Are the Olaa people doing any

Are the Olaa people doing any
thing?"
Not yet, but we expect numer-
us applications from those who
have leases and who want to ac-
quire the land in fee simple. No,
there are no Portuguese in Olaa
district who have applied for hold
ings. In that district they are
nearly all white persons holding
leases. 1t is early yet, and in the
course of time there is no question
but what other nationalities will
apply for land.
Maui is comparatively in the
same position as Kauai-there is
little available land. Applications
are being made by parties in the
Kaupo district for coffee lands, also
in Keanai. Coffee is a new indus
try there and the parties want to
try it."
"What do the Commissioners
propose doing with persons who
have old leaseholds on land which
should come under the land law?"
'The Commissioners propose to
follow a conservative course. AS
the leases expire the character of
the land will be investigated and,
if it is found the land belongs
to that class which should be
available under the Land Act the
leases will not be renewed. We
have already refused to renew the
leases of certain applicants. The
Government will hold the land
until it can be disposed of under
the law"
"WhO will look after the survey
ing of these new Government lands
on Hawaii, Maui and Kauai?"
THAT has not yet been deter
mined. Mr.. Loebenstein will be-
gin surveying lands in Puma this
week. Surveyors in other local
tiles will be selected and sent out
on piece work. There will be no
regular appointments made. [ am

War Threatened.

LONDON, Oct. 31.-News has been
received from the gold coast that the
Ashantees have rejected the British

against them.

uItimatum expired yesterday. The
king, it is reported, is prepared for

Damaged by Water.

The rain of yesterday afternoon
caused some damage to the dry
goods in T. H. Davies & Co.'S store
room. The torrents of water that
poured down in such a short time
gave too much work for the gutter.
4 leak was the result. The water
poured down on articles Of dry
goods in the vicinity. 1t was not
found out until the rain ceased
Then there was a lively scamper-
ing Of clerks to remove other goods
in order to assure their safety from
destruction by water.

SERVICE AT KAWAIAHAO
A New Era of Successful Work
to Begin.

KawaiahaO church renewed
will be occupied for the first time
Sundey morning. Rev. III. II.
Parker will preach at the usual
hour. 1t is expected that Revs.
Stephen Desha and Kapu OF
Hawaii will be here on the Kinau
to-day to take part in the opening
exercises. \ full choir has been
organized. Professor Berger
will preside at the organ. Tn
dOubtedIy the old historical
church will be filled to its utmost
capacity. There is a surprise in
store for many who have never
visited the church since the recon
StructiOn of the interior. The
finishing touches have been put on
during the last fortnight. The
new interior bears no resemblance
to the old. 1t is modern in every
sense of the word; every part of it
does the eye good to gaze upon.
1t is the pride of those who have
IabOred with such tireless energy
for KawaiahO. One of the best
features is found in the electric
lighting apparatus. The chande-
liers are admirably arranged and
light up every part of the church
to good advantage. Everything
is in shape for the opening Sunday
morning.

HE Is A FOOL.

A cuckoo goldbug yesterday objected
10 the Eagles criticisms Of Wall street,
remarking that as the people OF New
York owned their money they therefore
had right TO do with it as they
pleased. Any effort TO improve on
such ignorance would prove n hopeless
task. Any explanation of the system
whereby Wall street is enabled to con-
troll the volume Of money of the entire
country, including the SURPRISES of the
national treasury and to direct fnan-
cial legislation would be lost on such
n one. But he ought to be able 10
understand the fact that there is not
Il community large or small. CITY or
town, little or big. that does not keep
a deposit in New York. Every bank
from the Atlantic TO the Pacific must
under our present system be prepared
To draw on New York at n moments
notice. Everyone of them do il every
day. These banks can't draw against
nothing. They must have a credit
with their New York correspondent.
which credit is cash money. New
York does not do business on its can
ltal Its business so immense as To
be almost unreasonable is done on
capital and credit furnished bv the
banks Of New York. which capital and
credit is largely the money of all the
people of all the states in the Union.
The money Of Wall street controls
everything. even to the price of the
loaf You eat or the clothes You wear.
For instance the market reports OF yes
terGay announced that the price OF
wheat declined because of the an
nouncement on Wall street Of another
sold shipment The supply of and de-
mand for wheat had nothing to do with
the decline in its price day before yes
terday. IL Was simply Il matter of
money. of single standard gold. which
was going To be shipped.

