The Dove OF Peace Appears

Very Unexpectedly Tuesday morn
ing, the conditions before the Peace
Commission at Portsmouth changed
and even Mr.. Witte was astounded al
the completeness OF concessions made
by the japanese ENJOYS.
They were briefly that, indemnity be
waived; that Sakhalin be divided and
price to be paid for the northern hall
10y Russia, be fixed by arbitration, and
that the demand for surrender of in.
termed ships and Limitation of Russia
naval power in the Far East, be with.
drawn.
The first dispatches specifically stat
ed, as above, that price should be
paid for the half of Sakhalin that was
to be returned to Russia. This seemed
to be the only stumbling block in the
way Of a perfect understanding, 60 es
septial for successful termination oil
negotiations. 1t was doubtless the
uncxpectedness and magnitude of the
concessions that caused Witte to re
gard it almost as lighted torpedo and
to anticipate possible trouble in reduc.
ing this general understanding to the
staid and formal language OF diploma.
cy. 1t doubtless seemed to him that a
bubble would arise over the price to
be paid for the half OF Sakhalin. The
arbitors would, of course, be guided by
he exact terms of the powers granted
by the Peace Commission. That might
not be SO explicit as to preclude an
award that would be regarded as in
demnity. or reimbursement, for costs
of the war, and not to clearly repre-
sent only actual value OF the land.

IMPROVING RESIDENTIAL SECTIONS

The moments of the Promotion Com.
mittee's activities devoted to a discus
sion of the need for Honolulu making
its streets and home surroundings
more attractive is time we'll expended.
Some one is needed to remind the
people Of Honolulu that one of the hest
means Of building up their town is to
give every street the appearance of
having received thoughtful attention
from the property -owners as well as
the authorities. The Promuyion Com.
mittee Is fulfilling one important part
oI its duty in doing this work.
one OF the remarkable characters.
tics of our people is the readiness with
which many do little themselves but
are enthusiastic in their assertion of
what the government" ought to do
for them. The paternal spirit was
strong in Hawaiis ancient forms of
less children who are ever willing to
have things done for them The op.
portunities, however, for individual and
community work are tremendous. The
reward from an acceptance OF these
opportunities, coupled with a little
weak, Is in proportion.
An instance in point as to what
might be done must appeal to anyone
riding along Beretania street toward
Punahou. Here is an avenue that
should be one of the most beautiful
streets in the city. Comfortable
homes are found on either side. some
OF them pretentious and all fairly well
kept
But on either side Of the street

appearance of an otherwise attractive

These fences can hardly be the re-
suit of necessity, for residences OF
about the same general character a

do not require fences. In any event

undoubtedly secure the enforcement of
laws or the enactment of ordinances
that would keep rowing animals out of

General Fleming, Expert Wilder and
Stenographer Deas lined up on the one
side, while Manager FairChild took up
the fight for his corporation single
handed.
The Assessor had raised the com.
pany's return about 100000, and as a
matter of fact the plantation objected.
While Mr.. Fairchild admitted that the
return made up from the cOmpany's
book by the expert was correct as the
income tax law required it, he main
tanned that II did not show the actual
profit. While the gross income deriv.
ed from the sales OF sugar included
not only the whole output during the
taxation year but also great amount
manufactured the previous year, the
expenses were only those incurred dur
ing the period of taxation. The close
OF the assessment year being changed
from list Of July to LIST Of January
proved the plantation to run with the
usual expenses during the coming six
months but practically without any In
come. He had therefore considered
the company entitled to carry 100000
OF the income earned before Both of

by the Assessor in evidence, the cor
rectness OF the same being admitted
by Mr.. Fairchild, and argued that the
only proper return would be the one.

turn by the Tax Assessor, and the su.
gar company noted an appeal to the

INDUSTRY IS
Making
HEADWAY NEAR ELEELE

Lihue, Kauai, Oct. 23.-The new en-.
tcrprise at Kalaheo is now fairly
launched and the next few weeks will
see the first fifty acres planted in
pineapples. The schooner Woodbury.
arrived at Eleele last Monday with an
lnstallment of plants purchased by the
promoters of the enterprise. This ship.
ment consisted OF 900 600 plants and
are now being set out as fast as pos.
sible on the fifty acres prepared. for
the purpose. In a few weeks the
schooner will return with cargo Of
the same size.
The crop now being prepared is. how
ever, not intended for harvest in the
usual sense. In about five months
from the time the plants are set out
they will be ready for propagation and
thus made TO cover large area.
While the company, that is being
formed for the new industry, intends
to do some cultivation itself, II offers
every encouragement for outsiders to
engage in the profitable business on q
smaller scale. 1t IS specially expect
ed that the Portuguese will avail
themselves of the opportunities that
the canning plant will open for fami
lies to make an independent living TO,
themselves.
The new company Is offering TO rem
der all reasonable assistance to the in
tending planters. To such men as take
up land on the Kalaheo tract and will
agree to go In for pineapple culture al
least on part of their ground, the com
pany will furnish the plants neces-
sary; these plants are to be paid fol
after two years. The promoters will
further assist intending settlers with
from 5000 to $3.50 for building pur
poses, and agree to furnish him with
water for household purposes.

has large experience in the cultiya.
tion of pineapples on a commercial
