STRINGING THE FARM FER.

Why has cotton been advancing in price? Why was it quoted at IA cents a. pound on one occasion in the Calves ton market last week? The answer is easy, says the As-Beaumont (Texas) Enterprise, which propounded the queries and then proceeded to answer them saying: About ten days ago there was a slump in ocean freight rates. Ship brokers who had been charging exporters from $2.50 to S3 a hundred pounds to carry cotton to foreign ports suddenly announced that they had ship room to sell at $1.50. This meant that the ocean rate had been reduced as much as one and one half cents per pound in some instances. Different reasons were given for this unexpected drop in ocean rates. But, no matter what the true reason may have been. the fact remained that a penalty of from one to one and half cents per pound, in the shape of an ocean freight charge, had been re- moved. Naturally enough the market advanced in consequence. It is anus ing then, in the face of condition of that kind, to find that certain organi- zations and newspapers are throwing bouquets at themselves on the as sumption that they are responsible for the higher quotations because they have been suggest.n first one and then another scheme as a remedy for low prices.

ANOTHER "MEANEST" MAN.

Little Rock, July 5.-John w. Lans- ley, a gas expert from Chicago, was in Little Rock this week, and incident ally remarked that he had discovered in Munice, Ind, an individual who is inherently meaner than the man who reads the gas meter. He says there is a man up there who borrows money from his friends and deposits in the savings bank at 4 per cent interest until the time comes to repay the loans.

NO NUUAI'IN|U dam
WEAKNESS FOUND
YET, IT APPEARS.

r. An hour of technical questions and
answers occupied the hearing last
night by the special advisory commit
tee of engineers upon the safety OF
Nuuanu dam. With Chairman F. b.
Smith leading the WY, questions were
put to Fred G. Kirchhoff, engineer for
the city water works, George Moore,
tender at the dam, James T. Taylor,
engineer for the Oahu water investiga-
ton commission, and Harry Murray,
superintendent of city water.
Kirchhoff's testimony was the most
interesting as we'll as the most techni-
cal of the evening He has made sew
eral examinations of the dam and the
pipes and gave the results in engineer
ing terms last night. In general he
held that while there is some lekages
through the pipes, and possibly
through the dam structure itself. the
leakage is not enough to make the
dam unsafe. ....
. Chairman Smith, Ed J. Lord, Carl
B. Andrews, r. Rowland and Super
intendent of Public Works Forbes did
the questioning. They were particu'
larly trying to find out whether the
water known to be leaking through
the dam comes through inability to
close the pipes or through the dam
structure; also whether faults in the
wooden-stave pipe necessarily consti-
tute a menace, or whether the con-
crete covering may remain intact. The
answers, while indicating that the con-
crete pipe is probably all right, we're
not conclusive, and it was noticed that
Ed Lord made the comment that a
good deal of water is running to waste
even with the valves closed, possibly
indicating serious leaks through the
dam structure.
Chairman Smith appeared to take
the view that nothing. has yet been
found to indicate structural weakness
or danger in the dam.
The committee will make another
visit to the dam Sunday and crawl
through the main pipe. At later hear
ing it is expected that T. F. Sedgwick,
the water expert who claims that the
leakage is such that the question OF
the dams safety is involved, will be
called for testimony. .>:...

THREE Matters
ARE DEFERRED
BY SUPERVISORS
Board Discusses Phases of A.
fairs at Length But Waits
to Take Action ~.

Action On the purchasing agent ord
nance, the appropriation from the
waterworks fund for the water inyeS-
tigat:On commission and the appro-
pr iatiOn for the city attorneys inyesti-
CATION fund was deferred by the SUI
pcrVisOrS last night. ... 49,.
Supervisor Hatch took advantage OF
the occasion when the proposal TO APP
propriate money from the water
works fund for the investigation COM
mission vas submitted to the board
to say that the commission had been
little unbusinesslike in its dealings
with the finance committee; that il
had not brought in detailed state
ment Of the uses to which the $4,000
asked was to be put but had said that
there was liberal allowance for con-
tingencies At his suggestion the mat
ter was referred to the finance and
water works committees Jointly.
At the last meeting the request for
additional funds was left to be consid-
cred when the budget for the next
fiscal period is made up. A proposal
that the water department advance
the money at once has been submit
ted since then and has the approval
of the water committee and Harry
Murray, manager of the water works.
Discussion on the need of the attor-
neys department for $500 to meet
investigation expenses was the occa-
sion for a sharp exchange of criticism
between Supervisors Hatch and Arm
old. Hatch asked that action he de-
ferred as there was some question as
to the propriety Of the expenditures.
Arnold arose and suggested that as
the attorneys were conducting impor.
tant work in Investigating the activi-
ties of quack doctors the appr0pria-
ton be passed. '.: - e..
Hatch resented the implied criti-
cfsm of his committee and said so.
Asserting that there was a principle
involved he declared that he would
take all the time he thought necessary
before reporting the matter Arnold
warned him that he would introduce a
resolution appropriating the $500 at
the next meeting and the matter was
closed. A few minutes later the two
were warmly advocating another mea-
sure together and apparently had for
gotten their tilt ~:
Supervisor William Larsen said dur
ing the discussion that the police
force and detectives ought to be able
to gather all the evidence needed and
w. T. Garden, deputy city attorney.
explained that as the police were we'll
known to most of the criminals of the
city it was almost impossible for them
to gather evidence in many cases.
The purchasing agent ordinance
amendments were deferred without
discussion. NIT" Ill.,. r..

SYLVIA" PRESENTED
High School Present 0peretta Friday
Evening at the Washington
Auditorium.

The operetta Sylvia given by the
pupils of the High School at the
Washington Auditorium Friday
evening was pronounced by all the
best entertainment ever presented
by the Ely schools. The attend
ance taxed the capacity of the COM
modious auditorium. Every seat
was occupied and standing room
was at a premium.
Those taking part acquitted
themselves with honor and ruany
were the praises given Miss Esther
Englund for the able manner in
which the production was staged
In addition to the operetta as given
in the score, Miss Englund had
interpolated several dances which
enhanced the production.
The cast of the production was
happily carried by an able one.
Miss Margaret Brown as Sylvia
won the honors of the evening
Her colleagues shared honors with
her and altogether made an
ensemble that left nothing to be
desired. Particular praise must be
given Miss Gundberg Berglund

The newspaper man is blamed
for whole lot of things he can't
help, such as using partially in
mentioning visitors, giving news
about some folks and leaving others
out, etc. He simply prints all the
news he can find. Some people
inform him about such things and
others do not. An editor should
not be expected to know the names
and residences of all your uncles,
aunts and cousins, even if he
should see them get on or off the
train. Tell us about it. It's news
that makes the newspaper, and
every man, woman and child can
be associate editor if they only will.
Never apologize when you give
this bit of information to an editor,
for if there lives one so dead that
he has his appreciation of such
favors he is dead, indeed, to every
virtue that imparts value to a
paper.

the pelts of three wolves Sunday
which he killed by chasing them on
his snow shoes. The three wolves
were in sight at one time and each
was killed at short rang with r.

the Indian $45 aside from the fur
itself. The State has not paid its
portion of the SIS bounty for some
time, on account of the exhaustion
of the appropriation for that pur-
pose. However, this will be paid
in time when another appropriation
can be made. Two of the animals
were of the timber wolf family and
were monsters of their kind. The
third was a coyote, or brush wolf.
