everywhere, while thousands of
boys, many of them acquainted
with palmer farming, hang about
our cities and villages content
with ANY position however un-
certain that will keep them IN
cigars, a little spending money
and fairly good clothes. Young
men, even boys, from Norway,
Germany and other old countries,
come here with but one end IN
view and with the very first dol
lar they get, fasten to a piece Of
land, and knowing from expert
euce what it means to be caught
without land in an overpopulated
country, cling to it like as a
drownd1ng man would cling to a
lifeboat. And still too many of
our American grown boys go on
hoping for something better than
an independent landed home, till
wnen too late they find themselves
the renters and hired men of these
plain but foresighted men they
now despise.

LAND is GOING FAST.
About 235, 100000 Acres now un-
der Cultivation

Redheld Press: Boys brought
up to think that in America land
can never be scarce. that when
they have played out at everything
else they can somewhere get a
piece of land for nothing aud the
next day be a prosperous farmer,
can with difficulty be made to see
it.
In 1865 there we're but little
over 81, 100000 acres under cultl-
vation in the United States. To-
day the cultivated acres number
over 235, 900, 900, and these acres
are not only the best, but they are
rapidly going up in value beyond
the reach of men of small means.
Keen scented corporations, sniff
ing the inevitable from afar, are
turning their attention to land
and greedily buying whole coun-
ties with no idea of letting an
acre go, but the boy who thinks
he is made for something higher
looks calmly on, thinking there
will be plenty left for him should
he ever have to stoop to it. The
sons of half starved teachers,
lawyers, traders and others, who
are unsuccessful IN their over
crowded callings, are turned to
our cheaper lands, sure to find
there what they nor their parents
have never louown before-truly
independent homes.
Well to do professional men,
mechanics, merchants and others,
knowing too well the fast increas-
ing pressure and competition
with which their children must
contend if they follow their own
callings, are sending their own
sons, yes, and daughters, to cur
agriculture schools. to our farmers
institutes, and to work anlong our
best farmers and stock nleH that
they may knew how to handle
the acres theHsare buying for
them. This we see going on

DEDICATION OF THE
BINGHAM TABLET

Practically all of the arrangements
have been completed for the dedica-
ton of the Bingham Tablet. The ex-
crcises will be held on the Oahu Col
lege grounds next Wednesday after
noon, April 10Th, at 4 O'Clock. Special
preparations will be made for the
speakers and the audience around the
boulder which will stand just Diamond
Head of Dole Hall, and about which
the exercises will take place.
1t is the plan to have the program
short and significant Each person on
1t has had some peculiarly intimate
relations with the school or is a direct
descendant of the earliest missionaries.
The speakers will include Rev. o. II.
Gulick, who Is the oldest living 'Pu-
nahou boy" Mr.. L. A. Thurston, who
is a grandson of Mr.. Bingham's CO.
workers, or, as Mr.. Bingham puts 1t,
Yokefellow, and a Trustee as well;
Judge Sanford b. Dole. who is a son OF
the first Principal of Punahou and who
was born near the site of the Bingham
home, and who is also a Trustee; and
DR.. Hiram Bingham, who, as the hon
ored son of the noble benefactor, will
have a prominent place. An interest
ing part of the program will be an ode
written by the poet William Bingham
Tappan, in honor of the Rev. Hiram
Bingham in commemoration of his mis-
sion work in the Hawaiian Islands.
The music will be in charge of Miss
Caroline Castle. The Hawaiian band
will assist in this part of the program.
One hymn will be sung which will have
local and historical significance. 1t is
the hymn Head Of the Church Tri-
umphant," which was sung at
the ordination of Mr. Bingham
and Mr.. Thurston at Goshen,
Conn. by the Park st. Church choir
of Boston. just prior to their embark
alton. and by Mr.. Thurston and Mr..
Bingham from the shrouds as they lay
off the shore of Hawaii.

JAPANESE RUSH
BY SHIPLOADS

The Call says: Apparently aware of
the growing opposition to the flooding
OF this country with Japanese emil
grants. and fearful that the agitation
will result in early action toward put
ting up the bars, the Japanese are
making hurried arrangements to come
here in greater numbers than ever be-
fore, and in this movement they are
aided by steamship companies, who
realize the profits that are to be made
by transporting whole cargoes of the
emigrants from Japan and Honolulu
to this coast
The American steamer Olympia, now
on Puget sound, has been chartered to
carry 600 japanese from Honolulu to
Seattle for the Oriental Trading Com
| pany. which has. presumably, already
| found work for them on northern rail-
| roads. The Olympia is scheduled to
| sail from Seattle on April 5th, and 1t
Is reported that she will make several
| trips to the coast with the eager brown
men. Their brethren, who have pre-
ceded them hither, have promised them
| good jobs and there is little doubt
that the promises will be fulfilled, even
at the expense of the native bread
winners in this country.
| The Oceanic Company's liner Ala
media, plying between this city and
| Honolulu. is also to have a share of
| the japanese emigrant business. AS
! Is we'll known, the Alameda has been
bringing about 200 japanese in her
steerage quarters on every trip from
the islands, but greater numbers have
lately applied for passage, and when
the Alameda was last in port part of
her cargo space was arranged SO as
to accommodate more Japanese. She
may bring 400 or FOO on her next trip.
There will be plenty of Japanese
anxious to secure tickets, for the big
steamer Manchuria has just reached
Honolulu from Yokohama with con-
signment of 1000 brown men, bound for
the United States by way of Hawaii.

COL. f|TCH'S BRIDE
his DAUGHTER-IN-LAW

Colonel Tom Fitch, acknowledged to
be one OF the greatest orators this
country has ever produced, and of re-
cent years a central figure in some of
the hottest political campaigns of this
state, has taken unto himself a bride
in the person of his daughter-in-law,
Mrs. Rena Fitch, his year of mourn
ing for his first wife. who died in Los
Angeles last April, having about ex-

The marriage license was issued by

known to the newspaper reporters that
a license had been issued, but all eff
forts to learn TO whom, proved I'M

his bride-to-be, and his daughter and
son-in-law, DIR. Muir, his unusually de-

and he had the appearance of having
