BIG CONTEST ATTRACTS MANY.
o. A. G. and U. of o. Will Have
Lively Battle November 20.

What will perhaps be the greatest
football battle ever staged in Oregon
will be that to be played at Eugene
on November 20, between the teams
of the Oregon Agricultural college
and the state university. The eastern
crusade of the former, in which it tlS-
umphed over the Michigan Agricul-
tural college, has put the team on a
perch as a popular idol not only with
lovers of sport in this state, but in
the middle west and east, where the
football of the far-west has long been
considered very mediocre. 1t is the
avowed intention of the university
team to demolish the perch and bring
victory to its own home. But that
being as it may, there is a wonderful
amount Of interest being developed
in the contest among Dallas people.
The university team has a good rep
of Dallas athletes on its
lineup in Snyder and Hoisington, and
perhaps that adds enthusiasm to the
local followers of the gridiron game.
Arrangements have been started, al
though not as yet perfected, for the
operation of special train between
and Eugene, at the in
stigation of local sportsmen, for the
accommodation of those in this part
Of the valley who wish to see the
Dig game. The special will come
through Dallas, thence to Indepen-
lence and on to Eugene, where the
seasons big game will bring out the
great athletic rivalry between the two
schools. 1t is said that the odds
slightly favor the victorious Aggie
cam because of its recent Michigan
yictory, but the Oregon team does
lot take the slightest stock in that.
The game will be well worth seeing
1t any rate, and the many Dallasites
Who attend will appreciate the efforts
oward securing a special train.

GARDEN. ISLAND MAN
ASUIC|DE BY: HANGING

George Gardner, a well known resi-
dent of Homestead, Kauai committed
suicide, by. hanging, a few days ago.
The Garden fsfanH Of rLihSe of last
Tuesday gives the following account
of the occurance:
enquiry as to the facts connected
with the death of George Gardner, of
Kalaheo, has developed the statement
that he had for a long time threatened
suicide, and had on more than one oc.
casion tried to take his own life. He
had been afflicted for eighteen years
with a stomach trouble, and although
frequently urged to do so had refused
to undergo an operation.
"It appears that a dog led the way
to the body, which was hanging to
tree not far from the mans house.
A man named Kuaa was repairing a
fence near the spot. A dog came out
of the lantana and began to whine.
Kuaa threw a stone or stick at the
animal, when the dog ran back to the
tree and continued his strange actions.
Kuaa went forward to investigate and
found the body hanging there.
"Gardner was a son-in-law of Mr..
and Mrs. William Kruse, of Eleele, and
the father of eleven children. He lived
and worked on the Island of Hawaii
several years and returned to Kauai
only few years ago to take up home
stealing at Kalaheo.p

H|LO MAY Be INCLUDED
IN GRAND OPERA SEASON

Hilo as well as Honolulu will have a
short season of grand opera early next
year. 1t is the plan of the De Folco
Grand Opera Company, after finishing
the four or six week season in this
city, to 90 to Hilo for not more than
one week, and possibly also to Maui,
If sufficient support can be assured,
Madame De Folco, now N Honolulu,
will go to IIilO early next month to see
what housing arrangements can be
made at one of the theaters in the
Crescent City, and there she will meet
Signor de Folco and the entire com.
pauy of seventy five musicians, when
they arrive in the Great Northern on
January II. A trip to see Kilauea
crater is planned for the whole com
pany, which will sail the same evening
for Honolulu, arriving here the morn
ing of January ~, in ample time to
hold rehearsals and learn the advan.
tages and limits of the stage at the
Opera House before the opening of the
season with Nerdi's Aida on the
evening of January H..
A vast amount of scenery and cos.
tunes are to he brought to Honolulu,
but Hlo people will be given a chance
to signify which operas they prefer,
and only such scenery as is necessary
will be taken to the Big Island. In
Honolulu at least sixteen operas will
be presented.

