OFFICIALS TRIP
AROUND OAHU
LAND COMMISSIONER
SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC
WORKS AND HIGH SHERIFF

Acting Governor Atkinson, Superin-
tendent Holloway Land Commissioner
Pratt and High Sheriff Brown viii start
on Friday for tour of this island, for
the purpose of investigating matters
connected with the various depart
ments. The main object is to expedite
loan bill expenditures, and considerable
work will probably be decided on as a
result of the trip. The party expects to
return on Monday.
The care of bridges is one matter
which will be taken up. The Waialua
bridge is reported to be IN danger of
rusting and being spoiled like the eX-
pensive bridge on Kauai, which Cover
nor Carter found to have been ruined
by lack of attention. Frequent coats Of
paint are said to be necessary, especial
ly near the sea air, in order to preserve
the iron frame works, and it is propos-
ed to use available funds for this pur-
pose.
The High Sheriff Is to be the military
strategist of the expedition. He will
look after the transportation and COM
missary departments. relieving all the
rest of anything but their own special
troubles. The sheriff has his own pill
kia in addition, for he proposes to call
attention to jails ald court houses
which need repairs, and have work
started on them.

Maru is to be the first vessel to be
operated under the new service.
The vessels of the Togo Kisen Kaisha
were operated under joint traffic ar
rangement with the Pacific Mail and o.
and O. S. - Companies. Both of these
lines are controlled by the Southern
Pacific r. r. Company. When the YES
sells of the Japanese line had to be with
drawn, owing to the demand for those
boats by the Japanese government Ow-
ing to the war the other companies took
the position that the Toyo Kisen Kaisha
had violated it's agreements with them
by disarranging the schedule. When
General Agent Avery sought recently,
to try and renew the former traffic ar
rangements after the America Maru
was put into merchant marine commits
sion, he did not meet with very cordial
support. The result was that it was
decided to abandon the San Francisco
service temporarily at least.
Since that time Avery and one of the
head men of the company have been in
New York negotiating with other rail-
road interests for railroad connections
on the mainland. According to the re-
port brought by the Coptic, those ne
gOtiat ons have been satisfactorily set
tied with the Northern Pacific Railroad
and the result is that the Toyo Kisen
Company is to operate with Portland as
an American terminus, cutting out San
Francisco altogether.
The Mongolia and the Manchur!a, the
new vessels of the Pacific Mail Com
pany, are both to be operated out of
San Francisco, and they are supposed
to take the place of the Japanese yes
sells.
Before the Mongolia was put into the
Orental-San Francisco service, how
ever, it was reported that those vessels
We're to be operated between Portland
and the Orient. According to the pres
ent outlook, the Pacific Mail vessels are
to replace the Japanese boats out of
San Francisco and the Jap boats are to
collar the Portland traffic The Amer
lea Maru viii, it is understood, sail
from Yokohama next month en- route to
Portland.
The Jap company viii charter other
vessels to maintain the service.

WOULD RETURN
TO HAWAII
GILBERT ISLANDERS FIND THAT
HOME Is NOT ALL THAT THEY
EXPECTED 1T TO BE.

The Gilbert Islanders who waited
twenty years for a chance to get back
to their native country from Hawaii,
are now anxious to get away. Their
native Islands in reality are not what
they pictured them through the recol-
lection of twenty years. consider
able number of them have already con-
tracted themselves as laborers to other
parts of the Pacific some of them being
now on Tanning Island. These say
that their compatriots are very much
dissatisfied and wish they were back
in Hawaii.
These Gilbert Islanders are the rem
nant of a large number who were
brought to Hawaii as labOrers, a quar-
ter of century ago. Most of them
were returned to their homes at the
expiration of their term of contract.
Some, in all several hundred, remained
behind for one reason or another, for
feiting their right to be transported
Dack by their employers. AS the years
passed by, homesickness and longing
to get back to their islands came over
them, and thev lived merely in the
hope of getting back to the Gilbert ISL
ands.
Some months ago, through the efforts

years a missionary to the Gilbert ISL

policy, but DR.. Cooper remained 70
member of the Board, his commission
as a member being separate from the
commission as president.
Before leaving DR.. Cooper expressed
himself as disposed to retire from the
Board altogether when his commission
expired, which will be next month. The
members of the board asked him at
the tim when he retired as presideti
to remain on the board and he con-
tinued to take an active part in the
work.
DR.. Cooper was appointed by Surgeon
General Wyman of the u. S. Marine
Hospital service, to represent Hawaii
at the national convention of medical
health authorities, and he gave special
attention to the matter of leprosy. One
of the main propositions which the doc
tor went to discuss was that of securing
federal aid in the scientific study or
leprosy at MolOkai, and he took with
him two thousand copies of a Ieaflet
showing Hawaiis enormous eXpendl-
lures on leprosy and showing also the
large sums which the federal govern
ment take away from the islands as
compared with the small amounts pald
out here BY the government.
DR.. Cooper is expected to return
about the middle of next month.

Estate and the Public Works Depart
ment have failed to agree, after consid-

reservoir has been let, but the govern

to a wide difference of opinion between
superintendent Holloway and the Bsh-
op Estate trustees as TO the value of the
land.
The site consists of two acres of land
in Kalihi valley. superintendent Hol-
loway offered $125 per acre for 1t, claim

circumstances, as there are said to bs

asked was $500 per acre. AS it was

by the decision of three impartial COM

expense of litigation.
