BUMPER RATTLEsNAKE CROP.
caIifornia's Champion Snake Catcher
Predicts a Record Catch.

From the California mountains have
come reports Of more reptiles TO the
acre Of unadorned nature than the hill
people have known in years. So Har.
ry Davies, with a system full Of snake
poison and with formidable reputa-
tion as a tanner Of wild and woody rat
tiers has assem- bled his camp kit and
foresook his home at Mentone for IN

get bit if he doesn't watch out.
Catching things that travel on their
stomachs is Mr. Davies's real Yoca-
tion. He declares there is more prof

thing else he has 50 far found.
His ayocaion is landscape garden
ing. winter recreation he enjoys
when the chances of a face TO face
meeting with very yenomous rep
lillian are small. To pursue his
search for crawling things he has just
given up work Of experimenting the
parking of the Casa Iona hotel
grounds.
Mr Davies finds a market for his
collection Of unusual live stock in
museums and zoos throughout the
country. He is said to be the cham
pion handler of snakes, and his
friends declare he has the unique
distinction of having been bitten
more often by rattlers than any man
in the country.
This doubtful honor has left Mr.
Dayies's body considerably punctured
and physicians declare his system is
so full OF poison that he has reached
a state OF semi-immunity. To this
condition he feels he owes his life
because recently he had the unusual
experience of being bitten by ella
monster.
The champion snakehunter has the
cheerful habit Of handling various
sorts OF venomous things without re-
moving their fangs. To demonstrate
this to a physician he pried apart the
jaws of iris particular Gila monster
a thing he had often done.
But in the process he broke the
creatures gum and angered il When
he released it the reptile struck at
him with lightning quickness, biting
his hand. To save his life the fin

But the physicians declare even
this heroic treatment would not have
been effective had not the rattlesnake
poison in Mr.. Davies's system partial

A friend OF his who was bitten by
one of these creatures died in fifty
five minutes, despite the same radical
treatment.
In handling the articles of his
strange trade Mr Davies follows

DYSPEPSIA
OF WOMEN
Special Treatment Required.

Many women suffer from q form Of
indigestion or dyspepsia which does not
yield to ordinary treatment While the
symptoms are similar 70 those Of orii-
nary Indigestion, yet the medicines
usually prescribed DO not restore the
patients normal condition.
There seems TO be a kind Of dyspepsia
caused by arrangement of the female
organism. While this appears TO be the
same as ordinary indigestion it can be
relieved only by medicine which, be-
sides acting as q stomach tonic, is good
for female ailments. Read what such

ENJOYED BY WAIlUKUANS

A very pleasant outing was enjoy
ed last Sunday on Lanai by number
of Wailuku persons, the party having
the fortune to see an unusual sight for
waters about these islands, it is said,
while crossing to the little island from
Lahaina.
Nearing Lanai, the party noticed a
lot of big sea birds swooping down
frequently into the water. AS the
launch got nearer, it was seen that the
birds were catching mullet from big
school which was passing and
in the middle of the thousands of fish
there was a monster shark.
Before going to Lanai the party
spent Saturday afternoon and evening
in Lahaina, watching the sailors and
ships of the naval fleet which was
then there.
Those in the party were as follows:
Mr.. and Mrs. A. ]. Fernandez, Mr.. and
Mrs. A. Enos, Mr.. and Mrs A. Garcia,
Mr.. and Mrs. j. Garcia, Miss Dorena
Oschner, Miss M. Rodrigues, j. M.

county show Invitations to the dinner
are to be sent all over the county and
will be issued in few days.
The dinner will not only be "boos

Popular Attorney
Making Maui Visit

James Coke, the Honolulu attorney
who is so well known on Maui on &C
count of his previous long residence
here, is on this island, combining
business and pleasure. He is accom-
panied by Mrs. Coke and they arrived
here last Sunday, going to the Ulu-
palakua ranch the following day,
where they spent several days with
DIR. Raymond.
The attorney expected and did some
bird hunting while on the ranch, but
he refuses to tell whether with any
success or not, until he learns if a
hunting license was issued TO him per
his request made by mail last Monday.
Jokingly, the county officials have
refused to tell him whether the
license was issued, until he informs
them as to the numbers of birds he
shot. At present the controversy is
at deadlock, the attorney maintain
ing up to the present that he was un-
successful on his hunt for birds.
Coke will remain here until some
time next week, taking advantage of
the coming session of the court to
clear up a number of old cases.
The attorney, who is counsel for the
public utilities commission, says it is
doubtful when that body will be able
to end the nter-Island freight rate in
vesugation.

he might have or gain. The writer
states that the wife of Sam Halsey
was much younger than he and that
members of the family in the states
were wondering IL she were still liv-
ing.
The letter continues: 81 cannot tell
you her family name or anything

wife of Sam Halsey." The letter
closes with the request that the en-
closed letter be returned to the writ
er, if Mrs. Halsey cannot be located.

ating Mrs. Halsey, or some of her
relatives, if such can be done. He
asks that if any of the old timers re-

DR.. Raymond Has
Pleasant Surprise

When the official returns were re-
ceived from Kalaupapa, the Molokai
settlement precinct, late last Friday
afternoon, DR.. j. H. Raymond, the
Democratic candidate for election
from this island, was greatly pleased to
learn that he had received many more
votes there than was first reported.
The first report, which was brought
to Maui by sampan the day after the
election, gave him only flfty-eight
votes in the settlement The official
returns showed that he got total of
122 votes. This increased his total
for the whole island to 943 votes,
which was just about the amount 1t
was anticipated he would receive.
The unofficial returns only gave him
$40 votes and lead of only sixty-six
votes over George P. Cooke. The Of
fetal results of the primary election
now shows that he led Cooke by $50
votes.
AS result of the primary vote DR..
Raymond is more confident than ever
that he will be the second choice of
the voters as Maui senator at the
November election.

