Mems association was
one of the most representative con-
ventions that has been held in Grand
Forks, and that fact will add ma
terially to the value Of the boosting
that they can be depended upon to
do for Grand Forks henceforth.
Association Adopts Resolutions.
At Duluth the following resolutions
were adopted by the association:
Whereas, the Northwestern Hotel
Mems association had a most stren-
uous experience in getting from
Grand Forks to Duluth, and whereas
Messrs. Lee. Mckay and Rubeneck
were censured for the delay and,
Whereas, since arriving In Du-
luth every minute of time has been
continuation of royal entertain
ment,
BE it resolved that, this associa-
tion exonerate Messrs. Lee, Mckay
and Rubeneck from any blame that
may. have been attached to them re-
garding delayed trains fand be it fur
ther resolved that we tender hearty
thanks Of the association to the in
dividual hotel keepers of the city and
all those who took part in the enter
tainment, whether on the lake, at the
theatsr, automobile driving or the
splendid banquets given at the Spauld-
ing, st. Louis and Holland.
"And, be it further resolved, that
when any member of the association
who failed to attend this meeting are
looking for an outing and a good
time. this association recommends
Grand Forks and Duluth.

Struck oil this morning. is the

sima Hills Oil Company operating in
the famous Santa Maria district. The
Purissima is one Of three companies
organized by State Senator Howard
a. Broughton, one of which British
capitalists bought outright for a mil
lion dollars. The remaining one the
promoter retained in his own eXclu-
sive control. Most Of the Purissimh
shareholders are in Alameda, but
there are eighty or so in Honolulu,

COFFEE, TOBACCO AND COTTON
ARE DOING WELL IN KONA

with better processes Of curing its
tobacco, Kona looms up more and more
as a pipe filler. There are two pioneer
companies growing tobacco here, the
Hawaiian Tobacco Plantation, Ltd, at
Keauhou, between Kailua and Keala-
kekua, and the Kona Tobacco Com
pany, near NapoopOo. These two com
panies grew out of the original expert
mants made by Jared Smith, then head
of the Hawaiian Experiment Station,
and Chas. BlacOw, the latter forming
the Hawaiian Tobacco Plantation and
the former the Kona Tobacco Com
pany.
Some of the advantages of Kona as
tobacco raising section are absence
of strong winds, absence of hail
storms and the fact that no shade is
required. This latter fact alone saves
from 5000 to $4OO per acre. AS labor
costs about the same here as in

The Hawaiian grown tobacco has {

THE ARMY AND
THE DRILL SHEO

The Territory would like to get back
title to the old drill shed property
from the War Department. as well as
other property now owned by the same
branch of federal government and
Governor Froar hopes that this end
may be attained if the army authorl-
ties can be suited with other property
perhaps better adapted to barracks
purposes.
The governor Tor several days has.
been giving a good deal of time to
these matters, which include the sug.
gested development Of the Ala Moana
waterfront the filling in of large
tract of swamp land. and the estab-
fishing of the army barracks in that
district.
1T is largely a matter of studying
maps thus far" said the governor,
and there is nothing very definite
about any of it, However, progress is
being made"
1t is understood that the local army
officers in authority are in favor of
| the above outlined plan, and hope to
bring their superiors in Washington
to the same point of view The Terri
tory would like to have the drill shed
site as a place for a National Guard
armory. The governor stated that
while the Territory does not own
much land in the district to be re-
claimed, still it might be possible to
devise some exchanges which would
be advantageous to all parties.

Kohala Midget: Jared G. Smith has
in his employ several men, women and
school children. The tobacco harvest
is at hand, and the prospects are that
this industry will muster so many
hands that the coffee crop will run
shy of pickers. The demand for lab
orers is getting quite acute these days.
They are planting and harvesting at
the same time. What they planted
three months ago is going into the
barns now, while Koreans are planting
tobacco every rainy night, and it is no
unusual sight to see lines of lights in
the fields. Mr.. Smith has erected a
large building opposite his residence,
which he intends to use as a store
house. Honaunau is gradually build
ing itself up, with Mr.. ]. Smith for its

A gentleman who is handling the
"Old Mill" cigarettes in this Territory
and who has had large experience ir
the tobacco business, says that wher
Hawaii has learned to cure it's own to
bacco it will have the best tobacco il
the world for this climate. Havana
cigars do not taste the same here as
on the mainland
1t is expected that one large manu-
facturer, who has purchased all the
crop in view, will snap up the entire
output now being prepared, amount
ing to 10000 pounds.
Another one of the experts in to

plantations in Kona, says the Tobacco

hold fire six minutes, has a goo
