ranch. The holder OF a schosI land lease
may transfer it at viii and on such terms
as he can get. the territory being indif-
feTent. since it has already its three
years lease money, secured in advance,
when the lease is made. Yates transfer
red his lease right to one quarter OF the
school section in question. to the Noun
tain View Townsite company, which was
thus put In position to deal direct with
the school land board. The law of con-
gress authorizes the board in terms al
lowing great latitude, to manage the
school land interests. The board entered
into a contract with the townsite com
pany, agreeing TO a method by which the
lots could be transferred to lessees who
in future would lease the lots from the
territory. This agreement also included
provision for the classification and ap-
praisement Of the lots. A board of three
appraisers was chosen, In the usual way.
It IS this board which has just fled its
report, and Secretary Filson has gone
down to check up the list.
The present leases win expire January

paid by lot owners for Yates unexpired
term Of three years was IN amount ac-
cording to the special contract with the
townsite company. The appraisal just
completed IS that under which leases VIII
be granted for the three years beginning

JUDGE GALBRATH HOME
Re Gives some Impression on Hawaii
and HaWaiiaua


Guthrie, o. T.. Nov. SO.-Ex-Attorney
General C. A Gnbraith. who served in
! Oklahoma under Cleveland's second ad-
ministration, and is now an associate
justice of the supreme court of Hawaii.
was in Guthrie a few hours today, de-
parting at noon for Texas points, where
he will spend few days. He viii sail
for Honolulu on December u.
Judge Gilbraith in the course Of a
friendly chat related many interesting
details Of Hawaiian life and customs and
some entertaining personal impressions
Of those Islands Of the sea. Speaking of
political conditions there, calling them
selves Independents. and, constituted of
the adherents to the ancient royal re-
gime-natives, in short-although sue
cessful IN the recent election in winning
out with a royalist for delegate, over
over Prince David, Democrat. and the
Republican candidate, would gradually
be merged in the two old parties" as
there is no dissatisfaction whatever with
the present order Of things. the adhe-
sion Of the old monarchial element being
due TO a little racial feeling and some
what to a prejudice against the Repub-
Hcan party as being that to which Pres
ident Dole head Of the pro-Caucasion
revolution Of 1892, belonged. He says the
natives take kindly to politics, though it
is a sort Of playing at politics as yet
since they utterly lack precedent or
training In the American sense Of the
terms For instance. the judge tells Of
one native who in explaining why he
"a
father on his death bed made him prom
ise to be always a Republican.
Judge Gillbraith said the conditions in
Hawaii shed little if any light on the
Philippine question, the conditions. es-
pecially in relation to the past histories
Of the two people, being so different.
The Kanaka he considers eminently a
religious person. though his ideas are
very widely different regarding certain
details Of personal conduct from the piri-
tanieal standard. The native IS not much
of a drunkard, contenting himself with
"square-face'' and "sandpaper" gin.
The Judge hopes much from the Haw-
aiians tendency to engage in politics, es-
pecialy as the native disposition is not
Of such passionate revolutionary sort as
would lead him to carry the positive to
excess.
One curious social phase noted BY the
Judge was that intermarTage Of Kama
kas and Chinese produces a type char
acterized by the finer and more ex-
pressive features, together with the good
humor, Of the former. and at the same
time industry and thrift Of the latter,
