The life of this great Hawaiian
chief reads like fiction. Many have
sought to find the last remains of
the chief who, in a series Of wars,
brought all the islands Of Hawaii
under his rule. Report has it that
they were hidden in a dark, lone
some cave on the wild Kona coast-a
cave whose only entrance was from
beneath the sea. 1t is also said that
to the descendants of Honolulu, the
chief who buried the bones Of X anne

died. A temple was proposed in
honor of the gods in order to ward
off death. Kamehameha agreed,
and "helau' was prepared to the
god Kukailimoku, the fighters chief

peculiar species of bird having a
single feather under each wing.
When consulted this god had habit
of answering by ruffling his feathers.

The first Offering of Irish bonds

B seldom considered now as
~ medium of exchange, be-
cause there is so little gold
to guarantee payment. Russian
money is now mostly regarded as
nicely engraved paper. Yet there
are people who have liking for
the ruble. Indeed, a good many
even have faith in it's future value.
When the old monarchy was over
thrown and stability of government
became an uncertainty, the Russian
people became even more attached
to the old-time currency and began
to hoard it the same as they did with
gold and silver earlier in the war.
Even while the Gar was vet in
lower, early in the war, paper notes
and stamps were printed to substi-
tute silver and copper coins. The
piece of paper money in the centre
of the layout on this page shows a
substitute for the fifty kopeck sill

left are substitutes for one and
three kopeck copper pieces.
Coins have become curiosity in
Russia. But SO are the stamps little

RAILWAY WITNESSES
TELL OF LOW VALUES
FOR LANDS ON SLOPE

A number of railway witnesses
were examined at the tax hearing
commenced before a federal examiner
at the state house yesterday. Two
from Mclean and one witness from
Logan testified as to the value Of
farm lands in their respective coun-
ties, which they held to be SIS an
acre in .1917, with a ten percent in
crease for 1918 and another ten per
cent for 1919. They admitted under
cross examination by Assistant At
torney General E. B. Cox that these
values might not be representative,
inasmuch as their particular regions
had suffered four successive partial
crop failures The hearings will be
continued today. There is involved in
the action some $2,OO0,0O0 in taxes for
1917 and 1918, whose payment rail-
ways operating in North Dakota resist
on the ground that their assessment,
as compared with that of other prop
erty, is about third too high.

The hopper poison is composed Sssof

gren stuff for an area of twenty feet
or more to feast upon this compost
tion, one meal of which is guaranteed

Mr.. Puderbaugh has inspected a
number of fields in Burleigh county
where the hoppers have been found in
great numbers In some sections the
pests are said to have moved q swath
entirely across a field. leaving. not a

The damage appears to be confined to
sections, but Mr.. Puderbaugh advises
that q third of the state is now in the

as Griggs and north to McHenry

CLEMENCEAU IS
FIRMLY AGAINST

French Premier Insists That
Peace Treaty Stand in
All Vital Clauses
(By Associated Press. }

There is reason to believe, accord
ing to Paris advices, that the council
of four will reach decision by Thurs
day as to the reply that will be made
to the German counter proposals to
the terms of peace. Allied experts are
work on the reply and meetings are
being held in Paris today for the draft
ting Of memoranda to be submitted to
the council of four, It is probable that
this work is well under way. ,.trrasc
Premier Clemenceau is understood
to maintain firmly that there can be
no important changes in the clauses
of the treaty to Will ich the Germans
have entered their strongest objec-
tions. There are indications however
of a strong undercurrent of sentiment
to meet the German offer of a defi-
mite sum of 100000, 100000 marks as
the indemnity instead of the indeterm-
mate sum that might be demanded un-
der the terms as presented. 1t also
seems possible that the clauses of the
pact relating to SILICA may be modi-
fled so that Germany will be able to
receive supplies Of grain, coal and 9th
er commodities in spite of the trans.
fer to Poland Of sovereignty Of that
region.
That the Germans have not said
their last word in objecting to phases
Of the treaty is indicated by a mem.
orandum which has been drafted at
Versailles by German experts who
seek to refute allied charges as to the
guilt of Germany for the war This
memorandum it is said will be pre-.
sented as reply to the report made
by the inter-allied committee on re-
sponsibility for the conflict.