it. Only that craftsmanship is sound

Japanese Idea OF Grant,

"A japanese story of the life of General
Erant has been unearthed in Japan and
literally translated for the Century Mag
azine. There are nine volumes of twenty
pages each, opening with d description and
picture of the discovery of America bv
Americas" In dealing with the early
lie OF Grant. the following incidents are
related:
From the time Of his birth he was diff
1erent from an ordinary baby. His body
was large. He weighed l kwan, 2a2 me-
AS ne grew, his thought became deeper
accordingly. 1t was seen by the eye of
every man. He showed 10 color of fear.
however great the sound that came into
his ear. When he was not fully two years
old his father, Jesshi Rumito Gurando,
happened TO carry him outside of his
house, and some bad young men in the
neighborhood, looking back at Gurando
kuen, said, I'VE hear that this baby, as
people say, has brave heart, and never
fears anything: We will try whether this
Is true or false" And they went away
and got pistol, and gave it to the hand
OF Gurando Kuen. and pulled the trigger.
Then out came bullet like a thunder
storm. The baby was not afraid OF it.
and never changed the color OF his face;
but pointing to the pistol. asked another
shot. The father, as well as the bad
boys. was astonished. and there was 10
one who did not roll his tongue.
y year and a half later a circus rider
entered his village. Desiring 10 see the
show, Guarando Kuen. OF his fathers
arm, entered the place. Pointing TO the
horse, he insisted on riding il himself.
His father consequently asked the cicrus-
rider to let his boy ride Gursndo kuen,
showing in his face perfect satisfaction.
rode on the neck of the horse. and appear
ed as If he was persuading the horse to
so on. One day, when he was older, he
was playing ball by his own house, and
he accidently broke glass window of his
neighbor. Having regretted what he had
done, he made UP his mind. and went
into the neighbours house, and excused
himself TO the lord of the house. saying
Il accidentally broke the window OF thy
honorable house. 1 have no word TO eX-
cuse myself. The only thing 1 can do is
10 my father tell, and a new glass buy,
this loss to repay. Please excuse" This
house lord, having been much pleased
with the chilG's unusual thoughtfulneSs,
without any condition excused his sin.

grandsors of Samuel Woodwork. have
for some months considered the advisa-
bility OF cremating the remains in the
vault at Laurel Hill. Before a final de-
cesion is reached others OF their kin Will
be consulted. Whatever disposition may
be made of the ancestral remains. II is
sure that the dust or ashes of the man
who wrote The Old Oaken Bucket will
be preserved and a monrmen; erected in
his memory.
Leading men and women OF the temper
ance societies have discussed this propo-
sitiOn, and the indications are that a
fresh impulse viii soon be given TO the
monument-build:ug enterprise. Few peo-
pie outside OF San Francisco. and not very
many jewellers in this town. know that
Samuel Woodworch's remains were
brought here in 1850 ard placed in the
Woodwork family vault
The Old Oaken Bucket' was written in
the summer of 1917. The family remin-
iscence concerning its pToduction.is thus
told in George p. Morriss's Introduction
TO Mr.. oWodworth's poems:
The family was living at the time on
Duane street. New York. The poet came
home to dinner one very warm day, hav-
ing walked from his Office, near the foot
of Wall street Being much heated with
the exercise he drank glass of water
New York pump water-exclaiming as he
replaced the water on the table. That is
very refreshing. but how much more re-
freshing would IL be TO take a good long
draught this warm day from the old oaken
bucket 1 left hanging in my fathers well
at home
Hearing this. the poets wife, who was
always suggestive body. said: Samuel
why wouldn't that be a pretty subject
for
under the inspiration of the moment sat
down and poured out from the depths OF
his heart those beautiful lines which have
immortal.zed the name OF Woodwork.
Samuel Woodwork also wrote a dra-
matte poem entitled THE Forest Rose"
which attained fairly good place on the
sta sc, and held il for several years.
The Woodwork grandchildren now hv-
ing are Selir, e, Frederick A. and Ben
jamiD Woodwork in San Francisco. and
Nellie Woodwork and sister in Cam
bridge, Mass--San Francisco Chronicle.
