The Park Commission
Wants Diamond
Head.

meeting OF the Park Commission
was held on Thursday afternoon,
among those present being Messrs. A.
$. Cleghorn. c. $. Holloway. F. NJ.
Hatch. II. Il. Cooper, L. a. Thurston
and superintendent Young.
The matter Of securing Diamond
Head as an addition to the Park, and
securing the setting aside of the re-
naming beach lots as additions to the
park system, after the present leases
on the same have expired. was con-
sidered, and a unanimous resolution
was passed requesting the Delegate to
Congress to secure an amendment to
the Organic Act by which the Gov
ernor should be given the power to
set aside public lands for park pur-
poses.
1t was brought out in the discussion
that the only sea side lots makai OF
the park, the fee of which yet re-
mains in the government, We're the
ones occupied by the Aquarium, and
those under lease to Mr.. Kunst on the
Waikiki side of the Aquarium lot.
Unless the fee of these is made over
to the park there is danger that fee
simple title may be acquired by private
parties, thereby preventing the para
from having a waterfront except by
purchase from private parties.
Mr.. Cunha stated that he would be
willing to sell his premises as an 40
dition to the park, for a fair price.
AS this would require a special appro-
priation by the Legislature no action
was taken.
Mr. Holloway, who had been pre-
viously appointed a committee to meet
the jockey club in regard to stables
and fence at the race track, reported
that by mutual agreement the stables
had been removed and had been stored
under the grandstand subject TO the
disposition of the government in case
they desired to erect them elsewhere.
Treasurer Giffard's report for the
month was presented, showing that the
treasurer had advanced 1867 over the
amount collected under the appropria-
ton.
Mr.. Young reported that he was Ill
need of an addition span of mules but
the cheapest figure he had obtained
was $780, He was authorized to pro-
cure span of draft horses at not to
exceed $500 for the pair.
Mr.. Young proposed to change the
location of the road running along the
race track from the keepers lodge to
the grandstand, and placing it neare.
the track, thereby improving the APP
pearance of the lawn between the race
track and the Rapid Transit road. He
was authorized TO make the change.
first stalking the new road out to show
its position.
The filling in of the section between
the already-grassed over area around
the lodge and the grassy area mauka
of Twins premises is proceeding with
the parks own teams and will be COM
pleted during the month.
Mr.. Young also reported a constantly
increasing number of people utilizing
the park both for the purpose of play
ing games and as a general recre-
alton resort.

fperntendent OF Public Works may give
us permission to use AsIatic labor Mfr.
Atkinson says we must use citizen
labor. There Is no must about II IL we
cannot get citizens TO work.
Does he mean to say that we have
made bluff when we have advertised
In every English and Hawaiian paper
in the Territory for citizen labor. and
put out 1000 posters In Honolulu and
500 on Maui?
Under the circumstances the way we
are doing the work over there is to go
along and do portions here and there.
When we get to pail we skip It. The
natives absolutely refuse to go on a pail.
They say they are not accustomed to
that kind of work and will not risk
their lives on it. The natives will work
on pail for no man, not for $40 day.
NOT SECRETARY'S BUSINESS.
II don't think the Government can
expect us to pay any more than it does
itself for labor. The law distinctly
states that we should use citizen labor,
but If not available then we can en-
ploy aliens with the permission of the
Superintendent of Public Works. This
is the official we have to deal with. and
l don't see what right the Secretary has
to NEEDLE with the matter anyhow.
The business is one entirely between the
Superintendent of Public Works and
the contractor, if the law is the guide.
IF we employ japanese and citizens
the citizens. We have to give them
the preference.
Mr.. Filler, superintendent of the Ka-
hului Railroad, told me that in the
height of the sugar season last year ne
sent down TO Honolulu for fifty men to
load scows at s1.5O a day. and he could
not get a man among the natives. The
result was he took Japanese"
REASON FOR OMISSION.
Mr.. Wilson was asked why he did not
state the wages to be paid in the adver-
tisements for labor. He answered:
Because we couldn't pay less than
the Government was paying for the
same class of work. The Government
sets the standard. We offer more than
the Government does, having advertised
to give sleeping quarters and credit at
the camp store for necessaries. Be
sides. the Government laborer has to
take a Treasury warrant and wait for
his money"

MUSIC AIDS SURGERY.

Perhaps the strangest use to which
music can be put is TO stop the flow Of
blood from wound An army doctor
noticed that when wounded sotl'er
was taken to within an easy hearing
distance Of music hemorrhage was
greatly reduced or stopped, Neither he
nor others who confirmed his observa-
1ions could understand how this pheuo-
nenon was brought about. but It is
now said that the vibration of the air
produced by the music causes the pa
sient to become faint, in which case the
action OF the heart Is so considerably
sessened that the overflow of blood is
xsduced.

MIR. JERoME's TOBACCO HABIT.