Honolulu Clubs
Coming To Fair
W. R. Harrington Writes That Organ

Scheme For Representation At
Maui County Show

The Honolulu Ad Club, the Homo
lulu Chamber of Commerce, the Rot
ary Club, Pan-Pacific Club and the
Promotion Committee are working on
a general scheme for representation at
the Maui County Fair, according to
information which comes to Wailuku
from w. r. Harrington, prime mover
in the enterprises of the more import
ant Honolulu organizations. Earring
ton is to be one of the speakers at
the fair and has selected as his topic,
"The Island Press"
News that the commercial and civic
organizations of the island capital
were considering representation at the
county fair was received here with
pleasure and enthusiasm. for If these
bodies decide to take part the attend
ance from Honolulu will be trebled, to
what it ordinarily would, it is thought.
The Honolulu newspaper man writes
that he has just walked up to the fact
that the first day of the Maui County
Fair is to be THANKSGIVING Day. which
means, he adds, that he will have to
come to Wailuku to eat his turkey.
While he intimates that he does not
just see how the fair will be able to
attracta crowd on the Home Holiday"
he makes evident that he does not
doubt Maui's ability to do so.
Harrington states that the interest
of the Honolulu organizations is prim-
arily for the purpose of showing that
Honolulu men are in accord with any
enterprise that is intended to promote
the development of the island COM
munities and increase the spirit of
cooperation among men and institu-

Maui Politicians
Are Frightened
RumOr Starts That Governor Has
Failed To Issue Election PrOcIa-
nation Rapid Exchange OF Wire
lesses Brings Information Fear
UnfOunded

Political circles were stirred to the
depths last Wednesday when the ru-
NOR became general that Governor
l.. e. Pinkham, or Secretary Thayer,
had failed to issue a proclamation for
the general election on November 7th,
forty days before that date, as is re-
quired by law. Many of them thought
that legal election could not be held
if this was true, and all loked gloomily
back on the prediction campaigning
they had made, and incidentally, all
the election expense which they had
been put to so far.
The rumor arose because the cleo
ton officials had not been sent copy
of the proclamation, and because it
had not been posted here, as is Gust
omary. When the supposed over
sight was first discovered, wireless
messages were rushed off to Honolu-
lu. Harry Mossman was among those
who wrote to the Governor regarding
the matter. Late Thursday afternoon
he received a message from the ter
ritorial executive, which set at rest
the worries of the politicians. The
message read:
"Your fears unfounded. Election
proclamation issued September 26 and
published in the New Freedom and
the Aloha Alma September 30th."
Now the politicians do not know
whether the joke is on them or the
two publications, in which no one had
read the proclamation.
The fear and excitement of the
Mani nOlitipianc wac Soma what eya o.
gerated, because they remembered the
difficulty which arose in the spring of
1915, preceding that election. The
supervisors at that time failed to issue
a county election call, and it was
necessary to get the Legislature, which
was in session, to pass special act
to permit of a valid election being
held.

HumOriSt'S Cousin
Now Fishing Fan
Miss Mildred Leo Clemens Wins New
DiStinCtiOn-TO Make Halea-
kala Trip Alone If She Has To

Greatly pleased with having won the
distinction of being the first white
woman or girl to participate in game
fishing in Maalae Bay, off Kehei, Miss
Mildred Leo Clemens of Berkeley,
Cal, cousin of Mark Twain, the writer,
declares she enjoys Maui as much as
the rest of the islands, which she has
been visiting during the last few
weeks.
What pleases Miss Clemens most
is that she was fortunate enough to
hook big fish while out with a party
of sportsmen yesterday. There were
nine persons in the fishing party,
who, besides the local residents, con-
sisted of Newton Foster of Boston,
Mass, A. F. Lokin of Minneapolis,
Mimi, and A. Gearhart of Chicago,
III.
Miss Clemens expects to remain on
Maui until next week, during which
she VIII ascend Haleakala and make
the trip TO Hama by horseback over
the Nahik ditch trail. She is anxious
to meet a party which intends to make
the trip so she may accompany them,
but If not so fortunate she does not
intend to give up the trip
When questioned as to with whom
she expected to so on the junket, she
replied: I do not know yet. But one
thing is certain. l am going to make
that trip-even if have to go alone"
Any listner would have been impress
ed with her evident sincerity, by the
emphasis she placed on the last state
ment.
1t was jokingly intimated that she
should be asked how she liked Maui
'Well you know / went fishing yester-
day and caught a big one" she laugh
ingly answered.
