Information Wanted.


MIR. EDITOR. Please allow me
space in your valuable paper to bring
before the notice of the public the
following. Perhaps you or some OF
your numerous readers may be able
to throw light on the subject, viz:
Three different pieces of Govern
ment land, all in North Kona' Ha-
wall, have lately been sold or leased
all to one person; without any notice
by advertisement or otherwise nav
ing been given to the public. "A
possible injury may have been done
to one or more of the tax payers ID
Kona as we'll as to any one intending
to benefit by the Homestead ACT;
One lot which is, believe, sold
not leased-on the sand beach or
public steamboat landing at Kallua,
| [ specially mention this piece
as some of the leading natives
claim it did not belong to
the Government; but belongs IN
whole or in part to the land OF
| LdQ1QOuQu1. hOWSN01S was ~ 80
of the Government, even if their title
hold good, to sell to any person a
lot, or what ought to be for the use
of the public at large? 1 certainly
think it was very unfair.
His Excellency the present Min
lister of Interior, did, if [ remember
right, strongly condemn similar
transactions, before he held office
Why not now? I believe the lands
disposed of are part of those very
lands that were leased to His Majesty
the King more than two years ago
which transaction was then con
demned as illegal. A similar trans,
action, although on smaller scale
should be so condemned now. The
principle is the same.
We are on the eve of the general
elections. Although I have neither
weight nor influence I shall try tc
get whoever [ may vote for as repre-
sentative, to have all such transac
tons fully Investigated in the mex
Legislature. Fair play to all ant
favor to none. Let the hammer o.
the auctioneer determine the value
of all Government lands, say I.
I remain, Sir,
An OBSERVER.

THE transfer of the lepers from
Kakaako to the new Kalihi asylum,
which took place on Thursday Of
last week, so quietly that but few
persons knew of the event, puts
an end to the Kakaako disgrace, at
the entrance of the port. 1t was an
unsightly object located where it
would be the first thing to attract
the eyes of the visitor. Now it
stands beyond the town, in a seclu-
ded spot, where no one can see 1t,
unless he goes to it for that purpose.
In its construction, separate place
has been prepared for persons sus-
pected of having the disease. This
has long been needed, and we trust
that the Board of Health will re-
quire suspects to be kept in the
place which has been prepared for
them, and not be allowed to eat,
sleep and mingle with the crowds
which are found in our streets daily.
1t is generally supposed that the
number of lepers at large is now
smaller than it has been for years
But vigilance is still as necessary as
ever to stamp out this deadly virus,
which is communicated chiefly by
infected and non-infected persons
eating, drinking, smoking, and sleep
ing together in the same house and
at the same table.

EVERY now and then question of
land tenures comes up and the old
surveys are appealed to which are
found very unsatisfactory. The fact
is that the original land surveys were
carelessly made by incompetent
men, and that still surveys are made
by such men. For practical working,
f or accurate working, we doubt
whether many surveys made by
students from Lahainaluna soon af
ter they left that institution are
worth very much more than the pa
per that they are put on. And yet,
the ownership of great many small
pieces of land depends upon such
careless surveying as this. The
survey Office is doing all it can with
the limited means at it's disposal to
do good work; but small land owners
will employ such inefficient help in
surveying that they will only have
themselves to thank for coming out
at the wrong end of the horn when
the day of reckoning comes, It only
requires a clever lawyer and smart
surveyor to make a stir among the
dovecotes. The smart surveyor and
the clever lawyer will crop up some
day, and our people should take time
by the forelock and look to what
they own. We know whereof we

Captain Rugg's Defense.

The trial of f. w. Rugg, first mate
of the bark Newsboy, charged with
manslaughter for having shot and
killed Andrew Paulson, sailor of the
vessel, on March 3rd, while on the
high seas, was had in the United
States District Court at San Fran
cisco. The testimony showed that
during an alteration between the
men Paulson knocked the mate
down, and fearing further trouble
the latter went into his cabin and
armed himself. On his temperance
on deck Paulson renewed the quar-
rel, and, fearing further injury. a
Paulson was about to strike him
again, Rngg fired, and Paulson fell

charge.

Nor long ago, some letters ap-
peared in the papers relative to
schools in the Hawaiian language,
and we have been keeping a sharp
eye on the matter and on the action
of the Board of Education. In the
district of Honolulu, with which we
can make ourselves personally &C
quainted, we learn that the Waikiki
kai, the Kamoiliili, and the Manoa
schools have been, at the express
wish of the parents, converted from
Hawaiian into English schools. This
process of choking" the Hawaiian
has, we are credibly informed, re-
suited as far as the district of Homo
lulu is concerned in a rather curious
manner.
According to the biennial report
presented to the Legislature in 1883.
the school at Manoa numbered Is
children, that at Kamoiliili numbered
20, and that at Waikiki-kai "a; q
total of 65. The buildings were at
that time admirably adapted for
teaching, and no new ones have since
been erected in either of these places.
At the urgent request of parents,
however, these schools have been
converted into English schools, with
the following results which we tabu-
late:
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1889-06-26