In his young and impecunious days
District Attorney Jerome, of New York,
now prominently mentioned for govern
or, was assistant in the Office of which
he is now head. Then, as now, Jerome
was a great smoker. He used to buy
n cheap brand of cigars of a none too
delicate quality from a Nassau street
dealer. As bonus to a steady patron
and incidentally with the hope of get
ting jerome to buy the more expensive
brand the willy dealer would occasional
ly give him a perfecto. He didn't
catch his man, however. jerome in
variably gave the perfecto to the first
friend he met. That's not the brand

dare try perfecto for fear I'll form

A SMALL
FARMING
SCHEME

At last the cause Of small farming
has been given a boost In this Terri
tory. The Bishop Estate trustees are
Offering inducements TO small farmers
district on the island Of Hawaii. They
are Offering a few hundred acres Of land
near the Edwards Vanilla Plantation
under the Right Of Purchase Lease
system. by this system the land may
ie obtained by the settler at low
rate for term Of twenty-one years. but
may be purchased for a certain fixed
price at any time within the first ten
years. This last provision in the lease
is most important, for 1t is hard to get
men to improve land when there is no
possibility of their coming into possess
sion of it.
The land which is offered for lease
and sale is situated along the main
government road through the South
Kona district and is virgin soil. In gen.
eral shape the plot is triangular and
the lots range from eight to twenty
eight acres in area. The land is APP
praised at so to SIS per acre and the
annual rental is based on an eight per
cent. return on the valuation. Super
intendent Dodge of the Bishop Estate
states that he has been working on this
proposition for long time and that he
is positive that better class of ten
ants may be obtained by the Right of
Purchase" system.
Adjoining the tract offered to set
tiers is the vanilla plantation, ninety
eight acres in extent, which was leased
from the estate by Edwin II. Edwards
about two years ago. on the planta-
ton Mr.. Edwards has some thousands
of vanilla plants which he is raising
with great success. He also raises
oranges, alligator pears and several
varieties of imported bananas. Mr.. Ed
wards announces that he is going to try
a new industry. the nature of which he
has not divulged but he assured the
trustees of the Bishop Estate that he
was in a position to get good haole set
tiers If the estate would make satisfac-
tory terms. The action of the trus-
tees opens this section to settlement.
In the immediate vicinity of the land
offered for sale or lease is the cam
merry of the Hala Canning Company, a
California corporation, which has an
option on several thousand acres of the
land. 1t has just finished can
ming its first crop of pineapples.

HESSIAN MONEY MADE ROTHS
CHILD FORTUNE.

1t is not generally known that the
vast fortune of the Rothschilds is due
in large degree TO the money which En-
gland paid for the Hessians. When Ma
poleon was raiding Germany the elector
of Hesse-Cassel intrusted this treasure
to Meyer Anselm Rothschild, and the
fidelity with which that famous He
brew administered the trust raised him
to that high place in international
finance which the family, in its several
branches has since occupied and ex-
tended.

at about 1870 a. m. he drove to his

CONTRACTOR WILSON
AND CITIZEN LABOR
Secretary Atkinson's Remarks on Wilson and
Dussan's Keanae Road Contract Resented.
Extensive Advertising for Citizen Labor
Proves Futile.

John II, Wilson, Of the firm Of Wilson
q Duggan. contractors, arrived from
Maui in the steamer claudine yester-
day morning. To an Advertiser re-
porter Mr. Wilson spoke his mind free
| ~ on the matter of citizen labor for his
| firms contract of road-buldng on
Maui, with special reference to Secre-
tary Atkinson's remarks in a published
interview as follows:
Contractors are making n bluff at
all the citizen labor they want If they
will pay a fair price. Perhaps 1t may
cost them more than 1t would for Jap
anese labor, but that has nothing to do
with the question. Why, in one valley
alone on Maui, when l asked men If
they would go to work for dollar
day, thirty stepped forward at oce. 1t
may as we'll be understood that the
clause as to the employment of citizen
ldDoT on government COulTdCts - d
binding one"
CALL THE BLUFF.
"Why does not Mr.. Atkinson call the
bluff?" Mr.. Wilson asked. LAS the re-
suit of extensive advertising for citi-
zen labor, only two men from Homo
lulu-two white men-have gone over
and they We're put to work.
Mr.. Atkinson says if we pay a fair
price we can get all the citizen labor
we want. We do not expect to pay any
less than the Government is paying for
pick and shovel men, and, as a matter
of fact, we are paying a little more.
We are paying from a dollar to a dollar
and a half a day.
For the past two weeks we have
had men working on piecework, who
have earned from SLIGO to $3.50 a day.
Yes, we have a gang of twenty-five
Observation-Disclosures. We have only
thirty men at work, never more than
thirty-five on any one day.
That valley Mr.. Atkinson has refer
ence to is the very same valley that
we are working in now. His thirty citi-
zens are probably the men we have al
ready. We want $50 to $50 men and
could put them to work right away.
