MUST BE WATER IN
SOME LOCAL STOCKS.

According to figures compiled by
Governor Frear for his annual report,
the capital stock of the $50 idustrial
corporations doing business in the
Territory exceeds by considerable
margin the assessed valuation of all
kinds of property listed by the tax
assessor. The governor himself asks
the question as to how much of this
discrepancy is due to water" In the
corporations, and how much to un-
LIBERALIZATION by the assessor, 80
The Treasurer's figures show that
the corporation stock totals $156,S73,-
02S, while the total value of real es-
tate and personal property for last
year, according to the assessor was
only $t5O,26S,4 67, a difference of &c.
6O4,56i. When it is remembered also
that there are 116 eleemosynary in
situations which have no capital stock
| but which own large amounts of prop
erty, the discrepancy must be even
more glaring, although the exact fig
ures cannot be stated.

HEALTH CONDITIONS IN AUS.
TRALIA.

Health conditions in Australia are
better than in any other country Of
the globe if the low death rate of
1895 a thousand a year may be ac-
cepted as an index, says the Medical
Record.
The death rate from tuberculosis
has steadily been declining during
the last twenty-five years and now is
less than per cent of the total
deaths, which is a lower percentage
than any published by any other
country who complies it's statistics
in an equally accurate manner.
In New South Wales the notifica-
tion of cases of pulmonary and throat
'tuberculosish as been compulsory for
over ten years. The walls and cell
ings of houses in which cases occur
are sprayed with a solution of for.
malin and the floors are washed with
solution of corrosive sublimate.
The effectiveness of the educational
campaign is shown by the fact that
open air sleeping is more general
than in any other country. There is
scarcely a dwelling house construct
| ed nowadays in Australia, even a
laborer's cottage, which is not pro
vlded with a suitable veranda for out
door sleeping. There is very little
expectorating on the sidewalks o.
other public places.
Ordinances to prevent the contain
ination of milk and other foodstuff'
are we'll observed In shops where
fresh meat is offered for sale it il
customary to find sheets of waite
running over the front windows an,
walls for the purpose of catchin
dust. All large cities, like Sydney
Melbourne, Adelaide and others, hay
: tuberculosis sanatoria and also
large number of beds for chroni
cases. The Greenvale Sanatoriun
near Melbourne, will compare favor
ably with similar institutions in Eu
rope and America.

Gratifying progress has been made
in isolating chronic and more partic-
ularly open cases of tuberculosis. In
New South Wales, Victoria and South
Australia it is estimated that at least
so per cent of these cases have been
placed in hospitals and a good pro-
portion of the remainder under super
vision. The health oficils believe
that only a few years will elapse be-
fore every case Of pulmonary and
throat tuberculosis will be under such
control as to reduce the danger of
transmitting the infection to min
imum.

The hosts of friends Of Miss
Blanche Howard Wenner who, with

islands about year ago as guests
of the Moana Hotel, will be interested
to learn of her very thrilling expe-
rience, published in a late Seattle
paper.
Miss Wenner who is very athletic,
started out to climb Mount Eleanor, in
the Olympic range, accompanied by
Mr.. Morris, who had had many won
derful experiences in climbing the
Alps in Switzerland.
In attempting to climb Mount
Eleanor she lost the trail and many

terrible hours were spent in endeav-
oring to locate it, when Mr.. Morris
fell unconscious, his heart having
failed him.
Dragging him to shelter and cover
ing him, still in semi-conscious con-
dition, with her sweater, Miss Wen
ner started out alone to search for
the lost trail in her endeavor to
reach the hotel for assistance.
This wonderful girl had the pres
ence of mind to tear bits of her cloth
ing and drop them on the way. At
three o'clock the next morning, torn
and half clad, she dragged herself
into the hotel exhausted, her ability
to reach home in the blackness Of
the night still being a mystery.
Miss Wenner drew a rough sketch
of the location of Mr.. Morris and
searching parties started out, return
ing without success. Two days later,
without food or water, Mr.. Morris
arrived alone at the hotel, having re-
gained consciousness and started
forth.
Miss Wenner is very we'll known
in Honolulu, where she was elabOr-
,ately entertained by fellow students
at Wellesley College, of which she is
graduate. Mrs. Walter Francis
Frear, wife of Governor Frear, was
one of her classmates who enter

FOR n GREATER CORN CROP.
The Season When King Corn Must be
Planted is Rapidly Approaching.

The season for preparing ground and
planting is almost upon us, but as yet
we have not learned what prepara-
tions are being made to induce coa-
tests in cottoa or corn. In conversa-
ton with one o the country's fore
most farmers yesterday, he suggested
that some plan should be Immediately
adopted along this line; that what had
beea accomplished in the last two
years, through competitive tests, in
the corn growing industry in this
country, had instilled our farmers to
greater efforts to beat the yield pei
acre OF any year in the history of
corn growing in the country.

the permit after satisfying himself
that the applicant was citizen Of

that public policy would be conserved
by winging one or two Of them"
