JARED SMITH ON
LAND FOR FARMERS

Jared G. Smith, director of the L. S.
Experiment Station, is getting lots of
letters from mainland farmers who
want to know about the agricultural
opportunities of the group. AS no lands
are open for immediate settlement, Mr..
Smith merely invites his correspondents
to come here and look around.
1T seems to me-" said Mr.. Smith yes
terday, that the way to get settlers
is to mark out good tracts of public
land and advertise them for entry six
months ahead. Information about them
should be spread everywhere through
transportation lines, correspondence
and other agencies. When the time
comes to dispose of the lands people
will be here to take them up That
has been the case all over the West
and should be the case here where the
climate is so attractive and the demand
for farm products so great.
1t would be better to open I'D GER
tain districts where conditions are most
favorable: not offer the land indis-
criminately. Care ought to be taken
not to offer tracts in excessively rainy
districts except for banana culture or
taro. Kona is all right, so is Kau and
Hamakua. Maui has large tracts.
There are some on Oahu. A good seIec-
ton can easily be made. / doubt the
advisability, however, of leaving the en-
tire matter in the hands of one man.
Nor does it seem wise to set up two
classes of citizens here, the white man
with full privileges and the kanaka
with the restriction that he shall not
sell his holdings. If he won't improve
his land the sooner he sells it to some
body who will make it productive the
better for the country
Let me emphasize the matter of
publicity. Lands for sale should be
made known here and on the mainland.

GOVERNOR DOLE TALKS ABOUT
GETTING MAINLAND FARMERS
Sees Some Difficulties in the Way of Introducing
the American System But Agrees That the
Ter of the Soil Is Needed.

] hala- Hilo Railway; they bring their
| families, and when they get through
working will want to settle down They
are in a position TO know just what il
costs to live, the markets, and con-
ditiops, and they are probably willing
TO take up land.
THE uncertainty is the principal OBJ
stacle TO bringing settlers here. Ameri-
cans are enterpriSing, they want some
thing definite; the prospect OF living by
the sale of their products. For in
stance we might locate 500 families on
Kauai, and they can raise all they eat,
but 1 dom: see how they could sell it
on the ccher islands.
'''1he development of markets is nat
urally slow. A colony of white men
here would make a market for a lot
of things. The merchants now import
all their goods from the United States.
Butter eggs, and vegeta bles are shipped
in. The merchants prefer to import
them, so they nave have something to
depend upon. 1t will be a matter of
gradual progress TO substitute the Ha-
waiian product for that of the United
States. The grocers don't encourage
it, they like to do business where they
are accustomed to trade.
THE sugar plantation employing Jap
dHcSc anu NHlneSS OOeSH make a
market for the American farmer. They
would eat up his pigs and probably his
ducks, but they wouldn't buy his but
ter, cream and eggs. though they might
his potatoes. One thing you see, dove
tails into another. Progress in that
work must be gradual. 1t is extremely
important to have a colony of a hun
dred farmers on any island. 1t would
be a great benefit, and at once make
a market for the storekeeper and gro
Ger, and for clothes, tools, etc. A colony
of one thousand farmers would be of
immense public value.
There is of course a steady demand
for lands from the local population.
The limited resources of the govern
ment, and the fact that much land is
under lease, makes the process of sur
veying and opening lands slow and the
local demand is about equal to the TAX
ing of them, though not entirely"

FERRIS APPEALS
TO SUPREME COURT

George E. Ferris, sentenced to be
hanged for murder in the first degree,
yesterday filed a bill of exceptions to
the Supreme Court. Judge Gear, who
heard the case, is at present in San
Francisco, and consequently the excep-
lions have not been allowed as yet
The exceptions refer only to errors
in excluding and admitting evidence.
Exception is taken also to the failure
to give the defendant the right to
challenge the grand jury, and there are
a number of allegations as to errors in
rulings made by Judge Gear. A tran
script of the evidence is filed with The
exceptions. This will have the effect
of postpOning the hanging until the
case is disposed of by the Supreme
Court
Another extension has been granted
to Kimura. who is also under sentence
of death for murder.

"I am just up from a hard spell of the flux". (dysentery), says Mir. T. A. Primer, a well-known mer chant of Drummond, Tenn. "I used one small bottle of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rem edy and was cured without having a doctor. I consider it the best cholera medicine in the world." There is no need of employing a doctor when this remedy is used, for no doctor can prescribe a better medicine for bowel complaint in any form, either for children or adults.

Senator Obaldia yesterday took over
the functions Of governor of Panama.
The event was the occasion for great
popular demonstrations by all parties.
1t is thought that the appointment Of
Gov. Obaldia may perhaps exert influence
against secessionist ideas, not only BE-
cause he is a native of Panama, which
fact engages for him the sympathies OF
all, but because his app inim mt, app r.
