Negotiations are again in progress
for The settlement of the Pearl IIarbor
naval station site dispute without fur
ther recourse to the courts. Assistant
United States Attorney Dunno on be-
half of the Navy Department and
Judge Silliman for the Honolulu Planta-
tion Co, have been discussing the
terms of a possible compromise for sew
eral days. but K is not likely that any
definite agreement viii be made until
after the arrival of Commander Pond.
who is expected on the Sonoma today.
Commander Pond is on his way to
Midway Island where he viii accom-
pany the Iroquois on her trip to look
into cable and lighthouse matters. The
Iroquois. however, does not sail until
the 18th of this month and so there viii
be over week TO conduct the negoti-
ations which may lead up to final
settlement of the naval site dispute.
This is not the first time that there
have been negotiations looking towards
an amicable settlement TO the title of
Pearl Harbor lands. Previous attempts
were made to compromise with both
the Bishop Estate and the Honolulu
Plantation Co. for their rights in the
land desired by the government. but
not with success. Other owners OF
small interests in the land accepted the
terms of the government. among them
being the Oahu Railway. the John Ii
Estate and W. C. Irwin. None of these
people. however, had much at stake.
the greater part of the land at Ford
Island and Pearl Harbor belonging TO
the Bishop Estate in fee simple, and
the Honolulu Plantation Co. holding
long leases upon it.
The Bishop Estate would not accept
the low valuation placed upon the ISL
and by the navy experts and the case
was fought out in court with the re-
suit that a jury awarded $4,000 which
was not acceptable to the owners. An
appeal was taken to the Circuit Court
Of Appeals at San Francisco but this
was withdrawn and the Bishop Estate

FIVE CENT BEER

And now with all the other accom-
paniments of progress comes five cent
beer. Not the schooner. not the long
glass either. simply the beer. five cents

of the bar.
1t was for the dispensing of the five
cent beer that P. r. France got his

tania street. aad as he naively ex-
plains, "I am ia a japanese and Chi

no less. Ny glasses are not more than
half as large as the ones in which beer
is sold for ten cents. have those too
but charge ten cents when man asks
for a long drink and gets it in the tan

There was a big kick against me

of over 100000 This action threw out
of Joint every other item which had
been passed. as there had to be pro-
vided the money wherewith to meet the
addition and this could come only from
shaving down other items.
The result was that the adjournment,
which came soon after the vote upon
the water system features. left every
thing in the air. and that with no out
look for speedy adjustment. 1t is taken
for settled that there viii be material
reduction in the road items. Thus
School street viii get only $4,000 and
Queen $40. 900, while on this side there
will be a number Of street openings
which VIII fail. Pauahi street will sue
ceed. but Fort street will have hard
time as will Kukui. Kuakini, Bates and
several others. The general result will
be the shaving down of. the general ISL
and provisions, so as to accommodate
the advance which is made on the wa
ter problems.
There was some feeling developed
yesterday when the matter Of provf-
sion for the dredging of the hafbor was
discussed. 1t was the general opinion
that there should be expended as much
money as possible on this feature. SO
that there might be secured deep and
satisfactory harbor for the big ships.
There is. however. feeling that some
of the out of town members may try
to raid the harbor provisions. There
viii be a big hght made for the wharves
and dredging items in the Territorial
end of the bill. and the Oahu ner
hope to be able to hold all that has
oeen suggested
will provide for court house and jail
to cost. $4,000, water system for Wal
mea which will mean $4,000 while the
rest of the items are about as they APP
pear in the bill with the exception OF
the Volcano road. which is cut to $685.
600 from $4,000.
East Hawaii has treated its roads in
a generally liberal way. 1t has been
the policy of the men there to make
the road appropriations such as to IN
sure the commencement OF the road,
and it's prosecution along the general
lines, the belief being that the county
revenues win finish the work, where If
the inauguration is left to the county
there will be long wait for the work
to begin. Among the changes from
the bill as submitted are the in
creasing of the. waipio valley road
from 1900 to $42. 900. and the addition
of $4,000 for roads in North Hilo.
Maui has completed it's lists along
the lines already published. with the
OF the court house $4,000 and
jail $1,000

The Opinions of judges
Weigh and Three
Day Limit Holds.
Oahu Appropriations Are Held Up
Because the Members Cannot
Get Together.

Acting upon the request OF Governor
Dole. who holds the view that with a
large bond issue float. there is a neces-
ssity to have everything IN the most rs g.
ular manner. Vice Speaker Knudsen
yesterday, shortly after II o'clock in
the morning, called the House to order.
and had the rcn called. Nothing else
was done and adjournment was taken
until this morning.
It was the most common gossip yes
terday that Speaker Beckley win this
.morning order the clerk to strike from
xhe records of the House the fact that
this meeting was held. Should ths
be done 1t win have the effect only of
showing the belief of the Speaker in
mis- own opinion. as against that Of
the best legal talent in the Territory.
for the Governor acted only after hav-
ing been advised by three OF the judges
as to the view they would take should
there be brought before them the ques-
ton Of the legality Of the adjournment
over three days.
There was no intention to transact
business and the only reason for the
calling OF the House to order was that
there might be clear record OF COM
L. he - -
the lower house OF the Legislatures
Thus as soon as the prayer had been
offered by Representative Kali, on
motion OF Mr.. Harris the session ad-
Journed. This makes the record right
in the event that there may be in the
future any question raised over the
matter.
Meanwhile the various delegations
put In a hard day over the appropria-
tions which are to be made in the
Loan bin. Maui completed its list and
East Hawaii made UP a program, as
did West Hawaii. In Kauai the mem
s4ers have so far failed to get together
and have made no effort to look after
their proportions. The island in the
bill as printed and sent down from the
Senate at the regular session. has not
nearly a full quota, and it viii be a
light matter to add the necessary items.
as there Is seemingly not sufficient de-
mand for the money. but the county
will take it so that there may be full |

payment of its share of the interest !
and sinking fund charges.
The Oahu members have never yet |
had a complete attendance but after
two days of discussion. the caucus ad- |
5ourned last evening without being !
anywhere near to a solution of the
problem. 1t was water which caused |
the tie up. 1t had been practically de-
cided that the Pahoa water scheme
should be inserted in the bill at pre-
vious meetings. and the plans of the
engineers. for the development of the
gravity water system in Nuuanu. had
been cut out in consequence. But at
yesterdays gathering all OF this was
changed. There was a decided feeling !
in favor OF the Nuuanu system. 1t
was shown that there IS now a chance
TO get 200 horse power by the putting
in &c nall electric light plant addi-
tion. and this with water system
which would obviate the expense OF
pumping. This gained strength until
the majority seemed to favor the Nuu-
anu plan. which will mean an expense

Dear Sir; When you see a we'll

a sample OF my clothes. That man is
worth two Of himself as he a when

We have the same feeling. Our
paint on a house is worth twice as
much as old-fashion painters paint,
lead and oil. 1t looks the same when
first put on. In three months 1t
don't. In three wears it decidedly

Lead and oil chalks of in three
years; it is considered a first-rate job
that lasts three years.
Devoe Ready Paint is about as good
in three years as it was the day the
painter left it.
Zinc is the secret Of it: nc secret at
all. A good many painters know zinc;
some mix it in with their lead. We
grind 1t ia: not a little: a good deal.
It's the zinc and the grinding that
does IL. You can't mix zinc by hand.
We grind it by machinery.
Painters are finding US out, though
some painters are slow.
