WOODMAN HALL OPENING.
Glenila Township Has Fine Public Hall
Built by Local Woodmen.

From the Hannah Moon:-
The social feature of the season was
the grand opening of the Woodman
hall situated just south of O'Nears
store. The hall is building 2Sx4S it.
It will be finished throughout with
Washington fir. The stage is large
enough to accommodate an ordinary
| troupe. To the rear of the hall is a
stable 26x6O feet. built in good sub
stantial manner. The opening exercises,
consisted of musical and literary pro-
gram, which is given below, followed by
a social hop. Such great undertaking
appeared to number of our towpsmen
as impracticable and unadvisable. but
since it has been accomplished by the
undaunted Woodmen. supported by
every one in the neighborhood, it has
proved success beyond doubt. The
hall was crowded to the doors by
pleased and appreciative audience.
Those taking part in the program filed
every expectation without an exception.
/ l.
boxes amounted to about $3.50. That
with the sale of shares amounts to more
than one half the total cost of the build
ing.

STREET TITLES
IN TERRITORY
National Government Has no In
terest in Such Public
Property.

| Assistant Attorney General of the
United States Willis van Devanter, in
an opinion to the Secretary of the In
terror, dated February z, 1902, on a
question propounded to the latter by
| Governor Dole, as to whether, in
cases of exchange of lands authorized
| by the laws of Hawaii, private parties
should convey the lands to the United
States or the Territory of Hawaii
says:
Whether exchanges of public land
are authorized by the Hawaiian laws
where the lands acquitted in exchange
are for other than public uses-as for
instance, to be part of the public do
main and subject to disposal as such,
L have not fully inquired. but if so,
the conveyance should not be made to
the Territory OF Hawa!i, but to the
United States, which is holder of the
public lands as sovereign, though
pledged to apply them solely to the
use and benefit of the inhabitants of
the Hawaiian Islands,"
Governor Dole's letter contained the
statement that such conveyances of
private property, which have for the
most part been for street and road
widening, have been made to the Ter
ritory. The Governor was not certain
that he had taken the correct course,
and he desired an opinion from the In
terror Department The opinion goes
on to say that the Governors question
necessarily suggests the antecedent
one of authority to make exchange of
lands. The title of all public property
of the Republic of Hawaii of every kind
is vested in the United States and that
the public lands in Hawaii became sub
ject to the sole disposal of Congress,
under the pledge respecting the use of
the revenue from the proceeds of the
same. He says:
IF the land is for streets and road |
widening and extension named by the |
Governor, title should be taken to the |
Territory. The United States has no
interest in public property of that kind |
acquired after cession, except the |
sovereign right of supervision of the |
LEGAL government in the regulation of
its use and it's disposal of it. Public |
property of that kind belongs to the
local government and in acquisition of |
it, title should be taken to the Terri |
tory of Hawaii"
The Governors question was prompt |
ed by the negotiations for the acquisi-
ton of a strip from the Haalelea Lawn,
Hotel street.

an artist, painted his portrait upon a

THE DANGER AND ITS REMEDY.

The Chamber of Commerce is about
to consider the resolutions of the Her-
chants Association asking for Federal
fashion Of Havana, and removing
from the pathway of Pacific commerce
the menace of the plague.
We trust that it viii indorse the
resolutions with promptness and
unanirnity.
SO far as this paper can find out, the
majority of our citizens approve of this
plan. They see no reason why. if the
Federal power has been used to stamp
out yellow fever in Jacksonville. Fla.
New Orleans, La. Havana and San
tiago, Cuba, 1t should not be used to
eradicate the bubonic plague here,
sporadic cases of which have been APP
pearing for some months past. The
handle, for lack of funds. When the
plague was here two years ago. it cost
US the s., 900 surplus in the treas |
ury and a debt of 81, 100000 more. In |
stead of having a surplus we are now
facing deficit and the native Legis-
Iature. IL called into extra session,
would only appropriate for sanitary
purposes with the proviso that it's own
henchmen should have the control of
the funds. To agree to this would be
the same as throwing the money away.
The safety of Honolulu and of the
commerce that meets at these cross
roads of the Pacific. can only be Sc
sured by Federal power.
But one objection has come to us re-
garding the proposed action of the
Chamber of Commerce, namely, that
the declaration asked for would stop
the inflow of tourists. But that Gin
How" IL a mere figure of speech.
