A MICROBE FARM.
Foul Garbage Dumped by
the Prison.
Refuse from Honolulu Deposited on
a Public Road Where 1t viii
Breed Disease.

There is large piece of ground just
beyond the Oahu jail in Iwilei where
the garbage of the city has been
dumped for the past two months.
There is house on the premises but it
is, of course, unoccupied. People who live
in Iwilei are compelled to pass directly
by this foul-smelling garbage deposit
yard, where it abuts upon the Iwilei
roadway.
This garbage comes from Chinatown
and the more respectable portions as
well, and consists of rags, cabbage.
watermelon rinds and all kinds of
kitchen swill. All day long big loads
of it are deposited in this yard, which
formerly contained stagnant water. The
premises have been filled up so that
the garbage occupies a space Is feet
long, so feet wide and Az feet in depth.
Last night when the premises were
visited two loads of freshly dumped
garbage, wet and fOul-smelling, were
found which had not yet been levelled
out. Every day groups of women and
children come out to thFs dump and
pick out the bottles, the metal and the
rags, carrying their filthy prizes back
to town in gunny sacks, which were
found last night-more than two score
of them-just inside the gateway.
The foul doors arising from the
heaps were sickening, and those who
are compelled to pass by the city's
dumping grounds, are loud in their
complaints against it's continuance.
Not only is the garbage in itself often
sive to the eye ana smell, but it will,
or has in all likelihood already bred
disease. Besides, much of it Will be
carried back into town by those who
make a living by picking over its fl
thy contents. 1t is certainly crying
evil, and the Health Department should
take steps to prevent the further
dumping of garbage on what Is cer
tainly proving microbe farm..

Indians Vigorously Opposed to the
Division o. Their Lands


Especial Chetocah II. T.) Letter.
The troubles over the allotment Of
lands to Indians seems to be increas-
ing. The full-blooded Indians do not
wish the land divided. but prefer that
the title remain in the tribes. The
recent law allots. to each member
Ct family 100 acres. AS many of
the Indians have large families, they
will get goodtsized farms. On an aver
age, the Indian cultivates only 40 or
80 acres. Under the tribal laws he can
locate as much as he wishes. Then he
leases it to white men. A few jumpers
fence tract OF several thousand acres
and lease it to white man for a cat
tie ranch. The Indians live in idleness
on the revenues. They naturally OPP
pose the allotment, and so do the Amer
lean holders of leases to these large
tracts. Another element, the full
b1ooded Indians, are also in opposition,
because they read their fate in thus
placing the lands within the reach of
the pale face. The law also provides
that the present leases shall be reduced
to 16O acres per capita, under penalty
OF not less than 500 day. Strangely,
the law makes no provision for a sur
vey, and if the work is done by the
lessees they will make liberal allow
ances for themselves. There will be
many prosecutions, instigated in many
instances by those who want the land,
and this may lead to the usual war and
vendetta. The lessees will send dele
CATION to congress this winter in their
own interests, and the full-bloods, who
are opposed to the allotment, will also
send "a delegation to have a 'big talk
with the white chiefs who make the
bad laws against the Indian"
AS these lands are perhaps the most
valuable, they will be much sought
after when the allotment is made. A
pale face cattle rancher, who holds

10000 acres under the blanket lease of
a few Indians who have jumped the
land, will be dispossessed of all except
the quantity the Indians are entitled
to under the allotment, which may be
one-half or one-fourth, according to
the number in each. family. For ex-
ample, one rich Indian in the Creek ma
ton has jumped about 5000 acres, and
as he has a family of only four per-
sons, he will lose nearly all of his land.
The United States attorneys have or
dered the marshals to cut down the
wire fences of these illegal holdings,
and this may precipitate the trouble.
The Indian is now prohibited from To-
eating more than, 100 acres for each
of his family, and this wholesale land
grabbing will doubtless be checked.
White men are behind the Indian
jumpers. The aim is to give to each
Indian home where he must reside
permanently. Under the tribal laws
he moved to any unoccupied land when
he wished. It belonged to the nation;
and he was one of the tribe. He paid
neither rent nor taxes, and was happy.
A disaffected element, under Musk
raft, Whirlwind and Grills, will soon
emigrate to Mexico.
The "townsite" matter is another
impending trouble. When the pale
faces swarmed into the territory, they

lacked moral counterpoise. He and his
associates procured number of uncut

in a few months nearly 100000 *vcrth

before the exact character of the swim
die was developed, and by that time
the affairs of the country were so con-
fused that nobody cared to undertake
prosecution. 1 saw the professor as
he was called, at Ogden, Utah, in 1884,
and he described the whole affair with
great glee. Afterward hewas mixed up
in two other shady enterprises. One
was scheme for aging whisky and the
other was a device for refining sugar

Harlan H. Smith, who represents the

Harrison Bay district, where he made
the strangest find of ala well-pre-

over 1000 years old.
He came across "a stone bearing a

take him long to ascertain that this was

The cave had been cut out of rock,
The body which he found within was
preserved in just the same manner as
an Egyptian mummy. Prof. Smith said:
"The preparation of the body was the
work of experts. A slight lifting of the
woven wrappers caused the emanation
of the penetrating smell that is always
noticeable when Egyptian wrapmngs
are first removed. The face and hands
were black and hard and dry
