PUBLIC LANDS

A setta published at Hilo has the
following:
on January list next, 400 acres of
the Lepoloa-Kauniho lands, on June
18th next $500 acres of the Kaiwiki-
Wailea lands and on July 22nd next l.
$50 acres of the Opea-Peleau lands, will
have expired their leases.
These are government lands and
every effort should from now on be
made to keep them from being re-
leased to the sugar plantations, but to
have them thrown open to the public
for homesteads.
These lands will make hundreds of
good homesteads and if thrown open
by the government it will mean that
the hundreds of families that will
apply for them will be sure to remain
in the country.
The plantations need not lose the
use of these lands. They may have
the same if only they will give the
homesteader a profit sharing contract
and interest i'm the plantation.
