The Main Consideration

In trading is to get the best possible
value for the money one spends. al
so something that pleases the indi-
Vidua1 taste.
AS to value, we carry only first
quality goods. which we buy to
better advantage than most stores.
as we operate two large stores.
and sell at a moderate profit. We
have but one price to all, regardless
OF how much or how little you buy
and an honest merchant can have
but one price.
Regarding choice-its always
larger here than elsewhere, there
fore we are in better position to
give you merchandise that con-
forms to your own ideas and that
you want.
ABSOLUTE SATISFACTION .
with every purchase, we'll refund your money
The above, which is our 'spatform" should surely

Milwaukee Will Withdraw Freight Rate
Advances.

Pierre, S. D.. July 27.-The
Milwaukee railway company has
agreed to withdraw the recent adj
vances made in freight rates from
the principal towns in South Da-
kota west, and has petitioned the
railway commission to withdraw
its complaint before the interstate
commerce commission concerning
the interstate part of such rates. 1t
has also agreed to maintain daily
mixed train service on the Dupree
branch of the Puget Sound and the
Commercial club of that place has
withdrawn its complaint praying
for the same. The commission
will hold a hearing in the Dallas
sand case at that place on August
9TH, and has indefinitely postponed
the Milbank case hearing.

CELEBRATION BAND
TO BE BIG ATTRACTION
SEVERAL FINE MUSICIANS WILL Be MEN,
BtRS OF BAND DURING CELEBRA.
TON FESTIVITIES.

Congreve said that music has
charms to soothe the savage breast,
to soften rocks, and bend the
knotted oak" Our band will not
bend the knotted oak unless some
one imports the tree. nor soften
rocks because none of its members
were ever confined in state insti-
tuition, but it will soothe the saw
age as well as the unsavage breast
and delight both ear and eye.
J. J. Cason, director Of the South
Dakota State Band, will arrive the
day before the celebration begins
and take full charge of the band.
With Him will come a tuba and
cornet player. Irving Weeks, the
fine slide trombone player. who
was heard with the band last year
will be on hand again, also R. C..
Craige of Cheyenne Agency, an
other slide trombone artist.
The band will consist OF the fol-
lowing pieces, ten of whom are To-
cal boys and ten from outside
places:
Two clarinets. three solo cornets,
one first cornet, three altos, three
tenors, two slide trombones. two
baritones, two basses, and two
drums, making a total Of twenty
pieces. This excellent organiza-
ton will give morning and even
ing, free, outdoor concerts; head
the daily street parade on the
march and also be on duty at the
grandstand, during the sports pro-
gram everylafternoon. The only
difficulty in the way of the organ
ization will be the lack of much
practice together, but as all of the
outside players are experienced
band men and Our local boys will
be already familiar with most of
the music to be used, it is thought
that under the skillful leadership
of Mr.. Cason, we will have much
better band than last year for the
occasion.

TARIFF REVISION BILL
PRICE OF. SUGAR SHOULD GO DOWN
TARIFF ON WOOL REDUfED..-RECI.
PROCITY REPEALED.

The u. S. senate within the last
few days has gotten busy on tariff
legislation. A week ago ten pro-
gressives joined with the demo-
Gratis and passed the LaFollette
tariff revision bill on wool, and on
Saturday the republicans got to-
gether and compromised on 9 SUI
gar tariff bill which reduces the
tariff on that staple to the extent
that it is thought the new measure,
if concurred in by the house and
made law, will reduce the cost Of
sugar to consumers $40, 900 900
annually. 1t will also reduce the
government customs receipts S.
500, 900.
A union of progressive and
democratic strength was also re-
sponsible in passing the democratic
tax bill, extending the present tax
on corporations to the business of
individuals. private concerns and
co-partnerships and carrying with
it an amendment repeating the
Canadian reciprocity law and re-
ducing the tariff on print paper
from $3.75 to $500 per ton.

ed for those who work steadily.
In answer to questions by Attorney
Ashford, he said the small sugar cane
planters on the Windward side OF Ha-
waii did not find their crops profit
able, and told of several instances,
giving names, in which the planters
were driven from the industry by the
iinequitable rates made them by the
sugar mills. = 10:
His father saved himself by getting
q stockholders interest in the Mama
kua Mill Co. Returning to the home
steading question, he said that the
auction system of disposing of home
stead lands is absolutely unfair, the
plantation managers and rich men
bidding the lots out of reach OF the
poor man. He recited several In
stances, and said the cash freehold
system Is poor. He preferred the g.
year lease, but thought the right-of-
purchase lease is better than the cash
freehold system. -
Under questioning by Attorney Oh
son, he admitted that IL the cash
freehold system were eliminated 1t
would remove one obstacle to proper
demonstrating. He declared that II
the land is to be kept from the cor
porations, the 99-year lease is the
only method to be adopted. He told
of the cane,planting experience OF
Motley & Son, or his father and him
self, and said that because of a long
contract with the mill, he and his
father could use only $50 acres,
though they had several hundred
acres of land lying idle. The mill
would take no more cane from them
than what they raised on ESQ acres.
The Secretary then asked him
about the rate he thought the mills
should be entitled to. He said that
while he had never sat down and
figured it out definitely, he estimated
that it should have only one-fourth

