NOT LANDS
FOR SET TIERS
Mr.. Pratt Sheds Light
on the OloWaIu
Offering.

The Land Office has its own prob
lems," said Land Commissioner Pratt
yesterday, when his attention was call
ed to the letter printed in the Adyer-
tiser of July 4. in which criticism was
made of the Land Department for offer
body.
Now, as a matter of fact, that letter
written by American contains great
many statements that are altogether
that is referred to oy the writer is the
land of Olowalu- Ukumehame, but about
the only accurate statement that is
made concerning it is as to the price
for which it is to be sold. The land is
not good, tillable, agricultural land, and
! it has not a fair share of water flow
ing through it. On the contrary, of the
entire tract, the only land to which
a piece containing 4.3 acres. That is
an old crown right.
This land consists of a number of
remnants, the lots running in size from
HOS acres which is the largest down
to lot containing one-tenth of an acre.
Even at that the lots are broken up
within their own boundaries. Here is
the map of the land Take this piece
containing 1918 acres. That is the sec
ond largest piece, the next in size con-
tanning thirty-fve acres. That lot is
broken up, as you see, by numerous
kuleanas that run down into it.
There are $40 acres offered for sale
all told and, as has been said this is
not all in one piece but is a series of
remnants of land. OF this, AIS acres is
agricultural land, although much of this
is of the kind that is called 'kipikua
lands that is to say of the kind that
has to be planted with a pickax. The
lands run for about four miles along
the Maui beach, and can only be sup
piled with water pumped by the plan
tation company.

A LOT OF REMNANTS.

- LII VI INIL4h-N<AAN
IF these lands were offered to set
tiers, they would have to get rights of
way to conduct to their holdings the
water they might buy and would have
to get the plantation to haul their cane
off-or haul it off themselves over the
government road. The lands, in fact
are of a kind that could not be worked
and developed without the aid OF CAPT
tai.
You can see that the surveyor has
marked the quality of the lands on the
map. Here he says that the land is
salt, here it is a salt marsh, here it is
rocky, and here it is salt again. The
people who are willing to buy the lands
will take the bad with the good, and
the government will be the gamer,
whereas by offering the lands in small
holdings the waste lands would still
be on our hands and would be abso-
lutely worthless for any purpose.
I'm offering these lands, the govern
ment has reserved one hundred feet
along the ocean shore for the use of
fishermen or whoever may want to go
in there, it has reserved a strip fifty
feet wide for road, and it has reServ-
ed the landing and the approaches to
it, and sites for schools and churches.
In fact, the government has reserved
everything that is needed to conserve
the public interest. The government is
getting about SS5 an acre for the good
land. and four dollars an acre for the
waste.
another point that American tries
for and fails to make went on Mr..
Pratt. Settlers are not compelled to
pay for land in advance. We have two
methods of offering public lands for
sale. The first of these is by the plan
known as the 'twenty-one year right
of purchase lease The settler buying
his land in this way does not put up
cent At the end of three years, or
any time thereafter, he can pay for it,

During the erection OF the big tor
OF the Carl Hagenbeck Shows Friday
morning, W. Anderson, a menagire
attendant vas severely injured by
pair OF zebras, generally conceded q
be the most vicious animals in the
entire menagire. He was kicked sew
eral times and dragged over 200 yards;
jerked across tent stakes, thrown
violently against poles, wagons and
piles OF lumber, 1t is almost a mir acle
that be escaped with his life.
The big Hagenbeck automobile was
dispatched to the train for medical
assistance and with DR.. Harry Green's
fielder, Chief Of the Medical Depart
ment Of the Organization, on board,
rushed to the lot at a rate Of speed
that made some think seriously OF
calling another anti.automoble con
%vention. The injured man was de-
ferrous when DR.. Greensfelder arrived,
and was found 70 be badly hurt; be-
sides internal injuries the skin was
literally scraped of the entire right
side Of his face, his nose bruised. chin
cut and a finger broken. There being
no hospital here he was given every
attention possible and sent to the
train.
Under the direction OF Phil C0stany,
the Mensgire Superintendent, the
animals ere being placed In their
positions in the menagire tent, which
had just been erected, and Anderson
united a pair zebras from a wagon and
started to the tent with them. Hav-
ing lost the use of bis left arm from
paralysis, the attendant wrapped the
halter rope around bis right hand and
when the animals started to kick and
run he va unable to manage them.
Fritz Drahn,a German animal train
er who has been with the elder Hag-
enbeck for years, says that this is the
only show In which the zebras are not
Gagged.
II might be said that no other cir
Gus in the country takes better care Of
its employees or cares for it sick, In.
iured and unfortunate like the Hag-
enbeck Show. Though every man has
his duties which must be perfor med
within the least possible time and
every second counts when getting
ready for a performance; there was not
one Of the injured mans companions
10 his vicinity who did not steal a
minute to run over to where be lay
and ask IL could be OF assistance, or II
there was anything he could do to
ease his suffering; but the kindly ply
sician waived them aside and with a
deftness that is shown only by the
and a tenderness which
would suggest he was waiting upon a
brother, proceeded 10 make the un-
fortunate as comfortable as conditions
would permit.
