.BILL PROVIDES FOR
SELLING LOST GOODS
LIVESTOCK, HOWEVER,, 10 NOT
ARRANGED ron, UNLESS
AS NPBRtsHABLB"

To relieve what might be considered
cmwding situation, relative TO the
accumulation Of lost articles and I'M.
called for goods in the hands Of trans
pofiation companies, Representative
sheldon yesterday introduced in the
house a bill to enable the overworked
common carriers to get rid Of some of
the valuable (more or less, but mostly
lcss) property that 1lls their storage
spaces.
Much Of what is gathered is left on
the hands Of the companies by those
who have shipped the stuff and never
called for it. In these cases heavy
storage charges will eat up all the
value Of the goods, and although the
bill provides that the Territory win get
the balance OF money in Ave years, 1t
is nightly little the legislators are
counting on. The bill, which passed
first reading, is as follows;
Sets Time Limit.
Section 1. Any person, firm or cor
pOration carrying ON business in the
Territory of Hawaii as a common car
rier, who shall have in his or its pos
session for six months any unclaimed
baggage, goods, merchandise, packages
parcels or other articles not perishable
in their nature, may sell the same at
public auction, and out of the proceeds
retain the charges of transportation
storage, advertising and sale. Before
l. l., = 10 h.,
rier shall publish a notice of the time
and place of sale at least once each
week for four successive weeks in some
newspaper of general circulation
printed and published in the county in
which the place is located to which
such unclaimed article or articles are
consigned or addressed; said notice
shall contain a brief description of such
articles, the marks of Identification
thereon, the name of the person, il
known, to whom, and the name of the
place to which, the same were directed
The expense of advertising and of sale
shall be lien upon the articles adver
tised, in ratable proportion according
to the amount received for each article

Section 2. If any such unclaimed
article is in it's nature perishable, i
may be sold by such common carrie
either at public or private sale as sooI
as its condition makes a sale necessary
and without the notice required by Sec
tion 1.
Section 3. After any such sale any
/ such common carrier shall record in
suitable book open to the inspection o.
| claimants, in which the articles sole
shall be correctly designated, tn
charges of transportation, storage, ad
vertising and sale, the price at whicl
the articles were sold, and shall credi
therein the balance remaining to tn
person, if known, to whom the articl
was directed. At any time within fiv
years thereafter, such carrier shall o
demand pay said balance to the owne
of such article. If such balance shal
not be claimed by the owner within fv
years after the date of sale, it shal
thereupon escheat to the Territory o
Hawaii and be paid over by said car
rier to the treasurer of said Territory
Section 4. This act shall take effec
upon its approval.

They had proceeded as far as the

Italian Workmen rushed down from
their camp on the hill on Summer

the paper mill. and surrounded the two
officers and their prisoner.
Deputy Sheriff Ballou pulled his re-
Volver, Colt automatic 80 calibre, but
before he could use it his wrist had
been grasped and the weapon wrench
ed from his hand. The party of Italians
then had little trouble in freeing the
prisoner. and at once started up the
NIL to their camp on the run.
Deputy Sheriff Ballou asked Deputy
Sheriff Purinton to rush to the camp
ana attempt to recover the gun and
their prisoner, but Deputy Purinton
advised securing assistance before taxi
ing such a step. Deputy Ballou then
announced his intention of going alone
and asked his fellow officer for his re-
Volver, a 4f-caliber weapon.
With the revolver in his hand Deputy
Ballou started up the hill, going up the
side of the street opposite from the
camp of the workmen. AS he reached
the summit number of the Italians
started out into the street, among them
John Parri. who pulled Ballou's gun as
he advanced.
When the two men were about 10
feet apart both raised their weapons
and fired at the same time, the shots
being so close together that those
standing near heard but one report.

Seeding Alfalfa.

The Missouri Farmers Institute says
that alfalfa is best seeded in August or
September, but before seeding, the seed
bed should be persistently worked, and
thoroughly prepared. If the soil is acid
or sour, it should be sweetened through
the application of air Stacked lime or
finely ground limestone.
If the field is we'll worn a liberal dress
ing of manure will act as an insurance
against probable failure. Disk the sur
face of the unPlowed land, after dressing
with manure, until a mulch OF loose soil
is on the surface. Plow to a depth of six
inches or deeper, and Immediately disk
and harrow. roll a"d drag until you have
a seed bed fit to sew onion seed in. Then
apply your lime or limestone and again
harrow. This should provide an environ.
ment for alfalfa seed, which, with one ad.
di,ion, will no only supply the factors
necessary for termination, but for rapid
growth and development as we'll,
The remaining requisite, at least on
most soils OF the state, is inoculating
with nitrogen gathering bacteria that
use the alfalfa as a host plant. This

sown, if you use a drill for sowing, or it
