COMMITTEE REPORTS.

From the Public Lands Committee.
McCandless presented the following re-
port, which was laid on the table to be
considered with the bill:
90 Your Committee on Public Lands,
Internal improvements, Agriculture,
ETC., to which was referred House Bill
No. Z, begs leave to report that the
object of the bill is to amend the loan
bill of the 1903 session by transferring
the appropriations from one item to
another.
GAS provision for the items sought
to be attained by the passage of the
bill under consideration has been made
in the loan Ill passed at this session
of the Legislature, we would recon-
mend that the bill be laid on the table.
Lane made report as minority of
the Judiciary Committee, protesting
against tabling the Governors ap-
pointments of election commissioners,
and recommending the immediate con-
firmation of the nominations. The re-
port was laid on the table to be con-
sidered with the majority report, and
a little bit later it died the death on
the adoption of the report of the ma
iority of the committee recommending
that the appointments in question be
laid on the table.

THE SENATE.

Almost at the opening of the ses-
sion of the Senate, the Governor sent
the following message, which was re-
ceived and consideration fixed for
Monday by President Isenberg with
out any objection on the part of the
members:

I am informed that this boat was
lost while in charge of her owner. at
time when superintendent McVeigh

1862 square feet of land used for
road, Honokaa, Hamakua, $4,000.
This claim has never been presented
to the Department of Public Works,
in which ,h:re is an preparation for
road damages. Any small claim like
this, if on investigation it is found
that the claimant s title is good, can
easily be settled and paid for, as soon
as a proper deed has been executed
and delivered.

$4,000.
House Resolution No. 221, and re-
port on the same of April 26th, shows
that Mr.. Lycurgus built a road 1900
feet long and 10 feet wide into his
homestead lot, Kaumana, and it is
claimed that this was done under
promise Of T,,.~ment by the then SUI
perintende,,t Of Public Works, James

During the dull season at Washing
ton the newspaper writer's had difficulty
in furnishing their papers with any
political news Of sufficient interest to
print. The most possible has been
made Of the department scandals,
which have been served up in various
forms and dlated upon to the full
extent which It was believed the read
ing public would stand; some little in
terest has attached to the Washington
phases of the Peace Conference, while
here and there political rumors, presl-

Senator John III. Mitchell, OF Oregon,
convicted and under sentence for
completely in land frauds. The ques-
ton of the chairmanship of that i'm
portant committee last year developed
strong opposition to Senator Mitchell.
Senators said that he was not tht
right man for the place, but follow
ing a long line of senatorial precedents,
he was given the coveted honor He
has, however, never been able to enjoy
1t. 1t Is now question whether the
Senate Will think it has sufficient
provocation to summarily deprive him
of the place, while his case is on ap-
peal, and name another chairman.
Senator Mitchell was originally a
Nicaragua route man, but he, with
others, came over to the Panama plan
until only Senator Morgan was left, a
venerable and solitary figure, fighting
earnestly against the project and pre-
dieting. time and again. that the route
was impracticable. Some of the
younger Senators who were wont TO
shake their heads and remark that the
odd man was getting daffy," durng
some of his wonderful and reverend
ing speeches. are not so sure now
Probably Senator Morgan will have
some ten or twelve more long
speeches. requiring from a day to three
or four days each, to deliver when he
returns here in December. 1t is pre-
dicted that he will be certain to be re-
plere with information about the
lsthmian situation which no other
mortal has been able to collect.

BY DOROTHY DUNE.

A kind Of philanthropy which does
good, beyond any doubt or question. is
that which takes thousands of children
every year out of the heated and
crowded cities into the country where
the air is pure and nature is clothed
in beauty. Every year, as the hot
weather approaches. camps are oStab-
lished short distances outside of most
of the large cities. Some Of these are
sustained by popular subscriptions,
some assisted by municipal apprOpri-
ations, some are the projects OF enter.
prising newspapers which early in the
season start them going. and then ask
through their columns for Individual
donations. and some are supported on
a semi-medical popular basis. TO those
who have always lived in the country,
or in small cities or towns. the signifi-
canoe Of this annual prOvisi n for tens
of thousands Of little citizens may not
be apparent. 1t is painful fact. how
ever. that q number Of our large cen
tiers of population contain thousands
of children who have never seen
green field. and who have only the side
walk and the gutter for play grounds.
To such even q short sojourn In the
country is the opening of new page
in their book of life.
! Washington is Hot in Summer.
While In Washington there is no
such condition among the children, for
the city is comparatively clean and
well-kept, with q splendid arrange
ment of public parks and the most
wonderful collection Of trees in its
streets of any large city in the country,

word, this camp. like many others
throughout the country, is children
paradise.
All Kinds of Fun.
Nor have the children been left to
derive all their pleasure and fun from
communion with nature only. There
were provided eight big swings. usually
all moving with happy occupants. Il
dozen baby swings for the little tots.
four or five teeter ladders, punching
bags, see-saws, horizontal bars rings,
and other wholesome apparatuses.
Two large boxes filed with sand have
provided delightful occupation for tiny
human ants. Ample open space in the
vicinity has allowed for games of ball
and other field sports. and a swimming
hole in the adjacent Rock Creek has all
summer brought joy and happiness to
the boy members of the Camp.
One of the prime favorites at Camp
Good VIII has been Maud. little don

There are dark threats OF searching
and sweeping Investigations, even to
the extent of going back over the
whole Isthmian Canal problem and
re-opening the question as to whether
Congress was right in throwing over

Cost of Undertaking Unknown.

While figures have been floating
around as to the possible cost OF the
Panama route those who have been on
the Isthmus and assume to know even
everso little say that the estimated cost
OF $135, 100000 for the construction of
the canal might as well be $13o,000 so
far as being anywhere accurate is con-
cerned. 1t is a fact that one of the
highest officials until recently con-
nected with the Panama Commission
admitted that neither he nor anybody
else knew anything whatever about the
ultimate cost of the completed Panama
Canal. All the figures have been
based on the French estimates
which are declared to be entirely I'M
reliable and the American engineers
have not nearly completed even the
surveys. This talk of insurmountable
obstacles, impossible conditions and
ultimate cost of billion dollars for a
canal is said to be peaches and cream
and like soothing balm and honey to

For rainy days an old Maryland
barn served as splendid play house.
In this, Sunday services were held and
sometimes during the week amateur
theatricals were given for the amuse-

The fora of California tropics served
in the making of an altar for the mar
riage of Miss George Lacey and James
Spalding last evening. The home of
Mr.. and Mrs. j. OBJ. Gum on Clay
street, filed with poinsettias, holly
berries and green's, was the beautiful
setting for a wedding of much import
ance and the fact of the decorations
having come from Santa Barbara in no
wise affected their fresh beauty.
The bride, who had spent so much of
her life in the Gum family, was gowned
in a robe of Irish point, with which
was worn long tulle veil, caught with
orange blossoms, the bouquet being a
shower of lilies of the valley and or
chids.
