The morning service at (lie Li
hue 1'nion 1nst Sunday was un
usually well nl tended, ihe congre
gation numbering seventy-six.
Spec ial musical select ions by tlie
choir were greatly appreciated. A
nolo by Mis Fox with ohligato
by Miss Outsell was in the nature
of n pleasing surprise to the con
gregation. Mrs. W. II. Hiee, Jr.,
also beautifully sang.the solo part
of an anthem by the whole choir.
The pastor's sermon was a whole
hearted appeal for the evangeliz
ation of these islands in the pres
ent generation as a memorial to
the heroic aspiration of the mis
sionaries, whose coming to Hawaii
will be celebrated at the centen
nial next April.
On Monday afternoon the

room to consider plans for the im
mediate future. The pastor pre

Homsteaders Apply
for Makee Contract
' - - ! 1 i
The Ililo Tribune says that the
I'apnaloa homesteaders of Ha
waii will apply to C. Brewer &
Company for the same kiutl of
contract as is given by Makee
Sugar Company to the home
steaders of Kapaa, Kauai, the
statement being as follows:
By a series of powers of at tor
ney just executed, homesteaders
at Papaaloa have appointed a new
board of seven trustees, and as
soon as the plantation authorities
are ready to negotiate will open
conferences looking to the replace
ment of present contracts with
others more equitable. They seek
one as favorable as that granted
by the Makee Sugar Company.
The board, of trustees just chosen
consists of K. Simmons, M. Oon-
zalves, Jr., A. W. Wilbur, K. lloo
kano, Elizabeth Ah Pao, Lottie
Johnson and O. II. Vicars.
"Some of the contracts under
which the homesteaders are now
working are already out," said
Mr. Vicars to-day, "others are
about to expire and some have
yet a year or two to run. Upon
these contracts the homesteaders
get .1 per ton of cane for every
cent a pound for sugar. Brewer
plantations are paying .f 1.10 with
a bonus of 4 cents; Makee pays $1
with a '2H cents bonus for every
cent advance above 4 cents."
Mr. Vicars said the attempt
would be made to have all the ex
isting old contracts abrogated and
to put whatever agreement is ar
rived at into force on all home
steads at once, lie says they seek
a new contract for a 10 year per
iod. He does not know when ne
gotiations will begin, as that will
depend largely upon when the
plantation people are willing to
begin conference.

Railroad Construction
In Alaska
Railway construction iu Al
aska, like everything else, every
where the world over, has come
up very much iu cost. The cost
of a system of railways there ag
gregating 001 miles iu length,
was estimated at :." million dol
lars, which amount was approp
riated by Congress, and the work
was undertaken. Now it is esti
mated that an additional IT mil
lion will be required to complete
the work, wages anil material
have gone up to that extent.
The average cost of the com
pleted system will be about $7o,
000 per mile. Which is regard" 1
as a very good showing consider
ing the difficulties encountered.
One bridge that across the
Tanana L'iver will cost over a
million dollars. Alaska is a land
of vast resources. About 00 per
cent of the conn try belongs to
the Ciovcriimcnt, so that it is
very lining that the Ooverninent
should develop the resources of
the same.
We Should Wear
It seems that the human brain
is steadily increasing in size in
these times of great intellectual
activity, while the skull remains
the same; which means that the
cranium, or projecting shell of
bone is getting thinner. If this
tendency continues, in the course
of another couple of hundred
years perhaps we shall have a
race with skulls as thin and
frail as eggshells, so that every
one will have to wear head
guards, like foot-ball players,
to keep them intact.
Investigation shows that in a
great majority of cases a cold is
caught during the night while
one is in bed The reason is
that while the rest of the body is
cosy and warm under the cover
ing, the head is exposed to the
cold draughts that come from the
open window.
The way to prevent this is not
to close the window, but to wear
some suitable protection for the
head. Our forbears with their
night-caps were wiser than we
and we ought to revert to that
well established wisdom, aud
wear night cops just as relig
iously as we wear .lher nliii
clothes.