RUBBER PROPOSITIONS
ARE ON PAYING BASIS

Holders of Tanjong Olok Rubber Plan
tation stock in this city will be pleased
to know that the directors of the com.
pany yesterday decided to pay a one.
per cent a month dividend, beginning
with the first of the new year. The
dividend of half-of one percent a
share has been paid for some time, but
with the present price of rubber at
Singapore and the splendid output of
the plantation there is no debut, should
the price continue at the present figure,
or a shade lower, that the income of the
plantation will be sufficient to continue
this payment.
The directors have received informa,
ton that the output of Tanjong Olok
has increased to about $4,000 pounds
a month and the price that has been
received at Singapore has averaged
1914 cents a pound. While the com,
pany is earning more than three per
cent a month the directors have de,
cided that they will put away in the
reserve fund two dollars for every dol,
lar they pay out in dividends.
Reports from Pahang Rubber Com.
pany are also very reassuring and the
crop now being taken off amounts to
about $4,000 pounds q month. The
debt of $1,000 has been paid off in the
last two or three months and left a
neat balance on the right side of the
ledger. With the present price and
output this company also is paying
about three per cent a month, but no
dividend as yet has been decided on by
the directors. This is anticipated in the
near future by one of the large stock
holders who has been interested in the
Pahang proposition since its inception.
1t will be the policy of the directors
of the TanjOng Olok to maintain a
steady monthly dividend Of one per
cent, with special dividends as the in
'reased income warrants from time to
time.

GOVERNMENT MUST
PAY FOR SERVICE
Utilities Board Holds Territory
Nor Counties Are Entitled To
/. Rate Exemptions

The public utilities commission met
yesterday afternoon. The granting Of
the new proposed rates of the Maui
Telephone Company and the receipt of
several bills from Chairman Charles R.
forbes in Washington. confirming the
acts of the legislature, were the most
important topics brought up for discus
sion. flu
The raise in the rates of the Maui
Telephone Company brings to an end
all Of the discussion about them both
for and against, and, In return, the
telephone company jwig DO its best to
install compi4f and sefiicient telephane
service, which will repay the people in
the end, Although there have been
many kicks against this raise, only one
was sent in before the utilities com.
mission, which, after being discussed by
the commission, was overruled.
One Objection Raised 49,. ..... ...
Edwin @. Moore presented the only
objection. He claimed that the present
service for which the people already
were forced to pay a large price, was
wretched, and he did not see why any
raise should be made in the rates, when
the rates at present were far too high
for the convenience they bring He
said that the company at present was
making money, and he did not see why
the new rates should be allowed.
In connection with the same matter,
a reply was made to J. l.. Osmer, who
is in the employ of the Maui board
of health, and who recently asked to
be allowed to use the phone while do
ing official business, without charge.
The matter, which was brought up be-
fore the commission before, had been
referred to the attorney general, and
his answer led the commission to re.
fuse the request. Deputy Attorney
General Heen and Attorney General
Stainback were unanimous in stating
that "'the Territory of Hawaii has no
right to exempt itself or any of the
counties from the public utilities
rates. In O letter from Mr.. Heen
to the commission, which was read at
the meeting, he said:
Exemption not Authorized
''I am of the opinion that you have
no power or authority to exempt the
Territory or the counties from paying
rentals or tolls on telephones used by
them, as such exemption would be a
violation of the constitutional provi-
sion prohibiting the taking of private
property for public use without just
compensation.
Copies of the three bills which Dele
gate Kalanianaole introduced into the
house Of representatives and which
were forwarded by Chairman Forbes,
were read at the meeting. The bills
pertained to certain acts Of the legis-
lature allowing the Honolulu Gas Com
pany and the Hawaiian Electric Com
PAW to extend their franchise outside
Of Honolulu to other parts of Oahu.

IuGnhoe SURVIVORS Arrive
From Port Allen, Kauai

the wreck Of the Ivanhoe, met death in
the heavy seas occasioned by the big
blow. The presumption is that the men
are Japanese fishermen.
On Monday the body of a man was
seen floating in the harbor at Port Al.
len, The body sank before 4. coull he
recovered. Another body ar?Sared on
the surface of the harbor further up
in the mouth Of the Hanapepe river. II
came within twenty feet of the shore
and IL could be seen that the man had
black hair and blue coat. This body
also disappeared in the swell before it
could be drawn ashore.
The storm, which extended all over
Kauai, was one of the worst in the his.
tory Of the island.
The following is taken from the Gar.
den Islands account of the storm:
Three of the oldest, largest and
pretticst trees in the park of Lihue
Union church went down in the storm.
These trees were planted by the early
settlers many years ago, and were Of
much historic interest. In falling they
bore down the electric light wires, but
no other damage was done.
Z SAll streams around Lihue became
raging torrents and have remained so
ever since Saturday. The rice fields
near Nawiliwili are like lakes. All
side roads, leading from the belt road,
are entirey out of commission and many
people are weatherbound in the neigh
boring settlements.