This shows most conclusively that
when these schools were carried on
in the Hawaiian language there
were very nearly one hundred per
cent. less children attending them
than there are now that they are
converted into English schools. And
this in the face of increased facilities
of travel to reach any kind of school
the parents might wish. One ex-
ample will serve to illustrate for the
whole Islands. The Board of Edu

Very Suitable Position of the Station

Lepers and Suspects.
a representative of the ADVERTISER
visited the new Leper Receiving
Station at Kalihi yesterday, and
made the following notes on what he
observed:
Upon leaving the main Govern
ment road few hundred yards on
the west side, opposite the entrance
to the Kamehameha Preparatory
School, the road to the Leper Station
passes straight over coral plateau,
and between extensive groves of
algeroba trees, which give shade,
shelter and rural beauty to the sur
roundings. This drive is about four
teen feet wide, and the road bed is
firmly constructed of crushed coral
mixed with alluvium. As
THE LOCATION
of the station buildings is ap-
preached, the groves of algeroba
timber become less dense and the
trees more stunted IN growth; until
around the enclosing fence the trade
winds have full play IN their invig
Grating breath of the mountains.
The segregation is perfect, and in
the surrounding solitude there is no
cultivation, and no habitations with
in a radius of about half mile.
The shallow waters of the ocean flow
over the reefs and fats Immediately
makai of
| THE STATION
which is enclosed by a substantially
constructed double fence, and which,
in the lower portions, is of the picket
or paling variety for about four feet
from the ground; and above that
height for about ten feet higher, the
fence is closely boarded. The two
rows of fencing are about six feet
apart, and this stockade completely
surrounds the area, about six acres,
upon which
THE BUILDINGS
are placed. We enter the upper gate
into the division where the pro
nounced lepers are confined, and
find some six or eight of these unfor-
Inmates we'll housed and made as
comfortable as the conditions of con-
finement upon three acres of ground
will allow. The cottages, in this
division of the station, are painted
very neatly and the whole surround
ings are kept remarkably clean.
There is every domestic convenience
and comfort, and the confines have
access to commodious baths and
other necessaries of domestic life
There are now in this division, five
four-room cottages, dining room
kitchen, ETC.; and most of these
buildings were foated to this station
from Kakaako, the old station. There
} did not seem to be any discomfort
among the lepers, and they fine
enough employment in improving
the grounds to keep down enui.
Leaving this division we pass
through to the Enclosure intended fol
, suspected lepers, which is fully the
same size, about three acres-making
six acres in all. This division has a
separate entrance gate, and high
and substantial fence divides the two
sections.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1889-06-26
THE CULINARY DEPARTMENT

is here and also the dispensary, and
there are openings through which
the cooked food and the medicines
are handed. There are also several
cottages in the suspect" division,
where the cook and other non-lepers
reside. The kitchen range is large
enough to cook sufficient food for
more than 100 lepers at one time;
but it is unlikely that more than
half the capacity of this range will
ever be needed, owing to a decrease
in the disease and the frequency of
draughts to Molokai. There are
also lower gates that open from the
grounds toward the sea; but these,
as well as all gates, are kept securely
locked, and escape is almost impos-
sible from defects of arrangement.
This institution is visited once
every day by the medical superin-
tendent, whose able management is
apparent in the superior arrange
ments within, and also without, the
enclosure. We understand that the
division Of the station where the
culinary department, examination
room, and dispensary are kept, is in
tended also to contain

SUSPECTS


in whom the disease is uncertain. IF
this plan should be followed, the
suspects can run no risk of contain
nation from the lepers in whom the
disease has assumed a pronounced
form; and, if it be afterwards ascer-
tanned that any suspect does not
have leprosy, he can be returned to
his home.
OF course, all expenses of Iepers
and suspects are paid by the Gov
eminent; and it is in contemplation
to have an omnibus connected with
the institution, for the conveyance
OF lepers from and to the Kalihi sta
ton, instead of hiring public con-
veyances as at present.
THE WATER
to the station Is conveyed in pipes
from an artesian we'll about half a
mile distant, and no contamination
from this source is possible The
pressure is not strong, but there is
sufficient for all domestic purposes
of the establishment, and there is no
branch of the piping that leads away
from the station-the water ends
there.
CONCLUDING REMARKS.
The site, the location, and the sur
roundings are exceedingly favorable
to the purposes for which this re-
ceiving station is intended, and it
will not be long before the railway
to Pearl Harbor will pass a short
distance from the enclosure. It is
also worthy of mention that the old
buildings from Kakaako are still in
tact and the floating them to their
present site was success In every
respect. They now form part of the
present array of buildings, and look
now as if they were new.
