PAU WITH LAND COURT.

So our strenuous Governor has
called the attention of Treasurer Ke-
poikai to the fact that the Court Of
Land Registration, under whose de-
partment the appropriations for sal
aries and expenses were placed by the
last Legislature, has spent over $4,000
and turned in as receipts little over
$50, and for the need of retrenchment
in that direction. We heartily agree
with the Governor that there is urgent
need for retrenchment, not only in that
new tangled court, but in many other
departments and bureaus of the Gov
ernment and it is not too late for him
to begin the initiative by recommends
ing reduction in the clerical staff all
around.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1903-12-16

proposition, as suggested by the Gov
ernor to the Treasurer, we think that
retrenchment is urgent and lmmed-
lately necessary, and the Governor
had better begin at once We do not
think that the remedy lays with the
Treasurer but it is up to the Cover
nor himself. The appropriations were
only placed under the Treasury with
no control whatever over their expend-
iture by it's head. Let the Executive
recall the appointment Of the Judge,
ami he in turn those under him. and
then the job will be done without any
further weaving. That's where the
whole trouble lays, with the appointing
power. Although the present Cover
nor was not responsible for the ap.
pointing, yet he was as much being
the then Secretary of the Territory.
We think the matter is a small one,
and when it is done, all will be over
for the present, that is, for the time
being, anyway. Why not attempt it,
Governor, and thereby show some sin
cerity of purpose instead of harassing
one not of your Official family"

in the meanwhile is the bare possibility
OF Japan committing some act that
would force Russia to invade her ter
ritory, but that is too remote to lose
sleep over. Sizing the whole thing up,
1t seems not improbable that Admiral
Evans and his fleet will be here several
months, The fact that officers of the
feet are bringing their families from
the Orient to Honolulu would seem to
support that idea.

Mr.. Stewart, in his letter published
elsewhere, shows that he is laboring
under a false impression in regard to
our opinion of the legal position of the
recently elected Supervisors. We
dc not admit that they have
any legal right to fix the bonds Of any
county official, but, on the contrary,
deny that they have any such author
ity, In the Maui case, to which we re-
ferred the supervisors have gone
ahead and actually fixed the bonds of
the assessor and treasurer, and they
have fixed them at more than twice the
amount indicated in and prescribed by
Section 61 of the County Act This
action by the Supervisors of Maui we
deem to be illegal for they have no
right to prescribe bonds at this time;
but merely admitting for the sake of
argument that they had the right to
fix the amount of bonds, we maintained
yesterday and still maintain that their
action was not consistent with Section
G1 Of the law.

At present, the time does not war

Now and again Governor Carter, like
President Roosevelt, does something
real sensible. 1t may be accident, or

Kinley took the property at time
when war was on, and it was not def

Department would require here But
conditions have changed. The War
Department has absolutely no use for
the property, while the National Guard
has. In going to see General Mac
Arthur with proposition to get the
premises back again, Governor Carter
did the correct thing. General Mac
Arthur will submit the matter to the
War Department, it will then go to
the President and the property will be

CHERRY CREEK DISTRICT
Deals in Process on the Iowa, Cactus
 aud Other Groups

Several promising mines in the Cher ry Creek district of Yavapai county are referred to as follows by the Pres colt Journal Miner:
 L. N. Wombacher, while not as old resident as some others. is one of the firmest believers in the future great neSs of that section. He came to this county from Cripple creek some two years ago and has been very active in
 interesting capital to take hold of prop critics in Cherry Creek district ever since he became a resident of the place. He was the superintendent for the Monarch Mining company for short time while that company was working the Mocking Bird mine This property he says he firmly believes is a good one if worked in the right manner, but this was not done before, and under the management it had in the east the superintendent could not work it as he thought best, but had to do as he was instructed whether it was the right thing or not. There is over 2500 feet of underground work done on the proper tv. but the deepest shaft is only 300 feet on the incline. The ore is free milling gold and will run about S1OO to the ton. There is some talk of this property soon starting up again. An other property on which MT. Wom- bacher is now bending all his energies is the Iowa group. A company of New York and Boston capitalists have been interested in this group and have talk en an option on the same for thirty days, the option to expire on May 10. From telegrams which were received by MT. Wombacher within the past three days it is practically assured that the company will take the prop erty. The purchase price is a very handsome one and if the deal is con- summated it will mean much for this section as 9 good force of men will be put to work at once to develop the mines. The property is located about two miles from Cherry station with a splendid road leading to it. There is plenty of water for a mill site. A tun- rcl has been run into the mountain 325 feet and a shaft sunk to a depth of 125 feet. A good ere body has been opened

Manifest ly, a periodical that can begin in this fashion must have resources behind it. financial as well as editorial. Always there is a demand for more good short stories and apparently the Red Book is prepared to deliver them.
