Gooding Field Points Out Folly
Of Disseminating Audit at
This Time.
(Mail Special TO Tho Advcrtiscr.J

mai Nlt'lul 10 H' AbNtlllHtI.)
HILO, December 2G.-Thc absurdity
of disseminating the detailed audit of
the county books at this time has been
made all the palmer by recent tate
ment prepared for The ADVERTISE by II.
Gooding Field, who points out the iOlIy
of beginning the new year by accepting
any of the balances as shO.n IA The
books of the county treasurer ana the
county auditor by references to irrcg-
ularit.es discovered even since the OF
fetal request for an appropriation was
made to the supervisors. That there
are so many things not regular, in the
books as to make the present posting
of little value is MIR. Field 5 cOutcu-
ton.
Almost every time the county rec
ords are taken up for examination new
irregularities are discovered. The fol
lowing for instance, are a few of the
things Mr. Field has uncovered in the
past fortnight, while he has Il pile of
questionable documents laid aside for
further investigation.
Warrant No. 1888, dated December
81, 1910, for $780, was issued by the
then auditor, G. X. Mcguire, to the
county attorneys department, and as
signed to the First Bank of IIilo. No
authorization for the warrant is to bC
found in the records of the supervisors,
but it was endorsed &C. X. Mcguire, -
and cashed at the bank on January s.,
1911. 1t was never sent to the county
attorneys department. This fraudu.
lent transaction might he the forcrun-
ncr of similar operations on the part
of the convicted auditor, which the con
tinuatiOn of the detailed audit alone
would show.
A number of duplicate payments OF
! authorized accounts have been located.
Another Phase.
Another phase of the slack financial
methods employed by the county Off
cials may he mentioned, as follows:
The aforementioned warrants are n
! few of some which have been cashcd
by the First Bank OF Ililo, and the
county treasurer had redeemed the
same by his check: the warrants, how
| ever, bear no cancellation stamp Of the
! county treasurer, aud il was only by
| running down each itom in all the war.
rants cancelled covering n number Of
months, that these warrants were To-
| Gated.

months that the dog quarantine station

Just crawl OF aud die, but this one
expired and had post norton all to

Not only that, but his owner, G. G..
Won lIamm. has instructed his legal al.
visery to take the necessary steps 60
make the Territory, through the beard

ave hundred dollars the dog was worth
before he curlcd up and passed away,

Tie following facts are brought
out in the current issue Farm and
Firesidc:
Her Ladyship the Hen, is tbs
most respected creature Of all the
feathered race. Her culture, whet-
her on small or large scale, is most
pleasurable and profitable.
AT one time, only the retired
army officer, the invalid and the
ne'er-do-well went in for poultry
farming. All has now changed.
Poultry-farming lie boomingl The
clerk is leaving his pedestal, the
draper his counter-all are bent on
poultry-farming. A recent recruit
to the fancy is a well-known come
dian. Paderewski and his wife, too,
deyote attention to prize fowls.
Prlces now range from $3.50 to
$500 for tiptop birds.
The champion cockerel Of 1907
changed hands 3 times for $3.50,
$500 and finally for $3.50. Bantams,
too, have fetched as much as $500 a
pair.
The purchase of champion birds
is to a degree speculation; they
may die at any time. The adver.
tisement, however, is in the posses
sing of such masterpieces of the
breeders handicraft. The famous
Partridge Wyandotte cock which
was sold in 1904 for 1926 is an ex-
ception; it is still living, This won
derful bird was originally shown at
the Dairy Show, in London, Eng,
where it secured 1st prize, being
