IRRIGATING INDIAN LANDS.

The recent action Of congress in passing Senator
Bard amendment to the Indian bill has put another
definite task upon the reclamation service The sec.
rotary of the interior is now authorized to subdivde
and utilize the Indian lands along Colorado river.
The reclamation of the country adjacent to what has
Sometimes been called "the great American Nie' is
thus assured
The plans to irrigate these lands have long been
regarded with special favor in southern California
The chambers Of commerce in Los Angeles and other
cities were indeed nothing oath to urge congress to
take prompt action in the matter.
The passage of Senator Bard's amendment is
specially interesting as it is now possible for the
secretary Of the interior to carry out an agreement
made with the Indians years ago to the effect that

Secretary Shaw told this story the other day as
to the propriety Of extending cemency to volators
of the customs laws who furnish evidence against
their associates. It was at a school in Mr. Shaw s
native state of Iowa, and one of the boys had COM
mitted some grave infraction of discipline. The
teacher announced that he would thrash the whole
class if some one did not tell him who had COM
mitted the offense. All were silent, and he began
with the first boy and hrashed every in the class,
until finally he reached the last one. Then he said
Now, if you will tell me who did this won thrash

WARNING To
JAPANESE
The l.aborers Cheated
by Runners for
Lawyers.

Japanese gerlerayll should take warn
ing from some recent cases in which
their countrynen have been swindled
by persons pretending TO be agents
Of attorneys. There are number Of
nea who collect fees on such claims
and swindle both the client and the
attorney out of large part Of the
money 1t is better always to deal
directly with attorneys in cases where
it IS necessary to employ them.
The rules of the Hawaiian Bar As
ISOLATION do not allow attorneys to
employ agents in this way. and the
better class of attorneys do not do SO.
Any Japanese who wants a lawyer
may see his own lawyer and talk with
him and make proper terms There
need never be any difficulty about
making such arrangements, and no
money should ever be paid to the pre-
tended agents.
In some cases these agents have col
leeted fees Of which they have kept
the larger part. This is nothing but
a sVdndle. According to all the rules
Of the legal profession as properly and
respectfully conducted, attorneys and
clients may and should deal directly
with one another in such a matter.
Through lack of familiarity with legal
procedure. q number OF Japanese have
been cheated by the runners who
are always hooking for cases Hawaii

THE THETIS IS BACK

For perhaps the first time in the
history of Hawaii a United States rev.
enue cutter returned to this port from
an official cruise to neighboring islands.
The Thetis, which departed from Ho-
nolulu on May 20 for cruise to Hllo
and way ports, dropped in Naval Row
at 2 p. NJ. yesterday. The revenue of
ficers found nothing wrong so far as
matters connected with their jurisdie-
ton We're concerned. and enjoyed a
pleasant voyage.
Captain Hamlet reports that upon
leaving this port the Thetts went to
Kealakekua Bay. where the Cook
monument is located. and then went to
F1flo. From Eiilo the vessel steamed
to Mahukona and Kaiiua and thence to
Lahaina. Maui.
An effort was made to land at Ka-
laupapa, Molokaf, yesterday morning,
but the sea was too rough. and The at
tempt was abandoned.
In four or five days the Thetis viii
probably start on another cruise 10
the westward and northward, taking
in Kauai and Niihau. Captain Hamlet
may possibly extend the cruise 10 Mid
way. If this is done the cutter will
stop at Lislansk Island and the officers
will investigate the camp of Japanese
which is reported to be there. If they
are found destroying the birds of the
fsIet, action viii be taken to prevent
the carrying on of the traffic. and they
may be sent off the island.
It is reported that the japanese
merely pluck the tail feathers from the
Bosn birds, and strip the wing feath-
ers from the Frigate birds, leaving the
manned birds to die. The destruction
of the birds prevents the guano deposits
from growing and the revenue service
looks to their protection for this reason,
among others.
Captain Hamlet states that on his
cruise he found that the Japanese fish
erInen, FAR from violating the law with
to fishing, merely supply the
local island markets with their catches.
