over the various differences which have
stood between them up to the present

The Putty in the Keyhole.

The Putty in the Keyhole.
The Osorio incident is cited as one
turned down altogether by Judge Par
sons, but which the attorney general
thinks should be credited. Osorio is
prominent Hilo business man, who has
taken a leading part in Democratic
politics in Hilo and has been much
interested in the land question. 1t
appears that he had suspicious about
Henderson, an employe of Hakalau,
homesteading twenty-five acres of land,
which was growing cane for Hakalau.
He testified that in October, 1908, after
the term of residence had begun to run,
he visited the place and filled the Hen
derson keyhole with putty. The putty
was undisturbed, he swore, for three
months, after which Osorio said he dug
it out himself with knife. The at
torney general IS brief says that Judge
Parsons utterly discredited this testi-
mony, and argues at some length to in
duce the higher court to give it
credence.
Plantation Has the Land.
, In discussing Henderson rs agreement
with the plantation, the brief says
"The plantation exercised all discre-
tion as to how, when, where and to
what extent the cane should be
planted, cultivated, fertilized, harvest
ed, weighed, ground and the sugar
sold. He was to stand no part of the
expense, or loss, if any should occur.
The homesteader sole interest, as he
himself stated, lay in getting his So
per acre per year. Some of this cane,
probably the greater part of it, re-
quires at least Is months to mature.
But his So per acre came every year and
not every eighteen months.
I'm short, the plantation has some
how acquired full control over all the
planted area which includes all but the
houselot and the gulch sides. This So
per acre per annum can not be called
the purchase price of cane as decided
by the court 1t has nothing to do
with the cutting, harvesting or grinding
of the cane, which, in part at least,
takes place only every eighteen months,
or might, in conceivable cases not occur
for much longer period; Henderson
would get his money whether he had
any cane to sell that year or not, or
whether there were any cane at all on
his lot or not.
! "In the face of all this evidence the
court, making no reference to Hender-
son IS testimony as to the verbal agree
ment, held, apparently, that the title to
the cane remained in Henderson until
weighed and delivered, and that the
lump sum of So per acre per annum
was clearly the purchase price
of cane, and not the rental of land. y
Plantation Owns All.
: Discussing the proposition that Hen
derson was the real cultivator, even
though the work was done under plan
taton auspices, the brief says:
''In short, the cultivation is being
done by the plantation, for the planta
tion, and no one else, and the plantation
is not a claimant of this homestead
and il is submitted that such cultiya

''I have received cable messages
from abroad opposing the election Of

that we have attained our aims and

is done. We can enjoy our liberty and
should not go beyond that.
In regard to the civil and law.enforc.

is for the people of the country to elect
them as public servants, and only those
who have ability should be elected.
"Yuan is a man of his word. At
the time before abdication was effect

by the proclamation to the world which

constructiveness he is the man of the

Just before the sailing of the West

Commander James of that cruiser was
released from arrest and restored to
duty on board. He was courtmartialed
for conduct unbecoming an officer and

This is the second time that he has

Yesterday the South Dakota took a
short cruise to test out her engines,
but returned to her anchorage near the
Colorado outside the harbor in the af-
ternoon. On Monday the three cruis-
ers will go out for maneuvers and will
be gone the entire week, returning to
port to dock on Saturday. The follow
ing week they will remain in port, and
then the next they go ON another SIX
day maneuver cruise.
No orders have been issued for these
cruises as yet, but it is understood that
alternate weeks cruising will be fea-
ture of the life of the fleet from
now on.
No Target Practise.
1t is not likely that there will be any
regular target practise here in the near
future, but the regular annual spring
practise should be held this month or
next, this being the customary time
for such work.
Several large RATS which are kept
at Mare Island are used for this work
and it would be big job to tow them
TO Honolulu for work here, although
they are towed from San Francisco to
San Diego each year. On this account
it is not thought that there will be
practise here at this time, according to
gossip in the fleet, but all the officers
acknowledge that it should be held.
Nothing from Mainland.

