Learn Spantsh.


President Roosevelt, in an impulsive
way, sent for a we'll known young
writer. and asked abruptly, "Do you
know Spanish?" "No, Mr.. President,
I am sorry to say was the reply. st
am sorry to hear it, commented the
chief magistrate, and the subject was
dropped. The young man went away
deeply impressed with the idea that
had he known Spanish he might have
been appointed to high Office in the
diplomatic corps, so he set to work
assiduously, dropping everything else,
and soon acquired proficiency in
that language. The other day he
called at the White House and was
cordially welcomed. In the course of
conversation he said: "By the way,
Mr.. President, I know Spanish we'll; I
both talk and read it with ease. -
ooh, you don't say SOL" was the presi-
dents reply; "then you ought to be
one of the happiest men in the world;
you can read Don Quixote' in the
originate York Press.

WHO WILL Be
CHAIRMAN OF
THE SUPERVISORS
POLITICAL GOSSIP AS TO WHO
WILL BE WHO IN THE NEW
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.

The next Board of Supervisors pre-
sents several interesting situations.
The Craftsmanship is one about which
most interest centers.
The new board is as follows:
Frank Harvey, Supervlsor-at-Large,
Democrat.
Joseph ]. Fern Honolulu, Democrat
Samuel c. Dwight, Honolulu, Repub-
lcan.
Charles Hustace, Jr., honolulu, Re
publican.
Frank *. Archer, Eva, Independent
elected by the aid of the Democrats.
Andrew Cox Waianae and Waialua,
Republican.
j. NJ. Kealoha, Kuolau, Home Ruler,
1t is claimed by most OF the Demo-
Gratis that the Craftsmanship lies be-
tween Harvey or Fern, Democrats
Some Democrats say that they do not
want the Craftsmanship but favor
Archer, Independent.
Republicans say that Hustace is the
only logical chairman,
The appointment of a Road super
visor presents another interesting sit
uation. 1t is reported that Archer does
not want Johnson. If his vote is
thrown that way the Democrats Will
be able to name the road man.
Johnson has everywhere given salts
faction as the road supervisor and he
may get the req ppointment.
Chances favor the appointment OF
Gere as the county engineer to sue
coed himself.
In fact the new board of supervisors
affords more room for speculation than
any other of the political changes
wrought by the recent election.
Cox and Archer are the only mem
bers of the board who were reelected
S. c. Dwight was appointed by the
Governor to succeed e. r. Adams g
short time ago.
There is much speculation as to how
the chairmanships of the committees
will be divided up. 1t will be just as
! difficult carrying on the finances of the
| county this year as last. The roaC
committee is considered an importan
one, and the police committee can be-
made an important one if the righ
man is placed at the head of it.

ENTERPRISE TAKES
SUGAR BALLAST
CARRIES EXTRA COAL FOR HER
ESCORT, THE TUG FEARLESS IN
CASE OF EMERGENCY.

The Matson 5. 5. Enterprise, Captain
Youngren, sails from the railway wharf
tomorrow morning direct for San Fran
cisco, accompanied by the tug Fearless.
The Enterprise is now taking on
sugar at the railway wharf and will
load enough of this to do for ballast,
not taking a full sugar cargo She was
moved yesterday from the channel to
the railway wharf under her own steam
and seemed not to suffer much incon-
venienCe from her crippled screw from
which two blades are missing.
If good weather prevails she will ira
vel to the coast under her own steam
In the event of heavy seas she may
hear from the broken screw and it
would take but a little racing on the
part of her propeller to leave the screw
bladeless. Then the Fearless would
take hold and tow the big vessel to the
Golden Gate
The Fearless came off the marine
railway yesterday. She has had the
accumulations of sea growths removed
from her underside and is now at the
foot Of Fort street, piling coal i'm sacks
on her deck, just as 1t has been piled
on the Slocum's deck The Enterprise
carries extra coal in case the Fearless
should require IT during the upward
trip.

per cent bonds. The bonds are pay
able at the Bank of Hawaii or the
Anglo California Bank on October /,
1886.
These bonds are secured by the first
mortgage or deed of trust, subject to
redemption. The agreement provides
that in event of any sale under the
deed of trust the whole property of
the Ditch Company shall be sold in one
parcel, unless otherwise directed by
the courts or by the majority of hold
ers of bonds outstanding.
The indenture further provides that
within three years after the completion
of the ditch and not later than Decem-
Der 81, 1909 and each year thereafter
until the bonds are fully secured, the
Ditch Company shall pay the Bank Of
Hawaii such sum of money as will pro-
vide for the payment of said 100000 of
gold bonds, the money to be placed on
deposit at interest.
The bonds are dedeemable on Octo-
Der 1, 1911 or any succeeding October /,
at the rate of 10 per cent premium on
their face or par value, and thereafter
at a premium of per cent.
There was $1,4S9 in stamps on the
document. John Hind as president
and A. Lewis Jr, as secretary signed
for the Ditch Company and P. c. Jones
and c. NJ. Cooke for the Bank of Ha-

WILL URGE CHANGES
IN LAND LAWS
LAND COMMISSIONER PRATT NOT
IN FAVOR OF THE SETTLEMENT
ASSOCIATION SECTION OF LAWS

During the recent county campa gn,
said Land Commissioner Pratt, there
was the greatest amount of buncombe
talked by the various speakers about
the public lands. Ii was represented
that the legislature would remedy al
legged faults in our system. As mat
ter Of fact such talk and promises were
ridiculous. The legislature is abso-
lutely powerless to change our land
laws. Under Section 70 of the Organic
Act. IL is especially provided that
changes in the land laws can be made
only by Congress. The Legislature is
therefore. unable to accomplish any
actual change. 1t can do practically
nothing except by thepassing Of reso-
sutton urging upon Congress the
changes that may be desired.
u will, in all probability, make a
special report to the Governor recon-
mending that our laws be changed in
regard to the settlement associations.
/ have always regarded that part of
our laws as distinctively un-American.
My views on this subject are well
known. According to our laws, lands
which are to be opened up under the
settlement part of the law are not open
to the general public but when adj
vertised the seekers for the land are
limited to the particular settlement ap-
plicants. l consider that that part OF
the laws should be changed and l will
make such recommendation.
There are other changes Of our land
laws that / have in mind and will, in
all likelihood include them in recon-
mendations that l may make to the
| Governor The details of those posi-
BILE recommendations do not care tC
make public at this time"

THAT CIVIC
FEDS BEAT HARRIS
POLITICIANS SAY THAT HARRIS
WAS TAKEN AT HIS WORD IN
REGARD TO ENDORSEMENT

One of the greatest surprises of the
recent election was the defeat of w.
w. Harris who was the Republican
candidate for the office of Supervisor
at-Large. 1t is now laid at the doors
of the Civic Federation. Prominent
politicians who have been studying the
returns claim that the latter organiza-
ton took him at his word and knitted
him after giving him their endorse
ment.
After the Civic Federation had come
out with their endorsement of the diff
ferent candidates, among whom was
w. w. Harris, a great number of the
men endorsed did not like it and said
as much. Harris however was prob
ably the one who raised the greatest
row over it, and was seemingly unable
to forget it. He stated time and again
upon the platform that he would rath-
err go down to defcl-, than have the
endorsement Of the Civic Federation.
Clever politicians now state that the
Federation simply took him at his word
and obliged him. The loss Of their
vote was what is said to have defeated
him.