Freight Rates Up.
Asked regarding steamer freight
rates in the early days, he said that
when he got lumber on Hawaii 1t had
cost about $65 thousand feet. The
cost of the lumber in Honolulu was
about $45, and the difference went
to the steamship line He said the
landing charges there are about 40

that presents successful homestead
ing by white men. -,
He said the white mechanics on
the plantations are gradually being
replaced by other nationalities.
Byron o. Clark was the next wit
ness Waen he came here in 1897
his first move was to get q piece ~
land. which he acquired eventually by
lease from the railroad company. He
| worked that until 1902 or 1903. when
he and some others organized a cor,

tion of the land. He told of the set.

said the colony idea is a very invalu.

schools, cooperative business, etc.
The colony had rough weather" at
the beginning and several families re
Quired assistance, while they could
not raise more than enough to feed
their livestock the first two years.
He said he is the first man to try
| raising pineapples on homestead
land. With the present marketing
conditions, where the canneries art
accessible, he thought homesteaders
can raise pineapples successfully.
Under the present system. he
thought the canneries are very fair
and that the small growers are able
to make money. Each grower. with
a little extra money, might can his
own fruit, but it is question whether
he could get his sugar as cheaply and
could market it IN competition with
the larger cannery, whose brand is
better known. ~.
DIR. E. v. Wilcox, of the Federal
Experimental Station was called. He
explained his duties here, as inter
preted by the Secretary of the De-
partment of Agriculture, are confined
to study of soils, fruits, such as pine
apples and papaias, and to rubber,
and kindred subjects. but that no at
tention is paid to sugar cane, as there
are not no sufficient funds available
/ for an exhaustive study of that crop.
He said he, thought that two small

|homesteads. He said, sdf course, the
men, must be big men. Homesteaders
make more in Arizona and nearly any
part of the United States than they
can do on the same amount of land
here. A man should have 80 to 100
acres here. They talk much of in
tensive agriculture down here" he
said. "As matter of fact, there is
really no intensive farming here"
He then took up the figures given
in the hearings as the incomes from
cane lands to the growers, and de-
clared that these are out of all pro-
portion to the incomes of farmers on
the mainland--not sufficient for a
living in fact.

Secretary's question, that the land

Returning to the discussion of cane
lands. cultivation and mill charges, he
said he knew of one case where the
Portuguese planters were getting only
a.75 a ton for cane.
Earl K Ellsworth, pineapple plan
tation worker, was next called. He
came originally from Wisconsin, as
a volunteer in the army. He went to
work on the Honolulu plantation,
where he received 20 to % per cent.
more than the wages paid for the
same kind of labor ON the mainland.
Later he took a homestead on a
homestead tract. There were about
twenty other homesteaders on the
same tract, virtually all white men,

size. The tract had been surveyed
as agricultural and grazing land, and
little was known definitely as to the

social life is found among the white
employees OF the plantations.
His place is twenty-one miles from
Honolulu, and most of his crops,
which are principally pineapples, are
sold right on the place, TO the can
merry. He did not think taxes were
too high.
Asked by Attorney Ashford con-
corning cane cultivation, he said he
had little experience, but not enough
TO discuss 1t intelligently.
Charles K Motley was then called.
He said he is homesteader, having
homesteader since 1898 at Hamakua.
He and others took up a number Of
pieces at that time, he taking his on
a right-of-purchase lease. The home
steaders were mixed races, part-Ha-
waiians, Portuguese and white. He
himself is part-Hawaiian.
His lot was ~ acres, and he began
the growing Of coffee, which he con-
tinues to the present day. He had
heard the statements of others at the
Fisher hearings concerning their fail
ures to grow this crop.
He said the trouble is that it takes
about four years to get the crop
started profitably, and thought that
in general the homesteaders should
get governmental help If they are to
raise coffee. ~ F
He said he thought Hawaii should
be governored by a utility" man or
board appointed, from Washington,

Il believe, as a Hawaiian, We
ought to have Governor appointed

way this trouble can be settled"
He spoke In feeling terms of the
poor, oppressed Hawaiians," and fl
nally created a ripple of laughter
when he declared that all the whites,
no matter when they came here, are
really "carpet.baggers !"
He thought the Hawaiians should
be given back a large portion of
their lands, and that "A committee
should see that all natives got homes.
Fisher said that system is used
with the Indians on the mainland, but
the trouble was in getting them to
spend their money properly. He said
the Indians have some of the richest
lands in the country.
Asked what should be done If the,
natives squandered away the lands
given them, he caused another laugh
by declaring: Give them more land. :"
He said he works on his own land,
and personally superintends the labor
he employed to help cultivate it.
He first declared the right-of-pHr-.

1t is true that natives won't work six
