Paid to Be Boss.

There's a certain politician gala
vantin' around the country just now"
said man at the custom house, who
reminds me of an old negro who used
to work for my father. He's bound to
be boss.
"Old Ike was given a job one day by
father cutting up some wood in the
back yard. Dad gave Ike quarter to
do It. Later in the day he went out
and found the old negro sitting on
stick and directing the work of another
black. who was industriously cutting
and saving.
why. Ike remarked dad. didn't
pay you to do this work.
"'Yassuh. boss. 20 sho' did
swell. why aren't you doing itr

.Thirty-fve cents? Why SO muchy
asked father.
well, boss. it's dis way: reckon
it's wuf 10 cents ter be boss once In
awhile. "-Louisville Times.

More Delegates for Taft.

The republican national committee
decided some more contested dele.
gates 10 favor Of Taft, Wednesday,
when by vote Of 81 to 10 1t refused
to seat two Roosevelt delegates from
the Fourth California district, who
were chosen 10 a primary election Ia
which It Is said a majority was given
Tor both Roosevelt and Taft. Because
OF the fact that Roosevelt carried the
California primaries ty 1900 ma
1ority, his adherants condemn the
action Of the committee In strong
terms. The California delegation
now stands "a for Roosevelt aud 2 for
Taft. the entire delegation having
heretofore been credited to Colonel
Roosevelt.
Other contests decided Wedne day
including tn ose from Arizona, Miss :
isslppi, Loui siana and Michigan, gave
Taft 40 more, delegates and left ll2
contests still to be heard.

1T is believed that owing to
heavy expenditures to improve
the water system and defrny
necessary running expenses OF
the municipality Rathdrum
town taxes will be much greater
this year than they were last
year. The assessed valuation
for taxation purposes will be
much lower but the levy will be
co-respondingly higher in order
to raise the amount OF money
that will be required. The ex-
penditures for improving the
water system were justified, but
the Indebtedness thus caused
makes it necessary that all
street grading and other non
essential public improvements
be eliminated from considera
ton. Only by combining the ex-
penditures to what is abso-
iutely necessary, from now on,
can the years taxes be kept
from being doubled. AS it is the
levy will probably have to be
placed at almost the maximum
rate permitted by law.

CONTRACTOR WILSON
PREPARING FOR WORK

(Mail Special to The Advertiser.)
HILo, March 26.-Contractor Wilson
is getting ready to start his preliminary
work in the belt road contract. He
will not begin work until after the con-
tract has been signed by Commissioners
Hind and Carter, who were not present
at the meeting Thursday. His bond
will then have to be approved by Chair
man Horner, after which Auditor Fish
err will have to pass on the contract.
When he has approved of it, it will
finally be effective.
Owing to the length of time which
it will take to get from the East the
rock crushers, steam rollers and so
forth, necessary for the work, it will
be about two months before the work
will be in full swing, but in the mean
time Wilson will do much preliminary
work in the line of locating and de
veloping quarries; while he will also
be able to save considerable time by
placing rock along the sections of the
road where he will need such.

CHARLIE STANTON

Five hundred thousand dollars, more

Charles A. Stanton of the Kaimuki

Of the Island of Lanai, which Mr.. Stan

F. Z. Thompson, head of the Lanai

and improvements have been added to
the amount of 100000, representing
more than half a million investment.

GARDEN ISLAND
RUNNING SHORT
OF BEEF ON HOOP
One Ranching Finn Won't Sell and
the Other Barely Meets the
Demands.

If, after the present excitement on
Kauai relative to blind pigs dies down,
someone hears a wild yell emanate from
the happy little island for "cows,"
pay no heed. Kauai is only looking for
her next mornings beefsteak.
It seems, from reports that Kauai can
nc longer suppress, that blind pork is
much more plentiful than the visible
beef supply. Kauai cows killed in the
morning are smoking in Kauai pans by
the time the shades of evening drop
over her sad condition. There is only
one firm of ranchers selling their cat
tie and that is Knudsen Brothers. The
other big stock-owning firm, Gay & Rob-
inson, are said to be holding off.
Naturally the price is doing its
darndest to beat the supply to place
where the ordinary population can It
find it. Twelve cents on the hoof at
the slaughter houses is quoted locally
as a rate that they are paying on the
Garden Island, which is some rate.
Visitors to Waimea and elsewhere are
expected in the future to wander over
the pastures with ten-dollar bill on
platter and take their chance.