Everywhere throughout the coun-
try there is a marked interest in the
fail meeting of the New Louisville
Jockey Club at Churchill Downs,
which opens Monday and closes
Wednesday, October 16. From all
sections will come people to witness
the running on the opening day of
the Endurance stakes, a four-mile

Granger and Manager Matt Winn
have arranged a meeting that will
maintain the record of Churchill
Downs, which have been improved
and put in splendid shape. Charles
f. Price will be the presiding judge,
which is a guarantee that each race
will be fair. Though the meeting is

BABEs-IN- THE SNOW.


One of the most curious customs
Of the Laplanders is the manner Of
taking the babies to. church. The
mothers go regularly. even, when
they have wee tiny babies. Some
times they ride ten or fifteen miles
in a sleigh drawn by reindeer. They
all have warm clothes on, the baby
in particular. Oftentimes it is
wrapped in bearskins, AS soon as
the family arrives at the little
church and the reindeer is secured,
Father Lapp shovels a snug little
bed of snow and Mother Lapp wraps
baby snugly in skins and lays it down
there Then Father Lapp piles the
snow all around it and the parents
go into the church. Over twenty or
thirty of these babies lie out there
in the snow around the church and
never heard of one that was suf-
located or frozen. The snow does
not make them cold; for when 1t
covers a person all over, If he has
clothing enough so that it will not
melt and wet him, it will keep him
warm. The little babies are not
strong enough to knock the snow
aside and get away, so they just lie
still there and go to sleep. When
church is out the father goes to
where the baby is and puts his hands
down into the snow and pulls the
baby out and shakes off the snow;
then the reindeer trots off, a good
deal faster than a horse, and takes
them all home again.

POPE Plus
Reports OF the Euch artistic
Congress fiIis Ills Heart
with Joy.

''The more detailed are the reports
! receive about the Eucharistic Con-
gress at Vienna the more my heart is
filled with JOY" Plus x is said to
have exclaimed. Cardinal Van Ros-
sum, as Papal Legate to the congress,
sent the Pontiff an autograph letter
from Emperor Francis Joseph in
answer to that which the Pope wrote
to him accrediting the Legate at
Vienna. The Holy Father is also
greatly pleased at seeing how all the
countries of the world we're repre-
sented at the congress, including
America, which had there, besides a
considerable number of ecclesiastics,
one Of the Pope's private Chamber
lains of the Cape and Sword, Marquis
Martin Maloney, of Philadelphia,
who is expected early next year for
his turn of duty at the Vatican. The
next Eucharistic Congress will be
held in Malta, and Cardinal Bourne,
Archbishop of Westminster. will
be the Papal Legate. Such
a concourse is expected that, owing
to the impossibility of housing all
the guests at the hotels of the cap
ital, Valleta, 1t is planned to charter
steamers, transporting those who go
to the congress from various coun-
tries, and have the steamers remain
in the harbor to serve as habita-
ton until the congress is over. In
this way there will be one or more
steamers from the United States, one
from Ireland, one from England. etc.

GOOD FOLK
Told Uudeniabie Truths by
a New York Pro-
testant.

In a recent issue OF Life we find
the following from ]. p. Lucas, with
whom all true Americans can agree:
while there are so many good
folks, in their own way, ranting
about the religious beliefs of our
aspirants to political office, why is It
that all seem to like to take a peck
at the Roman Catholic? It's funny.
It's to laugh. Especially when the
most bitter declare they're the only
ones who are saving the country.
Were not the Puritans, the Quakers,
the Huguenots and other creeds
forced to come to the lands of the
Indian for religious freedom? So
why should one sect be entitled to
more than the other? We hear a lot
about how Roman Catholics are driv-
ing the country to the dogs. But who
made these United States possible?
Wasn't Il Catholic France, when the
men of 1875 were down and out, that
sent her war vessels, her soldiers, her
Generals and money to us and saved
us. while Lutheran Germany's Hes
sian troops and England's were try
ing to crush us under foot? My
ancestors have been on these shores
since the day they arrived with
William Penn, and they fought and
bled to make these United States, but
they did no more, and today are do
ing no more, to make the eagle
scream than are our Roman Catholic
citizens"

ROSARY.
The Virtue of This MostEx.
ceIIeut Catholic
Devotion.

