Garden continued, and bringing the

Mr.. Cooke was not satisfied with the
offers in all cases, however, as to
wages. There was no uniformity. MIR.
Giffard thought this feature unbusi-

agreement.
Mr. Craig thought it was up 10 the
board to adjust all those things righc

Mr.. Atkinson said he could not bind
the government. They had nothing to
go ahead on.
Mr.. Garden feared ii would break up
the whole arrangement TO proceed
without complete understanding.
Not if Mr.. Atkinson's belief Is
right" Mr.. Cooke said. that once they
are landed the board has nothing
further to do with them"
Then it was agreed to have another

Mr.. Garden swung around on Va'@-

If they can give 5000 house away.

They haven't got it." sang Garden
and Craig in duet
Mr.. Atkinson wanted to know, also,

PARTIAL AGREEMENT.

Mr. Atkinson would agree with the
secretary partly. There were lots Of
people to go ahead on. If the others
did not come up to the condition, let
the board get round it. II they gave
up leased land give them an acre
somewhere else. There was no reason
for quarreling with the planters. but
the fact remained that they had not

past You know that"
Mr.. Garden said they had not asked
for land.
Haven't they?" exclaimed the pres
iden1. L have heard them asking for
land for fifteen years. The trouble is
you have herded with the rich. If you
had mixed with the poor you would

Mr. Craig said that all he was afraid
OF was the blocking of the whole move

to kick is now" Mr.. Cooke said.

WANTS MORE TALK.

Mr.. Atkinson thought the matter had
better be talked of more and Mr..
Cooke said there were some planta-
tions having land who would not give
it. Resuming. the president said the
board would never have been promised
any money by the planters if there
was not reason for it.
Mr.. Cooke here attempted to form
basis of decision, saying: You want
us to say that we are not satisfied
with the terms offered by the planta-
tions, and that we will not do any
thing further until the condition of fee
simple land is metz
THAT is mean way to put it, Mr..
Atkinson responded. What / con-
tend for is that we will do nothing be-
yond bringing in people for whom land
is offered. When the people are land
ed on the wharf here this board has
nothing further to do with them.
THE money paid by the association
is in a pot" Mr.. Garden objected.
Let me take you up right there"
Mr. Atkinson INTERCEPTED. 1T is not
in a pot If they didn't want the peo-
pie they would not have put up any
money
Mr. Cooke said he would support
resolution saying that the board was
not satisfied.

marked.
Mr.. Garden believed there were lots
of American farmers who would be
glad to come here and settle

owing to its having no fee simple

going to keep on contributing to this
business if some of it's members are
going to be shut out from getting

That is their misfortune" Mr.. At
kinson replied. But unless the lam
is given we can not get these people at
all. That is what the officials in
Washington say.
Mr. Garden mentioned Waialua and
the Alexander & Baldwin plantations

Mr. Atkinson confessed that he did
not think it was an easy matter at
all. He had just as much reputation
at stake in the matter as any of them.
You know the difficulties at Wash
ington and we know them here Mr..
Garden ventured.
Il know the difficulties here as WE'LL"
the president responded. You don't

Mr.. Craig thought the planters could

their own way, while Mr.. Garden re-
marked that they had no heart in it.
I'VE want to build an electorate in
this country Mr.. Craig concluded.
Mr. Atkinson said a custom of the
planters was to put the camps where
the land was no good, where there
was no water. The boards RESPONSE
bility was only to get settlers here.
IF the planters can get labor out of
the business we'll and good. If not we
can't help it,
Mr. Cooke at this stage read from a
schedule the offerings made by differ
ent plantations. Mr.. Atkinson remark
ed on one large house that offered no
land, with the comment "They are all
very willing to let the people have gov
land"
Mr. Cooke, mentioning w G. Irwin
& Co. as offering to take 500 people,
said Mr.. Giffard was very earnest in
the matter.

COOKE DISAGREES.


Mr.. Atkinson, taking a turn at the
! list, noticed many plantations offering
land. You have done wonders he
said in compliment to his colleag CUES.
Il do not see it, Mr. Cooke pessi-
mistically rejoined. IF you insist on
an acre of land in fee simple we can
do nothing
I'VE know that in the past they have
not succeeded in keeping their labor"
the president resumed. I'VE know that
whenever they have had a chance to
get cheap Asiatic labor they have
crowded out their white labor
Every able-bodied Portuguese in
the country today" Mr.. Cooke an
swered, can get s26 a month. That
doesn't look like crowding them out"
"Domiciling is what we want Mr..
Atkinson laconically commented.
Don't you think that a 35-year
lease is domiciling?" Mr.. Garden
asked.
No, I DON'T the president replied.
II look 20 the future. We have no
right to leave problems to our success
ors. If we don't get settlers the plant
ers will fill the country up with some
cheap Asiatic labor, like the Filipinos,
for instance"
Mr.. Cooke did not wish to be inter-
preted as saying that those down on
the list as offering leased land would
not give fee simple land
WANTS FEE TITLE.
Mr.. Garden saw a difficulty of in
surfing the immigrants labor when he
had the fee to his house and lot. Mr.,
Atkinson suggested that the fee be
given after 4 year, In the meantime
they could find out what the immt-
grant was like. Mr. Garden rounded
out the circle of discussion with a re-
mark that the president was shutting
out Waialua and Eva. Mr.. Cooke
said each OF those might get land but
did not have it now. Mr.. Atkinson
said there Were thousands of acres in
Waialua. to which AIR. Garden replied
that nothing could be done with it for
lack of water.
Mr.. Atkinson did not believe the
planters would give extra wages rath-
er than land. If they did they would
be up against it. He knew the circum-
stances of many of them on the wages
question. Mr.. Cooke repeated the
argument of s26 a month given 10
Portuguese, and the president remind
ed him that trouble among japanese

Sunday.school Class Enter

inadvertently mention of Mrs. A. M. CaFter's Sunday-school class en- tertainment was omitted last weeb.
 The entertainment was given on Thursday evening from 2 until $ o'clock.
 The class is a mixed one of boys and girls of the primary grade. On the evening of the entertainment guests assembled promptly, each one appearing in a very happy mood. When all had arrived the fun began almost at once. The participants were divided into two groups. the smaller ones of the class remaining indoors while the larger ones went out on the lawn. Each group then engaged in games suitable to their tastes. And such jolly time they did have! The games were changed often enough to prevent monotony and to keep the children full of glee every moment.
 At 5 o'clock. refreshments were served. The period of play.ime had put everyone in just that frame of mind to enjoy the repast set before them to the fullest extent. Mrs. Car ter had used ths same ingenuity in planning the refreshments as had characterized the entire entertain ment-made herself child again, SC to speak, in taste and so had just what each child would doubtless have called fora pleasing variety of prettily dec orated cake and Ice cream. etc. in goodly quantity.