FEDERAL BUILDING ON
MAHURA SITE WILL Be
SHOCK TO BUSINESS
J. W. Pratt Says Such a Move
Would Force Retailers to
Move Toward Waikiki.
(From Thursdays Advertiser.)

(from Thursday's Advertiser.)
can earthquake in local business"
is what the Mahuka site proposition
will amount to, according to J. W.
Pratt, real estate man. The tearing
down of the buildings now occupied by
Castle 6 Cooke, E. o. Hall g Son, the
Hawaiian Trust Company, Office Supply
Company and Halstead and Company,
will send all these firms in the mauka-
Waikiki direction, says Pratt, and this
will mean big change in the retail
business center Of the-city.
"The building enterprises now under
way show this trend" said Pratt yes
terday. "They are on Hotel street and
on King, Waikiki of Fort street. The
business center in the near future will
be Waikiki of Fort for the most part,
probably in the block bounded by Fort,
King, Bishop and Hotel streets. And
that will mean more removals. I expect
to see business block on the Bishop
lot opposite the Young Hotel, that will
be very lively center of retail bust
ness. 1t was doubtless in recognition
of this fact that Messrs. Wall and
Dougherty took store in the Young
Hotel for their new jewelry establish
ment.
Cuisines men perhaps do not real
ize how far-reaching will be the changes
caused by taking all this block out Of
the retail section. 1t will make a gap
that will cause the firms to move be-
yond, and the wholesalers will find it
harder, in their present locations, to
keep in touch with the retail business.
l think it would have been better to
have built on the original Mahuka site,
adding story to the building, and to
have left the Fort street firms where
they are.'
"Another push will be given to the
movement of the orientals Waikiki
wards. 1t is noticeable that of late
years they have been gradually ap-
preaching Fort street. A few years
more may see the business section Eva
of Fort streets very largely taken by
the stores of the Asiatics. There stores
now, of course, are of much better
character than in the old days when
they were all on Nuuanu or on the EVA
side of Nuuanu."

LOCAL P0sT0FFICE

SUPERINTENDENT

After ten years or longer Of service
in the local postofIice, Frank t. Sui
Ivan, superintendent of mails, Homo
lulu, has been transferred to the Philip
pines Bureau Of Posts and will leave
for his new field about the middle of
April. Note of the successful results
of his examination reached him recent
ly from Washington, request that he
be given the first-class examination
having been eabled previously from Ma
Mia to the bureau of insular affairs,
Washington.
Facing numerous difficulties and OBJ
stacles, Mr.. Sullivan has done much to-
wards putting the postofice delivery
service on basis Of greater efficiency
than ever before and his hard and con-
scientous work has been appreciated
by the mail-getters.
In his long service in Honolulu he
has become endearej to many friends,
all of whom will find the greatest cause
for regret in his departure. His trans
fer comes to him decidedly in the way
of promotion though Postmaster Pratt
losses one of his most valuable assis-
tants. Mrs. Sullivan will probably leave
for San Francisco Sunday to stay a
short while with her family before re.
Ejoining her husband in the Philippines.

|LL-MATED COUPLE
DIVORCED AF TER
CONTESTED SUIT
Judge Approached by Husband-Wife' Is
Attorney Believes That She
Was Sold.
(From Wednesday IS Advertiser.)


Stating that there was strong sus.
picion that his client, an unusually
beautiful Chinese girl, seventeen years
of age, had been sold by her mother to
the man from whom she was seeking a
divorce, Leon NJ. Straus yesterday
raised contested divorce suit to a
plane seldom reached by the average
run of oriental divorces.
J. Alfred Magoon. who represented
the husband, was at the same time do
ing him IA neighborly turn for the man
is tenant in the notorious Magoon
Block, Kakaako. Not the least of the
unexpected turns to the case was the
announcement of Judge Whitney when
granting the decree, that he might be
considered disqualified as he had been
repeatedly approached by the husband
who said that if he, the judge, would
not grant alimony or counsel fee, he,
the husband, would not contest the suit
Counsel fees were granted.
can divorce suits have bad odor, y
was one of Magoon's remarks during
the trial, and
Especially when they originate II
the Magoon Block" was Straus' re
tort.
"There is strong suspicion that the
girl was sold by her mother on account
of their poverty" continued her attor
ney, "and that only form of marriage
was gone through, but this can not bt
proved. The case was once taken W
by District Attorney Breckons, on thu
suspicion of the SALE"
The husband was a man of particu
larly displeasing countenance, fifty o.
sixty years old, and the girl but sixteer
when she was, as she claims, forced tt
marry him. She sued on the grounds
of failure to provide.
