sEsT 70 POSTPONE ACTION.

BEST TO POSTPONE ACTION.
We think that nlcst Of the business
men OF Hilo will agree with the pro-
position that II is best to postpone
action in the matter of amending the
Hawaii County Act, until there is
time for full consideration. and that
If there are to be amendments 1t is
best for the county to go ahead as 1t
is, officers and all, until the amend
rlents are made The fact that some
of the proposed changes in the laws
affect an the counties makes it i'm
possible to hope for quick legislative
action, if that were desirable, so that
we could have our March primaries
and May elections as called by the
present law. The other counties will
want to be heard from. The plans
suggested by the Elliot commission
are comprehensive and cannot be
passed upon by the legislature in a
lay. Their approval by a Hilo Board
Of Trade committee which has spent
much time studying them indicates
that they provide good working plan
for improving the organic acts of all
the counties Hence it may be assum-
ed that they will be accepted. with
such notifications as naturally take
place during discussion, by the legis-
lators from other counties. But they
cannot possibly be enacted into law in
time for March election here.
Hawaii county does not want pri-
mary in March, an election in May,
another primary in October and an
other election in November. The al
tentative is to continue things as they
are until the end OF the year and
choose new officers at the regular fail
elections, or to let the law stand as
it is for a couple of years more

A Yacht Of the ,so's.

A Yacht of the 'e0s.
The American brigantine John ID
Spreckels was in the SOS regard
ed as the fastest yacht on the Pacific
ocean. She had accommodate for
Is passengers. Many old-timers will re-
member the quick passages she. made
between San Francisco and the Ha-
Waiian Islands. Her builder, Capt
Mathew Turner, was instructed to
make speed the paramount feature in
her construction, and right well did he
carry out his Instructions. Capt. E.
w. Christensen, now and for many
years past one of our most reliable
and successful pilots, was her master
nearly II years, in that time making
"A round voyages between the Pacific
ceast and the Hawaiian Islands with
her. Three round voyages in success
sion occupied but 2S days each; IL
single trips less than 10 days; two
only a few hours over 8 days. She
had to her credit days run of 1886
miles. Many times she. made over
800 miles. In that period of nearly
IL years she never carried away a
spar. nor was she ever out of com
mission. The swift sailing packets OF
these days have been crowded ont of

meanest Man Located.

Aberdeen.-The meanest man in
South Dakota is running at large in
Brown county. Late in the evening
Hugo Hazel and h. NJ. Christian, two
young Aberdeen business men, with
TWO Groton young women, were auto
MODELLING, and when they neared q
bridge across the James river near
Groton. Heel, who was driving tho
car at a rate Of about % miles an
hour, slowed up to cross the bridge.
Peering ahead he discerned some OBJ
stacle on the bridge. Stopping the
car, he and Christian got out to in,
v~estigate. They found four strands OF
heavy wire, such as that used for tele.
phone or telegraph wires, strung
across the bridge and tightly fastened
to the Orders on either side. The
wires were placed just high enough
to strike a person riding in an auto
mobile across the face, and IL Heel
had not stopped his machine a seri-
accident would have occurred. 1t
is believed the person stringing the
wires may have planned on robbery.

METHOD OF PICKLING ONIONS
Writer Makes Some Suggestions
Which Seem to Be Worthy of
Consideration.

Peeling the onions is a decidedly pain
full task, but it is made less so if they
are done in cold water. Some people
even put them in boiling water and
allow them to come to the boil before
peeling them. I prefer the former
plan. With small silver picking onions
to each quart of vinegar allow two
tablespoonfuls Of black peppercorns,
two teaspoonfuls of allspice, two level
~teaspoonfuls Of salt, two bay leaves.
Remove the outer skin with a silver
knife; if a steel n is used the onions
will turn black. If liked, peel them in
a basin of cold water, for, besides
making the operation less painful, it
helps to whiten them by removing
some of the essential oil. Dry them
lightly in a cloth. Put the vinegar,
spices and bay leaves in a saucepan,
boil them until the vinegar is well
favored. and let it get cold. Put the
onions in jars or ~wide-necked bottle,
fill them up with the vinegar, adding
a little spice to each bottle. Cork
down tightly. They will be ready for
use in about a month.-Boston Globe.

MeiIette Fair Bio Success,

Mellette.-The second annual Mel
lette county fair was held during Sep
TENDER 10, II and u, at which over
1000 Indians attended, their teepe
tents stretching around the city for
about three miles. The display of
fruits, vegetables and grains was a
credit to this e country, the vari
Gus grasses especially making a splen-

was marked by the holdup of a stage
coach by Indians and the taking and
burning of a fort, which was accom-.
plished in spectacular manner. After
the fort had fallen" into the hands
OF the Indians, SO cowboys appeared
on horseback. In the skirmish that
followed Roy Guthrie had a revolver

Trent.-The rapid increase in the
value OF farm land in this part OF the
Big Sioux river valley is shown by sew
era; recent incidents. For instance, in
some parts of Moody county. in the
Trent territory, farm land 10 years
ago was considered high at from $40
to $50 an acre. The price has more
than doubled in the ten years inter
vening. A farmer living near Trent
recently refused an offer of $3.50 an
acre for his farm of $50 acres. The
intending purchaser was prepared to
pay cash, but nevertheless the offer
was refused. Another farmer who
owns a fine farm of about 800 acres
near Dell Rapids, has just refused an
offer of $l75 an acre for his land. AT
the present rate of advancement 1t is
expected ii will not be many years
until sales of farm land in this sec
ton of the Sioux valley at $500 an acre
will be quite common. To the fact
that the territory has not had a com
plete crop failure for 20 years or more
is due the steady advance in the price
Of farm land.
