TAXES
MILITARY
AND SCHOOLS
RUSSIANS ANXIOUS TO KNOW
MENT WILL TREAT THEM.

Taxes, Military Duty and Schools
these were the three things the Rus
slams who called on Governor Carter
this morning We're anxious about. Tax
es came first. The prospective Kauai
colonists took the first opportunity
they had, to ask the governor what
taxes they would have to pay. The
question is near to the heart Of every
Russian peasant or agriculturist.
The two laborers who interviewed the
governor appeared deeply impressed
with a. sense of the dignity and au-
thority of the parsonage into whose
presence they were admitted. 1t was
the first time either of them had ever
seen such an official as a governor at
close quarters, not to mention talking
to such an official. The governor set
them at ease, however, and quite long
time was occupied i'm discussing the
prospects of the proposed colony.
After being told about the taxes
the Russians took up the military ques-
tion. How much compulsory military
service would there be for the colOnists
The governor replied by telling them
there would be none at all,-eXcept in
case of emergency, when officers of the
law would have the right to swear
them in for service, to enforce the law
This was a highly satisfactory answer
The Russians next wanted schools

TURKEYS
Will SOAR
VERY HIGH
THE TURKEY TRUST HAS SENT
PRICES VERY HIGH IN THE
SAN FRANCISCO MARKET.

The Thanksgiving Turkey is likely to
soar out of sight from a good many
tables this year. The Turkey Trust is
believed to have gotten in it's work.
Prices have been steadily rising for
several months in the San Francisco
market which is the great source of
supply for this market. There has been
a considerable increase lately so that
the present price, together with the
cost of bringing them down here in
cold storage pretty nearly equals the
price at which they have been selling
at retail for some time-3O cents a
pound.
1t used to be that a considerable
number of wild turkeys were sent to
Honolulu for the Thanksgiving and
Christmas trade, enough to have a
material effect on the market.
But the mongoose and the japanese
have done their deadly work, and it is
said that practically no wild turkeys
are now obtatnable. At least there are
not enough to make any impression on
the market
The crop of domestic turkeys which
| used to be considerable in former
years, has fallen off to almost nothing
so that the islands are more and more
| left to depend on the San Francisco
market. That market seems to have
fallen into the hands of a trust, and
Hawaii will pay for her turkeys this
year.

more recent work by local artists.

jeets is far and away the best ever put
together and they will be recognized as
such by everyone.
Indian work, Samoan curios, Mexican
articles, the Philippines, Guam, Porto
Rico Cuba, the Argentine, Paraguay,
Brazil and Pehu are all represented in
the Spanish American section and a
wonderful representation it is.
Unfortunately the program officially
issued it not quite complete as many
most valuable articles came in after it
had gone to press. The program fur
ther states that the exhibition will close
at 10 on Friday but this means ten in
the evening so that all Honolulu will
have the rare chance of seeing objects
dearly priced by citizens who only for
sweet charity's sake allow them even
temporarily out of their possession.
Those in charge of the exhibition are:

The formal opening of the Art Loan
Exhibition took place quietly at 2
o'clock this afternoon after days of
preparation by ladies interested in the
Free Kindergarten of Honolulu. 1t
requires only a glimpse about the big
store adjoining Levers & Cooke on
King street to appreciate just what
work has been done by those interested
for the display is not only magnificent
in itself, but it is arranged in a man
ner which speaks volumes for the
taste and energy of the, different COM
mittees.
Both floors of the building are en-
ployed, the lower being employed as a
restaurant and also for the music hall,
while the art exhibition proper is in
the upper story.
Beyond the very important fact that
the viands in course of preparation
looked and smelt fit for the testiest of
epicures, there was nothing doing in
the restaurant. There will be from
6 to this evening, however, as dinner
is to be served and the attendance will
be large.
The upper fiat has been divided into
four sections. There is a flower stand
at the head of the stairs, loaded down
with the choicest of blossoms. Pass
ing through, the European room is
first reached and in this are some of
the choicest specimens of the collec-
tion. 1t would be impossible to give
an account of them all for every pos

A BIG

The exchange of about $4,000 acres of
government land on the Island of La
mai for the Bishop Estate wharf ma
kai of the Honolulu Iron Works, is said
may be one of the results of Governor
Carter's recent trip to Lanai.
Governor Carter went over to Lanai
last Friday evening as one of a party
on the U. S. S. Iroquois as the guest
of Captain Niblack on the Iroquois,
and of Charles Gay on the island.
While the remainder of the party
spent Saturday in hunting, the Cover
nor and Charles Gay spent the time
riding over the island and inspecting
its physical condition.
After his return Governor Carter
said that conditions there made it al
most certain that the island was slow
ly lapsing into desert and barrenness,
because of the wasteful decreasing of
the island. He said further that it
was useless to expect that a lessee of
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1905-11-23

the land with lease for no longer a
period than five years, could or would
do anything to remedy the matter see
ing that the only possible remedy was
one that would take years to accom-
plish. The limitation on leases, he
said, was the bane of such conditions
as existed on Lanai.
Now comes the information that
proposals for the exchange of the 35,-
900 acres of government land on La
mai, for the Bishop wharf at a valua-
tion of 100000, has been made.
1t is supposed that if this exchange
is made, the Bishop Estate will either
sell the land to Charles Gay, who
owns practically the remainder of the
island and has a lease on his govern
ment land with seven years yet to run,
or else will make a long term lease of
it to him.
At the valuation of 100000 for the
wharf this would be about 1915 an
acre for the land.

 One would think this was the end Of the rabbit hunt but 1t was not. That night Bobby dreamed that he was only a foot high and lived In hollow trees and under brush heaps in the wood. and that everywhere there were traps set with carames to catch him. Then A dog as big as an elephant chased him through the snow, while he almost died from fright; and rabbits as high as a tree shot cannons at him and struck at him wIfh great clubs till his terror was beyond bounds.
