.HUMUULA SHEEP STATION
SOLD BY SAM PARKER, JR.;;
PRICE NAMED $4,000

A deal was closed yesterday after
noon through the firm of Williamson
&c Buttolph by which the big Humuu.
la Sheep Station on the island of Ha.
waii was sold by Samuel Parker, Jr.,
to William Williamson, trustee. The
price paid is said to be $4,000, and
as yet the real purchaser of the prop
erty is not known outside of the few
persons directly interested. Mr.. VIII.
hanson left for Hawaii on the Mauna
Kea this morning where he will take
possession of the property as the
agent for the new owner.
A good deal of speculation was cur
rent in the commercial district this
morning as to the identity of the pur
chaser of the big ranch. The consen.
sus of opinion seems to be that the
property is to become a part of the
Parker Ranch, which it joins, but A.
w Carter, manager of the latter com.
pany, refused to confirm this, when
seen this morning, though evidently
being fully conversant with the deal
Another rumor is to the effect that
Theo. II. Davies & Company has be
come identified with the ranch.
The Humuula sheep ranch is for
the most part leasehold from the
territory. It consists of $3.50 acres of
government land, and pays a rental
TO the territory of $3.50 per annum
The present lease was executed six
years ago, and has until January I,
1880, to run. The ranch is situated
in the great plains between the noun.
tains of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa,
at an elevation of some 1000 or 5000
feet. The climate is said to be very
pleasant.

KOOLAU RAILWAY
STILLDOUBTFUL -.
OF JURISDICTION

The KUolau Railway Co, which,
through it's local agents, recently
questioned the Jurisdiction Of the Pub
lie Utilities Commission when the lat
ter requested that the company fur
nish Il with a schedule of its rates,
fares and classifications OF such. evil
IDENTIFY intends making an investiga-
ton OF its own before II decides def
nitely whether il should comply with
the commissions request. With a
view to obtaining this end. it has writ
ten the commission asking that il be
furnished with copies OF the public
utilities law.
IN answer to this letter Chairman
E. A. Mott-Smith has communicated
with the company as follows:
AS there seems to be some misap-
prehension between us in regard &c
your furnishing the commission with
your rates, beg to state that the
commission does not desire such ma
terial for the purpose of regulating
your rates, concerning which the com
missions authority is doubtful, but fol
the information and files of this Of
flee. The commission believes II has
authority to require your company TO
furnish this commission with your
rates under section OF Act 127 Of the
laws of 1918, for this purpose.
Further than this, and the require
ments TO pay fees under Act l27 OF
the laws OF 1913, the commission has
exercised no jurisdiction over your
company. We also believe that We
have the authority to investigate into
the condition of your company and
make recommendations but as to the
extent of application thereof, we have
taken no further steps than the above
up TO this time.
"We also believe that the lines of
oui. jurisdiction and authority should
be drawn by ourselves and by others.
whenever the opportunity arises, and
that every action toward that end
should secure proper consideration on
the merits from everybody, including
the public, without fear of prejudice.

cause, without this act, its authority
over the utilities named is not fixed

viii Queneh That Thirst
POOR packing IS
BIG PROBLEM FOR
MARKET DIVISION

Poor packing is one OF the biggest
problems just now that the Territorial
Marketing Division has to contend
with in its work Of selling island
produce. This morning, for instance,
the floor of the divisions warehouse
on Queen street was piled up with
several hundreds of pounds, more or
less, of carrots-good carrots, too, but
they were of every size and they had
been dumped into sacks without wash
ing, punching, or sorting Of any kind.
The tops had not been trimmed and
were covered with soil A couple OF
men of the division were busy most
Of the morning washing the yegeta.
bles, and tying them In uniform bunch
es. 1T would be practically impos-
sible to sell those carrots as We re-
ceiyed them" said A. T. Longley, who
IS in charge Of the division. this morn
ing. But there is very fair mar
ket for them when they are in an at
tractive shape. This is simply an ex-
ample of the ignorance or careless
ness of good many people, that is
making our work expensive and hard,
and is bad besides for the producer.
Badly Packed Eggs.
There are a lot of eggs which came
In from one of the other islands"
continued Mr.. Longley. Some of them
are packed in straw. some in rice
hulls, some in paper. Every egg has
TO be handled in order to ascertain
low many there are, and 1t is big
Job in itself Besides the eggs get
broken more easily than in regular
crates. There are lot of eggs Il have
1T an idea how many packed in
that old coal oil case. One end Of
the box you see is saturated with oil.
There is every probability that at
least a part of those eggs will be
tainted with coal-oil flavor, for eggs
are pretty nearly as bad as butter to
take up odors. Then the eggs are OF
every size. shape and color-no sort
ing whatever. They NAV be perfectly
fresh. but it is impossible to get the
best prices for such product"
But the people of the islands are
getting rapidly acquainted with the
marketing division. and appreciate its
services. as evidence by the great
amount of produce which is now com.
ing in from all over the territory, and
it Is probable that in time the import
anee of careful sorting and packing
will become better understood, and
growers viii profit accordingly as their
fresher and better products are made
to compare in appearance with the
produce brought from the mainland.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 2e, 1914.