October is dedicated by Mother
Church to devotion to the holy ros-
AIRY. The virtue of this excellent
devotion of the rosary consists not
in the often repeated Our Father and
Hail Mary, as'though we should be
heard for our much speaking, but in
the pious reflection of the mind upon
the mysteries to which they have
reference, in devout meditation upon
them, and in sweet affections toward
God raised in us by their contempla-
ton. In this we should initiate the
Psalmist, who unused within himself
till the fire kindled, and then he
spoke with his tongue. Let us like
wise muse upon these mysteries till
the fire of divine love kindles within
us, and then we may profitably use
the vocal prayer of the rosary. 1t
will be better thus to say a single
mystery than to run over all the
beads, repeating each Our Father and
Hail Mary after the other without
stopping, in the hope that thus the
fire will be kindled within us in pro-
portion to the ground we get over.

KIND ACTS PAY.

A few little kindnesses done for an
old lady several years ago were amply
repaid when Miss louise Madden. a
seventeen-year-old girl who lives With
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel Mad
den, on a farm near Boulder, Col. re-
ceived word that $4,000 had been
bequeathed to her in the will of
George Hanson, of Brooklyn, ". Y.
Hanson, who was tweDty-seven years
old and rich, died in Brooklyn a month
ago from the effects of fever contract
ed in Mexico.
Miss Madden, who came to Colorado
with her parents nearly three years
ago, formerly resided in a little
suburb of Brooklyn, the principal res
idents of which were factory workers
AT that time the aged mother of
Hanson lived next door to the Mad
deDs. Louise. then small girl
helped the old lady in her housework
and performed various acts of kind
ness for her.
Hanson at that time was in Mexico
prospecting. He struck it rich, but
contracted severe fever in the south
ern country. He sold his mining
claims for large sum and returned to
his mother in Brooklyn.
In the meantime the Maddens had
moved West. When her son returned
Mrs. Hanson told him of the kindness
shown her. He was so well pleased
that he determined to remember Miss
Madden in his will.
Miss Madden was too modest to dis
cuss her good fortune when inter
viewed She hesitatingly admitted
that the sum was far in excess of the
amount of money she had hoped to
amass during her entire life.
II really never did anything worth
mentioning for Mrs. Hanson" she
said 1--WE were neighbors and I used
to held her a little because she was
old and sick"
According to the will Miss Madden
does not receive the principal until
she becomes of age. During the five
years she is forced to wait she will
receive the interest.

Crookston and Grand Forks Lumber
companies have $4,000, 900 feet Of
logs. After having accumulated a
good head Of water above the dam at
st. Hilaire. the gates were opened and
an effort made to get the entire drive
over the dam at Red Lake Falls with
a crew of 200 river rats" While
advantage was taken of all the water.
only a third of the logs were piloted
over the Red Lake Falls dam. The
st. Hilaire dam was opened again yes
terday. when another batch was
coaxed past Red Lake Falls. The
gates have been closed again and it
is hoped soon to have the remainder
past Red Lake Falls. Water will be
stored in the Clearwater to bring the
drive, Or Of 1t. the rest of the
way down the Red Lake river so that
the Crookston and Grand Forks lum-
Der companies can resume the sea-
on's run.
The river was never so low at this
season Of the year. The Crookston
and Thief River Falls lumber COM
panies have had a dredge at work
deepening the channel where the Red
Lake river leaves Red lake. and the
three new channels opened treble the
flow. but because of the low stage it
takes an immense quantity of water
to make much Of an impression as so
much of 1t soaks into the banks. It
is hoped to get the head of the drive
here by the end Of two weeks, but
this is not certain without rain.
