ment claims the property as its own,
and has brought a suit in ejectment
against r. A. Lucas to gain possession.
All land lying between the government
road and the river Is claimed as govern
ment property. on the other hand the
defendants claim they are within their
rights, and that their title extends to

lively fight over the question, since

Walakea river are affected.

GOOD ADVICE.
KAUMANA, July 22.-Mr. Editor
Please allow me space in your valuable
paper to call the attention of the Hilo
Board of Trade to the problem of grow
ing all the forage required in Hilo and
vicinity. | have on exhibition at the
Board of Trade rooms two kinds of for
age plants, either of which will yield
enormous quantities of the sweetest and
best food per acre that have ever seen.
They can be cut several times per year.
| have demonstrated the possibility to
grow them here. Many thousands of
dollars are sent out of Hilo each year
for hay that comes to this market. Now,
all of the money that is sent up to the
coast for hay may just as well be kept at
home, and it is fact that has grown
hoary with age that it is the money
that Circulates at home that makes a
community prosperous. Keep the hay
money at home. That will be one very
great step toward local progress. 1 will
gladly give any information desired.