The warden Of the Wisconsin state
penitentiary has come out strongly in
favor Of the employment Of convict
labor in road building. He has made
q study Of the system Of convict labor
in use in the state of Colorado where
wonderful results have been achieved
By the convicts and he recommends
that if Wisconsin decides to put the
convicts at work on the roads that the
Colorado plan be adopted. It is
probable that in order to pave the
way for convict road labor, the legis-
lature will be asked to pass indeter-
inmate sentence and good time laws
along the lines Of those in force in
that state and as there is considerable
sentiment in the state in favor Of US
ing the convicts in labor that will di-
rectly benefit the people of the whole
state the question of employing the
conviets in this work is likely to be
thoroughly threshed out at the next
session. Illinois experimental along
this line last summer with very salts
factory results and the reports from
every state where this plan has been
tried have been favorable.

Any one who has seen the mud and
filth that squirts out when one of the
fire hydrants is first opened will favor
having all of these hydrants flushed
cut at least twice a month. A rule
requiring the flushing Of every hydrant
would get a lot of mud and filth out
of the mains that might get back into
the water and this work could be
done at very little expense to the city.
lit would also give the assurance that
all Of the hydrants in the city are in
condition for use at all times Under

MAY HOLD TOWN CAuCuSEs
School Board of Five Members to Have
Charge of All County Schools Must
be Elected at Coming Spring Elec-
tions-No Candidates in Sight.

1.-TWO new laws of greatest interest
to the voters in the towns of the
county were placed on the statutes as
result of the last session Of the leg
islature,' y said County Clerk Russell
III. Jones this morning, and the vot-
ers in the county should have the wild
est possible chance to study these laws
and become familiar with their provi-
sions before the spring election. One
ct them relates to the nomination of
candidates for town officials and the
other to the election of the county
board Of education. Electors in the
county seem in some way to have got
ten the idea that the old caucus has
been done away with entirely and that
the primary election, similar to the
city primary, has taken its place. This
is not the case. The effect of the new
law is to make town elections non
partisan elections and it provides:
That the electors of any town may
assemble in caucus to make nomination
of candidates for town officers, at
which caucus only qualified electors OF
such towns shall participate and on the
demand of any elector the vote shall
be by ballot. Such caucus shall be
held at least seven days prior to the
day for holding the election and a eau
Gus committeeAmf three qualified cleo
tors shall be Eected at such caucus
and shall give at least five days no
tice fixing the time and place of the
next caucus to be held in such town.
AT any election at which town Of
| ficers are to be elected, candidates for
any office shall be nominated either by
caucus as provided above or by nomina.
ton papers, signed by electors of such
town equal in number to ten per cent
of all the votes cast in such town OF
village for all candidates for COVER
nor at the last preceding general cleo
tion. Such nomination papers shall be
| filed in the office Of the town clerk
at least FIVE days prior to holding OF
! the election.
i
sThe town clerk shall cause to be
| printed a sufficient number Of sample
and official ballots, such sample bal
lots shall be printed upon tinted paper
and the official ballots on white paper
and both shall be of sufficient length
and width to afford space for the
names of all candidates The names
of the candidates shall be arranged in
alphabetical order, under their respec
tive office designations. Sufficient
space shall be left under each office
to write name in lieu of any name
printed therein.
The names of the persons nominal
ed in the manner provided in this sec
ton and none other shall be placed up
on the official ballots, provided that il
case no nominations are made, the
spaces in which names of candidates
may be printed or written shall be left
blank. Ballots not provided by the re
spective town clerks shall not be
counted in any election, but any vot
ers may write upon his ballot The
